HOW ALAskANs KILL BEARS.
Novel Tale from the PARKWAY Possession

H. j. Barring, wac IS identified with
the salmon ifduetry of .-lasll;., as the
owner OF an cXtens.se c,t..h-Ag plant at
Karluk, kcG.ak ISLAND, lately arrived
from the ..1rth lie brought down

ever seen in San i,'ran1.1co. one of
them. Il perfect and unblemished skin
OF an enormous grizzly. measured -
feet from tip to tip.
Mr.. Barring has n marvellous tale to
relate Of the natiyes way of killing a
bear.
There are, many grizzlies on Kodiak
island he said, "as well IS large mum
ber of cinnamon bears. | was cruising
in launch in an unfrequented cove one
day when l spied two immense grizzlies.
They were so large | did not care to go
after them, but when | got back to
karlull | communicated the fact to an
Indian, who bore the reputation of be-
ing one of the best bear hunters in that
section. Although 62 years old, he had
to ask his mothers permission, which,
being granted, he started across the
country after the bears. He simply
armed himself with long spear. He
creased his head and got to the wind
ward of the animals. Pretty soon he
heard a tramping in the brush and
knew the prey was approaching. He
dug n hole iii the ground, planted one
end Of the spear firmly with the point
in the direction of the bear and then
crouched down. The bear came along
and dashed for the head of the Indian.
With a swift and feXterops movement
the native ctt cash in the bears neck
with the sharp spear point. The an
Eered animal drew back few yards
and made q rush. Hesimpaled hiD1-
self on the spear and ell was over.''-

WASTE OF COMBUSTION.
Much Energy of Coal Lost In the
Burning.

A lump of camel is burning on the
crate. What takes place? The air is
drawn in beneath the CRATE and rises
through the bars. Its oxygen COM
bines with the coal to produce carbonic-
acid gas, which, together with the inert
nitrogen of the air and the smoke or
unconsumed carbon, rises in the chin
ney and escapes. This is the role
played by the materials. How about
the forces? The chemical union of the
oxygen with the coal sets free the Goals
stored-up energy, and this energy, be
ing indestructible, must manifest it
self in some way, and so shows itself as
bustion.
Sitting before an open fire I have
often dreamed Of converting the stored
up energy of the coal into some form of
energy even more useful to man than
heat. We know that, theoretically at
least, all natures forces arc intercon-
vertible; why should not the potential
energy OF coal be converted directly in
TO electricity instead of into heat? Could
ell of the energy be extracted from a
single pound of coal and made to do ne
chanical work, this work would more
than equal a days labor of very
strong man. In the great coal fields
that are distributed over the face of the
earth nature has stored up supply of
energy safely estimated to be equal to
the hand labor of the entire population
of the world continued for thousand
years.
The most convenient and useful, be-
cause the most tracta BILE, form of en-
ergy is electricity. In the facility with
which we may at will and without
waste convert it into such other form of
energy as happens to be desired lies the
superiority of electricity over all the
rest of natures forces. Having cleo
tricity, we may easily produce heat or
light, or mechanical motion, or chem
ical force; but electricity itself has
hitherto been produced in quantity
only by the use of complicated mech
anism and with great waste.

dynamo that is turned by an engine
which is operated by steam, and the
steam is made from water by means of
heat derived from the combustion of
coal. But this is long and circuitous
process, with large leakage at every
step. Much of the energy of combustion
goes up the chimney as heat or smoke;
much of the heat is lost in boiling the
water to make steam; muchsof the eN-
pansive force of the steam is wasted az
it escapes from the engine; much Of
the power Of the engine is wasted as
friction. and there is some loss in the
dynamo itself. Recent tests. made 5r

Light association. of so modern electric
