BIG BEARS IN ALASKA.
0sAsAs That Are a. Fiercs ~ the
oTlsaly and - Swift a. the
HorDS

DR.. William Lord Smith, OF Worcee
ter and Boston, lately returned from
Kadiak island, on the Alaskan coast,
where he passed several months hunt
ing the big bears Of the island. He
brought home with him She skin of
oO0-pounder, reports Worcester
(Mass.) correspondent Of the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
The Kadiak bear is the largest men,
Der Of the bear family. According to
DR.. Smith, it il not grizzly. although
it closely resembles the silver tip Of the
Rocky mountains. 1t has the grizzly
head. 1t has been reputed TO grow to
enormous size. even to q weight of
2,ooo pounds, but DR.. Smith was un-
able to get evidenceRhat It exceeded
1900 pounds, even in autumn, whom
very fat, ready for its long winter
sleep. The fur, when in its prime, 10
rich brown and very thick. but in the
spring and early summer II = rather
. gray than brown.
The Worcester hunter was accom-
panied by q Boston friend during his
first few weeks on Kadiak. Their first
days hunting brought them . 625-
pound bear. which fell to the rife Of
the Boston man. the two having tossed
. coin for the shot. The only other
bear they got was shot by DR.. Smith
on almost the last day OF his hunting
in the middle Of July, more than two
months after his arrival on the island.
II was about 1890 p. m. which was
dusk in that latitude. Ths doctor and
. native had followed the beast, and
got within 80 feet OF her. She was .
mother with cub along, and wss hsh-
ing In the shallow waters Of . little
river.
The Kadiak bear 10 o Ash eater. and
this particular bear was in clover, for
the dog salmon were running up
stream in water only fe W inches deep.
She reached with her great pa ". armed
with claws more than three inches
long, and with q quick sweep. tossed
the salmon to the shore. where she
killed and ate them.
DR.. Smith believes that the Kadiak
bear almost equals the grizzly in fierce
ness. but he holds that neither bear is
nearly 30 dangerous to hunt a. their
reputation would indicate. Their eye
sight is poor. and they seldom see the
hunter, and. unleas wounded and cor
Iercd, they prefer to run rather than
fight. The Kadiak bear has the speed
Of fast horse. DR.. Sni h LA, hunted
big game in Africa and has iillcd lion,
elephant. and rhinocsros, hunting on
foot. but he has never seen any wild
beast travel with such speed as the
kndiak bear. As for the danger. he
would much prefer 10 shoot kadiak
bear than any OF the big cats, so far
as the risk OF life 10 concerned.

VIRUS AS RAT POISON
Test Of 4 Disease Developed 10 XIII
Oh the Pesto.
0ovsrnnent Marine Hospital O0ssa1
AxpsRinsDts with Culture Of
Bacillus with oFati1yiag
Success.

