TWO QUEER ANIMALS
THE MARABOU AND TI^E HYENA OF
CENTRAL AFRICA.
Both Feed on Carrion, iind the Bird and Beaut Often Battle For Their Food—Fntryfilce flames That .Ire
Lilffhf UM Air. r^-
The ttgllej»t storks in the world are found in southern Asia and central Africa. Their flesh coloml head#are only partially covered with stiff, wiry feathers, and banging on the breast they hear a disgusting pouch, which answer# the purpose of a crop. On© of the largest of these storks is the marabou. It stalks about the great sandy plains of central Africa with a composure and lordly grandeur, as if it were the most beautiful bird in the world. Its body feathers are of a dull metallic green color and its wings and tail are dingy a chat with you.
black. Looking at the awkward creature, no one would suspect that under its ungainly wings it carrlcd the most exquisite and fairylike little plumes, so airy that it takes baskctfuls of them to weigh an ounoe. They are pure white, and so much desired for trimming that the bird is vigorously hunted by the natives, who sell these dainty feathers to traders for a very large price.
Hunting the marabou is attended with great difficulty, as the bird possesses won derfnl cunning, and often contrives to outwit the most skillful hunter. With laughable dignity it measures the ground between Itself and its pursuer and takes very good care not to exhaust itself by too rapid flight. If the hunter moves slowly, the bird at once adopts an equally easy pace, but if the hunter quickens his steps, the bird is off like an arrow. It is very difficult to got within gun range of this calculating creature, but the natives adopt a novel means of capturing it, which the bird, with all its astuteness, is unable to oomprehend and falls an easy victim. A tempting morsel of meat is tied to the end of along stout oord, which the skillful hunter flings to a great distance, as he would a lasso, the bait falling as near the fleeing bird as bo can aim it. He then conceals himself hastily behind a bush or crouches low on the sand. The marabou, which always keeps its eye on the hunter, teeing him vanish, quietly stops and devours the bait, when it is easily secured by the hunter, who runs toward it, colling the ropo as he goos.
The marabou feeds on carrion, like the vulture. Its throat is very large, and it will greedily eat everything that comes in its way. In the swamps and plains around Khartum on the Nile are immense flocks of marabous, and they are so daring as to come to the slaughter houses on the outskirts of the olty In search of food, and whole ox ears and shin bones with hoof attached have been found in the crops of specimens which have been killed.
This bird is a very skillful Usher. It haunts the low, marshy islands in the riv ers and lakes of central Africa, with ele phants, monkeys, flamingoes and many varieties of birds for its companions, and gains its prinoipal food from the water. They often go in companies of 10 to 18 to fish. Wading In the water, the birds form a circle, which they gradually draw togeth er, gathering tho frightened flsh in the oetnter of tho net, when with their long bills and quick movements they speedily provide themselves with a hearty meal.
Although marabou mammas have been seen proudly parading round with brood of diminutive downy young ones, so shy and retiring Is this bird In its do mestio habits that naturalists have been unable to determine when and how it builds its nest. Tho natives assert that it nests In high troes, but their statement 1* not oonflrined.
In captivity the marabou is lord of the inclosuro, and In zoological gardens, where specimens have boen confined, no other birds, nor oven small beasts, dare approach the feeding trough until the bun ger of this impudent bird is satisfied and it has retired to thq warmest oorner for a nap. Tho Immense strength of its bill makes it a formidable enemy, and when lighting for food It will often overcome the largest vultures, and wage suocessful battles with boasts of prey.
The hveua Inhabits the satno portions o( Asia and Africa as the marabou, and travelers give accounts of terrible contests Itetween these two singular members of the animal kingdom. The hyena it oalled tho vulture among beasts, as it prefers carrion (or its food, and long as it can find drad animals to devour it leaves the Books and herds In peace. Cowardly by nature, It rarely attacks man or beast unless driven to desperation by hunger.
The striped hyena inhabits the northern latitudes of Africa, Persia mid jSyrta, while tho spotted upcoius, which l» easily tamed, and is sometimos oalled hyena dog, Is found in large numbers in the vast plains of South Africa.
Tho hyena to a strange looking beast. It has a big head and a hoary, shaggy mane. Tho hind part of its body is much lover than its shoulders and its hind legs are short-. This odd formation gives it an awkward, shambling maimer of walking, which is both ludicrous and hideous.
This croatttrw rarely shows Itwlf by day. but when the shadows of night fall on the plains and forests it comes out from its home among the rooks and caverns in search of food. African travelers are much annoyed by it, When the camp is silent and all ana sleeping, the hyena oomes prowling round, uttoring hoarse human orl«S and should it fail to find sufficient eamp refuse to satisfy its hunger, some poor donkey is sure to be torn in pieoesi by Its terribly strong Jaws.
Few animal* tore been the subject of so much superstition. In ancient times It was believed that a dog went road if a hyena turned Its evil eye upon it, and tits beast was believed by many to be a wicked sorwrer. who went about In human form by day and at night aasumed the shape of hyena. The poor and ignorant peasantry of Arabia, even at the prevent day, believe in the evil jye of this beast and are afraid to shoot it fast they should incur the wrath of the winked spirit which they Imagine walks the earth in this ugly form.
