Wilmess of a Wildcat as the
Trapper Read it in the Snow.
BULLET STOPPED LEAST
The Stalking of a Cccr Told by tho
Tracks. Planning (or the Vantage
Ground and Watching the Time to
Strike. Man Wiser Than Wildcat
in the End.
"Talk of the intelligence and tact
thnt wIM anlmnls mnnlfust in stalking
prey," said A. W. Stevens of McKeau
County. Pa., "I never heard or read
cf a more striking instanco of It than
one that fame under the observation
of Leroy I,ymnn, a noted woodsman of
northern Pennsylvania.
"After a fall of snow he was going
into the woods to set a trap, when he
came to tracks in the snow. In an old
wood road, which he recognized as
those of a wildcat. The trail kept
along in the road for some dMtance,
when It turned off at a sharp angle
and entered tho woods.
"Tho tracks led straight as a chalk
line In the direction of one of the big
hemlocks. Lyman followed It, and was
surprised to find t lint It ended at tho
tree, with the impression of one of the
wlldcut's feet in the snow, a foot or so
ofT the trail, neur the tree trunk.
"The wildcat had not climbed the
tree. There was no other growth Into
or upon which It could have leaped.
What had become of It whs a mystery.
"After studying the bltuatlon awhile,
Lyman believed that in that, single
footprint apart from tho trail, at the
tree trunk, he saw the solution of
the puzzle. When he examined the
trail closely, he was sure of It. for he
discovered that each track bore the
marks of two of he wildcat's fiv-t.
The animal had returned to the road
by taking Its trail back and that with
out turning In Its trncks. Then Ly
man knew that the wildcat was on the
scent of game, and to secure It had
been obliged to resort to careful
tactics.
"Following the trail back to the
road, he found that the wildcat had
continued along It for about twenty
yards, to a spot whore the ground at
the side of the road was two feet or so
above the road's level, and thorn It
had turned and climbed back into the
woods, behind another hemlock tree.
Beyond this tree and In lino with it,
at a distance of a few ynr Is, was an
other hemlock, and about the same
distance apart, straight in line, were
two more. A rod or so beyond the last
tree In the lino lay a big log, against
which the snow had drifted to tho top.
"Tho wildcat's trail led from the
first tree of the row of hemlocks to the
second, around which it followed, close
to the trunk, nnd so on to the second
third and fourth. From the fourth,
as the trail indubitably showed In the
snow, tho wildcat had crept low to the
bottom of the drift against the log,
and then along it and around to one
end. Tliero the scatered snow told
tho unmistakably story of a leap from
that point of vantage, gained by tac
tics startllntdy human in tho calcula
tion and judgment with which they
were executed.
"Tho snow on the opposite aide of
the log was torn up and scattered
about and covered with deer hair and
blood. It is rare for a wildcat to at
tack prey as big as deer, but this one
was evidently made desperate by hun
ger. A mound of snow a few feet
away showed that the wildcat had
won In the attack, for under It Lyman
knew the beast had buried such of the
deer as was left after it had satisfied
Its hunger.
"When he uncovered the mound he
found the remains of a doe. The
ground was bare on the lee Bide of the
log, and there the deer had been lying
when surprised and overcome.
"To the woodsman It was plain that
the wildcat had scented the deer from
the road, and laid plans for its cap
Mire. Stealing in as far as the hem
lock tree to which its trail first led,
tho animal had kept the trunk of the
tree between it and possible discov
ery by its intended prey, netting to
the tree, and still careful not to ex
poso Us body, the wildcat had found
It necessary to reconnoitre to discover
the position and location of Its game,
eo as to decide on the safest tactlci
to adopt in getting within capturing
distance of It.
"To do this the wildcat had peered
around tho tree trunk, during which In
spection it had put one paw out In tho
snow to steady itself, making tho sepa
rate track near tho tree. This steulthy
glance had evidently satisfied the
wildcat that further advance In that
direction was out of the question, for
beyond the hemlock there was no pro
tection against discovery. So the wily
animal had backed cautiously over Its
trail to and along the' road, backing
In order that It might keep Its eyes
In the direction of the spot where it
had located Its prey, thus to detect
any suspicious movement It might
make, and note the result.
"Its plan was to seek the row of
hemlock trees that offered It such
strategic advantage.
"But with all its cunning, the cat
was no match for the wiles of the trap
per who had read the story of its wis
dom in those tracks In the snow. Ly
man replaced the snow In the muti
lated remains of the deer, and set his
trap as he know how, knowing that
when the wildcat hungered again it
would return to the feast.
