A N official report recently re ceived from the managing director of a South African gold mine, situated not far from Pretoria, tells an ex traoruiuary story of lions. It says: "About 5 o'clock on Sunday morning at least seven Hons (counting the In coming spoors) attacked our goats, kill Ing live and mauling three, and also one native. About 2 p. in. a boy turned up badly scratched, saying that a Hon was eating bis companion, so we all turned out. four of us. followed by ?bout 100 Kattirs. My three compan ions stirred up a lion about *JOO yards northwest of the camp. They flred several shots, but missed, so we fol lowed the spoor. Suddenly a huge lioness jumped up about sixty feet ahead of us. 1 flred aud lilt her In the chest. She turned on her hind legs away from me aud made a Jump for L When she reached L. a shot went off somewhere, and L. went down with the lioness on top of him. 1 did not tire for fear of hitting L. Two more shots went off. and tiie lioness left L.. and I gave her another shot as she Jumped a short dl<hmee Into the lush. The affair lasted only a few minutes. L. got up and rr.n a short distance to the rear, and I hurried to attend to him. The lioness had torn his clothes and mauled his left arm. We carried him into camp, where lie died u few min utes after our arrival. "On Monday night we were again at tacked by Hons. 1 had put the remain ing goats iu the wagun shed and had thorn bushes piled up all around seven feet high, and had two lamps burning 1n the stable and the sli^d. but.Hons Jumped over the thorn bushes, broke in the door, killed several goats, and stampeded the rest. We had to shoot mostly in the air for fear of killing the horses and mules in the stable. tJreat panic among the hoys now. and they refuse to work on the night shift. Wednesday we were once ntore at tacked. but the* Hoys could do no dam age. as we hud set an armed guard in the stable. .Tudving by the spoors there , were nine 'ions here ou Sunday morn ing. 1 am securing the safety of the j camp as -?e!l as possible, ltoys are | cutting brush and working day shift i:i j the mine, but won't work at night. | Lions have been trying to dig under i the stable again. , "We had another attack about lo o'clock nt night. One lion was killed by the stable guard. 1 paid the boys the premium of ?1 each. The lioness we shot is dead also, but there are at present too many Hons In th?? bush for us to be able to get her skin. For the last three days and nights I have j scarcely had six hours* sleep, but we : hope soon ? thin all these Hons down, j I have no food for the boys now ex j cept some bran. The entire camp and j workings we have surrout.led by a i thorn bush hedge. Lions come near the j camp even iu daytime. Judging from j the peculiar howl Mid bark of the dog. j Last night a single lion got Into the , camp, lie kept very quiet. This morn-. | Ing we traced his spoor. He came in i near my hut. walked down the row of I huts, and went out near the dining 1 room hut." THE GENIUS OF TOE LAMP. Th?? title of "The Sultan of Sulu" has n comic opera sound which, a writer in Everybody's Magazine declares. is car ried out by the appearance ami behav ior of this Ori w.tai potentate. The Sul tan and his suite were once entertained at luncheon on hoard a United States transport. None of them had ever beer, on board a large vessel before. The visit was full of surprise and ex citement for them. They looked the ship over at tlrst with stolid interest, and tlie Sultan himself set off the six-pounder without flicking nil eyelid. But at last, in the saloon, some one attempted to explain the mystery of the incandescent lamps. Rial there the natives were surprised out of their reserve. Even the Sultan's face showed amazement when . nn army officer reached up and turned a lamp on and off repeatedly. His Highness ordered one of his suite to do It. The fellow's face went greenish for a moment, but. nevertheless, he reached up and trem blingly touched it as lie would have a hot brand. When he found that it did not hurt him. and that the light actu ally obeyed the impulse of his finger tips. he was the most excited Moro in the archipelago. His excitement was contagious. Nearly every one in the suHe started for a lamp