0HVOTED TUH MTESESTS OF THE BOY £000 TIGER SHOOTING, When I was hist in India a friend of mine wishing to accompany me on a hunting excursion and being specially anxious to kill a tiger, knowing that I was an experienced hunter, asked me to undertake all the necessary arrange- menta. On the appointed day we duly put in on appearance, and, as we were preparing to make a start, 1 told the guide that 1 did not like the- looks of the eje- phant, which seemed nervous and uneasy, as if bornethiug was on its mind which fact cuubcU me to suspect trouble. JBut on the guide's assurance that the creature had lieeii guaranteed "to him is trained and reliable, there nothing more to be MI id aud could only wait and trubt to fate. We had not proceeded lery far in the jungle when Bates, in a said to me; What is that queer noise I hear so distinctly every now and again?" The elephant's progress was stopped for the guide's opinion. On his pronouncing that it was a tiger, and evidently close at hand, we proceeded with extra caatien, all ready.

Suddenly a tremendous brute sprang put with a mighty rush a tremendous roar, showing powerful jaws, which so frightened the elephant that it turned and bolted, just as I had feared would be the case, and I congratulated: myself that I had taken the precaution to-want-Bates-to hold on tight, for as it was the suddenness of the movement upset his equilibrium anS as nearly as possible pitched him out. The -tiger, taking, in the situation at a glance, and appreciating the elephant's fright, gave chase and made a frantic effort to Jeap on the howdahs. But just at the critical moment, us luck would have it, the elephant made a violent shy to one'side, thus preventing what would most certainly otherwise have been a fatality, for as it was Bates had a nasty scratch on; the calf of the leg from one of the tiger's claws as it fell back, tearing his trouser leg clean off. A lucky escape, indeed, but in spite of this, wishing, as I knew he must have done, for absence of body at such a critical period of his life, he did not lose presence of mind, for he leveled his rifle and managed to wound the infuriated brute sufficiently to stop its onward proir- and compel retirement to the jungle; aad I can assure" you it was very much to the relief minds under the, circumstances of the case that we taw him limping off. The guide-then realizing how terribly he had been imposed upon, expressed deepest legrels, assured Us that if wo pave him a couple of hours' grace he: would-iconic to an understanding with the elephant and that we should be able to -proceed all right.

Agreeing to this, we retired the ele- jihiint to a safe distance from the jungle and dismounted, leaving the guide-and the elephant to fight it-out. What the special course of instruction was we did not care to ask, the proof of the pudding in the eating being sufficient -Time being up, we remounted and advanced -to jungle, there being nq.fur- ther difficulty with Mr. Elephant, who seemed to have-come to thorough; understanding the guide. We now proceeded slowly and cau- following the wounded tiger by the hloodmarks. Bu'tes was on the qui rifle in hand; while I scanned the.

surroundings as we advanced with my binoculars. At last, seeing the tiper, I gave, the signal to have the elephant stopped. "Look," said I to Bates; "there he is sure enough, down iu his lair over there, some twenty yards ahead. Don't you see him? Of course you do. See, he evidently.

recognizes you, and is anxious for a closer acquaintance, not feeling contented with having; given you mere scratch on your leg this morning. So look put for and bc.Te.ady." We-halted within ten yards the beast, who was evidently dangerously wounded. On pur approach he opened his jaws, showing a splendid set of teeth, ample also that his lungs excellent condition. His spirit evidently was also willing, but the flesh weak, er IB aifmutic effort to make a spring he fell back; at the ceiving his deathblow from a well-directed bullet from the rifle of Bates, thanks to the steady conduct of the elephant, who had evidently been conquered by his instruCtqr. Marking the spot," we left our dead tiger to take care of itself, and continued the advance cautiously as before, biit after many hours of unsuccessful search gave up the chase, feeling convinced that the tigress must either for the time being have vacated the vicinity or be se-.

cnrely hidden an some remote some reason brst known to herself. So, as it watntetting lute, we decide'd to go pack, skin our prize and then return to camp, which we did satisfactorily. When everything was made secure and jmt in ship-shape order for the night, all rampfires lighted, we had -quite a chat Xvith the guide ns to the: best means of the second animal. To tie up beast as a Unit would be too suspicious. Tigers arc getting too canny to be taken in like that, thought, "but," said "how will it do for you to hobble a sheep, placing it at libertv in a likely spot in the jungle to attract the tigress? Ion can easily purchase one in the nearby Tillage." 4 'Yes," said" the guide, "that plan will Bo very well indeed, and to iny mind be admirable.

I'll be off and do it -at Bnce, and we will make a fresh start in morning." Having day before us, we did not particularly care to make too early a 7 o'clock, howoyer, found us in out places on the back of elephant, with tverythlng ready. Entering the jungle, we wore soon nt the spot where the guide son the previous light had turned the bheep loose. There peing BO of it we continued the advance. Bates with his rifle ready as before, I binoculars in hand, viewing the Und. Catching a glimpse of beast moving some ahead through the v.e increased our pace to make sure what it was, satisfying our curiosity and finding it be a huge boar.

