AMONG POLAR BEARS.
The Exciting Adventure Of Three Sailors On
the Ice in the Arctic Regions.


Three of the crew of the steamship In.
tired, Captain Santar, had very exciting
adventure at the Greenland seal fishery this
season. During the time their vessel was
fast beset among the ice, three of the
crew-Thomas Royal, Wolverhampton;
James Winter, Peterhead, and William
Mulligan, Dundee-set out one day to pay
a visit to the ship Perseverance, of Peter
had, which lay apparently about four
miles distant. After walking about two
miles, it was seen that the distance between
the two ships had been mis- Judged, and in
reality they we're six miles apart, and the
dangerous nature of the journey began to
dawn upon the seamen when they realized
how far they were from any vessel, their
sealing clubs being the only weapons with
| which they were armed. They deliberated
whether itwould be the best course to re-
turn TO their SHIP one eof the trio insist
ed on making the journey, while the 9TH
ers were of the opinion that they should
give up the attempt.
In the midst of the debate, she bear,
with one of her cubs arrived, and as she
was fast coming up between the men and
their ship, the only chance of escape was
to run on in the hope of reaching the Perse.
verance. When the men took to their
heels the bear quickened her pace, and in
a sholt time was close upon the sailors.
To attempt to face the animal with their
clubs was useless, and accordingly one of
the men took off portions of his clothing,
and threw them on the ice. In this way
the progress of the bear was retarded, as
bruin stopped TO snuff and tear each article
as she came up to them. By this stratagem
the were able to keep ahead for about two
miles. The had parted with most of their
clothing, one of them having nothing but
his pants, a cravat, and wo1len shirt up
on him. He kept possession Of his club,
and fastening his clavat on the end of the |
weapon, he waved it as signal of distress,
and fortunately the attention of the crew
of the Perseverance was attracted to the
perilous position of the seamen. Several
Of the crew Of the Perseverance immediate
y set out, armed with grns, and after
running about mile, they came up to the
men just in time to save them, who almost
lad no clothing left, and were exhau sted
by the chase. The bear and her cubs were
10 close behind that the rescuers had no
lificulty in dispatching them with several
bullets. The following morning the three
ailors returned to the Intrepid. They
we're escorted part of the way by num-
,er of the crew of the Perseverance, and
he male bear having been in the vicinity,
pparently on the lockout for the she bear
nd her cub, he was likewise killed.

Z THE Roam TO HEATH. While children
are growing they need sleep. Little folks
who sit mp late at nights are usually ner-
vous, weak, small and sickly. The reason
you want more sleep than your parents is
because Tou have to grow and they haven't.
They can use up the food they eat in walk
ing and thinking, while you should have
some Of yours in growing. You ought to
sleep great deal; If you do not you win in
activity consume all you eat. and have none,
or not enough, to grow with. Very few
clever children excel or even equal other
people when they grow up. Why is this !?
Because their heads, If not their bodies
are kept too busy, so that they cannot
sleep, rest and grow strong In body and
brain.

A Powaer-Iill.

A powder-mill il not in the least like
other mills. Instead of one great building.
it is composed of many rough-iooking little
sheds-sometimes as many as 70 or 80.
These are long distances apart, separated
by dense woods and great mounds of earth,
30 that If one house " is blown up, the
others will escape like fate. OF some the
wall are built very strong, and the roofs
very slight, in the hope that If an explosion
happens, It's force will be expended upward
only. Other houses have enormous roofs
of masonry covered with earth; the roof of
others are tanks kept always full of water.
The constant danger inseparable from the
work would be greatly increased were there
not strict rules, always enforced. No eau
tious visitor can be more careful than the
workmen themselves, for they know, If an
explosion occurs it viii be. certain, instant
death to them. So no lights or fires are
ever allowed; no one lives nearer the mills
than can be helped; some of the buildings
are carpsted with skins, and the floors are
kept always flooded with an inch or two of
water; and in front of every door is shall
low tank Of water. Before entering, every
person must put on rubber sioes and walk
through this water, for the nails in boot
heel might strike spark from a bit Of sand
or gravel, which might explode q single
grain of powder, and cause widespread
disaster. So the rubber shoes worn in the
mills are never worn elsewhere. Then, too
every one is expected TO keep his wits
about him; theirs Is never any loud talking
and laughter. and no one ever thinks of
shouting. Yet, with all this extreme care,
explosions sometimes occur, and then there
ii seldom any one left to tell hewitt hap
pened. .--H, NitholGs for july.

Niagara Falls are losing some of their
famous features. The great cataract is
gradually wearing itself out 1t is backing up
by slow process toward Lake Erie, whose
tumbledown outlet it is, The Syracuse
Standard relates as follows:
On the oath ultimo the last of what was so
long known as Table Rock, at Niagara, broke
off and fell into the river. The mass weighed
nearly sixty tons, and up to 1876 over four
thousand names of visitors had been carved
upon it. The part which fell on the oath
composed only half of the original rock, the
rest having fallen in, On Saturday, Jan. l,
1929, a surface of the rock supposed to be
the size of half an acre, forming the bed of
Maiden Walk, broke loose, and was precip
itated into the immense chasm below. The
crash was heard for distance of five miles,
and the effect in the Immediate neighborhood
resembled the shock of an earthquake The
water running under the bank is supposed to
have caused the fall on the Oath The shock
when the rock struck the water was distinctly
felt for three miles from the fall Several of
the trees that stood on the rock are now
seen standing in the river as erect as when in
their original places on the rock.

MORE PLACERs. the discovery of more
surface diggings in the vicinity of JEFF Davis
Peak, the Ward Reflex of Thursday says:
John Edwards and Chas. Cameron returned
from the east side of jeff Davis Peak last
Monday and reported the discovery of placer,
mines and gold bearing veins, also, Unlike
the west side of the Peak there is plenty of
water for all purposes. They have sunk upon
placer which they have located to the depth
of about six feet without reaching bedrock
and found color all the way. They took out
about So cents all told. The claim is located
on Trout Greek, twenty rods on either side
and forty rods up and down the creek. From
the fact that trout have been caught ont of
this stream it can readily be seen that the
supply of water is good. A quartz vein was
located, which shows free gold. The extent
of placer ground in the neighborhood is not
known.
