Although Lists is one of the gen
test memories the world has ever
known, he could be severe at times
On one occasion a young man from
Kassan. in Hungary, a town famous
for its hams, applied to List with a
view of taking lessons from him. As
was usual with him at such times, he
invited the young man TO take a seat
at the piano and play something.
When he had finished the piece he
waited for several moments TO allow
the able an opportunity Of pronounc-
ing judgment on his playing. At last
the master, noticing that the young
man was waiting for him to speak,
asked him where he vas born and
where he lived. In Kassan," replied
the youth, with pardonable pride.

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 notlong
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 Us long hair, thus holding il
fast ON either flank, and the spearmen

The scientific fac 80 which the max
ing Of artificial ice depends i, that when
a liquid evaporates IL USES up "a great
deal of heat, which il draws from any
thing that happens to be around IL. If
a IAN of water is al hand lis telnpera
ture is reduced, and il the action goes
far enough the water will be frozen.
This cooling action can be felt by pour
ing a 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 perceptbly. II
a bottle containing water is kept wet
on the outside with ether, the eyapora-
ton will chill the water and eventually
freeze il.
This is essentially the process by
which the carafes frappees Of French
restaurants are produced. The ocean
ters filed with fresh water are set ii
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 sulphurous oxide is
used instead of ether, because these
substances are cheaper and are not in.

A POPLAR MlscohcePTIoN.

waiter Besant Says There Was No Leisure
in the Eighteenth Century.
1t is conventional to represent the
Eighteenth century as a time Of leisure
and quiet happiness; when a poet
writes about this time he tries TO
breathe into his verse an atmosphere
of peace. he does his best TO throw
into the poem "A calm Of the soul Then
people applaud the poet for catching so
wonderfully the very spirit Of the time.

anywhere in England during the last
century anything at all 70 justify this
belief in the universal leisure. The

The Great Flood.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 26.-Reports
continue to come in from the surrounding
country and give further details of the de-
vastation caused by the recent floods. AS
these reports doubtless are. exaggerated, it
is impossible to give an estimate OF the
losses but the amount will be considerable.
1t Is now thought only four lives have been
lost of the Wells family at Duarte and
Severano Lourene, near Wilmington.
Lourene's and Wells bodies have been re-
covered but the other two are missing.
Near San Gabriel the river formerly
passed down east of the town. Now it is
flowing west of the town and is stream
LOO feet wider The county bridge at
San Gabriel has been carried away and a
house swept down near Downey's from
Ten Mile house to the ocean. There is a
vast body of water covering an area of ten
miles wide and fifteen leng. Charles Watts
family, supposed to have been drowned
near Downey's, turned up all right.
The Santa Fe road to San Diego is in bad
condition and may not be opened for a
week. The Yuma board of trade has ap-
pealed to this city for aid. At the latest it
will be several days before communication
is resumed with the east either by the
Santa Fe or Southern Pacific.
