All Games Ball Games.
I'lave you noticed that in every
popular game or sport the ball plays
a very important part? No gado
without a 1::111, however big the craze
for it may bo at ono time, has ever
lasted.
Archery, for example, is played
without halls, and yet it is a1n1.os1 ex-
tinct as a pastime. At one time it
was the only recreation in England.
13811 games were first played by the
ancient Greeks and Romans, and con -
slated merely of throwing and catching
the eel. This was found to be an ex-
cellent method of strengthening the
figure and keeping the body healthy.
Nowadays most 01 the games are
elsyed with other apparatus. Also
there are rules which govern hie
games.
The most popular of all sports, of
course, is football, then comes cricket,
lawn tennis, hockey, and so on down
to marbles. Indoors we have billiards
and bagatelle. If you are thinking of
inventing a 110W game, you can count
on a bigger chance of success if you
include a be.11 in it.
Motorcycles in China, 1
Much interest is being shown in
China in motorcycles, clue to the fact
that they can travel on 111e narrow
paths used by foot passengers and
for wheelbarrows, although there are
but few roads suitable for automo-
biles.

Taming ®f the Lion
The tamer of wild beasts uses 10
secret methods or magic 51)611s, In
fact, such a tauter proceeds vary much
as a child eyelike in tanker a wild kit-
ten. If a lion is to be taught to ride
on horseback, for instance, it is neon -
eery to be very patient at first and
tape a great deal 01 time. If possible,
it is beet to begin when the boast is
young—less than a year old. He was
born in captivity; he is already ac-
customed to seeing persons outside
his cage, but not inside. Ale. Itis in-
stincts are fierce.
When the trainer first opens the
cage floor and steps inside the young-
ster at once displays fear. Ho will
probably jump at the trainer, snarling
savagely, for that is his way of show-
ing alarm. The only course that can
be pursued is to beat him oil with a
light club, for the first lesson for him
to learn is that it is not safe for bim
to attack men,
The trainer does not follow him,
but sits quietly down on a box or a
chair inside the cage, paying no par-
ticular attention to the beast, He sits
there for an hour or two—sometimes
three hours—at a stretch, This is done
to accustom the lion to the presence
of a man in its cage and to wear out
the beasts natural fear and fierceness.
This first lesson is repeated on the tel-
lowing day, and is continued for a
month.
Next the trainer takes a piece of
meat into the cage and, waiting until
the lion is )hungry, offers it on the 011d
of a long stick. Very likely the lion
will not touch it at first, perhaps not
for many days; or, if he seizes 11, his fully trusted,
manner evi11 not be such as to indicate
thankfulness, But by patience and
perseverance he will be induced by
and by to come and take his food from
the stick and eventually from the
trainer's }land. Not infrequently lto
will try to bite the hand that offers
the neat, but, generally speaking, it is
deemed a decided victory , when a
young lion will voluntarily approach
and take his food from the keeper's
hand,
Soon after this he will allow the
trainer to stroke his head, Toward a
stranger he may exhibit nearly or
quite as much ferocity ae at first,
The next stop is to put a chain
around the young fellow's neck and
lead him (Omit the cage; and intent

A very large number or men are cal'•

All being ready, the cable Ship pro-

the cable is to begin. The shore end
is landed, spliced on to the deep sea
portion, and connected up to a set of
instruments in a hut on tate shore,
Part of the electrical stafff is left in
this hut, and a series of signals is
passed to and fro between the ship
and the hut all the time that the cable
is being paid out. As 1110 cable often