Since It became known that the bu-
bonic plague was spread by rats, the
question of means Of destroying them
has assumed greater Importance. The
discovery of a perfect rat destroyer
would be Of vast benefit to the pub
lie health. says the New York Sun.
N. ]. Rosenau, director of the hy-
gienic laboratory of the United
States marine hospital service, has
recently investigated new method
for destroying rats by means Of cul-
lures of . certain bacillus. This
method was developed by ]. Danyz.
The virus which no obtained. while
far from being certain means OF
exterminating rats In . particular
place. may be used as ono weapon In
the fight against them.
A culture of . bacillus isolated
from q spontaneous epidemic among
harvest mice was selected, and grown
In bouillon to accustom it 10 an ex-
istence without oxygen. This was 40
complished by growing the culture In
TASKS o. completely filled as possi-
BILE. The TASKS were placed in an
incubator until the culture developed.
and then kept at an ordinary tenn
peraturs until deposit formed and
the bouinon became prefectly clear.
From the TASKS the culture WAS
passed into a collodion sack. which
was kept for from day to day and
q half in the abdominal cavity OF .
rat, then kept anew In ordinary
bouillon and thence again In fasks.
This series of operations was repeat
ed several times. and At the fourth or
fifth repetition a decided increase in
virulencs for mice was noted.
Mice were then replaced in the ex-
periments by young rats month or
six weeks old. Next older rats were
used. Proceeding in this way the cul=
ture was specialized. and Danyz hnai-
" succeeded in rendering II regular
" virulent for gray rats. black rats
and white rats, whereas it was orig,
inally only slightly ylrulent for the
gray rats and entirely ineffective toy
the others.
Or. Rosenau fed lis rats with the
cultures during a course OF various
experiments with the virus. OF these
only ao died. The results seem to de-
pend largely upon the amount OF
culture inges,ed. BY starving the
rats for couple Of days and then
Riying them all they would eat very
positive resul, was obtained, IweR'
.ty-seven rats so fed all died within .
week. II the rats get only a small
amount. however. not only Is the sf-
feet uncertain. but the survivors b.
come immune and can feed upon tho
culture. to their hearts content and
be none the worse tor r.
1, would seem that the virus 10 not
unlike the laying Of chemical poi
son, depending a. 1t does upon the
amount ingestsd. But, while the
chemical poison has the advantage
of not producing an immunity tho
virus has the very decided advantage

MIR. Wallace of the Nevcut

sent i". 10 SEQ case of supposed
smallpox on the Hough place
seven miles west of own. Henry
Cousar, negro, who had been
of working on a railroad, came
home and took what was thought
to he measles, but what has turned
out to be bad case of smallpox.
The darkiss of the psighb borhood
all visited him up to Sunday when
the physicians above named were
called in and pronounced it small,
pox which the negro had.
THE GOVERNOR NOTIFIED.
On. Monday, Sheriff Hunter
wired Gov. Mcswesnsy as follows:
"Two undoubt0d cases of small
pox ii the county, each about
nine miles from town. No coun-
ty board of health. Advise i'm
msdiately what action to prevent
spreading"
Governor HcLreeney answered
as follows:
"l have wired DR.. James Evans
of Florence, S G, As to smallpox
in your county,"
Later DR.. Evans was hoard
from. Drs. Strait and Crawford
are in charge of the case. A
strict quarantine has boon ordered
and every one who has been ex-
posed will be vaccinatsd. DR..
Crawford received about 100 vac.

The head of the lace department in a
great store recently spent her two
weeks vacation in hospital. She
laughed at the idea of being i'll or even
nervous; but she was tired, and for
ten years had not slept in a real bed.
In one apartment house, in order to
keep her room fitted to receive callers,
she slept on sofa that opened in the
middle, and had neither sides nor foot
board. Six out of seven nights the
covers pulled off her feet. At another
place her folding bed fell on her and
nearly killed her, so she traded it for
narrow divan, from which pillows
and blankets slipped off nightly. At
the hospital she finally found a bed
wide enough to sleep in crosswise, a
bed by day as we'll as by night, bed
tuckable, with bolster and counter
pane; and she stayed in it for two
weeks. In countless cases the make
believe bed is the symbol of a sham
and comfortless existence for which
apartment life is largely responsible.

An automobile savings bank is the
latest French novelty. The authorities
of Mezieres, wishing to encourage
thrift among the peasants, have had
it built to specifications. 1t is an elec-
trio motor-car containing four seats,
one for the driver and three in the
rear arranged arounu a small table.
Folding shelves make a convenient
desk for person standing beside the
yenicle. Under the table Is a small
safe. The passengers are two clerks
from the local treasury department
and a cashier. The car travels about
the country. making short stops in the
villages on prearranged days. and re.
ceiving such sums as the citizens or
farmers of the neighborhood may wish
to deposit. So far. however. the inno-
walton nas met little encouragement.
The peasants seem distrustful of the
agility of the bank. and disinclined to
draw out the old stocking from its hid
ing-place under the hearthstone.
