SUGGESTION of Africa in
A the use of the term "moun
tain lion" somewhat of-
fends the palate where lin-
gers the savor of early
American backwoods life:
but there is something about the
name of pather that brings oat those
delicate essences of border romance
which have come down to us as a heri
tage from a picturesque past of thrill-
ing struggle and adventure. It is sig-
nificant of the difference in tempera-
ment between the peoples north and
south of the international boundary
that whereas in the western states
the name mountain lion is now used
almost exclusively, in British Colum-
bia the animal retains the name of
panther.
Its somewhat truculent aspect and
terrific fighting powers when angered,
command respect, even among those
who are familiar with Its cowardly
r.alure, and in consequence the chase
cf the panther is to-day regarded as
the most oxclting sport, next to bear
hunting, that can be had on the
American continent. It is yearly grow-
ing in popularity, and the number of
men who make long and expensive
journeys in order to enjoy its excite-
ments and spice of danger is already
very considerable.
The best season for hunting panth-
ers is the winter, and the best way Is
with dogs. Stalking a panther is a
rare occurrence: but on occasions one
is shot over a carcass, or, more rare-
ly yet, by chance when the hunter is
still-hunting other game. They are
stealthy creatures, however, and no
animal understands better the art of
keeping out of the way. Were their
capture dependent on human craft,
few would be killed. On the other
t«>nd when pursued by dogs they sel-
dom escape. N. W. Frost, a famous
hunter of Cody, Wyo., has a pack of
Aierdales and hounds which are ac-
counted the most successful hunting
dogs in the west, and a day spent
with them usually terminates in a de-
lirious wake over the body of a de-
funct lion.
Frost himself is credited with be-
ing the best hunter in a state where
hunters are abundant. Naturally, a
man who has spent a large part of
his life in the wilderness, and has
killed scores of mountain lions, has
had many exciting experiences. On
one occasion, when he was out with a
party of eastern sportsmen, the dogs
treed a lion after a long run across
some of the worst country in western
Wyoming, where lions are very abun-
dant. When the hunters came up
they found the lion braced in a fork
about 40 feet from the ground, fire in
its eye and rage in every hair of its
body. Photographs were taken, and
then one of the hunters stepped for-
ward and fired But he was new to
the country and the game, and his
bullet merely cut through the base of
til': lion's ear. Ordinarily, such a
wound would no^ stir a lion out of its
tree, but for some reason—probably
because it was partly stunned—this
one launched out In a clean leap of 60
feet, striking the ground with a thud
that should have knocked the br ath
of life out of its body. There was an
instant scattering of men and dogs,
followed by an Immediate re-assem-
l)l:ng of the dogs. For a moment top-
sy-turvydoni reigned. Then the lion
bounced out of the melee and started
to climb a near-by pine. It scratched
up a little way, and seemed to be
clear or the dogs, when ti plucky Aire-
dale, making an astonishing spring,
fastened on the tip of its tail and
brought it down into the midst or the
pack Thereupon, as they say in the
west, seven dogs and one mountain
Hon got busy right away." For a mo-
ment or two the chances seemed
equal, for the lion is a terrific fighter:
but seven experienced dogs are too
much for the strongest panther, and
the end was not far off. The dogs'
ho!d3 became longer as the lion's
struggles became weaker, and the
fight appeared to be nearly over,
when in its death struggles the lion
in eke free from the dogs and charged
blindly at one of the hunters, knock-
ing him down and inflicting some
natty scratches. At the same Instant
dogs again fastened on their prey,
ar.u man, lion and dogs formed a mad
heap. Wllh the man getting decidedly
the worst of it. Indeed, matters mighl
have gone badly with him. had it not
been (or Frost, who. watching his
hance dashed in and cut the big
cat's throat with his hunting-knife,
thus putting an end to a very exciting
scrirtucage.
It was a very old lion, measuring
about four feet In length, and show-
ing a more than usually pronounced
tuft at the end of its long, cylindrical
tail. That so large and heavy an ani-
mal should have been able to make
such a tremendous leap without in-
Jury seems marvelous, but in reality
ti,ere is nothing very extraordinary in
the circumstance. 1 once saw a lynx
take a flying leap out of the top of
a very tall pine, with no worse effect,
apparently, than to give him a mo-
mentary sensation of breathlessness.
Although, as a rule, panthers are
brought to bay, or. as is more fre-
quently the case, treed, after a short
run, in some instances, especially
when the country is at all difficult,
they will travel for many miles be-
fore making a stand. I have noticed
that the farther a panther travels, the
harder It fights In the final melee,
probably because It tires less quickly
than dogs do, and is therefore less
out-classed at the end than at the be-
ginning of a run. But in any circum-
stances they are worthy antagonists,
and capable of giving six or seven
strong, hard-biting dogs a lively set-
to. I have heard of a single dog kill
Ing a full-grown panther, but I doubt
if the report was authentic. One dog
that knows its business can kill a
wolf, for the wolf is dangerous only
at one end, whereas the panther can
deal death at either. Once let a dog
get a firm grip on the throat of a
wolf, and the wolf can do him no in-
jury; but the panther, when being
throttled by a dog, has only to give
one rake with those terrible hind
claws, and Its assailant's body Is laid
open. Dogs, therefore, have a trick,
when hunting in a pack, of "spread-
eagling" a lion, after which they can
worry it to death ill comparative safe
ty. To see a pack of trained dogs per-
form this operation on a panther is
one of the prettiest bits of animal in-
telligence I know of.
LINCOLN WILBAR.
Millions That Gladys Vanderbilt Hand-
ed Over to Titled Husband Are
Devoted to Rehabilitating His
Ancestral Home.
The fortune which the former
Gladys Vanderbilt took to Hungary as
the bride of Count Stechenyi is being
used to build up one of the greatest
estates in that empire. This fact was
learned from Morris Cukor, an at tor
ney, and intimate friend of the count
while the latter was a visitor in New
York.
Already hundreds of acres of land
have been added by the countess to
the family estate of her husband. Mr.
Cukor stated he had learned that the
teal estate was being purchased by
the Szechenyls for investment pur-
poses. Most of the land is best stilted
for agriculture.
The count's love for large estates
was made knbwn during his visit to
New York in 1907. He found fault
with Newport because the estates are
too close together. He was quoted as
saying: "If Marble house had been
erected in Hungary it would have
been surrounded by acreage as largo
as half the state of Rhode Island, in-
stead of being wedged into a village

