BARNUM's OLD LION.

Now the Great Snowman Turned HE
-.t,. Death to Account
Among the features Of the parades
OF the Barnum circus there was for
merly one that never failed to attract
attention. On the top OF one Of the
wild beast cages lay an enormous Hon.
He was not confined IN any way, and
nervous people watching the parade
would shudder at the sight aud con-
template the terrible pOEsiblliW Of the
lion springing into the midst Of the
crowd.
But the venerable old king Of beasts
had reached the leonlne dotage, and
stiffened muscles and blunted claws
rendered him harmless. He was as
mild as a kitten and In the winter
quarters where he was allowed to
roam at viii. sometimes had to be pro
tected from the Onslaughts OF irrever-
ent and mischievous puppies.
One night he wandered from the
quarters. In the course OF his travels
he chanced on a barn where a meek
eyed COW was placidIy chewing her
cud. A faint flicker OF the slumbering
Jungle spirit stirred his pulse. and
with a crashing blow Of the huge fore
paw, the COW was slain; then, lying
down, beside, his victim, he went to
sleep and dreamed OF the time when he
was a shaggy little whelp playing with
his brothers ander the bright sun of his
farOf African home.
In the morning the owner Of the COW,
a stalwart female with the blood OF
Irish kings In her veins. entered the
barn with milk pail in hand. She was
filed with wrath at the sight that met
her gaze. With keen edged ak in her
hand and grim determination in her
eye she fearlessly approached the sleep
ing lion. and when the men sent out to
search for him arrived he lay cold In
death. Barnum promptly paid for the
dead COW and engaged to appear on
exhibition "the woman who in mortal
combat had slain a lion"

WATERLOO.
The ImmutabiIity Of the Famous Old
Battlefield.

The Immutability Of the Famous Old
Battlefield.
One of the rIOst striking features Of
a visit to the battlefield OF Waterloo
today is the immutability OF the entire
scene in which one OF. the greatest bat
ties of history took place. NOtwith-
standing the many years that have
passed since the memorable day Of
June is, 1915, the entire scene Of the
battle remains practically unchanged
and untouched, and the very buildings
around which the tide of battle surged
the fiercest, save for the necessary res
torations Of the damage they sustain
ed in the conflict, remain exactly as
they were, nor has any encroachment
Of building or progress marred the his
toric field.
The battlefield Of Waterloo is an
open, undulating stretch Of good farm
ing land. On the day of the battle the
greater part Of 1t was covered with
crops OF rye, wheat. barley and oats,
and the same crops are still grown
there each season. The field Is inter
sected by two highroads branching at
Mont st. Jean, the one on the right
leading to Nivelles, while that on the
left, which lay In the center OF both
armies, led south to Genappe, Char
leroi and Namur. Upon the crest Of
the ridge which formed the first Of the
allied positions a crossroad runs east
and west This road, on approaching
the spot where the "Lion OF Waterloo
now stands. ran through a cut in the
crest some twelve to fourteen feet
deep, and 1t was this point that was
known after the battle as the Hollow
Road. Some 800 yards to the south
east of the Lion" Is the farm OF La
Haye Sainte, while about 900 yards
20 the southwest stands HougoumOnt,
the old chateau, farmhouse, outbuild-
ings, walled garden and orchard, which
played such an important part in the
fate OF the day. These buildings are
nearly 800 years old and were built
with a view to their defense, as many
old stone lOopholes still TO be found
testify. = Robert Howard Russell in

Bully Of New Mexico Town Had th-
Tables Turned on Him.


Tables Turned on Him.
The average tenderfoot Is not cow
ard. He simply lacks ranch expert
ence. An illustration OF this fact oc.
Cured down in New Mexico several
years ago. One day a pale looking,
thin and sickly young man alighted
from the train and put up at the lit
tie adobe hotel at Bsrnal Springs. The
tenderfoot walked up to the bar and
called for a bottle OF soda pop.
"'Tain't allowed to drink that sort O
stun out here" said a toughy. what
you want Is n stiff drink o. red liquor.
Mr.. Barkeeper, set out the pison for
this young feIler." you have the best
OF me-" replied the tenderfOot, "and
I'll have to drink the stun, but hope
the time may come when can make
you drink my choice OF liquid"
The tenderfOot raised the glass and
guiped down the whisky. Sandy had
had his way about Il, and he made no
e1ort to comprehend the vague remark
Of the stranger. The tsnderfoot left
for a ranch down the Pecos the next
day after the incident In the saloon,
and he was forgotten until one after
noon more than a year afterward q
strong, healthy looking young man
rode up to the hotel on q brOncho,
dropped the bride reins upon the
ground and dlsmounted. He had the
appearance Of a typical young man Of
the range. His face was bronHad and
his eyes clear and penetrating. II owe
q fellow a debt which believe l win
pay right now" the stranger said.
No sooner had he made the remark
than he walked Oh in the direction Of
Sandy, who had his gun In his right
hand and was firing it into the air
every few, steps. The stranger ap-
preached Sandy, pulled his gun and
unceremOniOusly dragged the bully up
to the saloon and led him in that fash
ion up to the bar. "Get me q pan Of
water and set It upon the noor." he
said to the barkeeper.
The order was complied with, Sandy
standing there meekly, wondering what
was going to happen to him. NOW,
get down on the 6O0r and drink water
out Of that pan like a dog" the former
tenderfoOt ordered. Sandy at first re-
fused, but when the stranger began
twirling his gun around on his fore1n-
ger and said the order must be obeyed
the c0wed fellow unlimbered and lay
down upon the floor and began drink
ing water out Of the pan.-Denver Field

