W East of Mount Katahdin, in the heart of the Maine wilderness, lies a small ?nd lonely lake. Miles of rough eoun-" try separate it from the nearest rail road, and not even the lumberman has disturbed its solitude or marred its ?natural beauty. On every ?ide but one the great woods oem* down to the water's edge, and trees which have been reflected in this primeval mirror ?or a hundred years, at length bury their old bones in the familiar depths, But on the western side of the lake is a swale, with clumps of alders and maples,and the shore itself i's a sandy .beach, on which, early in the morn ing, there will be great ox-like tracks, so fresh that . the water has not yet filled them; and smaller hooiprint?, like those of sheep; and other tracks .that make one think a mau has walked there barefoot; and still others again-great round ones-which sug gest that the'man hada dog with bim. To the shore of this lake, one day in midsummer, came Enoch. Mitchell, ?a "timber cruiser;" and rt was these ?sigaa'of moose and deer and bear and lya'x which convinced him that be Ould find no better place for his win ier trapping. By the middle of October he and his son Joe were comfortably settled in a tight log camp, the winter's stock ?of provisions laid in and the traps out -a fine toward the mountain for sable and fisher, a line for miuk and otter along a small stream near the 'cabin, and a few-isolnted traps at like ly places along the lake shore. For two or three weeks nothing in terrupted the routine of making stretchers, "running the line," skin ning the catch and curing Jos did the cooking, washed . ' ;,oat wood and built and fires. ' But one day Soward the ventoer Mitchell started t< traps-?i tito base of the mc a?iles ?way. The trail than be had expected UFt th? necessity of repairing delayed him considerably, ?nd of the short day found good way from camp. In -missed his footing on the log which spanned Eire Mile brook, aud was plunged into the icy water to his arm pits. He pushed on as fast as possible after his ducking, but before he got borne he was chilled to the marrow and shaking like a man with the agae. The next morning he was too stiff and sore to leave the cabin. 'Tou'll have to look after my traps fora day or two," he said to Joe. ""You'd better go down along the out let this morning to the bear traps I Bet Tuesday. The first one is right behind a big spruce windfall. I cut out some branches and left the log across the trail The other one is half a mile or so farther down the trail, and set the same way, behind a windfall." '.There's big holes in both of my moccasins," said Joe, dubiously. "Take my larigans, then. You eau put on some extra stockings if they're too big." Joe started about 9 o'clock. The "larrigans" - heavy moccasins with legs reaching near.lv to the knee were large enough to make four pairs of stockings a necessity; but tho tem perature was such that comfort would hardly have been satisfied with less. Some matches, a little bread and cheese, a skinning knife and his rifle were Joe's equipment. It was a clear, still morning. Not a sound broke the silence except the crunching of the snow underfoot and now and then the rapping of a wood pecker; but all mound were signs of that abundant life of the wilderness which nature shows freely enough to her intimates. Tho sn w was criss crossed with tracks. Here a rabbit had jumped, there a fox had nosed about under the young Bpruces. Mice and squirrels and partridges had worked their intricate and lacelike pattern on the snowy fabric, and once Joe saw where a caribou had come up from the bog on oue side aud crossed the ridge to the larger bog on the other. But these were everyday matters, and the boy noticed nothing which he considered worth much attention until he reached the spruce windfall behind* which tbe first bear trap had been set. When be looked -through the opeuing his father had cut in the branches his pulse leaped. The earth and dead leaves on the other side were plowed up and ground into the snow, branches were broken off, a stump had been thrashed to pieces and scat tered about,and a broad trail led away down the old "tote road," which of fered the path of least resistance. The trap, according to the usual practice, had been chained to a clog seven or eight inches iu diameter and as many feet in length, cut from a green tree, with the branches lopped off a foot or so from the trunk; and as Joe followed the trail almost on a mr, he gathered a new sense of the strength of the game he was pursuing. When the bear had found he could not fr?r* himself, he had started on the jump, and in several places ihe clog had been lifted entirely free of the ground and jerked bodily through the air. ' In a little while, however, the pace and the weight had begun to tell, and the bear bad settled down to a walk. The clog had caught once or twice, but each time he had thrashed around till be had freed it. With his eyes fixed on the trail, Joe pushed rapidly ahead till he found his um. that follows with this explanation : "We wrn to us, but theje lines, ia spite of somo d? i promises distinction tor th?ir author."] serapes like a broken shell-.

