as though in pain. The experiment was

A large party of hunters, with a pack of
fierce dogs, participated in a coyote drive
on the sagebrush plains near Boise, Idaho,
last week, which resulted in the killing of
over thirty sturdy wolves. Several of the
hounds were severely wounded. At one
time the hounds cornered four big coyotes
in a hollow of a butte, but after a brief,
fierce fight, in which five hounds were badly
injured, the hunters were glad to give the
wolves a chance in the open again. The
line warm fur of the coyote makes an ex-
cellent winter coat, and to secure this was
one of the objects of the chase.
A case was reported recently of an engin-

The peasants stood around the hut,

Bull fighting statistics show that the
Spanish sport does not decline. Judging
from the taurine statistics bull fighting is
not decreasing in Spain. During the pres-
ent year the number of first-class bull
fights in important cities has been 289, the
bulls killed being 1,594; There have also
been 307 fights of young bulls (novillos), in
which 1.407 were slaughtered. Of the chief
fights 26 took place in Madrid, 13 in Sevilla,
12 in Barcelona, and 11 in Valencia. Two
men—picadors—were killed ; of the espadas
and banderillos sixteen were more or less
seriously wounded, In each course from
six to eight bulls are killed ; but recently
in Madrid, in a fight which extended two
days, eighteen were finished off. On some
days a dozen horses. ,or even more, are ;gor
ed to death.

John Henry Mack, a young Englishman,
at present of Harwich, has had a ten years'
experience of life that is worth noting.
He left school at 17, enlisted in the British
army, and went to India. Five years later
he returned to England and married a
clergyman's daughter with a fortune of $S0-
000. Mack lost all this playing the races
in just two years. Then he became a po-
liceman at Watford. A few months after
his appointment his wife inherited $4,500.
This lasted Mack five menthe. Then, on
his wife's good credit he opened a saloon. A
eouple of months later he was nettling a pork
butcher shop at Colchester on his own ac-
count. A little later he was travelling for
a clothing firm, and but a very little later
still he was in business as a tripe dresser at
Ipswich. He had to atone for part of the
indebtedness he acquired here by serving a
short term in prison. A similar result fol-
lowed some business venture, not other-
wise referred to, at Malden. His wife died
last year and left hiin $1,000, and with this
he set up in business last January as a
butcher at Harwich. Nine months later at
the age of 28 years, he is in the bank-
ruptcy court with liabilities of $1,200, and
no assets.
A REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.
--
What Cante or a Womalt with n Stray Wire
Around Iler Ankle Entering a Cable
Car.
A bundle of tangled telegraph wires lying
on the ground at the corner of Division and
North Clark Street, Chicago, ems the cause
of an accident to Mrs. Bertha Mitchell,
which may result fatally to her. She was
standing at the corner Sunday night wait-
ing for a north -bound cable train, and did
not notice that her left foot had become
entangled in the wire
As the cab
1
traine
stopped she entered the last trailer through
the rear door and was about to take her
seat when her attention was called to the
wire, which was still wrapped around her
ankle. . At the same time the conductor
noticed it and made an effort to release her,
but the sigual for the train to start had
been given.
With a violent jerk it shot forward and
Mrs. Mitchell was torn from her feet. The
conductor sounded "four bells" the signal
for an 'instant stop, but there were three
trailers to the train and by the time the
signal reached the gripman the train had
gone forward fifty feet. Several men tried
to assist Mrs. Mitchell, but they could net
reach her in time. The other end of the
wire was attached to a telegraph pole
and as it was drawn taut she was
thrown forward to the floor of the car with
terrible violence. The rear door had not
been closed and she was dragged through it
and hurled against the end board. Had the
train not been stopped then it is probable
that the first thing to yield to the tension
would have been Mr,. Mitchell's ankle. She
was lifted from the car and it was thought
best to make no effort, to remove the wire
without the aid of a physician. Accordingly
it was cut and the woman was carried into
the office of Dr. C. McArthur.
Dr. McArthur realized at once that the
wonnds were of a serious nature, and with
great care he unwound the wire. It was
found that on the back of Nlrs. Mitchell's leg
two deep cuts had been inflicted, one of
which laid bare the bone.. Those were im-
mediately behind the kneecap, as the wire
had slipped up when the car first started:
Serious apiaal• injuries resulted from the
violence with which Mrs: Mitchell was
thrown against the end board of the car,
and when she was removed to the residence
of her sister she was in a semi-conscious
condition
Be sure you are left and then go ahead.

