\ Strange story.

In lS45 3 chestnut tree, quite 300
years old, was blown dow on the banks
Of little creek near the church called
South Carolina," within mile Of the
village of Yorhville, il I,ckens county,
Ala, and about seventeen miles south
east of Columbus, Miss. Beneath the
roots Of the chestnut tree were found q
palr ol brass scales for Weighing, with
the brass weights having Spanish in
scriptIons and numerals on them. Two
tAree-pound cannonslot were found
with tie scales. The soil beneath the
tree vas very dry, drained as it was by
the little stream hard by, ana these
relies of the Spanish adycnturer were
well preserved. But it does not follow
because these portable articles were
found at that spot that De Soto visited
1T. He had little use for scales, aud
may have left them at some distant
place Of encampment on lost them in

or twelve miles below Columbus, on

little doubt that De Soto made the

How Far Bells May be Heard.

In lilly locality a bell will not be
heard half rs far as ii the land were
level, o. nearly So. i bell will be heard
agreat deal further lengthways Of a val
ley than over tire hills at the sides. 1t
ls frequently the case that bedrooms
are lower than the surrounding build
ings and trees. aai these distractions
break the sound and prevent its free
passage to distance. It is frequently
the case, too, that towers have small
windows or openings, with tile louvre
boards SO close together as to almost
l1y up the sound. In cities tho noise
OF steam and Aorse-cars, manufacturing
establishments, carriages and carts rat
thing over the pavement, etc, IS SO
greet that bells are not expected to be
heard at any considerable distance, and
this is the reason Why, in I'll cities, sew
eral bells ore used for Iire-alarm pur-
poses, it being impossible for one bell,
no matter how large Il may be, to be
heard above the thousand-and-0ne
noises incident to every large place.
The largest bell ever made in this coun-
try weighed - 500 pounds, and, before
ii was fractured. hung IN the City Eall
in New York On one or two occasions
this bell was heard up the Hudson river
thirteen miles, IN the night, when the
city was comparatively quiet. Water
is a good conductor Of sound, and add
ed materially in making the bell heard
as above mentioned. It IS Il great mis-
take to suppose that bells can be heard
in proportion to their welght-that IS,
that bell Of 1000 pounds will be heard
twice as far as one OF 1000 pounds.
This is not so, for the reason that the
larger bell does not possess anything
like twice the resonant surface OF the
smaller one What is gained and adj
mired in the larger bell is its deep, ma
iestic, dignitied tone, which it IS lmpos-
sible to secure III the smaller one, the
weight OF bell invariably governing
its tone. When hung stationary

4 Bear Fight in Maine.

A young man named Oliver, OF Ocono.
Me-, had notable experience with IA
huge black bear. Oliver, who had never
before seen q bear, was passing through
the woods, when he came to large
tree, in the trunk OF which there was
large hole. Thinking it might be the
den of some animal, he thrust his tx
into the hole, and was surprised when
It struck some soft substance. He i'm
mediately cut a long pole and repeated
the experiment, when, without any dali
living, huge black head appeared at
the outer edge of the hole. 1t proved
to be that Of bear OF enormous size.
As bruin poked out his head and the
fore part of his body, young Oliver
struck him clip with his AK, taking off
three Of his toe nails. This surgical
operation SO enraged the bear that he
made an angry plunge st Oliver, and
nearly succeeded IN getting him with
his Ak into the den. The young man
had by this time concluded that 1t was
either himself or the bear. SO he dof1ed
his coat and mittens, and, bracing him
self, struck the old fellow terrible
blow on the head. This seemed only
to enrage him the more, and, as his eyes
flashed fire, bis ears stood erect, and his
breast protruded. end lie made another
dash at his intended victim. But young
Oliver was prepared for him, and dealt
him such blow as split open his head
from the base Of the brain to point
even with his nose. This finished the
bear, who snorted few times, and
rolled dead at the feet of Oliver. He
was black bear, apparently what is
nine feet from the tip Of his nose to the
hind paws, and weighed over 45O
pounds. After he had killed the mon
ster, young Oliver became frightened,
and, standing there gazing upon his
carcass, he said he could feel his own
hair rise upon end.
