The Herald, 1908-09-18, Page 21YS CAL!WREC1 r --- AUTO FOR TIGER HUNTING. Supplanting the Elephant and How- dah With Princes of India. No preparations nave now to be made when the news of a tiger roaming in a jungle is brought. Petrol, and not a howdah, is the thing to be cared for. A few minutes drive brings the hunter and the tiger face to face with each other. News came' in the other day of a tiger roaming on the banks of the Sindh near Ucher, a village some fourteen miles from Matic City. The Maharajah ac- cordingly motored out to the village with his staff on the 13th. That day was devoted simply to observing the movements of the tiger. A goat was tied up and was duly slain by the tiger, who, making for the river bed, and placing his prey on the sand close to the water, entered the cool pool and bathed and gambolled for some time, Having thoroughly enjoyed himself, he came out, and after feasting in the clear moonlight took his way back to the jungle. Next day the Maharajah sat up for the tiger. The beast returned to his feed, and had just caught the goat by the right ear when the Maharajah fired, hitting the tiger in the head, the first bullet proving fatal. aiwiththe goat held l tiger rolled. over on the e g fast in his jaws. Early in the morning the Maharajah returned in his motor car, with the dead tiger placed in the rear seat, the goat still hanging in the tiger's mouth. So fast was the grip that the goat did not fall down, though the motor was run at full speed. It was a very strange sight to see the slayer and the slain driving and driven together and the goat hanging in the jaws of the dead tiger.—Calcutta Statesman.

During this. attempt the pike, finding he oould not make his escape, seized one of the arms of the gentleman and lacer- ated it. so much that the wound is still very visible. -From the Fishing Gazette. Petroleum for European Locomotives. Consul General Norman Hutchinson, of Bucharest, reports that several high officials of the Austrian railways have arrived in Roumania for the purpose of studying the question of petroleum as a railway locomotive combustible. The consul general adds: If it is found that the use of petro- leum as a locomotive combustible is working satisfactorily upon the Rou- manian railways, it is intended to intro- duce the use of petroleum upon the Aus- trian railways. It appears to the writer that petroleum seems to answer the purposes for the making of sufficient steam, and does away with coal dust and cinders; ori the other hand. the odor of the smoke issu- ing from the locomotive is offensive to many persons, while others consider it more or less healthy. Wires in the Moulding. "In the equipment of one of the newest ihdeel buildings& in New York the picture ,moulding has been ingeniously made use of as a. means of carrying low-tension iI.ectrie wires through the various suites of rooms. In order that the moulding would be large enough to carry these wires and not be unsightly, it is backed by a wooden strip one inch thick, and this has been hollowed for a depth of cane -half inch. At each column there ^:re telephone outlets, with conduit ex- tending to the nearest sub -panel. Risers for telegraph ticker and messenger ser- -dee are run in pipes at the locations of sub -panels, there being one pipe line for each panel. Wigg—"Miss Antique is laying for you.'

A lecturer, who has covered the great- er part of the country in delivering his instructive and entertaining discourses on travel, tells this story to prove that illusions are essential to human happi- ness: He remained overnight with,.tiie chairman of the entertainment commit- tee after delivering a lecture in a sea- phore town on Long Island. In the early morning he was awakened by the sound of a suction pump in violenty,action; but he dozed off again after noting that there was a high wind and a storm threatening from off the neighboring sea. A.t the breakfast table he asked: "Didn't I hear a. pump working th' morning, or was I dreaming?" "Why, yes," answered his host. "M father-in-law is an old sailorman, an when we get a little water in the cellar he delights in pumping it out. This lois had been idle three years, till we cam alone and bought it for the very reaso that others rejected it for. With father a little thing like water in the cella, was really an advantage." "Indeed!" remarked the lecturer. "Btl besides -the noise of the pump I though I heard (reflecting for a minute) ora yes!

A large piece of meerschaum was brought to Pesth by Count Andrassy in 1723. It had been given to the Count in Turkey. He fetched it home because as a pieec of white clay of extraordinarily light specific gravity it pleased him. Kayo' Kowates was noted in Pesth for his skill in carving, and Count Andrassy took this chunk of light, white clay to him and said: "Make, fellow, something pretty out of this.” The ingenious Kavol, a great smoker, thought that the porousness of the white clay adapted it well for pipes, and ae- cordingly he made two from it, one for himself and one for Count Andrassy. The pipes were charming and they smoked superbly. The fame of them spread. In course of time meerschaum mining and meerschaum pipe making be- came two of the recognized industries of the world.

The Denise explorer, Captain Ejnar Miltl:elsen, recently arrived in Copenha- gen after spending two years of explora- tion in the waters which lie to the north of Alaska, his object being to find out whether a deep sea lies in that region or a stretch of land. He and his compan- ions sailed 50 miles off the Alaskan coast, and when they sounded for bot- tom, could find none; 00 miles further they had the same result. They then turned to the southeast and succeededin finding bottom, which they followed to the east until forced to turn back on ac- count of the swiftness of the current. An Unintended Knock.
