HIS HARDEST TASK
The Bull the Matadoro Found
It Most
Difficult to Kill
There Is no description of n bullfight
in Mrs Maud Howe Elliotts hook
Sun and Shadow Iu Spain but thero
the bullfighter in an unexpectedly gen
tle light It also makes plain the fun
damental reason why Americans ob
ject to bullfights
How nmny bulls have you killed
feome one asked of the matadore
In twenty live years 1 have killed
3000 bulls
Were you ever afraid
I have been afraid many many
times On those occasions I put my
trust in my legs and ran as fast as I
could
The bull however is the noblest of
animals and the bravest He never
makes a cowardly attack from behind
He is so frank lie is terrible though
A man needs nerve to face him when
he comes into the ring pawing the
earth and bellowing
Will you tell us about the bull that
was the hardest of all to kill
The matadores face changed
He was white bull he said slow
ly and he didnt want to fight When
ne urst came in lie put his muzzle in
my hand He followed me about like
a little dog 1 led him with the cloak
wherever I wanted to go Yes that
was the hardest bull of all to kill
THE GHOST FLUID
A Test by Which May Be Discerned
the Digital Effluvia
There is an experiment irst made
by Dr J Maxwell advocate general at
the court of appeals in Paris a dis
tinguished magistrate and physician
which may be repeated iu any drawing
room
Place a screen covered with a dark
colored cloth in front of a window so
that the light falls full upou it Be
tween the window and the screen put
the subject of your experiment Let
him hold his hands palms toward the
breast finger tips touching in such a
positiou that they are projected against
the dark background of the screen
Then bid him slowly separate his
hands keeping the fingers extended
widely Standing behind him you will
observe a sort of bluish gray cloud
which seems to unite one hand to the
other Eight people out of ten will
see this says Vance Thompson in
Hamptons Magazine In 800 tests
made by Dr Maxwell personally 230
folk of one sex and the other discerned
the digital effluvia about 5 per cent
saw it tinged a decided blue two saw
it yellow in tone and in one instance
the spectator saw it of a reddish hue
The experiment succeeds best in a
warm room Cold and damp work
against it The duration of durability
is four or five seconds
Rammed by a Shark
The strangest shark story which
ever came to the writers ears was of
a shark that charged a steamer This
was in Queen Charlottes sound and
an account of the incident appeared in
a Vancouver paper The captain of
the steamer which was a small craft
of only fifty tons or so saw the shark
on the surface on the port bow and
could not resist the temptation of tak
ing a shot at it with his ritle He hit
his mark whereupon the monster said
in nave neen luny Twenty teet in
leirih deliberately charged the steam
er Tilt boat quivered from stem to
stern aed the captain said afterward
that it was like striking a rock After
this display of temper Master Shark
had had enough of it and sank out of
sight -T C Hridges in Chambers
