the night | was reused by tho whine
of our dogs, and looking up in the
face of the pale moon saw two deer go
bounding past, silhouetted like grace
full phantoms across the silvered sky.
They swept across the lunar disc and
melted into blackness over the dark
horizon.
No sound followed them, and hav-
ing appeased the fretful hounds. we
returned to sleep. In the morning
up the trail there were his tracks.

and knowing there there were more deer

and many with him. Once We saw
him across a canyon. He appeared as
a tawny, slow-moving body az large
as a deer, but low to the earth and
trailing a listless tail. while his head
slowly swung from side TO side. He
seemed to be looking for something

Our lion was young male. six feet
eight inches from tip TO tip and
weighing a little over one hundred
and twenty pounds. Later as we
skinned him, we found his paws full
of porcupine quills. speaking loudly
of his recent experience
He was as easy to kill as a deer.
We packed him back to camp and
added his photograph to our rogues'

For many years. off and oR. We
have hunted lions. but, said TO say, We
have done more hunting than finding.
They are very wary creatures. Our
camps have been robbed by lions, our
horses killed by them. cattle and
sheep ruthlessly murdered: lion
tracks have been all about. and yet
unless trapped or treed by dogs we
have never met.
Camping at the base of Pico Blanco,
in Monterey county, several years
ago, a lion was seen to bound across
the road and follow small band of
deer. At this very spot few seasons
before one ieaped upon an old marc
with foal and broke her neck as she
crashed through the fence aud roll
ed down the hill. Three years later
I rode the young horse. AS We pass
ed the tree from which il is thought
the lion sprang, where the broken
fence was still unmended, my colt
jumped and reared: the memory of
his fright was still vivid in his mind
Up the trail q half mile beyond we
saw other fresh lion tracks. At night
we camped on tho ridge with our
dogs in hope that our feline friend
would come again.

in one direction, another goat would
be killed behind him. 1t seemed i'm
dogs were useless.
At 3 o'clock next morning we walked,
ate a meager breakfast. and hit the
trail up the mountain. We knew the
general range of our cougar. 1t is
necessary in all this tracking to get
in the field while dew is on the ground
and before the sun dissipates II, also
before the goats obliterate the tracks.
Arrived at the crest OF the ridge,
We struck a well defined goat trail.
and soon the fresh tracks of lion
we're discovered. Our dogs took up
the scent at once and We began to
travel at rapid pace.
Here again one must have a good
pair of legs. II automobiles, eleva-
tors and general laziness have not
ruined your powers of locomotion you
may follow the dogs, otherwise you
would best stay at home.
AT first we walk. then we trot. and
when with a leap the hounds start in

rocks and dizzy cliffs. we follow at
a breakneck pace. don't know
where our breath comes from in
these trials. We just have to run;
in fact we have planned to run on
our, hands when our legs play out.
With. pounding hearts we surge
ahead.
Keep the dogs within hearing. It
can't last long
Bot this time we come to a sudden
halt on a rocky slide. We've lost the
scent. The dogs circle and backtrack
and work with feverish haste. The
sun has risen, and UP the mountain
side comes a band of goats led by a
single shepherd dog. No man in
sight. We shout to the dog to steer
his rabble away, but on they come
and obiiterate our trail with a thou

The sun then comes out and our day

turn to camp.
That evening we asked the rancher
to lock his goats in the corral till
noon.
NEXT morning we rose again in
time to see the morning star gilt
ter with undimmed glory. Up the
trail we mounted the dogs eager for
the chase. An old owl in a hollow
tree asked us again and again who
we were. All else was silent in the
woods.
Saving our strength, we arrived
quietly on the upper ridges and
waited for the dawn. We could
smell the faint incense of our camp
fire way down below US in the can
yon. The morning breeze was just
beginning to breathe in the trees.
The birds awoke with little whispered
condolences. small twitterings and
chirps. A faint lavender tint melted
the stars in the eastern sky. Shadows
crept beneath the trees and we knew
it was time to start.
Just as the light defined the mar
gins of the trail we picked up in the
grayness the track Of lion. Strange
to say, the dogs had not smelled il,

committee by 40 per cent; students
warned. by 90 per cent; students
found guilty of drunkenness. by 10
per cent, and students expelled for
duct, 80 per cent.
The report enumerates a new
schedule of fines calculating to raise

tuition, and recommends hereafter
that every student guilty of striking
or kicking a professor be brought be-

A Radio Compass.
Copyright. 1sci.)

VESSELS entering the harbor of
New York. even in the thickest
weather, may find their way by means
OF the marvellous new radio compass
A series OF tests have recently been
the new device, no matter how foggy
it may be. So successful is the com
pass that it will be installed at the
entrances of other ilarbors.
The principle is very simple. Three
wireless sending stations have been
installed near the entrance TO the
harbor One OF these is on the New
Jersey coast at Seagirt. another on
the Ambrose channel lightship at the
entrance to the harbor, and a third
on the Fire Island lightship, Off the
coast OF Long Island. In bad weather
signals are sent out from these three
stations at the same time. Ships car
rying the radio compass are guided
by these signals with absolute accu-
racy. The compass consists OF a.
frame around which are wound wires
which pick up the radio signals. The.
frame is mounted on a pivot on top of
the pilot house directly over the COM
pass. The officer of the incoming
boat, with a telephone receiver at his,
ear connected with this frame, can
tell the direction from which comes
the signal and mark it on the COM
pass. He does the same with all three
stations. Now by drawing these three
lines it is easy to find his own posi-
tion in the darkest night or thickest
fog.
In the tests ships equipped with
the radio compass have approached
New York harbor. so to speak. blind
folded. The captain has steered his
ship entirely by the radio signals.
These have proved so accurate that
after steering q course 4or thirty
miles or more he has come within
few feet Of the lightshtp at the en-

pare a paper on the nicomachean

close of the recitation, the chairman
announced that the debate which
had been announced for the occasion
on the topic, Are Mathematical
Judgments Synthetically Priori,"

that the topic involved more prepa-
