OF ALL WILD BULLS
Gaur, Native Of Indo-china, Acknowl.
edged Chief Of His Kind for
Many Reasons.

The gaur is often wrongly termed
bison. The name is not correct; the
bison is the hos bonassus Of Lithuania
and the Caucasus. The gaur, found in
Indo-China, is certainly the finest Of all
the wild bulls; he overawes all oppon-
ents by his courage, audacity and great
strength.
He is huge beast, and sometimes
measures six feet to the root of the
tail He is distinguished from all 9TH
or wild cattle by the prominent hump
between the two horns. The latter are
massive, fiat at the base, and ringed,
and they describe very wide curve
from the root upward.
The coat is of an olive brown tint,
shading in black, with very short, fine
hair.
The gaur is found both in the for
est and on the mountains, for, In spite
Of his great size, he is extremely ag-
lie, SO that he can run up the noun
tain slopes and climb the rocks with
ease.
Like the elephant, he feeds on grass
and plants, and when he cannot get
these he falls back on bamboo shoots
and the buds and branches Of trees.
The gaurs feed until about nine
clock in the morning: then they
return to the bamboo forests and clear
ings to sleep, Later in the afternoon
they come out to Craze and drink.
They are not timid, and several shots
can be fired among herd before they
become alarmed. Duke of Montpelier,
in Wide World Magazine.

Minister Defends X-Ray Gowns

RoCKnAND, ME-, Sept. 27.-Rev.
Louis A. Walker minister of the First
Unitarian Church of Rockland, is
hailed as the champion OF the pre-
vailing style of dress by the women
Notwithstanding threats of arrest by
police in othar cities against wearers
of the X-ray gown and the slit skirt,
the Rockland minister says:
ITO brand the wearers of these
fantastic gowns as vulgar is an in
suit to a large portion of American
womanhood. The immortality is with
those who see the suggestive rather
than with those. who wear novel gar
ments."
Mr.. Walker Is sincere in his own
suggestion of bdinders for the men
who ogle women in modern garb. He
declares the proper censor of styles
would be "a prim and ancient maiden
with ringlets."

Thousands Of persons saw the test.
This was the first attempt made
to operate the locks on the Canal
and the result was highly pleasing TO
Colonel Goethals, chairman Of the
Canal Commission.
The upper lock filled in the fore
noon and in the afternoon the water
was admitted to the middle and lower
locks. but 1t was not until 4:45 D. m.
that the water in the lower lock had
reached the level Of that in the sea
chanel outside.
At that hour the sea gate was
swung and a moment later the tug
which had been in readiness all day
in the approach channel. turned It's
head toward the entrance.
As the vessel passed inside the
lower lock chamber mighty cheer
went up from the assembled thou
sands that lined the lock walls, the
tugs whistle was blowing and all the
whistles in the neighborhood joined
