I waa driving In a buggy with a friend through one of the flneat of Lueknows streets, on the way to the palace, when we suddenly noticed the deierted condition of that part of the dly.

Juat then we came upon the body of a woman which looked aa if It had been trampled to death on the pavement On we went No citizen wae In eight, and the houaee everywhere were rioted. The next thing we eaw wae the figure of a youth lying dead upon the road. On the top of a neighboring honae I cpled one of the klng'a trooper, intently looking np the road. "What le the matter?" I called. The man eater la loose. Wallah! be hai turned. Look ont for yonr eafety, snlilbs. He le wild I had heard of the fierce animal owned by the troopers. He I coming! Take carer shouted the man. Far ahead we could see the brute, a large bay horse, coming toward us. He caught eight of the vehicle, and rushed forward to attack. We turned rapidly round, and our horse, almost unmanageable from terror, flew over the road. Away we went In a mad gallop toward an enclosure with Iron gates. As we sped we could hear 'the furious clatter of hoofs groivlng nearer and nearer. We gained the gates; my companion leaped from the buggy and closed them. The monster rushed up and stood looking savagely, his nostrils distended, his glaring eyeballs as ferocious as guy wild beasts. He saw that he was foiled, turned, kicked the iron bars, and made for an archway, where a party of troopers was awaiting him. They skillfully noosed the brute, muzzled him and led him away. That evening I mentioned the Incident to tbqjclug. I have often beard of the man eater. He must be a ferocious beast" More savage than a tiger. Tour Majesty." A tiger! ' Good! He shall fight a tiger.

The next day we all assembled In a courtyard to see the fight The man eater was standing In a great enclosure made by bamboo rails. Burrheas cage was brought, and the beautiful creature was let loose. The man eater fixed his eyes on the tiger, lowered bis head and waited. The tiger bounded with rapidity,, and 'landed on the horse's haunches. Up went the Iron heels, and Burrbea lay sprawling. After this the tiger was more cautious. Round and round the enclosure be went with catlike tread. For fully ten minutes he kept- - up the march then, quick as lightning, sprang. The man eater was ready, and ducked his head low. Burrbea leaped to his back, - and In an instant those terrible iron heels were lashing up and down. The tiger was thrown helplessly to the ground, and lay with broken jaw crying out with pain.. The king gave . a signal, the door of the cage was opened, and the poor, defeated Burrhea rushed in and burled himself in the farthest corner. The man eater stood erect and triumphant etn" ed ." . THE "A 8" DISASTER. Each new invention brings possibilities of danger with It, the learning of which comes through practical and often sad experience. While the lesson works for; future safety, it is sometimes a tragic one, as waa the recent sinking of a British submarine boat. The story of the catastrophe is tod in the London Standard ly a witness who was on board the trawler Chanticleer, and helped rescue the four survivors of the boat. ' When I first saw the submarines they were going at a high rate ofr speed and bearing down directly toward us. There was a lieutenant in the cone of the last boat, which was marked No. A 8." I con Id spot him by the two gold rings round his ruffs. I take it he saw he could not cross our bows, and decided to change direction so as to pass under our stern. He called something down belovy. Such boats are steered by a wheel close under the conning tower. The helmsman cannot see where he Is going, and can only obey instructions. When the lieutenant shouted below to change rourse, the man at the wheel must have spun his helm hard over. The boat came curving round in a hiss of white froth, and began instantly to heel over. Any small craft whose helm Is suddenly Jammed over will be thrown broad on her side. I have seen naval picket boats almost capsized by the same cause. The submarine came swerving round In s way that brought my heart into my throat. The lieutenant saw what was going to happen. I heard him roar out in a startled voice: What are you doing? You'll hare as over The submarine rolled until its cone was fiat on ihe water. The four men were flung off the deck. Then there came a strange sobbing s'und, a ud all of a sudden it ravished. It was a shocking thing; one instant a big, gleaming boat buzzing through a race of foam, the next a blank sea with four men struggling in it I dropped the helm and ran forward, crying out to my mates, who were and as pale as death, Out boat to save life!" How we ever did It I shall never understand. We must have had the strength of giants