In- stantly the lad commenced whinnying exactly like a mare. He repeated the ery several times, ending up on each oécasion with two or three little nat ural snorts. The imitation was so ex- act that not only were the foals de ceived and came galloping up to join us, but it was almost impossible to believe that it was not one of the mares that had called them. One evening when out shooting pral- rie chicken night fell upon us before We got back to the wagon, to the wheels of which we had failed to at- tach the mares properly. One of them we found close by, the other had es caped; and as It was a wet, mist night, not & sign of her was to be seen anywhere. Then if was that the boy's accomplishment proved most useful, for while his 'father and I remained by the rd the youth sallied forth into (he foggy darkness, making a sound to imitate the voice of a foal. He was absent for half an hour, but returned triumphant with the missing mare. The way that boy could also imitate ducks and geese was simply marvelous. 'Well do I remember a trick he played one evening in the reeds. He had join. ed me, anknewn to his father, who was standing about fifiy y4its away in the tall rushes, waiting for the wild fowl which did not come. Crouching down by my side, so that he could watch his parent, the mischiévous youth several tmes imitated the cry of wild geese at a distance, then he made them seem nearer, until apparently overhead. The old sportsman was instantly on the alert, craning his neck and peering in all directions for' the fowl. At last, frantic at not being able to see them, the old man shouted out to me, wildly: "Where are othe geese? Where are they? "Here, father," answered the boy, rising from the reeds and bursting into & roar of laughter. It was lucky for him that there was upon that occasion a deep pool be. tween him and his outraged parent which enabled him to make tracks for home before the old boy could get around. y It was once' my lot to come across & native in quite another part of the world who possessed similar accom- plishments. 1 cannot say that while he was with me he put them to any useful purpose, although he certainly afforded considerable variety and amusement during a trying Journey. 1 Wis traveling through the Abyssinian Province of Bogos, with my Egyptian staff officer, an English servant and a bofiyguard of rapscallions who called themselves Bashi-Bazopks. They were & mixed lot--Abyssinlans Beni Ameer, Ameer Arabs, negroes and all sorts, and a merry, undisciplined crew they were indeed. The native that I refer to was #n' Abyssinian, and he was the prin- cipal wag, or bugoon, of the scrowd. The country 1 was passing through was of the wildest description; it was, moreover, full of wild beasts of every Kind. Apart from the troops of hideous grimacing baboons met with on the cliffs of the rocky passes, there were everywhere traces of Jions, hyenas, wolves and Jackals, and these animals, some of which we saw daily, used to make night hideous with their horri- ble howlings. My retainer, the Abys- sinian, was, however, not content with letting us be disturbed by the real howlings of the actual wild "beasts, for he would have his little joke. On several occasions, when we least expected it and were marching along In some narrow jungle clad ravine, the whole cavalcade would be stopped by a terrible noise in the thorny bushes, which frightened the horses and camels and, at times, even the i At one time it would be a wild dog, bark- ing furiously, at another a hyena howling or leopard snarling, and upon 8 third occasion a sound would be 4 hard as of two jackals fighting over A carcass.