on his owu ac count, and the cabin was a bewilder ment of flashing lamps. Presently Oriental cunning got the better of amazement, and one or two of tlieni tried to fool the lamps. A fel low would steal quietly up to a bulb, and, reaching forward, suddenly turn it on. evidently with the intention of catching it napping. Or he would turn It off and jump away, apparently with j the same intention. Hut the iamps re i fused to be fooled, and the facial ex pression that followed en eli failure | was ludicrous to behold. Of course, they wanted to know what I made the light. It was Impossible to give them a history of electrical devel j opment, but an officer present thought of giving them an object lesson that | would prove a short cut to knowledge. I He directed four or five of them to Itand in line, holding hands. Then the i men 011 the ends of the line were told to each grasp the brass part of a lamp, j They did so. and Instantly the entire line sustained an electric shock. They 1 were too astonished to speak, and not I knowing enough to let go. they just i stood there, with wonder and fear surg | Ing from face to face. The officers broke them apart at last and took them In to luncheon, but they were changed men. They had had an experience that passed all Oriental un derstanding. The luncheon was a more or less dig allied affair, varied by Interpreted com pliments and the agonies of the Sul tan's official taster. It was easy to see Ihnt although the taster was an hab itual necessity to the Sultan's peace of mind, on this occasion, at least, his function was purely perfunctory. Of what avail w;:s the protection of a poor human taster aga nst magicians wbo could make lamp* to bmn wltbout oU, and who could scad a genii of unreel to twitch om'? body Ilka tho torn? NSW GOVKBNOB ? HBBO. Sir William Macgregor. who has Just been appointed Governor of Newfound* land. Is one of the most remarkable men of the Brltleh Colonial service, both physically and Intellectually, and. Indeed, his herculean strength has con tributed in no small degree to Impress the savages, over whom he has been called on to rule In the past, with a sense of the power of the British Em* pire. No more remarkable Illustration of his muscular force can be given than the feat which led Queen Victoria to bestow on him the Albert medal, grauted to civilians for acts of extra ordinary gallantry, which In the army and navy would have won the Victoria Cross.* In fact, the Albert medal, wlii^h Sir William Is the only Colonial Governor to wear, may be looked on as the civilian counterpart of the Vic toria Cross. It took place while he was nigh Com missioner and Administrator of Eng land's possessions In the Pacific, with headquarters at Suva, the capital of FIJI. Tho Syria, with a shipload of Indian coolies on board, had struck on a rock at some distance from Sqva. The only way by which the vessel, which was stuck on a reef at the foot of a precipice. and being pounded to pieces by the surf. could be reached, was by means of ropes and a broken ivast. which had fallen against the side of the rlMf. Again and again Sir Will iam made the perilous Journey to and from the vrreck. either with a man or a woman on his back, and sometimes with a child held by its clothe* be tween Ii!s teeth in addition thereto. The greatest tax on his strength was, however. In connection with the rescue from the wreck of a white wo man. who had got at the spirits, was mad with drink and had'fallen over board. The captain of the ship and a police oftleor. who had gone after her, were being swept out to sea. Sir Will iam caused himself to be let down by a rope, caught the knot of the woman's hair in bis troth, and with his bunds seized the two men and dragged thciu alt three to safety. Then he wrote his report of tho disaster and of the res cue. Several of those who had taken part in the latter received the Itoyal lln<uaue Society modal. But as thero was no mention In Sir William's re port of his own services, or. in fact, of his having been upon tte scene at all, it was not until much later that the matter was brought to the attention j of the Government and by the latter j to that of the l)ueen, who, as stated | above, conferred on hlin the Albert 1 medal.

