THE BEARS OF KADIAk.
They're Monsters. Big az an OK and
Very Fierce.

Iney re monsters. 1a btE OK and
Very Fierce.
From the Chicago Record.
The biggest bears in the world are to be
found on kadiak Island. in the Gulf of
Alaska. south of the great shoulder of ter
ritory that stretches out into the Pacific
and DIR. Frank Baker of the Smithsonian
Institution has sent EIwood Hofer a we'll
known guide and hunter of the Yellowstone
Park to catch one more of those great
monsters for the National Geological Park.
The kadiak bears of the polar breed,
perfectly white. with long. heavy fur and
at full growth are twice as large as the
ordinary black bear of the Rocky noun
tains. weighing from 2,4OO to 5000 pounds
and standing as high as an ordinary cow
the biggest carniVorOuS animals living. The
tracks they leave in the snow have often
measured fifteen inches long and ten inches
wide. They are very savage and fight des-
perately when attacked. Several have been
killed. and the skins have been brought TO
this country, but no kadak bear was ever
captured alive.
DIR. Carlton H. Bean, the fish expert. VINO
is In charge of the department of fisheries
at the Paris exposition. while making an
exploration of the fishing resources of Ka-
diak Island last year, saw good many Of
these bears, and describes them in graphic
terms. He says that while climbing
rocky hill one day he saw large drove
of them near the coast running about and
playing like many lambs. There must
have been 100 or 300 in the bunch. he says,
and some of them We're enormous.
Elwood Hofer takes with him to KadiaK
a trap which he has used with great sue
cess in catching wild animals in the yell
lowstone. The trap itself weighs about
three tons. and is sent in sections to ka-
diak. where Hofer will take 1t into the in
terror set it up and bait it with honey Il
pig, if the latter can be obtained. Bears
are uncommonly fond of pork, and pig
when imprisoned in a trap makes DEMON
Stration which attracts the attention of
the bears at longer distance than the odor
of the honey. The bear is usually very
shrewd animal but those on the kadiak
are unsophisticated and unfamiliar with the
tricks of the white man, so Hofer thinks
they will walk into his trap without hcsi-
tation. and when they get in there once
there is no possible way for them to get
out. He expects to catch several of the
monsters but prefers the young ones. be-
cause they are more easily acclimated IN a
new country and can be more readily ham
died than those that are full grown. He
expects to have difficulty in getting the AMI
mails away from the island. because there
are no docks or landing places, and
steamer is compelled to anchor out some
distance from the shore, so that the bears
will have to embark in canoes. II the
water is calm he may be able to float them
over to the side of the vessel on a raft and
hoist them to the deck with sling. Hofer
IS a man of ingenuity and great resource.
and the Smithsonian people are quite sure
that he can get kadiak bear down here
if anvbody can.

From the National Druggist.


Some interesting instances of the power
of ammonia Quencher of fires were
given in d recent article. In one instance
says the writer, where fire had origina ed,
probably from spontaneous combustion, in
Il pile containing several tons of cottonseed,
and the interior of which was almost a solid
body of live coal, a half gallon of ammonia
completely smothered the fire In another,
which occurred in Savenay, France, the va
pors of a tank containing fifty gallons of
gasoline caught fire in the linen room of d
laundry. The room was instantly a mass
OF flames. but gallon and d half of am
monia water thrown into it completely and
almost Immediately eXt:nguished the fire.
The ammonia was in glass demijohn in an
apothecary's shop next door to the laundry
and was thrown into the room by the drug
gist as experiment. To his own
words in reporting the circumstance: 1.-The
effect was instantaneous. torrents of black
smoke rolled upward in place of flames. and
in moment every trace of fire was gone.
So completely was the fire eXtinguished
that workmen were enabled to enter the
room almost Immediately. where they found
the iron tank Of gasoline intact"

MONEY TO BURN.
He Burned 1t and stopped a Run ON
the Bank.

From the Detroit Free Press.
"a run on a bank is funny thing" said
the old banker, who was in a reminiscent
mood. They will start without the slight
est cause and you never know when to eN-
pect them 1t may be only a rumor, 1t may
be In the air and the deed is done. Many
good bank has gone to the wall simply be-
cause there was no way to know that
run was in prospect, and there are times
when the soundest bank in the wo1ld could
not stand an unexpected run.
"A number of years ago, when ] was a
young man. was cashier of bank in the
interior of the state. The bank was in
good condition and perfectly sound, and we
did not dream that our credit would be
questioned. But one day a run was started
without warning, and inside OF Two hours
there was a bowling mob around the bank,
and we realized that We mad a serious Sltua-
ton to face.
1T was simply impossible for US to meet
all the demands, but | paid out thu funds
that we had on hand, knowing full well
that 1t was question of only few min
utes when we would be obliged to close.
FINALLY the president of the bank came
to me and said in a low voice:
How much longer can we hold OUT
q" Not over ten minutes l replied, WHIP
ing the beads of perspiration from my brow.
Calmly and deliberately he reached over
to the money case, picked up $40 bill,
and lit it. Then, without a culver # an
eyelid. he produced cigar, bit off the end
and proceeded to light it from the burning
bill.
.'That move saved the bank. The man to
whom at that moment 1 was handing his
balance gasped, and then, showing the
money back, said he would leave it. It was
the turn of the tide. and the run ceased
We didn't even lose the $40 bill, as the
president was careful enough to see that
there was enough left to be redeemed.

Fight for New York.

st. Louis Reb6bli6.
There Would seem to be exception
al encouragement for the vigorous
campaign which is now to be made
IN New York under the direction OF
the democratic national committee.
and in which both Mr. BRYAN and
Mr.. Stevenson will personally partic-
ipate.
The outlook i'll New York is such
that no effort should be spared that
promises to win the thirtv-six cleo
toral votes OF that stated the dem
ocratic ticket. Mark Hanna him
sell is authority for the statement
that New 1ork's vote is doubtful
this year, and that unusually vi@or-
Gus republican campaigning will be
necessary to hold the state in the re-
publican column. The democratic
organization in New York seems To
be effective. Tammany's influence
IN New York city is being strenuousiv
ezerted in Mr.. Bryan's behalf.
David B, Hill, the leader OF the
state democracy, has himself taken
the stump for Bryan.
Under these circumstances the
prosecution OF strong fight in New
York that shall not, however. have
the effect OF weakening the democrat
lc campaign in other doubtful states,
VIII undoubtedly be wise on the part
OF the national democratic organiza-
tlon. The entrance of Mr.. BRYAN
and Mr.. Stevenson into the field
must OF necessity prove a potent fac
tor IN strengthening democratic SEN
timent.
