WILD ANIMALS PHOTOGRAPHED IN PURSUIT OF PREY. Graphic Pictures of Living Animals Taken . by Cameras iu the Berlin Thinrgarten —BemarkabU Results of Instantaneous Photography.

V —I HE Germans are the most thorough peom pie in the world, a says the New York E*Ml| Pras. What they undertake to do at all they do exceedingly well. Although Muybridge, Irak an American, was the first man to deJjLll velop and perfect figS®)! photography of animal locomotion, showing the horse

in motion, the Germans have just produced finer results than Muybridge or any other man in the same line. The Berlin Zoological Garden is one of the finest in the world. Hamburg, ;which is close at band, is the lion market of the entire circus world. Connected with the “Zoo,” the Germans • 'have fitted ud a wide inclosure where wild animals could be uncaged with per-

sect freedom, and left in something of the freedom of their native jungle. Even live game has Jbeen supplied to them, so that the tingers and leopards and hunt .-for prey as'their natural dl»6ti nets dictated. If such an experiment were tried In Central Park thd Society for the Prevention ofvCruelty to (small) Animals would probablyTwvvo a worg '¥> say. But Ln Berlin Jhe pursuit Of VPWfcjedge was no t hampered,, and tjtife*. cameras, placed at proper intervals in the artificial jungles, caught the pic-

tures. They show the animals in the act of pouncing upon their prey. It is understood that the Zoo'ogical Society, of Philadelphia, has become interested jn the matter through the instrumentality of Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, who brought back from Berlin a series of photographs apd presented them to the society. The society may try reproductions of its own, following the German method The German photographer, not sat'sfied with catching the animals in some characteristic situation, iu a most doli-

eat© and artistic manner reproduced artificially the character of the country in which the animals abound. The lions, for Instance, in the photograph seem to be moving about on a sandy plain of enormous extent; the bears are represented on rocky ground, with mountain ravines in the distance: a chamois seems to be on the edge of a precipice, looking across to distant cliffs at some of its fellows, the bison standing on top of a roll of ground calmly surveying the extent before him. If not known one would think the pictures were the result of an amateur s snap shots taken in the wilds of Asia, Africa, Europe and America. An observer has been among tigers taking notes, and has given the results of his observations to the world. As a general rule, he is inclined to doubt the truth of the commonly accepted theory that the tiger, after lurking in ambush, springs on the unsuspecting victim, and, ' tearing savagely at his throat, eagerly drinks his blood. This method of attack may sometimes be adopted, but it is far more often the exception than the rule. In approaching his prey, the tiger makes the best possible use of cover.

but when further concealment is impossible he will course a deer or other swiftfooted animal with a quite extraordinary turn of speed. A da3h of 200 yards in the opQji is nothing uncommon, and author mentions the case of one tigress, «nth whom he says he was at one time

Should he bo unable to crush the spine with his jaws he will then jerk the head back violently and thereby break the neck. “I have examined,” he says, “hundreds of animals killed by tigers, and have never yet detected injury to the blood vessels of the throat, but invari-

ably marks attributable to the above mentioned method. ” In removing his prey the tiger frequently displays almost phenomenal strength and activity. In one case cited by the author, a young tigress leaped up a perpendicular 'rock some six feet high with a man weighing nearly eleven stone In her jaws, and on another occasion a male tiger dragged an exceptionally large buffalo up a bank at least ten feet high. Whether these anecijptes accord or not with the individual experiences of other shikaris, they are at least an interesting addition to the literature of the subject.

