DELAUNAY'S SAD FATE.
n Presentiment of His Death Tim
Was Strangely FuIiIIed.

a Presentiment of His Death That
WINS Strangely FULFILLED.
Delaunay, the director of the Paris
observatory, was one of the most kindly
and attractive men I ever met. saws
Professor Simon Newcomb in The At.
lantio. l found it hopeless to expect
that he would ever visit America. he.
cause he assured me that he did not
dare to venture on the ocean. The onlv
voyage he had ever made was across the
ohanneI to receive a gold medal of the
Royal Astronomical society for his
work.
Two of his relatives, his father. and.
believe, his brother, had been drown
ed, and this fact gave him horror of
the water. He seemed to feel somewhat
as the clients of the astrologists. who.
having been told how they were to die.
took every precaution to prevent il. I
remember, as boy, reading history Of
astrology, in which a great MANY cases
OF this sort were described, the peou-
harity being that the very measures
Whlch the victim took to avoid the de-
cree OF tate became the engines that ex-
ecuted it.
The sad fate of Delaunay was not ex-
actly a case of this kind, yet it could
not but bring it to mind. He was at
Onerbourg in the autumn of 1872.
walking ON the shore with a relative,
a couple of boatmen invited them IN
take sail. Through what inducement
Deiaunay was led to forget his fears
VIII never be known. All we know is
that he ventured into the boat, that it
was struck by a sudden squall when at
some distance from the land, and that
drowned. F' "0A0

THE SLY POLAR BEAR.
How He Gets His Dinner of Seal OE
WnIrus Ment.

How He Gets His Dinner of Seal or
WnIrus Meat.
In his native home the polar bear
does not often meet with small boys
anxious to treat him to buns and other
dainties. The consequence is that bruin
has to devise many curious ways Of Sc
curing his food, and none is more
strange and interesting than that relat-
ed by two trustworthy travellers in
Greenland, that country of strange
sights.
They have known the polar bear to
take a stone or huge lump of ice in
his fore paws and from a favorable
height, as a cliff or a precipitous ice
hill, to hurl the missile down upon the
head of a walrus, an enormous brute
often twice the size of the bear, and go
stun him that bruin could rush in and
complete the destruction at his leisure,
thus securing a months rations.
The most usual food of the ice bear,
as the Germans very appropriately call
this beast, is the common seal of the
arctic regions. The latter is the wari-
est animal of the north, and both Eski-
mo and polar bear need their best STRAIT
egy to catch it.
In the summer time, when the snow
is off the ice of the ocean shore and
islets, the seals can be plainly seen as
black dots on the ice, probably asleep,
but always near their holes, which lead
down through the thick ice to the water
below, and into which they can throw
themselves by the least movement
Bruin, seeing one afar, walks up as
near as he deems safe and then begins
crawling on his wary prey
The seal, if the weather be sunny
and pleasant, takes short maps, relieved
by shorter moments when it is scanning
the vicinity for signs of an enemy's ap-
proach. During these times the bear is
very quiet and as still as death itself,
with eyes apparently closed. though
really a corner of each is kept open, and
in this way he hopes the seal will take
him for heap of snow, an appearance
which his coat readily helps him to as
sumo.
During the maps he creeps forward
with greater or less rapidity, according
to his nearness to the seal and conse-
quent fear of being heard or seen.
When but 10 or ~ yards away, and the
seal is in the depths of a good nap, the
bear rushes upon him and with 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 snowho1se. 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 blowhole
for it is through this that the seal
breathes when he is in want of fresh air.
Here the bear watches for many a
long hour if necessary, and when the
snorts of the seal are heard he crushes
in the fragile dome of the snowhouse
with his paw, impaling the seal on his
curved claws, and proceeds to practi-
cally demonstrate how polar bears can
subsist in a arctic winter. London

PRECIOUS METALS.
Gold and platinum Are Cheap Com
pared With Some of Them.

