We heard the brushwood cracking
before the passage of some heavy ami
NAL. and without word we levelled
our weapons and waited, says writer
in Blackwoods We saw advancing to-
ward us an enormo us bear, whose great
eyes cleaned savaEely in the pale light
as he came near. Now he was within
twenty yardss OF where we stood, and
as his huge forelegs paved the air
clumsily in his endeavor to climb over
a fallen tree, his white breast was fully
exposed in the moonlight Let him
have the buckshot, Stewart" l whis-
pered, and the report Of his gun rever-
berated through the wooded slopes.
This was followed by a savage roar
from the bear, and, stepping clear OF
the smoke, could see Bruin, the blood
streaming from his head and the great
tongue lolling out, staggering wildly
forward. His head has been too tough,
Stewart; I'll need to spoil him, after
ALL" / said, regretfully, and / pulled
the trigger of my rife and sent soft
point bullet right into the great yawn-
ing mouth, scarce a dozen yards away.
The sharp crack of my rifle was fol-
lowed by no smoke, and l threw the
lever open and was ready for another
shot; but it was unnecessary, the great
bear lay dead on the snow, fast STAIN
ing its white surface with his blood.
We went forward to examine him, and
found that two of Stewards pellets had
penetrated his eyes, while the rest had
had little effect on his sloping fore
head My bullet had entered his mouth,
and large hole in the back of the
skull showed where that deadly dunn

BREADTH OF LIGHTNING
How Flash Makes Case Its Ex'
act Size.

How a Flash Makes a Case Its Ex-
act Size.
Did you ever see the diameter of a
lightning fash measured?" asked a
geologist. "Well, here is the case which
once enclosed fash of lightning, fit
ting 1T exactly, 80 that you can see just
how big 1t was. This is called full
gurite.' or lightning hole and the ma
terial 1t is made Of is glass. will tell
you how 1t was manufactured, though
ii only took fraction of second to
turn 1t out.
When a bolt of lightning strikes
bed OF sand 1t plunges downward into
the sand for distance less or greater,
Transforming simultaneously into
glass the silica in the material through
which 1t passes. Thus, by its great heat,
1t forms glass tube of precisely its
own size. Now and then such tube
known as 'fulgurite' is found and dug
up. Fulgurites have been followed into
the sand by excavation for nearly thir-
ty feet They vary in interior diameter
from the size OF quill to three inches
or more, according to the bore OF the
flash.
But fulgurites are not alone pro-
duced in sand; they are found also in
solid rock, though very naturally OF
slight depth. and frequently existing
merely as a thin, CLASSY coating on the
surface. Such fulgurites occur in as
tonishing abundance on the summit OF
Little Ararat, in Armenia. The rock Is
soft and so porous that blocks a foot
long can be obtained and perforated In
all directions by little tubes filled with
bottle green glass formed from the
fused rock. There is a small specimen
in the national museum which has the
appearance Of having been bored by
the teredo, and the holes made by the
worm subsequently filled with glass.
Some wonderful fulgurites were
found by Humboldt on the high Nevada
de Toluca, in Mexico. Masses OF the
rock were covered with thin layer OF
green glass. It's peculiar simmer in
the sun led Humboldt to ascend the
precipitous peak at the risk Of his life"

She Wanted Hairpins.

There is story told at the expense OF
David b. Henderson that he cannot out
live. AS everybody knows, free seed
distribution has been his hobby for
many years. He fairly swamped the
farmers of his State with free seeds
from the time he first went to Con-
gress.
One morning Mr.. Henderson received
a postal in his mail written by an Iowa
farmers wife. 1t read
Johns influence can't be got with
fifteen cents worth of free seeds, but
IL you will send me box of hairpins
will look after him. HIS WIFE"
Another postal card called for free
jackknives instead of free seeds. In
that case" said the writer, "radish
seeds would not come up poor turnips.
and the poor Congressman would be
saved much ridicule."

At westtown. Chester County, Pa.
the Friends big school celebrated its
one hundredth anniversary recently.
They have at the school a kind Of
diary, or log, which has been kept up
continuously for loo years, and in
which the state OF the weather every
day during all that time has been noted
down. The log was consulted for an
auspicious date In the matter Of wealth
err for the anniversary, and 1t showed
that every June 10 has been clear since
the beginning of the schools career /.
Then some said: Since ii hasn't
rained for 100 years on June 10 we had
better avoid that date. for 1t will be
sure to rain then this year" But 9TH
ers said that reason and philosophy in
dictated June 10 to be a day devoted,
from some unknown atmospheric caus-
es, to sunshine and blue skies. The lat
ter set OF people carried the day, and
the school celebrated its anniversary
on June 10. But Ii rained so hard that
the guests had to sit around in tents.
