SHOT 1,eoo POUND
 BEAR IN ALASKA
Ex- Senator Fred A. Johnson of Mont
 vile Secured Fine Trophy.

Ftii6 SCSATCO FiHG FOpnYs
 
 After encountering a number of bad storms and narrowly escaping ship wreck in Behring sea, ex-Senator Fred A. Johnson of MontvilIe has just re- turned from hunting trip to Alaska, having travelled in all II 900 miles Mir Johnson was gone three months, dur ing which time he visited the Behring sea eide of the wild Alaskan peninsula west of Unimak Island. For one thou sand miles the land stretches out, a desolate waste of volcanic rock and shale. There is not tree of any de- scription to be seen, the only vegeta- tion that thrives at all being alder and willow.
 grounds about May 1 and although a little early for successful shooting yet he brought down, among other game, large bear, II feet long from tip to tip feet in girth, and weighing about 1,6O0 pounds. The rear paw measured 14 inches and between ear tips the bear measured IS inches. Mir Johnson says his trip has convinced him that stories about bears attacking people in that country at least, are ridiculous, for 1t was only with great difficulty that MT. Johnson was able to approach the bears. The greater part of the time he was only able to see their hind quarters disappearing in the dis tance
 While on the trip, MT. Johnson saw millions of geese and ducks and a number or sea lions. He said there was hardly a day that he did not see anyweher from one hundred to several hundred caribou. but of course he was unable to bag drfy of them, as they are at present protected by law
 The hunting grounds where MT Johnson got his big bear are located about 30 miles from the smoking Pay iof volcano and about 40 miles from Unimak Island, which is 70 miles long. As to the weather MT. Johnson found it quite mild, this being due to the nearness of the Japanese current.
 MT. Johnson made the trip accom- panied only by a guide and a cook. MT. Johnson has always been promi- nent in athletics and during his college course at Yale explained the winning crew.

ELECTRICITY.
Some Facts About This Wonderful and
Puxziino Medium,

Some Facts About This Wonderful and
Puzzlins Medium.
Here are some of the known facts
about electricity that will enable those
who know nothing about it to under>
stand how 1t behaves. 1t must be un-
derstood that no one knows whut elec-
tricity Is. Only through Its behavior
can we arrive ut nn idea OF Its nature.
Tie following facts are condensed from
an article In the Electrical Experiment
ter:
All substances. from the heaviest
metals to the lightest gases. are elec-
trio, but they differ widely in their
electric qualities. Electricity is called
positive when 1t exists or is excited
III any body In an amount in excess
OF the amount natural to that body.
1t Is called negative when it exists or
is excited In any body In an amount
which Is less than the amount natural
to that body. All electrical phenomena
In nature depend upon the tendency Of
electricity to find an equilibrium be-
tween its positive and negative states.
Electricity resides In all substances
and Is. perhaps. an essential ingredi-
ent Of their conditions. SO every change
In their state. whether from heat to
cold or from cold to heat. from state
OF rest to state of motion. from solid
to liquid or to aeriform. or vice versa.
or whether substances combine chem
tcally or are chemically separated-in
every change the electrical equilibrium
Is disturbed. and in proportion to the
degree Of disturbance IL the force ex-
erted by electricity to resume its bal
ance.
Electricity seeks to gain its equilib-
rum by passing through substances
that are favorable to its diffusion.
These are called conducting or nom
conducting. according as they favor or
oppose the passage Of the electrical
current
Among the conductors are metals,
charcoal. animal fluids. water. vege-
table and animal bodies, fame. smoke
and vapor Among the nonconductors
also called insulators-are rust, oils,
phosphorus. lime, chalk. rubber. cam
phor. marble. porcelain. dry gases and
air. wool. silk. glass. transparent
stones. wax and amber Some OF these
become conductors when wet
When electricity in considerable
force. seeking its equilibrium. meets
with insulating bodies intense heat and
light are produced. in the evolution of
which the electric force becomes ex.
pended. When the electric force is
checked IN its course by an ins,llator q
spark IL emitted n the current he
slroiis. Whcn currents pass toward
each other along wires at the ends OF
which charcoal points nrc placed and
these ends remain in contact, the cleo
triral communication is uninterrupted
and no light is emitted. but the instant
the charcoal points are separated a
layer Of dry air, a nonconductor, Is
interposed and the electricity in fore
ing It's way through that nonconductor
evolves intense heat and brilliant light.
