the Brute's Head Showed Above
Water, and the Well Placed Bui-
Fired From an Elephant, Entered
Nostril and Broke Hie Nock.
An Interesting account of a tiger
given by one who bad a wide
hunt is _
experience in buuting this most dan
gerous of beasts. Mounted upon ele
phants. the writer and bls companions
bad been beating the Jungle without
making a find until, as they were
ubout to give up the search, a sudden
disturbance among the elephants ap
peared to betoken a tiger near at
hand. Giving directions to the others
as to the order of marching their ele
phants. the writer ordered his ma
hout to turn Into tbe thick feathered
foliage to tbe left In search of a pool
of water which ho remembered to be
there.
There was a slight descent to a long
but narrow hollow about fifty or sixty
yards wide. This was tilled wlthclear
water for an unknown length.
1 was Just about to make a remark
when. Instead of speaking, I gently
grusped the mahout by tbe head as I
leaned over the howdab nnd by this
signal stopped the elephant.
There was a remarkable sight.
About 120 yards distant on my right
the head and neck of a large tiger,
clean and beautiful, reposed above the
surface of tbe water, while the body
was coollug. concealed from view.
Here was our friend enjoying his
quhd bath, while we had been pouud-
Ing away up :ui<l down the Jungles
whl< b he had left.
"Fire nt him." whispered the ma
hout, "or you will lose him! He will
see us and be off.”
"Hold your tongue!" I answered.
“He enu't sw- us. for the sun is at our
back and is shining In his eyes, See
how green they are.”
At this moment the tiger quietly rose
from Ills hath nnd snt up on end like
a dog I never saw such a sight, Ills
head was beautiful, nnd the eyes
shone like two green electric lights as
tbe sun's rn.vs reflected from them,
lint Ids huge body was dripping with
muddy water, ns In- had been reclin
ing upon tbe alluvial bottom.
For quite n minute the tiger sat up
in the same position. At last, as If
satisfied that lie was In safety and so-
< 111: loll, he once more lay down with
only tile head and neck exposed above
the surface.
"Bmk Hie elephant gently, but do
not turn around." I whispered
Im
mediately the elephant backed through
tile feathery tamarisk without the
slightest sound, nnd we found ,)Ur.
selves outside the Jungle
We could
bleu the freely.
"Go on. now. quite gently till I press
your bend, tlieu turn to the right, de
scending through the tnmurlsk till 1
again touch your turban."
I counted Ibo elephant's paces as she
moved softly parallel with the Jungle
until I felt suro of my distance, a
slight pressure upon the niuhout'a
■esd and the elephant turned to the
right. The waving plumes of the dark
groen tamarisk divided as we gently
moved forward, and In uuotber mo
ment we HlopiMsl. There waa t,H. t|g#r
in the same position, exactly fnclug
¿telain* "°W ab°Ut •vveDt>' Ov’» paces
' Keep the elephant quite steady" 1
whispered, nud. sluing down upon tbe
howdab seat. 1 took a rest with tbe
rltl* upon the front bar of the gun
ruck A piece of tamarisk kept wav
big in the wind Just In front of the
rifle beyond my reach. The mahout
taannl forward and gently l>ent It
down. Now nil was clear. The liger's
«yes were like green glass. The ele
pliant for n moment stood like stone
I totn-hed the trigger.
There was no response to the loud re-
l»<»rt of six dr.uus of powder from tbe
flve-.eien-M.vcn" rifle, no epla.h In
the uabroken surface of the water.
Tim tiger's head was .till there, but
In a different altitude, one-half below
, the surface ami only one cheek aud
one large ey. .till glittering like an
emerald Above.
Upon examination It proved that
there was uo hole whatever tn that
tiger, the bullet tuning entered tbe
nostril, broken the mvli and ruu along
the taaly
The animal consequently
had never moved.
1 bit tiger when laid out straight, but
without lining pulled to Increase Its
length measured exactly nine feet
and eight Inches from no— to tall —

