THE MIGHTY LION.
It Is Easy Enough to Scare Him #
 YoG Know Just How.

vt NHoW S9bt FlOHs
 If q lion or tiger suddenly appears before you. just hold a 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 predlcament often enough to know. says: These creatures have q much more limited intelligence than ls generally supposed. They can take in only one thing at a time. and the four legs of a chair would keep any Hon busy thinking for long time.
 That Is the reason why animal trainers carry two whips when they are in the circus ring. One for crack ing and awing the performers. the oth- CT for emergencies. If one of the lions tries to attaci; 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 sulldusd"
 Another proof Of the limited intellI. gence of the cat tribe. say trainers. is the fact that their performances must always come fin the same order of sue cession. If by some accident the order Ia broken. the animals are completely lost, and the trainers gre few who can keep them Tn submission once they be- come confused. In fact. most trainers consider themselves lucky In q case of this sort f they can get inc Hons quietly hack Into tkeir cages.
 The whole cat family. moreover. Is as treacheroIs as ii is stupid.-NIilwau. kee Sentinel.

DESPERADO KILLED
Qne of Those Who Shot Up Boston Town and Killed
 Two Persons.

Boston, July 23.-After three deadly battles between three des- peradoes, the police and small army of citizens, the first encounter being late Tuesday night in bar room, the second last evening in the peaceful streets of Jamaica Plain, and the third early to-day in the quietude of a cemetery, one of the bandits was riddled with bullets and killed, second, believed to be wounded. was being searched for in the cemetery at s a. m. to-day, while the third was taken last evening in the South station.
 The desperadoes left behind them over their trail of mile and half two dead and eleven wounded, and proved themselves to be the most desperate characters that have ap- peared in the streets of Boston for several years. All are believed to be foreigners.
 The list of dead 1nd injured dur ing the two days of terrorism by the bandits follows. Dead:
 Unknown bandit.
 Frank J. Drake, 23 Byron street.
 Herbert Knox, watchman Forest Hills cemetery,
 Wounded:
 Patrick Doren, shot in abdomen and condition serious.
 Thomas Moore, conductor, shot in abdomen.
 Patrolman McMahon, shot in ab- domen and right side.
 Mrs Della Fallon, shot in face and body.
 G. N. Fleming, shot in arm.
 Patrolman Edmund P. Ingalls,, shot twice in left leg,
 Mrs Edna ]. Carr, shot in right hand
 Patrick McGlinn, shot in chin.
 John Nolan, shot in left breast.
 Patrolman Thomas Thompson, shot in leg.
 Thomas Winterston, sfiot in base of skull and left arm.
 Drake and Doren were shot in the saloon on Tuesday night, while the others received their wounds last night or this morning.
 The desperado captured at the South station late yesterday was about to take train for New York. His name is believed to be Giuseppe Devioo, and he is charged with mur- der, having been identified by four men as one of the three who "shot up" the saloon on Tuesday night.
 Still another man was taken into custody this morning in the ceme- tery whom the officers thought might be another member of the gang, but later proved to be Hugh McDougall, a former elevated road employe.
 The desperadoes' caree: of terror started on Tuesday night by tho shooting up" of the saloon of Win terston & McManus on Washington street. Jamaica Plain. Shortly be- fore the closing hour, when the bar room was full of men, three men, apparently Italians, made their ap- pearance at the door and shouted, "All hands up." When the shooting was over 1t was found that Frank ]. Drake had been killed, Patrick Dorm had re- ceiyed bulletin the abdomen and | Thomas Winterston had been sho. at the base of the skull and in the | left arm.

BIG TREES.
The Cloud Piercing sequoias of North.
 ern California.

me Siouo Flercing Sequoias or North.
 ern California.
 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 a mighty continu. ous forest of these great trees and that 1t 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 flats of Humboldt is the forest, and in that forest the trees grow to twenty-slx feet in diame- 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 1t is very large room, the longest dimensions would just about contaiS 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 stupcndous giants.
 The redwood of California is the great tree of the Pacific coast. Two thousand acres of 1t exist in Oregon along the Chetco river. South of the Chetco continuous redwood belt be- gins md increases in width from ten miles at Del Norte county to eighteen or twenty miles and keeps on un- broken to southern. Humboldt county. Here is gap. but fin Mendocino the belt becomes dense again and widens out to thirty-fve miles. South of that county the tree grows in isolated patches, Standard.