Joe and I--odd,the west side of the Salmon
•River m6ustains;and on the banks of aci'eek

ing into the west fork of the Salmon
river. Joe was a half;breed boy about 18
years. old—an honest„ trusty fellow,aud
a reliable guide—and just 'then wet had
nothing to fear from the Indians.' • •
I had been feverish all day, and when I
turned in, with my feet ,to the fire and the
stars above nte,as about 8 otclock; I was a
little bit _flighty. The last I remembered
was hearing Joe collecting fuel, for the
night. Milia bed had been prepared about,
six feet from mine, and he had told me that
a whisper would awaken him if 1 needed
him during the night.
I
awoke aboet
midnightht with
the fe
vor
gone andell mysenses peculiarlyalert. It
seemed as if I could hear better than ever
in my life before. Just above us was a
riffle in the 'creek, and I heard the waters
babbling and caught it splash now and then
as the fie uor 1 n a noise
h ran upcow . T heard no s
in the torest, anknew that a dead limb
had fallen. A wolf barked, and I figured
it out that be was about half a mile away.
There was a rustling among the loaves, and
Iabosaidut. to thyself that a mole was ruining
Step ! Step !'Step !
If my bead had not been in contact with•
the earth I could not have made out the
sound. It was faint and light. The horses
were lying down,' as Fknew by the sound
of their breathing, and when I lifted my
head a bit I saw that Joe was wrapped in
his blanket.
Step 1 Step !Step !
All, T have it now ! . It is the wolf whose
bark I heard five minutes ago. The dull
glow of our campfire has caught hie eye,
and he is prowling about to investigate, He
is gaunt and
shambling,
and atthis sean
on
of the yearhisfur '
is stained and ragged.
e gg
He skulks anddodges, advances and re-
treats, and now and then his lip drops down
to reveal his fangs, There is no fear of him.
Even if there were a dozen they would not
attack. If I were to sit upright this fellow
would drop his tail aud make a bolt for it
and not stop running tor a mile.
Did I feel the earth jar beside me? No !
If there was any movement at all it was
caused by one of the horses raising his head
to catch the scent of the wolf. The move-
ment of a horse lying down or getting up
can bo detected by a man in his blankets
100 feet away. Was that noise made by
something being dragged along the earth ?
Of course not ! A horse when sound asleep
will often move ono of his feet with a scrap-
ing motion. A boar may be prowling about
and his skull! aknff ! skuff 1 would account
for the peculiar sound.
"Joe ! Joe 1"
The fever has left my throat as dry as
tinder, and Isuddenly thirsted. It won'ttako
Joe over a minute to fill our coffee pot with
fee -cold water at the spring. I don't like
to break in on his sleep, but ho can makeup
for it to -morrow when left in charge of the
camp.
"Joe ! Joe 1"
He sleeps as lightly as a fox, and, Indian -
like, is awake every two hours to see that
the fire is all right. I have called twice and
yet failed to arouse him. The night is a bit
chilly and he may have wrapped his head in
the blanket. I will sit up and see. But
where is Joe? There is the spot where lie
made his bed, but he is not there. I can see
clear around the fire, but Joe's form is not
in sight. He is not after fuel—he is not at
the spring.
" doe ! Joe 1 Joe 1"
1 am on my feet as I call. No answer. He
would hear me if half a mile away, but there
is no response. I go to the spring and drink
my fill, and return an 1 heap fuel on the
fire and lie down again. Joe is a queer sort
of boy. He may have gone down to the Sal-
oon to set a couple of traps, or he may have
seen Indians pass and followed them. There
is no cause to worry.
It is sunshine as I open my eyes again.
I sit up and look around. Joe is not here.
Istand up aud shout "Coo -e -e -e 1" but
there is no reply. 1 look down upon the
spot where he made his bed, and there is a
trail as of some burden being dragged. I
follow it, and ten rod away I find pieces of
his blanket and blood on the leaves ; at
twenty ods the rest of 1
n >e his blanket, torn
and bloody. Through a thicket and on the
far side of a log I come upon his dead body,
or the ghastly remains of it.
While I was Lying wide awake, as I have
described to you, a panther crept up,
sprang upon the sleeping boy and carried
him away. I heard only the faint noises I
have mentioned, none of theta giving the
slightest cause of alarm — none of them
loud enough to have aroused a sleeping
warrior. The boy had made 'no cry, no
struggle. Softly as he had alighted the
great cat had struck him dead with one
blow ofhispaw. Two of us lay there motion-
less and helpless. The panther had his
choice: Who can gness'what determined it.

More Victims of the Gambling Craze.
From Monte Carlo comes the news of two
tragic events, in one of which an American
was the victim. The. A>nerican, who is de-
scribed as 23 years old and of good appear-
ance, lost £3,500 belonging to his mother
and which she had intrusted to his care.
Luck went against hint from the first, and
he played wildly in the hope of recouping
his loss. When the last gold piece was
gone he walked silently out of the Casino,
attracting no moreattention, however, than
other unfortunate gamblers. Near Vin-
timglia, .about eighteen miles from Nice,
the distracted young manthrew himself on
the railroad track in front of an approach-
ing train and was crushed to death under
the wheels.
Another gambler, whose nationality is
not given and whohad lost nearly every-
thing in the Casino, took the train ,from
Monte Carlo, apparently with the intention
of returning home, and shot himself dead
with a revolver while on the train. •Tho
gambling tables at Monte Carlo are doing a
flourishing business. ,