THE EYE OF AN ARTIST.
A WONDERFUL SNAKE.
A Case Where It Was More Reliable
Than a Sailor’s Optic.
Sir. N. Chevalier, tbe well known
artist who accompanied tbe late Duke
of Edinburgh ou many of bls travels,
was once going from Dunedia to Lyt
telton. New Zealand, by steamer. Anx
ious to catch the earliest glimpse of
the coast, be went on deck at dawn
and was alarmed to see that tbe ves
sel was beading straight on to the
land. Calling the officer's attention to
the fact, he was told that it was only
a fog bank. Tbe artist maintained bis
point, but the second officer looked
and confirmed bis mate.
Tbe artist then said. "Well, gentle
men. 1 will back my artist's eye
against your sailor’s eye. and I say
that wbat you mistake for a fog bank
is a low range of bills, and there is a
range of mountains appearing above
them."
But he was only laughed at until the
captain, coining on deck, found in
the growing light that tbe artist was
right and the seamen wrong. The
vessel was out of Its course, and there
was only Just time to avert disaster.
The belinsnian was dismissed in dis-
grace and the course given to a new
steersman, but the vessel's head still
pointed landward—the compass was
all wrong
The cause was discovered later. A
commercial traveler had brought a box
of magnets on board and deposited
them in a stern cabin, causing what
might have been a fatal deflection of
the compass.
I To return to the question of Inter
pretation. the artist was dealing with
tbe appearances which his eye was
trained to see and his mind to inter
pret. A speck on the horizon might
i have remained a mere speck to him
long after tbe sailors had interpreted
the speck Into a vessel of definite rig.
There can be little doubt that tbe
trained eye Is accompanied by a sort
of meutal seeing—an instinct outrun
ning optics.
It Defied the Attacks ci the Serpent
Killing Iguana.
Snakes on the pampas of South
America have many enemies. Burrow
ing owls feed on them, and so do herons
and storks, which kill them with »
blow of their Javelin beaks. Tbe ty
rant bird picks up the young snake b;
tbe tall and. flying to u bran h or
stone, uses tbe reptile as a Hail until
its life is battered out. Tbe large liz
ard of the pampas, the iguana. Is u fa
mous snake killer. It smites the snake
to death with its (towerfui tail. Mr.
Hudson in his "Naturalist Iu La Pla
ta” tells this story:
One day a friend of mine was riding
out looking after his cattle. One end
of his lasso was attached to bis saddle
and the remainder of the forty foot
line was allowed to trail on tbe ground.
The rider noticed a large iguana lying
apparently asleep, and. although be
rode witbin a few inches, it did not
sllr. But uo sooner bad the rider pass-
ed than tbe trailing lasso attracted
tbe lizard's attention. It dashed after
the slowly moving ro|ie and dealt It
a succession of violent blows with its
tall. When the whole of tbe lasso,
several yards of which had been pound
ed in vain, bad passed by. tbe iguaua.
with uplifted bead, gazed after It with
astonishment. Never bud such a won
derful snake crossed its path before.

What Bothered Her.
"Some women are very selfish." said
a woman s|>enker at a banquet. "They
remind me of the woman who visited
a fortune teller.
" 'Lady.' said the fortune teller,
shuffling the cards, 'fate decrees that
you wjll visit foreign lauds. You will
inlugle Iu tbe court life of kings and
queens.
Conquering all rivals, you
will marry the inau of vour choice, a
tall. dark, handsome gent of distin
guished aucestry-ln fact, a peer of tbe
realm.'
“'Will he be young?*
"'Yea; young and rich.’

Tactics It Employs In Making a Meal
of an Adder.
The hedgebog Is the possessor of
tastes which, like Sam Weller's knowl-
edg-e of I-ondon. are "extensive and |>e-
collar." says the Scotsman, Scorning
fastidiousness, it can make a hearty
meal of nearly any insect and is one
of tbe vertebrates which can tackle
the cockroach.
For effectual ester-
initiation of beetles and crickets It is
as useful as a mongoose among the
rats, but it Is not generally known that
It has a partiality toward snakes and
adders.
Tbe methods It employs for the at-
Iliivlng come
tack are Interesting,
upon the udder. It goads that reptile
to the offensive and at the first dart
immediately rolls into a bull. Tbe ad
der to then left to attack the spines.
In which encouuter It naturally comes
off second best. After awhile, when
the hedgehog feels that Ills antagonist
has exhausted Ills |>ower. It once more
opens out nnd makes a bite at the ad
der's back, thereby breaking Its spine.
It then proceeds to crunch the whole
of lln* reptile's Is sly by means of Its
powerful Jaws, nnd after that It la
snld to start ut the tail nnd devour It»
prey.
