DEER JAcK1Ne WITH A TUG.
Unique Chance That Came to a
Maine Lad Who Was Ont for seals.

(From the New York SUM-
Bangor, Me-, Dec 22.-so far as is
| known, the first instance on record of a
deer being lacked by an ocean going tug
boat happened on the last day of open
| time this year on the shore of Fort Poin:
Cove, at the mouth of the Penobscot Riv-
! er. The cove is 4 general exchange for
| shipping bound up or ont OF the river.
| 1t is here that the ocean, tugs drop their
tows for the river boats 30 take to Ban
gor. ard here they come for the Ice
| barges ready for sea. The country in the
vicinity of the cove is sparsely settled,
and on the western side begins the vast
range OF forests which extend for miles
across Hancock and Washington counties.
Deer are plentiful farther back, but are
rarely seen near the shSre.
It was Lot for deer that young judi
son Perkins loaded up his fathers old
musket with a handful of slugs and went
down to the shore after school. II was a
seal upon which Judson had intentions.
The small river or bay seals are plenti-
full in the cove. and are a great pest 10
the fishermen in robbing their nets and
weirs OF the choicest of the catch. A
boy is considered to have won his spurs
when he has shot a seal. for its shynes

ptHeu that JuuSOu WAS uoWu OE tue SHOTt
with a gun that afternoon. After waiting
and watching in vain for his quarry, lie
started for home in the darkness.
He was only few steps from the shore
when big tug shot in by the point and
played her searchlight upon the fleet Of
schooners and barges at anchor there.
Then the big ray searched along the
shore until it caught Judson full in the
face
Turning about to avoid the binding ray
he looked toward the woods ard saw a
sight which rooted him to the spot for an
instant. There in the path of the big
white ray. with head and antlers above
small bush. stood the finest buck deer seen
in those parts for years.

trils. trembling. Judson quickly recovered
his wits raised his gun and fired. At that
moment the light went out but at the re-
port. back 1t came and flckered back and
forth like a dog looking for lost scent.
Had the men on the boat been little near
er they might have seen a boy standing
over z big deer and gazing at Ii as IL he
could hardly believe his senses. AS soon
dead he ran to the house fast as his
legs could carry him. but had desperate
work TO make the hired man understand

Judson is probably the only hunter in

vacuums In Electric Light Bulbs.

tffOm lhc NeN 1oIk sum-
A new method has been invented for producing
high vacuuns in the bulbs of incandescent lamps
In the usual process Of manufacture the lamps are
first exhausted TO a fair with a pump
and then a small quantity of gasolene or other
hydrocarbun yapor is introduced and the hlainent
is heated red hot by electric current for 4 few
minutes. both to drive out gases that it may con-
tain within itself and to deposit uniform coat
ing Of hard carbon upon il by the decomposition
of the vapors. The lamp is then pumped out
In the new process after the flashing. it is
called. of the fament. a determinate volume Of
phosphine gas is admitted to the bulb and this
acts mechanically as a vehicle for assisting in the
exhaust of the residual gases and sets up u
mechanical reaction with either oxygen hydro
carbon vapors that may be present, removing
them very enectually from the bulb. The me
chanical pump is all that is necessary in this
process, and IL is declared that it has resulted
in an increase OF 30 per cent output OF lamps

The Cable to Cape Nome.

IflOln the New 1Orh NUH-J
The laying Of a cable between Cape Nome and
Unalaklik and st. Michael in Alaska this summer
was interesting in many ways. 1t was the first
deep sea cable Of American manufacture to be laid
anywhere and the weather conditions obtaining
on the Alaskan coast, in summer, are such
as to render cable laying operations very pre-
cacious The ship in which the cable was coiled
was wrecked within sight of its starting place
after landing the shore end OF the cable and with
Characteristic American promptness in an emer-
gency the cable was pulled out OF the hold by
hand coiied up-some 1s1 miles Of ft-on the
deck of big scow and this towed by
paddle wheel steamboat from st. Michael over
the course with the cable trailing out behind as
hest il might. Despite all these obstacles the

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

over the holidays were liberal, 2,119, 600
bushels. Clearances were fair, ,064 600
bushels There was nothing done in the
cash business here.
The corn market opened easier on he
large receipts, 1850 cars. which induced
liberal local selling of May. Receiving
houses were also fair sellers. Scattered

hog market gave some strength 10 the

, Turntnble for Trolley Cars.

l7FT1'F
A turntable for trolley cars has been patented
by an Ohio inventor. 1t is arranged that when
the car is driven on it the front wheels rest
,Ipon two rollers coming up through the track
and by gently starting the motors, these reyolve
under the car and communicate their motion
through proper gearing to the turntable itself
and thus the ear is turned around by its own
power. the trolley swivelling ON its base and
staying on the wire. The of the ear do not
have to descend from il, and IL is asserted that
the apparatus works very quickly and successfully
in practice.

The break in the market fails to ap-
pear. People who have been predicting
q tumble for many weeks, from week to

might think over the dizzy heights to
which prices have advanced. The high

After such tremendous squirt it is al
ways probable that decline will come
at any time on profit taking, and there
fore even the most enthusiastic bulls do
not believe that such break can be
avoided much longer. Yesterdays mar
ket, however, showed immense buying,
and the way in which the heavy realizing
sales were absorbed was most encourag-
ing. 1t seems entirely possible that the
tendency may be upward during the re-
mainder of the year, and that 1901 may
open with the highest prices on record.
Sales yesterday again far exceeded a

Capt. Mckenzie says that the chrome ore mines were dis covered only three years, ago. They are now worked bY British and Ameri- can capitalists.

The mines from which this ore is taken are situated on the tops of cliffs rising 800 feet above the level of the sea, and Capt Mckenzie had to work his vessel in and anchor her under these cliffs on a shoal area con- taining six fathoms of water. The method of loading is primitive, the ore being conveyed down. the mountafn side in small wagons drawn by power-l full horses. From the. shore It. fs brought out in boats Capt.
