THE MADRID EXPOSITION. 
Senor Don Ramon Pina, the minister of 
transmits to the bureau 
the Department of 
copies of the programme of the Ex- 
Arts and Industries, to be held at 
Madrid during September, October and Novem- 
ber of this year, from which the following in- 
formation is learned: 
The International Artsmc rafts: 
Manufactures, and Industry to be held at Madrid 
has for its object to demonstrate to the in- 
habitants of the country, as well as to the large 
number of foreign visitors who come to Madrid

BOS EMEIRE: 
THE lion, like the other great cats, is a relic 
of a diminishing race and dominion, declares 
Ernest Ingersoll in his entertaining Life of Mam- 
mals (The Macmillan Company.) In the early 
Stone Age the “cave” lion roamed throughout 
the southern half of Europe; and it is believed 
that along the Mediterranean, ‘at least, its exe 
tinction was due to prehistoric man. The battle 
THE LION’S 
has gone on ever since. Long ago lions were 
exterminated from Afghanistan, Beluchistan and 
northern Persia. A century ago they were more 
or, less prevalent in northwestern India, but now 
none remain save a few in the Gheer, a wooded 
hilly tract of Kattiawar, where they are “to some 
extent preserved by the Nawabs of Joonaghoor,” 
Farsistan, where the marshes about Niris Lake 
afford shelter, and the hosts of pigs feeding on 
the acorns of the oak forests furnish subsistence. 
Similar conditions enable a few lions to main- 
tain themselves along the lower Euphrates and: 
Tigris; but they were long ago exterminated 
from all Asia Minor, Syria, Arabia, Egypt and 
Algeria. From Abyssinia, and the southern 
Sahara southward to the Orange River lions 
still exist except in the most populous districts, 
and in some places are very numerous. 
There seems never to have been more than 
one species, nor, in spite of the former belief in 
the “maneless lions of Guzerat” “and the “black- 
maned” ones of other places, is any variety well 
localized. Lions with full manes have been shot 
in India, as well as. those with hardly any; and 
“out of fifty male lion skins scarcely two will 
be found alike in color and length of mane.” 
All the game laws of the United States and 
Canada, revised to date and now in force, are 
| given in the Game Laws in Brief. See adv.
