equally wonderful have been accom-.

varieties in red, black. brown and

POLAR BEARS EASILY TAKEN.
With the Modern Repeating Rias the
Great Animals Are Killed i
Without Danger. ssssN

The animal par excellence, which
the hunter, the amateur Arctic trav-
eler and the young explorer. hopes
and dreams Of killing, is the polar
bear, writes Com. Robert f. Peary,
in Leslie's Monthly. The reason for
this is the ~nagnifcent trophy which
the great white skin makes. This
feeling was no less strong centuries
ago than it is now, for we read that
one of the early Icelandic sea rovers
to Greenland quarreled with and
killed his bosom companion because
he had slain a large bear, instead OF
leaving that honor to his chief. With.
the modern repeating rife the bear
stands no chance against the hunter,
no matter under what conditions they
may meet, and If he is hunted in the
native way, with the assistance of
dogs, there is hardly more excite
ment than in killing m~usk-oxen. ex-
cept for the wild, helter-skelter dash
over the ice to oyertake the animal
after the dogs strike the hot scent.

MOUNTAIN PEAK MAY FALL.
Tourists Are In Great Danger from
Threatening Mountain TOP
. In tho Alps.

Although it has been rumored
throughout the Alpine region for
some time that the Altels-the great
mountain peak which rears itself high
above the famous Gemmi pass-was in
a more or less shaky condition, no n
expected to hear that there was any
danger of its falling. Now, however,
it is definitely stated that the Altels
is on the point of splitting in two and
may come laundering down almost
any time, says a report from Neu-
chatel, Switzerland.
Damage enough will be done if the
famous peak does fall in any case, but
it is to be hoped that the crash will
come before the next tourist season
begins, for the Gemmi, above which
the Altels towers, is used to a greater
extent than any other Alpine pass.
The inhabitant of the region can inn
agine what will be the result if the
Altels should come crashing down,
having experienced such an occur
II on a smaller scale when glaciers
from this particular peak have de-
scended upon them. The last one fell
in September, 1898, and many peas
ants were killed. y

The representatives Of Japan who

the fear OF detection will prevent the

used. 1t is suggested that a machine

SEEK A LOST SHIPS GOLD.
American AdvsatursFs ON q HaaAHA-
o. 0aast on New ZeAland's
Coast. n-

An American schooner lately ar
rived in New Zealand with a party
who propose to search for long-lost
treasure. Nearly 40 years have passed
since the ship General Grant left Aus
tralia for London with a cargo Of gold
and wool. At one Of the Auckland is
lands, ear New Zealand, she met with
Il frightful fate. She was sucked into
a sort OF colossal cave, but it is possible
she might have got II il a huge wave
had not lifted her so high that the
masts, striking the roof. were driven
through her bottom. Through the
openings thus made the water rushed
in and she speedily sank. Only one
sailor and two children were saved.
After some months on the island
they were picked up by passing
steamer and taken to New Zealand.
Several attempts have been made to
recover the large quantity Of gold
that wen down in the General Grant,
but they were all failures. 1t remains
to be seen whether the American ad-
venturers will be more successful. If
they should recover the gold is it their
property? That seems . nice legal
point.

SEA SCOUTS.
"a b. Naval Powers to Thsir
Advantage.

As military motor-bicycles have al
ready proved themselves to be of
value in scouting, it is probable that
in nearly every civilized country they
will be largely used in future land
warfare. Why, if the fast land scout
prove sc useful, should not the navy
adopt the same methods? A boat, 60
feet long, with two 25-horse power
engines, built very light, to carry, say,
four persons and to be capable of con-
siderable speed, would be a most USE
full addition to a battleship of a fleet,
says the London Star. The ordinary
torpedo boat is too long and draws too
much water for scouting nea shore or
in shallow water, but a launch might
be made to draw less than three feet
Of water, and yet have a speed Of up
wards of 80 knots. There would be no
tunnels or smoke to attract the notice
Of the enemy, and with underwater
exhaust the boat might be made al
most silent. If built low in the water,
or with the power of semi-submersion,
it would be difficult to hit. Probably
such q craft would be more useful
than anything yet invented in the way
OF d scout for sea purposes.

Fish a.

"Along the Caribbean sea-" said an
artist who has recently returned from
those parts, ut is a common thing 70
see men and women and children sit
ting on the banks of streams with
their bare legs soaking in the water.
They have a strange reason for this
strange conduct. They are much
troubled by a little insect-a kind of
tick-which buries itself in their flesh,
and is very hard to dislodge: and so.
when the ticks have got i'll them they
go to the water, bury the infected
parts beneath the surface and keep
quite still. The fish have a fondness
for ticks, and they hasten to the
cleaning human flesh they see, and,
pulling the ticks out, devour them. In
that name II the Caribs fish are
called upon to act as surgeons. Eth
cient and painless surgeons they
make. too"

says Tit-Bits. The victim is seated in

Nothing is allowed to tohch the face
that has not been either sterilized or
disinfected antiseptically. Even the

foot, and the drawers where towels
are kept are microbe-proof.
