THE ONLY ONECAr)T?RZD He Knows Animal Language, But Cannot Talk to Human Beings.? Once, After Meeting a Baboon He Was Able to Warn the Men of Approach of a Tiger. A real Mowgli has been captured In India?a man wolf, who speaks no lan guage, but grunts, snarls, growls and howls, who walks on hands and fe^t, and who was nurtured as a child lj a wolf. There are wolf reared children In India. Much valuable and trustworthy evidence has been collected to estab lish the fact, so long denied as un worthy of credence, that human babies have been carried off and nurtured by wolves. The jungle folks of India live in forest villages in lower Bengal. They belong to the Dhavidians, Kronds. Kashmeres, Parsls and Khasis tribes. Many of the people of the Dravid'an tribes and castes acquire a knowledge of wild animals which is astounding. No wonder that Kipling made Kowgli talk with the elephant, the tiger and the wolf. The man wolf of India is usually supposed to have been dragged by a she wolf from his home while a baby and carried into the jungle. The strange, wild foster mother moved by pity, would nurture the helpless child. When the child grew older it knew no other home than the jungle. The boy learned to find his own food. He knew no language except that, of the jungle. He learned to live with the animals. He knew the ways of the tiger and the elephants, as well as of the fox and of the serpent. As he grew to manhood he was a wild, naked creature fearing man as an animal. Officers of the Indi-i geographical survey have evidence of the discov ery and capture of r real man wolf. He was found in the jungle of lower Bengal and sent in to the military post, at first wild am' untamed, after wards becoming docile but suspicion: This man wolf apparently wa twenty years old. He walked or ran on the ball of the foci.", with the heel raised and the knee bent His hands were bent back at the wrist, showing that he was accustou cd to walking and running about on h-nds and feet. This man wolf?so f*r as known the only one ever capture '?could see In the dark. His ear could detect sounds unnoticed by white men. Often, while sitting in a group aroiird a campflre the man wolf would rai ??> its head, its nostrils, dilating and sniffing the air. Then it would stealthilv ^reep into the jungle. Officers and soldiers following would always find a tiger or a buffalo And yet up to the time the man wolf hai scented the intruder and heard the rusting in the grass of its foot steps its presence was unsuspected. Again, the man wolf in walking through the forests with the British officers, seemed to be able to converse with the monkeys that swung and chattered by hundreds in the tre^s. At one time a large baboon swun? from a branch of a huge tree, and, as the man wolf turned, and, poin' ng toward the jungle, made the Eng h officers understand that a tiger was following close upon them, waiting i'or an opportunity to attack. The offi cer" sprang into the jungle and found and shot a large striped beast, one of the largest they had ever seen. And the only warning they had had of its presence was what the baboon had told the man wolf. When first captured the man wolf would not eat foon given him by the English officers. When offered food he would smell of it, run it over and ov>r in his hands, and reject it. The English never know how he got hi? meals, for he sought them in the for est alone. In time, however, he 'earn ed to eat the white man's food, but even then he would not eat at a table. Living in a corner of a room given up to him, his bedding of rags and str-'w. for he would have no other, he would carry his food to this pile and hide it. sometimes for days. Then he would drag it oul and eat it, as a dog rv a wolf might. Of course, this man wolf could not talk. He understood whatever was said to him just as a dog might under stand its master. He always slept in his straw bed, ?mied up as nearly like a dog or a wolf as possible. His knees always were drawn up to his chin and his head bent as he slept. He wore clothes when given them, but soon re duced them to rags. Natives of the village told the Emr Iish officers that the parents of the man wolf lost him when he was a baby and that he was carried off by a wolf. They said he always lived in the jungle with the animals and that he would come Into the village oeca sionally. and then only for a short stay. The natives persisted In their belief that the man wolf could talk with all the animals. But the ways of civilization proved his death. He lost the vigor of out door life and soon fell a victim to con sumption, his case attracting wide at mention in scientific circles in India.? Chicago Tribune. Koreans Screen Their Houses.

When the manager ot a gold mine at Rossland offered to take us down we accepted readily, and it was only wh'-n we wore iutiled to "step in" tmit we thought ot iliu li^at stiuiiuci suits which most of us were wearing. We had left the boat at .wObson and come on to nossland to learu some thing of that vast mineral wealth up on which, with lumber and fisheries and fruit growing, the commercial and Industrial future of British Columbia is to be built. At the Centre Siur the slant of the shaft is one of about GU degrees and the body of the skip slopes back to the rails upon which it falls into the depths. Which means that when the eight of us are paciced tight ly in the innocents who have catered first find themselves tilted on their heels, their backs upon the cold, wet, rusty Iron, and held fast uy the ov erlying strata of human avoirdupois which fills the skip It was at the third floor window that the man stood who heard the Op timist, hurrying by on his long fall from the roof of the twenty story skyscraper, murmur to himself that It was "All riguL so far," It is at about - that stage of his downward journey, probably, that the man who descends a mine for the first time begans to take the cheerful view. His earlier mind Is complex, elusive and difficult of analysis, but at any rate it. is not cheerful. Sudden blackest darkness; the feeling of falling out of one's hair; the whirling cable that may snap; the engine man who may lose control; an upward glancing of the soul to all Defending Powers; and then oblivion ?an oblivion cloven as it were, in past the openings, one below the oth er, of the dimly lit galleries at deep er and deeper levels. The skip slack ens 6peed, hovers hesitatingly for a moment and then comes to a stand and we step out. "You'll want candles." says the manager, and on the threshold of this new world we light them propitiaior | ily, as upon an altar. It is a world ot gray. The walls before us and the roof above, upheld by huge timbering, are gray, relieved only at a nearer view by the shimmer of the imprison ed metals. The galleries that extend to right and left, the cars wnich pass us laden and the men who bend be hind them are gray as the ore which they dump' between the rails Into a chamber below. The electric lamps which line the roofs of the galleries burn gray, as it seems, and the very air is gray. On the mountain above the sun is shining, and thank Gou for the green world that one can look upon thence. "Ollabo'd!*' cries our guide. Obedi ently we clamber Into the little sqtare trucks which have been brought up ! in a row to carry us through thr mine. Each man has his truck, rMes alone upon his own plank and lights himself with his own particular can dle. In a moment we are in the gallery. As we meet the sharp current of air the hot wax gutters over onto our fin gers and we slant the candlea back to the horizontal. At the end of a long gallery, where a second shaft descends, we cumo out, penetrate a gloomy, narrow passage in which heaps of ore lie waiting to be trucked away, and croucmng enter from below a little chamber, some 8 by 8 feet, blasted in the rock. Here, where I he air is still full of tho odor of gelignite, is a driller at work with his machine. We squeeze ourselves flat and bend low against ' the sloping walls and watch. The heavy iron arm ehoots out and In, striking the face of the roek full square perhaps fifty times a minute, every blow falling with the weight of 1.000 pounds, twisting as it strikes as if to bore through what it cannot break away. The man behind the drill turns on us an impassive face. No one speaks or would be heard 'or the echoes of the thrust and thud and the vibration of the machine. We wonder that beneath such blows and amid such din the sleeping masters of gray underworld should not awke and bring the foundations down up on us. At the bottom of the shait we wait while the men of the nieht shift flash by us. skip after skip, to ifleJr work In the lnr"f?r rlenth*. nnd then we ate drawn out of the void as we came. ?London Dally News.

Oh yes, you intend to insure after awhile when "a little better able to do so." You will surely die. All men do. You are more likely to die within a week or a year, than your house is to burn.
