that the silver tip is the king of the

color, which, at a di-tance and in a
snow-"overed country, might readily
be mistaken for white bears whose coat
of fur badly needed a bath. In one
-place, sfier cominir noon a so-called
white bear, the journal describe him
as po-es-iner small black eyes (almost
like jet beads), a hide of bright yellow
ish brown, the front of the fore-legs
near the feet being quite black, and
the animal itself of a ferocious and
-warlike nature. Thi- description of
the white bear of 1801-5 tallies with
the cinnamon bear of 1S37. which
makes him about the same uirly cu
tomer that he was a. hundred years
ago. There are few black bears in
this immediate vicinity, most of them
inhabiting the western slope of the
Itocky Mountains and the forests that
thence continue to trie Pacific Ocean.
The woods of Oregon and Washing

He seldom descends from his mountain

fall back upon a diet of pork. beef,

that more bears have been seen thts

quite a number of cattle have been

a big silver tip came down out of the
mountains one nirht. invaded the hog
pasture of that industrious ranchman,
and in a very short time laid out no
less than thirty line porkers. The hogs
squealed, made a great fuss, of course,
and as long a 5 there was a show of resist
ance the bear never stopped boxing their
ears. One blow of his mighty paw was
enough to kill a hog. and there is no
telling where he would have stopped
had he not been interrupted in this
pleasant pastime.
The graybaek of the Rockies is rather
a dillerent brute from his cousin of the
Adirondacks and the Pennsylvania
hills. Perhaps the Eastern members
of this interesting family never weigh
more than four hundred or live hun
dred pounds, but out this way many of
the grizzlies and silver tip caught
have touched the beam at one thousand
and twelve hundred pounds and even
greater. Mr. Charle Soper. of Boze
nian. a thriving city a short distance
west of here, is said to have shot one of
the largest graybaek:; ever seen in the
West. The hide was something tre
mendous. The beast having been
killed late in the fall, at a time when
he was plentifully supplied with -bear's
grease." it would not be wide of the
mark to estimate his weight when alive
at sixteen hundred pounds. Certainly
the enormous hide justified these lig
ures. and the claws and head preserved
would justly entitle him to the credit
of being the father of the family.
A a proof of the widom of the old
hunter's warning about "going in arter
bear alone.' the following narrative ,
will best illustrate hs truthfulness:
"A party of gold hunters started out
from Deadwood some years ago to
prospect the country to tiie north and
west of that mining camp. The men
in the party were old timers.' with
one or two exceptions, and among the
latter was a Swede, full of grit, who
-tood nearly seven feet in his stockings.
j The Swede, however, whoc familv
name was Franck. was by no means a
tenderfoot. having dwelt some time in
the Leadville mining camp and boasted
that he had killed 'bar in hi- day.' and
was afraid of no four-footed critter
that roamed the mountains. The
party of twelve were climbing a sleep
mountain, darkness was coming on.
and prospects of a supperles night were
in view, when the seven-foot Scandina
vian volunteered to push on ahead in
the hopes of securing an elk. deer, or
mountain sheep. The foreigner was a
good shot with his rifle, had plenty of
grit and courage, and his immense
strength and powerful physique ren
dei'ed it extremely improbable that he
would find his match in the timber
ahead. The hunter disappeared, and
the others. toiled on behind, climbing
the steep ascent wearily and footsore.
At one place the road wound around a
steep precipice, the sheer descent of the
cut basaltic walls on the left being
something like a thousand feet. Far
below the tops of giant pines could be
discerned, but in the awful depth they
appeared like stunted shrubs .and
bu-hes. Near the summit and to the
right the free land broadened or
widened out. and this wa covered
with a dense growth of willows and
stunted pine, from which proceeded
the inu-t awful grwn tilings and howls
imaginable. Just as the part appeared
on the top all at once out from the
stubble came retreating the big Swede,
followed by an enormous silver tip,
who was driving him slowlv backward
toward the edge of the precipice. The
man was bleeding badly, nearly all of
one side of his face being torn away,
the result of a wicked blow from the
huge paw of the vicious monster. The
bear, on the other hand, was quits as
badly wounded as his antagonist. His
head was a mass of gore, the lower jaw
was simply hanging by a few shteds.
and one of his hind legs was
broken. The Swede was backing sloiv
Iy. holding in his light hand n large
hunting knife, which every second lie
would plunge to the hilt in the shoulder
of his shaggy foe. At one thrust of the
Swede the bar caught him fairly witb
a return whack of his monstrous paw
that must have broken the man's arm,
for he quickly transferred the blade to
his left hand, and gave back blow for
blow as best he could. The denoue
ment came so suddenly that the horror
stricken comrade could render no pos
sible assistance. Even had they started
on a run. they could not have reached
their friend in time, and to risk a shot
with a ritle would have been just as
dangerous to the Swede as to the bear. ,
Step b- step the man was forced back.
intil he hung almost upon the edge of
he precipice. There seemed no hope
,r him unless he could assume the ag-
ressive in turn, and this could not be
one, as the man was doing his utmost, '
and still the silver tip was getting the
better of the fight. All at once the des
perate animal raised his huge paw and
brought it down with a territic force
ujxm the head of the man. The scalp
was torn away by this lat stroke and
the poor feilow was blinded by his own
blood. Again the bear struck him,
and the Swede tottered on the brink
with nothing in reach to lay his hands
on by which he might save himself.
Evidently with the desperation of death
staring him in the face Franck did the
only thing possible under the circum
stances. As he was swaying backward
and ready to go over he threw from him
the useless knife, and, in despair of all
hope, madly clutched the beast around
the neck with both arms. The force of
the last onslaught carried the animal
too far. for the next moment both the
silver tip and the man. in that awful
embrace of death, went rolling over
the frightful precipice together and
were dashed into an unrecognizable
mass on the rocks and pines hundreds
of feet below. Franek's rille was found
in a bunch of quaking uspens, broken
short off at the stock. There were no
cartridges in the chamber, which
proved that the seven-footer had
certainly exhausted his magazine be
fore drawing his knife, and that after
he had shot all his shells the silver tip
had insisted upon lighting at close
quarters, which accounts for the broken
stock aud verifies the probability of the
man clubbing his gua when the mad
dened beast rushed upon him. It was
late in the fall when the encounter
occurred, probably at a time when the
nionster was heavily equipped with fat,
and, of course, the long keen knife
vould have to pass through a thick
layer of "blubber" before encounter
ing a vital part. Fort Keogh (J. 2'.)

