A sedouin's Idea Of a Locomotive.

A Bedouin's Idea Of Locomotive.
It is interesting to know that the
railroad between Jaffa and Jerusalem
was made possible by locomotives
from Philadelphia. They were orig
lnally made, writes Professor Fl. W.
Dunning in To-day In Palestine" for
a road in Central America which I'M
fortunately could not pay for them
when they were ready for delivery.
They happened to be just right for the
Jaffa-J Jerusalem line and were at once
purchased and shipped.
/ happened to be in Jerusalem he
writes. the day the first locomotive ar
rived there, Aug. 20, 1892. Not only
the people from the city, but many
from the villages, came to see the new
wonder. Among them was a Bedouin
from beyond Jordan. He carried back
the report to the tribe:
at is like a big iron woman. IL

The Lion and the Child.

The strange spectacle Of lion play
ing with a child is reported to have
been witnessed at Vryheid. A Dutch
sfarmer, accompanied by his wife and
little boy, was out shooting game
Suddenly the attention Of the parents
was drawn to the child, who had tod
died a short distance away to gather
Wild flowers. Growing with delight
the little fellow was pulling the hair
Of a full grown lion, and the animal
appeared to be enjoying the operation.
spellbound, the farmer and his wife
stood gazing at the scene. The farmer,
even If his gun had contained shot
could not have fred because Of the
child. The lion skipped spordvely
round the boy until, startled by loud
shouts from the parents, 1t walked
quietly away, followed by ioness,
which up to then had lain concealed In
the long grass. A hunt was afterward
organized, but the lions had disappear
ed into the thick bush.-East Rand
