An Ia3ta;ice of tlie Fearlessness Tif trie
'". Aniroiil - t'ctv AVortls of Advice
from a Hunter VTbo la I'anill
Jnr with Its n:ibi'.s.
: A sportsman, writing- to-theSan
Francisco Chronicle advises others who
iniiy complain that the California griz-i-.lv
is crowintr scarce and losin,? his
nerve that there is a foeman worthy
1 is lead in the brown bear of ' Alaska. I
lie thus describes the brute and his !
habitat: The northern side of the
Kenai peninsula, bordering the shores
of Cook's inlet, Kodiak island and the
Alaskan peninsula as far west a3 Uni
mak island, are the habitat of the Alas
kan brown bear (ursu3 Richard sonii),'
a hug-e, shag-g-y animal, varying- in
length from six to twelve feet, and
weighing from eig-ht hundred to fif
teen hundred pounds. This animal
possesses all the courage 'and fierce
ness of his southern cousin, the grizzly,
and has been hunted so little as yet
that he is absolutely fearless of man
and is an exceedingly dangerous ad
versary. The island of ICodia, being
more settled than the other localities
mentioned, is less favorable as a hunt
ing ground for the sportsman than the
wilder regions adjacent. This is espie
cially true of the eastern and wooded
end of the island. On the west, the
country is more open, and on that ac
count seems to- be preferred by the
bear. There is still good sport to be
had in certain localities hereabout,
and native guides can always be ob
tained at the villages situated on the
shores of the bays or on the banks of
the salmon streams in this vicinity.
Being an expert fisher the bear fre
quents during the salmon season all
the rivers emptying into the Behring
sea and the North Pacific and their
tributaries as far as the fish go. After
the salmon run is over the animal re
treats into the recesses of the hills
where -berries and small game are
plentiful.
The brown bear is the great road
maker of this part of Alaska. Not
only are the banks of the streams
trodden into good trails by the huge
lumbering brutes, but the swampy
plains are crossed in every direction
by paths leading to the. hills. The
traveler will do' well to follow them in
his journeying across the country, as
they invariably lead to the best ford
ing places of streams and form the
easiest routes to the hills.
The northern limit of the brown
I bear's hahit'.it is, as yet, undetermined,
J but I have seen them in the interior as
J far as latitude 07 degrees, and they
j probably range still further,
j The mainland of Alaska adjacent to
! the island of Unga is full of brawn
j b.;ar-.u and. although somewhat small
! er than those" found on the west side
j of Cook's inlet, they are sufficiently
j lieree and aggressive.' Some officers
! from one of the vessels of the. Behr-
I tug s-.-a licet went ashore at ITerendeen
j buy during' the summer of 1801 on a
i di'ff hunt, and one of the party saw
a loar about one hundred yards dis
tant eating berries. Without a thought
of the consequences he raised his gun
and fired at the animal. The shot
went wide of the mark, but at the re
port of the gun the bear started for
the hunter on the dead run. His
charge was met by a shower of bullets
from the officer's repealer, but, al
though badly wounded, the infuriated
brute did .not hesitate an instant; but
rushed straight at his enemy. When
within about ten feet of the hunter
the bear rose on his haunches, and pre
pared to close. Blood was pouring in
streams down his body. One bullet
had shattered his upper jaw, but' he
was still so full of fight that the out
come of the struggle would have been
extremely-doubtful had not another of
the party arrived and ended the fight
by shooting the brute, through the
brain. An examinatj-'Trf'the bear's
body showed thart-had been struck
six times. Three of the shots were in
parts of. the body ordinarily consid
ered vital, and would doubtless have
ultimately caused death; but the vi
tality of these animals is almost in
credible, instances having been cited
of their rimning over a hundred yards
after being shot through the heart. '
One of the best places in Alaska to
find the brown bear is in the vicinity
of Portage . bay, ten or twelve miles
across Unga strait from Sand point.
