POLAR BEARS.
Pows riuI, but Timid, They Rarely At
tack Human 6snus.

Observations made throughout a
number of years by officers of the
United States revenue marine prove
that the polar bears limit of range
is st. Matthew island in Bering sea.
4 few of these bears were ut one time
seen near the seal islands. being adrift
upon huge ice foe. on st. Matthew
among the rock Glens that abound
upon the island. They feed almost
entirely upon seals. walruses and dead
drift whales. and. though disdaning
to devour the bubber. the flesh Is
greedily consumed. A carcass upon
which bear has passed his CASTRO.
nomic judgment reveals the skin and
its fatty lining torn asunder. the flesh
being cut into strips and shreds 10y the
powerful claws and teeth. A single
blow of bears paw upon a seals
head sufiices to kill it. and, dragged
out upon the ice, a meal is soon dis
patched.
In summer the hairy coat of the
polar bear turns TO a dingy yellow.
and its pelt then becomes of no value.
They have not near the courage OF
the interior bears and will rarely at
tack a person unless there are two or
three in company. AS soon as they
scent man approaching they. as a
rule, will shamble off as fast as they
can. and there are but few records OF
q bear killing any of the natives along
the northern coast.
The Eskimos are very partial to the
meat of the white bear. but the blub-
Der they reject, and even the dogs, I'M
less they are very hungry. turn up
their noses at the oily mass. Ten
years ago it was a hard matter to Sc
cure the entire skin of a polar bear.
The Eskimos formerly cut off the
head and claws and either threw then
into the sea or buried them in the
ground. One of their superstitions Is
that should the head and claws not be-
disposed of the friends of the dead
animal will see the remains and con-
sequently leave that particular district
and will never return.-Juneau ALAS

SHORT ON MEMORY.
Ampere's Great Mind Had No Room
For Merely Royal Affairs.

Ampere. the famous mathematician
and physicist, was one Of the most alb
sent minded men that ever lived. as
the following story from the Taeglichc
Rundschau goes far to prove:
In September, 1906, Ampere read a
learned paper on his researches before
the Academy of Sciences in Paris
When he had finished his lecture and
was about to take his seat he found. to
his surprise. that it was occupied
Greatly agitated, he went to Godfrey
Saint-Hilaire. the president Of the
academy. and said. "Mr. President.
must call your attention to the fact
that some one who is not Il member Of
this body has entered the chamber and
taken nv seat"
The president replied calmly, "YOu
are mistaken. my learned brother: the
person whom you have in mind is, like
ourselves. fellow of the Academy Of
Sciences"
How long. should like to ask?"
said Ampere.
"Since NivOse of the year W." said
the president. who was now entering
into the humor of the situation.
"And in what class?" inquired the
suspicious Ampere
I'm the class of mechanical engineer
ing, my friend" answered Saint
Hilaire. laughing.
well. that is odd" cried Ampere.
and. Selling a calendar of the academy.
he opened to the date Saint Hilaire had
mentioned and read: Napoleon Bona
parte, fellow of the Academy Of
Sciences, chosen in Nivose of the year
VI"
Much disturbed. Ampere made all
sorts of apologies and explained that
he had not recognized the emperor on
account of his poor eyesight.

poleon, when you don't get round to
meet your fellow members. l have
never seen you ut the Tuileries. But
now shall command you to come and
see me. Tomorrow at Z o'clock you will
dine with me-" .I
The next evening the emperor wait
ed two hours for Ampere, but he had
long since forgotten the invitation.

the letter in which correspondent
confessed that having heard verbal
perfection ascribed to Grays "Elegy,'
he was moved carefully to examine the
verses on the chance of proving this

thinks. having found no less than two
errors in the lines:

Now. just why Gray put the word
"name" in the singular and not in the
plural might be made the subject Of in
genious inquiry. with any one of half
dozen sufficient explanations as recon-
-pense and all inconclusive. but to see
force in the diversity of village patro-
nymics-that requires more than inge-
nuity: it demands perversity. As for
"many holy text" that does indeed.

verb in immediate sequence be singu

Critics of this sort never will learn

AN UGLY VISITOR.
His Unwelcome Call Brought About
Dramatic Situation.

