THE TANNING OF LEANDER

AS evidencing the ingenuity exercised
bv animal trainers and attendants in
subduing intractable beasts, there may
be cited the method employed in a
western zoo by man who was former
ly a Snowman.
The geological institution had pur-
chased a magnificent lion named Lean
der. He was obtained at low price
from a circus because of his vicious
disposition. he having a record of two
men killed while with the circus.
At first the eX-showman would put
his foot or his hands into Leander's s
cage, but from the way the lion would
leap at him he knew that to put him
self entirely in its power would be sui
eide. Nothing he could do to establish
a friendly relationship between himself
and the lion had any favorable result.
Some originality, therefore, being
called for the attendant exercised his
inventive genius by taking some old
clothes, stuffing them with rags, and
throwing them into the cage. The lion
in a jiffy tore the old clothes to pieces,
thinking that the dummy was human
being.
Next day and the next day and the
next the eX-showman continued to
throw into the lions cage stuffed
figures, and the lion continued to de-
stroy them. But the time came when
the animal ceased to put any heart"
into his work, and in the end it gave
IN altogether these attacks upon the
dummies; it would simply play with
them, or else ignore them entirely.
Now was the ex-showman's time. He
opened the cage one morning, walked
in boldly and slapped the lion familiar
ly on the back. 1t gave him a friendly
glance and purred, taking him for an
other dummy not worth bothering
about. Thus Leander lived seven years
with the ex-showman and became as
gentle as a kitten.-Harpers Weekly.

PRINCE REGENT WINS A BET

One of the best stories in connection
with the history of the kings speech,
delivered at the opening of each fresh
session Of parliament, says Every
body's, is told of George w. when
prince regent.
The prince, it is we'll known, took MS
responsibilities lightly, and on one oco
casion is said to have bet Sheridan 100
guineas that either owing to the mag
netism of his personality or the fiutter
which the occupants OF the lorus
chamber were in, so little attention
was really paid to the verbal char
acter of the speech he was delivering
that he could make any Interpolation
he liked without it being detected
The bet was taken and the prince
regent agreed to introduce the words
"Baa, baa, black sheep" in the middle
of the speech. .,., >,
"If anybody smiles or looks startleu'
he said, "I lose my bet"
This exploit actually came off, and
at the close of a weighty allusion, com
nosed by Lord Liverpool, to Wellesley's
difficulties in Spain, the regent cleared
his throat, said "Baa, baa, black
sheen" hurriedly, and went on, with
out apparently exciting any remark.
sheridan related the royal audacity
to Canning.
eft is perfectly amazing to me-" he
said, "that no notice was taken. DIDN'T
YOU hear him distinctly say 'Baa, baa'
black sheep?
81 did" rejoined Canning, "but as
his royal highness looked you full in
the face at the time, 1 took it as
personal allusion, and my delicacy
forbade me to think more about it."

OIL IN PIPES is COMING
OVER THE TEHACHAPI

The Southern Pacific Railroad com
pany announces the construction of
a ten-inch pipe line from Bakersfield
through the Tehachapi mountains to
Mojave, the cost of which will be in the
neiahborhood of $2.OOO,O0O. There will
he a large number of tunnels covering
the most rugged portions of the noun
tains. and the succession of pumping
stations will force the oil from the
valley through to the desert towns
doing away with the long haul by tank
cars over the steep mountain grades.
Consulting Engineer e. Z. Adams,
who has made preliminary survey of
the line. has made his report and based
upon that the plans of the railroad are
announced Pumping stations VIII be
REQUIRED every ten miles, and the cost
Of construction will be in the neiShbor-
hood of $4,000 q mile.

CALIFORNIA IS RICH
IN MINERAL DEPOSITS

FortV-seven commercial minerals are
mined in California and while gold mas
been mined for more than half a cen
tury it is stated by experts that the
best of California's gold mines have not
yet been found. New mines are beng
developed in many districts formerly
thought to be devoid of gold, and many
old mines which were abandoned years
ago because they were thought to be
worked out have been reopened and
found to be great producers.
Large bodies of copper are found in
all the northern counties of the state,
and new discoveries are being made
nearly every month. Coal is being
mined in many parts of the state. The
largest body of iron ore in the world
lies in California mountains, this ore
body having never been worked or
claimed until very recently.
The petroleum beds of California are
the largest in the world with the ex-
ception Of those at Baku, Russia, and
new fields are being found in parts or
the state formerly thought to be de-
void of oil This petroleum is furn-
ishing cheap fuel for manufacturing,
and many factories have started up
since the development of the oil fields.
Large bodies of cements and clays
are found and these are being devel-
oped. There is good opening for new
potteries in California, for the clays
are especially adapted to this work
Magnesite and boraX are found in large
beds and are being mined in large
quantities.
Tourmaline and kunzite, two new
gems found only in California, are
recent discoveries, and in many parts
of the state rare gems are to be found.
The discovery has instituted a new in
dustry, and gem stone cutters are find
ing occupation in several counties.
Practical miners, either in precious
metals or in non-metallic substances,
will find much opportunity in Califor-
MIA to develop new discoveries, and to
work on those already developed.

