MAD0ENED THE BEAR.
Ingenious Trap That Was Formerl,
Used by the Mexicars.

Used by the Mexicars.
The MeSiyans In California had an
ingenious method Of trapping bears
before the advent of the Yankees
brought modern tlrearms into the re.
gion. A piece Of meat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb of an OAK
tree. From limb Eve or six feet
above q rope was suspended. to thu
end of which a large stone was made
fast so that It hung about six inches
above and tri6e nearer the trunk
than the meat on the lower limb.
When bear smelled the meat from
afar he would climb up the tree and
make his way to the bait In doing
20 he would push the stone pendulum
TO one side. Just as be was about to
fasten his teeth In the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head
This would arouse the anger Of the
bear. and he would give the stone
sweep OF his paw which would send
II swinging farther out. The conse-
quence was n harder bang and more
anger The more be struck the stone
the harder he would be hit in return.
until from ferocious anger he would
lose his caution and attack the pendu-
lum with all his vigor. One powerful
sweep. then bang and bruin would be
tumbled out Of the tree to the rocks
below. where. disabled by his fall, he
would be at the mercy of those who
set the trap whenever they chose to
take him.

After examining it the shopman said:

KEEFE PLANS NEW
WORK FOR STATION

SAN FRANCISCO, December 90
There are already evidences of Com
missioner Keefe's activities in Hawaii.
He has already set afoot plan great
" to increase the white population of
the Islands by sending DR.. A. G. Clarke
here to arrange for the chartering of a
steamer to ply between Salina Cruz
Mexico, and Honolulu TO carry Euro
pean hOmeseekers free. With the con
summation of this plan 1t is figured
that the thrifty class of Europeans who
desire to make their homes in the Isl
ands can have transportation from
Liverpool or Hamburg to Honolulu fol-
abo1t $24, whereas it costs them about
$500 to reach the Islands by the At
isntic route and across the United
States.
Doctor Clarke is now at Salina Cruz
arranging with the officials of the Te-
huantepec Railroad for rates for the
immigrants across the isthmus from
the Atlantic to the Pacific seaboard, a
distance of $50 miles.
II is also said to be a part of Com
missioner Keefe's plan to establish a
strong immigration station at Honolulu,
where vessels from the Orient may be
thoroughly inspected and Chinese, pau
per Hindus and other undesirable i'm
migrants can be taken off the steam
ships there and returned whence they
came.
