Bears Great Strength.
From the Chica 20 Inter-ocean.

rTom the CnlcaSo 1nter-Ocean.
Yes, the strength Of grizzly bears is al
most beyond belief. I have read about the
powerful muscles in the arms. of African
gorillas, but none can compare with those
in the arms and shoulders of big grizzly
bears. l have seen a grizzly bear with one
forepaw shot into uselessness pull its own
LOO pounds of meat and bone up preci-
pices and perform feats of muscle that
trained athletes could Tot do. i have seen
grizzly bears carrying the carcasses Of
pigs that must have weighed seventy
pounds several miles across a mountain
side to their lair, and have heard hunters
tell Of having seen cows knocked down as
IL by a thunderbolt with one blow of the
forepaw Of a bear. Three summers ago
spent the season in the coast mountains up
In Monterey county, and one moonlight
night ! saw big she grizzly bear in the
act of carrying a dead COW home TO her
cub. I had position on the mountain side
where l could see every movement of the
bear in the sparsely timbered valley below
me. The critter carried the dead COW in
her forepaws for at least three miles
across jagged, sharp rocks ten feet high
over fallen logs, around the rocky mountain
sides, where even a jackass could not get
q foothold, to narrow trail UP the steep
mountain. She never stopped to rest for
moment, but went right along. I followed
and just about half a mile from the beasts
lair I laid her low. The heifer weighed at
least 200 pounds and the bear would have
tipped the beam at about $50 pounds.

Legacy of Bread.
From the London Telegraph.


Crowds of people from all rarts of Kent
many even travelling from London by train
or 'cyele-visited the quiet, remote and
sleepy village of Biddenden, not far from
Tenterden, for the purpose of celebrating
the memory Of the Twin Maids Of that
ancient hamlet, who were tine original pre-
crrsors of the Siamese twins. In life they
were Joined together by a mysterious cord
OF flesh, and they died on the same day,
leaving their property to he distributed
among the poor of the parish, and among
all who care to apply for a dole of bread
and cheese on Easter day.
This benefaction has been In existence
for six or seven centuries, and at present
it's value is about f42 year. Formerly the
dcleS consisted of bread and cheese and
ale, but the latter produced so much hilar-
ity in tie village that it was abolished, and
the charity is now limited to the two first
mentioned nutritive articles. The bread is
made up in the form of cakes. bearing
rude representation OF the Twin Maids of
Biddenden, which are generally preserved
as curiosities by the recipients They are
baked very hard, and are admirably adapt

monster" and proceeded to the rails
which remained to be hoisted. He was
about to attack the next rail when, to his
surprise and alarm, he noticed a huge
shark. approximately sixteen feet long, ly-
ing right across the rails.
The diver was ina quandary, because
retrea. from ouch a monster was exceed
ingly dangerous, while open hostilities
with the knife would have been almost
suicidal. not only on account Of the size of
the shark, but on account of its being
literally sheathed with barnacles. Further
although the shark lay almost motionless,
not a sil.gle rail could be touched without
disturbing it, With a view to frightening
the shark, Batten suddenly released all the
air contained in bis Suit, which act caused
a cloud of bubbles to rise from the escape
valve. The shark did not bulge, and when
the suit had refilled Batten made several
feints as II to stab his enemy, but again
without the desired effect Then the mon
ster made the first move. Steadily he roll
ed over on his back, showing long white
belly, and opened and shut an enormous
mouth framed With rows Of ivory white
saw-like teeth Batten wisely waited for
no more, but dipped the escape valve, caus-
ing him to rise rapidly to the surface. He
lost no time in scrambling up the ladder
into the boat out of harms way A num-
Ter of people spent a great part of the
afternoon In endeavorfng to hook the
shark: various kinds Of bait were tried,

Tom PaIno's Bridge.

A piece of cable recently found in a
historic dwelling at the Falls OF
Schuylkill recalls the first suspension
bridge Of a single arch ever attempted
in this country. The idea originated
with Thomas Paine, "the great COM
moner of mankind" while he was
spending the summer Of 1885 at the
hotel near the falls Of Schuykill The
idea was suggested to him by the
mechanism Of spider web, and he be-
gan to work upon plans for an iron
bridge to span the river at that point.
To lay his model before the French
Academy of Science, Paine went to
France in 1887, but that country was
already ON the road to revolution, and
had no time for the study Of bridges.
In England Paine forgot his scientific
mission and became absorbed in polit-
ical affairs, which ended with his i'm
prisonment and gave to the world "The
Rights Of Man." but lost to 1t for many
years advanced scientific brldge-build-
