NEW YoRk,s FIRE-Doo.
Broke Through a Bakers window t.
Run After His Engine.

Nun After Ills Engihes
st. Nicholas has been publishing o
series of articles about the fire depart
ment of New York, written by Charles
T. Hill, the artist. In late issue Mr.
HILL tells about "'Peter Spots'-Fire-
man." dog that belongs to one OF the
engine companies. The dog once fell
into disgrace by playfully swapping at
the heads of the horses when they were
running to fire and causing them to
balk. So he was given to baker who
lived far from the engine house. Mr..
Hill gives the following account, In the
language OF one of the firemen, of the
manner In which ''Peter Spots" came
back to the company: !

Peter, and got used to not having him
around, when one day third alarm
came in that took us QUIT and in get

but ON my word, Peter hadn't forgot
ten us; and when we made our appear
ance he showed up pretty quick. The
baker told me all about 1t afterward,
and this was the way it happened:
Peter was lying asleep beside the stove
in the center of the bake shop, when all
Of a sudden he pricked up one eur,
and then jumped to his feet and gave
bark. The baker was making out
some bills behind the counter, and
thought nothing of 1t until the next
moment Peter gave jump, and was
in the show window among the pies
and cakes and such like. The baker
hollered to him to get out; but Peter
began to claw at the window and bark
and howl. You see he could hear our
whistle and bell and had recognized us.
Then the baker made up his mind that
the dog had gone mad, and got fright
ened and got up on chair, and began
to holler himself; and what with the
baker and Peter, there was high old
time in that bake shop for awhile.
Every time Peter gave q kick he
knocked pie or plate full of cakes
out of the window until he had 1t clear
of everything. Then we hove in sight;
and through the side of the show
window he saw us and recognized ma
In the seat, and that settled it-no
bake shop would hold him then. He
jumped back in the store, braced him
self plump in front of the pane of glass
in the door, and when we were just
about opposite he gave one last howl,

Instinct of n Blind Pig.

Pennsylvania boasts of wonderful
blind pig. 1t was born blind, and at the
tender age of three months was sold to
a neighboring farmer, who took /.
home in his wagon. The road was not
only crooked, but was cut by several
crossroads, and 1t passed through
village with dozen cross-streets, the
entire distance being two miles beyond
the village. The pig was turned into
small lot, and the third day afterward
the little blind fellow was back with his
former owner, There was no other way
for the pig to return home than by
following the road over which he was
carried In the box. Still. as dumb an
imals perform these feats by instinct,

a GIRLS ADVENTURE.
She,nIects n big Hear without Losing
Her prescncc of Mind


The New York Sun is still adding
to its stock Of bear stories. One Of
the latest comes from Potter county,
Pa, and by way of variety it Is n girl
who plays the principal part in the
action.
Louise Berger, the 16-year-old daugh-
ter of Michael Berger, the owner of
small farm in the Kettle creek region,
went to the woods to drive the cows to
the shed, accompanied by small shep-
herd dog.
Soon afterentering the woods, about
half q mile from the farmhouse, the
dog began to act queerly and per-
sisted in keeping at the girls heels, as
X afraid. While The girl scolded the
dog she was Mortified to see monster
black bear shambling toward her. She
had heard her father tell about climb
ing trees to escape bears, and now she
Skinned up a smooth beech with the
agility of boy. The dog ran home
bowling, chased a short distance by the
bear.
When the bear gave up the chase he
came back to the tree where the girl
was a captive. Her red hood had fallen
on the ground. The bear picked 1t up.
The girl screamed, and the bear raised
his huge form against the tree as high
as his legs would push him, but even
then he was nearly ten feet from her.
The girls screams had been heard at
the farmhouse down in the ravine, and
out came her father on the double
quick.
When he reached the edge of the
wood Mr.. Berger saw the red dress of
his daughter in the beech tree. The
girl called to him to be quick. The
bear wheeled toward the advancing
farmer, gazed at him and his rifle just
I'm instant and then started on run
for the thick woods.
But the big fellow was too fat to
make good time, and Berger soon got
within gunshot. Two bullets from the
| Winchester finished the brute. Then
Louise slid down the tree and hurried
home to tell her brother George to
60 to the woods and help his father
bring home the bear.

Hardy Nova scotian Fisherman.

the captain, with the aid Of the cook,
handles the ship and keeps his weather
eye on the horizon. If he sees danger
in sky or sen, he sets signal-usually

often, though, the gale comes up with
such suddenness that the dories to lee
ward cannot get back. A dory with the
bodies Of two fishermen in 1t, or, more
frequently, empty or tossed bottom up
by the waves, tells the story. Yet in
spite of the danger of starvation, a jug
of water usually constitutes all the

The following details Of a recent cleo
trio accident are interesting, and may
be useful. November 90 an electrical
engineer was standing on chair ready
to move reversing switch on the arc
lamp side of a rectifier for lighting d
series of GO lamps 5000 volts). He
casually placed his hand on the metal
| cover of an ammeter (which was in
series with another 6O-lamp clrcuit),
and, turning to the left and leaning
back to make an observation (still
standing on the chair, he placed his
left hand on an iron pillar. Now, the
ammeter case proved to be in metallic
contact (accidental) with the light
leads, and as the return wire was
''earthed" there played through the
body from hand to hand a current I'm
der pressure of (normally) 1000 volts.
AS matter of fact, the electro motive
force tested between the points of CON
tact by Kelvin electrostatic volt meter
proved to be $500 volts.
He says that the first thing he realized
was that he found himself standing on
the floor, but has no clear idea as to
whether he jumped off OF was knocked
OFF," The forearm was drawn up close
to the chest" and the hands clinched
From little above the elbow down he
described feeling of pulsation" and
violent beating in exact step with the
alternators drumming SO periods per sec
ond). All power of movement below
the elbow was absolutely lost, but the
arm at the shoulder could be moved
from the side. The pulsations, al
though still retaining their periodicity,
soon became less violent, and motor
power returned successfully in the
muscles that move the elbow, wrist and
fingers. In three minutes he felt none
the worse" There was no sensation of
utes afterward the hands became pain
full, and examination showed burn On
the tip of the left middle and ring
fingers and on the back Of the right lit
tie and ring fingers, with a scared line
across the lower portion of the palm.
There has been no other effect except
ing that he expresses himself as feeling
decidedly better in general health"