WHERE KNOWLEDGE WAS BLISS

A certain professor Of histology VINO
delivers lectures in one of the eastern
colleges, says Harper's Weekly is not
averse to a quiet bit of diversion on
the side, as instance his wife's dis
covery
"See here. Robert" said she to the
doctor as she fumbled in his pockets
after his late arrival home, "what are
all these red, white and blue disks L
find here in your pocket?"
"Eh? hy-tose-are-that is
I use-chi-I mean disks-to illus
trate nv lectures on the blood. You
see, the white ones represent the white
corpusces of the blood"
and pray, what do the blue ones
dEh? The blus<ones? Oh!-yes-
m-why-er-certafnl repre-
sent the corpuscles of the venous
blood"
Well, maybe, she believed him, and
maybe-well. he quit playing poker
at any rate.

VAST SUMS INVESTED
IN OIL PROPERTIES

The amount of money invested in
oil properties of the state exclusive OF
land is roughly estimated at $11S,OOO
900, apportioned as follows:
Four thousand two hundred wells,
S42 600, 600: 21O0 miles of pipe lines, $l2
600 600; thirty-five tank steamers. $l2,-
25O 900; thirty-five refineries, $4,000, 600;
5000 tank cars, S6,OOOO0O; 20,0OO,0O0 bar
rels of oil in storage, $10O00,000; field
equipment, pumping machinery etc.
$12.250, 600,
The value of the land and the money
sunk in wells that never paid would
bring the total to a still more stupen-
dous figure When one begins to fig
ure the interest on the money invested
in oil the dividends do not seem so fai
out of proportion.

THE CAPACITY OF THE EARTH

1t has been estimated that the fertile
lands of the globe amount to $4,000. 600
square miles, the steppes to $4,000, OoO
and the deserts to 1000, 000 Fixing 2O7
persons to the square mile for fertile
lands, ten for steppes and one for
deserts, as the greatest population that
the earth could properly nourish, the
conclusion has been arrived at that
when the number of inhabitants reachs
about GO00, 600. 900 our planet will be
peopled to it's full capacity. At present
it contains a little more than one
quarter Of that number If the rate
Of increase shown by recent censuses
should be uniformly maintained, it is
thought that the globe would be fully
peopled about the year 2072.-Harper'

SANTA EE CUTS OIL RATE

SAN BERNARINO, April 24.-The
Santa Fe has made still further cut
in the oil rate from the Olinda, Los
Nietos and Los Angeles fields. 1t was
announced today that the new rate
was so cents per ton. Several weeks
ago the cut of from $1.70 to 95 cents
was announced by the Santa Fe. A
few days ago the Southern Pacific cut
from 50 to 95 cents. and today comes
the further deduction.

LAkEvIEw STILL GUSHING

Bakersfield Echo: Reports from the
Lakeview gusher yesterday were that
the flow is still increasing. The stream
of oil flowing from the well to the
reservoirs last week was two feet wide
and six inches deep. Yesterday the
oil was flowing half an inch deeper
in the trench
Probably this means an increase of
an eighth of an inch in the flow. The
column of oil is not rising so high
above the ground, but the great gusher
is certainly not losing it's grip.

COTTON OIL MILL
IN full BLAST
Wesson People Welcome Opening of
the Big PIant-Other Interesting
News Notes.

Wesson, Miss, Sept. 23.-Yesterday
energy was added to Wesson when the
button was pressed that set in opera
ton the Wesson Cotton Oil Mill for
another SEASON For the present the
plant WIZ be operated only in the day
time, but it is expected that it will
soon become necessary to operate it
at night also, as strong effort has
been made during the past few months
to induce the farmers to bring their
seed here and a very large quantity
has already been received and others
will be received daily. While seeo
has already reached the price of $50
per ton. 1t is expected that the price
will go even higher. AS a general
average now the farmers here are re-
ceiving the handsome sum of $50 per
bale for their cotton and seed. How
ever, the crop will all be harvested
and sold in this section within the
next few weeks The Wesson cotton
warehouse is filled with cotton now,
and in few more days it will be
crowded for room and may have to
enlarge its quarters.
Rev. D. P. Hardin, pastor of the
South Wesson Methodist church has
just completed his last meeting for
the summer at Hebron, Lawrence
county, where the farmers are noted
for having money put away in their
Socks" and never know anything
about hard times, as in addition to
their gold they never buy much OF
anything to eat-they raise it. Over
thirty accessions was the result of
Rev. Hardin's work there. He will
devote his entire time the balance of
the year here with his own flock until
conference meets in December The
hope is generally expressed here by all
that the conference will return him
