The Hunter Hunted.

4 man named Charles Tyrell was
hunting on the St. Clair river when two
bears appeared Somewhat excited, he
leyelled his rifle and fired, aud the next
moment both bears were coming down
upon him at full speed. The hunter
saw that they incant business, each ut
terlng fierce growls, aud he dropped his
gun, caught hold OF the limb OF small
oak tree, aud swung his legs up just in
time 20 save his boots. As he expected
one of them was not long in attempting
to secure close acquaintance. The
animal got up shout seven feet, aud
then the limbs refused to let him by.
He paved, bit aud growled at great
rate, and, in making big effort to push
away the limbs, fell to the ground
Tyrell commenced shouting which ex.
cited the bears aud one of them was
quickly up to the limbs again, when the
hunter struck match aud dropped il
down on bruins head, frightening him
so that he went down the tree at lively
rate. The hunter had about a dozen
matches with him, aud every time the
bears started to climb he would light
one aud lie: it fall, the trick never tail.
ing to stop their ascent.
After time both seemed to 60 away,
aud the hunter carefully commenced to
descend He was just about to touch
ground when both bears charged at him
out Of the darkness, and he had to 20
up again, one of his boots being raked
by claws before he was above the limbs.
The animals made no further efforts to
climb tie tree, but "tore around" for
full hour at its base. Tyrell dared not
descend for fear that they had laid a
snare for MIN, and passed the eu,ire
night astride of limb. In the morn
ing he found the bear he had fred at
dead at the foot of the tree, but the
other had disappeared, and the hunter
got safely off with the spoil.

How to See Down a Well.

II is not generally known, says the
Lancaster (Penn.) Int ingcncer, how
e,lsy matter it is to explore the bottom
of we'll, cistern, or pond of water by
the use Of common mirror. When
the sun is shining bright, hold mirror
so that the reflected rays Of light will
fall into the water. A bright spot will
be seen at the bottom; SO light as TO
show the smallest object plainly. BY
this means We have examined the bot.
tom Of wells fifty feet deep, when half
full or more Of water. The smallest
straw or other object can be be per.
iectly seen from the surface. In the
same way one can examine the bottom
Of the ponds and rivers, if the waters be
somewhat agitated by winds or rapid
motion. If a well or cistern be under
cover, or shaded by building so that
the sunlight will not fall near the open.
ing, it is only necc sary to employ two
mirrors, using one to reflect the light
to the opening, and another to reflect it
down into the water Light may be
thrown fifty or hundred yards to the
precise spot desirable, and then dowa
ward. We have used the mirror with
success, to reflect the light around the
house to shaded well, and also to carry
it from south window through two
rooms aud then into cis,ern under
the north side of the house. Half a
dozen reflections Of light may be made,
though each mirror diminishes the bril-.
liancy OF the light. Let any one not
familiar with the method, try the ex.
pertinent. 1t will perhaps reveal mass
of sediment at the bottom of the well
that has been little thought of, but
which may have been frightful source
of disease by its decay 10 the water.

How to See Under Water.

A correspondent Of the Scientific
american says The Indians Of North
America do this by cutting hole
through tho ice, and then covering or
hanging blanket in such a manner as
to darken or exclude the direct rays Of
the sun, when they are enabled to see
into the water, and discover fish ut any
reasonable depth. Let any one who is
anxious to prove this, place himself
under the blanket, aud he will be as.
tonished when he beholds with what
brilliancy everything in the fluid world
is lighted up. l once had occasion to
examine the bottom Of mill pond, for
which | constructed foat out of an
inch plank, sufficient to buoy me up ;
through the center of this float | cut a
hole, and placed blanket over it, wheu
| was enabled to clearly discover objects
on the bottom, aud several lost tools
were discovered and picked up. am
satisfied that, where water is sufficiently
clear, this latter plan could be success
fully used for searching for lost bodies
aud articles. | would now suggest that
this experiment be tried on the ssa for
| am satisfied that, with craft like the
Great Eastern, where an observatory
could be placed at the bottom, with sui.
fcient darkness, by the aid Of glasses
we.could gaze down into the depths of
the sea, the same as we can survey the
starry heavens at midnight.
