The lion was lying wounded, 'some distance below him, as Captain Stigand thought, in the darkness. It sprang right on him from close quarters, and as he fir- ed into its che4t, the animal seized his left term. "I neXt found myself lying on my back," writes Captain Stigand, "Che lion was worrying my left arm, and my rifle stili lay in my lab hand, underneath his body. I acrambled round, with my left arm alibi in his mouth, until I was kneelin,g beside Min. Then I began to pommel him on the back of the neck with my right fist. He gave ms a final drake, quickly turned round, and disappeared in the grass. I reloaded and covered him, but could not see him clearay enough to fire.

Likely to Work Revolutions in Artificial Lighting, The ecacalled half -watt lamp, re- cently pat on the market, seems likely to work a revolution in a.rti- fimal lighting, says the New York Evening Post. It is, it will be re- membered, an incandescent electric bulb containing as closely -wound spiral of tungsten, which glows in an atmosphere of nitrogen or other inert gas. The bulb, instead of being far below atmospheric pres- sure, as is the ordinary incandos- 'cent bkdb, remains at about alums- pheria pressure. The remarkable efficiency of this lamp is -the thing that renders its gradual perfecting at the Schenectady laboratories of the General Electric Company a feat of smolt great importance. When the plain tungsten filameat lamp superseded the old carbon fil- ament device as few years ago, it was haiied as ana,rking a new epoch isa electric lighting. The carbon alms -lent stonsumed three to four watts per candle power' the tung- sten filamentafrons 1 toVA. The half -watt lamp is twice as efficienib as the ordinary tungsten filament tamp. Its intrinsic brilliancy is about eight times as great. It is expeeted that it can be used to re- place the are light in many places with an actualsaving of expense, due bo the decreased cost of main- tenance. ' The new lamp has one disadvan- tage in that a largo filament, is necessary tasprovent a too rapid lose of heat, it having been found that with a small filament the rapid heat loss actually reduced the efficiency despite the higher temperature of the tungeten. It is for this reason, apparently, that the filaments of the, • high-temperature 'half -watt" lamps ale made in the form of a closely - wound helix; and that lamps of 000 candle-power and upward are the only ones on the market.

Iv ANTS TI1AT WALK ON NVATEff Sugar Will Induce Them to Dart Almost Anything. Every dweller in the tropics hal learned, probably from bitter ex- perienCe. that when ants appear, his poseessions are liable to disap- pear. His only protection against the destructiee. creattues is water. If, for instance, he puts the . • legs of a refrigerator in bowls of water,. the contents of the ice chest are supposed to be immune feam the hungry ants. Bub, says a writer in' Cosmos, recent observations show that water is not all an insurinount- able obstacle to ants. They know very veil how to woos a body of water by raceme of the thee tentiorr of the liquid. It 15 a,n undertaking, however, that has its dangers, and they do not attempt it except in eases of abso- lute necessity, or when they are driven by an irresistatble desire to attain aome particularly succulent article. Monsieur Willis, of the Botani- cal Garden of Rio de Janeiro, re- cently noted a curious InsitanCe of ants walking on water. A fly trap was baited with sugar; unfortun- ately, ants are as fond of sugar as flies; they came in hordes and car- ried off the bait, Then the trap, freshly baited, was placed on ,a, cup, d the_ ancup was sat initha raicktle Of a, large plate filled with water. The ants retarnea in as great num- bers as before; for a time they trooped round the rim of the plate searehing for an easy way of reach- ing thc sugar. Finally, when they had given hp hope of finding a pas- sage by dry land, they launched themselves out op the surface of the water. After a few seconds a long, unbroken line of ants was bearing bits of the precious trophy from the trap over the water to the shore. .ova Scotia Case of Born of a French father and a , Greek mother, he has always had the ' Interest to All Women greatest veneration for the Hellenic race.
