SNAPSHOTS AT BIG GAME.
Experience* of a German Naturalist
In African Wild*.
A German has been wandering here
and there in eastern tropical Africa
taking telescopic photographs at long
range by day of the famous game animals
and birds or catching them by
flashlight in their night haunts, says
Cyrus C. Adams in Harper's Weekly.
In a. little less than two years he has
taken over 2,000 of these pictures. He
lias hroncrht to view the hidden life of
many African animals, showing them
just as they are in their natural environment
and making plain to us many
of their aspects that were never before
revealed to human eyes. Over 300 of
these photographs have been reproduced
In the book he has written,
which is today the literary sensation in
Germany. The book is "Mit Blitzlicht
und Buchse" ("With Flashlight and
Rifle"), by C. G. Schillings, a German
naturalist An English translation of
it has recently been published in the!
United States by Harper & Bros.
The flashlight pictures are the most j
unique and surprising in the collection.
Nearly all of them were taken at the
drinking places which many animals
visit in the night When Schillings had
selected a favorable spit he would
pitch his cami) some distance away,
but near enough to summon aid at the
crack of his rifle. Selecting a small
space where the wind blew toward him
from the path and water, he would inclose
It with a brush fence to screen
himself from view. Here he would sit
sometimes all night in the darkness or
starlight with his flashlight all ready,
| match in hand and repeating rifle and
revolver by his side.
There was little or no danger in the
worl$. A flash and the picture was
taken. An instant more and the animals
were scampering. Even the lordly
lion stayed not upon the order of his
going. He might be springing through
the air or on the neck of his victim, inflicting
the one killing bite?the flash,
and off he crashed Into the Jungle. In
! rtrm rkintnrck ho la oronchine for a
spring. The next picture, taken instantly
after, shows only the end of his
tail. A crinkle in the tail of a zebra
may reveal the first moment of his terrible
surprise. Some views show the
sudden fear in the eyes of the animals
as they gazed for a second at the startling
illumination.
DR. GILLETTE'S FEE.
Made General Manager of Matnal For
Saving Mr*. McCurdy.
Just how Dr. Walter R. Gillette was
taken from a comparatively obscure
position In the medical department of
the Mutual Life Insurance company
and made general manager was told
recently, says the New York Herald.
Dr. Gillette had for a dozen years
been the family physician of Richard
A. McCurdy. The social relations between
the physician and the McCurdy
family were close. Mrs. McCurdy was
taken suddenly ill and her malady for
a time baffled the physician's skill. Mr.
McCurdy became alarmed and desired
to call in specialists, but to this Dr.
Gillette demurred. The doctor Insisted
that he could handle the case without
assistance.
For a time after that Mrs. McCurdy's
ailment did not seem to yield to the
treatment and one day when bis wife
was very low Mr. McCurdy called Dr.
Gillette into his private office and said:
"Gillette, I fear that I am going to
lose my wife. Perhaps there is no reason
for my being alarmed, but I cannot
help it Can you give me any hope?*
Clllot+o ooenrwl \fr cCVlPflv
that he had every confidence in Mrs.
McCurdy's ultimate recovery.
"Gillette," said Mr. McCurdy, "if yon
can restore my wife to health I will
make you general manager of the Mutual
Life. I mean what I say and you
will see that I will keep my promise."
Within a month Mrs. McCurdy was
convalescent and soon after her complete
recovery Mr. McCurdy announced
through a circular letter sent to all the
agents throughout the country that
Walter R. Gillette had been appointed
general manager of the Mutual Life.
The salary which Dr. Gillette received
thereafter was nearly three times what
he received as a member of the medical
board. Dr. Gillette's final advancement
to the post of vice president of
the company, with equal powers to
those vested in Mr. Grannls, Is a matter
of record.
Course For Office Boys.
So many different things are being
taught in the public and private schools
nowadays that there are few innovations
in the line of pedogogy that will
be a surprise to the natives who are
used to hearing tales of Superintendent
Maxwell's "fads," says the New York
Press. But there Is one new course
started this fall in an Institution that
makes a business of originating novelties
in the way of education that will
be likely to make old fashioned folk
rub their eyes to read it This is nothing
more nor less than an "office boys'
course," designed to teach the terrors
of the business world the mast approved
methods in filing, indexing, mimeographing,
letter copying, etc., as well
as applied antnmeuc, Dusmess n,ngnau,
spelling and penmanship. The director
of the school lays special stress on the
fact that "importance will be laid upon
business etiquette."
Name Child After Moiqaito.
To commemorate the yellow fever
epidemic in New Orleans, in which city
their baby was born, a family named
Wilson there have had their child
j christened Stegomyia Fasciata Wilson,
so that the boy will never forget the
test of the theory that yellow fever is
transmitted only by the Stegomyia fasciata
mosquito, which has been demonstrated
beyond a possibility of doubt
there the past summer.

The execration took place in front of
tbe prison In tbe Rne Guiltemlnot Tbe
official announcement that tbe execution
would be public attracted an enormous
number of people to tbe town,
and high prices were paid in advance
for windows looking on tbe prison.
Itinerant singers and musicians took
np positions at various points In tbe
streets. Parties sat supping at improvised
supper tables. Here and tbere
couples were dancing gayly to tbe music
of a violin or guitar.
Bogaert was awakened first at 3
o'clock in tbe morning. When told
that be was to die he remarked in
Flemish, 'Tm going to have a change
of air at last" Zwartwaeger was not
facetious, but took tbe news seriously.
The condemned men received the
sacrament from the prison chaplain.
Bogaert broke out at various stages into
loud laughter, exclaiming: "Oh, is
it not pretty? How very nice it is?"
When the priest bad concluded Bogaert
turning to tbe jailer, remarked,
with a sneer, "Does be not talk beautifully?'
He continued his gibes up
