883,
INDIAN CARELESSNESS IN THE MIDST
MORTAL DANGERS,
As a matter of fact, the tiger is not a specially ferocious animal. As the greatest authority on Indian natural history says it is a ‘‘haimless timid animal.” It feeds on animals that are prodigiously injurions to crops, and there are on record in India the
complaints of villagers on the increase of | deer and wild pigs in consequence of the de- ,
struction of the tiger in their neighborhood. When it gets too feeble to catch wild animals it begins to eat tame ones, or,
/easier victims still, the men or women who

take it too soon. Bui it is only those who
member during the Afghan war assisting to thrash some lazy fellows in order to arouse them to a proper sense of the necessity of saving their lives. They had squatted down to smoke ly the road- side in the Khyber Pass, though they knew the enemy .was jurking in the rocks above them, and in the jungle behind them; though they had with their own eyes seen the corpses of camp followers, lying where they had been niur- dered, when they sat down to smoke. In the very same way the herdsmen comes loafing home in the twilight, singing a song of the country as he goes (to let the tiger know that he is coming, probably), and suddenly out of the sugar-canes flashes the tiger, and there is an end of that herésmen. But the next man will probably d» the very same thing. He will take another road, of course, on his way home, but he wilf lag behind his cattle and sing to himself in the same ridiculous way, and out from under the bair tree springs the same old tiger. Indeed, it is one of the problems of Indian administration how to keep the natives from suicide. They prefer to have half the village down with smallpox and then carry a dead chicken round the stricken hamlet on the end of a pole than to be vaccinated, They prefer to lose a prodigious number of their acquaintance by drowning than to protect their walls, They prefer to have tens of thousands of men and women bitten by snakes in toes and thumbs, and die therefrom, than let enough light into a hut to see the difference between firewood and cobras. — Belgravia.

Old anc New Atlantic Steamers.
The wonderful performances of Atlantic steamers, comparatively new, have been so prominently kept before the public that there is some danger that the efficiency of Atlantic steamers not quite so new will be overlooked, There are not wanting certain heretical individuals who maintain that the ‘‘Alaska,” and other vessels of her type, owe their speed to the enormous power developed by their engines, and not to the inherent virtues of their model. The opinion is strengthened by some recent Atlantic performances. The ‘Alaska’ and ‘Britannic’ left Liverpool at 5 and 6 p. m. respectively on Saturday June 2, and both left Queenstown at 9.30 on Sanday morn- ing. The ‘‘Alaska” arrived at New York at 10 a. m., and the ‘‘Britannic” at 8 p. m, on the following Sunday, the mean time being about—‘'Alaska,” seven days, five hours, and the ‘‘Britannic”’ seven days, fifteen hours. Considering that the Alaska is a two-year-old ship of 6,950 tons, indicating 10,500 horse-power, and that the Britannic is nine years old 5,- 004 tons, and about 4,500 horse-power only, this trial of speed is more creditable to the Brittanic than to the Alaske. Ifthe Brit- tanic had the same horse-power in propor- tion to power as the Alaska, she would have 7,500, or 3,000 more than she has. These passages given the Alaska speed of 16.1 knots, and forthe Britannic 15.2 knots. According to Mr. Froude, increasing the Britannic’s power by two-thirds would in- crease her speed by 3.4 knots, raising it to 18.6 knots, equal to a _ passage of six days five hours, or one day shorter than the Alaska. As a matter of fact there is very small doubt that she would go little shorter of that speed. By increasing her power one-third, cr to 6,000 horses— the same es the Arizona, her probable speed would be 17 knots—six days twenty hours. In fact, when the boilers of the Britannic and Germanic require revewing two or three years hence, they could be made more than a match in speed for any steamer now running by giving them the moderate power of 6,000 horses, which their strength of construction would certainly well stand, as in the matter of model these vessels are apparently un- equalled by those of any other line.—The Lugimeer.

The New York Herald says Eariy Gran- ger, of Springfield, Jamaica, died at his residence last Sunday, at the age of ninety- four. He was born atShelhanger, Norfoik, England. In 1811 he enlisted in the Fitty- fourth regiment, British infantry, served at the battle of Waterloo. He was at the capitulation of the French army after the fival struggle before Paris, and remain- ed with the army until the elevation of Louis Philippe to the French throne. He then returned to England with his regiment. He came to America in 1820. In 1835 he took part in the organization of the first brass band in Brooklyn. Ex-Mayor Booth, of Brooklyn, was second fifer in the band.