THRILLING ADVENTURE.
S. Fuwui Sptirtatitairs Narrow Escape
from an Enrased Panther.
How it feels to find one's self in the
jaws of a panther is that kind of knowl
edge which most people are well con
tent to acquire at second-hand. Prol
ably all men would not have tiie same
sensations, but this is the account which
Odonel Barras gives of such an ex
p?rience. He was a born sportsman,
ami, of course, could enjoy many
things which to ordinary persons would
Stem any thing but pleasant:
The panther came for me with light
ning bound. I could see nothing, ow
ing to it tremendous speed, but a
-hadowy-looking form with two large,
bright, round eye fixed upon me with
an unmeaning stare, as it literally flew
toward me. Such was the vision of a
moment! My presence ot mind did
not desert me. I raised my gun and
tired with all the care I could at such
short notice. But I missed, and the
panther landed, light as a feather, with
its arn round 1113- shoulders. Thus
we stood for a few seconds, and I dis
tinctly felt the animal sniffing for my
throat. Mechanically I turned my
head so as to keep the thick, wadded
curtain of my helmet-cover in front of
the creature's muzzle: but still I could
hear and feel plainly the rapid yet
cautious efforts it was making to find an
opening, so an to tear open the jugular
vein.
I was helpless, and so stood perfectly
still, well knowing that Saudford would
liberate me. if possible. At the first
onslaught we were so placed that he
could have hit the panther only by
tiring through me, which would have
been injudicious, at least. As may
easily be supposed, the animal did not
spend much time in investigating the
nature of a wadded hat-cover, and. be
fore my friend could take aim without
jeopardizing my own life, the beast
pounced on my left elbow, taking a
piece out. and buried its long, sharp
fangs in the joint till they met. At the
same time I was hurled to the earth
with such force that I knew not how I
got there nor what became of my gun.
Still, throughout, I maintained a clear
impression of what was going on.
I knew that I was lying on the ground
with the panther on top of me, and I
could feel my elbow-joint wabbling in
and out as the brute ground its jaw3,
with a movement imperceptible to the
bystanders, but which felt to me as
though I was being violently shaken
all over. Nov.-1 listened anxiously for
the report of Sandford's shot, which I
knew would be heard immediately, and
carefully refrained from making the
slightest sound or movement, lest his
aim should be disturbed thereby. In a
few seconds the loud and welcome de
tonation, which from its proximity al
most deafened me, struck upon my ear.
I sat up. I was free! the panther
gone! I looked round and found that
I wa some distance from the place
where I had fallen, so that the beast
must have dragged me some little way.
Sandford. ns soon as he had got thti
chance, had placed the muzzle of his
rille to the side of my antagonist and
tired a large bullet right through it.