An Historic Bello t > Be Exhibited at tb« World’s Fair. The historic log cabin in St. Louis County, Mo., which the late Gen. Grant erected with his own hands, and with logs cut and hewn by himself, is about to be removed from its present site and shipped to Chicago, where it will be re-erected for exhibition at the World’s Fair. The cabin, says Frank Leslie's Newspaper, stands on an eighty-acre tract of land, on the Jefferson Barracks and Hock Hill road, about ten miles southwest of St. Louis. -The land was given to Mrs. Grant as a wedding pie3ent by her father, Mr. Frederick T. Dent, on the occasion of her marriage to the General, then Lieutenant Grant, Aug. 22, 1848. The cabiu was erected in the fall of 1854, just after Grant’s return from the Pa-

cific coast, and he lived there in comparative poverty for some years. The house, which is in a good state of preservation, is fifty feet long and twenty feet wide, and is divided into four large rooms, two on each floor, separated by an eight-foot hall in the center of the house, with a broad

staircase leading from the lower to the upper story. The two lower rooms have each a spacious old-fashioned fire-place, and each is lighted by two large windows. All of Grant’s children, except the two eldest, were bora in this cabin.

The "Wilmington (Del.) Star tells of a trustee unique for his honesty and disinterestedness. He was appointed trustee in 1872, at which time the estate was valued at about. $190,000. His final settlement show's, as a result of his manipulation, an estate valued at between SBOO,OOO and $900,000. In the course of the settlement the register allowed his masterly financier SII,OOO for his services, but he would not accept a penny. “Let my allowance go to the heirs,” he said, and then he added, modestly: a I didn’t do a 9 welt with the estate as I might have done.”

PROGRESS OF THE FAIR.

WORK THAT IS DOING FOR THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. Extent of the Preparations that Are Being Made in Our Own and Other Countries for the Great Vtorld’s Exhibit at Chicago 'led iu short Paragraphs. Guatemala will ssnd Its national band. Japan will spend $500,000 upon its exhibit The American Indians want to be represented. A herd of eighty-five buffalo will be exhibited. An extensive display of postage stamps may be expected. Manx of the foreign nations will erect buildings v of their own. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union intends to make a notable exhibit Peru has appropriated $25,000 to defray the expenses of making its exhibit Theodore Thomas, it Is announced, will be musical director of the Exposition. 1 It is next to certain that the Exposition will be open evenings, In all of its departments. ” ■ The Directory lias called -for plans and estimates for lighting, by electricity, all of the buildings. A Boston Orchestra composed of young women has ottered to furnish music at the Women’s Building. Thirty acres in the northern portion of J ackson Park ha\ e been reserved for sites for State buildings. The fine arts "building, which will cost about SOOO,OOO, will stand In the northern portion of thq grounds. Kwong Wo Quiong, a Chinese merchant in Hong jjfonifc has applied for space for an exhibit of Chinese goods. The people of New Mexico intend to raise $75,000 to add to the Territory’s World’s hair appropriation of $25,000. KansAs,- ’which defeated its World’s Fair appropriation, is' "how trying to raise $150,000 with vyhicli to make an exhibit. It is proposed to light both the buildings and grounds so brilliantly that everything can be seen at night as well as by day. An exhibit from Alaska will be collected under the auspices of the Government’s Indian Bureau and Geological Department. An enterprising Nebraska man says that he will take to the Exposition a crowd of 50,000 school children from Omaha and vicinity. The opening ceremonies will be extended through several days, and seme 15,000 militia and United btates troops, it is expected, wi.l participate. Lieut. Little, of the Navy Department, has sailed for Europe to complete the plans for reproducing the caravais which formed the lieet of Columbus.

