'BULLS' EAT BEAR.
New Luncheon Dishes
from Rusala
Bear meat has proved a distinct success
as a luncheon dish in London.
From one o'clock onwards the little German restaurant in Cheapside of which Mr A. F. P. Haroske is proprietor was crowded to its limit, and many curious stookbrokers, both bulle' and bears," were devouring the flesh of the Russian animal with considerable relish and no visible trepidation at áll,
The two dishes on the menu were: Bear ragout with potatoes' and 'Bear ham with Burgundy sauce...
Mr Haroske, who has had a wire from a Glasgow hotel asking if he could let them have a part of the bear, saw no reason why bear should not catch on.' You know," he said to the Daily Mirror, you English want a change. Every day it's beef and' ohops and steaks. Nothing fresh.

It has remained for George W. Puss, B
San Franciscan, to swim across the historic Nile at a point where for centuries the, man could Egyptians have said that no cross the river and live. Poss for some months past has been chief engineer of the Egyptian Cotton Mills at Cairo. He had heard that the crossing of the Nile below the bridges was impossible for a swimmer, and he decided to try the experiment. So he. went into the river and swam from Old) Cairo to Basus, cloven and a quartor miles, accomplishing the feat in two hours. The was accompanied in a boat by Joseph do Santis, an employè of the cotton mills.
at Old Caire they had some dificulty in getting a boat, the Arabs refusing when they heard of Poss's intention of swimming down the river; but, crossing the river by the ferry, they managed to obtain a small craft, Reaching the centre of the river, Poss divested himself of his clothing and, greatly to the astonishment of the Arabs, plunged into the water. A strong wind was blowing at the time up the river, and the boat was unable to keep pace with the swimmer. But the occupants managed to koop Poss in view when he passed under

Notwithstanding this-the weather, the warnings and the ship being in & belpless condition-at three o'clock that afternoon the "Rubi" sent for the tug "Robert Cooke" and had herself towed, not, as you might expect, to a safeanchorage, but to her buoy just off the Olub. After that the barometer wont on falling and at 5.50 in the afternoon the black drum was hoisted. Although the "Rubi" then had more than an hour of daylight left and had plenty of time to signal the "Robert Cooke" to be taken to a safe anchorage she still had no steam-aho did not do so. At 10 o'clock that night the typhoon gun was fired, and during the whole of the night the barometer continued falling and the wind now began to rise. Hitherto we have only had warnings, but the wind had

Lionel Terry was undefended at his trial having steadfastly refused legal assistance. When asked to plead he said that he had nothing to say except that his action was right and justifiable. The Chief Justice interpreted this as a plea of 'Not guilty.
When the evidence was finished Terry read a long and carefully prepared state- ment, in which he strongly objected to his Majesty the King being placed in the position of protector of an unnaturalised race of aliens in British passessions. He strenuously protested against the sugged. tion that he was the victim of an insatie 2181 delusion, or that his intellect was impaired by sunstroke. His action, he declared, was the result of careful deliberation, and was committed as a protest against the Asiatic invasion and the mixing of races, and also to test the stability of the law re- lating to the protection of aliens.
He bore no enmity to Chinamon. On the contrary, he sincerely pitied these poor people, whose presence in New Zealand was partly the result of a vicious slave sys- tem existing in China. It was for the equal
