This ani mal seems utterly devoid of fear and dis plays an intelligence in f ghting man strangely at variance with its apparent ly complete lack of mental attributes. , Their ability to scent men is particur larjy marked. The only thing to do when they get after you is to run oway f mm ihrm &a f sjt as a hcrso lean carry you, and then there is no certainty that a swift as a borse,and their. endurance . is as great as their viciousnesf. A. friend of mine encountered a drove cf thcia in a wild part of llexico a few years ago, and i his escape was almost mimculous 1 1 very foolishly shot and wounded a number cf them. Then he took refuge in a-tree. ; . The peccaries kept him in tho tree all that day and through tho night. .They circled round the tree, grunting and squealing their delight at tho prospect cf a feast. He soon exhausted his am munition and brought down a peccary at each fire, but this had no terrors for . tho beasts. ' ; 'I Toward morning they began to eat those ho bad killed, after which they formed in line and trotted off. If they bad not bad some of their own number to devour, they would have guarded that tree until my friend, through sheer exhaustion, dropped from his perch and allowed them to make a ineal of him. Tim wildcats and tigers that infest tho Mexican wilds fleo from the pec caries with instinctive fear, and even rattlesnakes kern out of thir path.

An Intereetinsr Deecrlptlo t ta Mrchtilim Had Uae of the Eea-.Witn m TrwthCaned 8e Shavrlt Story At taehmeat. "How do you ascertain the speed cf a vessel?" is a question frequently ad dressed to naval men, and ah explana tion will therefore probably be cf inter est to many readers. There are several methods, tho commonest and most an cient being by the use cf the "log." This instrument consists cf three parts the logship, the line and the marks. The logship is a piece cf wood about half an inch thick and shaped like a quadrant, with a 'piece of lead let it round the circular edge to make it float perpendicularly in the water. It is slung by lines at each angle, the three lines being joined together about two feet from the logship. Two of the lines are securely fixed to the ship and the other has a bene peg at the end, which, being pushed into a hole in the ship, tempo rarily fastens it there. From the point of juncture of tho three lines a suCicient length is measured, generally about 100 feet, to take the logship well clear of the'ship's wash. This is called the "stray line" and is marked with a piece of bunting. From the bunting is measured 47 feet 3 inches, and the line marked here with a piece of leather. Then another 4 7. feet 3 inches is measured off and marked with two knots, then another space the same length, and marked with' threo knots, and so on as far as seven knots. Halfway between each batch of knots one single kuot is made. The leg lino is then ready for uf-e, Tho spaco between tho knots is found from the MmpJe little rule cf three sum : As 3, COO seconds (number of seconds in an hour), 28 Feconds (length cf sand glass), C.0S0 feet (number of feet in a nautical mile); length cf line required which works out to 4? feet 3 inches.1 To uso the log four persons are re quired two : men to bold the reel on which the lino is wound; tho quartermaster,-to bold the glass, and the mid shipman of tho watch, to heave the log. The last named puts the peg firmly in the legship and then gathers three or four coils of lino in his hand, sufficient to admit of tho legship being thrown well clear of the ship. He asks, V Clear glass, quartermaster?" ' i "Clear glass, sir!! ccmes the reply, and overboard go the logship and line, the reel rapidly revolving. Presently the middy. feels tho piece of bunting passing through his hand, and he gives tho order, "Turn." Tho quartermaster tcriTM tlM jefeea aol watches the sand while one "reeler" holds the reel well over hi3 bead, so as to give the line fair play. When'fthe sand has run out, "Stopl" cries'the quartermaster. ; The midshipman grasps tne line, as sisted by tho ether reeler, and looks for tho nearest knot, finding a single one close to his hand. Then the line is haul ed in, and four knots appear, which' signify that the ship is going four and" a half knots through the water. The jerk cf tho lino draws the peg from the logship, which now floats on its flat side and is easily.hauled in. When ship is going over four knots, a 14 sec ond glass is used, the speed being double that shown by the knots on the lino. : Another method in use is tho patent log. This is altogether mechanical and consists of a long cylinder with clock work insido it and four fins on the out; side. It is towed astern of the ship by a line made fast to a swivel in the head of it As it is dragged through the wa ter tho four fins make it revolve, actu ating the clockwork inside, which regis ters on a 6eriesof dials the number of knots run, This log has to be hauled in every time ono wants to read it, but thcro is another kind where the fan is towed astern and the dial is a fixture in tho ship. This is called a "cherub. V Theso logs are not always accurate, and are constantly verified when near land by cross bearings that is,' the bearings cf two well known points are taken, and the, position so obtained is marked cn tho chart, the time of obser vation being note4 and the reading on the patent log. After an interval has elapsed tho position of the ship is again taken by' cross bearings, when the straight lino joining the two places on the chart will show the direction of the course steered and its length the distance run. A comparison with the readings by patent log will give the error of the machine. '.To finish here is a patent log yarn, as told by an old messmato. I give it in his own words: "When in the Crocodile in tho Red sea, just after taking the reading .ne night at 8 o'clock, tho quartermaster reported, 'Shark taken the patent log, sir 1 I got another one over at once. At 9 :30 next morning we stopped for half an hour. To amuse the ladies I tried for and caught a shark. On opening him we found our patent log, and," he added gravejy, "strange to say, it registered the same as the one in use, Tho line had jammed between his teeth, the fan working all the time ho followed the ship. He had swum just 122 7-10 miles." Xavy and Army Illustrated. . The Dlrtr Doien." - : The town of Groton,,Vt., is terror ized by hoodlums. A eecret organiza tion has been formed, known as "The Dirty Dozen," whose sore purpose is to perpetrate unlawful and shameful deeds.

Nearly everybody ia aware that at one .time it was the custom in many churches to regulate the length of the sermon by an hourglass which stood cn the pulpit immediately fronting the preacher. Quite a number of these curi ous relics are preserved in various eccle siastical edifices throughout the land, but the British and Foreign Sailors church, situated in what was formerly RatciiSf highway, is the only one pos sessing four.

The cleverness of negro boys in At lanta has ! been perverted to teaching dogs to steal chickens. When this ex planation of the disappearance of poul try was made by the losers, the police were skeptical, but all doubts vanished when cn the arrest of four suspected boys a dog with a chicken in his teeth followed the patrol wagon to the-police 'station. The boys confessed and explain ed their method of operation. They would get a chicken in the old way, by theft from the roost, arid then teach a "likely" dog to catch aid fetch it Aft er a little practice of tliis kind the dog would be taken through premises where chickens were at large and would be in cited to attack.
