Dancers Fared hy Sportsmen Wha
Hunt Them.
Men who have shot the “big cats of
the Indian jungle" all emphasize the
dlffeheuce lietweru an "ordinary tiger"
and a "man eater." One varies from
the other as much as a domestic pussy'
from a wildcat. The man eater when
It catches sight of a hunter is at once
ull aflame with the passion to devour
him. It has tasted human flesh and
knows Its sweetness.
When the Britisher in India goes ti
ger hunting, therefore, he looks first of
all to Ills own safety. Having learned
that a tiger rarely looks upward, he
seeks a position at some distance from
tlie ground, as, for Instance, the how-
dali of an elephant or u inacliau or leaf
covered box pepched In n tree.
The tiger usually keeps its eyes on
! tlie ground because It linds its prey
there and Its enemies also. The natu
ral lulialiitauts of the trees, tlie birds
and tlie monkeys, It bolds In contempt.
But on the ground, besides the sweet
fleshed man. lives the water buffalo,
Its most formidable foe. In combat tlie
buffalo most times kills the tiger.
The peculiar sagacity of the elephant
Is of great usslstauce to the limn who
hunts tigers from tlie howdah. Al tlie
approach of the big cat the pachyderm
trumpets an alarm, uud if properly
trained It will snutch its master with
its trunk, should lie lie on tin* ground,
and lift him Into tlie howdah on Its
hack. It then seeks the shadow of
some tree and stunds perfectly still, as
If knowing that in litis way it will
steady the hunter’s aim.
When one shoots tigers from tlie
niiiclinn, or tree ambush, lie usually
[ticks a place where the beast Is wont
to retreat when alarmed. Witli a com
panion lie hides himself Iu Ills nest. In
ills limit] lie holds a inagn/Jue rifle
loaded and cocked, while ill ills belt lie
carries a half dozen pistols for Instant
use should tlie gtm fail him. Then in*
sends out a score or more of natives
ns heaters to drive (lie lienst toward
him. Encircling tlie region, tlie heaters
begin lo nip on tlie trees and to shout,
and these noises because of tlinlr
strangeness, frighten tlie animal.
Yet when neither the howdah nor tlie
inachiiii is available the tiger hunter
wlll seek the shelter of only a steep,
high rock. A captain of tlie Iialiau
army recently killed u huge man eater
with only a rock for refuge.
"The very evening that I slew Hie
beast," lie said, in telling of Ids ad
venture, “the creature had devoured n
woman returning lo tlie village with
a bundle of wood she had cut in the
Jungle. Only mi anklet and same locks
of hair wore left to tell of her fearful
fate. The villagers culled me foolish
for trying to kill the brute, for they
said lie would prove too cunning. Man
eaters, they said, were far more cun
ning than tigers that had never tast
ed human flesh. After they had sacri
ficed to their god. however, they be
en me more hopeful. Tlie beaters went
out to drive him toward me. It seem
ed most likely he was lying under a
great Dunyan tree not very far away.
Meantime I perched myself on a rock
high over a stream. Boon 1 heard
fleree screams and knew that tlie heat
ers had found the tiger at home and
were driving him toward me, A mo
ment later he crashed through the un
derbrush a hundred feet away. There
he stopped, his great tongue lolling
from his cavernous mouth. Hearing
the noise coming nearer, he slunk to
ward the stream. . My first bullet
caught him In the flank. It only an-
gered him, and, lifting Ids head, lie
glared at me with blazing eyes. It
was tlie tlrst time he had si-en me.
The sight of a limn seemed to drive
hint mad. With a tierce roar lie leaped
upon me, hut Just as he rose in that
spring which meant the death of either
one of us my second bullet pierced his
heart, and he fell in a heap at the bot
tom of the rock." *

The Acorn.
The male flowers of the onk nre gath
ered In distant clusters round a long,
swaying stalk. They approach much
nearer to the conventional ldeu of n
flower individually. Instead of being
a mere aggregation of anthers or pollen
cells on simple scales those of the onk
are possessed of distinct stnrlike, hairy
calyxes, each marked off into six or
seven lobes and containing ten slender
stamens, with two celled anthers.
Then the female flowers, which aro
usually two or three, near each other,
hut not connected, consist each of nil
ovary, with three short curved styles,
and Invested hy a calyx that adheres
closely to it and becomes the husk, or
shell, of the acorn. Tlie whole, except
the styles, is held in a cup formed of
many small overlapping scales, which
afterward lose tlieir individuality and
shrink Into mere roughness on the out
side of tlie cup ttint holds tlie acorn,
for only one of tlie six ovules contain
ed in the ovary develops into an acorn
(seed or corn of the no, or oak).

The Day They Celebrate.
In the last issue of the Herald!
and Advertiser the editor furnish
es the information that “The
Fourth of July will soon la* here”
and asks the all important ques
tion, “How shall we celebrate!”
I suggest that he celebrate in the
same old way; don’t change the
brand; try to sit steady in the boat;
make another change or two in his
choice for governor between now
and that time; apply hot baths to
the feet and ice to the head, and
he will come ’round again all right.
Yours for Joe Hill Hall, Big Jim
Smith, Little Dick Russell and
most principally for Clark Howell
or anybody to l>eat Hoke Smith.

Repeatedly, at wide intervals of time,
tlie British ishind^linvc beet, tlie scene
of great and long continued volcnno
outbursts. In almost every part are
traces of volcanic energy of one form
or another. Snowden, Cnder-ldris,
Seawfell. Helvellyn, the Wrekin, Dart
moor and tlie Cornish hills are a few
of tlie remains of such eruptions as
have formed Vesuvius. There have
boen others where tlie lava has come
welling through great fissures In the
i earth’s crust, flooding it with seas of
liquid fire, which as they cooled solid!
fled into rocks, sometimes hundreds,
sometimes thousands of feet iu thick
ness. Tims were formed the basaltic
plateaus of Antrim and the Shetlands
and the great Cleveland dike, with a
total length of l!k) miles. Then, again,
separate outbreaks have flung up such
records as the Bnss rock uud the bill
on which Edinburgh castle standi.
