A Bear Panic in Vermont.

The village of Pownal was thrown in
to state Of excitement on Wednesday
by the appearance of hugh black bear
on the street. At first it was sought to
drive the animal away with dogs, but
for considerable time the bear was
monarch of all he surveyed. Finally,
after smelling about the village to his
hearts content, he moved ON up the rail-
road track in the direction of North
Pownal. At this juncture one Brown
appeared upon the scene, armed and
equipped to do battle. The first intima.
ton that the bear had of the appearance
of this new enemy was bullet whist
ling about his ears. The bear turned
upon Brown but the latter sought cover
When the bear reached the railroad
bridge halfway between Pownal and
North Pownal he faced about and stood
upon his launches But Brown had no
inclination to tackle the bear at close
quarters. Bracing himself alongside a
telegraph pole he took aim and pulled
the trigger. The ball took effect in a
vital portion of the bears anatomy.
Brown had killed the bear, and the news
of his victory soon spread to both villa
ges. The body of the dead bear was
carried in triumph through the streets
of the village, but in the midst of the
general rejoicing two Italians arrived
upon the scene and, after discov-
ering the cause of the commotion broke
out in the most terrible TRADE of
blasphemy ever heard in the valley of
the Hoosac. Explanations followed,
when il was learned that the bear was
their property, and that they were travel
ing about the country exhibiting him.

The Man who CircIed.

A young man of twenty-three, built
like an OK and full of ambition, came in
ON one of the popular excursions to De-
troit, and while idling around the Cen
trail Market caught sight of a policeman
about half as big as himself. He was
instantly taken with an itching to try
conclusions, but having grain of -pri-
dence in his head he inquired of STALL
keeper:
Suppose I should walk up to that
officer ant tell him could lay him on
his back-what would he do?"
"Tell you to move on"
"Then suppose circled around and
came down on him and offered to bet that
I could stand him on his headp"
.'He'd probably give you another
chance to clear out. )"
"Well. I'm aching to try him on. and
I'll begin now.'
He didn't lose a minute in walking up
to the officer and asserting his belief that
he could dust the floor with his back.
You move onr' placidly replied the
officer.
The young man took circle around
and came back with the information thai
he could pick the blue coat and make
his heels kick the air.
! IL tell you to go away from metz ex'
claimed the officer, as he walked on.
The young man sailed off again, and
at the end of ten minutes row was
heard at the further end of the market
People rushed down to see the officer
wolloping the buffer over the empty
benches and rubbing his back on the
floor, and the handouts had Just beer
snapped on when the stall-keeper cam
up and asked:
"Well. have you got through circling
around?"

young man. I" You told me how the

ask about the third! Why, 1 hadn't

Initiating the Magnet.

While modern inventors have been ac-
lively competing with each other in de-
vising new and useful applications of the
magnetic force, being stimulated thereto
by the prospect of large pecuniary re-
wards, the modest physicist of the Uni
versity of Christiana, Norway-Prof.
Bjerkness- been quietly delving into
its mysteries, and endeavoring to reveal
its hidden character. The results of his
Investigations are certainly very sugges-
tive, and his curious experiments have
elected much favorable comment, besides
giving great deal Of delight to those
fortunate enough TO witness them.
Professor Bjerkness has been able to
closely initiate many of the well-known
phenomena of magnets by simple me
chanical means. His apparatus consists
essentially Of an air-pump, q few little
metal drums provided with elastic men,
branes, some india-rubber tubing, and a
small tank of water. The drums are inn
mersed in the water and connected with
the air-pump by means Of the tubing.
Pulsations of air are sent into the drums,
causing the membranes to expand and

suit exhibits itself. Let us imagine one
of the little drums supported in the water
in such a way that it is free to swing in
a circle, like compass-needle, and
another precisely similar drum held near
to it. If synchronous (simultaneous)
pulsations of air are now sent into the
two drums, so that the outward and in
ward pulsations of the membranes of both
coincide, the two drums win Immediately
attract each other. II the pulsations are
SO adjusted that the outward push Of the
membrane of one drum comedies with
the inward pull of the other, the two
drums will repel each other. BY ingen-
ious notifications of the arrangements,
various effects are produced, intimately
resemblingthose of magnetic action. and.
indeed, strongly suggesting similarity
of cause as well as Of effect Even the
lines of magnetic force, as revealed BY
the iron filings have been counterfeited

sive of course OF the live stock. Last
summer though, he refused an offer OF

The parties who wanted to purchase
were French capitalists, and they were

There seems but little doubt that this

count of the rapid rate railway facilities
