Next to a man-eating tiger there is nothing that the natives of India dread more than a rogue bison. One of these beasts frequented a hillside, in the Western Ghats near which Mr. Edwin L. Arnold, who tells his ex- periences in the Cornhill Magazine, had camped. The bison slept in the woods during the hot hours, and came out to feed only at morning and at night. One day it chased and near- ly killed the wife of a native. "Unless the sahib helps us we shall all be killed," the people complained, and Mr. Arnold, determined to kill the J)ull, set out at dawn the next morning. He followed the jungle path up the hill for a mile, and there climbed a lookout point and sat down to wait for daylight. Half an hour had gone by when he looked to the north, and there, not a quarter of a mile away, standing on a rocky bluff, a huge form was silhouetted against the sky. Just below where the hunt- er was sitting ran a shallow stream, and two hundred yards down its course grew a clump of bushes. Sliding into the watercourse, the hunter crawled on hands and knees until the bushes were between him and the bison. Then, scrambling up the bank, he ran to the clump and peeped through the bushes. The bison had gone. Thinking that his quarry must be on the other side of the bluff, Mr. Arnold ran to the summit; but the bull was not in sight. For several minutes the hunter lay breathless looking this way^and that. Then he turned round and saw the huge bison glaring at him only thirty yards distant. The hunter fired hastily. The bul- let struck high between neck and shoulder, and the next minute, writh a tremendous bellow, the bull charged full tilt. He came down in a storm of dust and rattling stones; as there was no possibility of cover, the man waited until he was nearly within arm's reach and then jumped aside. Unfortunately his focrt slipped, and, as the animal went blundering by, he fell heels ovtTTiead. The beast shot past fifteen yards or more before it could pull up. The man came to a stand first, and opening the breech of his rifle, slipped in another cartridge. Again they stood facing each other. Then, catching his breath, the man fired. The shot struck fair in the breast and the animal fairly reeled. But he charged again with extraordin- ary swiftness. The hunter stepped aside and the beast lunged at liim with his horns as he passed. As the bull floundered by, another shot struck point-blank behind his ear. He went down with a tremendous thud, turned over, kicked once or twice and was dead. That evening there were great re- joicings in the village, no end of chat- tering round the big fir tree, and a great amount of drum beating and garland weaving. bitterest enemies, had she hail any. In her reference to her sister's looks, there had been no shade of flattery; and Fenella took it for what it stood - a naked statement of facts. "Oh, well, it would never do if all men admired the same sort of wo- men," she remarked, in a tone of com- plete detachment from the subject.

The site of Canopus, one of the most ancient cities of Egypt, has been found, vaccording to Daninos Pasha, who claims the honor of making the discovery. For many years he has maintained that its site lay some- where in the region of Aboukir Bay, and apparently his contention is now proved to be correct. Before the foundation of Alexandria, Canopus was the commercial capital of the country and the most import- ant religious centre in lower Egypt. Excavations have already brought to light a great public bath of the Ptolemaic period, about 150 feet in length. It is divided into twenty chambers, of which the largest is about 24 feet long and of the same width. There are rooms for various forms of baths, such a.s hip and mud baths, and a large hall which was evi- dently used for massage purposes and the preparation of aromatic oil. Bronze coins found in various rooms bear the effigies of Ptolemy Soter, Ptolemy P^nergates and Queen Bere- nice. Of the several statuettes un- earthed, the most interesting is that of a Chinese figure, which shows, it is contended, that in the dim past re- lations must have existed between China and this ancient capital of Egypt.