A branch or two had been broken out in the centre, as if S'orne one had forced a passage, and instead of stopping to go around, Joe threw his leg over the trunk, squeezed his body through the opening and dropped on. the other side. The instant ni?. foot touched tTh'o ground there was a harsh rasping of steel, a vicious snap, and something seized n?3 leg with such ? crushing ! grip that he screamed with the pain i of it. The shock was so sudden that he fell flat on his face, while his rifle went flying through the air and stuck, muzzle down, in a clump of bushes. In his eagerness to come up with the bear, Joe had forgotten about the second trap, set behind the fallen hemlock, and had stepped squarely into it. As he fell,the quick rattle of a chain and an angry growl sounded in his ear, and the bear he h?d be?n pur-, suing rose, huge and hairy and black, froin the tangled mass of the tree top, hardly six feet away. The trap which had caught the be?r was fast to one of his hind legs. He ! had succeeded in forcing his way ! under the fallen hemlock.bat the clog ? had caught. The harder he had pulled, the tighter it had wedged it self, and the sharp teeth of the trap, working deeper into the flesh with every effort he made to extricate him self, had goaded him to fury. The growl and the rattle of the chain so near at hand galvanized Joe into action. With a movement half involuntary itt its suddenness, he threw-himself backward as far from il * .V.: .: liiftC Who ?9 i '? .: USO Oj !>- .? >.?:. -U -->. : . w r.i?o ... >. o> perience anu u ouung lever in order to free himself. The clog lay in a little hollow. The water had settled around it, had frozen, and now held it immovable. Joe kicked it with his free foot, but ^without effect. Every time he made a motion the bear jumped toward him, but the trap ou the brute's leg brought him up sharply each time, and there he stood, snarling like au angry dog, his wicked little eyes bloodshot and shining like beads. When the boy recovered a little from his first fright he began to think. So long as 'the clog which held the bear remained wedged in the branches of the hemlock the creature could not quite reach him. On the other hand, eo long as the clog which hold Joe re mained bedded in the ice, he could not get away from the bear. ' The pain from the trap was growing more severe, so that he could hardly keep from crying out. Nothing but the heavy lanigans and the provi dential four pairs of stockings had savad him from a broken leg. His rifle, which would have settled the matter very quickly, lay hopelessly out of reach, and there WHS,of course, the possibility that the clog which held the bear might be jerked loose at any moment. Joe drew his knife from its sheath, and with his eye on the bear began to hack at the ice" around the clog. It was slow work. The sound, or the motion of Joe's arm, seemed to irri tate the beast still further, and every few minutes he would htirl himself forward, and of course Joe would stop hacking and spring up, half involun tarily, with his weapon raised to meet the rusk Then, when the danger seemed over for the moment, the steady "chuck, chuck,." of the knife in the ice would begin again. At the end of an hour Joe had worked as near to tho bear as he dared to, and a third of the- clog still remained fast. To cut out any more, he would have to work be tween the beast's paws. The boy drew away ss far as the chain would permit and sat down on the clog to think. As he did so, some thing fell out of his pocket and rattled down with a metallic ring on the ice. It was oue of those little match boxes which woodsmen make by stopping the end of an empty 45-calibre cartridge shell with one of 44 calibre. Joe grabbed it. 4?Why didn't I think of that au hour ago!" he cried. Tn a few minutes he had broken and cut a pile of branches from the hem lock windfall and gathered all the dry wood he could reach. At the touch of a match it leaped into f imo,and he added larger and larger ?ticks until the fire burned with coi .dence and strength. As soon as the blaze shot up the bear drew back. With a stick Joe pushed the burning brnsh nearer to him, forcing him to shrink back still farther. ? Then he piled on more fuel and watched the flames devour it, in the certainty that the bear would not charge upon him while the fire burned between them, and that the heat was slowly thawing out the clog. For half an hour he fed the flames with every combustible thing he could reach. Then he crawled to the other end of the clog and lifted with ali his might. . It came np with a sharp I crack. Joe took hold pf tho chain with bis liandB to ease the pull of tho trap on his leg? and slowly hitched himself along till lie could r&abii his ?rifle. Ho drew a long, deep breath aim sat a moment with the rifle in his hands, quietly watching the. bear, Then he carefully wiped Jb^B stfow^oni the muzzle.?rawi^d out ? little farther ?oowV?3f??