REVENGE TAKEN BY ANIMALS.
Story on Record of Huge Mastiff That
Killed Thoughtless Groom at
First Opportunity.
Careful observers have put on rec-
¢2d some very extraordinary instances
cf dogs and other animals which have
remembered injuries put upon them,
and have eventually retaliated, says
London Answers.
There is a terrible story on record !
of a dog, a huge mastiff, kept as a
watchdog by a Staffordshire gentle-
man. The great brute was kept
chained in the stable yard, and during
the very hot weather one of the
grooms, noticing the creature panting
with heat, threw a bucket of cold wa-
ter over him.
A week later the dog was loose
when the same man entered the yard.
He sprang upon him and caught him
by the throat and killed him.
A touching little episode happened
a few years ago in a Worcester vil
lage. A boy was the proud owner of
a very handsome pair of fox terriers,
named Mick and Jerry. Jerry went off
one day into a wood near by and
tackled a badger, which killed him.
Raymond, his master, went out to look
for him, but could not find him. But
two days after Mick was found mourn-
ing over the dead body of his com-
panion.
He was brought back. One day he
did not return. His master searched
and found him laying dead, his teeth
in the throat of the badger, which
was also killed.
An amusing incident was that of an
Indian elephant whose revenge on a
new mahout whom he took a dislike
to was rather funny. He picked him
up and deposited him in the branches
of a thorn tree.
NO NEED FOR FURTHER TALK |
Argument Had Convinced Man That
Arctic Expedition Was Just the
Place for Him.
A middle-aged man, with what ap-
peared to be a load on his mind, visit-
ed the arctic steamer just before it
started on the expedition, and seemed
greatly interested in what he saw.
“Say,” he said to the officer on deck,
“I'd like to go with you on this ex-
pedition of yours.”
“It's awfully cold up there,”
marked the officer, discouragingly.
“YI don't care for that.”
“You have very little to eat, and
you might starve to death.”
“That wouldn't be pleasant,”
served the visitor.
“I should say not,” returned the
officer. “And you might be eaten by
your comrades.”
“And then,” con‘inued the officer,
“you wouldn't see your wife for three
years, and possibly longer. You know
you can’t take her with you.”
“Oh!” returned the would-be ex-
re-
plorer, after # long pause, “then you
can put my name down on your books.
Your last argument captures me.”
France Seeks Mauritius.
|
There is a movement in France to
ask Great Britain for the return of
Mauritius, the Beloved Isle of France,
which was lost in 1810. It is contend-
ed that, in spite of being under Brit-
ish rule for over a hundred years, the
island is still essentially French, and
that the people desire union with
their mother country.
|
Great Britain has no particular rea-
son for keeping the island, says the
Newcastle Chronicle. It has no stra-
tegic or economic importance, nor has
it any sentimental associations, so far
as Great Britain is concerned. For the
French, on the otRer hand, it is the
place to which many of their nobles
emigrated, and is the island which
Bernardin St. Pierre immortalized in
his idyl, “Paul and Virginia.”
|
The islanders gave proof of their
feeling for France by sending many
of their sons to fight in the French
army.
Safe Light for Miners,
Nowadays the up-to-date miner car-
ries a package of electricity
vith him while underground. It is a
small storage battery attached to the
back of his belt, and is connected by |
“a cord with a lamp fastened to the
front of his cap. The lamp, provided !
with a reflector, throws quite a flood '
«of light in front of the miner. But its
chief advantage is absolute safety. In
olden days miners (who must, of
course, have light) carried about with
them open-flame lamps. These caused
innumerable disastrous accidents
through ignition of cdal dust or gases.
Sir Humphry Davy’s invention of a
safety lamp whose flame was protected
by a wire gauze saved an immense
number of lives. It is in common use
today, but the electric mine lamp is
better and more convenient.
Death Took Old and Young.
During the war the London Times,
either wittingly or unwittingly, pub-
lished innumerable items about the
very old men and women in the Brit-
ish empire who were dying off. Their
great age, their longevity, formed a
raelancholy contrast to the slaughter
of youth then going on in Europe. Dur-
ing six months in 1918, 312 persons
over one hundred years old died in the
British isles, but the figures of young
men who fell during that time before
the guns of the enemy and who dled
with influenza mounted toward a mil-
lion. Not one of the old, be it said
td passing, died from “flu.”
