Hunting Bears.

General E. F. Burton describes a
novel method of catching bears prac
ticed by the native hunters of India.
Four or five sturdy men are armed, two
with long spears, cross barred on the
handles close to the sharp, two edged
blades, and two or three with ten foot
bamboos, of which the ends are smear
ed with bird lime.
Thus equipped, and leading several
powerful dogs, the hunters sally out an
hour or so before dawn, and pass along
the base of the hills with the fresh
morning wind blowing up from the
plains below.
If the hunters have luck it is not long
before the fierce dogs wind the bear;
and though dogs of this species hunt
as silent as death, their straining on the
leash informs their masters that the
shaggy game is nigh.
The dogs are slipped and disappear
in the darkness, and soon the roaring
and growing show that they have
found the game. The hunters run up
to the spot where the bear is fighting
with the dogs.
The men with lined poles poke the
bear in the ribs and adroitly twist the
ends in it's long hair, thus holding it
fast on either flank, and the spearmen
complete the tragedy by repeated spear
thrusts. 1t is said that party of ex-
perienced men with good dogs never
fail to secure the bear in this way

The Secretary of State Is III at New
York-No Fears Yet Felt.
NEW YORK, May 12.-The Herald
says that Secretary Blaine, who came to
New York on Tuesday last to see his
daughter Harriet start for Europe on
the Teutonic and also attend the open
ing of the Carnegie music hall, is still in
this city, stopping at the residence Of
his son-in-law, Walter Damrosch, No.
20 West Seventieth street. His inten-
ton when he came to New York was to
remain only few days. 1t is stated
that his protracted stay is due to Sc
we're attack of indigestion with which
he was seized on Friday last. His SON.
in-law stated that Mr.. Blaine was
Not Seriously III.
He could not say how long he would
stay, but supposed he would remain
until he had fully recovered. Doctors
Janewy and Dennis, it is learned, are in
attendance upon Mr.. Blaine. They were
with him for some time Sunday. They
believe that the recent overwork on the
part of the secretary is mainly attribu-
table for his present indisposition. The
secretary, the doctors say, needs rest.

Artihcial Ice.


The scientific fact ON which the max
ing of artificial ice depends is that when
a liquid evaporates it uses up great
deal of heat, which it draws from any
thing that happens to be around it. II
a can of water is at hand its tempera
ture is reduced, and if the action goes
far enough the water will be frozen.
This cooling action can be felt by pour
ing little ether or alcohol upon the
hand. The liquid evaporates rapidly,
and the loss of the heat which it takes
up cools the hand very perceptibly. If
bottle containing water is kept wet
on the outside with ether, the eyapora-
ton will chill the water and eventually
freeze it.
This is essentially the process by
which the carafes frappees of French
restaurants are produced. The decan-
ters filed with fresh water are set in
shallow tanks containing brine, which
remains liquid balow the temperature
at which fresh water freezes. In con-
tact with these tanks are receivers,
which can be kept charged with newly
formed ether vapor. The chilling va
por cools the brine, and this in turn
takes heat from the water in the de-
canters, which soon freezes.
In making ice on the large scale
either ammonia or sulphmous oxide is
used instead of ether, because these
substances are cheaper and are not in.

improvement in Surgical Dressin,

improvement IN SurSlcal dressing.
A new material, which has been
named "Christia," has been introduced
for surgical dressings. 1t is mem
brane-like tissue, made by process of
felting the pure fiber of the MANILA
hemp. 1t is very light and strong, inn
permeable to water, spirits If all kinds,
oils and acids. 1t is made neutral, SO
that it can be rendered antiseptic with
any desired medicament. It will stand
tropical heat and arctic cold with
out being injuriously affected by the
changes.
1t is particularly adapted for India
and other hot climates, where gutta-
percha tissue and oiled silk become in
short time aInalgamated to such an ex-
tent as not only to be useless to the
surgeon but injurious to anything with
which they come in contact. In view
of the fact that both oiled silk and
guttapercha tissue have been discarded
by the governmental the United States,
England, France, Denmark and Nor
way in consequence of their impracti-
cability, there is large field for the
new material, another advantage of
which is that it is only about half the
price of oiled silk. New York Com
