Samson and the Jaw-bone.

In town in New Jersey there used to

AS if to prove that there was something

powerful man, and his mighty right arm
never failed to bring with it whatever
his forceps fastened upon. Gas strong

that town.
1t happened, however, that Doctor
samson did not like references to the
signifcance of his name Like many
other men whose names mean some
thing" he had heard these jokes until he
was heartily tired of them.
One day townsman came in who had
a tooth to be pulled. The patient
was foppish, rattle-headed fellow, who
tried to keep up his courage by putting
on jesting exterior.

Activity in London Streets.

The thing that most astonished me
about London, and that had been least
prepared to see there, says Julian Ralph
in Harper's Weekly, was the amazing
activity in the streets. A New Yorker
born and bred, who has seen the prin-
cipal American cities, fancies that there
can be nothing in the world like Fulton
street and Broadway. But, after one
hc"- ON foot in London, he will regard
that heart of New York's traffic much as
turbulent old sailor | heard of regarded
a twenty-five calibre revolver. "What
are you going to do with that pea
shooter2" he asked. Nobody would
be afraid of that. Stand off bit and
fire at me few times till see what it
will do. Now, if you happened to have
a knife about you and felt sassy, I'd feel
afraid of you"
London is full of Fulton streets and
Broadways, and at them and in all the
other streets the cabs and hansoms fly
about in such hot and apparently reck-
less way that l always felt while Twas
there that the only reason 1 did not read
of hundred thousand turnover" acct
dents every morning in the papers was,
that it would be doing violence to the
organic principles of the London press
to print the news. confess was more
than half afraid to cross the crowded
streets, and with fear which is en-
gendered in New York in few places and
on few occasions. was assured by the
citizens, that they are all so accustomed
to project their coat tails at right angles
to their bodies, and to invoke divine aid
between the flying hoofs of horses, when
ever they need to cross a street, that they
arc as adept at it as an American light
ning-rod man is at lodging missiles.
Yet observed that Dickens, in his Die.
tionary of London, thinks it worth while
to suggest that the only way to 90 from
curb to curb, is to make up your mind
what course you will take and then stick
to it, because then the London cabbies
will divine your intentions. To change
your mind while en- route is to confuse
the cabmen, and cause you to make your
return journey to America in the form of
freight. Then, again, found that in

with loud howl, with q bullet In his
prain. This was the opening of the
battle. l commenced firing right and
left, pressing my way in the meantime,
as best could, through any opening
between the bears that might present
itself. l hoped that Bill might be at
tracted towards me by the sound of my
gun, but this hope was never realized.
Bill heard no sound of gun at all-if
he did he paid no attention to it. But
my dog-an unusually large canine of
the Shepherd type-proved his fidelity
to me, and his courage as well, by saw
agely attacking every bear that neared
me. l finally succeeded in getting sll
the bears in front of me, at the same
time beating a steady retreat with the
enemy pressing me closely.
When my rifle had exhausted its
first sixteen loads could only find
time to slip one cartridge in at time.
Four times during this process did a
bear raise itself on its hind legs, and
grapple with me; and as many times
did my faithful dog assail the bear and
succeeded in diverting its attention till
l could reload my gun and send bull
let into the shaggy brute's body.
AT length the bears began to thin
out and lag behind, and finally gave up
the contest altogether, allowing me to
make good my escape.
Save few bruises and scratches
about my body, and the almost entire
demolition of my clothes, was unin-
jured, though my escape, indeed, was
most miraculous one, and surprise to

faithful old dog.
After the contest at once proceeded
to the river where my canoe was an
chored, meeting Bill on the way, who
was also bending his steps in that di-
rection, and who, as he expressed it,
had not seen bear that blessed day.
Il related my adventure to him, and
we decided to construct sledge, with
which to bring in our game.
When we arrived at the scene OF the
contest there was not single live bear
to be seen anywhere, but at different

