Tricky Lion*.
Rome of the most dangerous tricks of
animals are those of simulating kind-
ness. Charles Montague in “Tales of
a Nomad" says that hyenas often fol-
low Hons and finish a careass the mo-
ment the lions have left it Sometimes,
however, the hyenas are too eager and
steal bits of meat while the lions are
still at their meal.
“I have been told that the lion rids
himself of the nuisance In the follow-
ing way: He throws a piece of meat
aside. When the lion is looking the
other way the hyena dodges in and
rushes off with the meat. Presently
the lion throws another piece of meat,
this time a little nearer. The hyena
takes that also. At last the lion throws
4 piece very near Indeed. The hyena,
having become reckless, makes a dash
at this also, but the lion wheels round
and lays him low with a pat of his
paw and a growl of annoyance."

The first three sheriffs et ElMs coun-

that the first meeting of the board of

Peru’s Whistlins Java.
Among the ruined cities of Peru
nearly fifty different kinds of musical
instruments have been found. Unique
among these are many double whis-
tling jars or musical water bottles.
Near the top of the first or front jar,
which is usually surmounted by a hu-
man or animal figure, is the opening of
the whistle. When the jars have been
partly filled and are swung backward
and forward a number of whistling
sounds are produced. As the vessel
swings forward and upward the water
is lowered in the first jar and rises in
the other. In the backward motion it
rushes baek into the first, forcing the
air out through the whistle.

its sword. There is quite a large busi-
ness done in swordfishing, as the flesh
is used for food. The larger species
are caught by harpooning, the smaller
in nets, ,
Bome of tho Tropical Specles Are of
Enormous Size.
A queer fish is the swordfish. It is
found in the tropical and subtropical
cones of both the eastern and western
hemispheres. Some of the tropical spe-
cies are or enormous sice and measure
from twelve to fifteen feet in length,
with swords at least three feet long.
The sword is much the shape of a cone
somewhat flattened, the end sharply
pointed. It is smooth on the top and
sides, but the under part is rough. It
is really an elongation of the bones of
the upper jaw and is possessed of very
grat strength, for with these weapons
they have been known to pierce the
copper sheathing of vessels and heavy
plates and timbers; but, although they
can drive the sword far into these sub-
stances, they cannot draw them out, so
break them off and swim away with-
out them.
A large fin extends nearly the length
of the back of the creature, which is
folded back when the fish is swim-
ming in order that its progress may not
be Impeded if speed is desired, but
when quietly swimming it is often
erected and acts as a sail to carry it
through the water. The swordfish is
very aggressive in its disposition and
will often assail fish much larger than

Early aa the Sixth Century.
A few gallons of oil cast upon stormy
seas moderates their violence and pre-
vents the waves from breaking with
force. That this j6 the case has long
been known. Thophylactes, the By-
santine historian of the sixth century,
propounded the question, “Why does
oil calm the soa?" and answered it to
the effect that as the wind is a subtle
and delicate thing and oil is adhesive
and unctuous the wind glides over the
surface of the water on which oil has
been spread and cannot raise waves.
The wind, in fact, slips over the water
without being able to obtain a grip.
In the gulf of Mexico there is a re-
markable stretch of water about two
miles long by three-quarters of a mile
broad to which the name of "oll spot"
has been given because in the worst of
storms the mariner finds still water
there.
Its eharaeter as a safe harbor of ref-
uge is said to be due to an olly proper-
ty of the mud stirred up by tho storm.
Doetor’e Fee Remained in the Well
“The queerest fee I ever had offered
to me was by an old farmer up in Mon-
roe county," said a prominent phy-
slelan who is also something of a
sportsman. “I was up there one year
for the trout fishing, and one evening
I was summoned from the hotel where
I was stopping to attend an old woman
in the neighborhood who had suddenly
been taken HL After I had fixed her
up her husband said to me: 'Doc, I
don't know what your charge is, but I
ain’t got no ready eash about me. I’ll
tell you what I’Ll do, though. Ree that

Their Numbers re Swelled by Their
Vood and Their Fith.
In the small island of Crete leprosy
is shockingly prevalent. The Cretans
have themselves to thank for this state
of affairs. The houses may be pretty
and whitewashed on the outside, but
within the filth is fearful. And the
food they eat is just what encourages
leprosy. The Greek forbids meat about
200 days out of the year, so as good
Christlana they must live on salt fish,

journey from northern seas to southern
heat The olive oil is so plentiful—
they export 20,000 tons each year—that
thvy use it to excess, even adding it to
the milk of a rice pudding. But the
crowning evil is pork, the favorite fare
of the Cretans on days when the
church allows them to eat meat. The
leper is not cut off here as he is in the
Fiji Islands or at the Cape. Outside
each village may be seen a little white
house called the “leprochortdn." Here
the lepers live. Their estates, if they
have any, are administered for them
by friends, and any one passing by the
door may speak to them. If the suf-
ferers be poor the state provides each
day a loaf of bread, and the charity
of passersby adds the luxuries.—New

