FATAL DIVE.
Taken by SOmnambulist Who Saw the
Sea in His Dream.

Perhaps the most extraordinary ia.
tally ever recorded as arising out of
'omnambulism was inquired into by the
coroner at st. Ives, Cornwall, August 81.
The victim was pleasant and pop.
'ar lad OF 10 named John Summers, who.
with his brother, Gerald, and his father
Mr.. John Summers, an ironmakcr of In,
glewood, Cheshire, had been staying for
three weeks at the Porthminstcr hotel
st. Ives,
During the visit "Jack," as his brother
nalled him, had done much diving into
the sea, and this undoubtedly had made
such an impression on him that it revived
the hapit of slcepwalking, which he had
formed in his childhood.
1t was dramatic story which Gerald
Summers told to the coroner's Jury. ''We
occupied separate beds in the same room
about 70 or so feet from the ground"
he said, ''and retired as usual on Sunday
evening.
Suddenly, about 2 o'clock in the morn.

bed, called to him. I got no reply, and

his figure outside the parapet with his
hands UP and his head and shoulders
inclined as if he were taking a header

the thud on THE ground"
He alarmed the hotel people, and the
roor fellow was picked up, suffering from
severe conclusion of the brain, a broken
jaw and other severe injuries. He never
woke from his fatal sleep, but died at
! o'clock on Monday morning. On the
soft grass of the lawn was plainly visible
the mark which was made by his head.
Mr.. John Summers said that his son
had perhaps become overexciated by his
daily diving, When he was years old
he was addicted to a mild form of sleep.

it to happen since. Gerald added that
he knew his brother had been dreaming
about diving.-London Mail.

but it will pay much better than wages" said Mr. Hall. Here and there spots have been found, notably on Tom Dugan's claim, which are rich, and pans have been found running as high as two dollars. But these rich spots are the exception, not the rule. The depth to bedrock is from 9 to "A feet. The gold is fine, being typical beach gold, and in saving it quicksilver must be used. A few drawers are at work, but for the most part the miners are either picking or burning to bed rock, or both.
 Most of the miners are either taking out dumps or are prospecting prepara- tory to doing so, and they are finding good prospects as their work progresses, and thus they are encouraged to go ahead. By January l, two-thirds of out dumps.
 ''It is not big proposition, said Mr. Hall, but good wages may be made. 7" The ground is frozen for the most part but there are perhaps half-dozen claims where no frost as yet has been encountered.

Arctic Sketches .* A Great Fight

1OO-ton carcass to fill up two bears as large as as the blows were delivered, every whacI sound they were. It was that, no doubt and jealousy.
 Before it was light enough to shoot, Appa To grew excited and without giving the word he fired. The bullet struck one of the large bears a glancng blow the lower jaw nfctng a slight but undoubtedly a very painful wound The bear did not know what had struck him, he put it down to his mate, who feeding close by Enraged past bounds he flew at him, and then the mill began.
 l It was contest without gloves, bare claws |tganst bare claws Both bears first reared up ca their hind legs. There were uppercuts and unlercuts in quick succession left jolts and right jols. and with every jolt and cut there would fly off strps of hair, skin and meat. Blood kept flashing them into fury. No trying to avoid pun iShmalt-it was only to inflict-a ton of most strenllouS muscles pitched against two thousand poundSpf lightning activity, in fight to finish Next they clinched, and, rolling down together they fellwith thud that made the earth shake 1t became rough and tumble, first top and then the other; at times with ends reversed they kept tearing and clawng, biting and chew ing each other without mercy, rolling over and over and dyeng the snow for radius of fifty yards the deepest crimson with blood that seemed to spurt from every part of their bodies Hoarse ly roaring hissng and snarling at each other with fiery breath, they seemed to be treless For hendish ferocity and savagery the fight could not be surpassed. What is the use trying to describe it further? It is a matter of imagination.
 ''Og-la' was all the native boys exclaimed All three of us excited to pitch of frenzy had jumped on top of the wall forming the blind as soon as the fight began, dancing around them like mad men. ''GO to him, Jim !'' ''That was a good one Fitz !'' Gee what a blown' I found ing like thunderclap With enthusiasm thrill ing to my very toes l kept jumping high into the air, yelling like a Comanche The bears never took notice of us They too busy with each other Well matched it must have been with them the supreme moment of long Arctic rivalry
 It was not until their steam started to become exhausted, till their mutual onslaught became weaker and weaker from extreme loss of blood that came to my senses. 'H-n'' said to my self, there two of the finest bealskns I ever saw getting torn into ribbons. l called down the native boys, and first concentrating our fire on one and then on the other we had them both soon stretched out in the snow. It was mercy, too Although one of the hides measured eleven feet and the other eleven feet four inches from tip of the nose to the tal there was not whole skin enough left on both of them to make one of us a decent pair of mitts.-It worth it.

 simmons fight. That was simply coinci
 dence As fight, it was to that Samous
 tistic battle what sixteennch gun is to a toy pistol It was no prize fight; it was for blood. There were no Marquis of Queenshrry rules any other rules about it, but it wts straight and fair fight to finish and for rapidly terceness and savagery it never has had its equal. Money could not buy admission to such figlr If it could the throngs of thousands who went ts witness the Carson fight would dig up all they could scrape together just for d chance to see d contest like it. Such sights only come occasion ally to reward the lonely hunter who pegs away on the outskirts of civilization trying to see things
 The event took place close to Point Barrow, the nOrthernmost lands-end of our great Amer can continent. In the fall of the year there had drifted ashore and stranded, about ten miles east of the Point, enormous whale carcass. With every wind from the east the south the smell from it would float out over the ice pack, audibly notifying the polar bears near and far of it's pres ence. For us it became a dandy shooting place for bears. We had early built ourselves a hunt ing lodge out of snow in it's proximity, and had put up high blinds with regular ports, construct ed out of snow well, within easy shooting dis tance of the carcass, from which we had already popped some thirty polar bears of all sizes before the great fight occurred
 It was in the early days of January, when one of those gentle Arctic zephyrs from the south minded us that there might be some more bear bear shooting at eastern lodge. 1 was sta toned at Point Barrow then. So I, with two na- tive boys, Appa-lo and Arzik parma, betook our selves over there in the late evening hours After a short rest in the lodge we were behind the blind with our guns long before daybreak. At that time of the year there is not much of daybreak at Point Barrow, where the sun stays below for sixty days, just only about apology for one, but it was cold waiting for that little daylight That gentle Arctz zephyr from the south had a fashion of whirling the dust-like into our eyes and under fur hoods down the back of necks, where it would form in regular ridges that made one think where mother might be just then. We could hear bears munchng and going for that carcass, like going for corn, long before could see anything. This helped to keep warm.
 At last it became light enough to distinguish things. There three bears feeding on the carcass, two of them monsters who loomed up through the drifting large as ele phants Evidently there bad blood be- tween these two They kept snarling at each other continuously, like two dogs a mess of bones. It struck me as if both of them were afraid that there not meat enough in that
