A NATURAL BEAR TRAP.
| One Place In the Yellowstone Park Whero
! Nature Suffocates Wild Animals

Nature Su6Ocotes "ud Animals.
f. 81. Knowlton tells in Recreation
about natural bear trap in the north
eastern portion of the Yellowstone Ma
tionaI park, on a small stream called
Cache creek, about ten miles above its
junction with the Lamas river. Knowl-
ton and friend were going up through
a gulch Cache creek had made, when
near the head OF it, about so feet distant,
they saw huge grizzly bear curied up
as if asleep. Considering it to be i'm
polite to awaken it, and nothing to
offer but prospectors' picks, they
climbed up the side of the gulch at once,
quietly and expeditiously.
Out of reach of the bear, they stopped
and fired rocks and anathemas at it, but
as the bear continued in the same posi-
ton they finally made up their minds
that it was dead. 1t was dead and had
been dead about five hours. There was
no wound on its body, but little blood
had dripped from the nostrils. They
then became conscious of a sense Of
suffocation from strong sulphur fumes
arising from mineral springs therea
bouts. The bear had wandered in
them, tempted, perhaps, by the skefe-
tons of four other bears, an elk, SPUR
rels, rock hares and butterflies and
other insects. and had been asphyxiated
by the noxious gases.
The head of the gulch made sort of
a basin in which the gas settled. This
gas is not very deep, mans head being
about on the surface of it, since the
scoops rim allows the gas to flow down
the stream with the creek, in sort of a
gas river on the water creek.

Rabbits confined and reared in

should be fed chiefly dry oats. After
six to eight weeks old, feed whole, dry
oats. but under that age the oats should
be crushed. All kinds of roots should
be fed sparingly at first until ac-
customed to them. Fed too much at
first fiatulency will result. Wheat may
be fed to advantage. Cabbage and other
green wet stuff should be avoided as
causing pot belly and disease. A little

is encouraging, and that is the gains
made by the Democrats in Con-

haye been counted, the Democrats
have made a total gain of 30 Con-

gain of l6, making a total gain of
46by the Democrats and Populists