Africa. Africa is evidently to be a wonderfully }wide and rich field for commerce. graphical expeditions into that continent will be closely followed by commercial ex- peditions, and the world will soon have more markets for its trade. Europeans fully appreciate the importance that Africa promises to hold in the commercial world, ‘and already they are begioning to increase their trading factories in that country. The latest one is the enterprise of a business firm of Bremen, which has purchased Angra | Pequena, on the Western coast of Africa. Traffic will be carried on between that place and Cape Town. A strip of land ‘stretching twelve miles inland is to be | bought, and the colony of the German com-
(,a0-
against humavity—and death cannot over- mercial houses will cover about 1,350 square
|miles in extent. Most people believe that
know the Hindoo thoroughly who can| beyond the Cape Colony and the countries ‘credit the amazing apathy of these men, |along the shores of the Mediterranean,
é I even when in imminent dange. So long Africa has little to offer but some desert and 5 | as it is not actually visible they refuse to | 4m lynmense terrliory of foreat and jungle,
‘take precautions egainst peril, and I're- productive of nothing but wid beasts and
jfever. A few years hence it will be seen | that a great country of marvellous richness awaits only civilization to give support to mulions of industrious peop'e. Present appearances indicate that our cousins across the water intend to reap this field. There is no good reason why they should do so exclusively, and there is still less reason why this country should not participate in the trade. Our merchants and manvfac- turers should keep Africa constantly before them, for it will offer advantages to them which the stronger rivalry of older nations has kept from them in other fields. —Mayri- time Register.

A Portable Breakwater.
A most ingenious invention cailed the Greenway Breakwater has come before our notice, and is one which, if we can judge from the successful experiments made, will in a very short time be brought prominently before the public The object of (this breakwater, which is simply a line of buoys is not to resist the force of the waves, but to turn them against one another, The buoys are moored in a straight line, in- dependent of one another, and are of a triangular shape, with asharp point, which is direeted toward the sea when the buoy is in position. They are held by two anchors to each buoy, fore and aft, so as to keep them in position with the space of a buay between each. The draft of each buoy is 10 feet, Whena wave strikes the sharp prow of a buoy it is divided into two parts; the divided wave then rushes towards the buoys on either sides, and in the space between it meets that portion of another weve which has had similar treatinent from
the neighboring buoy, with the result that the diversion and collision rednee or entirely break the force of the wave, and
the water is carried harmlessly inside of the breakwater. Such a breakweter could be constructed in a very short space of time, while the cost compared with thot of a concrete or stone breakwater, would be trifling. — Line rpool Journal of Commerce.
A Bolivian Monster.
The Brazilian Minister at LaP:z, Bolivia, has remitted to the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Rio Janeiro photographs of drawings of an extraordinary saurian killed on the Beni after receiving thirty-six balls. By order of the President of Bolivia the dried body, which had been preserved at Asuncion, was sent to La Paz. It is twelve metres (nearly forty feet) long from snout to point of the tail, which Jatter is flattened. Besides the anterior head, it has four metres behind, two small but com- pletely formed heads rixing from the back. All three have much recemblance to the head of adog. The legs are short and end in formidable claws. ‘The legs, belly and lower part of the throat appear defended by a kind of scale armour, and all the back is protected by a still thicker and double curiass, starting from behind the ears or the anterior head and continuing to the tail. The neck is long, and the belly large and almost dragging on the ground. Professor Given, who examined the beast, thinks it is not a monster, but a member of a rare or almost lost species, as the Indians in some parts of Bolivia use sinall earthen vessels of identical shape, and probably copied from nature— Panama Star.
Facts.
A mole spot on the arm pit really prom- ises, 80 they say, wealth and honor. On the ankle it bespeaks modesty in men, but courage in women. When a molegspot is found on the right breast ita a sure sign of honesty, if on the left it forbodes poverty; on the chin it promises wealth, on the r pht var respect, on the left ear dishonor. fit is seen on the centre of the forehead it bespeaks treachery, sullenness, and untidi- ness If it is on the night tem] le it fore- shadows that you will enjoy the friendship cf the great; on the left temple it forebodes distress; on the right foot it bespeaks wis- dow, on the left rashness. When it is on the rght side of the heart it denotes virtue; ; When on the left side wickedness When it is on the knee of a man it denotes When it is on the left knee of a woman she may ex- |pect a large family. A mole on the lp isa jsign of gluttony and talkativeness; on tho \neck it promises wealth. A moleon the
| nose indicates that a man will bea great traveller; on the thigh it forbodes poverty and sorrow, and on the wrist ingenuity.
