Japanese Could Not Understand Their
Desire for Privacy While in
the Bath.

An interesting article in the Wide
World Magazine is entitled 1.-TWO Girls
in Japan" by Irene Lyon. Here is Miss
Lyons account:
The bath itself-which looked like
large box-was a wooden structure
built into a corner, and all round the
inside ran a convenient ledge for sit
ting on. The water being little short
of boiling, our movements were de-
cidedly cautious, and, curling ourselves
up on the ledge, we tried to grow ac-
customed to the temperature by de-
grees before plunging right in. When,
thinking to remove the traces OF our
journey by vigorous application or
soap, we began to scrub ourselves, IL
suddenly occurred to us that such
proceeding was not etiquette" out or
consideration to the other bathers. 80
we stepped out, soaped ourselves
we'll. and rinsed our bodies with the
wooden ladies' supplied for the pur-
pose, before getting back into the wa
ter again.
We were sitting on the ledge, chat
ting peacefully, when a sudden premo-
milton of danger made me look up, and
the spectacle which greeted my eyes
caused me to utter one agonized gasp,
and then sink rapidly out of sight. The
mains we had taken to block up the
gap at the entrance had all been in

forward, but recovering herself
caught sight of the man on the pony,
and before l could shoot again she
was half way towards him, going like
a flash. He had not seen her when
l shot, as she was hidden by the
grass, and by the time he got his pony
turned around and started she was
close to him. He galloped straight
away from me, and 1 dare not fire at
the lioness for fear of hitting him.
For nearly 200 yards it looked any
money on the lioness. She got right
under the pony's tail, but did not seem
to know how to strike, and at length,
to my great relief, the pony began
to gain on her. She at once pulled up,
and turned into bush where she lay
down stretched out at full length,
painting. Running up, shot her be-
fore she could prepare for another eff
fort. My first bullet had gone through
the muscles of the forearm just below
the shoulder, and being solid had only
drilled quite a small hole. The ma
tives said that the reason she could
not catch the pony was because lion
could not spring before momentary
halt to crouch. If this is so, pony
could always get away from lion
galloping straight behind it, unless the
pony was such bad one that the lion
could come alongside. On two or
three occasions l have been chased
myself in the open grass plain, but
have always got fair start, and my
pony has had no difficulty in keeping
out of the lions way. A pony boy OF
mine was very nearly caught one day
in the open. He was trying to round
up a lion, and got rather too close
to it on a tired pony. He only just
got away. This same lion afterwards
chased me and two or three of my
men for quite long time. Unless a
pony falls down, l am sure there is
nothing to be feared from lion in
the open, if one gives him a pretty
wide berth, so as to get start when
he charges. AS a rule the lion will

had left it, in a very bad way, but
Immediately proceeding to kill and cut
open the camels, he took the water out
of their stomachs and gave it to the
pony, which revived sufficiently to
struggle to the wells. After few
days rest it completely recovered.
Hassan added that he could very soon
get some more camels, and that he
would rather have cut the Threats of
a hundred than have lost his pony.
This story shows a great deal of re-
source in a native, but the life So
mali leads makes him wonderfully
quick at finding way out of fix of
this kind 1t was very lucky the pony
was not killed by lions or hyenas
while Hassan was away.
Just before Hassan's pony was near,
ly caught by the lioness we had pony
killed by lions, the man on his back
escaping rather cleverly. At that time
we had two separate camps, six or
seven miles apart, each of them on the
edge of the Marar Prairie, on a ban
or open grass plain many miles in eX-
tent. This was the best place for
lions it has ever been my luck to come
across. Hardly a day passed that
lions were not seen by one or the other
of us, very often right out in the open,
miles from any bush. 1t was cool.
cloudy weather while we were there,
and the lions seemed to do most of
their hunting in the daytime. There
were so many, and they were SO bold,
that the Somalis were quite nervous
about walking through the bush in the
daytime. Between us we shot "a
lions in this place in little over
fortnight. Besides lions there was
more game than have ever seen any
where else. Large herds OF mart
beeste, oryx, and Sommering's gazelle
were to be seen feeding in every direc-
ton. Besides this, in the open there
were a good many ostriches and few
hunting cheetahs In the bush at the
back of our camps were Walters ga

Opposes RIeached Flour.

The Lancet (London) agrees fully
with the action Of the bureau of chem
istry of the department of agriculture
in this country in ruling against the
bleaching of wheat flour. THE public, !"
says the Lancet, would be well ad-
vised to abandon the fallacious notion
that the wilderness of bread is mark
of quality. On the contrary, it nearly
always means an insipid, unpalatable
bread, and an attractive flavor is fac
tor of considerable Importance in con-
nection with the digestibility of food.
The destruction of the natural color Of
-four by bleaching agents synchronizes
with the destruction of its attractive
favor. Such tampering with the staff
of life should be made illegal"

