I would like to ask whether you find that the puma, or Jaguar, shows a different kind of temper from the leopard, or Old World panther, and from the jaguar? I ask thla because In hunting it I have found It to be. compared to the big bear, a cowardly animal, and If what I read of the danger of hunting the Indian and African leopard Is true, then the puma la not nearly as formidable ns the leopard or the Jaguar, in short. Is not near ly so formidable as the big spotted cats, though it Is a big and as formidably armed. Have you noticed any difference In your werk among these species, taking the average one and comparing It as to temper, ferocity. Ac with the average of the other? Of course, there are wide Individual differences, but that Is not what I am after at present.

I notice, that you say there I little or no difference between the tiger, lion, leopard, or jaguar. Sincerely your: THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Oyster Bay. July 18, Mr. Bostock Is at present on the way to Europe to visit bis properties In London and Paris. The letter was forwarded Immediately.

GIRL WILL SET OFF BLAST Huge Mint of Rendrock Placed Under Henderson's Point and Will Be Fired by Electricity.

PORTSMOUTH, N. July were completed to-day for the discharge of forty-fire tons of dynamite under Henderson's Point in the Pis-cats qua Hirer her to-morrow. The dynamite has been placed la about 400 aperture drilled under the three acres of ledge which forms th point and the last wire connections by which all of the explosive will be discharged at one tlm were made snd tested this forenoon. It Is planned that the huge blast shall be et off at 4 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. Rear Admiral W.

W. Mead, commandant of the navy yard, will give the signal and Mlsa Edith M. Foster, daughri ter of Superintendent O. A. Foster of th contracting company, will operate the switch.

The removal of the ledge will gratly Improve the water approach to the Portsmouth Navy Yard. Since the earliest explorers coasted along the New England seaboard Portsmouth Harbor has been considered a poor port because of the difficult entrance. Ihe navy yard there has been restricted to, small proportions for this reason. The harbor Just off the navy yard la excellent, but narrows Into a channel which Is little more than sixty feet wioe where Henderson's Point juts forth. During high tides the water sweeps over the low point and makes It for the time being an Island.

In the channel which it now partially obstructs the currants are Intricate and powerful. The best oarsmen of these wsters have difficulty in handling a small craft at this point. With one current tugging at the bow, with another twisting under the stern, the helmsman of a steam craft must keep his wits about him. But this did not become a great problem until after the Navy Department had decided to build at the Portsmouth Navy Yard an immense dry dock. The Chief of the Bureau Tarda and Docks of the Navy Department one day called some of hi assistants Into consultation.

Before them lay a chart of the channel. A pencil mark was quickly drawn across the neck of Henderson's Point. All beyond that mark must be removed to a depth of thirty-five feet at least," was the order. ork began in 1102. At Hell Gate far more explosive was used than will be employed at Henderson's Point'.

The Hell Gate task cost a total of more than The removal of Middle Reef required more than 208.000 pounds of explosive, mostly rendrock." But at Hell Gate the rock under which the engineers tunneled to place the explosive was not broken up sufficiently to enable the dredgers easily to remove It. At Portsmouth it Is planned to give the bottom of the harbor such a shock that the rock will crumble Into comparatively small pieces. Deep down in the pit workmen have drilled 4m holes in the rock ledge. Each of thtse holet. is nbout 60 feet deep, or long, and from 2 to Inches In diameter.

Slicks of dynamite, each containing pounds or moro, have been put in each of these borings, and all will be fired simultaneously. LAMBS PLAY FOR YACHTSMEN. Larchmont Members Amused at Parodies on Club Life. Sfcial la The New York Times. LARCHMONT, N.

Th question arising- out of the use of these munitions of war put the Magistrate on his mettle. His first nut to crack was given htm by Mlsa McNamara, who asked: "What do you think of a man who Mows vile tobacco smoke Into a lady's i ace 7 No gentleman would do that." replied the Magistrate quick as a wink. What do you think of a woman who would place Umburger cheese under a gentleman's nose? Inquired Mr.

Bolen. Such an act would be very unladylike," replied the Magistrate with equal promptness. Miss McNamara then explained that she was sitting on her front stoop on Wednes day trying to get a breath of air, but that Bolen pipe emitted clouds of smoke of such strength and pungency that the heat Indoors was preferable. The lawyer In the case spoke up here. Didn't you run to a delicatessen store for the strongest cheese they had there?" he asked of Miss McNamara.

DR. DEAN R. BABBITT, BROOKLYN PASTOR, DEAD End Comes a Day After He Sees Labor of Years Bear Fruit. THE EPIPHANY FREE OF DEBT And a Permanent Home Guaranteed to th Congregation by Consolidation with St. Matthew's Church.

Death, hovering for months over the Rer. Dr. Dean Richmond Babbitt, rector of the Protestant Episcopal Chutch cf the Epiphany. In Brooklyn, claimed him at noon yesterday. Just one day after be had witnessed the successful consummation of years of labor to place his congregation In a state of permanent pros-: pcrlty.

Dr. Babbitt died at his home. 55 MacDonough Street. It was briefly told In Thi Times yesterday that articles of consolidation had been filed the day before In the oKice of the County Clerk in Brooklyn by the Churches of the Epiphany and St. Matthews.

Dr. Babbitt became rector of the Church of the Epiphany in succeeding the Rev. Dr. Nles. lu.

first rector. He found the church deeply In debt, with heavy mortgages hanging over it. For years he struggled to meet the Interest, but two years ago the Nassau Trust Company asked that the money be paid more promptly or that the church permit a foreclosure. The disappointment and unhap plness shown in his letters addressed to the officers of the trust company after this Incident aroused much comment, for they were, generally printed In the newspapers, and finally such a sentiment developed among the Episcopalians of Brooklyn that a fund was raised with which the mortgage was cleared awny. There were other and serious stumbling blocks in the way, but Dr.

Babbitt met them as best he could until three months ago, when he became very ill. He was taken to St. John's Hospital, In Brooklyn, and operated on for what was then said to be caiicer of the liver. It was then sld that Dr. Babbitt had not long to live.

This waa denied, and, he immediately set to work to place congregation in a position to have a permanent house of worship, and this was accomplished by the consolidation. Under the terms of the consolidation the Rev. Th-. Frederick Nor-rls became rector of the greater church, while Dr. Babbitt was to be Rector Emeritus, with a salary of $5,500 a year for two years.

Dr. Babbitt was born In Cincinnati fifty- four year ago. In his early years he ran a newspaper in Tennessee. Then he re turned to Cincinnati as an attorney with Stanley Matthew and in the office of Secretary Taft. After this he entered Harvard and took a course in the Cambridge Theological Seminary, being graduated In 1886.

While yet a student. he had a charge at Highland Falls. N. T. Upon leaving Cambridge with a degree of LL.

conferred by Harvard, he went as a missionary Into the great Northwest, working in Tacoma and "in Spokane, Washington. In Tacoma he conducted a crusade against the professional gamblers of the town, who gave him warning to leave itithln twenty-four hours. But Dr. Babbitt refused to leave, and stayed until, aa the city grew up, he saw most of his enemies driven out. Dr.

Babbitt came from eld New England stock, and was a descendant of a pilgrim of the Mavflower. He possessed relics of the Pilgrim Fathers, which he valued very highly. He leaves a widow and six children. Funeral services will be held In the Church of the Epiphany to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock. Bishop Burgess presiding.