The Way Fwo Engllahanen Captured
Four Hundred Prisoners.
Toward the dose of the peninsular
war 400 prisoners were captured by
John Colborne, afterward Field Mar-
shal Lord Seaton. Colborne, who was
wounded at Talavera, had been dis-
abled for some time, but in 1813 he
was in active service again, and when
Wellington’s army crossed the frontier
into France he performed what was in-
deed the most amazing feat of his ca-
reer.
When riding, with no comrade but
the famous Sir Henry Smith, separated
from his column, he saw 400 French
soldiers passing along a ravine below
him. "The only way was to put a
good face on the matter," he wrote.
“So I went up to them, desiring them
to surrender. The officer, thinking, of
course, the column was behind me, sur-
rendered his sword. saying theatrically,
'je vous rends ctte epee, qui a bien
fait son devoir.' (I surrender this
sword, which has done its duty well.)
The 400 followed his example." Sir
Henry Smith used to declare that he
had never seen such cool presence of
mind as Colborne displayed on this oc-
casion.

Wilkinson shows that we are in-

Egyptians. At first they were made 7
of metal, so well compounded and pol-
ished that some recently dug up from
Thebes have regained a wonderful lus-
ter after burial for thousands of years.
Oval In shape, they were fastened to
carved wooden handles. References
are made to such looking glasses in
Exodus and Job. The Greeks and Ro-
mans made similar mirrors of silver.
Pliny says that the earliest glass
mirrors were made of black volcanic
glass. Through the middle ages glass
backed with thin metallic sheets came
into use, and "bullseyes," or glass
globes into which while hot a metallic
mixture was blown for backing.
At Murano, near Venice, in the thir-
teenth century, the republic protected
the trade and jealously guarded its se-
crets, securing a lucrative business for
a century and a half. Mirrors were
then made from cylinders of glass flat-
tened on stone, carefull polished, bev-
eled at the edges and silvered by an
amalgam.

Inventions That Have Worked Won-
ders in Glassmaking.
In 1827 a carpenter of Sandwich,
Masa., wanting a piece of glass of a
particular size and shape, conceived
the idea that the molten metal could be
pressed into any form, much the same
as lead might be, writes William R.
Stewart in the Cosmopolitan. Up to
that time all glassware had been
blown either offhand or in a mold, and
considerable skill was required, and
the process waa slow. The glass man-
ufacturers laughed at the carpenter,
but he went ahead and built a press,
and now the United States is the
greatest pressed glassware country in
the world. h
In 1880 a novice in the plate glass in-
dustry, Henry Fleckner of Pittsburg,
whose only knowledge of glass had
been acquired in a window glass fac-
tory, invented an annealing “lehr," the
most important single improvement
ever introduced in plate glass manu-
facture. In three hours by the lehr the
same work is done which under the old
kilo system required three days.
About the same year Philip Ar go ba st
of Pittsburg, also a novice in glass-
making, invented a process by which
bottles and jars may be made entirely
by machinery, the costly blow oven
process being avoided and the expense
of bottle making reduced one-half.

fit Louis, July 4.—“Rome one turn-

President J. Ramsey, Jr., of the Wa-
bash, in speaking of the derailment of
the Wabash train at Litchfield.
"Whether it was one who had a
spite against the railroad or one who
was merely crazy, I don’t know. Cer-
tainly it seems that no human spite
against the road could be so bitter as
to sacrifice the lives that were lost or
to cause the suffering that has re-
sulted.
"If it did not seem like idle talk, I
would say that no reward 18 too heavy
to offer for the apprehension of the
one whose stealthy hand opened that
switch," he said. ,
"We are awaiting the result of the
coroner’s action. We will offer a re-

David Dudley Field Was Even Worse
Thia Horace Greeley.
No compositor could set David Dud-
ley Field's “copy.” They tried it in
several large law printing offices in
New York city, but invariably Mr.
Field’s manuscript was returned to
him for interpretation. His chirogra-
phy was something wretched. Com-
pared with it, Horace Greeley’s screeds
were copperplate. In the line of un-
intelligible "eurlycues" the great jurist
could give the great editor “cards and
spades."
Mr. Field never wrote at a desk
while in his office. He had a green
baize covered little slab screwed to the
arm of bls revolving chair, and on this
he would write for hours at a time.
He turned out "copy" quickly, but
days often elapsed before his writings
could be put i he bands of the print-
er. They had to be copied, and all
bands in the office took turns at help-
ing to decipher them. Often copies of
Mr. Field's briefs had to be returned
to him with spaces left for words, and
sometimes whole sentences, to be filled
in by himself. Then he would wax
wroth and declare his writing was as
plain as day.
Especially when working on his hob-
by, codification, Mr. Field’s ideas came
too fast for legible transmission to pa-
per, and the result was’ a chaotic ap-
pearing mass of characters most be-
wildering to the unfortunate copyist.

The first sheriff, Ganion, was killed

keeper of a bagnio, ran to him with

then cleaned out a band of ruffians in
a fight in semidarkness. But an hour
later he was a corpse.