my partners was working under the shaft,
and when | walked out and held up the
chunk of gold you could have knocked
his eyes off with baseball bat"
From Helena the nugget was sent to
Virginia, New, thence to San Francisco,
thence to Paris, where it was shown in
the Exposition, and where it passed into
the possession of the Rothschilds.
During the summer following Rising's
discovery one of the partners found an
other chunk in the same place, valued at
$500, and yet another worth 1854.
AS the students of the history of the gold
discovery in California will remember,
there are many miners here who brought
with them an experience gathered in the
diggings of North Carolina, Virginia and
Georgia. The gold fields of these two
States were at times of quite respectable
proportions, and yielded now and then
nugget of large size. The most valuable
of these was that found in Cabarrus
county, N. c., in 1910. 1t weighed %
pounds avoirdupois, or 81 pounds (444
ounces) troy. Gold was first found in
North Carolina in 1926, the aggregate
output up to the end of 1927 being $780,
900. Gold mining was successfully prose-
cuted in Virginia in 1928, the mint de-
posts in that State in that year being
$4,000. a The first deposits of Georgia
gold were made IA year later to the amount
of 1912, 900. 1t may somewhat surprise
the Chronicles readers to learn that the
total amount of Southern gold deposited
at the minis and assay Offices of the
United States from the opening of the
mines to the end of 1878, when most of
the veins were abandoned, reached the

A Butterfy's Keen Scent.

A gentleman in New York, the owner
of one of the finest collections of butter
flies in the country, has made an expert
ment which proves conclusively that but
tertiies are endowed not only with bright
colors, but with marvellously acute
senses. Out of his collection, comprising
every known variety, he chose two but
terfiies which were only two or three days
old, and had never had their freedom.
Ono of these he attached securely by
thread 20 the fence in the rear of his
house in the upper part of New York.
He marked the other so that he could
identify it. and placing it in a small box
carried it down town to one of the ferries,
across the river to Hoboken, and some
distance into the city of Hoboken.
Here it was turned loose. When the
experimenter reached his house, several
hours later, he found the two butterflies
side by side on his back fence. The but
terfy which was but just born and had
never before had its liberty, had travelled
several miles, crossed wide river, and
promptly found its way back to its mate
in one OF those back yards of New York
which are almost indistinguishably alike
in their ugliness.
This seemed most extraordinary feat
to one of party of gentlemen to whom
the story was told by the experimenter,
and he asked a well-known naturalist
whether it could be believed. The nat
uralist answered that the sense of smell,
which was undoubtedly in this case the
the butterfy's guide, was in many ami
mails so wonderfully acute that to him
the case did not seem remarkable, much
less unbelievable.

African Artillery.

In the garden of the Marine Academy
at Kiehl was seen, a short time ago,
among various cannon Of the last ten
years, two pair of Strengthening ar
tillery weapons, which looked as if at
the time of the Thirty Years War, if
not earlier, they had been sunk in a
bog, and now, almost eaten up with
rust and decay, had been brought to
light.
Yet it is not long since these weapons
of war played their part on the battle
field during the uprising on the East
African coast. They are the so-called
"Buschiri cannon, which were captured
by the German ships-of-war Leipzig and
Garcia at Pangani aud Saadani.
As one looks at these antediluvian
monsters in their ungainliness, the
impression is very strong that the val
liant "blue- jackets" could not have been
greatly dismayed at such weapons as
those
Not one of the four cannon is of
exactly the same form as its companion ;
not one of them has any continuance
for directing the aim or turning the
cannon, so that it becomes impossible
to imagine their bringing death or de-
struction to any one, save by chance.
Nevertheless, the cannon-carriage has
a rather costly appearance. 1t must
have taken many negro hands to form
it, clumsy as it is, from wood; and the
wheels, which no strength could move
now, are made fast with many long,
rusted nails.

oxen before this remarkable vehicle of
war, and pair Of black drivers, and