Gold and PIatinum Are Cheap Com
pared With Some of Them.
"The majority of people when asked
to name the most precious metals usu-
ally mention gold as first, platinum as
second and silver as third, - said the
proprietor of large assaying and refin-
ing establishment to the writer recently.
"Now, let us see how near the truth
they would be. Gold is worth about
$3.50 per pound troy, platinum $3.50,
and silver about $12
"We will now compare these prices
with those of the rarer and less we'll
known metals. To take them in alpha
betlcal order barium, the metal which
Davy isolated from its ore, baryta, in
1908, sells for $3.50 pound when it is
sold at all, and calcium is worth 81, 800
a pound. Cirium is shade higher. Its
cost is $160 an ounce, or 81, 920 per
pound. These begin to look like fabu-
lous prices, but they do not reach the
highest point, chromium being 5000.
Cobalt falls to about half the price of
silver, while didymium, the metal iso-
lated by Masander, is the same price
as calcium. Then comes gallium, which
is worth So, an ounce. With this
metal the highest price is reached, and
1t may we'll be called the rarest and
most precious of metals
"Glucium is worth $3.50 per ounce +;
indium, $3.50; iridium, $658 a pound;
janthanium, $175, and lithium, S16O
per ounce. Nidium costs $128 per ounce; ;
osmium, palladium, platinum, potas-
SUM and rhodium bring respectively
$640, $4O0, $3.50, $32 and $512 per
pound. Strontium costs $128 an ounce; ;
tantaum, $144; tilurium, SO; thorium.
$272; vanadium, $500; yttorium, $144,
and zinconium, $3.50 an ounce.
"Thus we see that the commonly re-
celved opinion as to what are the most
precious metals is quite erroneous. Ba-
rum is nearly four times as valuable as
gold and gallium more than 16O times
as costly, while many of the other met.
ais mentioned are twice and thrice as
valuable Aluminium, which cost So
and SO pound in 1890, is now pro-
duced as eheaply az are iron, zinc, lead
and copper. -Washington Star.

The bell at the parsonage went ting
a-ling, and, as the dominic was in his
study and his wife getting the baby to
Sleep Master Harold, aged z, went to
the door. On opening it he found a
couple, evidently from the country,
both young and bashful; but, after
looking at the boy moment, the young
man queried, "Is the parson to home?'
"Yes," said Harold "Do you want
to get married?'
"That's just what we're here for"
said the prospective bridegroom as he
looked fondly at the blushing girl by
his side.
"Well, come right in, then," said
the boy, ushering them into the parlor,
and when they had seated themselves
ON the edge of two chairs side by side
he started off, saying: "I'll call pa, and
ma too. She'll be awful glad, for she
has all the marryin money, and heard
her tell pa this mornin that she wished
some folks would come to get married
cause she hadn't 'nough money to buy
her new hat. "-Chicago News.

was the case Saturday evening when
after their concert the Wizard Oil Com

spent a few hours IN social communion.
While entertainment had been pre-
pared by the order, they were in turn
highly entertained by their guests, who
sang, recited and gave numerous spec
ialties during the evening. AS climax

served, which requires no description

RETURN OF THE REGULATOR.
Our Old Friend Towed up Yesterday
From the Locks-A Little Disabled,
But Still in the Ring.

The news that our tried old friend was
to return home last eve ming, caused
large crowd to gather at the dock of the
D. P. & A. N. Co. at $3.50 to welcome
her back, and rs the Inland Flyer and
little tug, Pearl, which belongs to the
lumber company at Viento, made th- -ir
appearance towing the disabled craft be-
tween them. to many it seemed like the
return of SCARED warrior from battle.
Indeed the Regulator does look some
what the worse for wear; but when she
dons her new fall jacket and comes forth
in her new riggin' the swells will stand
back and watch her go by.
1t was considered advisable to bring
the Regulator to this city and beach
her, so that she would be dry when her
new hull, which is being built in Port
land, is finished. Accordingly yester-
day about 10 o'clock, the two crafts
above mentioned started up the river
with their burden homeward bound /,
reaching here about s 80, and she now
looks more comfortable as she rests on
the bosom OF Mother Columbia at the
foot OF Washington street.
In about six weeks her new hull will
be completed and brought to The Dalles,
where the disabled house will be placed
on it, thoroughly repaired and as good
as new. The upper deck now is in a
fair condition, but the lower will need
much work before she is in good trim.
Dalles people will welcome the day
when the Regulator again lifts her head
and proudly bids defiance to the winds
and waves which downed her. And she
will lord it over them when she does.
