Mr. Knox, attorney general, on
behalf of the government, asked the
supreme court to intervene in the
suit brought by the state of Kansas
against Colorado to prevent the di
version in the latter state for irriga

Arkansas river. There is now avail
able under the reclamation act a
fund of $1 (>,000,000 received from
the sales of public land, and that

extent and character of its interests,

HOW WILD BEASTS ATTACK
Nearly Every Species Has Its 0vro
Peculiar Method of Seizing
Its Prey.
Those who obtain their knowl
edge of how wild animals pounce
upon their prey, be it a human
being or a fellow brute, from
the picture books will have to
revise their ideas if they are
made true to life. Most of the
conceptions are entirely wrong,
according to the statement of a
close student of such things.
“In seizing their prey tigers
and lions almost invariably go
for the throat,” he says, “though
in one or two instances that have
come under my notice of animals
killed by tigers they have evi
dently first been hamstrung.
These, probably were the victims
of young and inexperienced ti
gers. 1 once saw a man charged
and knocked over by a panther
and he only saved his throat by
putting up his arm, which, as
.well as his shoulder, the animal
grasped with teeth and claws.
“Anyone who knows anything
about elephants must be aware
that the trunk, and particularly
the tip of the trunk, is the most
delicate and sensitive part of
the animal and that ho shields
it from injury by every possible
means in fiis power, ft is, there
fore, very unlikely that he would
expose it in the act of charging.
My experience, limited though it
be, points to the fact that an
elephant, once he has made up
his mind to charge, curls up his
trunk tight.
“Hisons and buffaloes when
they charge invariably poke
their noses in the air and com
mence running at you with their
heads well up, much in the man
ner of domestic cattle, and only
lower their horns when within a
few yards of the object of their
attentions. This I take to be a
mere matter of common sense
on the part of the animal, for if
he puts his head down, say e>en
40 yards away, he could not pos
sibly see where he was going.
“Hears when wounded will
often get on their hind logs and
dance about from sheer rage and
will also at times do so in order
to get a better view of the where
abouts of their enemy, but when
they charge, whether it be at a
man mounted or on foot, they in
variably charge on all fours.
“In charging most animals
give vent to certain vocal sounds
—grunts or roars—and this, it
is natural to suppose, is done
with a view to terrifying and de
moralizing the object they are
attacking—in fact, more often
than not it is a mere bluff on the
animal's part. I have often seen
tigers roar when charging who
never really mean mischief and
who when met by a bold front
turned off.”
Immortelles.
The manufacture of immortelle
wreaths in Paris occupies at least
1,500 persons. The immortelles
are gathered about the beginning
of October, and come chiefly from
the arid hiils in the middle and
south of France. They are
brought to the markets in their
natural condition, and the yellow
blossoms are dyed green, red and
white, and woven into wreaths by
special workmen in readiness for
All Saints’ and All Souls’ days,
when all good Parisians visit their
relatives’ graves. On these “fetes
des molds" tin* gates of tin* ceme
teries are beset with crowds of
dealers in immortelle wreaths,
wire crosses and bead crowns.
At Pere la ('liaise alone more than
200.000 persons are calculated to
visit the cemetery, and the sale of
immortelle wreaths varies from
20.000 to 25,000.—Golden Penny.

The young king of Spain's state