"It returned that very night, and
next morning Lyman found It In the
trap, but although thus hopelessly a
prisoner It was gnawing at the deer's
carcass. Ho stopped Its feast with a
bullet"
WORLD'S OLDEST INDUSTRY.
Manufacture of Oun Flints Still
Used In Africa and Asia.
Probably the oldest rstnldlnhid busi
ness lu the world is at llmiiduii, in Suf
folk, where the iiiainifiirtuio of guu
flints has been carried on as the suc
cessor to the prehistoric lnaniilai t uro
of arrow heads from the same mate
rial. It is estimated that for more tn la
ten thousand years flint worMui; na.-t
been carried on at thai spot; the only
change made since those early day-! Ly
ing In the Introduction of metal tools
for working tho (lints in place of the
stone and horn of tho average.
(inn flints are still In use in various
parts of Asia and Africa, where the
possession of percussion cartridges is
forbidden to the natives. The average
weekly production Is still 150,000,
though In the days when the flint lock
was the universal arm millions were
turned out weekly, since Brandon Is
noted as producing the best flints made.
Oun flints are not the only product,
however, for In Latin Kuropo tho
"strlke-a-Ilght" is still given the pref
erence over matches, and of these about
twenty thousund a week are manufac
tured for the Italian and Spanish trade.
During the Hoer war 14,000 flints were
Issued to the British troops and were
found valuable in emergencies where
the ordinary match would not have
served.
The strata of flint are In five layers
on Linfcheath Common, a mile south
east of the village. Bach miner works
by himself, employing the same meth
ods as were followed by the earlier
workmen, the ground being uncovered
in layers or "steps," that the dirt may
he carried away without the use of
windlass and buckets.
The product Is sold to the chlppers,
who work at their homes In the village.
In spite of the fact that each blow of
the hammer is from a different angle
and is struck with various force, the
workman Instinctively guides the chisel
and the flakes fall into the baskets in
an almost continuous Mirain. They
are shaped with a chisel-like hammer
on a block of Iron and are then packed
into barrels containing from 5,000 to
20,000 each.
Child Marriages In India.
More than 250,000 girls In India, 5
years of age or less, were already mar
ried when the last census was taken,
and of these necessarily many have
become widows. Between 5 and 10
years the number of married girls was
well over 2,000,000, between 10 and 15
years it had risen to nearly 7,000,000.
Of course, to the girls in the first two
categories marriage meant nothing
more than a contract entered into for
them by others, long before they them
selves were capable of understanding
It; many of them had been bound by
engagements whin they were still chil
dren Ja arms; tome had even been be
trothed before they were born.
Most of tho widows of such tender
years become so before they know what
widowhood means. It Ij only as they
grow out of infancy that they learn the
sad life to which they tire condemned,
a life of misery which is imoacelvabla
to people of western countries, yet is
euforccd by Hindoo customs. It is a
life of hardship, of unmerited shame, of
Irksome penances and of wearUome at
tendance at religious functions.
Though the English law in India
would recognize the legality of a re
marriage of these youthful widows, in
exorable custom forbids it and its oc
currence is rare. There were in India
In 1U01 nearly -ll.T,,ooo widows under 15
years of age, of which nearly 20,0u0
were less than 5 years old.
Measuring Eye Jumps.
We know that an eye, at ordinary
reading distance, takes in about one
inch of a line at a time, and that in
reading a line of an ordinary book the
eye makes live or six (more or less,
according to the length of the line) dis
tinct jumps. But how many know
what direction the eye takes in making
these jumps? And, as the movements
are so very minute and rapid, how have
they been studied? A very ingenious
means has been employed, as follows:
A beam of light is thrown upon the
cornea of the eye under examination,
and this beam Is reflected by the cor
nea on to a photographic plate. As the
eye moves in reading the reflected beam
also moves, and upon developing the
plate, which Is also kept moving, a zig
zag line Is found. A study of such
photographic tracings shows that tho
eyes In turning back to pick up the
next line have some difficulty In so do
ing. The longer the line of print the great
er the effort, and for this reason we
mny conclude that a narrow line is bet
ter for nn eye thnn a long one, and if
the line be much wider than the ordi
nary newspaper column there is great
er effort iuvolved. Jewelers' Circular

Whale Meat Instead of Beef.
Newfoundland is developing a new
Industry, in the form of selling whale
meat in place of beef. One of the deal
ers says that the new meat tastes more
like venison than beef, and plans are
already uelng made to ship some to
England, where It Is expected that It
will sell for at least 12 cents a pound.

Supposed to I lave Been Hidden

SEEN BY CECIL RHODES.
