GAME RECORDS BROKEN.
Over 5000 Deer Killed. This Season-Biq
Hide Seizure at Bangor.

The records for game shipments for
the season up to Wednesday afternoon.
show great increase over all previous
more than 5000 deer have been brought
out for transportation over the rail
roads and between 100 and $40 moose
The game wardens stationed at Ban
gor made one of the biggest seizures
on record, Wednesday forenoon. when
they stopped a shipment Of more than
100 deerskins which were in a Bangor
& Aroostook freight car bound for
Boston; the skins We're shipped by c.
L. Robinson of Crystal. a station on
the B. & A, and We're consigned to 4
Boston firm.
Robinson holds a license. issued by
the commissioners, which authorize
him to deal in skins, but this allows
him to deal in hides which have been
lawfully taken. The wardens are sus-
picious that so many could be procured
within a few weeks and are Of the
opinion that de-hunting has been go
ing on in the northern game region.
Warden Nichols in speaking of the
seizure expressed himself as being of

buying skins regardless of the sellers;
and that consequently he must have
purchased some which were secured
illegally. The whole lot will be held
here until the commissioners are con
suited and an investigation held.
The capture of the skins was another
evidence of the sharp lookout which
the wardens keep over the game in
terests. for had not unusual vigilance
been exercised the skins would have
gone through without any trouble

ALASKAN FISHERMEN.
Wonderful Results Achieved by Using
Simple Apparatus.

Wonderful Results Achieved By Using
Simple Apparatus.
With his homemade fishing tackle,
one native Alaskan can capture more
fish in day than can any three white
men with their latest improved nipple
ments. The Alaskan Indian shows his
intelligence by clinging TO his own i'm
plements and tools, and at the same
time in quietly adapting himself to the
greatly altered conditions OF his en-
yironment. He will adopt certain of
our customs and utensils, but refuses
to adopt many others. While he will
always give you the most superstitious
reasons for clinging TO his own time
honored tools, he is quick to decide
that the spirits wish him to make use
of any new idea which will be an &C
tual benefit under existing conditions.
These Indians use the same fishing
tackle that Boring found them using
In his explorations Of 17i1. and which
George Vancouver found during his
first visit among them as a midship-
mite under the famous Capt. Cook a
few years later. Fish are abundant.
Alaskan homes are always near some
excellent fishing grounds A village is
often situated in certain location
simply to be near good halibut banks
Hooks used in fishing for halibut are
usually made of fork of spruce root,
to which an iron barb, which some
times takes the place OF the one Of
bone used in the primitive hook. All
bait is secured to the hook by means
of a small cedar cord, which is neatly
dashed amout the hook when it Is not
in use. Halibut feed near the bottom
of the sea. The Indian has a method,
as ingenious as it is rude, TO keep his
bait where it will be most tempting.
He will tie stone few feet above
the hook on his line with a slip-loop,
which the halibut. in trying to get
away, will twitch out releasing the
stone and giving the Indian warning
that he can draw up his so or 1CC-
pound halibut without the additional
weight of the stone. Between the
hook and the stone sinker is a wooden
float whitfield in the shape of a duck,
which. in seeking to rise from the sur
face. draws the hook up the proper
distance from the bottom.-Pittsburg

SOME GREAT EXPLOSIONS
Seven Tons OF Powder Dislodged 20O,-
OCO Tons of Rock.

Oco Tons of Rock.
Among the many incidents which
are on record one Of the most nota-
Bile is that of the explosion of ffty-five
tons OF blasting gelatin which was
being unloaded from a railway train
at BraamfOntein, 500 yards west Of Jo-
hannesburg. in South Africa, on Feb.
19, 1896, and which was exploded by
an end-on collision, says Casters
Magazine. The result OF the explo-
sion OF this enormous quantity of one
of the most powerful explosives used
was to produce a crater 80 feet long,
Go feet wide and 80 feet deep in soft
earth as weighing 100 pounds. the SUI
perficial explosion Of this fifty-fve tons
OF explosive gelatin excavated about
10000 tons of soft earth. Besides this
there was a total destruction Of $50
yards, while from this distance to sixty
yards all the buildings were shattered
and the roofs were battered in up TO
about 1000 yards. But all these build
ings were built chiefly Of corrugated
iron and mud, and, therefore, were OF
most unsubstantial character. On
the other hand We have in the United
States the blowing up Of the Hudson
river palisades at Fort Lee in 1893,
when the explosion Of two tons Of dy-
Mantle. placed in chamber in the
rock, brought down 100000 tons OF
rock; the blasting at the Dinorwic
Quarries. Lamberis, IN the same year,
when two and a half tons Of gelatin
dynamite, placed in chambers in the
dixie, overthrow 100000 tone of rock;
and at the destruction Of the famous
Talcen Mawr, in 1895, when seven
tons of powder, poured into two shafts.
diSlodged mass Of rock computed to
weigh from $4,000 to 2000 tons.
From this We find that the dynamite
OF the interior at Fort Lee was over
forty times as efficient as the explosive
gelatin on the surface at Johannes
burg, while the powder al Talcen
Mawr was over fortytwo times as eff
cient. It is. hence not surprising that
the superficial explosion of the 300
pound charges of gun cotton thrown
by the Vesuvius' guns at Santiago dur
ing the late war between the United
States and Spain produced no serious
structural damage, and simply har-
assed the enemy by their frightful
reports. which occurred at infrequent
intervals and unexpected times