The poor hyena, however, far from being an evil spirit* is a real blessing to the regions it inhabit*, as it Is a natural scavenger, provided by the kind wisdom of nature to olear the ground of luuc-h loathsome and decaying matter thereby rendering the air sweeter and purer and none healthful.—Kx change.

31. Kolojnan von Miksath, a distinguished Hungarian author and politician, tells the following story of the Emperor William, which was narrated to him by one of the actors in it:
Count Szoegyeny, the Austrian embassador in Berlin, was one morning dawdling over a late breakfast and reading the papers that lay in a pile before biro, when his valet burst into the room with I the startling news, "His majesty the em pewr." M. Szoegyeny barely hail time to S
meet the emperor on the threfiold. "I have come for a glass of beer," said his majesty, walking in and taking the most comfortable armchair he could discover. "How unexpected, and how fortunate for mo," wa3 the embassador's answer. "I have not seen you for along time," said the emperor, "and felt I want-
The conversation bad lasted some time when the baroness came in and took part in it. All at once the emperor took out bis watch and jumped from bis seat. "Saperlot!" be cried, "we have talked away all the time! Have you a telephone!'" "Does your majesty wish to have a a "No. Take hie to it directly." "But cannot I speak jln your majesty's place? "Certainly not," laughed the emperor. "I must speak to the empress and say good by to her. I am due at the station in an hour. I must leave for the maneuvers, and I cannot drive to the schloss, see the empress and reach the station in tiice. 1 will drlvo to the station from here, but I must excuse myself to my wife for not returning home before I leave."
Szoegyeny went to the telephone with the emperor, who did all the ringing and hello crying himself. Then he said: "Don't be angry, dear. I have chatted too long with Szoegyeny and must drive to the station from here, so I cannot give you my parting kiss, which I am sorry for. Good by, dear."—Berlin Correspondence.
WASP AS AN ENGINEER. 4
Bit o'f Insect Cleverness That Won Praise From Army Men. Several members of the United States engineer corps were Interested witnesses of a feat of Insect engineering near the road on wbioh they were working. One of their number found a blue ground wasp dragging along the ground a dead swamp spider one-quarter the size of a full grown tarantula. Whether the wasp killed the spider or found it dead is a question beyond solution. He was having a haid time dragging bis prey along, and presently left it to go prospecting for his abode. The discoverer of the wasp called his companions, and one of them coming stepped upon the wasp's ground hole, crushing down some blades of driod grass across it. This oaused no little trouble to the inseot, who, upon looating the hole, nipped away at the obstructing stalks with his strong mandibles until he had cleared a passage. Then he went back and sized up the spider, walking around the big body and surveying it from all sides. "He's reckoning that the hole isn't big -enough, said one of the-engineers. "That's all right. rfe'll fix it," said another as the insect went bock and commenced vigorously widening the entrance to his domicile.
Again he returned to the spider, seized it and dragged it to within afoot of the oriilce. To the spectators It was evident that moro work would have to be done be foro the spider could be dragged in. This strugk the wasp, too, for again he ran around the body, examining it carefully, and returned to the hole to take measure ments. He went to digging a second time. Having dug for two minutes, he brought his prey up to the edgo of the hole, nipped out a piece of dirt here, cut away a grass stem there, and after 16 minutes of hard and skillful labor disap pea red underground, dragging the spider after him. The engineers then resumed their work, exchanging comments of admiration.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
Voiced His Dislike.
A correspondent of the London Spectator says: VI send you an extract from Gunning's 'Reminiscences of Cambridge,'

good stories The tutor,' Cardinal Thorp (for so he was always called), was lecturing on the law of extreme necessity, which justified a man in disregarding the life of another to order to insure his own safety. He said: 'Suppose Ixjwther Yates (the master of the collego, Catharine Hall) and 1 were struggling in the water for a plank Whloh would not hold two and that he got possession of it. I should be justified in knocking bim off,' and he then added, with great vehemence, 'D—n him, and 1 would do it, too, without the slightest hesitation 1* (volume 1, page 18). It Is scarcely necessary to add that the turor had an Inveterate dislike to the master of the college."
Helen Fanclt'a Modesty.
Helen Fnucit was once asked by Tall is, the publisher, to send her portrait for publioation in his magazine. In oourte ously declining she said, "The public should know neither our features nor our fortune*, save in the exercise of our art.'' What would this great actress have said to the hall doors and entrances to modern theaters and fc shop windows, which for the most part are advertising picture galleries? But Helen Fauclt was unselfish also where her art was concerned. Tbone exist* a valuable letter, written to Ma crwuiy, in which she gracefully protests against the part of Violante in "The Wonder" was ill suited to her as a tragic actress, but she agreed to play it all the same.—New York Time*.

SAFE LOCK PUZZLES,
THE TROUBLE THAT IS CAUSED BY LOST COMBINATIONS.
A Remarkable Experience With a Screw Door Safe. WhleJh Defied the Assanlt* of the E*i»erts For Three
Darn and \iKSta.
