II was while there last week that Mr..
Banta had an experience with a bear
that will furnish food for many a mar

home The Creede Candle tells Of Mr..
Banta's experience in this way:
"Mr. Banta was fishing along the
river, deep In thought Of the last bear
story told at breakfast that morning.

shoulder. He considered himself a
worthy hunter, and wore a badge ten
dered him In consideration Of his cour-
age, and he came 10 the conclusion
that he was just as brave as the peo-
pie considered him. Just then he
heard a noise, n snort, then the bushes
crash, and to his horror a big bear
making toward him. He dropped his
rod and gun and started and the bear
gave chase.
along the river bank they flew and
the big brute was close upon him, as
he could feel her hot breath, and he
thought all was over but the chewing,
and he imagined he could feel the
bears sharp claws and teeth ripping
his very flesh, when suddenly he came
upon a small tree and with a bound he
lit ten feet from the ground into the
branches. At almost the same instant
the bear plunged into the trunk Of the
tree with such force as to break il
down. Banta gave yell and resigned
himself to death. The tree was over
hanging the river and into the water
he and the bear both plunged On ris.

shore, but the bear stopping TO shake
gave Banta considerable start, and he
put for camp like a wild Indian. He

reaching camp he never thought of

Those huge glass bulbs of red and

All that druggists know of them is
that they have been always used as
window ornaments. The brilliant

cheaply and plainly OF chemicals and

Thus, a solution Of copper and am.

ash makes orange; anilipe dyes have OF

In the drug store at the southwest
corner of Broad and Spruce streets
there is show bottle Of very clear
and delicate shade Of green. This is n
green so fine that many druggists have
asked for the recipe that makes II.
This. unfortunately, is unknown.
A clerk in the shop twenty-five years
ago colorcd the water and filed the
bottle, and a little later left for un-
known parts. Preserved only by

has ever since remained as brilliant

was the Dutch bark Geertruida Gerar.
da, bound from Sourabaya TO Newcas-
tie New South Wales, in ballast. On
board were discovered three men-the
carpenter. the sailmaker and n seaman.
1t appears that the Geertruida Gerarda
before leaving SOurabaya ballasted
with volcanic mud. The pitching of
the ship at sea caused the mud TO be-
come more liquefied, and during some
heavy weather ii completely shifted
and the vessel heeled over on its side
The ship was dismasted, and all at
tempts to right here were unavaillng
Ultimately the captain determined TO
abandon her, and with his wife and
sixteen of the crew set off for Java
The carpenter was aboard the boat,
but at the last moment decided TO stick
TO the ship. After ten days the men
aboard were aroused by the screechinp
of a monkey which was aloft, and
which had seen the st. Mary. The
men had Jared well. having provisions
for two years.-Belfast Northern Whig