HH POWELL, CARPENTER AND JOBBER, » THE DAILY WHIG, SATURDAY 103 Raglan Street. HE TR be approach We all made ready to rise, but Mus- tapha Effendi was already on his feet when from this distance 'of only about three yards, in the darkness, a terrific and deafening roar burst upon the startled night. The roar was followed by the horrible gruff cough, several times repeated, which is still mgge ter- rible, as it usually precedes a kill So Nonlike was the sound, although expecting it, I was momentarily alarm- ed myself and grasped my revolver. Others seized: their weapons also, for it seemed impossible that such a volume of sound could come from any throat but that of the veritable king of beasts. In the mi¢antime- where was the great lion slayer, Mustapha Effendi Ramzie? The Sound of flying feet rat- tling over the gravelly bed of the khor was all that was left of him now. So we sent "the lion" in pursuit, which was continued with roar after roar, the sound reverberating on the cliffs and dying away into the darkest recesses of the ravine. Meantime ev- ery soul In camp was convulsed with laughter, as the men poured their favorite "tedge" down their throats and drank to the courage of the Egyp- tion staff officer. But now comes the point of my joke. This practical joke came very near to ending tragically for either the pursuer or the pursued, for suddenly at no great distance up the lion renowned Khor Ansaha, was heard an answering roa, and then n- other, nearer at hand. A real Hon had taken up the challenge, and it was now our turn to be alarmed. Seizing brands from the fire and firing off rifles as we went, a party of us rushed up the rocky defile after the two men; the rest, by my order, rushed to guard the picketed animals, for there was no knowing how many of the brutes there might be about, and Hons often roar on purpose to make the terrified ani mals break away and then seize them. The reports of the rifles, the shouts and, above all, the roaring of the real lion, had soon had their effect in caus- ing the flying staff officer to halt, ter- ror-stricken, between, as he imagined, two leonine foes and the sham lion, to come back faster than he went, all the roar taken out of him. Fortunately by the time we reached poor Mustapha, to find him petrified with fear, the hubbub made by the re- lieving force had driven the lon, which had been all too successfully "called" back to the fastnesses of the hills, From that time forward the crest- fallen staff officer never mentioned the word lion, but the Abyssinian wag, whose imitative skill had called some- thing more tangible than "spirits from the vasty deep" from the dark re- cesses of the mountains, became the hero of thie expedition. CHANGE AT NIAGARA. River Water Let Into' the Forebay-- Beautiful Cascade Formed. The completion of the first portion of the Ontario Power Co.'s works at Niagara Falls was marked by the ad- mission of water to the forebay on i June 20. The big wing dam, the con- "Struction-of which was one of the most difficult and spectacular of the under- takings in connection with the develop- ment, was plerced and the water, which Is fifteen feet deep outside, was slowly admitted. The stream ran down over the great expanse of river bed, which has been ' bare for several years, to the astonish- ment of all visitors, and found its way through the screens, gates and sluices, which will hereafter guide the flow of water. As the tower works and power: house of the company are not compiet- ed, the head gates of the great conduit were closed, and the water stopped when it reached them and began to rise. A corps of engineers watched its pro- gress eagerly, and all went along with- out hitch or difficulty. The water rose rapidly and filled the wide basin, lap- ping around the shores of the new is- lands and finding its way into many queer places' which did not éxist when old Niagara was turned out of his an- cient pathway for a season. For the first and last time the river bed has been laid bare. Now the water has resumed its sway and the great expanse of rock bed is hidden forever. It took a number of hours for the water to fill the basin, but finally it came to the top of the overflow walls and began to pour over in a beautiful cascade, which will henceforth be one of the prettiest sights around the Falls. Visitors will be unable to comprehend the vast work that was necesgary and the immensity of the walls and crete and stone which had to be buiit to turn Niagara from its natural course and make it the , servant of mam. ne The Kongo dwarfs, six specimens of which have been brought to London ¢by Col.

