THE KING OF BEASTS.
CHANGING PIANISTS.
He Is Merely m Blc Cat, After All, sad m
Coward at Heart.
If we quit heraldry for fact and go by
the testimony.! travelers and hunters,
it is very doubtful whether the lion de
serves bis magnificent reputation. It is
bis appearance, no doubt, which, bas
gained for him the appellation of "king
of beasts," with all the regal honor per
taining to it. Certainly he looks "every
inch a king." Nothing can be finer. The
fancy itself could conceive nothing more
fittingly representative of majesty than
the full grown male lion, gazing with
great yellow eyes, which seem to know
no fear, and the ample honors of his
shaggy mane wrapped round his massive
front and forearms. He looks like the
embodiment by nature of lordliness and
magnanimity, and he has been adopted
as such in aU literature imd poetry from
Homer and iEschylus down to the "lion
comiquo' of our music halls. Yet he is
only a cat a great cat after all, and
those who know him in his native wilds
give a very different character of "felis
leo" from popular conceptions.
We do not wish to calumniato a crea
ture so intimately connected with Brit
ish story and so dignified in bearing and
behavior, for nobody can deny that the
lion is a great gentleman in his manners.
Nevertheless, African sportsmen relate
that he can show himself as cowardly as
he is cruel; that he will abandon bis
consort and cubs in a moment of ex
treme danger, and that he scarcely ever
charges straight homo upon anybody
who, armed or unarmed, has the pres
ence of mind to await his onset. He is
described as very nervous and very cun
ning, and dreading beyond everything
tho superior prowess of the white man.
Tho early Dutch settlers at the cape
speak of lion3 prowling round the fort
at night "in such numbers as though
they would take it by storm." Now one
must go very far into the African
"veldt" to see a lion, and a strange fact
is that ho has learned tho craft of silence
and is seldom or never heard to lift up
his mighty voice except in the far wilder
ness, where the hunters havo not come
except singly. Thus it is written in an
African guidebook: "Though his foot
prints may frequently be seen near the
mountains of Lokaron and Boatlanama,
and he will sometimes venture to carry
away an ox from a wagon span there
abouts, he rarely or never makes his
presence known by his rear, having
learned apparently that it will only have
tho effect of frighteuiugofE the few timid
antelopes upon which all hopes of re
plenishing his larder depend, or, worse
still, of betraying his position to his in
veterate enemy and persecutor, man."
London Telegraph.
It "Was All T.nrp.
A writer for tho Boston Transcript
was the witness the other day of a very
pretty scene on a street car. There was
an old negro woman-a very black old
woman whose face, besides being black,
was pockmarked. No doubt a superfi
cial observer would have called her re
pulsive, but there was a sweet and kind
ly look in her eyes and a benevolent ex
pression about" her black features which,
as you looked at her, gave you a glimpse
of something beautiful.
At her side, with his sweet child face
toward tho window, knelt a little white
boy a handsomely dressed little chap
with, blond curls and blue eyes. Ho
asked tho old black woman questions
now and then, which she answered with
a deep, grave, land voice, and she called
the little fellow "honey."
Presently this little Caucasian leaned
over tenderly toward the old woman,
put his arm lovingly around her neck
and laid his pink and white cheek against
her black face. That obliterated every
bit of repulsiveness the woman might
have had with every person of sentiment
in that car. To this little boy the old
black face was entirelj beautiful, be
cause it was all love. The beauty that
ho saw was a good deal more than skin
deep.
Tho Bins' Flieusant.
This bird was imported from China by
O. N. Denny some eight years ago. Six
pair were let loose on Petterson butte,
about four miles from Sodaville, Or.,
and tho climatical conditions and conn
try being favorable and being protected
by a strict law for six years they have
multiplied rapidly and now are one of
our most common game birds. In fact,
they multiplied so rapidly that long be
fore the six years' protection had ceased
tho farmers complained bitterly that the
birds were a serious damage to their
grain and gardens, and many birds
were killed, but in this I think they were
mistaken, for in my examination of many
stomachs at all seasons of tho year I
found but very littlo grain a3 their food,
but many wild seeds, bugs, grasshop
pers, etc.
I think that the farmers havo realized
this also to somo extent, as nearly all
havo now posted trespass notices for their
protection. Science.
Atomic Principles.
A sido light is being thrown on the na
ture of the elements by tho chemico
physical discussion between Armstrong
and Hartly as to the connection existing
in the constitution of certain organic
compounds and the colors they exhibit.
Wo may take it as an established fact
that a relation exists. And if so, then
why may not elements of distinct and
characteristic color be considered as
complexes analogous to definitely decom
posable substances? The two elements,
nickel and cobalt, of decided color in
their salts and in their metallic plates,
add strength to this idea in that they
may be considered as exhibiting a sort
of isomerism. Their atomic weights aro
tho same within limits of experimental
error, and by analogy with compounds
identity of atomic weight implies dis
similarity in constitution and therefore
definite structure. Science.
An Incidental Performance That Proved
Interesting'.
"As interesting as anything I've seen
in this town," said a visitor to the city,
"was a change of pianists that I saw in,
a variety theater. There was a man on
the stage singing a song, and the pianist
was playing the accompaniment. I hap
pened to see the pianist glancing to tho
left once, and I looked in that direction
myself and saw coming down the aisle a
man that I judged must be the relief pi
anist, and so he was. I imagined that
he would sit down for a moment and
wait, but, dear me, I was very slow.
"Ho was approaching the piano at tho
bass end of the keyboard. When he had
-almost? reached the corner of the piano,
the man who was playing began gently
sliding off the seat to the right, still
playing. By this timo the reh'ef Vas
abreast of the bass keys, and theso the
first player, who was still sliding stead
ily to the right, now relinquished to him,
and then the newcomer, still standing,
but also moving steadily to the right,
struck in in perfect time and tune.
"There was a brief time, a second or
two, when both men were playing the
retiring pianist the treble and the on
coming player the bass and for a frac
tion of a second they were both stand
ing. But now tho new player is fairly
opposite tho center of the keyboard. Ho
settles into the scat, and now it is his
hand that strikes the treble, and now tho
whole piano resounds to his resolute
touch.
"In fact, there never was a minute
when the piano had anything to say
about it. There never was n minute
when the men wero not completely mas
ters of tho situation. There never was
an instant from tho time the relief ap
proached until he was firmly settled in
his seat when both men were not con
tinuously in motion, but tho change was
made without a jar or a slur in the mu
sic and without tho omission of a note."

