A BEARS FRANKS.
IIc Causes the Death Of Two Sailors
and Disablcs a Ship.

Captain Drew, of tue ship Sea Witch,
Just returned fran an extended cruise
in the China Seas, tells of an exciting
adventure which occurred on the bark
Golden Star, from San Francisco, which
ran into the Cape of Good Hope in
disabled condition, owing to the mad
pranks of wild bear.
"This bear" sail Captain Drew,
"was great big black fellow, weighing
fully 460 pounds. He was confined in
n strong wooden box which was placed
ON the deck aft of the captains s cabin.
Zone night, just as they were chang
ing watch on the Golden Star, twelve
bells having struck, the bear pried off
one of tho wooden bars Of the cage and
got out. Mr.. Bruin shifted tie strong
salt breeze for n moment and then be-
gan wandering about the deck. Sud
denly he cspied the man Mt the wheel
and, without further ceremony, he
crawled up to him and, rising on his
hauucheS, struck the Ja"k-tar II savage
blow with his huge paw.
"Then he seized tho sailor by the left
leg, mangling it frightfully and causing
tho poor fellow to let go his hold on the
wheel. The ship Immediately broached
to and fell off her course, the sails flap
ped wildly i'll the wind and the bin
nacle light was extinguished i'll the
struggle.

A WALL OF WATER.
Two Explorers LoseTheir Lives in
Wave Forty Feet High.

In March last two German officials
landed on the southwest coast of the
big island of New Britain to explore the
island. They had gone there from
Fiuchhaven, in neighboring New
Guinea, with q considerable force of
natives. No tidings whatever have been
heard of them since. Search parties sent
out from Finchhaven have songht them
in vain, and there is no longer any doubt
that they fell victims to remarkable
phenomenon that occurred two or three
days after they reached the island.
On the morning of March 13 sound
was heard at FInchhaven as of distant
thunder. A few minutes later the sea
receded from the shore in an unheard of
manner. and revealed to view, six feet
above its surface, q reef at the harbor
entrance that had never been seen above
water before. Then the ga came back,
enormous waves dashing far up on the
land and deluging part OF the little
settlement. A while after fine ashes
began to sift over the coast, and the
German colonists knew there had been
a volcanic outburst northeast of them.
Two days after the little vessel Ottille,
sent from FinchaYen, reached the south
coast of New Britain, eighty miles away.
The Captain could not at first recognise
the coast, though he had seen it often.
The aspect of Vulcan Island, off the
west end of the big island, had entirely
altered. The top of it had disappeared,
and it is supposed that q volcanic erup
tion blew it into the sea, and that this
was one of the causes of the mighty
wave that spread ruin along the south
of New Britain.
This wave, Judging from its effects, is
believed to have been about forty feet
high. All the villages that lined the
beach had entirely disappeared. For
ten or twelve miles along the coast
belt of timber about three-qnarters of
mile wide had been swept away. Where
the force of the wave began to abate,
the bodies of q few natives were found
lodged in the branches of trees twenty
to thirty feet from the ground. Here
and there on the land were heaped
great fragments of coral rock and trees,
and thousands of dead fish strewed the
ground. Many of the natives were
killed, and others had their limbs
broken by being swept off their feet and
dashed against trees.
1t is a noteworthy fact that the natives
who saw the wave approaching thought
it was caused by the evil spirit in the
volcanoe of Akaie, and attacked it with
showers of stones and clubs just before
it engulfed them. The German ex-
plorers, it is supposed, had not yet
started inland, and they were overwhelm
ed by the common destruction. The
great wave which overwhelmed many
thousands of people after the eruption
ut Krakataua is said to have travelled
several times around the world. 1t is
probable that this enormous wave at
New Britain extended its effects in
slight measure to every oean.

Nativity of Fruits and Vegetables.

The early writes on agriculture and
takes in regard to native countries from
which we derive our cultivated varieties
of fruits and vegetables But as the IA
cilities for travel increased, early errors
were in many cases corrected. We do
not know to what country or countries
such grains as wheat, rye and oats are
indigenous. 1t is supposed that Indian
corn is native OF America, because 1t
was first found here, where it had long
been cultivated by the Indian races; still
it has never been found growing wild in
this or any other country. 1t no doubt
existed i'll prehistoric times us giant
grass. producing mu'h smaller grain
and ears than are now seen among cul-
tivntod varieti s.-Nclo Ior& Sun.

THE craze for putting ladies' watches
in odd places is developing to such an
extent that one may expect to see tho
fair ones with watches on the toes of
their shoes or on the backs of their
gloves or wherever they can easily see
the timepieces at n glance. In Broad
way car lately three ladies met and took
seats beside one another. One had
watch in the handle of her umbrella,
one had a watch in the catch or clasp Of
her pocketbook, and the third carried q
tiny watch in bracelet ON her left arm.
The last cxamp of the craze, that of
the bracelet, is a Viennese idea just i'm
ported. The bracelet was of leather,
and was unquestiouably the ugliest or
nament any lady wore on Broadway.

CAESAR wanted to have people around
him who were fat. In that respect the
late Roman General differs from Can
adian judge. The judge fined a museum
fat woman 81 for refusing to pay her
cabman, who, apparently, wanted to
charge her in proportion to her weight.
The fair, fat and n-times-forty- pound
woman refused to pay the fine, and the
officials were ordered to take her to jail.
They found to their dismay, TINT not
cell door was large enough to let the fat
woman Tass through. A chrome will be
given to the person who will tell the
Judge what to do with her.

THE introduction of leprosy into the
United States, the GJoJc- Democrat de-
c'ares, must be stopped and the terrible
disease stamped out at once or it will be
the most unmanageable of all epidemics
that ever visited our land. There is no
longer any question of its being commu-
nicable. The lepers have invaded Brit
ish Columbia and had such free access
to the Indians that the whole race Of red
men is infected. The antagonism to
Chinese immigration will be more wide
spread than ever, and Will be based on

Railway Cars Built of White Pine.

Passenger coaches are built to a largo
extent of white pine Its advantages
over other woods for that purpose is sig
nificant, because it is free from knots
and pitch, and paint when once applied
to it will remain without blistering
This interesting information was gained
from n master car builder of one of our
large Eastern roads, who also said that
the pitch in knotty wood will always
work through the best paint that can be
applied, if exposed to heat or to the sun,
in which case the paint blisters and
knocks off leaving the car worse in ap-
pearance than if it had never been
painted at all.-Nelo York Sun.

SECRET experiments with the new ex-
plosive proceed successfully near Thorn,
France. Experts are convinced that
the explosive can destroy forts like the
French torls d'a7Tet on the frontier with
in few hours. The powers of the ex-
plosive will revolvtionize the whole
fortress system, rendering useless great
closed fort works and necessitating NOV
able defensive works enclosed in ironclad
bulwarks. Recent fortress work changes
in France and Russia indicate that both
these nations have obtained knowledge
of the explosive.