Report* Fifty Thousand Japanese
Troop* Around Siu Yen.
By Associated Press. *
St Petersburg, July 4.—The general
staf has received the following dis-
patch, dated July 3, from Lieutenant
General Sakharoff:
On July 3 the enemy’s advance guard
in the Kalchau district retreated
southward and occupied a line nine
miles northeast of Senuchen.
Senuchen is occupied by an Infantry
detachment.
According to our information the
enemy has at least 50,050 troops laid
around' Siu Yen.
The Japanese are now occupying
their original positions at Dalin pass.
No movement beyond Dalin pass to-
wards Haicheng is observable."
Then folfowed the duel from the backs
of prancing horses, and Bardslay killed
both of the men. On a pack borse be
found $20/000 in gold twenties
White thing* were in this situation
the express company which had been
robbed wired an offer of $1,000 to
Bardsley if he would go down and
take the robbera. Bardsley got oe a
train and rode to the scene Then bo
put hla hand* in bls pockets and
walked unarmed and alone up to the
cabin occupied by the robbera. Ten
minutes later they followed him out of
the cabin and to a. special train await-
ing them at the station, and he deliv-
ered them over to the Missouri authori-
ties as easily as though they weme
sheep.
It was Bardsley who was called one
night from a social party in the United
States tend office at Haye to do some-
thing in the case of Texas Frank, who
was "ehooting up" a saloon. Bardsley
went with the first weapon he could
put his hands on, a double barreled
shotgun, and be filled Texas Frank

said the newspaper man to the sheriff,
“Is Frank your deputy?” “Yep" said
George sententously. "Why, how is
thatv‘ asked the scribe. "Well,” said
Bardsley, "the most of the sherifs ap-
point their deputies, but I like to shoot
mine.”

Nt WB of ths Action of tho Pennsyl-
vsnisn Not Pleating.
By Associated Press.
St. Louis, July 4.—The action of
Pennsyivania tonight to abandon their
favorite son and support Parker
changed the situation so far as the
divided sentiment in the New York
delegation was concerned. Senator
HUI wan led to remark that with an-
othee .mail accesalon Judge Parker
would be elected on the flr«t ballot.
William F. Sheehan, who ha. been the
netive leader ot the Parker torees, and
August Belmont deprecate this and ar-
Filed that it would be wine .to allow
the other states to have the honor of
naming in convention their favorite
candidates.
The new. was received at the Tam-
many headquarter. In an entirely dif-
ferent way, Leader Murphy at frat
rfuned to believe it, saying that he
had been ansured late tbt« evening that
the delegation would support ex-dov-
ernor Pattiaon. It waa only a few
minutes prior to the announcement of
Pennsylvania's vote that State Senator
Thomaa F. Grady had declared that
Pennsylvania would vote for her fa-
vorite aon and that Tammany had
planned to abandon the plan to con-
eentrate the anti-Parker vote and
would devote itseir to distributing the
ballots so that Parker could not ob-
tain a two-thirds vote prior to the sev-
enth or eighth ballot.
“In this way,” said Senator Grady,
"we will be able to convince the con-
vention that it had better select some
other candidate, either Cleveland, Mc-
Clellan or Gray."
After the announcement had been
made of the Pennsylvanian's declsion
they still gave it as their view that
there would be enough votes held by
individual ntates, not instructed for
Parker, or voting for Individual candl-
dates, to prevent Mr. Parker from ob-
taining a nominating vote at least the
first five or six ballots. Mr. Murphy
himself said:
"We expected Pennsylvanta to have
a candidate of its own, but we are not
disheartened. There are atm two or
three days before the nomination and
we shall continue to do active work

adopting, by a vote of 57 to 5, a reso-
lution instructing the chairman of the
delegation to cast Pennsylvania’s
sixty-eight votes for Judge Alton B.
Parker. This vote was the result of
the first ballot in the caucus of the
delegation. It followed a spirited nom-
inating speech by Charles P. Donnelly,
chairman of the democratic city com-
mittee of Philadelphia. There was no

London, July 5, 3:30 a. m—or the
774 sbula on board the Danish steamer
Norge, 128, including Captain Gundel,
are known to have been saved up to
this hour. One of the children died in
a life boat which brought others to
safety. For the missing 648 persons
small hopes are entertained.
The enormous death roll which was
feared at the first news of the wreck
has been decreased by 103, that the
number of survivors, after many pri-
vations, having been landed at Storn-
way yesterday.
The horrors of the wreck itselr grew
with each survivor's account. Cap-
tain Gundell’s statement, which reads
like an affidavit from the dead, for he
went down with his ship, maintains
that the Norge struck a sunken rock
eighteen miles south of Rockwall. The
103 survivors are spending the night
at Stomway, many of them in the hos-
pital. The majority of the twenty-six
who were landed at Grimsby have ar-
rived at Liverpool, from where they
will sail on the Cunard line steamer
Saxon la. which leaves tomorrow for
Boston, *
Vessels are searching the vlicnity of
Rockwall for any more survivors.
The chief hope lies to Captain Gun-
dell’* statement that seven boat loads
got safely away.
