Harold Farley, ot BU.ghasn. is will­ ing to take oath “on a stack of Bibles” that the man who says bears will not attack human beings are nature fakers of the worst sort. Harold was attacked by a bear one night and had to burn his shirt and nearly everything else ; he had on at the time to save himself from the critter's quick-lunch counter. As the hero ot this astounding yarn tells it. he was on his way to Preble & ; Robinson’s logging, camp No. 4 in the Deadwater region, eight miles above j Bingham, where he is employed as a ' chopper. He had been home for a i change of underwear and had started at dusk for the eight-mile tramp through the woods to camp, carrying a lantern to cheer and light his way. When within half a mile of camp j Farley stumbled into a birch top that 1 had fallen across his path, and as he stumbled in an immense bear stum­ bled out—a sort of superdreadnaught bear—which gave one growl and one ! swipe, scaring Farley and putting his lantern out. Two more “ woof, woof” remarks from the bear and Farley lit out for the nearest tree, up which he ( went with speed and agility that as tounded both himself and the bear. Now comes the brand-new and red- hot part of the story—good for moving j pictures. Farley had climbed high, but the bear seemed bound to get him. and there wasn't even time for pray­ ers. There was time, however, for Farley’s wits, sharpened by peril, to j get busy, and he thought of an old | hunter's remark that bears can't stand j the smell of burning cloth. So he took | one of the several clean handkerchiefs ho had brought from home, touched a I match to it and let it drop on the bear’s nose. That helped some. The bear growled deeper than evor and j paused ten seconds in his climb. Thus went Farley's stock of hand- kerchiefs, but the bits of Came served merely to postpone the dread mo- ment when a bear worth not more than $30 would be lunching on a woodsman who could earn that much in a month, besides board. Farley decided to sac­ rifice his shirt—his outer shirt. That was more effective. It stayed the bear's advance fully one minute. Then a red flannel undershirt. About equal results. Next—but at this moment the camp crew, who had observed the flickers of flame in the tree top-and heard Far­ ley's yells for help, came along with poles and axes and chased the bear away. "That’s a true story—every gosh- | darned word of it,” says Farley, “and them as don’t taka no stock Into it ' can go out there and see what's left o’ them shirts—Jest the buttons, b'gosh.”—Bangor (Me.)

It is not an infrequent occurrence for steel and iron workers to get bits of metal In their eyes or hands. Pre­ vious to the Installation of a magnet the only means of removal was by probing, a method which is as uncer­ tain as it is painful. Since this ma­ chine was put in operation it is a very simple proceeding to extract such par­ ticles. The portion of the body in which the foreign particle is embed­ ded is placed near the pole tip of the magnet, the switch is closed, and the magnet does the rest. Some remark­ ably small pieces have been extracted in this way. The pole piece is remov able, a number of different shapes be­ ing supplied for various classes ol work. Tried to Drown Cries. That in point of harmony a talking machine Is superior to a fretful baby and that the owner of the machine has the legal right to operate his prop erty in opposition to and in defense of the baby is the substance of a de­ cision rendered by a New York mag­ istrate. He dismissed the summons obtained by the mother of the baby, compelling the appearance in court of ' a woman neighbor to answer to a com [ plaint ot having endangered the health of the baby by continuously op­ erating a phonograph near the child's nursery window. The defendant plead­ ed guilty, but claimed extenuating clr cumstances. The baby, she said, cried frequently for hours.

Resources Reported to Government. , University of Washington, Seattle. —The United States Geological Sur­ vey will shortly publish a compre­ hensive bulletin on Washington's coal resources, bringing together in one report what has heretofore been printed in fragments. The bulletin is being prepared by Dean Henry Landes, of the college of science, during his year's leave of absence. New fields, such as the Whatcom county anthracite and Lewis county lignite beds, will be the subject of discussion in the report, in addition to the better known King, Fierce a u d Kittitas county fields. Washington coal operators are feel­ ing the competition of the California oil fields, according to Dean Landes, but the mines are nevertheless fairly prosperous. The hard coal of Washington will draw only conservative comment. Dean Landes describes it as in the prospective stage, and says only de­ velopment work will tell the story of quantity and quality. State's Coal "Sadderman seems to be always worrying about something." “ Yes; he is generally troubled with three kinds ol trouble at the same time—all the trouble he has ever had, all he has now and all he ever expects to have.” — Puck.