At the latter place a hotel has recent
ly been erected where visiting sports
.men can be assured of comfortable
quarters. The ptarmigan shooting is
excellent on these islands, and deer
is plentiful, if that kind of sport is
more desirable. The bear hunter,
however, will not have any cause for
complaint on account of scarcity of
his particular variety of game. Last
summer, while I was at Sand point,
two hunters came in after an absence
of little over a nonth in the vicinity
of Portage bay and reported having
killed thirty-three bears. On one day
-,alone they killed seven. In order to
show that they were not spinning hun
ters' yarns they had brought the skins
with them and sold them at the trading
post at Sand point. In dealing with
the Alaskan bear a hunter should nev
er go alone. A companion is almost as
essential as a gun. . .

How. do dogs know the tuna of- day?
some one nska t'io writer, and proceeds
to relate some stories to prove that
they do know it.' One of these stories,
says thy lio&toa Transsript, is about a
collie who starts every aT-oroon to
meet hi: master,' who always .coaos on
the S:3!.. train! . Train j ar. continually
coming- and f-oinr, and v.'histlir. j and
ringinp-lvat Pete pays no attention to

vyi'.tily,
.nolher
dog beeaiaa so muca c.ce'itotned toVro
ing to the sehoolhpus-j every' uicrainjr i
with his- little' nsa-.-tcr that, when the J
boy war; 'absent for sever al weeks, the j
dog went on .'Oing to scnool.-ar-
riyiiig- punctually at nine o'clock every
morning. ICorecver,- he never went on
Satrrdny or Munday. '
,Wlth 'regard to the first case, it
mig-ht be replied, perhaps, by a skepti
cal person, that the dog was more like
ly to be able to distinguish the special
whistle of. the locomotive which drew:
the half-past five o'clock train than
to know it by. the hoar of the' Jay. And
yet the writer has no sort of dcubt that
dogs do know when a certain hoar ar
rives fit which something regular and
accustomed takes place. The second
case seems to prove this very thing.
There is a case on record in which a
doctor, who was accustomed to visit a
certain village at a certain hour on a
certain day each week, always found a
dog of his acquaintance waiting for
him outside the town, and it was
proved that the dog never came to the
place at any other day or hour Evi
dently all that can be. said in explana
tion of such cases is that animals are
susceptible of having periods or circles
of time established in their intelli
gences by use, and that their ignorance
of timepieces only serves to make the
instinct the keener. It is well known
that men who have never possessed
watches, and who work or hunt habit
ually at a distance from clocks, are ex
pert at estimating the lapse of time.
Perception of . this kind undoubtedly
may be cultivated in an intelligent
animal as well as in man,
MAD ELEPHANTS.
Tbe Males Suddenly Become Dangerously
Demented.
When we present the elephant in
possession of such intellectual gifts as
may be his, there has to be considered
the case of the elephant that, being
"must," is for a time bereft of. its
senses, says Blackwood's Magazine. It
is only the male that suffers from this
affliction of insanity; but every male is
liaMe to it some time or other, and,
unfortunately, may be attacked by it
without warning of any kind. ""
Some men of long experience of ele
phant keeping say that the "must"
condition is preceded by premonitory
symptoms, and if taken in time may,
by diet and treatment, be averted, but,
without presuming to contradict these
better-informed people, I can aver that
I have known some of them to be
taken by surprise by the sudden
"musting"' of .elephants under their
own immediate supervision. '
Some elephants become demons of
crueltv when "must." as, for example.
a commissariat elephant that, during
my time m Oudh, broke away from the
Lucknow lines and went over a consid
erable tract of country, kill ingmen,
women and children wherever it found
an opportunity of doing so.
I do 'not know 1;he total number
killed by that beast, but it was sadly
large. And of course,- valuable as. the
animal was to the government, only
one course could be pursued in regard
to it. The sentence passed upon it
was that of death, and the execution
was carried out, not without difficulty
and danger to the executioners, by sev
eral Europeans, who followed and shot
it down.
