NORTH CAROLINA BEAR DOGS
Peculiar Breed of the Animals Raised
by Hunters of Unaka
Mountains.

Mr.. Marshall W. Bell, a young attor-
ney of Cherokee county while in Char
lotte lately told a Charlotte Observer
man an interesting story of breed OF
bear dogs that has been in his section
of the state for decades.
BLACK bears abound in the Unakl
mountains, which form a part of tn ,
Great Smokes, and lie about the Di-
vide between the Tellico river on tde
one side and the Santeetla and Big and
Little Snowbird creeks on the other"
said Mr.. Bell.
Mr.. ]. II. billiard and others killed
seven bears last season, some OF which
weighed close to 500 pounds. This year.
however, bruin seems to have disap-
peared from our country; the chestnu.
crop was a failure. and 1t is generally
believed that the Graham county bears
have migrated TO the Mississippi river
bottoms: old hunters claim that they
do that occasionally whom mast ID
scarce. But this year Is an exception;
we usually have plenty OF bears.
"The Piott bear dog Is q growth; he
has been In the making for many gen.
erations. and is Just about as good as

HAVE IMMENSE INCOMES.
Germany and Great Britain Have
Been Making Large Invest
ments Abroad.

An interesting comparison between
Great Britain and Germany as invest
ors outside their own boundaries is
mdae by Edgar Speyer, the well-known
London banker In a letter to the
Statist. Figures supplied to him by
Prof. Arndt. of Frankfort-on-Main.
show that in recent years Germany
has been making large investments
abroad, and that in comparatively
short time $7,500,000,0OO OF German
money has been invested In foreign se-
curities and industries. Germany's
annual income from this enormous in
vestment is between $3.50, ,OOO. 900 and
1875 900. 10000. Adding TO this the sum
she receives from her shipping commits.
sions. insurance and other sources. her
total yearly income from foreign in
vestments is $500.000 900.
Great Britain's income from similar
sources Is 9OO,000.0OO, but the differ
ence between the incomes OF the two
countries has in recent years been
rapidly narrowing in favor OF Ger
many, because Great Britain has failed
to invest any appreciable amount Of
capital abroad for nearly a decade.
Doubtless the rule that prosperous
people usually become more lavish in
their expenditure will also apply to
Germany" says Mr.. Speyer. "In fact,
there are already signs that the coun.
try is beginning to consume at home a
larger portion OF its growing wealth
III this tendency" he continues, ito
spend more at homo In order to live
in greater comfort develops In Ger
many at the same time that Great
Britain becomes more economical
Great Britain will again invest abroad
the more largely. and Great Britain's
export trade and income from her for
eign investments will grow more rap
idly than Germany's."

OAK TREE OF TWENTY TONS
Immense Undertaking in the Line Of
Transplanting Successfully
Performed.

A large English oak on the Fair
haven estate of II. II. Rogers, the
Standard Oil magnate, has been trans
planted. The transplanting was done
under the direction OF James Garthley,
gardener for Mr.. Rogers, reports the
Boston Globe.
The tree Is 40 feet high, has a spread
of 45 feet. and the diameter OF the
butt Is two feet three inches. The
weight is 20 tons.
Nearly so years ago the late War
rem Delano, returning from England
brought with him some English acorns.
Some of these we're given to John
Sweeney. who planted them in his
yard
one of the resulting trees was trans
planted TO the estate of Edmund Allen,
now owned by Mr.. Rogers. 1t grew
near the west wall surrounding the
grounds. not far from the northwest
corner.
A section of the wall was removed
during the recent change in order that
the roots could be taken out intact.
Deep excavation was not necessary, as
the roots we're found lying on solid
ledge. These we're carefully wrapped
in short hay. The weight was raised
in a manner similar 10 that adopted In
moving buildings. and the tree was
kept in a perpendicular position during
its trip Of several rods.
The tree Is now located in the Gen.
ter of the west lawn In front of the
residence OF Mr.. Rogers.
From other acorns brought from
England by Mr.. Delano there are six
trees growing In the Sweeney lot
south Of Cedar street. and there are O
few in the Delano lot at Riverside
cemetery.

Thrilling Moment.

II was at an English lock that q
diver was working at massive gates.
when a current. caused by the shutting
OF the gates for his inspection, sucked
him of his feet and he felt himself
being drawn between the smooth gates
with nothing at which to grasp. And
with the shutting his air hose and life
line wouid be cut as with knife. But
in flash came an inspiration. As he
was swept through he took his ham
mer and held the iron head between
the closing gates and hung there. He
dared not signal to be drawn up. for
TO tug at him would mean death But
the men above quickly realized that
something was the matter and they
swung The gates open again. and not
till then did they slowly draw the diver
to the surface and to safety.-1echni-