An appropriation of $150,000 has been made by* the Exposition directjry, for the expense of the ceremonies attending the dedication of the buildings, Oct. 12, 1892. One hundred thousand soldiers gathered from the regular army and national guard would make an euective feature of the Fair, so General Miles thinks. CoMPLfIfrELY equipped police station and fire engine house will be erected at once, and the city will furnish them with a full complement of apparatus and men. As soon as they can be prepared 100,000 copies will be issued of a fine water color lithograph representing a bird’s eye view of the Exposition buildings and grounds. Ohio, which has an appropriation of SIOO,OOO to spend on its exhibit, intends to put about a quarter of it into a building, which will be made the State headquarters on the grounds. One of the interesting objects which wi.l be exhibited is a table, made from the timber of the house in Funchal, Madeira, in which Co uinbus lived for a time before ho began his voyages of discovery. The sum of $150,000 has been appropriat d by the Exposition directory for the construction of a pier exteding 1,500 feet or more into Lake Michigan at Jackson Park, and for an ornamental casino at its extremity. At a meeting of representatives of various religious, benevolent and reformatory organizations held recently In New York for the purpose, a committee of five was chosen to arrange, if possible, for the erection of a separate building at the Exposition in which can be shown the mothods and results of every description of religious, missionary and philanthropic work in this country.

Laughable or Logical.

Soda fountains are a fizzical necessity. Members of a boating club should always be true to its scullers. Athletes say it is easier to jump a board fence than a board bill. Character is to intellect what a locomotive is to a train of cars. Time wasted in fault-finding can be better employed seeking profit. Never ask a woman her age, unless you desire to witness her rage. Misery travels on a free pass; happiness always has to pay for a ticket. A vulgar merchant is a gross sir, and a vulgar woman is a gross her, too. Adam was proudly conscious that he never made a mistake in his boyhood. A great financier is a thief who succeeds. A thief is a great financier who fails. It seems odd that a flying debtor should cross the ocean to avoid the bill-owo*. It is an unblushing fact that the rosy cheeks of the modern city belle are dne to art. Wren a man despairs of success, the devil will be on hand with words oi encouragement? Another mastodon has been found in a swamp in New Jersey.’ Applejack has not been abolished yet in that State. An enterprising New Hampshire woman has been drawing fonr pensions as Mrs. Smith, which was not her name at aU. A duelist never selects a seoond without hoping that he may prove to be the man for the hour. Make a minute of this. '

Sleep for School Children.

We all know how .much greater Is the need of sleep for chlldron than for grown persons, and how nocessary for their good it Is tybe fible fully to satisfy this need; but Bow great lb is generally at any particular age of tho child is very hard to define exactly. The amount varies under different climatic conditions. In Sweden \ye consider % sleep of eleven or twelve hours necessary for the younger school chtMreo, ?s*d of at least eight er nine for the older ones. Yet the investigations have shown that this requirement lacks much of being met in all the classes through the whole'fchool. Boys in the higher olassdt get little more than seven* hours in bed, and this is the average, ft Is easy tp. pprcelv'e that m&ug of them must content themselves with still less sleep. It is also evident from investigations that the sleeping timo is diminished with tho increase of the working hours from class to class, so that the pupils of the same age enjoy less, according as they are higher in their classes. It thus appears constantly that in schools of relatlve’y longer hours of work the sleeping time of the pupils is correspondingly shorter. In short, the prolongation of the working hours takes place at tho cost of the time for sleep. —Science Monthly.

A Bum Subject.

Have you the tired feeling? It Is because yon have been humming. Nice people bum as well as toughs. It is supposed thatrnice people go to bod at 10 o'clock, but very often they do not; very often they cat lunches at 13 o’clock, and then sit up until 2 to let the cheese and things “settle ” This sort of a bum Is worse than a whisky drunk. (If you must get drunk, drink only good whisky: champagne and wine of every kind splits the head. Beer Is about tho worst thing you cai»drink, with the exception of champagne. If you drink too much beer, It enlarges your liver, until It rubs up against your ribs ) The tired feeling you hear people talk about is the result of this nice bumming. There are many nice bums in Atchison, and they bum at nice houses, and there should be a crusade against them. When a bad man bums, he is ashamed of it, and tries to reform, but your nice bummer imagines that he is in scciety, and Your riice bummer has a weak stomdeb, which is worse than a- beer liver. .The nice bum, although not so hideous to look at, is worse than the regular bum against which, people are warned.— Atchison Globe.
