Some one said one? thnt the more , ho saw of dogs the lowor opinion ho had of men. After thirty odd years , 1 v .{ : y nearly r? ,j , it:! > v ( . tin a leva In i.., ..... .t>\ . > Ceorge CoJiKlin ot' tl?o Itanium and Dalley Circus, I d chango that saying a l)it. I'd sav, "The nioro I see of men, the better I unrit rstand animals," for in every way th? four- i footed beasts have the traits and sire moved by the same passions that} move their two-footed brethren. Love, hate, fear, courage, treachery, viclousness, Jealousy, anger, ! selfishness, generosity, greed, self- J Baeritice, every passion of which men ' are capable, the animals have, though of coune, they are intensified. No matter how good tempered an animal may ho, no matter how placid. how timetable, lie is liable at any moment to change to a dangerous, bloodthirsty creature, intent only on slaying his trainer. In the very tractabllity of an animal lies the greatest danger to the trainer. It makes him careless. The watchfulness which U will use with an animal of which he is uncertain is allowed to lapse, and it is that moment of carelessness for which th^ nniinnl 1b ever 011 the alert. To such lapses are duo 95 per cent of the accidents and attacks on animal trainers. A Hon will work himself up into a frenzy of rage through jealousy. There is one trainer 1 know who was almost killed by a lioness who was jealous, not of another animal, hut o' a woman. The trainer was in the cage at the time, when he saw his daughter outside the ergo, lie smiled at her and the lioness saw it. In a moment she changed. Her docility changed to fury and she sprung at him. He was terribly torn before he was dragged out of the cage. Animals get used to st angers looking at them from outside t lie cage, but a stranger inside the cage would have little show of escaping with his life. Evun experienced trainers hesitate about entering a cage until they get the beast used to seeing them and to hear theii voices. Animals will nurse a grudge for years and wait for an opportunity to have revenge lor some real or fancied ill treatment by man or mate. Tills is particularly true of elephants. We had a helper once?it was ilfteen years ago?who used to tease Jug, an old bull, on every chance he got. The man was with the show only 0110 season. Ten years later mui man was nearly killed by Jug in a little town In the West, where the man lived and the show visited. The animal remembered his old enemy and reached out from the street parade, seized the man and badly crushed him. The most treacherous animals are the leopards and jaguars. You hear people, particularly women, call them "poor pussy" as they 1 e blinking and purring. Lot tluiu get close and they would 11 nd that "pussy" would scratch. Their slyness and cunning are wondei ful, and j they will spring at their trainer the j instant his back is turned. No two animals tire the same. They have individualities and characteristics like peoplo. Lions particularly, are like men. They are slow to anger, but when their temper is aroused, they are furious. For children elephants often form a strong attachment. They tako instinctively to some people, while for others they always hold bitter animosity. All this teilk about the power of the human eye is tommyrot. It's nerve, pure and simple, that makes a man a trainer. Let a trainer lose it only for a moment, and the ani' mals instinctively feel it and attack him. An animal knows when you're ) afraid of him, and he'll tnke advantage of your fear. The only thing he respects is pain, and the truest friend a trainer has is a heavy raw' hide whip, with one end loaded with i lead. . ^ istiimnig walls With Bags. The practice of constructing breakwaters and submerged parts of piers with concrete Inclosed in bags has been largely developed in Scot'and. The concrete is prepared as near as possible to the place where it Is to bo used. It is inclosed In bags to protect It temporarily from the effects of contact with the sea water while It Is lowered into place. The bags are placed in a box suspended directly over the spot where they are to lie.

From Vienna comes tho story of , an aged couple who have been married one hundred years. They live in the Hungarian village of Isonbolgi. The husband is said to be 120 , years old and his wife 116.

That political party which figures 1 every four years in a small way and ' delights to call itself Socialists, re- 1 sents with scorn the imputation that 1 they have anything in common with the anarchists. They declare that ' they are for law and order in a way, but that, they would make sweeping changes in the existing order. They deny most emphatically that they are anarchists, and the vehemence of this denial has drawn a consid-Mal le number of nure or less harmless cranks Into their ' anlcs. The nomination of a boy and"* 'he constitutional age, who is serving a 2.">-year sentence for manslaughter, to be President of the United States shows more clearly than words can exnress. the true inwardness nf tliel Socialists.

The hundred t ewspnpor men mid women gathered at Gaffney are representatives of that which is best and noblest in South Carolina. The gathering is thoroughly representative. Not all the newspaper workers in the State are here and the pity is that more are not here to join in the pleasures that have been provided; to talk shop and enjoy a brief and needed rest.

Dr. Lodge said that he thanked God that there was not a single yellow journal in South Carolina; this was simply saying that there is not a dishonorable or unclean newspaper published in all Carolina.

In their investigation of the wells and underground waters of Florida the geologists of the United States Geological Survey have noticed many interesting things. Among these is a well at Welaka, on the St. John's River, from which two kinds of water are obtained. Tins well is oOD f-ec deep. The length of thocusing 110 feet The well was tirst drilled 1(50 feet, and from this depth ordinary "sulphur" water was obtained. The well was then earriedd to a depth of 300 feet, whete it encountvued a strong mineral watt:, having a disagreeable mi'-.v taste. In order to use both knds of water an Inner tubing was run nearly to the bottom of the well. Roth this and the outer casing were connected with pumps, so that ordinary water and mineral water can he pumped at the same time. A favorite jkoe played on visitors is to give them a drink of the weaker water in the first glass and to replace it with the brine in the second. Not more than half a dozen wells of thi^ kind are known in the conn try, hut. there is no reason why simi ilar wells can not be obtained in regions where the waters in the upper strata differ front those lying deeper. < In these investigations of the waiters of Florida the National and State surveys are cooperating, and much valuable information has been gathered during the wntor's work.

The danger of any union between China and .Japan, for aggressive purpose, does not loom as large as it, undoubtedly, did three or four years ago, Indeed, between China and .Japan, there are evidences of strained relations, consequent to Japan's hold on to Mam huria, which it almost looks as if site is ready to divide with Russia. The island empire has also lost, rather than gained by her forceful attitude in her recent collision with China, over the seizure of arms, imported from Japan, presumably for the use of rebels in China. And it may be that the passage of the fleet of the United States into Pacific waters had a deeper meaning than that which has been heretofore attached to it. Without control of the sea, Japan's fine army would find it most difficult to make any serious impression on the great celestial empire, and while it would crumple up the army of China, should the flatter kingdom accept the gauge of battle and contend for mastery in the plains of Manchuria, the destruction of Japan's fleet would lead to the inevitable discomfitnre of Japan's army in time, Possibly it is the appearance of the fleet of the United States on the Pacific coast, which has enabled the astute Japanize to realize the possibities which might ensue from any undue pressure exerted on China. It is extremely doubtful that Japan could count on British support, if aggressions against China brought i remonstrances lrom the United j States; for if that was rendered them, there would he the extreme probability that intervention upo.i the part of Germany would follow and then there would ensue a struggle, in which the Napoleonic wars would grow small and pale their j f! rno "i ri * h. 4 1- ~ a. 1 i 1111 vn, 111 v.wiinnni wmi nit* manic contest thus aroused.
