Curious FISHES 81 the Bahamas.

is possible to watch the finny Great

face curiously like caricature OF

shouts; grouper, hine, amber Jack
and turbot, whose exquisitely Tilted
skin is dried and used by the natives
as scrubbing brushes, are all there;

Before he had time to notice what
had happened to the bear Lyman had
another surprise. AS he rose from
the ground ne heard great scransb-
ling in the trees, and saw frightened
gray squirrels, black squirrels and
red squirrels scampering among the
branches in all directions. Besides
these he saw three young bears come
sprawling down to the ground out OF
three different trees, look about them
moment with terror in their eyes
and then make break for the deeper
woods as fast as their dumpy legs
would carry them.
Seems like my old gun has woke
up these woods amazin'!" Lyman re-
marked after he recovered his breath,
and then he went home to get help
to get the dead bear in.
The bear was. a female, big and fat.

young bears were her offspring, and

Gus WOKE up THE WOODS.

Bert Lyman drives team for one of
the big tanneries in Warren County,
Pa. He took day off after the hunt
ing season opened and went out to
shoot squirrels.
He saw two gray squirrels run up
a tree. and while he was trying to get
a sight of them he heard noise in
the bushes. Looking in that direc-
ton he was not aslittle surprised to
see a bear coming at him, bristles On
end, and big teeth shining between
its open Jaws.
Lyman hadn't time to run and he
had only No. 6 shot in his gun. He
had two loads of it, though, and he
did the only thing he could think of.
He let the bear have both Of those
loads of No. 6 shot.
Lyman was compelled TO lie down
quickly on his back from the recoiI OF
that double discharge. When ne got

The kalser,s chauffeurs.

"Can you tell me-" asks CORE
spondent, whether the German En-
peror ever drives his own motor
car? I need the information for some
work / am doing, and know I shall
save myself the trouble Of research
by applying to YOU" He is very good.
But we regret to say we cannot an
swer with certainty. On few occa-
sions when we have seen the impe-
rial cars they were driven by pecu-
liarly offensive looking chauffeurs.
The only thing we know about the
Emperor's cars are that working
man, who pleaded that he was drunk
at the time, was sent to the jail for
nine months for putting out his
tongue at one of them as it rushed
by, and that none but members Of
the imperial family are allowed to
have hooter with three notes.
The two foregoing statements, by
the way, are cold facts.-London

TONS or BEET. SUGAR.


q
. One Of the most important oftthe
Industries developed In recent years
is the production of sugar from sugar
beets. More or less desultory work
was done on sugar beets as far
back as 1867. In 1892 only six fac
tories were in operation In this coun-
try the combined output of which
was little over 27,OO0,0OO pounds OF
sugar.
According to the National Maya
zine, there are now no less than six
ty-four factories in operation, with q
combined output OF approximately
100000 short tons of sugar manu-
featured from beets, with factory
value of $45,O00,OOO. M
One most important factor has
been the production Of a high grade
sugar beet seed. For many years
American growers have been depend
ent almost exclusively on foreign
countries for our sugar beet seed, but
for three or four years past the De
partment Of Agriculture has been en-
couraging the successful growth OF
sugar beet seed in this country. 1t
has shown that the seed can be great
~ improved by breeding, tests OF
beets from American grown seed run
ming as high as II. Is and sometimes
20 per cent. sugar.
The Department is also continuing
Investigations to determine the best
localities for sugar beet production.
When we remember that less than
one-fifth of the sugar consumed in
this country is produced in the States
1t is plain that there is abundant OPP
portunity for development; and 1t Is
certain that wherever sugar factory
is located labor is Immediately in de-
mand at higher wages and the value
of farmlands increased from rs to SO
per cent.

The Rise Of the Humble Yam.

At length the humble yam, hitherto
unrecognized except in certain synco-
pated classics sung by the dusky deni.
zens at the South, has risen to the
dignity of national problem. Erst-
while the persimmon was thrust into
the limelight through decree which
knocked the pucker out, though ma
ture made the pucker first, as a sort
of basic principle, and built the per-
simmon around it, just as the italian
builds his macaroni and the Dutch
man his pretzel around hole in the
air. The persimmon is pertinent in
any discussion of the yam, for the per,
simmon and the yam are perpetual
where the possum blooms.
Which reflection is suggested by a
remark in President Roosevelt's re-
cent message on Panama While dis
cussing isthmian food problems, he
said there was much complaint, es-
pecially among the bachelors, as to
T. /. the food they got especially
as regards yams, and he added, "the
married men and women, and the
more advanced bachelors" expressed
some dissatisfaction because they
generally could not get yams. Seat.

a RECORD tloneymoon.