Forests and Waterways.
It is an absolute principle: N'o for
ests, no waterways. Without fotest;
regulating the distribution of water,
rainfalls are -at once hurried to the
sea, hurried, alas, also across the
country. After devastating the neigh-
boring fields, the rivers find them-
selves again with little water and
much sand. Do you want to have
navigable rivers, or do you prefer to
have torrents that will destroy your
crops and never bear a boat? The
river Loire In France used to be one
of her best waterways; it is now the
river whose inundations are most de
structive. Special studies have been
made for the river Loire in particular.
The parts of the country are t&ing re-
forested, that Is necessary to make
the river as navigable as it was be
fore. The officials who have the cars
of the canals have also the supervi
sion of the rivers. Thus we are work
ing in order to turn to the best possi
ble use the natural resources of out
country—those resources which the
rashness of the isolated individual
would often destroy if the government
did not interfere in the interest of the
many.—M. Jusserand, French ambas
sador.
Facts Ab®u' Hailstones.
If it was not for the countless tril
lions of dust particles that float sep-
arately, invisible In the atmosphere,
there could lie no rain drops, snow
crystals or hailstones. From a per-
fectly dustiess atmosphere the mois
ture would descend In ceaseles tain
without drops. The dust particles
serve as nuclei about which vapor
gathers.
The snow crystal is the most beautl
ful creation of the aerial moisture, and
the hailstone Is the most extraordin
ary. The heart of every hailstone is a
tiny speck of dust. Such a speck, with
a little moisture condensed about it,
is the germ from which may be
formed a hailstone capable of felling
a man or smashing a window. But
first It must he caught up by a current
of air and carried to the level of the
lofty cirrus clouds, five or six. or even
ten. miles high. Then, continually
growing by fresh accession of mois-
ture, it begins Its long plunge to the
earth, spinning through the cloud, and
flashing in the sun like a diamond belt
shot from a rainbow.—The Sue-day
Magazine.
The ancient seat of the Szeclienyi
family at Horpacs Is surrounded by a
beautiful park or more than elghtv
arres, while In the entire domain or
the faintly estate there Is over 20,000
acres. It is one of the finest estates
in Hungary.
Castle Oermezoe, where the count
took his bride Immediately after their
marriage, is situated on a pictuesque
knoll. The grounds about It are
densely wooded. A large slice of the
Vanderbilt fortune was spent In fit-
ting up the old castle with modern
conveniences for the use of the bride.
Mr. Cukor does not attach much
Importance to the report that the
Countess Szeclienyi has begun to in-
vest in sawmills. This announcement
was made a few days ago in a dis-
patch from Budapest, it was stated
that the nobility of Hungary was
shocked to learn that the countess
had let her American business enter-
prise get the better of her judgment
as a member of the aristocracy.
"The sawmill," said Attorney Cukor,
"probably just happened to be on the
estate that the countess bought. She
purchased the land and took the saw-
mill with it. Many of these big es-
tates in Hungary are like old time
plantations in this country. They
have on them factories to supply peo-
ple on the estate with needed articles.
The surplus Is.sold. I think this will
be found to be the explanation of the
much talked of sawmill purchase."
Methuselah's Age.
The most astonishing news is every
now and then cabled or sent by spe-
cial correspondents from Europe, the
Christian Register says. Some ancient
bit of speculation comes for the first
(imo to the notice of an ambitious
correspondent, and forthwith he im-
parts his knowledge to the world. The
latest from London, as special to
Sunday newspaper, relates to i
ancient speculation that the great age
of the antediluvians may be account-
ed for by the discovery that the years
spoken of in Genesis were not solar
years, but lunar months. In this way
Ihe 969 years of Methuselah are
ducod to 80 years and nine months.
The enterprising correspondent and
the editor of the Sunday paper
plied the rule to the great ageB, but
not to the less. For Instance, Me-
thuselah was born when ills father
Enoch was 65 years old—that is, ac-
cording to this reckoning, five years
and five months. His grandfather was
also five years old, as was his great-
grandfather, when his first child was
born. Adam was ten years and ten
months old when his third son, Seth,
was born. This is the kind of careless
editing that gives currency to stories
about signaling Mars, photographing
thought and weighing the soul.

The Condescending Tone.
There may be little use in pointing
nut the absurdity of the condescending
tone in general. A man may be cured
by instruction, or experience, of some
particular national or sectional preju

toward some other nation or section is
llk-iy to be substituted. Boswell was
unable to eradicate Johnson's antip
•Jthy either for the Scotch or the
American, and tr he had been able to
•ic so, the Big Bear would have
