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.

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.
