A cabman residing at Beaconsfield had a
narrow escape. Hearing the noise, he drove
down from Main street to seo the animals
rush out. He likens the scene to the exit
from Noah's ark. Anelephant came out
first, and a few seconds afterward tumbled
out a confused mob aliens, wolves, hyenas,
baboons, leopards, cheetahs, and jackals.
The wolves, with the instinct of their
race, immediately rushed upon Nelson's
horses, and two of the lions attacked them
also. Strange to say, they left the man
himself unmolested, and Ise managed to
climb up a post at Glover's Athletic Bar and
secure his safety in one of the rooms. When
last he saw his horses they were galloping
madly down the Dutoitspan road, snorting
and screaming with fear and pain, followed
by the wolves and two of the lions. The
remainder of the animals, Nelson says, dis-
persed in all directions ; but the man ap-
pears to be so unstrung by his terrible ex-
periences that nothing coherent can be ob-
tained from him. A little son of Mr. Grind-
ley, produce dealer, happened to be in the
back yard of his father's premises. He
noticed a cheetah which had taken refuge
there, and, with the fearlessness of child-
hood, walked up to it. His mother, from
her bed room window, saw the brute lay
her darling prostrate with one blow of its
paw, and then mangle bim beyond all reeog-

"That fellow seems to me more brute than

Both were silent for a moment, oc-

resumed the Professor thoughtfully, "will

honest as she is beautiful. It would pain me,
more than I can express, if she fell into bad

Richard groaned, and motioned with his
hand, as though he would have said: "Don't
hint at that; I cannot bear it."
"It would be a good deed to prevent it,
Thornton; to place her out of the reach of
evil fortune. What say you ?"
"I say the thought is the dream of a good
man."
"But it is not a dream, Richard," said the
Professor gravely, "since it may be realized.

being bad, instead of 10 to 40, which is the
usual percentage. An important factor in
this treatment is that vines which have been
subjected to it possess immunity from phyl-
loxera, and this points to a new means of
combating the microscopic diseases which
attack vegetable growth. It is suggested as
a weapon withwhich to fight the potato bug
and the army worm. The cost of the process
is comparatively small.
Four Sons, two lionesses, two tigers, three
hears, two wolves, one hyena, two cheetahs,
four jackals, one elephant, one camel, and
seventeen baboons are at large. Only two
of these animals have as yet -been accounted
for. Mr. Murchison, residing in Dutoitspan
road, having been awakened by the noise,
was looking out of his bedroom window,
and, seeing a jackal run across the yard,.
shot it dead with his revolver.
Mr. Goodchild was aroused by the shrieks
of his parrot, and, getting out of his bed to
see the cause, observed to his horror an
enormous lion crouching under the trees in
the front garden. With great presence of
mind he took down his Martini -Henry rifle,
and, firing through the window, shot it
dead.

made it a general favorite wherever it has

suggested that electricity be adapted to

A most remarkable development of the
multipeix telegraph has just been devised by
Lieut. F. Jarvis Patten, who has already
done yeoman's service in this field. The im-
proved system depends for its operation upon
the synchronous and uniform movement of
two or more electriemoters placed at distant
points, the synchronism being in this instance
not delicate, as it usually is, but powerful
and trustworthy. The possibilities of this ar-
rangement point to the wonderful conclusion
that with repeating stations at suitable inter-
vals and branches connected to the same
synchronizing circuit, an entire network of
linos and instruments can be operated with
the distributing betides from Maine to Cali-
fornia, kept on the same segments by the im-
pulses emanating from New York. Lieut.
Patten affords a brilliant instance of what
can be clone in an unfamiliar field by any one
who has the grit to concentrate himself upon
it. Lieut.;Patten was stationed out West with
his regiment. While onthe trackless plains,
where so many of the officers attempt to re-
lieve the tedium of the weary days by the
perusalof the lightest possible literature, and
