The art of making gold artifcially

THE MIGHTY LION.
II Is Easy Enough to Scare Him If
You Know Just How

YOU Know Just ROW.
If lion or tiger suddenly appears
before you, just hold chair out In
front of him, and he won't do a thing.
Allen Williams, who, in the course of
his experience with wild animals has
been in that predicament often enough
to know, says: These creatures have
much more limited intelligence than
is generally supposed. They can take
in only one thing at time. and the
four legs of chair would keep any
lion busy thinking fsf{a long time.
THAT is the reason why animal
trainers carry two whips when they
are in the circus ring. { One for crack
ing and awning the performers, the 9th
er for emergencies. If one of the lions
tries to attack him the trainer simply
holds the reserve whip in front of him.
The two objects together are too much
for the lions intelligence, and he is i'm
mediately subdued.'
Another proof of the limited intelli.
gence of the cat tribe, say trainers, is
the fact that their performances must
always come in the same order of sue
ceSsion. If by some accident the order
is broken. the animals are completely
lost, and the trainers IRE few who can
keep them in submission once they be-
| come confused. In fact. most trainers
consider themselves lucky in case of
| this sort If they can get. the lions
| quietly back into their cages.

as treacherous as 1t is stupid.-Milwau'

The sequoia in Humboldt is the tall
est tree In the whole United States.
But the tourist from the east or west
knows it not. What would he say to
the information that in the northwest
of California grows mighty continu-
Gus forest of these great trees and that
it takes days to travel merely from
end to end of that forest, which is
longer than the distance from Boston
to New York, or from Chicago to St
Louis. Yet such is the case.
On the ridges and fats of Humboldt
is the forest, and in that forest the
trees grow to twenty-siX feet in diane
ter and tower 400 feet toward the sky.
Do you know what those figures mean?
Measure the room In which you are
now sitting. If it Is very large room,
the longest dimensions would just
about contain one of these great
trunks. Look out of your window and
see the people more than a city block
away. That is the distance from
which one sees the topmost bough of
these stupendous giants.
