BEARS ARE GOOD NATuRED.
But When Cornered They Are Very
Combative and Will Fight to
the Last Breath.

The brown or black bear of California
Is the most cowardly animal that roams
the hills. HIS is worse thief than the
northern wolverine and at the same
time better natured than half the farm
dogs the hunter chances upon. A pair
at play will furnish more amusement
than three-ring circus and run like
scared deer If you but show yourself
through the brush-in short, the brown
bear Is the most "amoOsin' cuss" of all.
II approached properly, says the Los
Angeles Times.
But don't be misled into picking fight
with either Of our small bears unless you
are well armed, for the black or the
brown bear-one and the same animal
under variations OF pelage-will fight
ferociously when cornered. You will
come upon them, too, in the most un-
expected places; not even the willful
jacksnipe can beat brown bear in
variability Of moods or choice Of feed
ing ground. Travelling in the mountains
one is apt to come upon Sir Bruin drink
Ing from little wayside stream and the
very next day, having descended into
the foothills, find possibly pair playing
about some poorly guarded sheep camp.
GOOd-natured as Is either of these
smaller bears, which weigh from 400 to
500 pounds apiece, it is best to know
how to hunt them before attempting 1t.
AS with most big game, the best way to
hunt them for sport is alone with re-
liable rifle and a good knife, though
there Is seldom occasion for using the
latter If the hunter keep cool. II one
is hunting for hides or to rid a section
Of undesirable bear neighbors, a we'll
trained little dog Is probably the best
ally. Fox terriers usually are best, as
they are quick, resourceful and brave
to degree. A little dog brought up in
good bear country, where he has
roamed the hills all his life, has had the
best training possible and is prize
to be taken care of.
AS has been said, a black or brown
bear seldom keeps one address long,
but likely most of them just now are
down among the oaks, where the fallen
acorns afford them an easy living
There are possibly good many along
the willow fringes of the larger water
courses, but once let the bear get first
sight of you there and he will make OF
into tangle Of elder scrub. willow un-
derbrush and blackb berry vines, in which
you and your dogs will last about three
minutes.
II bear could be persuaded to play
football he would make the SWEETEST line
bucker ever on a gridiron, Judging by
the way he goes through a tangle Of
underground. and the way bear Of any
species will attend to dog that dares
to follow him alone into such a retreat
IS certainly scandalous.

Unexplained Mystery.

On the estate of Stora Stenby, on Adel-
so, an island in Lake Malar, Sweden.
there stands an old fir tree stump, which
is considered by the natives to be spir-
it tree. Small coins and trinkets are
found in hole in the stump and for
years no one has been known to find the
hole empty. A writer in the Wide
World Magazine says he has been there
three times and has found a few coins
each time. The tree stands far from anv
dwelling and there is no village on the
island. Snow lies deep round the tree
all winter and no footmarks are to be
seen in it and yet one finds the coins
there, apparently without human agen-
cy. No one on the island offers any ex-

picture of the hearts action entirely
practical. Formerly a single X-ray
photograph took from two to four min
utes. Now it can be secured in a Sec

NAL heart Is u strokes to the minute.
Photographic machine on the kinet-

veal also the identical location of the

feasibility Of such photographs
'As it stands now we have only a
single view of the heart, and as the
photograph might be taken during
either contraction or distention we can
never have an accurate view of its
size. consider the idea entirely FEAST

A further possibility of the machine
