knows how much the ambitious park
commissioners paid to add grizzly to
the park menageries. The commits
sioners were inclined to be extrava-

wanted grizzly, and grizzlies are hard
to get. What many persons claim to
know quite definitely, however, is that
this bear is not grizzly. AS the story
goes, this animal was once common
black bear, or "buzzard," a worthless,
cowardly, ill-esteemed scavenger that,
according to the hunter who captured
him, had not the right to live. So he
tried to get up a fight between the
bear and the dog AS this was inter-
Tered with. the hunter permitted a
dippant minded barber who claimed to
have effectual hair dyes to try his hand
at the bear. Well fortified with whis-
ky, the barber undertook to bleach
the bear. The result was wonderful.
From greasy black he was transform
ed to a reddish brown. Before the
color had been tempered with the

dined" bear In the world.-New York

All last summer and during the early
fall the attention Of passengers or the
Black Diamond express was called to
a hawk which every day flew along by
the train rushing through Lehigh val
ley on its approach to Mauch Chunk.
The train crew said the bird was rae
ing, and bets were always pending on
which would reach certain point
first The hawk never won, but re-
newed the contest daily, and, as
though acknowledging defeat, would
mount into the air and swirl round for
the backward flight. One day, a few
weeks ago, 1t flew on with the train.
as usual, when suddenly 1t was seen
to halt and CULVER, then fall. 1t was
found soon afterward shot through the
head by some wanton huntsman. All
the train hands mourn this bird as
though 1t were a personal loss.

FLASH-SICHTINC GLASSES.

| Professor Lascelles- Scotts Method of
Locating smokeless Field Artillery.
The difficulty of locating smokeless
powder rifles has made the detection
If the flash question of prime impor-
iance. As our readers know, the
government has made some interest
ng experiments with different colored
glasses for that purpose. Professor
W. Lascelles-S Scott, an English chem
st, explains how to prepare ordi-
nary glasses for sighting the flash.
Except at night time, the flash of the
explosion is practically invisible at the
usual distances. the pale mauve-
tinted fame of each discharge being
efrectually stopped or masked by the
yellow color of sunshine or ordinary
daylight. The fame-color itself is
chiefly due to the presence of the
metal potassium in the powder, and is
most powerfully exhibited when pi-
crate of potassium or nitrated gun
cotton (pyroxiline or trinitrocellulose
subsequently treated with solution
of nitrate of potassium. e., nitre
Or saltpetre) is an ingredient in the
powder.
The professor points out that such
explosion flames can be readily seen if
care be taken to cut off all light pro-
ceeding from the red and yellow rays
of the solar spectrum land especially
those of or near the so-called d line
of the sodium famel. This can be
accomplished by looking through a
piece of blue glass or certain shade.
The blue glass of commerce is of two
kinds, but only one of them-viz.,
that colored by oxide of cobalt-is of
any practical utility for flash sighting.
1t is of beautiful violet tint q
disk of it hung in front of good
field glass will enable a smokeless
flash to be easily located at the longest
ranges yet employed. Most of the
blue bottles in which poisonous prep
arations are put up by druggists are
made of the cheaper kind of glass,
which is of little use; but sometimes
clear cobalt colored bottle can be
met with in dispensary, and broken
piece of one might thus come in
handy With solution of Hofmann' g
violet it is easy to color thin sheet
of gelatine OF mica. A better plan is
to take out the front combination
lenses of the field glass and paint the
posterior surface with the transpare nt
dye, and then replace it. The instru-
ment will show the invisible flash Of
a potassium flame perfectly without
the trouble of adjusting separate
piece of cobalt glass, and, being inside
the film of color, it is not liable to be
wiped off when busting the exterior
before using it.-Army and Navy

CHOCOLATE IN MANILA.
How Il IL Prepared for Use In the
Presence of the Purchaser


Presence of tho Purchaser
In Manila they make your chocolate
while you walt. Right into the house
4 Chinaman comes with his basket and
rolls the crushed cacao bean and sugar,
and then makes supply Of chocolate
that is sweeter and more palatable and
cheaper than the commercial brand
sold in the Chicago stores. When the
Chinaman comes he lays aside his hat
and shirt, and, stripped to the waist
and barefooted, he begins his work. In
the basket is the chocolate or cocao
bean, from which the rancid oil has
been extracted and which oil long ago
has anointed the hair Of some Filipino
belle or lighted some Filipino home.
The beans first come on the board Bit
ter and brackish. With rolling pin
the Chinaman grinds them into fine
powder. This takes time. When 1t is
done, he opens another basket and dips
out the sugar for the sweetening and
the final mixture. The sugar is what
would probably grade coffee &c" II 1t
were in commercial circles. Like the
bean, it grows on the island. Industri-
ously the Chinaman rubs, and gradu-
ally the chocolate forms on the bottom
Of the board and drips Off in sticky

family gathers about to sample the
product and the Chinaman stops to

gather about, and If there is an older
daughter, perhaps she sits down on
the floor In front of the Chinaman and
watches the growing pile. Such was
the case in the house of a Spaniard

sat there and idly watched the manu-
facturer of the edible, and when lit
