The EEL KILLED POOR MIC"
Now Tommy Hopkins Mourns His Cat.
Who Died Glutton.

Old Tommy Hopkins, the eel catcher
of Pleasure Bay, is mourning his pet
cat and life companion Mig who has
died from the effects of an encounter
with big eel last Sunday.
The tide was running favorasly for
eels, and Hopkins and his partner, Bill
Archer, planted a wire pot in the surf
near their house. After putting piece
OF liver in it to attract the game they
went to bed, intending to visit the snare
the next morning. when the receding
tide would leave il high and dry upon
the sand.
mig" who had reached the age of
Is, was noted for being as fond of fish
and cells as cat brought up on the sea-
shore could be. He had often gone out
in the boat with his master, and was
considered part of the family.
The cat happened along the beach
Sunday morning before Hopkins was
up and saw the cells squirming in the
pot. He forthwith slid through the
pronged trap-door and began to break
fast of the Shiny denizens. All went
we'll until he tried to bite morscl out
of the back of IA big conger. Then the
poor cat wished he hadn't come into
the pot since being in he could not get
out.
The old eel, with the quckness of a
flash threw his tail over "Nig's" back
and instantly wrapped himself around
his body. They rolled and tumbled.
Mig" scratched and the old eel squeezed
Then the cat tried to bite its antagonist
through the head, but couldn't because
the eel kept his head close to "Nig's"
neck.
1t would have been battle to the
death then and there had not Hopkins
heard the cats cries and hurried down
to the beach in his stocking feet. As it
was Mig" was almost lifeless when ex-
tricated from the pot and died the next
day.
Hopkins killed the eel and threw it
into the surf He alleges that it was as
thick as his arm at the shoulder. The
cats claws had lacerated its skin in a
frightful manner,

SECRETARY HERBERT's ORDERS REVOKED
While IL is technically true that the
president revoked the orders OF Admiral
Walker without consulting Secretary
Herbert, IL is claimed at the navy de-
partment that he did not intend it as a
slight upon the latter, for at the time II
was done Mr.. Herbert was out OF the
city, aud the order to cancel the admir-
ais appointment as superintendent OF
the naval academy was sent direct to
Admiral Ramsey, chief Of the bureau OF
navigation. When Mr.. Herbert returned
to the city and learned OF this fact he
made a protest, but ii was unavailing.

Solid Emery Wheels.
Nicholas

In the production Of solid emery
wheels the best cement that can be en-
ployed is one that binds the emery to-
gether with that degree of strength
which Will resist the centrifugal strain
due to the high speed at which emery
wheels cut best-about ), 600 feet speed
per minute. 1t must not soften by friC-
tiOnal heat nor glaze nor burst nor be
come brittle and break with cold, nor
must it hold the cutting grains until
they are too dull to cut nor release
them SO readily as to waste away the
wheel too fast. 1t must be capable of
being thoroughly mixed evenly with the
grain emery, SO that the wheel may not
have either hard or soft spots and be
out of balance, and must also be capable
Of being tempered to suit different
kinds of metal or work. Great care and
skill are required in the matter of Sc
lecting only pure and strong chemicals
for these cements.-Cassier's Magazine.

The Bear and the Umbrella.

How much danger is there to the
pound in a wild black bear when YOU
meet him in his hauntS accidentally and
at close quarters? Mrs. G. f. Latham,
wife of mine host at Oak Lodge, on the
Indian river peninsula (Brevard county,
Fla, was returning from the beach
alone and armed only with an umbrella.
When just quarter of a mile from this
very porch, she heard the rustling of
some animal coming toward her through
the saw palmettos.
Thinking it must be a raccOon, she
quickly picked up a chunk of palmetto
wood and held it ready to whack Mr..
Coon over the head the instant he
emerged. All at once, with a mighty
rustling, out stepped a big black bear
within six feet of her! The surprise was
mutual and profound. Naturally Mrs.
Latham was scared, but not out of her
wits, and she decided hat to run would
be to invite pursuit and possibly attack.
She stood her ground and said nothing,
and the bear rose on his hind legs to get
a better look at her, making two or
three feints in her direction with his
paws.
Feeling that she must do something,
Mrs. Latham pointed her umbrella at
the bear and quickly opened and closed
it two or three times. "Woofr' said
the bear. Turning about, he plunged
into the palmettos and went crashing
away, while the lady ran homeward as
fast as she could go. So much for the
Savage and aggressive" disposition 0!

How High Will a Kite Go?

1t is one of the most difficult undertake
ings Imaginable TO ever approximately es-
innate the height of a kite above the
earth. This is on account of the fact that
objects floating in the air seem tc be far
Their away than they really are. 1t may be
safely said that l, 500 feet is the maximum
altitude that can possibly be attained by q
single kite. \. kite flying at the height
mentioned will appear even TO a conServa-
tive observer TO be nearly if not quite q
half mile above the surface Of the earth,
but a careful measurement OF the string
and its angle will quickly prove that 1t
could not have been more than a fourth
of a mile above the ground. Ordinarily
a kite will 80 no higher, even if more
string be paid Il This is because the
wind deprcsses the cord and causes the
kite to really recede when it appears to
rise. 1t has been said that it is possible
to arrange several kites in such a manner
that they will reach a higher altitude
thar lit is possible to attain with a single
kite" In his manner where three, four,
