Six Pretty Girls In a Swamp.

Mr.. J. D. Craven of Hickory Hammock,
In the OkefinOkec swamp was at Way Cross,
Ga, recently and he told Of many of his
experiences with bears, deer and wildcats
in tho swamp. He cultiYates ~ acres Of
rich hammock land, and raises corn, sugar
cane and vegetables. He produces over
1000 pounds of meat every year. The
farm is not fenced, but, as it is surround
ed by iungles, 1t Is almost secure from the
approach Of bears and other wild animals.
Mr.. Craven is 75 years old, and he has
explored the swamp quite thoroughly dur
ing the past so years. He killed 450
pound bear two weeks ago. Honey flows
plcntifully in Hickory Hammock and Mr..
Craven sell hides, honey and beeswax in
largo quantities. Mr.. Craven has a wife,
two sons and six daughters. His daugh-
tiers are pretty. They are good shots with
rifle. and they frequently hunt bears,
decr and wildcats in the swamp.
A large bear chased hog into Mr..
Cravcn's yard few weeks ago, and as he
was about to seize his prey ono Of the
Craven girls ran into the yard and poked
the muzzlo Of her rifle almost into bruins

and sprang toward Miss Craven. The

HAS A TREMENDOUS PULL.
Wonderful Record Made by an Electric
Locomotive.

Wonderful Record Made by an Electric
Locomotive.
A new record was added recently to the
list of remarkable performances made by
the big electric locomotive Of the Belt rail-
road.
Forty-tour loaded cars and three steam
locomotives were successfully hauled
through the B. and o. tunnel by the cleo
trio giant. It's greatest haul previously
had been 81 loaded cars. The extraor-
binary character Of the performance was
heightened by tho fact that this long
train, measuring over 1900 feet and
weighing about / 900 tons, was started
after making II stop in tho tunnel. The
stop was mado on tho heavy grade in the
tunnel, and was caused by the discovery
of II defective coupling pin. 1t was neces-
sary to bring the train to standstill to
remedy this defect.
In starting not sputter, spark or slip
of wheel indicated the tremendous energy
which was developed by the locomotive,
tho train moving off with tho same preci-
sion as II it was only usual pull. A draw
bar pull Of $4,000 pounds was the record
made Mt this start. The train was quickly
brought up to a speed of ~ miles an hour,
with the locomotive exerting a draw bar
pull Of over 40, 600 pounds.
This performance, tho electrical engi-
n0ers say, would DO impossible for a steam
locomotive. Baltimore Sun.

MOUNTAINS IN TIL SEA.
A Gable Detour Around Range seventy
five Miles Long

There exists in the great ocean between
Australia and New Caledonia a range of
mighty submarine mountains, whose lime
stone tops rise within 800 fathoms of the
surface. The discovery of these peaks,
rising sheer 1900 feet from the bottom of
the deep sea, was made by the men who
have just finished laying the first section
of the transpacifc cable Sir Audrey
Coote, who was at the head of the cable
expedition, arrived here yesterday on the
steamer Alameda from Sydney, New
South Wales. He said:
1.-THE sea from Australia to New Gale
donia has been surveyed by British and
by an American vessel. Your Albatross
went there and did some very good work,
but, as it happened, both this expedition
and the other missed the strange feature of
the ocean that l can describe We had an
ticipated no great difficulty in laying the
cable section, and did not find any until
suddenly the bottom of the ocean began to
rise. We were forced to cut the cable there
in midocean and to buoy up the ends. 1t
was then found that what had hindered us
was range Of submarine mountains.
"There is nothing else like this in the
world that L know of. The mountains rise
in abrupt peaks, and are hard limestone
and granite. By careful measurement we
found that the peaks were more than 1000
feet on the average and the highest of
them $500 feet from the bottom of the
ocean. Less than 300 fathoms from the
surface of the water we found the tops of
the highest mountains The range extends
for nearly rs miles-that is, measuring
from the extreme northerly to the extreme
southerly point To lay the cable around
this range took As miles more of cable than
we had counted on. We had to go around
the peaks as railroad would go around
mountain on land. Letter to San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

q NARROW ESCAPE.
Everything Was Smashed In the once Ex-
Dept the Doctor.


One OF New York's great surgeons Is
CONGRATULATED by his friends upon a re-
markablc escape from serious injury. He
is noted for his carefulness in performing
operations. He always sterilzes the in
struments himself. The other day he was
busy in his laboratory. A number of in
struments were being sterilized in q cop
per receptacle, and at the same time he
was using some benZine. Under the cop
per vessel was some paraffin, and under
that an alcohol lamp. The gas was also
lighted. Tho fumes Of the benzine caught
fire, and an explosion followed.
Within three feet of the doctor stood a
great electrical machine with largo glass
wheel On the wall back of him hung a
heavy clock. In the room there was the
ordinary furniture Of an Office, including
desk and chairs. In telling of the occur
renee the doctor said that it seemed to
him as il he were witnessing one of those
stage explosions where houses crumble to
dust and great walls disappear in a flash
He saw the clock fall from tho wall with
tremendous crash, smashing mirror and
a chair. He heard ripping and roaring
all about him. He saw the copper vessel
ny GllIbuSI uilC OF 90 IL
Then the air around him turned into
flame, and no seemed to be suddenly
plunged into roaring fire. He was too
much amazed to know what he was doing,
but moment later he found himself out
on tho sidewalk. He could look in through
tho broken windows and see the flames
raging from floor to ceiling, but after a
careful examination of himself he found
that he was not injured in the slightest
degree. Not even his hair was singed.
Assistance came promptly, and the fire
was speedily put out. Then an oxamina-
ton was made Of tho room and its con-
tents Not single article remained in
tact Nothing larger than splintGrs Of
glass remained Of the electrical machine.
The copper boiler was bont and twisted
out of shape. The clock was in fragments.
The desk was broken and scorched, and so
wero tho chairs. Carpets and curtains
were half burned
Although he is great scientist. tho doc
tor cannot explain his escape satisfactorily.
He thinks that the explosion may have
burst tho windows back and front and
caused draft so strong as to keep out the
flames until he had time to got out. Now