Many Attempts Made to Recover
Them, but Indunas Who Buried
Them Cannot be Made to Tell.
Diamonds Filled a Bucket. Were
of Finest Color,
A bucketful of diamonds worth $20,
000,000, and hidden by old Chief Maga
to, who long years ago ruled the Kaf
fir tribes of Rhodesia, has put all of
South Africa In a turmoil of feverish
excitement. In every part of Cape
Colony and the Transvaal, In Cape
Town and Klmberley, Pretoria, Mafe
king, Johannesburg, Swartzman's kop,
Ladysmith and Pochefstroom venture
some men are making up expeditions
to search Rhodesia and the mysteri
ous wilderness lying far north of the
Limpopo river to the Zambesi Tor
theso diamonds. Newspapers In South
Africa are full of the excitement.
Nothing else Is talked of In that end
of the world but Chief Magato and his
bucketful of diamonds.
Chief Magato Is not a myth. Neither
Is the bucketful of diamonds. Cecil
Rhodes saw the big bucket filled to
the brim with diamonds of the finest
color and perfect luster. With Cecil
Rhodes at the time wero Sir John
Wllloughby, Justice Lango nnd D. C.
de Waal. But with all his craftiness,
Cecil Rhodes was unable to make a
bargalu with the old chief, who was
willing to give away his kingdom,
larger than the state of Texas, but
who clung tenaciously to his bucket
ful of diamonds.
The story of tho now famous meet
ing between Cecil Rhodes and old
Chief Magato, of Rhodesia, dates back
to 18'jn, when Rhodes, accompanied
by Sir John Wllloughby, Justice Lango
and D. C. Waal. M. L. A., came to
the Transvaal from the newly-acquired
territory now called Rhodesia.
Magato long was the terror of the
venturesome Boer pioneers. To set
foot in his realm was to court death.
Across Rhodesia his fearless black
warriors, a living hedge with brist
ling spears, barred the way to the
Zambesi river. But if Magato was
fearless, so was Cecil Rhodes. The
empire builder who had not feared to
go alone to tho heart of Lohongula's
country and make a treaty with that
black scourge of tho dark continent,
did not hesitate to pay a visit to
Magato.
During th conversation, Majrntn,
who knew all the great men of South
Africa by reputation, and who was
dazzled by the fame of the great white
chief from Klmberley, became con
fidential, and as tho story has it, ask
ed Mr. Rhodes if tin had ever seen
a buckotful of diamonds.
Magato thereupon spoke to an Indu
na, nnd within a few minutes two
natives arrived on the scene carrying
a bucket filled to the brim with pre
cious stones of the finest color.
It Is stated that after an Intimation
from Mr. Rhodes as to tho diamonds
having been stolen, and the response
of the chief that would require moro
than tho Transvaal police to recover
them, Mr. Rhodes again carefully re
garded the diamonds and estimated
their value at from $15,000,000 to $20,
000.000. The story was noised abroad and
several private syndicates wero after
wards formed to try and obtain' the
diamonds or a portion of them, from
Magato, but notwithstanding a large
outlay of money, none of these syn
dicates could get Magato to sell the
stones, If he had them, which ho In
variably denied, or find out what had
becomo of them.
As a matter of fact, the narrative
Itself began to be regarded as a myth,
but It was resuscitated when, Just be
fore Magato's death, a large and val
uable diamond was sold by the chief
himself to a local trader. Renewed
efforts were then made to get hold of
the diamonds, but Magato himself de
nied having them or ever having had
any. There are traders in the Spelon
ken who have stated more than once
that though they never saw these dia
monds themselves, they had often
been told about them by Magato's
Indunas.
So far the theory has merely dem
onstrated the possession of the dia
monds. As to tho dato of their being
hidden, of how they were hidden, and
possibly where hero Is tho connec
tion with the hidden treasure which
has started the various expeditions
on their earnest search.
Just before his death Magato, who
hated his nephew, Mpofu, the heir to
the chieftainship, and who hoped to
see ono of his Indunas Installed in
stead, determined, at any rate, not to
leave him any riches. So when he
felt that his death was near he sent
for four of his Indunas, and, address
ing them solemnly on their duty and
loyalty to himself, requested them to
divide the diamonds into parcels and
take them far away and bury them in
some wilderness. This they promised
to do, and the diamonds having been
distributed among them, two indunas
sot out for the Matabeleland and the
other two trekked toward the Selati,
In tho direction in which the remains
of the murdered man, Van Niekerk,
were subsequently found.
