to being, 1t is presumed. his political
foe, John Marshall OF the United
States court. In some Of Randolph
peculiarities he seems to have taken
pride. One which he cultivated with
care was an exaggerated precision OF
pronunciation. This led him to correct
without hesitation whatever he con-
sidered blunder in that respect. In

The receivers of the Baltimore &

ton to the Improvement OF the grades
on the third division, from Cumber-
land to Grafton. or rather that portion
which lies between Altamont. the top
OF the sevcnteenmile grade. and Ter
RI Alta. where the Cranberry grade be-
gins to descend. The line passes
through Deer Park and Oakland and
crosses what Is known us the "Glades
OF the Allegheny Mountains. The
grades are short and choppy, some OF
them being SO to SO feet to the mile.
One of the first pieces Of work to be
done is now In progress at No. IS Cut,
where the grade is being reduced from
81 feet to i2is feet per mile, with equa-
tions for curvature. 1t is expected
that the cutting down Of this grade
will enable the receivers to increase
the train load from 1000 tons to 1880
tons on enst-bound trains. One mile
Of the roadway will be lowered and 1t
is expected that the work will be COM
pleted by the middle of 0Stober.

BEARS AS SIN AS FOXES.
They Throw Lumps of Ice ut WAL
ruses to Stun and Capture Them


London Telegraph: In his native home
the polar bear docs not often meet WIN
small boys anxious to treat him to buns
and other dainties. The consequence is
that Bruin has to devise many curious
ways Of securing his food, and none are
more strange and interesting than that
related by two trustworthy travellers IN
Greenland, that country of strange sights.
They have known the polar bear to take
stone or a huge lump of ice In his
fore paws and from favorable height.

that Bruin could rush in and complete
the destruction at his leisure. thus secur-
ing a months ratiCns.
The most useful food of the ice bear.
as the Germans very appropriately can
this beast, is the common seal OF the
al cite regions. The latter is the War1est
animal of the north, and both Eskimo
and polar bear need their best strategy
to catch it.
In the summer time, when the snow is
off the ice of the ocean shore ana lslets.
the seals can be plainly seen as black
dots on the ice. probably asleep, out
always near their holes. which lead down
through the thick ice to the water below.
and into which they can throw them
selves by the least movement Bryln,
seeing one afar, walks up as near as ne
deems safe and then begins crawling
on his wary prey
The seal, if the weather be sunny and
pleasant, takes short maps, renewed oy
shorter moments when it is sca!n1ng the
vicinity for signs CT an enemys approach
During these times the bear is very quiet
and as still as death itself. with eyes ap-
rarently closed, though really corner OF
each is kept open, and in this way ne
hopes the seal will take him for heap
of snow. an appearance which his coat
readily helps him to assume.
During the maps he creeps forward With
greater or less rapidly according to his
nearness to the seal and consequent fear
Of being heard or seen. When but ten
or twelve yards away. and the seal IS IN
the depths of good nap, the bear rushes
upon him, and with a single blow of his
powerful paw knocks the smaller brute
Senseless and SO far away from the hole
that he cannot escape by that way. even
if the blow received is not Immediately
fatal.
in winter time the ice is covered with
snow, and this is followed out by the seal
into a snow house, covering the hole in
the ice and connecting at the top of the
dome with an aperture about the size OF a
shilling. called the blow hole. for it is
through this that the seal breathes when
he is in want of fresh air.
Here the bear watches for many long
hour if necessary. and when the shorts of
the seal are heard he brushes in the frag
impaling the seal on his curved claws.

how polar bears can subsist in an arctic
