Professor Forel, praeticing with the

reached the conclusion that light can
not penetrate in water to any greater
depth than lao feet. More recently.
however seine sensitive plates have
been exposed at q depth of 500 feet
under water. and the traces Of light
were distinctly left on the plates. Light
must, therefore, penetrate clear water
at least 800 feet. while rays SO feeble
as to escape detection by any known
means, and yet so powerful as to exert
an influence upon some forms of suba-
qusous life, may reach still greater
depths.

and kiuIly TrSaIed---Ressned
Alive n Almost lnbArmOA.

Henry Flynn. who resides up in the
hills near Inskip. morning last
week took a horse to pasture, about
two miles distant from the house. and
as his little girl seemed anxious to go
he put her on the horse's back and let
her ride a short distance, perhnr. forty
rods from the house, where he put her
down and told her to run home. He
noticed that she continued standing
where he had left hor. aud on looking
back after going a little farther, saw
her playing IN the sand. Ho soon
passed cut of sight and was gone about
au hour, expecting. Of course, that the
child would return to tho house after
playing q few moments. On returning
home, be made inquiry about her of
her mother, who said she had not seen
her aud supposed that he had taken
her With him. On going to tho spo,
where he had left her, he saw huge
bear tracks in the sand. and at once
came to the conclusion that she had
been carried of by tho bear. The fam
lily Immediately made search through
the forest. which was grown up to al.
most a jungle. rendering their search
very slow. AL day these anxious par
ents searched foT traces Of their
child; nor did they stop when darkness
came on, but remained in the woods
calling the lost one by name. Morning
came, and their search was fruitIess.
A couple OF gentlemen from below, who
nrs travelling through tho mountains
buying stock, came to the house, and
being informed OF tho circumstances.
immediately SGT out to find her. The
gentlemen wandered about, and as they
were passing u swamp spot where tho
underground was thick, called the
child. or else they were talking loud.
when n OF them heard her voice. He
then called her by namo and tod her
to come out Of the bushes. She re-
piled that the bear would not let her.
The men then crspt through the brush.
and when ear tho spot where she and
the bear were, they heard a splash
in the water, which the child says was
the bear. On going to her, they found
Eer standing on II log extending about
half way across q swamp. The bear
had undertaken to c.oss the swamp on
the log, and being pursued. left the
child and got away az rapidly As posi-,

News reached here Sunday morning
that Marshal John Bryant, Of Columbus,
| KY, had been shot by the desperate Xii
gore in an attempt to capture the latter for
the murder Of Mr.. Joseph Gardner at Bel.
mont Mo-, some days ago. Mr.. Hender-
son, agent for Mr.. H. A. Harmon, who was
at Columbus Sunday tells the following
story concerning the ARRAY; After the
shooting Of Gardner by Kilgore, reward
of two hundred dollars was offered for the
lattcrs capture, Last Saturday Marshal
Bryant and Constable Spauding, of Coum-
bus, together with number of brave cti-
zcns, having heard that Klgore was lurking
in the vicinity of Belmont, determined to
make an attempt to capture HIM. They
went to Belmont and hunted through the
town and immediate vicinity without
finding any traces of their man; but were
told that, as n brother of his lived at little
settlement on the Iron Mountain road,
called AXtell, it was probable that he had
taken refuge there, The party made its
way to Axtoll, which is about six miles
from Belmont, and found number OF
houses. They searched through them all
but found them all empty, but one-the
last one This was said also TO be empty,
ny negro standing near; but the party
was determined to make thorough search.
The house was an l.. shaped house, with three
rooms, standing near small thicket II had
one front door and two back doors, all of
which were closed. Constable Spaulding
went 10 the front door and sought entrance
there while Marshal Bryant and two other
men watched the rear and sides. Marshal
Bryant and one man watched the two back
doors, but the man left Bryant and went
around the front way to see what Spaulding
was doing, and while Bryant was alone,
Kigore, who had dropped through a hole
in the floor, came out from under the house
behind Bryant and Immediately cooked
his pistol and fired, just as Bryant, having
heard the click of the weapon, turned. The
ball entered Bryant'S right side near and
lust below the shoulder and lodged in the
back Just below the left shoulder blade,
causing a very serious though not fatal
wound. Bryant sent wild shot after Xii.
gore, as the latter, in his shirt sleeves, bare
headed and in stocking feet fled toward the
little thicket near by. The shots of course
called all the party to the back of the
house, but too late to give pursuit
with any probability of success. Marshal
Bryant was conveyed TO Columbus, and his
father DR.. j. II. Bryant, of this city, was
notified who went down early Sunday
morning to give surgical and medical at.
tention. Marshal Bryant is about twenty
five years old and young man OF more than
ordinary courage.
