TRAPPING "BIG CATS"
Easiest Victims Of the Wild Animal
Trapper the Most Fsroeious.

E,siest Victims Of the Wild Animal
Trapper the Most Fsroeious.
Strange as it may seem, the
easiest victims of the wild animal
trapper are the most ferocious-
those bloodthirsty huge cats, the
lion and tiger, and those other
beautiful felines, the panther, the
leopard and the jaguar.
With the lion, for instance, it il
simply a matter Of stealing the
cubs. But kidnapping her whelps
from a dangerous beast like a lion
ess is, of course, an exciting prob
lem.
In the heart Of the darkest, most
impenetrable thicket, in the midst
of a tangle of vine and thorn and
creeper, the lion mother has with
her from four to six cubs-golden

other, scrambling over the great
yellow body of the majestic crea-
ture which none on earth save these
defenseless kittens may 60 near.
Not in the wild world, it would
seem, was a home better protected.
Yet out of a thicket well to lee
ward the trapper's eyes are bent
upon the lion home, for once in
every twenty-four hours nature her
self renders these babies defense
less. when the mother, stirred by
the pangs of hunger, ventures forth
to hunt and to eat.
Beside the trapper is a pair OF
Kafirs armed with nets made OF
stout cords. In the trapper's hand
is a rifle loaded with a slug of lead
as big as little finger. The slight
est swapping of twig and the dan
gerous brute comes to the attack
headlong like yellow streak, or il
| she cannot locate the danger she
picks up her cubs one by one by
the neck, bounding away with them
in ten foot springs and hiding them
in a tangle even more dense than
| the other.
For hours the trapper must lie,
nerves on edge, before the mother
| quits her lair to strike down buck
| or a water buffalo. Then cautious

presses forward and into the un'
guarded lion home.

Capturing cubs is, however, only

INN sH0WR00MS.
They Were the Forerunnsrs q the
Public Museums.

The genesis Of the pnblic mu-
scum was the "raree show" attach
ed to an inn. Such shows were
very common as early as the SIX
teenth century. From being the
resort of all classes the inn became
the natural receptacle for every
thing old world, out of the way or
curious, ranging from flint imple-
ments and Roman coins turned up
by the pillow to stuffed freaks OF the
animal kingdom. The public house sc
museum is still with us. The Bell
and Mackerel, in the Mile End road,
contains a fine museum Of 10000
natural history specimens, original
" founded by the East London
chronological society. The Hole
In the Hall, in Borough High
street, possesses many strange
freaks. At the Spaniards, Jack
Straw's Castle and the Vale 81
Health, all on or near Hampstead
Heath, are preserved relics of high
waymen and other local curios.
Only few weeks ago the museum
of the Edinburgh Castle, near Re
gents park. containing valuable
relics of Oliver Cromwell, Nelson
I-t
and Stanley and three great auk's
eggs, was dispersed by auction:
The first persons scientifically to
exploit this taste were those bold
travellers and indefatigable collect
ors the Tradescants, father and
son, who between the years 1920
and 1862 ran the first public mu-
scum and botanic garden at their
residence in South Lambeth. Co
pious references to their wonderful
'closet of curiosities," also known
as the "Ark," are found in the
works of lzaak Walton, Evelyn,
etc. The catalogue prepared by the
curator, Elias Ashmole, in 1856
testifes to its containing a superb
collection of coins and warlike in
struments. Its great treasure, how
ever. was a stuffed dodo from the
! Mauritius, a bird extinct now over
200 years. OF course there was
some rubbish as well. The younger
Tradescant was shrewd enough to
exchange an alleged dragons egg
for that of a rare bird from Turkey,
but he exhibited feather from the
phenix's wing, a piece OF the stone
of Diana's tomb and blood that
rained in the Isle of Wight in iii
When John Tradescant, Jr., died in
1862 long and bitter litigation en-
sued between the deceaseds wldo"
and Ashmole as to the right to in
herit the collection. Eventually thu
court of chancery decided in Ash
mole's favor, and he carried off thu

basis of the Ashmolean at Oxford
