and that he would sell his secret to them
for money. The directors hesitated, be-
lieving that they had taken every precau-
tion against loss from the vaults III put
ting up heavy masonry. with plenty of
iron bars and by manning the building
with armed watchmeD. But finally they
granted the man, who seemed to talk
fairly. chance to try his plan. and a
night was named for the undertaking.
At the appointed time a committee of
the directors descended to the cellar and
heard a peculiar scratching sound under
their feet. Two hours later the floor
opened, and the ditch digger bobbed up
serenely. like the evil spirit in the spec
tacular drama. All around them lay bars
of precious metal, totaling in value f3,-
100000. The man explained satisfacto-
rily how it was done, and as a reward
the directors assured him an income for
life on an investment of $4,000. The
crook was content, and it is believed he
remained honest ever afterward.

Bear t-hIing b;is 1accoEe the new na-
tional sport Of iraiy, according TO Il
correspondent of III" Philadelphia Times.
The origin was accidental Some time
ago the young Prince of Moifetla bought
a baby bear from 4 karpathian hunter.
If he had been peasant instead of Il
prince. il : probable he would have
trained his savage pet To dance to the
music of 4 hurdy surdy. In that case
il is not improbable that the bear and his
master would be in the streets of Phil
adelphia at this very moment, tempting
pennies from small boys in knickerbock-
ers and little girls in pinafores. But, be-
ing prince. and d prince of muscular
attributes. with princely ambition for
their display under More congenial con-
ditions 5Iolfetta taught his young bear
to fight mimic battles with his young
master.
The bear was trained to stand on his
hind legs and fight according TO the strict
rules of the prize ring. 1t was a serious
business, the education of this young
bear-serious for the bear and serious for
the athlete. Many were the scratches
his bearship inflicted upon the prince
ling before the former learned to recog-
niZe the noble rules formulated by Il
Marquis OF Queensberry. In time, how
ever, the bear and The man were ready
for public exhibitions of their prowess,
but even now it is necessary TO place a
man with q lasSo in one corner of the
arena TO draw off the educated bear if
in one OF his momentary lapses into
the savage state there is danger that he
will substitute a blow or the death deal
ing claw of the man killer for the mus
cular hug of the wrestler.
While bear fighting, as it is now prsc-
ticed in modern Italy, is not mere exhi-
bition of the one sided cruelty OF bear
batting, that delighted Engiishmen in the
glorious days of the great Queen Bess, it
is lacking in the thrilling interest of the
gladiatorial contests with wild beasts that
were so highly appreciated in ancient
Rome. In the Italian bear fight the in
terest centers in the momentary danger
TO the man. In the Roman arena the
man was slave, and the interest was
concentrated i'll The delight of seeing him

TURNING TO BONE.
Strange Fate of Aaron Palmer at &
New York Hospital.

Aaron Palmer, the man undergoing
ossifcation of all his soft tissues at Ford
ham hospital, says the New York Jour
nal. has unique existence these hot
weary summer days as he lies stoically
watching the slow process of extinction
which is converting him into the simili-
tude of a statue.
The only thing that can give real in
terest to his life now, beyond the agoniz-
ing calculation as to how far off death
may be, is the eager curiosity of scien-
fists as to his case.
Probably no patient who has ever So
iourned in a New York hospital has been
the object of SO much learned attention
as he has.
Yet even this may seem fat, stale and
Improbable to him in the overshadow-
ing presence of the infinite problem of an
after existence.
Aaron Palmer is reasonably cheerful
under the circumstances. He does not
complain; he does not bemoan his fate.
There is certain compensation in his
malady. 1t lessons the nervous sensibili-
ty. Those parts which it has begun to
metamorphose are painless. He lies in a
state of physical drowsiness-that is.
the body consciousness is vague and
faint, although the mind may still be
alert and keen.
Every muscle, even where osSifcation
has not yet declared itself. has lost some
thing of its elasticity. The movement
of the jaws in eating is heavy and forced.
He is fed with the greatest regularity
and as frequently as is compatible with
the proper administration of medicine to
him. The assimilating function of the
body must be made to resist its inevita-
Bile arrestation as long as possible. In
his case the digestive apparatus is the
. very citadel of life.
1t is odd to think that this man who
is rapidly turning into stone-calcareous
stone, for bone is chiefly lime-should
have appetite; but he has. He is. chiefly
supplied with farinaceous foods. No
meats or pastries are offered him.
For breakfast he is allowed q small
howl Of oatmeal and milk. a piece of
toast and sometimes a cup of cocoa.
His luncheon consists of glass of milk
and little fruit. His dinner is very
much the same as breakfast, except that
occasionally he is permitted TO take
small quantity of beef tea.
Palmer, when in full health. was of
large frame and powerful build. Today
his limbs are shrivele6 and he is abso-
lutely helpless. He is treated every day
by the massage method and with elec-
tricity. repeated currents of which are
passed through the oss.fed portions Of
his hody.
The chief internal remedy given him
is bichloridc of gold, the cost of which is
about 81 80 Il single dose. He is prob
ably the most expensive patient ever
treated IN the charity department OF the
rity of New York.
For many years Palmer was a sufferer
from rheumatism and drank heavily.
-Four months ago his extremities began
to ossify. At first he noticed slight
stiffening of his joints. The disease
made rapid progress. and in few weeks
he was unable to walk. The limbs that
have become hardened are as firm and
white as marble. They are as stiff as iron
bars. They might be cut, sawed or burn
ed without his suffering any pain.

mizzen went, carrying all with it, and the
last hope of saving the ship vanished
For the drowning men and women there
seemed only death ahead. The huge
waves were battering the ships frag-
ments against the reef. and land was 8
mile away.

some cans of herring and got from them
the strength to make our way to a cave

For three weeks the surviving men led
an existence of increasing torture. The
only wonder is that they did not die. Oc-
casional rain gave them their only relief,
and they grew so thin from lack of food
that they were literally masses of bones.
On May 81 they found n gully of water,
and the next day, somewhat revived,
Mitchell and Simpson started out to make
their way along the coast, leaving Kirk
patrick too helpless to move from sick
ness and exhaustion. In Il day or two
the two brave scouts came upon Cape
Berda lighthouse. There was no one to
help them, but they had no strength to
go farther. So they slept within its shell
ter and subsisted upon such food as they
could find until they were rescued by
chance last week. The tough, dry grass
thct grew hgre and there in little clumps
near the lighthouse was devoured eager
ly by the famished men. Horrible as it
seems. they were glad to seize for food
the dead penguins which they found there
or the bits of shellhsh, long washed
ashore This wretched sustenance, how
ever, was almost worse than none, and
the men could barely have lived another
day had they not been found and cared
for.

Ill luck pursued the ship from the
start, says a correspondent of the New
York World. Storms alternated with
appalling seasons of fog and were fol-
lowed by leakages and train of mis-
haps. When Kangaroo island was sight
ed the ships people set up shout of
joy. Had the island been sighted a few
hours sooner the wreck could have been
avoided. The lack of lighthouse was
the chief cause of the disaster.