Once a painter working in the Commercial totel slipped from bis ladder and in falling struck his foot against the knob
o{
I will take a oiga-
rette, if you please. And how is the baroness?" "Site will be here directly and will appreciate the honor of seeing your majesty in her house." "And how was your harvest in Hungary?" "Satisfactory, according to my brother's account."
Yhe' cffice safe,
The widely prevalent idea that a combination lock maybe opened "byear" is absurd, and the safe sharp who pretends to do it resorts to an ingenious method, called "backing up." He approaches a safe when the combination is "off," and by quietly turning the knob backward can tell by a slight obstruction when the first number is reached. The second is "picked up" the same way, and so on until, the cipher 1b in his possession, when he boldly announces that he can open the doors whenever be wants to. Many a man has been hoodwinked Into believing a good lock worthless by this simple dodge.
Sudden death is by no means responsible for all the lockouts. Sometimes one of those strange mental scissions, in which the overtaxed brain itself slips a cog, causes a busy man to forget for the time being one or more of the numbers. He may have opened the safe every morning for years and believed the combination to be as familjar as the face of his wife, but it has slipped away into the mysterious regions of oblivion, and the harder he thinks the less upt he Is to recall it.
Some years ago aNew Orleans merchant suddenly forgot the second number of his combination. He was in great distress, for be feared a mental breakdown, and,strange to say, be had the missing number associated in some manner with the, idea of stopping or pausing. "It has something to do with standing still," ho repeated over and over again to the bftfijed experts. At last he jumped up with a triumphant whoop. "I have it," he yelled. "It's 28. Don't you see, two-eight, to wait? I knew it had something to do with stopping."
One of the most remarkable lookouts on record occurred in 1892 in a small town in this state. A general merchant had what was known as a screw door safe, with a time luck, which got out of order. The door in a safe of this kind is circular and screws in, after whloh an automatio oontrlvanoe throws the bolts, which are released at a given hour by interior olockwork. The expert sent for in this particular case made the necessary repairs, but forgot to feplace a small bar concocting
the
clock and the look. Consequently
The safe contained a quantity of currency, several fine watches and a lot of diamond jewelry, and the owner was wild to have it opened. Then began a battle royal. The first'scheme of the experts was to bolt a long Iron bar to the door and then raise the safe by a taokle and let it drop. The theory was that the jar might cause the bolts to fly back long enough to enable the leverage pressure of the bar to start the screw. This was tried
••si. t' $•£ v* They then determined to break down the door itself. It was composed of many plates of steel hold together by a series of small bolts. A beam 25 feet long was swung from a derrick like a battering ram and burled end on against the front of the safe. Shifts of darkles were engaged to relieve each other at fixed hours, and the blows were, timed regularly, two to the minute. It was believed that vibration could thus be set up that would eventually jar out the tatfcs, and, incredible as it m*y seem, the assault was continued unceasingly three days and night*. The blows reverberated through the little town like salvos of artillery, and the whole country around turned iut to see the fun. Sleep was impossible, and one exasperated resident had actually applied for an injunction when the plate* at last sprung asunder.
The interior was a wreck. The watches had been literally torn to pieces. The damonda ware found wrenched bom tbdr settings and the currency reduced to rags by abrasion from flying particles. It had to be Motto the treasury for redemption.
When an expert Is oalled in by a business man wbo finds himself unabJetoopen his s»fe, be tries the plan, to begin with, of reverting the numbers given him. itI not infrequently happens that the owner has accidentally rearranged them In his mind, and In nine oases out of ten that prove* to be the fact. The forgetful man Is always ready to take oath that be has made no mistake until it is demonstrated before bis eyes that be has.—New Orleans TfmesDemocrat.

A few moments later
the clerk1attempted to open the doors, but found them immovable the blow had thrown "on" the combination. As usual in hotels where some one is continually on duty close at hand, the outer lock was rarely used. It was last employed so long ago that nobody could rem Sober the exact figures that governed it, and ap expert was sent for. In detective stories this individual would have placed his ear against the door, turned the knob a few times, smiled enigmatically and thrown back the bolts, but unfortunately such things don't really happen outside the works of Gabnriau. As a matter of fact, five skilled mechanics took turns at trying for some SO hours, and finally the makers were telegraphed to for the cipher.
Tho "sticking" of safe doors, as it is oalled oolloquially, is something that oocurs now and then in every city, and the most common cause is the sudden death of the man possessing the combination. Some cautious merchant tumbles over with heart disease or apoplexy, and bis safe is found locked as tight as a drum. In such cases there is only one thing to do. A hole Is drilled through the door, so as to give access to the mechanism, and the lock is then picked with a wire.
As burglars often employ the Same process it may be interesting to explain just how it is done, A combination lock consists of a series of disks, or"tumblers," each having a slot on the edge, and when these slots are brought into alignment a bar slides through and operates the bolts. By means of a hooked wire it is comparatively easy for an expert to revolve the disks until the slots are all in their correct positions, and that, in a nutshell, is the whole trick.