The tlrst life saved was that of nap* ry Wagoner, twelve years old, who fell from a pile of lumber off McLean's wharf Into (he rarrrnl of the Ni agara River. You?p, McLean knew that Wagoner could nut swim and quickly he was In after him. Wagoner was sinking for the second time when Mc Lean caught him i>v the leg. llelng an expert swimmer. McLean Succeed ed in keeping Wuuoncr up until taken from the stream several men who had been drawn l y the cries for help. Young McLean went home In hVs father's automobile to get dry clothes, lie was returning to the wharf loss than nn hour aft?r. when he heard a splash in the river, then cries for help. He ran to the edg<* <h the wharf, where several boys stood as though slued to the spot, and saw Henry Coyer, a hoy of his own age, siruggling in the wa ter. Again McLean dived in the river, and after a brav. light succeeded in reaching one of the supports of the dock. Here he clung with Coyer'* limp body in one .inn until assistance arrived.

They got her near enough to the shore for Nathan to grasp her and pull her out, then Barney, exhausted from the effort, sank and was drowned. Mrs. Krinsky lay on the ground about half an hour before help came. Then, in spite of all efforts of the physicians, she died. Her htffcband was summoned from Bridgeport by telephone. Hiring a team, he drove furiously *o Long Hill. In turning a corner near the scene of the accident, the carriage wheel came off and he was thrown out on his head and knocked senseless. He was brought too by the doctor, but seemed crazed. CAPTAiy BLIN1>. SHIP HELPLESS.

Wo*t tho Ciitnilnc Kuklinn Manner* to Outwit IIIH I'rey. The Eskimo manner of taking the seal is described by Ml. Tyrrell in his book. -Across the Sub-Arctics of Can ada." The author says that lie has known an Eskimo who was so expert at this kind of sport that he was ablt to seize a seal with his teeth. When a hunter spies a seal, he notes the direction of the wind, then keeping hims.df to the leeward of the seal. Ii? waiks to within a quarter of a mile ot the seal, lleyond this he begins to crouch and advances only when tlu seal's head is down. The seal is a wide-awake animal, and has the habit of throwing up its head every few sec ' onds to guard against danger. When its head is down upon the ice its eyes are shut, and it is said that iu tiles/ brief intervals it takes its sleep However this may be. the hunter, by carefuliy watching the seal's move ncnts. is able without much ditlicull) to get within about l2ot? yards of it j but at rloscr quarters he is obliged tc adopt other tactics. He now lies down at full length upon the ice. and tlu real sport begins. The seal takes the Ksklno. who i?

As the two lie there upon the loo. r most amusing sort of conversation i* kept up between them. The seal makes* remark and flips his tail. The Eski mo replies and makes a corresponding gesture with his foot. At the satin time lie throws himself a little for ward. The seal soon iias something i further to say. and again Hips his tail , The Eskimo replies as before, and stii.' frrther closes up tlu? distance between j them. When the seal's head is down, the 1 hunter, who ever keeps his eyes on hi* prey, is able to approach still nearer by dragging himself forwr.nl upon hi; elbows. This maneuvring goes on foi some time, until the distance between the performers has been reduced to n few yards, sometimes to a few feet. When near enough to make a surf shot, the Eskimo lakes his bow am' j arrow from his side and sends a swiP I s'.iaft through the head of his outwitted i prey.?You tit's Companion.

(Prom The Chicago Evening Post) Govornor Terrell, of Georgia, ham appointed a court of inqutry to tnves tigate the conduct of the jullttia which permitted the StateBboro mob to burn two negroes at the stake. He con demns the lynching in the strongest terms and regrets exceedingly that the military did not preserve the peace, adding: "They tthe soldiers) were sent there to see that the law was enforced and that peace was pre served at all hazards." This is an inquiry from which we may expect reeults. The governor as head of the state militia, has full pow er to make the investigation and to punish the officer or officers responsi ble lor tln> command that, no slots were to be fired. This order, by tlio way, wat made easy for the soldiers to obey by their officers not giving them cartridge*. It should not be at all difficult for the court of Inquiry to find out who ga\ e this order, who was resptnsiole for tho non-distribution of ammuni tion, who sided with the mob and vio lated his oath to the state. We have small hope that the authorities ot Stateshoro &nd Bulloch county will make any determined effort to punish any person who took part in the as sault on the militia or in the savage orgy which followed. But we do ex port something definite from the gov ernor's Investigation. Governor Terrell takes comfort in the fact that the action of the niob "did not represent the sentiment- of his state. Consequently he may ex pect to have the support of a majority of the citizens of Georgia In any steps he mak take to place the blame for th<? disgraceful failure of the mllfti? and to mete out adequate and salutary punishment to those who practically connived with the murderous mob l>y preventing the soldiers from doing their duty.