given us for the occasion, for we shouldered the heavy punt, sixteen feet long, until its keel rested on the bulwark rail, and then run it sheer overboard. We were only Just in time. One of the men, a petty officer, bad heavy sea boots and oilskins on which were dragging him down, and the lieutenant was doing all that mortal could to support him. We pulled them all lu. Are there any more of you lu that sunken craft?" Fifteen more! came the answer, and the lieutenant put bis band to his eyes and groaned. We put the survivors on board the torpedo boat, and then I could have sat down and cried with the horror of it After that we got our own boat on hoard again and bore away to sea. ut AMERICAN PRISONERS OF 1S12. In his 'article In Harpers on the American prisoners of war of 1812 at Dartmoor, John G. McNeel tells of an attempt to escape from the prison which rivals the famous attempt to escape from Libby Prison: A committee was formed to watch both guard and prisoners to see that no undue comnmnlncatioii went on between them, and enough were told off to do the work while others rested, rouand all went on In the every-da- y tine as usual. On the 20tb, after taking most careful measurements, the digging was begun. A shaft was to be sunk in. both prisons to a depth of twenty feet, and then at- this depth s tunnel 250 feet long was to be begun. This would carry the excavation beyond the outer wall, w.hicb extended down six feet to the plane of the road outside. The work progressed rapidly, but the great difficulty was to dispose of the loose earth. It was done in this way: A little at a time was emptied Into the stream which ran through the court at four miles an hour, each of the men emptying a small quantity when unobserved. They also obtained per mission to bring some lime into the prison under the pretense of whitewashing the walla This they mixed with the dirt and plastered on the walla whitewashing over it. No. S being un occupied, and no guard being posted (here, digging was also, begun in that prison. A large hollow spot was soon found, and large quantities of earth were removed to lb A lamp was kept lighted to expel the foul gas, and In a month the tunnel had grown to forty feet In September the tunnel had much increased, and the openings were so cleverly concealed that they were not discovered by the guard. They were so small at the top that but one man could squeeze in, although within the tunnel four could work abreast. On the Sth, to the horror of all. Captain Sliortland entered the prison with a large guard, and walking directly towards the hole, said he knew of the work In No. 5, but as his informant had not told him correctly, he could not find it The guard then began to sound the entire floor with crowbars, carbut so carefully had ried on that It was a long time before the openings were discovered, lie then questioned many as to what they had done with the earth, but all answered that they ate it. To prevent further attempts the prisoners were removed from the yard which enclosed Nos. 6, 6. 7, into the enclosure on the north side which con talned Nos. 1, 2, 3, but as there was no suspicion of the attempt in No. 4, that prison was left as it was. The other tunnels were filled with large stones, and the captives were kept in No. 2 while this was done, and then removed to No. 4, as No. 2 was badly out of repair. The prisoners did not give up all hope, but for the present kept very quiet. A court of inquiry was held, and several were tried, but as the penalty was death the evidence wat not considered sufficient to convict. Afterward the discovery of the plan was thought to have been made through the turnkeys hearing voices In the tunnel. - 1 WHEN THE LIONS GOT LOOSE Some men are naturally fitted to tackle a lion, others are doomed if chance brings ntiont so undesirable meeting. The unfortunate man whom Hons have killed at Blackpool is of the latter category. It is by no means certain. however, that the three Inmates of the den into which he so unwisely entered attacked him. Thrre was a similar adventure at Astley's. A man entered the theatre In the early morning and found to his horror that the four lions there had broken their cage. One gave hliu blow with Its paw, then took him in its mouth. The blow from a lious paw is said to be, after the stroke of a whule's tall and the kick of a giraffe, the strongest thing In nature. So that the victim was dead when the keeper went to the rescue. Only one lion had concerned itself with the man, and was now sitting over lilin as a dog sits over a bone. Two of the Hons were playing on the stage with a property" garland and the fourth was seated lu the roysl box, placidly surveying the gambols on tbe stage and the terrible banquet in the auditorinm.
