In South India the campaign against man-eating tigers runs through reports of killings and ongoing efforts. Capt. Caulffeld, Madras official tiger slayer, earns praise for method and restraint, while medical and scientific circles query exact poison dosages and animal reactions. A Madras observer, Mr. Croom, devised armor to deter tigers, though its effectiveness remains unproven. Another official, Capt. Canfield, traveled to Coimbatore to confront a nearby man-eating tiger with local missionaries and rifles.
A collected tale describes hunters near a village who encounter a tigress attacking a herder.

The museum area shows progress, with much of the ellipsis area lowered to original ground level and more antiquities anticipated for study.
Dr Harrin of New York reveals a county on the upper Hudson with high crime and poverty. A girl named Margaret left adrift seventy years ago is seen as ancestress to two hundred criminals in one generation, with twenty of three born alive dying in infancy.