Bates was anxious to 'blaze away, but both the guide and'I thought that discretion oeing the better part of valor, it trould not be advisable to lire, as it might alarm the tigress if she happened to be Inywhere in the vicinity, as it Was quite Expected she was. At length on reaching a nullah we as to afford me the bppertnnl- cr of taking a thorough binocular: view. See, there about 100 yards up the spied the tigress, lying peaceably and kleepily down, not for from the remains jtiie iamb which she had condescended io-devour.

"There are two methods," replied the father; "first paddlerwheels; then are the.more'modern. All of these ferryboats yon see are moved by paddle-wheels." "How does a paddle-wheel move the boat?" "That's very'easily explained: here we have a wheel, or, two wheels' on the same shaft'with planks running from one to the other. THE ELBPHANT JOINS IN THE SPOET. same time giving vent to his feelings with a mighty trumpeting, as much as to say: "What about 'my conduct now; does that suit you better?" As the tigress lay prostrate on the ground from the effects of the 'elephant's salute, I told Bates that as I.wished him to be the hero of the day, to take steady aim between her eyes, which he did, when she seemed to expire without a We gave a. which the phant joined by giving a second terrific trumpeting, quite sufficient, we thought, to have aroused the beast had there been any life left in her, but it being well known that a blow from an expiring tiger is fatal, we thought it both wiser and safer, more especially havUg plenty of time at our disposal, to wait and see whether (he was really dead or merely stunned before dismounting to make an inspection and commence taking off the hide.

Of course, we might have made sure by giving her another bullet, but that would, to our minds, have, unnecessarily the skin. "Look here," I said to the guide, "does it not strike you that here may be some reason, yet to be explained, why the tigress was not in the vicinity of her lord and master!" "yes," he replied. "I-have my ideas on the subject, which will be verified when we make our inspection. Now, then," coninned the guide, 'I will guarantee it is safe to dismount She is as dead as mutton." So off he slid from the elephant's head, telling us to. follow.

"Yes," he said, "just as I expected. She has -cubs somewhere close by, and the tiger we shot yesterday was out on a foraging expedition for the family." On our making a careful search we found comfortably nestled up in amongst a loti of brushwood two young tigers, about the size, of small dogs; fierce little demons they were, too, presumably about 6 weeks old; they showed their teeth'and growled frantieallyi They had the spirit and the, will to jdo any amount of -mischief, but, poor little beasts, they lacked the power. They were soon made prisoners and walked off much against their will. We were presently on our homeward journey -with them, and the mother's skin, in which we tied them up. On our return to camp, the guide being exceedingly pleased "with his.

So ended a second day's, successful Times. Electrical Experiment. A very pretty electrical experiment may be conveniently made by any boy or girl. Get an ordinary straight lamp- chimney and areund the middle of outside, of courses-put a band of tinfoil, gluing it on with mucilage.

put a narrow band of the foil along the outer surface of the chimney from one end to within half an inch of the circular Be sure that one band does not touch the other. Now take a round bristle brush, such; as is used for (cleaning lamp-chimneys, ana around it wrap a dry silk handkerchief. Insert the brush, thus with the handkerchief, in the chimney and rub it briskly back and forth, being careful that your hand does not come In contact with the tinfoil. If you do this in the dork yon will see an electrical spark leap across the inters val between the two bands: -of tinfoil, whieh will shew 'that. the" friction has electrified-the chimney.

The interest of the experiment may be increased by tying a bit of iron or brass wire arouad the central band of the tinfoil, letting one end of the wire hang down ten.or twelve Inches from the chimney. To this end attach four or five strips, of rieepaper, obtained by cutting up a shert of cigarette paper. Then insert the brush in the chimney in the opposite direction frora that first indicated, and when you rub it briskly you will see; the strips of paper stand out 'from each other as if they had life. And so they have, for the time ing, since the electricity generated in the 1 glass tvr the friction has passed from the glass to the tinfoil and thence to the paper. This simple experiment demonstrates three principles of natural philosophy, to wit: 1.

A bad conductor of electricity, such as glass, becomes electrified by friction. 2. A good conductor, such as tinfoil and metallic'wire, will transmit electricity from a charged aa uncharged 3. Bodies charged with" Hie same kind of strips of repel each other. Perfect dryness of ait and materials is essential to the success of the experiment: therefore yon should select a fine, dry day, and air and the handkerchief before the fire as a precaution.

A writer'in Our. Animal Friends de-. scribes a festival that she witnessed in China. She says: Paak-taai is, I must explain, one of the most popular Chinese gods. He is supposed once to have lived on earth, to hare been fond of birds and very kind to them.

