UPON A cATARAcT's BRINK.


RCE1CMGC W - ~ 49,
the ottawa River.
The horrible experiences Of one who
has been swept away by some mercl'
less current and finds himself at last
ut the brink Of cataract may possibly
be imagined but there are few VINO
survive to relate to us the particulars OF
such an ordeal. Yet there Is one in
stance where II man was saved at the
very edge of the falls.
There are few more imposing bits OF
scenery in Canada than where the OF
tawa River pours laundering and foam
ing over the Chaudiere Falls. When
the water in the river Is low, as 1t IL
in autumn, there is Il fall of about forty
feet, but when the river Is swollen by
melting SHOWS in the spring the APP
parent depth of the fall is lessened. At
any time the rush and swirl OF the
great river over this ledge Of rock Is u
sight worth seeing.
In some places the water poYrs over
in dense and Irresistible volume, while
at other points shallow stream will
spray itself over Il higher table of rock.
On the upper Ottawa are f1oated
booms of logs which feed the large
lumber Industries of that region Han
ding these wet logs is treacherous
business, and it is easy to lose ones
foothold and fall into the swift stream.
Accidents of this kind occur frequent
ly. The only case that did not have
fatal termination is the one referred to
here.
The man was busy forklng these logs
with those sharp tongs used to swing
them about and draw them In, when
he missed his footing and fell into the
river. Though strong swimmer, he
could not withstand the current anu
was swept out into the stream and on
toward the falls. Nearing the falls, he
found himself still conscious, and 1t
happened that he was being f1oated
over one Of those tables Of rock where
the water was so shallow that he felt
himself touch. He struggled to regain
his feet, and was successful In so do
ing, so that he found himself standing
in, perhaps. foot Of rushing water, at
the brink of the cataract great cur
rent surging by him on every hand.
But it seemed hopeless. He saw no
way Of getting to shore. and no one
from the shore could get to him. Many
people on the banks of the river were
watching him and trying to study out
some plan to save him. Finally large
derrick was brought to bear, such as -
used in building operations. A great
arm with ropes was swung out over
the current, and when the man had
fastened himself securely with the
ropes he was raised up high and swung
in. lust as a large stone would be raised
in constructing building.

When she turned a pretty smile
Toward my corner. aud the while

And although passed my street.

died later. The two remaining MEM
beers OF the band surrendered ana were
taken into Custer by Hans. The men
he killed were known as Texas, Fleet
Foot and Mountain Pete. The other
two, Long Tom and Skinny, were sent
to the penitentiary for life.
From his experience he believes tii't
train robbing has been made so dah-
gerous for the robbers of late that II IS
losing its popularity and Will totally
disappear in few years. Nowadays II
is not the act of robbing Il train that
requires the greatest exhibition OF skill
and daring, but rather the escape alter
the crime has been committed. III roD-
bling a train the band stands little
chance of opposition. Passengers are
as Il rule unarmed and the express mes
sengers are not in Il position to make
much of a fight. The use of dynamic
by road agents is terrifying element
for express messengers. Inc minute
the bandits start to make their escape
however, they come in contact WIN
fighting men who are as well armed ai"
well mounted as they, and know now 10
use their guns. This Is the element OF
danger that deters many bandits from
attacking Il railroad train.
Preparing for II Hol1'Up.
When a gang contemplates holu-up
now the first thing they do Is 70 ar
range for their escape. A route OF re-
treat is selected and the bandits go
over the trail SO that they can FOLLOW
it night or day. They frequently Sc
crete food for themselves and horses
along the route and lay in plenty or
ammunition. The Black Hills ana the
country in Southern Wyoming are ia
yorite resorts for train robbers these
days. Here most Of the desperate ROAD
agents live. They must have the best
horses money will buy, they must get
a city crook as rule to handle the dy-
Mantle. they must have white powder
for their guns In the event of COLI
sion with a posse. which Is quite GER
tain, and thousand little details. The
minute the news Of a holdup Is flashed
over the wire, posse from dozen
different points Is started. These close
in on the robbers. The road agents are
afraid to split up in the face OF pos
sible fight. They know they Will DE
killed one mt time il they do not STICK
| together. That is their only chance'
and, of course, it makes the trail easier
| to follow. The bandits are of the most
desperate class of men. They Know
that sooner or later they will die with
boots on. Most Of them are wanted FOR
some crime that would keep them IN the
penitentiary for life anyway, II not
carry them to the scaffold. Under
these conditions they will not surren-
der. Their only chance Of freedom Is
to fight and they will fight to the death.
TO deal with such characters may be
exciting, but the great majority OF peo-
pie will not envy the position OF Fred
erick Hans.

Lac occurs in its natural state In varl-
GUS parts of the forests OF Assam, as
we'll as of Burma, but chiefly In parts
of the Khasi and Caro- hills, and the
exDOrt in recent years has averaged
10000 maunds, or something over 5OO
tons. but in some of the forests. owing
to the ravages of the KOlaazar cpl
demic and depopula ton, the production
is declining. The production in Mani
pur is not sufficient for the local needs.
and quantities of the lac are sent there
from the Kubo valley of Assam. The
lac is all sent away from Assam IN the
crude form, or stick lac; shell and but
toli lac are made, to some extent, but
lac dye is not now prepared in Assam,
and lacquer wares are only produced
in two places, SO that this once cOnsid-
cradle industry would seem to be dying
out, The black lacquer of Manipur Is
really not lac preparation at all. but
only the juice of a tree sent from the
Kubo valley.
In Assam the lac is usually collected
twice year, first in May and June,
and then in October and November.
The first is mainly used for seed pur-
poses, while the second forms the en-
port. A few days after the collection
pieces Of stick lac containing living
insects are tied on to the branches Of
the trees in which the next crop is to be
grown. The usual plan is to place the
lac in small bamboo baskets and tie
these to the twigs Of the trees. The in
sects soon crawl out and spread over
the young branches, on which they
promptly begin TO feed and secrete the
resin. This is allowed to 90 on for
about six months, when the lac Is COL
lected; but If the secretion has been
defective or insufficient, the insects re-
main undisturbed for another six
months.-LOndOn Mail.

undoubtedly due to. their fear Of the
man who is the head Of the force Of
bandit hunters the company employs.
Frederick Hans is mild hammered
fellow with blue eyes and of most AHA
BILE address. AS he saunters along the
streets of Omaha he Is about the last
man in the world one would pick out
for desperate work with rifle and re-
volver. Yet this same pleasant fellow

his business to locate all these charac-