A STORY OF NELSON.
The Presence Of Mind Of ths Great
English Admiral.

The Presence Of Mind Of the Great
English Admiral.
Captain Mahan relates the following
anecGote concerning Lord Nelson's let
ter proposing a truce to the crown
prince of Denmark. dispatched in the
midst Of hostilities:
The decks being cleared Of all parti-
Iions fore and aft and all ordinary con-
VeDiences removed, Nelson wrote in
full view Of all on the deck where he
was. at the casing Of the rudder head,
standing, and as he wrote an officer
standing by took a copy. The original.
In his own hand. was put into an en-
velope and sealed, with his arms. The
officer was about to use wafer. but
Nelson said:
mo: send for sealing wax and can
die"
Some delay. followed owing to the
mans having had his head taken of
by a ball. Send another messenger
for the wax" said the admiral when
Informed Of this. and when the waters
were again suggested he simply reiter-
ated the order.
A large quantity of wax was used
and extreme care taken that the i'm.
preston Of the seal should be perfect.
Colonel Stewart asked:
why under so hot a fire and after
so lamentable an accident have you at
tached so much importance to a cir
cumstanee apparently trlhingT"
Had l made use of a wafer" re-
piled Nelson. ''the wafer would have
been still wet when the letter was
presented to the crown prince. He
would have inferred that the letter
was sent on in hurry and that we
had some pressing reasons for being in
hurry. The wax told no tales"

THE SUN A PUZZLE.


Great Blazing Orb.
The great tan OF Gre which we cali
the sun Is not really the sun. No one
has ever seen the sun series OF
concentrlc shells enyelops n nucleus Of
which we know absolutely nothing ex-
cept that It must be- almost Infinitely
hotter than the fercest furnace and
that 1t must amount to more than nine
tenths Of the solar mass
That nucleus Is the real sun, iAesvor
hidden from us. The outermost Of the
enveloplng shells IL about 5000 miles
thick and is called the chrOmosphere.
It~ls gaseous n0ld, tinted with the
scarlet glare Of hydrogen. and 80 furi-
ously active that II spurts up great
tongues Of glowing gas (prominencsu)
to the height Of thousands Of miles.
Time was when this aRitated sea OF
crimson Gre could be seen to advantage
only during an eclipse. Now special M
struments are used which enable AS
tronomers to study II In the full glare
Of the sun.
Beyond the chrOmosphere. far beyond
the prominences even, lies the nebulOun
pallid corona visible only during the
vanishing moments OF q total eclipse,
aggregating not more than seven days
In century.
No one has ever satisfactorily ex-
planned how the highly attenuated
matter composing both the proml-
neBces and the corona is supported
without falling back into the sun un-
der the pull Of solar gravltation. Now
that Arrhenius has cos.1ics;;y applied
the effects Of light pressure a solution
10 presented.
How difficult II is to account for
such delicate streamers as the Tromi
nences ION the sun Is better compre-
hended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful is the grip Of
solar gravitatiOn.
II the sun were a habitable globe
and you could transport yourself to its
surface, you would md yourself pulled
down so forcibly by gravitAtiOn that
you would weigh two tons. assuming
that you are an ordinary human being
Your clothing alone would weigh
more than hundred pounds. BASEBALL
could be played In solar drawing
room, for there would be some diff
Guilty in throwing a ball moro than
thirty feet.
Tennis would be degraded to a form
Of outdoor pingpOng.
From these considerations II is plain
that gravitation on the sun would tend
to prevent the formation Of any lam
bent streameTs and to pull down to itS
surface masses os any gize.-Harperu

Insomnia Is the not uncommon fate
OF the brain worker who after years OF
continuous mental strain retires from
active life. The reason Is that mental
activity demands a large supply OF
blood for the brain, and the blood ves-
sells gradually accommodate themselves
to this large supply. But when the
hard work is over the brain does not
always realize that II needs less nOur-
ishment, and hence the condition Of ex-
cessive mental activity which is what
insomnia is.--LondOn Mail.