the' St, Nicholas. We reached the high
ground before fe meetmo
ateum
e and we
were greatly rejoiced to se that
lunch of
the grass woe: still fairly green here, though
thickly- bestrewn with patches of longer
grans that was dry.
The fierce flames now approached rushing
along with fusions speed, crackling and snap-
Ping—the
nap-ping the sound alone being sufficient to
strike terror to the stoutest heart. Gallop-
ing along the line of fire we found that where
it otossed it little ravine the flames were not
so high, for the grass was quite green there.
We dashed through the line of fla'lue, suffer-
ing brief tortures of :suffocation and a severe
stinging and smarting of our eyes, caused
by
the intense heat and pungent smoke.`
Oneethrougli, we congratulated ourselves
on the hope that we should yet escape, for
going itt this direction, right in the teeth of
tbe.wind, we could travel more rapidly than
the pursuing flames..
While passing through the fire I recalled
the proverb It's an ill wind that blows
nobody good," for just in, advance of the
line of flame clouds of sparrows darted here
and there, ',etching the hosts of insects
started tip by the heat of' the burning,
grass.
We now heard galloping hoofs and we
soon saw twe Indians (Osages) approaching
through the smoke. "" Where are you go-
ing ?" they asked in their own language.
To Gray Horse," our driver replied in the
aarnetongue. They told him that the prairie
was a mass of flalrte tit that direction and
that we must go back. We responded that
all was flame in that direction. Notwith-
standing the indifference to danger usually
ascribed to redskins, these indians showed
unmistakable signs of terror. Some further
quick informed mthat
conversation in o ed us they,
like ourselves, had seized an opportunity
to penetrate the line of flame, thinking thus
to escape,
'1\e all were now inclosed in a gradually
narrowing ring of fire, To clear the space
around us by burning off the grass -to
start a " back fire," as it is called—was our
only chance for safety ; and this we at.
tempted. A large space was cleared before
the oncoming fire reached us. We hailed
to escape with but singed eyebrows and a
few moments of suffocation, and this we
would have considered a fortunate deliver.
anee. But we found our last chance failing
us, Tho back fire we Ind started against
the wind had burned only the dry grass,
and in doing this had served as a furnace to
dry the greener grass. Thus the prairie
fire, reaching our burned district, found the
greener grans killed and dried, and hence
had almost as tnuchfuel as outside.
The fire was now close around ata. The
varying currents of air heated by the flames
whirled and rose, and gnats of cold air rush-
ing in to replace the hot air caused a whirl-
wind, and a great well of smoke and flame
was thus formed, Within this well we
stood, as yet uuharntedand with a constant
supply of cool air, but expecting death.
It was a dreadful moment; the mother and
child were crying ; the Indians, with clasp-
ed -arms, were calling upon the Great Spirit
in it weird chant,
Suddenly we felt an unusually strong
rush of cold air from one side, and, looking
tip, I saw a strange and welcome eight. A
long tongue of flame had run toward and
into our circular prison from the main .fire,
and had burned a ]ane from tate outlying
burnt area in to us. Through this lane,form-
cd by walls of fire, came rushing in a cur-
rent of cold, clear air. This kept the smoke
blown away, and we saw plainly the path
of escape thus providentially afforded us
when all hope seemed gone.

in the constellation of Auriga last year has
turned out to be a very puzzling object for
astronomers. Among the theories that were
proposed to account for its sudden appear-
ance was one which ascribed it to the effects
of a collision between two or more bodies
(or perhaps two or more swarms of meteors)
moving in different directions. The heat
developed in such a collision would doubtless
be sufficient to cause the colliding bodies to
with a visible light, and the subsequent
fading out of the new star seemed to acord
with the hypothesis.
It was supposed that after the collision
the mysterious bodies separated, travelling
on such paths that they could never meet
again.
But late last summer, considerably to the
surprise of many astronomers, it was found
thatthenew star, after having become so faint
that even the great Lick telescope was bare-
ly able
are-lyable to reveal its continual presence, had
increased in brilliance until the smallest
telescope could show it. If the theory of its
origin just described is correct, then another
collision must have taken place, either be-
tween the bodies originally concerned, or be-
tween one of them and a new body travel-
ling through space in that part of the
universe.
The problem is complicated by the fact
that recent studies of the spectrum of the
new star indicate that it is not a real star
but a nebula, that is, a mass of matter in
the condition of a glowing gas. The result
of a collision of solid bodies might easily be
the formation of a nebula, because it would
only require a sufficient degree and amount
of heat to turn the earth itself into a nebulous
cloud ; but the puzzling question is, How
did ithappen that a second collision took
place?
For the chance of a single collision
occurring among celestial bodies out in the
wide expanse of interstellar space is exces-
sively small
It might be suggested that streams of
meteoric masses .are moving through
space in the neighborhood of the new star,
so that such collisions inay be relatively
frequent there, but any suggestion of that
kind must be purely speculative.
-Inthe meantime, there ,isno doubt:of the
reality of the curious fluctuations in the
new star. Anybody armed with sufficient
telescopic means may see them for hilt-
self.
imself, Perhaps the discovery of their true
cause, when it isaffected, will open up' to
our understanding new laws as well as new
