BUILD TIGER PROOF HOUSES
Malay Natives Perch Their Houses
High Up in Trees to Escape
Beasts.

The ordinary Malay house is built on
posts from five to seven feet high;
but one which I came across was
perched high up in tree. It was
the home Of man, his wife and fam
lily, and they informed me that it was
placed in this unusual situation so as
to be out of the way of the numerous
tigers which then infested the neigh
borhood.
AS tigers have been known to jump
Is feet in vertical height somewhere
above 20 feet is considered to be the
limit Of safety. The Malayan house
is frail and flimsy structure of sticks
tied together with rattan matched with
palm leaves and walled with plated
bamboo, or, as in this case, with the
bark Of a tree.
1t IS therefore an easy matter for a
tiger with its great strength to break
into a house and attack the inhabiu-
ants. Many instances of this have
been recorded in Malaga. In one well
known case a whole family were kill
ed except one man, who climbed up
into the roof, and thus escaping the
notice Of the tiger, was a Mortified OBJ
server Of the cruel mauIing and ulti-
mate slaughter and devouring Of his
relatiyes.-Strand.

WHALE BOAT CATCHES SHARK
Marine Monster, Weighing Approx
mately Eight Tons, Harpooned
Off Vancouver Coast.

While securing the ocean for whales
one of the little steamers working
from the Kyuquot station landed a
thirty foot shark.
The wolf of the sea" is claimed to
be one Of the largest ever seen in
northern waters and weighed approx
mately eight tons.
The whaling steamer had been
searching Vainly for whales for sew
eral days and the lookout had grown
tired Of scanning the surface of the
ocean. He was suddenly aroused to
action by observing the dorsaI fin of
a monster shark cutting the water
about 200 yards on the port bow. AS
the big sharks yield considerable oil,
the ships officers decided to try for
this one in view of the lack of whales.
Running to within thirty yards Of
the shark with the boat, the gunner
fired the harpoon from the gun and
struck the monster at the first shot.
After a terrific fight to hold the strug-
CLING sea animal it was hauled aboard
and cut up, the steamer resuming her
search for the larger mammals.
Officers Of the Tees declare that the
shark was the largest they had ever
seen. 1t was Of the species common
to the Pacific coast, but not quite so
far north.-Vancouver Sun.

WHEN IRVING PLAYED ROMEO
Silence, Light and Actors, the Three

playing Romeo in London. There We're

which all the players in London were

any inherent luminosity, and conse-

Parents would not allow this, as they

she should stay at home and help about

able, and stayed out several nights,
whereupon her parents brought her
into court as incorrigibIe. The proba-

German Musicians Poorly Paid.

The Germans like music, but they
do not want to pay for it. What they
gladly pay for is food and drink, with
free music on the side. When a high
class musician plays at a variety show
or in a night cafe, he is looked down
on; yet these are the only places where
an orchestral player can earn a decent
living. Some startling figures have
been printed in Der Turner which
shows that it is practically impossible
for German orchestral musician to
marry and bring up a family. For a
family Of four the minimum expenses,
apart from food, are $3.50 a year. The
income of an orchestral player is $3.50
a year; which leaves less than 25 cents
a day for food Americans pay mu-
sicians ten times as much as the Ger
mans do; but we, to be sure, are mere
barbarians in the eyes of the Germans.

The MarseiIIaise.

There is a certain irony in the fact
that the town which produced the
'Marseillaise" is now German terri
tory. The song dates from April "a,
1892, when Rouget de Lisle, then quar-
tered at Strasburg as captain of en-
gineers, composed it in response to the
mayor Of Strasburg's request for a
patriotic song.
At Strasburg the song was printed
under the title, Chant de Guerre
pour pArmee du Rhine" 1t owes it's
present title to the volunteers from
Marseilles, who sang it as they march
ed on Paris.

SEVERAL BANDS TO AFFORD MUSIC

Unusually meritorious amusement
features and spectacular attractions
will be offered at the state fair which
will be held in Milwaukee September
10 to Ia.
Between the periods devoted to
viewing regular exhibits at fair each
day are hours during which the pa
irons must seek rest and recreation.
Recognizing that fact the manage
ment has provided special entertain
ment programs for each day, besides
novelty exhibitions and music.
Beachey VIII Fly.
Lincoln Beachey, the bird man"
who made himself popular at the
1911 fair, will be the principal at
traction. With his Curtiss aeroplane
he will make three flights each day.
His aerial exhibitions will be varied
as he performs practically every feat
known to the science of air nayiga-
ton. He will volplane and execute
spirals, dips. and all the other thrill
ing stunts which the modern airship
has made possible. When atmospheric
conditions permit he will try to estab
lish new altitude record. He sailed
aloft more than 5000 feet several
times last year, but at no time at
tempted to establish a new record.

in the United States will enter.
The horse races are expected to
excel those of any former fair. The
purses for fifteen events aggregate
$4,000. Superintendent A. w.
Prehn, Wausau, says there is reason
to believe the number of horses en-
tered will be nearly double that of
1911, and that better race animals
have been booked this year than ever
before. The horse and motorcycle
contests will provide entertainment
for the race enthusiast every day.
Another unique feature will be the
dog show under the auspices of the
American Kennel club. 1t is expected
that about 500 entries, representing
nearly half hundred standard
breeds, will be exhibited.

ANIMALS EYES ARE MIRRORS
Reflected Light Is What Causes Them
to Glow in Dark, Not Occult
Agencies.

It is well known that the eyes Of ami
mails glow like Goals in the dark. The
reason for this is commonly believed
to be because there is phosphorescent
matter In the eyeballs. There are
many, too, who attribute 1t to some
weird occult agencies.
But 1t is all perfectly natural. The
light does not come directly from the
eyes of the animals, but indirectly.

vUoster thoroughbred horses. Eacn
day they will participate in a four
mile relay race, each being required
to change horses at the end of each
mile. The troupe also will provide
aces, Roman and tandem styles.
George Holland and Rose DockriII,
using four horses, each day will pre-
sent an act similar to the best seen
in high class circuses.
Wincherman's Bears, an animal
troupe comprised of four polar bears,
a brown bear and pony, will partici-
pate in a novel act each day before
the grandstand. This is an original
exhibition. The animals perform
most difficult stunts, singly and in
groups, and practically without HUI
man direction. The fearlessness with
which the little pony works with the
big, dangerous bruins is remarkable.
An especially adapted acrobatic
act has been secured. Comedy is an
important feature. The Leffel Trio
will perform the hayrack "rube" act,
difficult horizontal bar stunts and
comical monkey limitations on bars
and high rods.
The usual carnival will not be in
evidence this year. The management
has secured a new attraction for that
type of entertainment. Nat Reiss'
stadium and aerodrome is a strictly
modern feature for state fairs. 1t
includes twenty-four different shows
and novelty attractions.

will be given each afternoon and
evening in the livestock amphithea-

concerts by various of the better

take place each afternoon.
With the entertainment specialties
mentioned the conclusion is positive
that no patron of this years state
fair will fail to find much to occupy
mis- interested attention.