M. ard Nine. Eugene Gruard have
started upon the last lap OF their
honeymoon. The Gruard honeymoon
began twelve years ago. On their
wedding day the two started from
Paris to walk around the world, and
having traversed Europe, Siberia Jap
an, North and South America and
North Africa, they crossed from Dow
err to Calais on Saturday and got
into the straight for home good
deal fresher than Dorando. "A pro.
longed test of this kind should leave
no doubt as to the success Of the

GIRL SAVES HER PUPILS.

Among the most thrilling exper-
fences Of survivors of the Pressure
Isle County forest fires in Michigan
was that of Miss Grace Barber, a
school teacher, nineteen years old,
whose school was in session when the
flames swept down upon the building.
The young teacher marshalled her
pupils in double row, the largest at
the head, and ordered them to remain
in close order and not to break the
line. She then directed the leaders
to head for a plowed field near by,
and the column started on run, Miss
Barber bringing up the rear to pre-
vent struggling. Burning embers fell
thick, but the teacher Kept the chill
dren crowded close together, and
every ember was eKtinguished the in
slant it fell upon any child's clothing.
The fire burned steadily for some
time as the blaze in the top of the
trees ate it's way down. Soon animals
appeared on the edge of the field, and
during the night two bears made
their appearance. A fox came stink
ing in, as did also a wildcat, rabbits,
cartridges and other game. But the
animals kept well away from the chill
drep, not even the bears Offering hos
tile demonstration.
Miss Barber kept her charges in
the field all night and in the morning
sent them home in groups, plotting
the smaller ones herself.

Enormous Lumber output.

Notwithstanding the cry of timber
famine, the soaring price of lumber
and the disastrous effects of a money
panic late in the last year, the total
lumber cut of the year 1907, accord
ing to figures made public by the
Census Bureau, is 27O5 million feet,
board measure, more than that Of
1905. The total cut was 4O,256 million
feet.
The production of lath throughout
the country fell from 1913 million in
1906 to 1854 million in 1907, but the
production of shingles ran from H.
1858 million in 1905 to 1850 million in
1867.

Boiling Water.

Water boils whenever the outward
pressure Of the steam balances the
Inward pressure Of the air, but the
latter is not always the same. The
barometer Shows that. When the
air presses heavily the steam will
necessarily have to exercise greater
force to overcome it than when it is
low. This is why water boils at a
lower temperature on the top of a
mountain than at sea level. Water
boils at sea level at temperature of
212 degrees Fahrenheit.

RABBIT AND BOYS GOT AWAY.

Three boys were hunting rabbits
the other day on the old Nelson place,
on the East Fork of the Sinnemahon-
ing, in Pennsylvania. They started
rabbit and it ran into a shock of corn
in the field.
One of the boys ran to the shock to
kick it and scare the rabbit out. The
other two stood ready to shoot it
when it made it's appearance.
The rabbit jumped out on one side
of the shock, but neither boy shot at
it, for on the other side bear tum-
bled out of the shock and rising on
its hind feet surveyed the youngsters
as If in establishment. The boys got
away. So did the rabbit.
The bear was killed by hunter,
James Weber, in the same field next
day.

BATrLE WITH A coUGAR.


Word has just been received from
Salmon River, in the northern part
of the county, of an exciting battle
with cougar, in which "a plucky
woman, Mrs. P. GladYon, carried
off the honors. In the fight, which
lasted for half an hour, City Engi-
neer Morris Wygant and a United
States Inspector bore a part.
The cougar entered the yard of
Mrs. Gladwcn while she was hanging
up clothes. She did not observe the
beast until it was within twenty-five
feet OF her. She then turned and
saw it ready to spring. She screamed,
and as the brute leaped toward her
she threw an armful of clothes over
its head.
Her cries and the snarls of the
beast instantly attracted the atten-
ton of Mr.. Wygant and several 9TH
ers, who were in the house, and they
entered the arena backed up by sew
eral dogs. For several minutes it
was nip and tuck between the dogs,
the enraged cougar and the men.
Finally, after tearing the clothes to
pieces and injuring couple of dogs,
the animal made its escape into the
brush, apparently uninjured.-
