JLucas not J been in, perfect health, and in the enjoyment of a, sound consti tution at t le time of the accident, his arm must li?ve been amputated. ; Lucas states, that jhe had not been two seconds in the' cage before he 3rceived his danger; ;He had omitted to take with him -his : usual wfeapons,- and; "had only a flight ridiog whip in his habdlj . For an instant he lost sight of the j.lione?s, who, no longer per- ceivea ins eyes nxed on hers, seized him bv the . I . .-':...

It was at this awful moment that Jose Meudez, an attached servant of. Lucas, , dashed nto the cage with a revolver, with : the butt end 4f which he dealt a heavy blow at the- lioness's head, which compelled her to srive no her nrev. 3Jendez,i with marvejous strength, made a spring at the lion and threw him iuto the biick of the cage; then, leveling th weapon ! at the animals with his right arm, pushed ; the bleeding main out of thei reach by his feet, j It was only then that the other attendants came ! to jthe rescue, and with an iron bar wrenched open the . bars of rthe cage, enabling .JMendezi to eflectj his escape backward, dragging Lucas with hiiii, but never lowering his right arm, with which he grasped the revolver. The heroic! conduct of jtfendez deserves record, and may well rank with deeds of daring which have won sta-s and crosses on fields of battle. I J The poor fellow speaks of his noble conduct as a matter of course, and in his Franco-Spanish I patois says ho would have al lowed the beasts to devour him rather than have let them ktll his master.' jThe lions ex hibited by Lucajs wei-e purchased by him1 .from a Spanish grandc, thp: Duke of j lliv;is, who has fifty of these animals in his possession for train ing purposes.

I Her cubs are now useless, as, having smelt and tasted" human blood, it will be impossible to tame them tor future-exhibitions. When the ijoung animals have never smelt blood they are 4wia ble, but not. at ter.

It' is a strange' business, tliia diring! Th danger fascinates some, but th peril b never fox a moment lost sight of. I put on tbq helmet for thc-Grst time mure than ten years ago, and yet I never resume it without a feeling that it may be tho L;st time t bhall ever go down. Of course one has more confidence after while, but there is something in being shut up in aa armor, weighed down with a hundred pounds, and knowing tint a little leak i,u your life pipo is jrour death, that no diver can ejet get rid of. And I do not know that I shoiild care to banuh the feeling, for the sight of the clar, blue sky,. the genial sun, and the face f fellow man, after long hours among the fishes, makes you feel like one who has suddenly been drawn away from the grasp of death. I have had some nar row escapes while pursuing-myi I Strange profes sion; every diver has, or has been unusually lucky tor escape them. ' i 1 think the most dangerous place I ever got into was going down to cxami'uo ihe propeller Comet, sunk off Toledo. In working about her bottom, I got my air pipe coiled ! over a largo sliver from the stoven hole, and could not reach, it with my hands. Every time I sprang up to remove the hose my tender wjuldj give me the slack" of the line, thus letting mo fall, back again.. lie did not understand his duties, aai; did not know what my signal on tho . life-line meant. It was two hours and a half before I1 was relieved, and there wasn't k m6mcnt that I was not looking to see the hose cut by the rag ged wood. It's a strange feeling you have down, there. You go walking over avcsscl. clamber- ng up her sides, peering here and there, and the feeling that you arc alone makes you uneasy. Sometimes a vessel sinks down so fairly that she stands up on the bottom as trim and as neat : as if she rodo on the surface. Then you can g down into the cabin, up the. shrouds, walk all . over her, just as easily as a feailor could if she were still dashing away before the brecro.! Only it seems so ljuict, so. tomb-like; there are no waves down there only a swaying back and forth of the waters, and a sco-sawing of tho ship-" jTou hear, nothing from above. I The great flshct , will come swimming about, rubping their noses against your glass, and staring with a wooderingt look into your eyes. The very stillness Borne ' times'gives life a chill. You hear just a moan- , ing, wailing sound, like tho lat notes of an organ, and you cannot help but thiipk of dead men floating over and around you. . i j i I have been" down especially to rescue tha bodies of those !drowncd. Abijot four years ago the propeller Buckeye, belonging to tho Norths em Transportation Company, wipnt down! in the river St. Lawre'nce, in sevcnSy-cight feet of, water, aud it was known that a mother and child were asleep in their state room! atj tho time of' her sinking.. The father bejrgcd of me and offered me a good deal of Money, to take out the corpses, and though I dreaded f last consented. I had been all two or three times and knew statcroouPw'asl ,Tho door was I waited a good while before bu: tho work, I at over the wreck just where the fast locked, and rstingit open. Of course, a dead person couldnft harm you, -but even in broad day, oh s!iorc,'ahd with people around you, don't you k.uow thfrt tho eight and presence of a dead person briiiigH up solemn thoughts and nervous feelings (i knew how : they would look, how they werej flcwting around in the room, and if the father hadut been look ing so wretched above there was no money ta tempt me in there. But, at laet, I got a crow bar forwards, and, not letting myself think, pava the light door a blow that etovc ! it in. The water came rushing out, the vessel just then lurched over toward my side, ami out they came, the woman rst, her eyea wide open and hair trailing behind, and iu her left hand she bdi the hand of tne child. I knew! how they would ' look, but I screamed out, an3 jamped back. Her face was fearfully distorted, showing how hard death had been made, aud the eyes looked through the green waters at me its a way that made my flesh creep. The childj had died easily, its little white face giving out mo sign of terror. 1 It was a good while before I fjstucd the line to them and gave the. signal to haul upj and I felt so uneasy that I was not longjin following. This is one of the drawbacks to any feeling of, curiosity a diver might otherwise! have. I nevfr go down the hatchway or the cabiti steps with- . out thinking of a dead man floating about there. When the Img la Belle sunk on- St. Clair ; flats the engineer was caught in thcljrukh of jwatcrs and no trace was ever found of liiaj body. II ii wife came to mc, hearing that I Was to go down to the wreck, and asked mc to find tho body if possible. I remembered this wlienl went down, and went groping' through the jenginc room in momentary expectation of encountering the body. I looked so long without finding it that I got nervous, and had started for th? ladder to go up, when I felt something strike! ray helmet and give way, and a chill went dancing over me as I , thought the dead body was at tapd. But, oa reaching up, I found that I hadjrUu against thf fire hose, the end of which wasjhanging down,; and what I so dreaded was still hidden beyond my sight. V j j A diver docs net like to go dowin more than a. hundred aud twenty feet; at Itliat depth the pressure is painful and there isdangr of internal . injury. I can stay down for fivi prsix hours at a .time at a hundred and fifteen or twenty feet and do a good deal of hard work.! j In the, waters t of Lake Huron the diver can see thirty or forty , feet away, but the othr lakes will iBcrcen a vessel not tea fect from you. I I I Up here you seldom think! of accident or death, but a hundred feet of water washing over your head would set you to thinking. A little ftopage of the air pump, a leak jin your hoso,'a careless action on the part of your tender, and the weight of a mountain . would press the lif out of you before you could inakc a movo. . Abd you may "foul" your pipe or liob youreclfraud ' id your haste bring on what you dread. ' I 'often , get my hose around a atair or railj and though I am not called cowardly, and generally rebaao it without much trouble, the bare idea of what a n slender ihing holds backi the clutch of death off J my throat, makes a cold j sweat start from every porcv'"' ', "-. -J j ": 1 1 : r '. !
