had not long continued this perform
ance when his claws caught in the
crack of loosened board. There
was a ripping creak and a crash, and
down came the board. Another fol-

main. His hesitation was brief; he
scrambled through, walked out of the
open door of the horse-stall into an
alley, and sought wider range.
At first the boys were a little
frightened, but they concluded that
solomon would not be able to climb
into the loft, and that it was safer
for them to stay above than to 90
down the ladder, for the grizzly might
easily push aside one OF the half
dozen sliding doors and get out Of the
barn.
The barn was at a considerable dis
lance from the house, so they deter
mined not to alarm the women unless
Solomon should get outside and so
make it necessary. They sat for a
time listening to the monotonous
bawling of the COW. Solomon seemed
to have lost interest in her noise, as
they heard him now and then rum
maging among the empty stalls.
They had begun to hope that the
bear would not find his way out of the
stalls, when they heard him scram-
bling heavily.
Then came resounding thump as
ne dropped from one of the open man
gers to the floor of the barn.
Almost instantly a terrific bawlipg
and uproar broke out below. Solo
mon had reached the COW at last.
The boys ran to the edge of the hay
lift and peered down. The COW was
directly underneath, had backed up
against the buggies, and stood toss
ing her head and bawling like crazv
thing.
Dropping their eyes below the level
OF the loft floor, the lads saw Solomon
coming round pile Of new alfalfa
which had been unloaded in front of
the central stalls. His rage was ter

the attack.

and swayed back and forth before

Nevertheless the COW, in a lightning

humber of years feature at Hart
ranft's. AS puny infant, barely able
to crawl, Solomon, as he was solemnly
dubbed, was brought in off the Tetor
Mountains, and as milk was scarcel
than money at the horse-ranch, he
was aristocratically fed on matted
milk.
On this expensive diet the cub
throve amazingly. Good feeding was
continued after his weaving from the
rubber nipple, and at the end OF three
years Solomon had grown to be a fat

The ranch hands.
When Joe Hartranfts sister, Mrs.
Murray, and her two boys, Rufe and
Perry, came to the ranch to spend the
month OF June, Solomon was prompt

Perchercn had been kept loose in a
closed stall adjoining Solomon's, and
one day, when the bears voice was
raised in remonstrance against his
shrill neighing, he had turned his
heels loose against the partition
which separated them. His fierce
battery had loosened two boards four
or five feet above the floor. And the
cracks he made had gone unnoted,
or at least the mending had been
neglected.
A few days after the visitors came,
a fine short-horn COW with a new calf
was turned into the barn for the day.
Men and work-horses were at work
at the alfalfa-cutting, and the bear
and cow and calf were sole occupants

A very simple device is employed
on the tramways Of Zurich, SwiCzsr-
land, to prevent the grinding of the
wheels and the shaking Of the cars
passing round curves. Since it is not
practicable in a public street to raise
the outer rail on curves, as is done on
railroads, q similar effect is produced
by giving to the exterior tramway
rail on curves very shallow groove.
The consequence is that the outer
wheels Of the tramcars passing round
a curve run on their f1anges, and are
thus raised relatively to the inner
wheels. This device disDoses ef-
fectively of the disagreeable grind
ing and the shaking of the cars, ia
the great comfort of the passengers.
