s4renath of a Grizzly Bear.

It is related that a grizzly bear that had one of it's fore paws so shot as to render it useless employed the other to draw it's weight of 1,0OO pounds up an incline almost precipftous, a seem 1ngly impossible feat. A Californian asserts that while in the mountains he observed a big grizzly in the act of carrying a dead cow home to her cubs. From his position on the mountain side the Californian could follow every movement of the bear in the sparsely dmbered valley below. He contends that the big beast carried the COW in her fore paws for a distance of three miles, across jagged rocks several feet in height, over fallen logs around the rocky mountain side, where even 8 mule could not get. a foothold, to a narrow trail up the steep mountain side. This bear, it appears. stopped not a moment for rest, but proceeded straight on. The observer followed her and about half mile from her lair shot her. The COW. it is reported. weighed at least 1,200 pounds, while the weight of the grizzly was about 45O pounds.-Fur News.

A keeper awakened to the fact that in the silent watches of the night some of his pheasants were being systemati- cal1y puFloined. Footprints were aI- ways discernible; but, as there was nothing remarkable about any of them, they were of no value for detective purposes They served, however, to suggest a plan. He went to the local cobbler and offered him generous re ward for the performance of very simple task. When three suspected persons sent their boots for repairs. the nails or jackets were to be placed in the sOles according to different de signs which the keeper wonld provide. The son of St. Crfspin agreed to the proposal. and it was carried into effect as opportunity offered. The result was that charge of poaching was proved against two of the three men through the distinctive impressions made by their boots in the retentive soil. The cobbIer's connivance in the keepers lit tie scheme was. of course, kept strict secret.-Glasgow News

Music and the Hair

Though Il per cent of all musicians are bald, disappears that this is the re- suit of exposure to the wrong musical vibrations. M. Henri de Parvi1le, the French physicist, is credited with the theory that the well known action of music on the nervous system affects the nutrition of the bodily tissues and thus has an influence on the hair, and it is claimed that observations support this view. The influence, however, is not always the same. All male plan ists have a wealth of hair, and 1t is found that playing the piano and vio- lin have a specially beneficial effect, as do also, In less degree, the violon- cello, the harp and the double bass Players of the flute and clarinet get much less hirsute stimulation, their locks showing very perceptible thin ming by the age of fifty. The harm done ts among players of brass instru- nents, and those who make much use of the cornet and the horn advance ra- pidly toward badness, while players Of the trombone lose at least 60 per cent of their hair in about five years Exchange.

Carbon, like the magicians of old, has the power under proper conditions of assuming various forms called a1lO- tropdc notifications without losing its individuality So while it's properties and appearance may have changed it is still chemically carbon and nothing but carbon.
