BEARS At THE schooLHouse.


Not Long Since They Were Pest In
Maine.
Bears were unusually numerous in
Maine during the season Of 1896, and
were seen In places never before known
to be frequentcd by them. An excep.
tional abundance of food may have nc.
counted for this in part. The bears
relished the plentiful yield Of berries
and apples. In some instances they
became bold enough to approach the
habitations of men.
A story Is told Of n farmers wife who
had made ready for churning on the
back porch Of her house, which stood
near the edge Of wood. She left the
cream In the churn for a half-hour or
more, while she was busy elsewhere,
and when she returned to the porch,
she found the churn overturned and n
black bear engaged In tapping up the
cream. The animal made OF mt her
approach, and disappeared In the
woods.
A teacher In the western part Of
Maine had a singular experience. Hear.
ing peculiar noise in the entry during
the morning session Of school, she
opened the door and looked out. To
her dlsmay she found black bear
with her two cubs making free with
the children's lunch baskets.
The animals stopped nosing and eat.
ing as the teacher appeared. and then
tsS t.ss
and perhaps fearful for her cubs. came
toward the door with mcnacing aspect.
The children saw the brute and were
terribly frightened. Some screamed,
others climbed on the desks. and two
Jumped from the window and ran to.
ward home.
Acting on the impulse Of the mo.
ment, and prompted by the sense that
she must protect the children, the
teacher seized the broom, which
CHANGED to stand just within the door
and thrust It, brush end foremost, into
the bears face and eyes.
The brute, astonished by this recep
ton, backed away, and the teacher
seizing the opportunity. stepped In and
hurriedly shut the door.
Then, assuming a calmness which
she was far from feeling, she did hei
best to quiet the frightened children
Meantime, the two who had escaped by
way Of the window ran home as fas,
rs their feet could carry them. They
found some men at work on the road
and gave the alarm.
In the course Of nm hour several mer
armed with guns came to the school
house. The bears had gone to the
woods, but hunt was soon organized
and with the hid Of dogs the old beal
aud one cub were shot. The other one
was captured alive and presented t.
the brave schoolmistress.

Microbes Devour Sewage.

A novel disposition of sewage is made
at Exeter, England. The method con-
sists of four tanks, fourth of the
sewage passing into each. Light and
air are excluded from the tanks; putre-
faction and decomposition are rapidly
set up; the microbes multiply and the
solid portions of the sewage are con-
sumed, and the outflow from the tanks
is nothing but slightly colored water
which, after passing through filters,
loses all color and taste. No chemical
Is used and no attention to the tanks
Of any sort is needed. Each filter bed
automatically cleanses itself by being
out of use for a short time

We have often beard litigarts in
this county grumble bout the attorney
fees they we're required to pay and in
some cases their grumbling was prob
ably justified. The other day in the
circuit court for Milwaukee county
Lawyer Henry Klllilea was allowed
So 900 and the taxable costs for conduct
ing foreclosure case. The mortgage
was large one, but the lawyers who
testified said that the work was Writ
nallv the same as if the mortgage WAS
for small SPIN Of, say 500. The only
work which a lawyer is called on to do
in foreclosure case by default is to
draw the summons, complaint, proof of
service and proof of default, to attend
court and get the Judgment, and at
tend the sale and draw all papers.
Our attorneys get the solicitors fees,
which are usually about So or 500,
and the taxable costs. In awarding
Killilea the So 900 attorney fees the
court told how he had charged S., 900
for fureclosing a mortgage of $83, 600.

ELECTRIC STROKE,
le Affects workmen rs Does Fierce Sun
Heat.

One of the most extraordinary mod
ern diseases is a peculiar affection, most
aptly termed electric stroke, which not
infrequently befalls workmen employed
in melting metals by means of cleo
tricity. It appears from observations
made at the great steel and iron works
at Cruzot, says the Boston Journal,
that the intense voltage arc between
the carbon and the metal TO be melted
emits rays which, even at the distance
of ten meters, produce painful, hot,
pricking sensation, like that of burn,
on such uncovered portions of the body
as the throat, face, and more especially
the forehead.
The skin of the parts affected be-
comes either copper-colored or assumes
a bronze hue; the eyes, in spite of black
glasses, are so intensely dazzled as to
be useless for some minutes, after
which Nanthopsia yellow vision) sets
in, everything appearing saffron-col-
ored, the conjunctive are infamed, and
there is gritty feeling, as of sand I'M
der the eyelids. There is frequently
great pain, accompanied often by sleep
lessness, and in some instances fever.
After a few days these symptoms
subside and the skin of the affected
parts peels and the patient is restored to
health.
Now, the remarkable thing about all
this is that very little heat is radiated
from the electric arc used; all the
trouble arises from the light rays, and,
although it has not yet been expert
mentally proved, there can be little
doubt that the blue and violet-that is,
the chemical-rays are to blame.