The facts leaked out in one way or
another after Magato's death, and
there must be many of Magato's peo
ple, as well as a few persons who
know these details perhaps even
there are some traders in Zoutpans
berg to-day who may remember two
of Magato's Indunas going on a spe
cial mission toward the location of
Majljl, the mysterious "she king," as
the Kaffirs termed hor.
TEMPERANCE IN ENGLAND.
Americana Setting the Fashion wltti
Iced Drinks.
The I' tnaikablo wave of temperance
whli h is at present spreading all over
the country Is said to be due In the
first place to economic conditions, and,
secondly, to the great, change in public,
taste, says London Express.
"One of the chief reasons of the de
crc au in the national drink bill," said
John T. Rae, scctetaiy of the National
Temperance league, "Is the striking
condemnation of the use of alcohol by
some of the most Influential medical
authorities.
"Another Important factor In the de
creased consumption of wines aud spir
lta Is the fashion set by the large num
ber of American visitors, who show a
remarkable preference for iced temper
ance drinks.
"The total abstinence of the majority
of the labor leaders Is also beginning
to tell on the laboring classes and
numbers of trade unions, many of
whom are now beginning to realize that
teetotallsm Is an Important stepping
stone to their future progress."
"There Is no doubt," the manager of
one of the largest firms of wine mer
chants told an Kxpress representative,
"that the decrease In wine and spirit
drinking is due to the present tight
ness of money and the high rate of the
Income tax. In consequence of this the
public arc only spending about half as
much on wines as they were formerly
In the habit of doing."
Childless Nobility.
Since 1840 thirty British peers or eld
est sons of peers have married lu the
United States. Of these thirteen have
no children at all, five have no sons
and five have only one son. The total
number of peers' children with Amer
ican mothers Is thirty-nine, of whom
eighteen are sons.
During the same period twenty-three
peers or eldest sons ol peers have mar
ried In the colonics. Four have no
childen, seven have one son, eight have
two sons and two have three sons.
That Is to say, though the number of
colonial peeresses Is seven less than the
number of American peeresses, thfy
have nearly twice as many children,
and, while six of them have neglected
to present their husbands with heirs,
nineteen Americans are guilty of tho
same neglect.
In the lower ranks of the aristocracy
the figures are even more startling. Of
Americans who are tho wives of eng
lishmen with a courtesy title or baro
netcy, there are forty-four. Of these
seventeen, or nearly half, have no chil
dren and eight have only one child.
It therefore comes to this, that since
1840 the number of titled Americans,
exclusive of knights' wives, has risen
to seventy-four, of whom thirty are
childless and fourteen have but one
child.
In face of these figures, the conten
tion that by means of American brides
fresh vigor may be imported into the
British aristocracy is merely ridiculous.
New York Tribune.
Talents and Confidence.
A single-talent man, supported by
great self-confidence, will achieve more
than a ten-talent man who does not be
lieve in himself. The mind cannot act
with vigor In the presence of doubt. A
wavering mind makes a wavering exe
cution. There must be certainty, confi
dence and assurance, or there can be
no efficiency. An uneducated man who
believes In himself, and who has faith
that he can do the thing he undertakes,
often puts to shame the average college
bred man, whose over-culture and
wider outlook have sometimes bred In
creased sensitiveness and a lessening
of self-confidence, whose decision has
been weakened by constant weighing of
conflicting theories and whose preju
dices are always open to conviction,
Success.
A New Submarine.
John P. Holland, the inventor of the
Holland submarine boat, has made and
satisfactorily tested the model of a new
submarine, which is Intended to attain
a speed of between 25 and 30 knots an
hour, submerged. The model prepared
by Mr. Holland has been put to the test
at Washington, D. C, by the methods
provided by the navy department, and
has met all the requirements.
1 Odd Utility of Wives.
! In a recent case in London a detec
tive testified that it was common for
counterfeiters to marry women solely
for the purpose of passing bad coins on
the public. These marriages arc not
contracted from any feelings of mutual
attraction or even trade partnership,
but lu the belief that Juries have a ru-
. luctauce in convicting wives.
I French Army Discipline.
; In the French army an officer whose
duty it is to report on a junior is
obliged to show him the original re
port and obtain his signature to it, cs
proof that he has made himself master
of the contents. The general officer is
not permitted to express any opinion
on the matter until he obtains from the
one accused a written defense.

! On the state railways In Germany the
colors of the carriages are the same as

thus first class carriages are yellow,
second class green and third class

Physicians In Russia.
Russia, with a population of 127,000,
000, has only 18,334 physicians. In the
United States, with a population of
about 75,000,000, there are 120,000 phy
sicians. While grass will not grow in certain
parts of Africa, these localities are the
richest In flowering plants.