A Royal Book Kay or.
Empress Catherine H of Russia was a
great reader and a lover of books. One
of her services to letters in Russia was
the purchase of the libraries of Voltairo
and Diderot. She was a warm friend
and admirer of these French philoso
phers, and their work interested her be
cause she was eager to learn new theo
ries of politics and government Vol
taire's library of about 7,000 volumes is
now a part of the Russian imperial li
brary in tho Hermitage palace, and in
the hall devoted to it is Hondon's statue
of Voltaire.
The story of Catherine's purchase of
Diderot's library is interesting. It is
creditable to her tact und her generosity.
Diderot named 15,000 as the price of
his library. Catherine H offered him
16,000 and named as a condition of tho
bargain that her purchase should remain
with Diderot until his death. Thus Did
erot, without leaving Paris, became
Catherine's librarian in his own library.
As her librarian ho was given a yearly
salary of 1,000.
One year this salary was not paid.
Then Catherine wrote to her librarian
that she could not have him or her li
brary suffer through the negligence of a
treasurer's clerk, and that she should
send him the sum that she had set aside
for the care and increase of her library
for 50 years. At the end of that period
she would make now arrangements. A
check for 25,000 accompanied this let
ter. Youth's Companion.
Children's Letters.
A little boy who in the absence of hia
parents had been sentenced to go to bed
early by a relative was seen to be busy
with a pencil and paper, after which he
carefully buried tho communication in
a hole in the garden and retired to bed.
The missive when disinterred ran as fol
lows: Deab Mr. Deyiu Please como and tako
Aunt Jane. Please bo quick. Yours,
Robert.
It is to be regretted that not a single
letter by a Roman or a Greek child sur
vives, the nearest approach being, per
haps, some verses written by a child of
10 in the later empire, which his parents
had engraved upon hia tomb two years
later. The ancients doted on their chil
dren. Catullus wrote an ode to his
daughter's sparrow, Ovid to his chil
dren's parrot, and the Greeks wrote
epigrams to their children's toys. They
even made offerings of toys to their dead
children for playthings in the world of
spirits. But no voice of a Greek child
comes to us across the gulf of time.

"The tost Continent."
Dr. Bowdler Sharpe, tho well known
ornithologist of the British museum, de
livered a lecture at the Savage club on
"Tho Lost Continent." Dr. Sharpe first
illustrated the zoo geographical regions
of the world, with their peculiar forms
of bird life, and explained the occurrence
of isolated forms in different portions of
the globe by the existence of a former
land connection now vanished beneath
the sea. The idrea of an ancient tropical
continent at the south pole uniting South
America, Madagascar and Australia is "
arousing considerable interest and dis
cussion in scientific circles at tho present
time, chiefly owing to the support which
it has received from tho recent discov
eries in the Chatham islands of Mr. H.
O. Forbes, tbe well known Malayan trav
eler. The lecturer in conclusion dealt
with some problems of the geographical
distribution of birds for which, no rea
sonable solution has yet been offered.

Tho Ocean Telephone Possible.
Professor Silvanus P. Thompson is one
of those who believe that ocean teleph
ony is not only possible, but that the
means of attaining it are within our
grasp. Telephone cables for the deep
sea will, however, require to be made on
a different plan from the existing tele
graph cables that is to say, a single con
ductor of stranded copper insulated and
surrounded by an iron sheathing that
comes between the outgoing wire and
the water which, serves as the return
part of the circuit. The going and re
turn wires will have to lie side by side
within the sheathing. Moreover, the
whole circuit will probably have to be
broken up into sections which are capa
of acting upon each other by mutual ic
ductioa. London Qlpbe.
Sweetheart Abbey.
There is in Galloway, Scotland, an an-
i cient ruin known as Sweetheart abbey.
Within its ivy covered, storm battered
I walls lies buried the affectionate and de
1 voted Dervorgill, with tho heart of her
, husband, John Baliol, embalmed upon'
her breast. Lovely in their lives, in
death they are not divided. The crum
bling masonry is still and must ever be a
romance in its symbols of death and de
cay, telling every day, as it has for 600
years, the thrilling story of a woman's
tender love and devotion.