> wjjere the smoke of th 8 nre could not interfere with his aim, ar;? slowly drew a lead just under one1 of those little black eyes. The roar of the rifle echoed wide through the woods, and the hairy-black . masB tot tered a moment and sfettl?d ?bwii id ita tracks withbuU BJMO.., Th,ferfc ftjaS- now nothing more to |ear ?rom the bear, but Joe had still to free himself.from the trap, which by this time was causing him almost intolerable agony. He hitched him self along to a young birch tree and laboriously cut from it a section for a lever. He crawled to the butt of tho fallen hemlock, nud using it for a ful crum, tried, without succ?s&i, l? forc? down the springs ?abugh t? op?ii the jaws-., He next got more wood,replenished the fire and held the end of the trap in the flames till the cuv^e of the spring was red-hot. Then he ham mered it nearly flat with the butt of Iiis rifle'. Turning the other end to Vhe fire, he heated and hammered that iii the same way, but even then the jaws would not let go. When both these plans had failed, Joe stopped and looked the trap over carefully. As he turned it bottom np, he noticed the nuts which held the springs to the jaws, and he re membered that his father always car ried a small wrench for just auch an emergency as he was now facing. Joe had no wrench, but he had something which might serve the purpose. Turning his foot till the bottom of the trap was exposed;, h? held the muzzle Of his rifle almost against the hut ?nd fired. He threw another cartridge into the chamber and fired ? second shot and then still anotL.br. This time the nut and the end of the bolt were cut cleanly off. Tho bed of the trap dropped from the jaws, and Jbe stood again on his two legs, ner vous and sore and tired, but free. "I didn't stop to skin the bear," said Joe, when he told me the story. "It took me nearly two hours to hobble into camp, and it was only three miles. But dad went down after the pelt next day. It was all extra good one, and we got $30 for it." Then he added, with a grin, "Dad made me pay for the trap-, though,and the lanigans. I burnt a hole in them. Said it might teach me to be more careful next time."-Youth's Com panion. .... . -, . lone only the tower was left standing. On the summit of this a seed, prob ably carried there by a bird, began to grow. For several years the tree flourished, but eventually was removed to secure the safety of the tower. The Washington police have re ceived a letter from a mau of the name of C. T. Ulmann of Oakland, Cal., informing them that his name is on the United States treasury notes of the series of 1880, aud that he wants tho police to find ont the responsible person-and have him punished. The writer says the name is printed in in visible ink and eau only be seen by using a lighted caudle. He ia positive that he is the man alluded to on the treasury notes, because he is the only man on earth who is named Ulmann. He says he never was in the United States treasury in his life, and has no idea why this unauthorized use of his name should have been made. The biggest egg in the world-that of the aepyornis maximus, an extinct ' bird known by Marco Polo as the reek -sold at auction for ?210 in London recently. Madagascar is the only place where these eggs are found. Although the capacity of the egg is equal to six of those of, the ostrich, the bird itself, a skeleton of which is ? to be seen at the British Museum, is not phenomenally large, though very thick and heavy. Only some twenty specimens of the egg, which meas ures more than a foot in length and nearly a yard in circumference, are known to be in existence, so it is rarer than the ogg of the great auk. However, it did notfetoh anything like the sum paid for the latter curiosity.

The cave was found accidentally by hunters in pur suit of wild game. Its entrauce is readied by passing down a rocky ravine, but to get to the bottom of the cave a rope ladder must be used, as the distance is about thirty feet. The cave so far has been exi>lored about five miles, aud it is found to contain a succession of wonderful avenues, chambers, lake?, domes and other marvels. There is also a running Btream of water passing through the cave, which is alive with blind fish. Several were caught and placed on ex hibition here, but only lived a few days. The s eletons of several wild animals were found near the entrance to the cave, presumably those of the b?ar or wolf, a class of animals now extinct in that part of the state. Hiter the Air. Where it is desired to 'avoid black specks in paper made in the smoke laden atmosphere of a manufacturing district, the only effective remedy is the filtration ot* the air through a woven fabric of fine texture. At Schering's works, in Berlin, ,where photographic*, sensitized paper and plates ai e made, a circulation of air is. maintained by drawing in ait through cloth filters and expelling tho same through ]30werful ventilators iu the roof.

Awheel was taken off the wagon and the vchiole was turned over. The driver of tho wagon fell back in a half faint, and bo kuew it would be useless to run, oven if he had not been paralyzed with fear. The motorman was also so frightened for a.moment that hecould not back away from the wreck. One of the passengers yelled, "Dyna mite!" and they all beat a precipitate retreat, and tbere was little curiosity evinced when a new wagon was ob tained aud the dynamite was trans ferred.