Every year, in the month of a celebration is held in his honor. This festival, which I saw in the great southern city of Canton, lasts for three days. Shops are closed and services held every morning and afternoon in the god's fine temple. On the a and brilliant' procession passed the principal streets. First marched htige white lanterns emblazoned with Paak- taai's name and titles.

They were followed by about 100 boys carrying richly embroidered banners. Then 'came the These wppdeii platforms covered clay arranged to different scenes in Pa'ak-taai's life. He was shown feeding setting their broken legs and teaching them tricks. The figures were skillfully 'modeled, 'and beautifully and painted, but the "history trays" were eclipsed by the next division of the procession. Thousands of lanterns were borne aloft on poles, each-being the life-size imitation of some bird.

There were long-legged storks, stately peacocks; golden pheasants, "snow" pheasants, with long jet-black tails, great vultur.es'ahd eagles, then at last. glittering kingfishers, tiny tits and All the lanterns were lit many, the real feathers of the. birds and they made a very odd and very pretty show; After the birds rode boys of all ages, mounted on queer little Chinese ponies. They wore fantastic dresses: and Vhad their faces painted black, white and red, with here and there a dash of gold. Some had -gilded chins.and eyebrows, others gold noses and ears.

The older boys were enjoying the fun immensely, vying ith each other in puffing out their cheeks and making all sorts of queer, many of the little fellows were more than half asleep, and in danger of rolling off the back of their steeds. Then more ianterns, more, banners and a dreadful band of (s.o-called) music' ended this amusing pageant. TREE-CLIMBING BABBITS. Parrot! that Eat Sheep, Sheep that £ove Snails and IrisectivoroQft It seems almost a stretch of the imagination to think of rabbits climbing trees; Yet in many rabbits have somehow acquired the tree-climbing habit, having been on account of the persecutions of dogs and other animals, to drop burrowing and imitate squirrels. An Australian sent on to England recently the.

For a parrot to eat is another remarkable thing, and yet the kea of New Zealand has become a sheep-eater, having changed to this article of food from, a purely" vegetable diet The kea has.proved a serious source of annoyance to the-Kew Zealand and methods: have been taken the destruction of the These gay-colored Uttie birds will eat almost any kind of meat, but it is sheep that they prefer. They have been konwn to kill as many as 200 in a single night, and have done serious harm to flocks. The tradition of the isalnd is. that at one time these parrots were'unable to obtain their usual supply of vegetable food and that in desperation -they invaded the "drying rooms" and ate whatever came to hand, finding sheep meat agreeable.

In Ice: land almost all the horses are -fish eaters, for the reason that grain is Scarce there and fish is plentiful. In England, sheep are known who in -snails. The observation-of this fact it not'new; it dates back 150 years. It is well known that a large number of insectivorous birds become grain eaters whenever they find that they cannot procure their ordinary diet of New York World. Antwerp Schoolboys.

The schoolboys, too, would delight yon. So far as legs go, they are clad as any American boys might be knickerbockers or long trousers; but around their shoulders they wear dark blue capes with hoods, and on their heads such jolly saps I Rubens, the great painter, lived in Antwerp. He died there 250 years ago; but the boys of Antwerp know as much about him as you do about Christopher Colnmbus or George they keep his memory green by the caps they wear. These are the same style as those worn 'by and for that reason the; are much worn by art students generally, and, therefore, in towns where Rubens is not so well known as he is In Antwerp, they are described as "painters' caps." They are much larger in circumference than the tarn shanter. and instead of being knitted or crocheted they are made of dark blue or black cloth, and have a canning little pigtail on the top, not more than an inch in length, and, smaller around than a lead pencil.

The boys wear these caps in all sorts of -ways; pulled down over the eyes to keep the out, polled entirely back from the forehead, as is the fashion Of Neapolitan fishermen, or worn rakishly on one' side or the other, and hanging well down to the shoulder. Net one straw hat or one derby did I see on'the head of an Antwerp, schoolboy.

"Why do they use propellers so much?" "Because there are several objections to paddle-wheels. For instance, here is a paddle just entering the water. "The force it is exerting is downward. That being the.

Well, that is not what we want to dp, we. want it to move forward, as considerate valuable power is lost in the down stroke. Then when the paddle starts to come up there is a great weight of water above it exerting a downward pressure, which requires considerable force to overcome. -The point of greatest efficiency is when the paddle is exactly vertical, so that all the force is exerted in a horizontal direction, like this: "So yon see a large amount of power is wasted, and to overcome this difficulty we have invented the feathering paddlewheel." "What's that?" "It is so constructed that when one of the paddles goes into the water it takes the position shown to the left, and when comittg out a position something like that on the right.

Let me not suffer." The drop fell and death was instantaneous. Stihnie Dean's crimes were the sensations of last year in New Zealand.