them, but they were much too quick
for him with his broken shoulder, and
were at him again directly he re-
treated to the bush. The little Mid
gan and one of my men were close
by, yelling with excitement. AS /
walked up to try to get shot with
out hitting one of the pack, the lion
took no more notice of the dogs, but
kept his eyes fixed on me. | never
saw lion look nastier, but suppose
his broken shoulder had sickened him,
and I shot him without difficulty. The
Midgan, after calling his dogs, had
run on after us, and had come on the
wounded lion. We skinned this beast,
and the little Midgan rather amused
us, as he got SO very much annoyed
because his dogs would not eat some
great chunks of raw lion-fesh he cut
off and offered them. We were on
our way to skin the other lion when
we met Hassan looking rather sorry
for himself He said that the lioness
had trotted quite quietly at first, and
he had brought her round in a circle
towards the place where he had left
us, riding alongside of her, and shout
ing to let us know where he was.
Unluckily she crossed the track of
the wounded lion, and after smelling
at the blood she became perfectly I'M
manageable, making off at a gallop
and charging him whenever he got
in front to try to turn her. At last
she had gone into the thick bush on
some hills, where he had lost her.
When we had skinned the other lion
we made a cast to try to pick up the
fourth, but could make nothing of
him-I never got this lion, although

At last / did get a bullet into his
flank He at once turned, and, growl-
ing fiercely, came bounding a few
yards towards US, as if trying to make
up his mind to charge. Whether he
would have done SO or not do not
know, as my second barrel caught him
on the point of the shoulder, bringing
him on to his nose, and before he
could recover himself put in another
bullet from my second rife and fin
ished him.
Il is more than likely he would not
have charged, as l have several times
seen a lion make this kind of demon
stration when slightly hit, more,
think, to try to brighten his assailant
than anything else. A lion that really
means charging up comes quite silent
ly, galloping very fast along the
ground like dog.

the hatchery work during the year
the output of fish and eggs in 1908 was
greater than ever before in the history
of the national bureau, reaching a to-

2,413,809,225 were young fish distrib-
uted for the stocking and restocking
of public and private waters, and the
remaining 457,647055 were eggs de-

Shooting Lions with Poisoned
Arrows.

Lions are occasionally killed by
Midgans, but the poison on the arrows
cannot be very strong, as frequently,
after being sick two or three times,
the lion seems to recover and get
away. Captain Swayne gives an ac-
count of the way in which these Mid
gans hunt the oryX with their dogs.
But to get on with my story. The
little Midgan carried a bow nearly as
long as himself, and was followed by
about a dozen small native dogs with
curly sterns and prick ears. These
little ours were wonderfully broken.
The man trotted off in front of us,
and when he got near the place where
he had seen the lions he simply put
out his hand and all the dogs lay
down in a bunch and never attempted
to follow on after us. Then we stalked
carefully towards big thorn tree ris-
ing above the bush. This was where
the lions were said to be- The bush
was very open, and when we came in
sight of the tree the lions were just
decamping. There were four of them,
not five-an old lioness and three
lions, perhaps not quite full grown,
and with very little name Hassan
had followed close behind on his pony,
so l shouted to him to try and keep
his eye on the lioness, and ran on my
self with Abdulla after one of the
lions. This one did not seem much
inclined to run, and after a short
burst I managed to get bullet into
him somewhere just as he disappeared
into some thick bushes.
At that moment we caught sight of
another lion trotting along parallel to
us about 200 yards off. The wounded
one was keeping up continuous low
growing in the bushes, so, thinking
he would not get far away, we ran to
cut off the other. He turned off when
he caught sight of us, and we had a
long, stern chase after him, as re-
suit of which I was so blown | could
not hit him, although he was lobbing
along not more than 100 yards ahead.

angry. She had run into some long
grass, and had charged out towards
his men, when they were going up to
fever at the time, and although he
had two or three shots, he was so
shaky he could not hit her, and at
last felt so ill he had to give her up.
His shikari told me the lioness was
very much beat from being badgered
about in the sun and he was sure we
could find her. | owed her one for
frightening Hassan, so we started at
once, Hassan not coming, but sending
a relation of his on the same pony.
After short ride we got to the place
and found the tracks going into a
long strip of high feathery grass. We
cast all around and could find no
tracks coming out, so decided to burn
the patch. 1t was about 200 yards
long and perhaps so broad. I could
not command the whole of it, so
told the men to light it at the top
and along one side, and Abdulla and
took up our station halfway down
the other side, about 80 yards out
from the edge. At the bottom end
put the warrior on the pony to see
if the lioness broke that way. AL
most directly the grass was lit big
spotted hyena Numbered out and came
within a few yards of us, but the
great part of the patch was burnt be-
fore there was any sign of the lioness.
Then I caught sight of her Sinking
along through the thin grass at the
edge of the strip going towards the
bottom end. She did not see us, as
we were rather behind her and stand
ing quite still.

A Wounded Lion at BaV.

While this was going on we could
hear Hassan shouting in the distance,
so now we ran off towards the sound.
When we started the shouts seemed
to be almost stationary, but as we ran
they got further and further off till
at last we could hear nothing. We
then turned to go back for the wound
ed lion. AS we got near the place
where we had left him, we could hear
tremendous row going on, men
shouting, dogs barking, and the unmis-
taxable grunts of an angry lion. Run
ming up, we found the lion, with his
shoulder broken, standing in bush
surrounded at respectful distance
by the little dogs. They kept up an
incessant yapping, and every now and
then the lion would make drive at
