Colonel Sanders was a passenger on
one of the Montana railroads at one
time. He had the annual pass on the
road, but ON this occasion he had left
it at home. He had travelled the same
route many times before and was well
known to the conductor. When that
official came around for the tickets, the
Colonel told him of his forgetfulness.
The conductor, however, was obdurate;
he must have ticket or money. The
Colonel, rather than have a scene,
finally pulled out a five dollar bill,
which vas ample to cover the expenses
of his trip. 1t was very ragged af-
fair--all torn and pasted.
That's fine looking bill to give

Colonel Sanders was by this time
thoroughly nettled.

expense of the conductor. = Pittsburg

The marvellous performances of the
iugSers of Japan have been widely
known ever since the isolation Of the
Island Empire was broken. More than
thirty years ago Bayard Taylor, the
American traveller and literator, told
this story:
Il was witness TO some astonishing
specimens of illusion. After a variety
Of tricks with tops, cups of water and
paper butterflies. the juggler exhibited
to the spectators large open fan,
which he held in his right hand, then
threw it into the air caught it by the
handle in his left hand. squatted down,
famed himself, and then turning his
head in profile, gave loud sigh dur
ing which the image of galloping
horse issued from his mouth. Still
tanning himself he shook from his
right sleeve an army of little men, who
presently, bowing and dancing, van
ished out of sight. Then he bowed,
closed the fan and held it in his two
hands. during which time his own
head disappeared. then became visible,
but of colossal size. and finally reap
peared in its natural dimensions, but
multiplied four or five times. They
set jar before him, and in short
time he issued from the neck. rose
slowly in the air. and vanished in
clouds along the ceiling"

In one Of the gallery tanks on the
salt water side of the Aquarium are
three sea turtles, each about foot
in length, the three including two
green turtles and hawkbill. They
attract much attention here, where
they can be seen close at hand and
their motions in the water studied.
1t may be that one of them will be
seen swimming through the water,
head up, with its body suspended at
an angle and tapping its two broad
forward fiippers, one on either side,
like the wings of q bird. Then the
turtle looks strikingly like some sort
of odd bird flying through the water.
A visitor who halted in front OF
this tank yesterday was so struck by
the sight of one of these turtles that
he raised his arms and swung them
with the swimmers tapping nippers,
keeping time with the dying turtle

1t is prehuman." As primitive man

food and water. where TO find shelter
in cave or thicket, what roots and
fruits were nutritious or harmful, what
animals were available for eating, and

beasts had TO do likewise. and learn,

science is nowadays, glance over the
latest periodicals of societies devoted
TO it. Nothing that deals with the
depths of the sea, the heights of the
mountains, the run of tides. the dan

of ancient cities, the races of mankind,

how the Japanese, whose legends, not
to mention history, do not go back fur

that their islands originated from the

lie dipped into the sea-; how this last

how the Victoria Falls, discovered In

geography.
1t is part OF geography how the
Black Hills of Colorado rising sud-
denly from a plain, produce rainfals
there, which in turn produce forests
and wash away the surface soil, ex.
posing ore. and thus attract population.
1t is part of geography when the 45O
miles of ice mass as high as the tall
est New York building has receded
fourteen miles toward the South Pole
since 1871; or when 1t is found that out
of the Red Sea runs at the bottom Il
current more rapid than that which
runs in at the top. So also when Can
ada erects two new provinces, or
Alaska reveals gold or removes its
capital from Sitka TO Juneau, or when
it is demonstrated that the moon does
not foretell the weather. So, likewise,
when Norway chooses to be kingdom
instead of a republic land elects a
king, and when 400 miles of tele.
phones are stretched up the Congo, or
telegraph poles are, as they will be
next winter, set across Sahara Desert.
This scarcely begins to indicate what
the new geography comprises, or how,
with the growth of communication
among the human inhabitants of the
earth-wlth the invention of steam,
the printing press. electricity, Marconi-
graphs and the indefatigable enterprise
of explorers-thc old limitations have
been extended. In few years 1000
miles more of coast line have been
mapped toward the South Pole; few
places in the ocean, which used to have
"unfatbOmable depths" remain un-
sounded; the sacred and impenetrable
city Of Lhasa has been penetrated;
Korea has been deprived of au i'm
memorial sovereignty; Mexico's free

wild Beasts of India.

Year by year records are published
of the destruction of human and cat.
tie life by the wild beast and snakes
of British India. Last year 24.516
human beings and 96,226 cattle were
killed. and of the people, q, ,S27 deaths
were attributed to snakes, while Of
the cattle, $4,000 were killed by wild
beasts, panthers being charged with
10000 and tigers with 10000 of this
total; snakes accounted for 10000.
And this is but trihing percentage Of
the actual annual mortality, as it ex-
cludes the feudatory States, with their
100000 square miles and 60,000O00 in
habitants, where no records are obtain
able. Nor do the fatalities grow ma
terially less, notwithstanding the eff
forts of sportsmen and rewards by
Government, because the development
of railways and roads, as the jungle Is
reclaimed for agriculture, means con-
tinuous invasion of the snake and tiger
infested territory.-Caspar Whitney, in

their return and its vigilance did not