Britain's Latest Type of Battleship Shows Various Alterations -- Elec- tricity Employed Wherever Possible =A Great Battery Containing Ten 75 Inch Guns On the Main Deck-- How Econemy of Space Is Effected. The great length of the Triumph, 436 feet between 'perpendiculars, is very observable as one approaches her when afloat, and gives the Impres- sion of a somewhat low freeboard. Such, however, is not in reality char- acteristic of this 'war vessel Her freeboard at the bow is 21 feet 6 In. but as she has a rising sheer aft, the freeboard at the stern is 19 feet § in. and the height of the centres of the two 10-inch guns forward above the load waterline is 23 feet § inches, the corresponding centre height aft being about two feet less. The height of Centres of the main deck battery 7.5- Inch guns is 13 feet 2 inches, or rath- ér more than that of the main deck battery 6-inch guns of the King Edward VIL, making, however, the: angle heel required to bring the centre of the muzzles to water Tevel rather less than that of the last named ship, in consequence, of course, of the much greater length of the 7.54imch guns. Great Gun Battery. A striking feature of the Triumph is the main deck open battery, contain- Ing ten 75-inch guns. It is enclosed by ji-inch Krupp steel armer on the sides, with diagonal bulkheads of §- inch steel armor at the' ends. gun positions, but there is no longti- the guns in the rear, waich is to be re- gretted. The ammunition is brought up to each separate pesition by electric hoists, which can work with great Fa- pidity, and are an jmmenes improve- ment on the old whip hoisting gear. head railway to be run infor housing inboard, when the vessel is at sea, by a small hydraulie engine, this replac- ing the differenfial blocks and hand chain gear for the inch guns of Ad- miraity vessels. The ammunition also has a hoist for carrying the projec. tiles into posfiion, but, as a matter of practice, we understand that the blue- Jackets prefer to lift the 200-pounder at the point, another at the base. Tele- scopic sights are placed upon the left side of fhe guns, which give the most admirable restits in firing practice. The range covered by them is from 13,000 to 14.000 yards, but the most effective range of the 75-inch gun is rather within tHose limits, Economy In Space. It Is needless to say that, with ten guns of so large a size and the mess tables and all the fittings and gear of the enclosed battery, the space is rather crowded; but the tables fold up, so as to economize room, and the covers of the ammunition hoists are 'compact and well placed. The gun positions themselves have plenty of room. The number of rounds fired from each gun per minute gives an average of five without any difficulty, and the officers on board speak well of the 7.5-inch gun, as being quite as handy as a 6-inch. The 14-pounder guns on board are practically similar to the ordinary 12- pounder gum employed in our Ad- miralty vessels, and will, we under: stand, take the same ammunition. The 6-pounder gun is a specialty, with a breech screw of very simple charac- ter, widening out in. diameter from the breech face to the interior of the gun, 80 that it could not possibly be blown out... Pompoms are employed in the tops, and are not regarded with equan- fmity by the bluejackets, owing to their disagreeable noise and habits of jump- ing. This was found to be the case in South Africa, where many of the guns were put out of action by the smash- ing of the pivot and jaw by which the 8un was secured to the carriage. On the bridge of the Triumph the noise is distracting when these guns are fired. Ventilation Imperfect. The cranes for lifting boats in and out are most serviceable A steam- boat weizhing fifty tons can be picked up, swung round, and dropped into the water as easily as a dinghy, and the hang-over is very far-reaching. It is true that they present a larger sur face to the fire of an enemy than an ordinary boom, but they are in dupli- cate, in case one should be disabled Five large dynamos supply the elec- the ship, and an infinity of motors. All the ammunition hoists are operated by electricity, and many of the other movements on board are similary worked. There is rather a deficiency of pow- er in the ventilating department on board, the fans employed and the ven- tilating trunks being of smaller size than those usually supplied to Admir- alty-built vessels. In point of fact, their absence in many plac: where usually found in our batii os is most conspicuous. The roswt is thet below the armored deck the h-at is intense, and what this part of the ship will be like when she is stationed in the tropics--if ever--it is impossible to conceive. Even in this cool country it is unpleasantly warm down below. And & considerable depth. Comfort For the Crew. The accommodation on board the Tri- umph is excellent Bathrooms, lava- tories, and a capital smoke room are parts of the ward-room officers' attri- palace. In the Chilian navy many of the officers who are in the ward-room in the navy ¢f Grea: Britain belong to the gun-room mess, While on board we were shown the spot where the Triumph was rammed by the heavy Trinity barge. It was beneath the counter. Happily, how- ever, the 8-inch armor plate extending ta the stern, received tha barge's steel stem as it drove inward, and only the upper strake of ordinary plating was crushed up The 3-inch armor plate saved the ship. Tha Triumph ean keep up her tweniy knots with comparative ase, and has done so.--London Engi neer. ------------------ Perfectly pure soda water, pure ice cream, pure fruit syrune. and larwve, thin glasses at Wade's soda fonntain, the Madoc mine has been received by Stephen Wellington, . thr Only one person in fifteen has perfect tric power for all the requirements of | the only workshop is buried down at ! of | One- | Inch' steel screens divide the several | tudinal web of this strength isolating | The guns are Hfted up to the over shell by hand, two men Hfting it, one ! | butes and the gun-room is a perfect.) eyes, the largest percentage of defects prevailing among fair-haired people, inn PSYCHINE Has Made Him a Strong, Healthy Man Ha; Brought Him From a Bed of Lingering lliness Where He Hovered Be- . tween Life and Death.
