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.

FISH THAT IS NOT AFRAID.
Pike Darted. at Man's Hand—An-

The boldness of ti pike is very extra-
ordinary. I have seep one follow a bait
within a foot of the spot where I have
been standing, and the head keeper of
Richmond 1:'aric assured me that he was
once washing his hand at the side of a
boat ;in the: frac. pond in that park
when a pike; mt edea dart at it and he
had just time lo 'withdraw it.
A gentlerp,aii nuw residing at Wey-
bridge in httsrey udprmed me that walk-
ing one clay lir the side of the River
Wey, near that :awn, he saw a large
pike in a shallow creek. He immediately
pulled off his coat, tucked up his
shirt sleeves end went into the water to
intercept tike le turn of the fish to the
river' and tie endeavor to throw it upon
the bank bee getting his hands under it.
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.

"I want to tell you that without

Not the Voices of the Sea.
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

I heard (reflecting for a minute) ora

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 original Kavol Kowates pipe, the
world's first meerschaum, is still preserv-

gen after spending two years of explora-

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-
