RAILWAY DETECTIVES. Thay Tract Those Who Steal or De stroy Property of the Road. Tbe secret service is a hard game to tackle, but. like all kinds of work. It has its easy Jobs. Oue of them is that of special agent for a railroad The agent Is supposed to trace those who steal or destroy railroad proiwrty When be Is notified that a trunk or other article of baggage Is missing he finds out by Its uumber from where It was sent and follows It on tbe books to the last station where It has been checked Then he notifies the |>olice in the vicinity between the station where the baggage was last checked rind the station where It should have been checked. Tbe police get busy, and probably the property Is soon re covered and the thieves put In Jail The baggage Is then turned over to tbe special agent, who notifies the rail road official that he has recovered the stolen goods. If a freight car is robbed tbe spe cial agent pursues tbe same tactics He finds out where the car was last sealed and the place where tbe car was reported as having Its seal broken Tbe police or constables In the coun try between the two points are notl fled, and If they fall to capture tbe robbers the railroad may never hear again of the stolen goods. Wherever destruction has occurred to railroad property It Is usually police officers who trace and arrest those guilty. However, the special agent must be a keen Judge of human nature and THE HANDY with sufficient tact to make hlmsqlf His Job of Varnishing the Door Wat popular with the police officers In Ills territory.

Tbe lump raised by a blow on the head is due to the resistance offered by the bard skull and its close connec tion with the movable elastic scalp by many circumscribed bands of connec tive tissue The result of a blow when tbe scalp la not cut Is the bruising and laceration of many of the small blood vessels or capillaries Blood or Its fluid constituent, serum. Is poured Into tbe meshes of the surrounding con nective tissue, wblcb is delicate, spongy, distensible and cellnlar. and tbe well known bump or lump Is quick ly formed.

Ingenious Trap That Was Formerly Used by ths Mexicans. Tbe Mexicans in California bad an ingenuous method of trapping bears before tbe advent of tbe Yankees brought modern tirearms into tbe re gion. A piece of meat was nailed to the stout horizontal limb of an oak tree. From a limb Ove or six feet above a rope was suspended, to the I end of wblcb a large atone was made fast so that It bung about six inches above and a trifle nearer tbe trunk than the meat on the lower limb. i When s bear smelled the meat from afar he would climb up tbe tree and make bls way to the bait in doing so be would push tbe stone pendulum to one side. Just as be was about to fasten his teeth In the meat the stone would swing back and bang his head This would arouse the anger of the bear, and he would give the stone a aweep of bls paw which would send it swinging farther out The conse- quence was a harder bang and more anger Tbe more be struck the stone the harder be would be bit tn return until from ferocious anger be would lose bls caution and attack tbe pendu lum with all bis vigor. One powerful sweep, then bang, and bruin would be tumbled out of tbe tree to tbe rocks below, where, disabled by his fall, be would be at tbe mercy of those who set the trap whenever they chose to take him. ...