TVIB OUW0ICOVc SdH oFou9Ht HSoue o
Dramatic Situation.
The London representative of an
East Indian firm was working late at
the warehouse. A large consignment
of goods. newly arrived. lay in the
room that adjoined his office. The
room was a simple affair Of four chart
covered walls. There was a desk in
the middle. a few chairs. and a large
fireproof safe. 1t was nearly midnight.
when a sound from the next room in
duced the man to go to the door to in
ves.igate. Nothing seemed wrong and
he returned to his work, but left the
door ajar.
Presently a faint. harsh sound came
from the next room. He sprnng up to
behold the head of snake prOtruding
through the doorway.
When the reptile saw him 1t stopped
for a second. reared its head until it
was almost on level with the mans
and began to dart its tongue angrily
in and out Of its mouth.
No novelist ever imagined more
desperate situate The man was I'M
armed and apparently without means
Of escape. The moment he withdrew
his eyes from those Of the snake, it
lowered it's head and moved toward
him.
But he had already determined on
his course. The great safe stood open.
He sprang into it and closed the door
hnh aIt hn diI chnt
it completely. That would have meant
slow but certain suffOcation. He
slipped small cashbook into the aper-
ture and held the pOnderOus door open
about half an inch.
Meanwhile the python-for such it
its coils twice round the safe. which
stood some distance out from the wall.
The creature drew its coils to the ut
most tension in an angry effort to
crush the iron safe.
BY an effort the desperate prisoner
collected his wits. He remembered
that a case, slightly damaged and
marked. "to be kept i'm moderately
warm place." had been put in the ad-
joining room. and doubtless accounted
for his horrible visitor. But the ex-
PLANTATION. although simple. offered no
consolation. Something must he done.
The captive racked his brain sorely
until an idea struck him. Earlier in the
evening he had put one of the ledgers
in the safe with long, black eraser
inside TO mark special entry.
Cramped and almost doubled as he
was, he found it no easy matter to
reach the slender weapon. the blade of
which was as sharp as a razor. Tax
ing his courage in both hands he
plunged the knife again and again into
the folds of the snake, where they
crossed the small aperture. There fol-
lowed a horrible. tearing sound. and
the massive safe rocked ominously for
some moments. Then suddenly the
folds seemed to relax and go writing
to the floor.
Owing to the extreme tension OF the
coils the keen blade had almost sew
cred the body In half From head to
tail 1t measured nearly forty feet.

COURSE OF A PITCHED BALL.
Why . Straight Fast One Jumps Side
ways In the Air.


ways In the Air.
That a pitched baseball curves in the
direction in which the nose of the ball
IL moving because of the spin-upward
II the twist given by the pitcher is up
ward. toward the right il the twist is
to the right. and so On-is a matter of
experience that is quite comprehensi-
bic. but how hard pitched ball should
jump sidswise i'm most irregular
manner, although pitched straight
without spinning is certainly puzzling
In the Journal Of the Franklin Insti-
tute Professor w. s. Franklin Of Le-
Aish university expounds the phenOme
non as well as the philosophy of twist
ed balls. Multitudes Of fans who
have always supposed that the banning
qualities of straight pitched ball
were due simply to its swiftness never
suspected this eccentricity. Professor
Franklin states the case in this way:
Consider very smooth ball which is
moving through still water without
spinning There is certainly no more
reason why the ball should jump to
the right than to the left. Therefore it
must continue to move straight for
ward. That is good logic But such a
ball is no more subject to logic than is
a sharp stick. The fact is that the bal,
does jump sidewise and in most ir-
regular manner. This may be shown
by dropping a smooth marble in jar
of still water The marble goes nearly
straight for several inches and then
suddenly jumps sidewise. Similarly
smooth baseball jumps sidewise irreg-
Glarly as it moves through the air If
the ball is not spinning.
The explanation lies in the fact that
a rapidly moving stream of air splits
when ii flows past Il ball with unstable
dividing lines or vortex sheets. The
unstable sheet will squirt now upward
now downward The condition is the
same when the ball splits the air and
is shunted in glancing manner past
the bat The only requisite for this
battling effect is power in the pitchers
arm.
