ANNA EVA FAY.

There appears to be no lessening of the interest shown in Miss Anna Eva Fay's marvellous exhibitions at POhs large audiences continuing to turn out each evening and to applaud her ex- traordinary exhibitions of second sight Whatever explanation one may ad- vance as to the DlsthOds by which she accompIishes her results, no one has yet been found to gainsay that the results themselves are most extraordl- nary and mystifying- It is generally held that a persons mind is sacred to its pOssessOr and that it is impossible for any other to know just what IS passing therein, and yet Miss Fay does 1t as easily as the proyerbial rolling off a log. And it is an interesting ex- hibition withal. one that keeps every one In pleasant humOr even while the mind Is puzzled to account for the mystery. 1t is the fashion to see Miss Fay at least once during the engage ment. which continues tomorrow and Saturday evenings. with another spe- cia1 matinee for ladies only tomorrow. Popular prices prevail.

BATTLE WITH BEAR.
Remarkable Encounter in the Noun
 tains of Wyoming.
BruIn Dragged Into Camp with . Rope and Finished with Dozen Bullets = The Duel De-
 scribed i'm Detail.

Henry A. Sommers, editor of the EIizabethtown (Ky.) News, who for more than a month has been rough ing it in Wyoming, has had some ex- citing experiences in his search for pig game. The country in which he has chosen to spend his vacation is famous for bears of the black and sil- yer tip variety. More people are killed by these animals than by guns, and during the past 12 years over a dozen hunters have fallen victims to the beasts rage Last June MT. Sommers was an eyewitness to a remarkable battle between a man and a bear, which he describes in letter to his paper:
 .'In going down the mountains on the 22d of June," writes Mir. Som mers, .I saw one of the most wonder fuI fights with bear that has prob ably ever occurred in this part of the country. I witnessed every detail ot the exciting and dangerous conflict between man and beast. The hunter, whom I afterward met, was MT. George Saban, one of the largest sheep owners in the state, and a man who served with great gallantry with the Rough Riders in the war with Spain.
 'sHe saw a bear crossing a range of low hills. He had neither gun nor knife. but with the daring spirit of the frontiersman he started. in pur- suit, hoping to capture the animal with an ordinary rope which hung at the pommeI of his saddle. Ten times he cast that rope with trained hand and arm. Each time it fell with perfect precision over the head of bruIn, but each time the brute, with a movement which seemed almost human, with it's fore paws lifted the rope from around his neck before Saban could tighten the moose. On the eleventh cast the rope struck the bear in his open mouth and before he could get it out the knot was drawn tight at the back of his head. H
 "Then the real battle began. First the bear would drag the horse and then the horse would drag the bear by the rope. Then the bear would make a rush at the rider, and only the finest horsemanship and most agile bron- cho avoided the rush. Time and again as witnessed these rushes thought horse and rider would surely go down before them. I was unarmed, so could not go to his assistance, although he waved for help repeatedly. He told me afterward: T certainly at that

point would have turned the bear loose had you not seen me, but after that my pride was up, and l determined to make the fight to finish
 'sThe battle lasted for more than an hour, gradually man and horse get ting the better of it, and Bruin was finally dragged to Saban's sheep camp, where his herder and camp-mover were. Saban got Winchester rifle and commenced pumping lead into the brute. He was dismounted and had fired four shots, each one entering the head, but still the bear came on. It was intensely exciting. It looked like every minute the bear would he on the man. Saban told me at this j1Acture of the fight why he acted aa he did. I will quote his own language:
 "'I was surprised that I had not killed the bear. I knew with the shots I and the other men had fired that he had 12 balls in him, mostly in the head. waited with my gun to my shoulder as he came on. thought l had one more load in my gun. I let him get within two feet of me, with the barrel of the gun at his open mouth, Wntn L1iC L0 SAoPPOAs there was no load. l had made fatal mistake. I-thought it was all up with me- I turned to run and fell. In an instant I felt the hot breath of the bear in my face.'
 ''It was at this juncture that the oth- CT men got hold of the rope and with one tremendous pull dragged the bear from the prostrate man. In another instant he would have been killed. By this time the whole crowd was de- moralized. The rope had gotten loose and the bear started for the forest. One of the men fired shot which went directly through his heart and he fell dead in his tracks. It was worth going to Wyoming to see. There were 12 balls in that bears head and neck and not one or all of them killed him."

To a woman belongs the honor of having first discovered flowers that
 emit light. This woman was the daughter of Linnaeus, the celebrates Swedish naturalist. One evening, when the aged man and his daughter were walking in their gardens, she called his attention to some nastur- tiums glowing with a faint phosphor- escent light. They removed these to a perfectly dark room and there viewed the ghostly, illuminated flowers for hours, trying to solve the mystery.
 Since that time number of differ ent flowers have been found. to give

storage battery is inside, of course, and wires lead the current from it to the motor. The especial virtue of this arrangement is that the motor is portable, and can be attached to almost any boat having a square stern. It is not necessary to build expressly for the use of electricity. The apparatus can be attached to the boat in few minutes, and re- moved in an equally quick fashion. The batteries are placed under the seats of the boat.
 The motor not only propels the boat, but steers it as well, the boat answering to it more readily than to an ordinary rudder.
 The motor drives the boat forward or backward, and can be. regulated to run at any speed up to four miles an hour, using two boxes of four cells, and will run from 20 to 30 miles on one charge. More cells may be used, and speed of six miles an hour attained, if desired. Each bat tery box containing two cells weighs about 50 pounds, and is provided with comfortable handle for carry ing.

Tailor Bird Is fneenious.

The tailor-bird of India is shrewd and ingenious little fellow. To es- cape falling prey to snakes and mon keys, the tailor-bird picks up dead leaf and flies into high tree, and with fiber for thread and it's bill for needle sews the leaf to green one hanging from the tree, the sides being sewn up, and an opening left at the top. That nest is swinging in the tree no snake or monkey or even a man would suspect.

Practically all boats which are pro- pelled by electric power have the motor, as well as the battery, inside, and long, horizontal shaft, which carries the screw, passes through the stem. An innovation has been made by a western inventor. He incloses the motor in water-tight, globuiar shell, which is combined with the rudder, rudder post and screws in such manner that they all are out side. There is no shaft at all. The

forth light, among them being the corolla of the common sunfower; also species of tagetes, called by the French botanists the "rose d'Inde," and the large and beautiful compound flower called in this country the dahlia.
 Luminous nasturtiums," writes Prof. A. Frederick Collins, "have been frequently observed in Golden Gate park, San Francisco. I observed one evening a number of persons bending over an iron pot full of nasturtiums. Curious to know what the attraction was I fell into line until it became my turn to inspect the flowers at closer range.
 ''I was surprised to see flash of light dart repeatedly from the yellow petals. The next day photographed it.
 "A strange fact regarding the phos- phorescent light emitted by certain flowers, it has been observed, is that those in which the yellow and orange predominate exhibit the greatest amount of light. Prof. Haggern. the naturalist, pronounces the light of electrical origin, declaring that when the pollen bursts electricity is pro- Suced, and light follows"
