THOSE BEHIND THE BEAR RAID.

a juror wanted 10 know how Amory and Drayton
could engineer a raid that would assume formi-
dabe proportions for he said they had extensive
connections and not men OF wealth
They had the firm Of Talbot J. Taylor behind
them" retorted Mr.. Ryan, which at that time
was supposed to be rich brokerage firm, and a
newspaper man"
MI jerome wanted to know about the latter.
Nj Ryan said that day prominent man came
into his office and said. Il don't think you know
what is going about Metropolitan. There is
going TO be Il great blast in the newspapers to-
morrow" This showed him letter. he said.
from named Burton. - that time city editor
of The New York World in which MI Burton
asked him to sell metropolitan stock short.
Who the who came 10 your Office
asked Of the jurors
i prefer not TO tell" said Mr. Ryan.
1t was Bird Coer' interjected Mr.. Jerome.
Mr. Ryan then said shortly afterward some one
brought him the Burton letter. Mr.. Jerome then
explained the jurors that this incident simply
showed how enploye Of paper had taken ad-
vantage OF his official position.
MI Ryan was asked Il he had sent the letter
10 NJ. Pulitzer owner Of The World" He re
piled: 1T was returned 10 The World the
understanding that if I would give up that letter
forever afterward they would leave me alone anu
not annoy me"
It was not long after this incident occurred that
Nr Burton's connection with The New York
World ceased.
In supplernenting has assertion that he and his
immediate associates had never owned more than
. per of the stock issue Of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, Mr.. Ryan told the grand
jury that he never operated in the stock market.
Mr. Wfdener Mr.. DoIan and Mr. Whitney may
have" he said, l never did. I never speculated
in Metropolitan to any extent; never went into
any pool nor had anything TO do with it,"
There was no milking OF the company by own
ing stock in or having an interest in subsidiary
contracting company Mr. Ryan asked
NO such company, firm ever Gid any work
ever supplied the company with any material -"
he replied enphaticaIy.

for the road
A juror asked what profit Mr. Ryan got out OF
its sale There profit" replied MT
Jerome Another wanted TO know how il was
that Mr. Brady could sell it without Mr. Ryans
knowledge when the latter owned half interest
in it Mr. Ryan replied that the relations De-
tween Mr Whitney and himself were such that
Mr. Brady understood "hs could do almost any
thing" He also said that he knew of no entry on
Mr.. Whitney's books or any of the books of the
Metropolitan that would explain or account for the
s5GOO0O. After this the testimony ran as follows
Of Mr. Whitney had died before the purchase
there any record by which these gentlemen couIId

The testimony then turned to "Lemuel Ely

being made on the credit of the company for from

The Weather House.

A very ingenious contrivance for
foretelling the weather IS the old fash
toned weather house." largely made
In Switzerland. It Is arranged in such
a way that two figures act In response
to the twisting OF piece Of catgut
The material. supported by IL wire. con-
trolls the movements of little plat
form on either end Of which is placed
a model. Excessive moisture in the air
causes the catCut to twist and turn the
platform round. so that the man
energies fccm one Of tie doors in the
front CT the house. Reverse conditions
of the atmosphere bring about the con-
traction of the catgut. and the plat
form swings back. thus bringing the

a weather house IS quite an easy mat

edge and each capable of being thrust
forward independently Of the others.
The central and broader lance has
hollow face furnished at each side
with a rail or beading. which runs its
whole length. On the back Of each Of
the other two lances there is longi-
tudinal groove, and into these grooves
fit the raised headings of the central
lancet.
Thus the sting is like a sword with
three blades-united, but sliding upon
one another-the barbed points Of
which continue to advance alternately
into the wound, going ever deeper and
deeper of their own malice afore-
thought after the initial thrust is
made. 1t Is a device of war com
pared to which the explosive bullet is
but clumsy brutality. Yet this is not
all.
To make its death dealing powers
doubly sure this thorough minded anna
ION must fiji the haft of her triple
blade with Il subtle poison and so con-
trive it's sliding mechanism that the
same impulse which drives the points
successfully forward drenches the

GOOD HORSEMANSnP.
An Old Hunters Illustration of the
Gift of Hands"

Your heart and your head keep up,
Your hands and your knees keep down,
Your knees keep close to your horse
sides
And your elbows to your own.
This old bit of advice for the would
be horseman is quoted by a writer in
Baily's Magazine and declared to be
perennially sound.
He quotes another old hunter on the
subject of what he calls the divine
gift of hands" In riding. This old
hunter, John Darby, used to attach
two pieces Of Irvine to the back of an
ordinary chair and draw the same
tighter until the chair balanced on its
fore or hind legs, according TO his own
position.
Then when balanced he would keep
1t, so 10 speak. on the swing by gently
manipulating the Irvine or reins he
held In his hand. \ rough pull would