"The Baby from the Tropics Prore to Be a
4.1'nmjr Little tVlIow.
The unpleasant idea that must arise
in the mind of a visitot-to the gorilla
which has been comfortably housed in
the Zoological Society's gardens.
Regent's Park, will probably be that
he ought to be spoken of as our young
relation. The missing link, it is true,
may yet be wanting, but it is humiliat
ing to be forced, fter watching the
newcomer, and the Chimpanzee Sally,
in the next cage, to the conclusion that
the hairy creatures behind the bars
and the nineteenth-century people in
front of them have much in common.
Our young gorilla is, of course, at
present, the curiosity par excellence at
the Zoo. This is his indisputable right,
because of his rarity.
The successful prolongation of Chim
panzee Sally's life to the fourth year
gives hope that the gorilla may abo be
kept in the laud of the living to be
petted, admired, argued about and to
be called (to its face) a great troglo
dyte and an anthropomorphous ape.
Our young gorilla does not. so far, im
press us as being of a happy or con
tented disposition. Small wonder, in
deed, is there for hi melancholy. He
voyaged from the Gaboon in a wretched
box with scarce room to move, and
arrived from Liverpool at the Zoologi
cal Gardens terribly knocked about,
and, of course suffering from a cold
that it was feared would be the fore
runner of that pulmonary disease
which so generally proves fatal to the
tropic-born anthropoids. The chim
panzee, coming also from gorilla land,
hail been very good practice for Mr.
Bartlett, who accordingly nursed the
gorilla with almost parental care, and
has had the satisfaction of seeing him
recover health aud in some measure
become reconciled to his captivity. The
auiiv.al has all the characteristic marks
of the true gorilla, aud it is a great
advantage to the natural-history
student to have the importunity of
making comparison between him and
the chimpanzee. Which of the two is
most human in appearance will
probably be a matter of opinion.
Sally is tame, and even playful. She un
derstands what her keeper says to her,
and has been taught by him to count
straw's up to live. She is fond of being
noticed and will thrust out her paw,
with its long filbert naiK to grasp the
hand of a stranger. The gorilla as
yet will make friends with none, but
he will occasionally be tempted at the
sight of a bunch of grapes to come
forward and sulkily pick up and eat
the fruit thrown in among the straw. By
and by he may emerge from his sullen
tit and permit himself to be handled
like his distant relative next door.
After all. he is, being three years of
age, but a baby, and there is ample
time for tho ameliorating influences of
kind treatment (not to mention the
courses of bananas, grapes, and an
occasional pineapple to which he is
meanwhile treated) to soothe his savage
and remarkably broad breast. Sally is
more human, at least in her diet, than
the gorilla,, for she has no objection to
meat, and will tear to pieces and make
very short work with a pigeon. The
gorilla's appetite has naturally to be a
good deal humored in these early days,
when the luscious fruits and berries of
his native forests have not been qnite
forgotten. The atmosphere of the
house in which these large apes reside,
which is 011 the north side of the
gardens (opposite the kangaroos), is
kept at about seventy degrees, and the
cages of both gorilla and chimpanzee
are roomy apartments, furnished as
appropriately as can be expected
under the circumstances. The gorilla
will mostly be found crouched upon
the straw at the remote end of his
house, with his arms clasped behind
his head, and the stolid expression of
his flat face and dark eyes expressive
of a settled gloom. There i in his
demeanor at such times a real touch
of nature that makes him kin with all
who have been unhappy. The young
naturalist who studies this young
specimen should supplement his visit
to the gardens by another to the
Natural If i story Museum, where a
stuffed adidt .specimen will be found.

Who Strtck Billy Patterson.
AlKmt fort years ago, at one of the
medical colleges of this country, the
students had a trick of hazing every
new man who entered the institution.
They would secure him hand aud foot,
carry him before a mock tribunal, and
there try him for some high crime with
which they charged him. He would be
convicted, of course and sentenced to
be led to the block and decapitated.
A student named William Patter
came along in time, and was put
through the court and sentcm-cd in
the usual solemn and impressive man
ner. He was blindfolded and led to
the block, and his neck placed in po-i-liim.
The executioner swung his axe
and buried it in the block, allowing it,
to be sure, to go nowhere near Patter
son's head. The students laughed
when the trick was at an end, but Pat
terson wa dead. He had died from
what medical men call shock. All the
students were put under arrest, and
tire question arose, "Who struck Billy

that nobody struck him, but the medi
