A DANGEROUS PLIGHT.
One Old Sailors Adventure with a
Polar Bear in the Cold Regions.

San Francisco Item.
There is an old soldier named Jake re-
Gently returned to San Francisco from an
Arctic cruise. who has made up his mind
not to go on another whaling expedition no
matter what happens. The reason is this:
On one occasion during his late voyage
jake was on the watch In the lookout
cradle at the masthead, and IL was night
that is, as much night as it ever gets up
about an hour and would rise again about
an hour later.
1t was a beautiful sight as the ship lay
there in the ice. and the air seemed scin-
tillatng with phosphorescent glow that
penetrated everywhere and made no shad-
ows. On all sides the pack ice lay close to
the vessel and reached for miles in every
direction, broken occasionally by a large
berg or the faint outlines of another ship.
The silence was profound; 1t seemed to
produce a roaring sound like the waves Of
a distant ocean. Such surroundings will
put person in semi-comatose state.
from which the slightest sound will awaken
him with start.
Jake suddenly saw something white in
the gloom climbing the mast. Hiss first i'm
pulse was to jump to the deck, but be-
fore he could act upon it the white object
climbed through the lubber hole and Jake
then saw it was a polar bear. Jake real
lied that he was in most dangerous posi-
ton and began to think of means to es-
oW but theY ea co1ldnt hear H he i tried to
get out under the canvas, but the beast
grabbed him and pulled him back. 1t be-
gan humping him, and every time Jake
attempted to move away ii would growl.
Suddenly his eyes lighted on rope hang
ing to the deck just back of the cradle
BY this means he thought he could reach
the deck. To swing himself free was but
the work of an instant, but the bear made
a jump and caught hold of his foot But a
few vigorous kicks freed him and then be-
gan a new terror. Perhaps the rope was
not strong and would break or he might
miss the stay and swing against the mast
and be dashed to death.
The moment in the air seemed years
filed with horror. and several times Jake
wished he had taken his chances with the
bear. To grab the stay and hold was
the most difficult, and twice Jakes hands
slipped and almost lost 1t.
When he reached the deck he looked up
and the rope swing back to the cradle,
where the bear grabbed it, 1t tried to do
as il had seen Jake do, but had no sooner
swung clear than it slipped and fell to the
deck. The crew had bear steak for break

ANIMAL WARNINGS.
Points That the Game Hunter Should
Bear in Mind.
Forest and Stream.

Forest and Stream
During the past fall, while hunting with
rine for squirrels in the heavy timber,
have at dlIIerent times noticed that both
BIRDS and mammals seem to nave several
ways OF warning Others, not only OF their
ownrklnds, but also OF different species, or
the presence of a supposed common enemy.
In TACT, the practice might be called the
warning system OF animated nature.
AS an illustration, suppose the hunter TO
be gong stealthily through the woods or
quietly seated upon a stump or fallen tree,
and while there 10 be seen, as he is almost
sure 10 be, by some of the Sharp-eyed little
wood folks. Now, suppose the little thing
has before been giving out some notes or
SOUNDS peculiar TO its species. All al once
those sounds will be changed to others nav
ing a different cadence from those at nrst
gwen, or as soon as the hunter Is dlscoV-
er ed the sounds may quickly cease, or even
il the little thing was quiet before some
sharp note of danger Will often take the
place OF its stiffness, ana otner animals ana
BIRDS in the immediate vicinity will under
stand the warning, and take up the Sig
nails until nearly every animal thlnS Tor
quite q distance AROUND Will be apprised OF
the danger Then for awhile they Will act
with the utmost discretion until confidence
is restored, when the wood Will resume its
normal ways until some movement OF the

that they extend in all directions beyond

gun While in the woods wnere wild lire
is plenty take note of this system of eau
tionary cries he would find IL very inter-
esting and instructive.
Among the causes that lead to the detec-
ton by animals of person when stil
hunting there is one that ne seldom or ever
thinks about, which is the effec. the sighC
of his shadow has upon them, especially
when the sun is low. No matter how
steaithily one may be going along or how
carefully re may be concealed behind a
tree, or even be seated his long teil-tale
shadow when slightly moving may be a
greater cause of the nonappearance OF
game than he is aware Of.
Still another cause, which, Of course,
cannot be obviated much, is the appearances
of the face and hands in contrast with the
clothes OF the gunner or with surroundin Z
objects. That often attracts the attention
OF animals. but more especially is their at
tention attracted by the movements OF tEe
hands while manipulating the gun. one
cannot help but notice, should he occasion
ally take a look behind him when quiet
in the woods, how near squirrels and other
animals will come uD to him from that di-
rection, while in front he will see none OF
them, thus showing conclusive!y that tia
contrast made by the face and hands vita
surrounding objects has more TO do with
making the hunt other than a successful
one than many gunners are aware OF.

The knowledge of being we'll dressed
gives a Self-poSSeSSion and assurance that
carries with it influence. Among men who
have the time and take the trouble TO dress
for dinner in their own homes il Is admit
ted that business cares slip of with the
changing of garments, and there is much
less occasion for argument and domestic
friction than when a man steps from the
cars into his dining ROOM tired out with
the days work, and sits down opposite a
woman who has just come in from day
shopping.
A child should always be taught to make
a change in dress for dinner no matter
how inexpensive the material. The habit
thus formed will not be considered a trou-

imagination what the petals are to the
rose, the wings TO the butterfly or a golden
haze to a summer landscape.
