HOW ALASKANS KILL BEARS.
Novel Tale from the PARKWAY Possession
OF the United States.

II. j. Darling, who is identified with
the salmon industry of Alaska, as the
owner of an extensive canning plant at
Karluk, Kodiak island, lately arrived
from the north. He brought down,
with him some of the largest bear skins
ever seen in San Francisco. One of
them, a perfect and unblemished skin
of an enormous grizzly, measured IL
feet from tip to tip.
Mr.. Barling has marvellous tale to
relate of the native way of killing
bear.
There are many grizzlies on Kodiak
island" he said, "as well as a large num-
Der of cinnamon bears. l was cruising
in launch III an unfrequented cove one
day when | spied two immense grizzlies.
They were so large | did not care to go
after them, but when I got back to
Karluk l 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 a 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 a hole in 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 dexterous movement
the native cut cash in the bears neck
with the sharp spear point. The an
rered animal drew back a few yards
and made a rush. He impaled him-
self on the spear and all was over

SHE WAS THRIFTY.
One Woman Made $4,000 with Thrash
ing Machine.

A woman thrasher is a novelty-that
is, outside of the schoolhouse or home.
And the one in question is genuine
thrasher of the golden grain of the
northwest, says Che Minneapolis Jour
nal. She came into one Of the Minneap'
oils farm machinery houses the other
day to make her final payment on her
machine. This was startling and
marked her as a woman of business ca
pacity; for the man who makes full
payment on a thrasher this season is re.
garded as an exceptionally good man.
That the lady in question had business
head is further evidenced by the fact
that she succeeded in working" the
manager of the establishment for $3.50,
the amount of her fare home.
She innocently told him that to pay
her bill in full would take every cent
she had and she must take out enough
to get home. While the manager gen.
tly demurred at receipting the bin in
full with this discount Off, she ingrn-
iously limited that it would cost mora
than $3.50 to send a collector after the
balance, and he tumbled to the situu-
ton as gracefully as possible. Mrs.
Thrasher Cor perhaps it is Miss) said
that she had made $4,000 out of her ma
chine and had 1S7 stacks of grain to
finish this winter, which she proposed
to do if the snow was hub deep. Consid-
ering the fact that many machines are
being taken back on mortgages this
year, no one can successfully maintain
that o woman is not adapted to this new
field for woman's activity.

TURNS OUT BEssEMER STEEL.
Oxide Successfully Extracted from Rock by
Edison with the Use of Electricity.

Oxide Successfully Extracted from Rock by
Edison with the Use of Electricity.
When Thomas Edison began expert
menting with electricity as a means Of
extracting iron oxide from rock
shiver ran through the spinal columns
of iron mine owners. Then the matter
was forgotten and the public heard
nothing more about magnetic separat-
ors until few days ago, when the
news came out that the method was
not only perfected, but that by it 5000
tons of bessemer steel were being
turned out every day at Edison, N. J.
Mr.. Edison mas been developing his
newest discovery quietly, and now his
smelling works and their appurtenant
buildings cover many acres among the
Jersey mountains. The rock is blast
ed out of open quarries, 5000 tons at a
time, and carried by enormous electric
cranes to rollers which crush the
largest bowlders as if they were lump
sugar. After passing through a Sc
ries of these rollers the fine rock falls
past 700 magnets. which extract the
ore, sending it along to the furnaces al
most free from extraneous matter
From the furnaces the ore issues in
nuggets of bessemer steel ready for the
mills.
