PICTURES PAINTED BY THE SUN.
No doubt there are many of the
little men and women whose parents
possess some of those old, dim photo
graphs incl0sea in velvet-lined cases,
Of eat-grandmothers and great
eat-gTandmothers, great-uncles, or
great-aunts. Compared with the pho
tographs we have to-day, We are like
ly to think them very poor affairs,
but persons who know about these
things say no more beautiful photo
graphs ever were made than some of
these old daguerreotypes, and that
those who are fortunate enough to
possess them should take great care
OF them. Although they are so dim
that we have TO hold them in certain
lights to see them, they are really the
most permanent Of photographs. The

GRIZZLIES IN NORTHERN WILDs.

GRIZZLIES IN NORTHERN WILDS.
"Triangulation work, hooking up
mountain peaks over vast distances
and photo-topographical labors were
carried on under great difficulties and
dangers in the snow peaks and gla-
ciers of southeastern Alaska and
northern British Columbia this sum-
mer. 1t was not the danger of fall
ing over precipices Or into crevices
the party feared as much as the pos
sibility that they would be devoured
by hungry grizzlies.
"Why, that country up there has a
corner on bears. 1t is the greatest
grizzly paradise on earth. 1t was
not an uncommon experience to see
as many as six of these huge animals
every day. If our records are not
perfect we will have to ascribe the
blame to the grizzlies.
This was the way J. NJ. Bates, of
Ottawa, summed up the exciting fea-
lures of his seasons work in connec-
tion with the delimitation of the
Alaska boundary along the Iskoot
River, tributary of the Stikine. He
was in charge Of a party of eight men.
Mr.. Bates has had many adventures
in the north since he first began the
delimitation of the frontier. Two
years ago he wounded a grizzly and
in a dash for safety rolled down a
glacier with the animal at his heels.
Mr.. Bates escaped, but the bear was
dashed to death. Mr.. Bates added:
81. Sullivan Cochrane, noted Bos-
ton naturalist and big game hunter,
had a lively experience near our
camp this summer. He was seeking
to photograph grizzlies in their ma
tive wilds. One day he snapped his
camera on a huge bear, when the ami
NAL charged viciously. One of its
paws hurled the kodak into a ra-
vine, while the other cuffed the in
truder. Just then his guide fired, but
not moment too soon. Three shots
did the guide pump into the grizzly
which staggered about, made a plunge
at the guide, whose last cartridge
was exhausted. Mr.. Cochrane, al
though armed with only a revolver,
then rushed to the rescue and des-
patched the bear He told me that
he had completed his course in ma
ture studies. s."-Vancouver Core

QUALIFYING FOR THE SERVICE.
In his Memoirs of Eighty Years,
DR.. Gordon Hake, who was a nephew
of General Charles Gordon, tells how
he won the appreciation Of his uncle
later celebrated as the hero of Khar-
tum. 1t was by a boyish feat which
he learned in his school-days Most
boys feel a vaulting ambition at that
age, but too few of them in later
years fulfil its aims.
l may mention here, in taking leave
of my boyhood, that there was a bath
at Islington called Peerless Pool, 10
which in summer the boys OF the
school were sent to battle.
1t was a large mass of water, OBJ
long in shape, with a wide promen-
ade. There we would spend whole
afternoon, sent there by the authori-
ties when the half-holiday was ii
hand.
There, to excite the wonder and ap-
plause of the other boys, I punished
myself by taking the longest run tC
the waters edge that was obtainable
within the enclosure, and by leapins
somersault-fashion into the air to {
great height and reaching the water
in seated posture.

SEED TRAVELLERS.

DID you eyer stop to think why it
Is that so many tiny maple trees grow
in your garden in the spring when
there are no large maple trees near?
Look at the bird, and then at the
maple tree. You viii see that both
have wings. Such seeds as the ma
pies and elms hutter from their pa
rent trees, and then with their little
wings fly with the winds to faraway
homes. There they await the coming
Of spring. The nuts in the woods
are also seeds for new trees to jour
ney to their new homes by rolling
from place 10 place. Scme seeds have
little airships TO travel in. Perhaps
you have seen them, for the milk
weed babies and dandelion children
sail very high as they look down up
on hills and fields.
Many seeds which must travel yet
have no wings nor sails steal their
rides, SO they are called tramps After
a walk through the fields, when you
find your coat covered with tiny
green hooks, you may know that you
have been imposed upon TO carry
these little vagabonds on their jour
neys The birds often help the seeds,
although they do not know it. The
feathered creatures light upon the
branches of the great oak OR old ap-
pie tree, to feed upon the white ber-
ries of the mistletoe. In getting this
food the sticky gum Of the mistletoe
gets on the birds feet. Some of the
seeds fasten themselves to this gum,
so are carried to another tree by a
hungry little bird that supposes he
is only getting his dinner.-Wash-

