BUFFALO WAGES GAME FIGHT
Wounded Animal Gives Battle Royal to
Huntsmen When He Is Poked
In the Eye.

An exciting story is told Of party
who went buffalo shooting in Zuzuland
recently. During the course of the
holiday buffalo was shot early one
morning. The party saw the animal
drop, and as 1t did not move, decided
to deal with 1t later in the day. Re-
turning In the afternoon they saw the
buffalo from a distance, apparently In
the same position as they left 1t. One
Of the hunters went out to the buffalo,
and on reaching 1t poked stick in its
eye. This had the effect Of restoring
animation in the animal, which was
only badly wounded, and warm time
thereupon ensued for the gentleman in
question.
The buffalo jumped up and tackled
the hunter, who hung round the neck
Of the buffalo in the hope of firing 1t
out. When the other members of the
party arrived the buffalo and his foe
were whirling round at such rate,
that it was impossible to get q shot in
without endangering the life Of the lat
ter. The buffalo tried to stamp the
man to the ground with his forefeet,
and at last lifted him with a terrible
toss of its horns into thorn-tree near
by. This gave the other men the
chance Of shot, and the buffalos
career finally terminated.

WRITTEN BEFORE THE WAR
Impressive Fact in Nature Is Stiffness
and Quiet on Earth, Says observa-
tory Director E. L. Larkin.

One Of the most impressive facts in
nature is the stiffness and quiet here
on earth, writes Edgar Luclen Larkin,
director of Mount Lowe observatory.
Ancient roarlngs thunderings of pent-
up potential of electricity, the terrific
energy Of heat, the exploding surfaces
Of millions of suns so many times
larger and energetic than our sun,
itself 100000 times larger than the
earth, had to be hushed down into
stiffness, quietude and silence to make
ready for that amazing event, the ere
alton of life on worlds, revolving
around genial suns giving out llfe-sus-
tanning light and tempered heat.
None can imagine this perfect bal
ance Of titanic forces, for, with slight
Increase or decrease Of the suns radi-
ant energy, all life on earth would van
ish. How accurate the adjustment Of
mighty powers, that living things,
where imminent death always turks,
could even appear and then survive.
The mere item of the careful ADJUST
ment Of the heat energy output Of
the sun for reception and use Of the
most delicate organisms on land and
in the sea, this even balance is beyond
Imagination, and one Of the marvels
Of the careers Of the earth and man.
With the creation of life on earth,
Mind Supreme appears, so far as man
is able to see, rested and retired.
There is no trace of the action Of the
Original Mind now on earth. The COB
laws of nature, their force, is all that
can be detected in action now.

Press Ganu at Church.

The cursory examinations which
many recruits allege they received in
the earlier days Of the war were far
greater tests of endurance and STAN
ina than the recruit of 80 years ago
was wont to receive. In those days,
If man could count all his limbs and
had sufficient teeth to enable him to
crunch the hard army biscuits. and salt
beef, or bite off the end of a cartridge
before putting 1t into his old Brown
Bess, he was certain Of being accepted.
In earlier times, however, there was
no pretense at medical examination at
all. When Queen Elizabeth resolved
to assist in raising the siege Of Calais
in 1896, the lord mayor and aldermen
IF London received instructions to
raise thousand men for this service,
and on Easter Sunday they proceeded
to several churches with their con-
stables. fastened the doors, and select
ed from the congregation the number
Of men required. Without any medical
examination they were equipped and
sent to DOver.-Tlt-Blts.

1896:

Its brow blooming with the wreath of

Keep II Famous.

Prepared BY, the. baltimore County Non
One of the arguments which the
advocates of annexation find most
potent with the people of the counties
is that they want to better the stand
ing Of Baltimore among the leading
cities OF the country. This appeals to
all the people of the State, because Of
their natural feeling Of pride in Mary
land. A study of the census figures by
the stay-at-homes and a little travel
by rolling stones dispels the pretty
dream that the Monumental City,
pleasant place as It is to live in, can
ever outstrip such cities as Cleveland
st. Louis and Chicago, or hold it's own
In the race with the manufacturing
centres of the Middle West.
Baltimore will ever stand first in the
estimation of the world as the city Of
homes, the home of beautiful women
and gallant and courteous men, the
centre Of conservatism in finance, the
chief port of entry Of the terrapin, the
oyster the crab and the canvas-baok
duck and various other things which
make life worth living and the mere
vulgar struggle for wealth and position

Baltimore Seventh In 1910.
According to the Census of 1910, Bal
timore stood seventh In the list OF
American cities, those ahead of her
being New York, Chicago, Philadel.
phia, St Louis, Boston and Cleveland.
As all of these showed from twice to
I've times the percentage of gain
shown by Baltimore In the decade
l90O-191O, and are still growing rapid.

Baltimore in the list, showed a de-
cennial increase of 46.9 per cent, while
that of Baltimore was or. If Balti,
more were to annex the whole of Bal.
timore and Anne Arundel counties,
Cleveland probably would still be
ahead Of her in 1920, for Cleveland
also has suburbs to annex.
Five other Cities In Race.
There are five cities in the race with
Baltimore to hold seventh place or bet.
ter in the Census of 1920. They are
Pittsburgh, Detroit, Buffalo, San Fran
cisco-Oakland and Los Angeles. The
United States Census Bureau has pre-
pared table showing the population
Of cities Of 100000 inhabitants or more
In 1910, with the population of their
suburbs, not under the city govern
ment but Of a strictly urban character,
and the percentage of growth 1900.
1910. These suburbs are in each case
combined with the city and called the
Metropolitan District. Here are the
figures:

VIII Lead Buffalo.

1t will be seen that annexation pre-
sents no possible hope for Baltimore to
either better her standing or hold her
own. At the rate of increase shown,
all the above metropolitan districts
will pass Baltimore by 1920, except
Buffalo. Detroit Is even now claiming
100000 population. All OF these cities
are growing rapidly and there is no
reason to think the percentage OF in.

The opponents of annexation claim
that the Idea of attracting business
enterprises by show of population

sites, they say, are influenced by trans.
portation facilities, ease Of access to
raw materials and favorable laws and
municipal regulations, including as
sessment and taxation. Because of the
advantages presented by them on these
lines, the suburban sections have, they
claim, been godsend to Baltimore
City.
