bear yesterday morning 81 rattersall'A
when Babylon, one Of Ringing
Brothers big elephants, knocked tbs
brute down and saved the child's life.
The bear. known as ''Growler." had
q vicious temper. He was chained
near the elephants. The little girl Is
q friend Of the elephants and was romp-
ing with some Of them when Growler
seized her and closed his paws around
her slender form.
Babylon, who had been an interested
spectator, brought his trunk down with
crushing force on Growers head. The
bear was stunned by the blow, and re-
leased the child, who had tainted. The
elephant then picked her up and placed
her where the bear could not reach her.
Attendants, who heard Bessie's screams,
ran to her assistance, but arrived too
late to rob Babylon of the honor of saw
ing a human life.

Worms in the Eye.

From London Titbits: This is not so
improbable as it may seem, but only
people who live in tropical countries
suffer in this way. The worm in CUES
ton is a mere thread-one of the flaria
and looks like a very little piece Of
vermicella; but when examined under
a microscope it is seen to have a round
head and a pointed tail. 1t has been
found in the eyes of Europeans who
have lived on the Congo and in similar
countries. The eye becomes more or
less inflamed and swollen until the
worm is either extracted or migrates
of it's own accord. This migration is
one of the peculiarities of the "loa,"
as it is sometimes called. It goes from
n eye to the other, passing under the
skin at the back of the nose. It will
be seen in Il eye for a day or two,
then it will disappear; but a few days
later reappear in the other eye. It
does not always remain upon the sur
face in the conjunctiva Gts usual abode)
but occasionally makes a tour of the
whole of the organ of vision.

Clothed Their Cows.


From the San Francisco Chronicle:
A few days ago the residents OF the
southern portion of the county had their
attention directed to a herd of thirty
five cows which were being driven out
Mission road to San Mateo county. On
each of the animals was a covering
consisting of four ordinary barley
sacks sewed together. The blanket was
fastened by cords to the legs of the
COW and tied about the neck.
The COWS belonged to Koostri Broth
ers, of the Holstein Dairy. near the
Five-Mile house. They were being driv-
en- to a ranch in San Mateo county
the ocean shore. George Koostri, one
OF the owners of the cows, said the
idea was common in the cold countries
of Northern Europe.
"The ranch we own in San Mateo
county, he said, lis situated very close
to the ocean,. The climate is cold. The
breeZes which blow from the sea are
very penetrating. Our cows would be
chilled and we would be unable to al
low them to pasture If we did not pro-
vide them with some covering to resist
the cold. In some of the European
counties the cows are blanketed in the
winter months and kept in a large en-
closure. They are not allowed out, but
are fed in a stable. This lasts in some
places from the first of November to
the first of May. We have thirty-tive
cows out on the ranch. Every one
wears a blanket, which will not be re-
moved until they return to the city
about three months from now. The eli
mate here is much warmer in compari-
son to what it is along the sea shore in
San Mateo. The people who watched
us driving the herd to the ranch
thought that the cows were sick. They
We're very healthy, I can assure you"

Stabbed With a Hat-Pln.

From Chambers Journal: A man
was stabbed in the back of the right
shoulder with a hatpin, such as wom-
en- use. The pin broke S7hen the blow
was inflicted, and only the head with
the upper part could subsequently be
found. The man suffered no inconve-
nience from the injury, and, this being
the case, he thought no more Of the
matter. However, some months after
ward he suffered a good deal from pain
in his right shoulder, and this was as
cribed to rheumatism. But no relief
followed the treatment adopted, and it
was not until some weeks had elapsed
that the symptoms entirely passed
away.
In the course of time he noticed a
long, hard substance under the skin in
the region OF the lower part of the
breastbone, which puzzled him greatly.
Suddenly he CHANGED to think of the
stab with the pin which he had re-
ceived about twelve months previously,
and then it occurred to him that the
hard substance was the missing por-
ton of the pin. He obtained the SER
vices of a surgeon, who cut down upon
the foreign body and found it to be
exactly as the maj had supposed. The
portion of the pin extracted was two
inches and iye-eighths in length, and
slightly bent in the middle.

A Big Hungry vulture.

Chino Dispatch to San Francisco
Examiner:-A bird of prey as tall as a
man! Such is the prize just captured
by the superintendent of Richard Gird's
ranch in the hills south of Chino, San
Bernardino county.
The prisoner is a magnificent speci-
men of the California vulture, without
doubt the largest ever taken captive.
From the crown of it's Notwithstanding,
red-wattled head to it's strong, scaly
talons it measures six feet. It's plucky
cowhide boots. The man has the ad-
vantage in weight, for the bird weighs
100 pounds. Still, that is a fair fighting
weight to carry through the rarefed
upper air. In order to accomplish this
feat the vulture is provided with wings
that have a spread of twelve feet.
Withal, the ornitho1ogists who have
seen it say that it merely a young
ster.
Apart from the red wattles already
alluded to, the birds head conveys the
idea Of a very bald old man of miserly
instincts. The back and the upper
part of the wings are gray and the tail
larger wing feathers are a glossy black.
The legs and feet are of a reddish hue.
Altogether, Mr.. Gird's pet is a formA
idable-looking customer. Partly for
this reason, partly because of his red
poll, partly because CT his light weight
in contrast to his extreme height and
strength, and partly because he shows
a vicious inclination to deal Knockout
blows to whoever approaches him, MI.
Grid proposes to take good care of his
prize and is prepared to match him
against any captive wild bird living.
If the match were an eating contest.
Mr.. Grid would probably be on the safe
side. Allured by the palatable flavor of
a dead COW, the bird devoured nearly
every particle of flesh from it's bones
which so oppressed him that however
vigorously he tapped his wings, he
was unable to soar away to his eyre
among distant mountain Businesses.
In this humiliating predicament he
was lassoed and dragged to MI. Gird's
stable. His mood just at present is a
trifle morose, as might be expected I'M
der the circumstances, but Mr.. Grid
hopes to convert the bird ii..o an af-
f%ectionate and interesting household
pet. Even in the birds present un-
tutored condition his owner declares
that he would not take $1,000 for him.
Mr.. Grid probably does not exagger-
ate the value of his acquisition. The
California vulture is very nearly ex-
tinct, owing to the traps laid for birds
of prey by the settlers.
