LEGAL FIGHT FOR A BIG CAVE, Secretary of- the Interior to DecJSe Month Dakota, Caae. Litigation, which has been In pro gress for more than a year for posses sion of the famous Wind cave, at Cham- berlaio, 8. D., has now reached an. inter. esting stage. McDonald, the man who located the cave before it was surveyed and held It as a squatter, made final proof In June, 16S5, claiming the land em agricultural land. A few months later the South Dakota Mining com pany filed a protest, in which it was a! leged that minerals existed on the prop erty. The register and receiver of the United State land office at Rapid City invest l.-atd the matter, and decided in favor of McDonald, as the investigation showed there was no mineral-bearing rock to be found in the place, although colors of placer gold as well an other mineral traces were discovered. The cone was then carried to the commis sioner of the general land office. He de cided that fho land wo neither agricul tural nor mineral, and held for cancel lanon Mcuonoiu's application for a patent Both parties are naturally dismtisfied with this sort of a decision, and both have now appealed the case to the sec retary of the interior. A decision is awaited with considerable interest, as the cave is equivalent to a fortune to the person who becomes the owner of i An Aaietieaa'e Bnreaem Abroad. An old story revived by the late his toric festival in Plymouth is about Joseph Bartlett, an American lawyer. who went to England shortly after the close of the revolutionary war. One evening he strayed into a theater and found the actors performing a species of satire on the war. A company of American soldiery was introduced a ragged, motley Bet armed with scythes, hammers and soldering Irons. In contrast there moved across 1 the stage a troop of British warriors iu fine guy trappings and glittering arms. The difference was amusing, and the British audience laughed. In the midst of the merriment Lawyer Joe arose and shouted: "Long live his majesty. King George of England, whipped br tailors, tinkers and cobblers!" There was a profound hush. For a second it seemed as though the American would pay for his temerity wiUi his life, but admiration for his pluck won the day. and the ominous silence was broken with a ringing cheer. THE LION'S ROAR. A Great Vhvsloal KSort la Necessary to Frooeje the Fall Effect Dr. Livingstone noted the odd re- senzblsnce of the lion's roar to that of the ostrich, Bays the Spectator. Mr. finals sayB that though the roar of the latter is not so loud, it has ex actly the same tone as that of the lion. But the ostrich always roars his best, the lion very seldom, - Tils is partly because a "good" roar needs a great physical effort. The whole interior and muscles of mouth, throat, stomach and abdomen are, for the moment, converted into an organ of terrific sound, and the sound does make the earth tremble or appear to do so, But the attitude is not that usually drawn. Unless he roars lying down, whenrhe puts his head up, like a dog barking, the lion "emits his first moan in any position, then 'draws in his neck "and lowers his head with extended jaws, right down to his fore- pows, as if about to be violently sick; while at the same, time the back is prched and the Whole animal bears an appearapce of concentrated strajn." This Is Capt, Mlllais' phonetic render-. ng of the sound, taken when listening tothree lions roaring their best: "Moan roar r-o-a-r roar roar roar grunt grunt grunt grunt (dying away)." . Why Hons roar, when it ought to pay better to keep silent, Is -not yet ex plained. Gen. Hamilton was convinced bat tlgora hunting in company roar to confuse and' frighten the deer. Possi bly tlio lion roars, when prowling around a camp, In tho hope of causing some of tlio draft' animals to break loose), at other times it appears to be a form of conversation with others at a' distance. .'..' . DECISIVE WORLD-WAR TO COME. One Mora (treat MTorsle of ftillcnl force Ileforc thi, Urn of ranee. Many have been tempted to say, In view of the vain rumor of wars of the l;,st few months which have, afflicted four continents, that we have seen the last great war. it might be. so If all nations were on the same level of civil ization, writes George J), Adams in Atlantic Monthly. Hut with the great races of the world, those which will inciltably be the leading actors in Oie coming drama, still In such different stages of advancement, who will dare to predict that we have yet entered upon a millennium of perpetual peace? The odds are altogether In favor of one more great struggle of physical force, com pared wftb which, very likely, the great est struggles of tho past will seem but child's play, before we enter upon the era or me peaceful competition of ideas and institutions and radical typeswhich will introduce the real millennium when it comes. If such a conflict of force should 'come there is only one place for us. We must be on the side of oar own ideas and institutions and race, and we cannot afford In the meantime to be training ourselves to consider our natural allies our natural enemies, or to weaken the sum of our resources by any civil strife that can be honorably avoided.
