do), to white heat, then apply to it a
roll Of sulphur. The iron will imme-
diately melt and run into drops. This
experiment is best performed over a
wash bash Of water, allowing the
melted iron Greatly sulphide of iron),

examination. If a locomotive should
pass within this limit of distance l am
absolutely certain that it would be at
tackled by an old panther.
He is very dainty in regard to his
food, cares only for warn and bleed
ing flesh and refuses to touch a crea-
ture found dead. Only young, very
feeble ones do it, who lack strength
and cunning to attack big game. An
adult beast almost eve eats the rem
nants of his victim. He often keeps
them, hoping they will be good next
day, but, finding the meat cold, turns
away without touching it. Some
times he makes use Of these frag-
ments rs Il sort Of bait.
II the panther Is hunting and wishes
to take a victim by surprise he crawls
like a serpent. His agility and cum
ming render him formidable. After
satisfying his appetite he continues
taking life for pleasure, and it has
often been observed that he was un-
able to eat a tenth part Of the do
nestle animals he killed. 1t is impos-
SlDle TO form a just idea or the loss he
causes to the tribes whose territory
he exploits.
At the sight of dead bodies he
ouses to fresher animation and ardor.
He has often been seen after having
brought down a hunter and laid open
his skull to leave him and then to re
turn and lay open the chest Of the
body lying dead on the ground. One

Farmers Will Save Money.
FIRST DAY,

WALLA WALLA, July 1S.-Farmers
of the wheat growing section of the in-
land empire expect 10 save approx
mately half q million dollars on this
seasons wheat crop through action
taken yesterday at meetings OF the
several local unions of the Farmers

allow grain buyers to deduct a pound
on every sack OF wheat purchased as
has been done heretofore. On the ba'

sufficiently powerful to completely de-
stroy the face and usually cause death.
When he is wounded he SEES both
claws and teeth and falls upon man
with a fury that Is terrible. The pam
Their stretches himself against the tree
trunks to sharpen his claws.
A venturesome Frenchman, NJ. Bour-
bowel, has written at length Of his
experiences in panther hunting. He
states that the leopards teach their
young how best to kill their prey by a
system Of lessons, Just as a hawk
teaches its young to fly.
He says: From birth to the age Of
ten months or a year, the time when
the mother abandons them, the kittens
live only upon animals that have been
captured by their mother. They have
never yet made an attack themselves,
but have received valuable lessons,
having looked on at more than one
scene Of carnage. I have seen little
panthers Of the size Of a dog watching
calmly and observing closely while
their mother strangled an antelope"
When the panther has reached the
age Of eight or ten years he has
reached his full size and strength, and
then the hunter must approach him
most gingerly. No longer content with
catching the wild boar, he attacks
cows, horses. oxen and camels. No
creature resist him. Unless hunt
ed he seldom attacks a man beyond
the range of his leap. But within that
limit he falls upon every moving thing