punishment equal to that of being
fogged.
Being somewhat sheepish at the
age Of fifteen, [ did not stand very
high in the estimation of my uncle,
General Gordon, while staying with
him at Woolwich; but one day he
took me down to the Thames 20
bathe
There was platform, probably for
the soldiers to jump from into the
water. This afforded me long run,
and I resolved On performing my feat
My uncle was perfectly amazed at
it, and often alluded to it with sur
prise in later years. After this dis
play Of my pluck, he was much in
favor Of my going into the army.
WHY THEY MISSED THE BEAR.
This being the middle of the open
season for deer the subject of big
game is frequently discussed just
now at the various gatherings of men
in this city. Naturally the .ailment
known as "buck fever is often re-,
ferred to by story tellers.
''That reminds me of something
worse" said Lieutenant J. C. Bur
nett, of the United States branch hy-,
geographic Office the other day. 1t
reminds me Of bear ague.' Never
heard of it, Ell? Well, first encoun-
tered it in Wrangell rarrows, Alaska,
number Of years ago. We were on.
the old surveying steamer Patterson.
'Just as we rounded point of
land not more than zoo yards distant
a big black bear was seen on the
beach looking at US. Eight men took
up rifles at once and were about to
shoot when l told them to wait and
fire all at once in a. volley when
gave the order. They all took careful
beads on the beast Ready, fire. I
shouted. 49,.
'There was a rattle Of musketry
as the eight pieces were discharged,
and every one looked to see the ami
mails death throes. There was the
bear running up the hill as lively as
a jack rabbit. Not shot had hit
him. Bear ague, that's ALL, Every
mans hand was trembling SO he
couldn't hit a house. Buck fever's
nowhere alongside of it.'-San Fran
cisco Call.
TOWED BY BIG BULL MOOSE.
Two young hunters, Melville Gould,
of Oldtown, and w. T. Doyle, of
Northeast Harbor, who have just re-
turned to Ellsworth, Me-, from a
hunting trip, were towed in boat
across Branch Pond by bull moose
and then upset.
The boys were hunting birds near
the pond when they spied the moose
on the bank. Although they had
nothing heavier than small shot they
blazed away at him, but he paid little
attention. They gave him another
volley, at which the moose waded in
to the pond and started to swim
across.
The boys got rowboat and soon
caught up with him. They succeeded
in throwing a rope over his antlers,
and for nearly a mile the moose
towed them at rapid speed. Once he
stopped and turned upon the boat,
but a charge of shot in his shoulder
started him off again.
When near the shore the moose
suddenly swerved to avoid sunken
boulder, but the boat struck it and
upset, throwing both boys into the
icy water and they were obliged to
wade ashore, while the moose broke
the rope and made off through the
woods with the broken end dangling
from his antlers.
The boys had much difficulty in re-
covering their guns from the bottom
of the pond and returned to their
camp badly chilled.

A RATTLESNAKE RANCH


A rattlesnake ranch does not seem
particularly inviting sort of estate,
but F. B. Anthony, of Brownsville,
Texas, has made a small fortune out
of his.
The rattlesnake ranch-everything
surrounded by high fence of boards
There are no doorways of any kind,
entrance being effected by means of
ladders over the top.
Inside, says the Wide World Mag
azine, the space is divided into three
enclosures for the safety and comfort
of the snakes, some speci2 IS of which
are deadly enemies to others. Brush
and dried grass afford hiding places
and shade.
In these pens and in boxes in which
the snakes are shipped hundreds of
miles, many of them monsters in
size, are kept in stock. The snakes
are captured by Mexicans all over
Texas, Mexico, Arizona and other
States and Territories, and are sent
in with the certainty of sale, for Mr..
Anthony always has market for
them.
The Mexican snake hunter punches
the snake with stick until the in
furiated reptile coils to strike, mean
time keeping up rattle which sounds
like clock running down. A loop
of leather attached to the top of
stick is then deftly dropped over the
snakes head, and from that time, rat
tie he ever so fiercely, he is helpless
captive.
All tales of the distance to which
a rattler can leap to the contrary not
withstanding, he cannot leap at all
or strike beyond half his length, and
if third of him is Off the -round he
can neither coil nor strike. His captor
next drags him ANONYMOUSLY to
camp, where he is handled with an
immense pair of wooden tongs.
1t takes strong man to negotiate
an enraged rattler when fully aroused
and writhing with his immense power
of muscle, for the creatures weigh
many pounds and are from six to
nine feet long. The snake is next put
into box with sliding lid. This lid
is carefully drawn back until the
snake protrudes his head and is then
shot forward so as to clinch the neck
behind the head. The snake is then
helpless to strike.
The snakes head is now forced
back over the side of the box until
the jaws open, glass is held con-
veniently and the head released,
whereupon the jaws close on the rim
of the glass just as if the snake had
struck. This is done to collect the
deadly virus, which runs down the
side into the glass and is bottled for
sale to physicians and chemists of
an inquiring frame of mind for ex-
pertinent.
