 Rr- Mrs. Anderson's most exciting time of life was the first years of hs,r residence in Potter county. Then deer Nsre as plentiful as lambs in meadow; elk inhabited the region in monster drovss; partners prowled in every rav- inc, and wolves in rayenous droves made the night hideous with a. chorus of m9notonous howls. Mrs. French (as was the case them was an expert shot and has slain scores of black bear, cata- mounts and deer. But wolves were her speciality, for the bounty on these ami mals was large enough to maks their hunting profitable. Mrs. French was once delayed on a homeward journey and darkness overlook her. She was travelling footpath leading from Ket- tie creek to hsr home, when she heard wolves approaching. She concluded that they were on her trail, and, strap ping her rife to her back, she climbed hemlock tree, knowing that if she could but gst dozen feet above ground she would be safe from The wolves sharp teeth and claws. In less than ten minutes the pack of wolves had oNeftaken her and surrounded the tree upon which she had taken refuge. She could see the green eyes of the animals shimmer in the darkness, and directing he- rife at the dark objects at the foot Of the trea she fired as fast as she could reload. Every shot was answered by a growl of pain as a, wolf keeled over She was within mile of her home, and the repeated firing of the riflA soon brought her husband upon the scene. He came bearing a rifle in one hand and fam ing torch of piry fagots in the other. The fire frightened tn wolves, and long before French had reached the tree where his wife was captive the howl ing pack went scampering ov@r the brow of the hill into the valley beyond.
 When Mrs. French had taken inven- tory of her rifles work she found that five wolves lay dead at the foot of the tre=. The hides and bounty from these were worth a good round sum. So sine never regretted being treed by the pack.
 Her early life was full of such lnci dents, but she is getting so old that sh- cares but little to relate them nowadays. Her sime is spent in a big armchair. built from beechwood sapplngs. in which she rocks and sighs and nurses her rheumatic joints.

Novel snow Eradicator.

New York City has introduced q
novel means for clearing its streets Of
snow. Heretofore three or four thou.
sand carts were required to cart the
snow to the river, and the clearing Of
the streets in that manner has cost
the city from 5000 to $l50,000 a
snow storm. A recent test has been
made Of snow melter into which the
snow is thrown by IA shovelers, i'm
mediately melted and the water car.
ried off to the sewers. In this way il
is claimed that an immense saving
can be made to the city and the clear
ing Of streets accomplished in less
time.

some Frightened Rats.

The janitor Of the Public Safety
building in Pittsburg has a novel plan
for ridding buildings Of rats. One day
some time ago he caught big fat rat
and decided to "bell" it. He fastened
a bell to its tail securely with q wire
and then turned it loose. Then there
was commotion in the rat kingdom.
Swarms OF rats chased through the
appertures to get away from the "bell
ringer" who was never able to catch
up to them. He was big fat rat, and
was at disadvantage because Of bis
weight. At all events the rats left the
building, chased away by the one
which had the bell. One day he was
found dead, emaciated, of course, but
with the bell still on his tail.

In NATURAL
C1LORs,

According to recent article in the
London Times, decided advance has
been made in color photography, and
one which appears to give results OF
great practical value. M. Villedieu
Chassagne OF Paris has lately sub
mitted to the Society OF Arts a process,
the ioint invention Of himself and DIR.
Adrien Michel Dansac, by which pho
tographs can be produced showing the
actual colors of the objects photo
graphed. The process is q simple and
inexpensive one. A negative is taken
on a gelatine plate, which has been
treated with solution of certain salts I;
the nature OF the solutions used is for
the present kept secret. The negative
is developed and fixed in the ordinary
way, and when finished looks like any
other negative. From 1t positive is
printed on sensitized paper or on q
gelatine film (if transparency is de-
sired), plate or paper having previously
been treated with the unknown solu-
ton. The positive looks exactly like
an ordinary common Photographic
print or transparency, and shows no
trace Of color. 1t is then washed over
with three colored solutions, blue,
green and red, and it takes up in sue
cession the appropriate color in the
appropriate parts, the combinations of
the colors giving all varieties Of tint.
Thus. in landscape the trees take on
various hues OF green, the sky becomes
blue. the flowers show their proper
colors. the bricks and tiles OF the
houses are red, and 80 on. In a por-
trait the flesh tints come out well. and
the different colors of the costume are
accurately given. The general ap-
pearance Of the picture is that Of
colored photograph. Looked at from
adistance it would be taken for one.
Inspected under a high magnifying
power it is seen that the colors follow
the details in manner hardly possi-
BILE for hand-work. Further and inde-
pendent investigation will no doubt
throw some light on the principles in
volved. At present no explanation can
be offered. The inventor himself does
not profess to offer any, and until fur
ther information is available, all spec
ulation must be mere guess-work. II
Is to be said, however, that the sub
ject certainly looks as il il would re-
pay scientific examination and increase
scientific knowledge.
