An Ingenious Bear Trap.

The Mexicans in California had an
ingenious method Of trapping bears
before the advent OF the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
gion. A piece Of meat was nailed 10
the stout horizontal limb Of an oak
tree. From a limb five or siA feet
above rope was suspended, to the
end Of which a large stone was made
fast so that II hung about six Inches
above and a triHe nearer the trunk
than the meat on the lower limb.
When a bear smelt the meat from
afar be would climb up the tree and
make his way 10 the meat In doing
80 he would push the stone pendulum
20 one side. Just as he was about 10
fasten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would rouse the anger of the bear
and he would give the stone a sweep
OF his paw which would send II swing.
ing further out The consequence WAS
n harder bang and more anger The
more he struck the stone the harder
he would be hit In return, until. from
feroclous anger. he would lose his eau.
tion and attack the pendulum with all
his vigOr One powerful sweep. then.
bang. and bruln would be tumbled out
of the tree 10 the rocks below. where,
disabled by bis fall. he would be at
the mercy of those who set the trap
whenever they chose 20 take him.
