Tho Silver City (Mont.) correspond ent of tho Cincinnati Eii'uirsr sends the following remarkable tale: There mountains are as rich i:i ad ventures ns they an in quartz-ruck and big bowlders, ho writ. hice ia awhile one of the first i-i heard of beyond Its iinmediato participants jtts.t as the quartz now and then shows up a silver vein to the persistent inquisitive miner. Some of these have been duly chroni cled, but not the tenth part of tho-e which have happened, even within easy reporlorial reach, have been heard of by me. A few days ago I lank Slicer. an old hunter, who fought the Indians Ion; before he came up into the mountains ten years ao. dropped into our little mining camp, casually. as it wen. The old man is garrulous, after he has taken on about a half a dozen throo-tinger dose of linurbou. and ho told half a dozen beautifully tinted stories of life in the mountain.. That is, the stories were roM-colored a man with strong imagination and a slight, prejudice :igaitir.t Hank miglit say they were "lurid." All of them were highly entertaining. Fortunately ho had collateral evidence of the truth of sotno of them, though no one ever disputed any .statement by Hank Slicer unless Hank was cither asleep or out of sight and tolerably certain not to re turn for some time. One of his stories I shall give. Its a pitv it cannot be given verbatim and with all the orna ments of adjective and expletive, gest ure and facial contortion with which it was duly embellished by the old man. Hut to do so would require a special font of type with several new characters. Stripped of all disguises the story is about as follows: Slicer has spent the summer ramped on a spur of the mountains, thirty or forty miles from here, known a Ilig Tree Mountain. This spur is a wide one. and has many lovely little valleys and chnrinitig nooks. Its chief chnnu in old Hank's eyes, however, was the fact that its valleys and glen are the chosen feeding ground of the deer, and that its many pellucid si reams are chock-full of the finest trout. With Hank was an old Indian, a half-breed. who. of course, took along his squaw and her incumbrance.-, a rather briglft. copper-colored girl of fourteen or fif teen, three or four smaller fry. their number, ages and sc.-c being quite im material. "Untitling Antelope" was his tribal name, though Hank always culled him "Half-breed Jim" when re ferring to him in tnix-d society of which the latter was not a part. The two had kuotvn each other and camped together off and on for a score or more of years. This summer they must have had a particularly royal and hilarious time, with the squaw to do their cook ing, the kids to do the chores, venison uteaks running free and thick in their outdoor pantry, and trout fairly crowd ing around every hook that was thrown into tho streams. Such a statu of affairs means beatitude itself to an Indian family and an old Rocky Moun tain hunter, and that it was enjoyed oes without saying. One day, just about tho time of our warmest weather here, when the black berries in the scattered brier patches were luxuriantly ripe, old Hank bud lazily strolled out with his gun and dog, ready for any thing which might cross his path. Nothing showed up. however the day was an exceedingly sultry one ia August and the old nun had turned his face toward camp, and was within two Miles of it. when he came out upon a little opening on a southern exposure that was fairly well net in blackberry bushes, now bending under loads of ripe berries. They were tempting, and the old fellow leisurely browsed along the edge of the patch for some distance, picking only the biggest and ripest berries as he went. His dog had tnally made a lazy excur sion a little further down the hill to the right, aosiag about in a perfunctory way and keening half an eye on his master as he slowly moved along. The day was as calm as a Sabbath in Eden; the heat was just enough to be relaxing; the air was soft and resinous aadslumberprorokiag. The old man moved slower and more and more felt an iaclinattoa to lie down and take a nap. He cast a glance ahead and saw that ai the iurthec aide of the brier mUeb was a yawaiag canyon, perhaps ft ve hundred feet deep, that seamed the itnasMefora long distance. Of the must retrace his steps. He todese. But the invitation 'it nature to take a siesta was almost irre sjttihhj He had just picked out a nice spot iz vrLie'i to surrender a bit of ; thick green :ao.s under the shade of a tree and a the side of a big bowlder when he was startled into' life and the utmost- activity by a sdroatn. unmistakably f-oni a fenn'.e thro.it. and pitched at a keynoteof ;ho utnt03t ter ror. He turned t v&g& the farther side of the iatrh. Taere ha saw the biiahe in u itnte of violent agitation at two points, a sligii tig-ire inflight ami ab'ir black oae ia hot jctrtiiii. while tho -ervMHis k -.: uj. :i:d minge.-J with them were fanny, short, sharp little yelp- and a queer sub-cellar bit--, ejacu lation that .eaie.l half howl and half roir. It wai impoibl. for half a iaitrte to tell what trie mischief was tip. and the old man. who had instinctively started toward the scone of the commo tion at the first soun 1, kpt hi weather eye wide opvn and L finger upari the the trigger of his Winchester. Pre sently the figure of the screamer emerged from the brier biish-s. and j -.till under full headway, da-hed ov.ir the open ground, covered with mo-,-y ro'k-. tint led to the cd- of the canyon and Hank saw that it was I'apita. the fiften-y ear-old daughter of old H:tlf breed Jiui. lit ing for dar life from a big cinnamon bear that wi. fairly in ik ing a -wath through th brier, in pur suit, and wa. now not more than two ro.is behind h r. Uoth were going as if th Old I!ar-y wa- .if:.r them. aui. of cv::-.e. it all happ tii-dalm jst ia tlii Jlasu of a:t eye. i'rom t'le rcklcs way in which th j girl ran tow ird the edge of th" cmyo.i oid Hank wa sure she either didn't ,:u cv it was there or wa-. ."rlghtcn-d that she hi I forgoi teu it. Instinctively he called out "Lookout thar. IV-t!' th" mime by which the girl win known to him. It was too late. The iirl did try to chvl: her .pe d or t turn to one side. iiuui cjutii nor oe cr'atn wir.cn. tie -saw her cist a glai.ee over hr shoulder. cat-j a glimpse of the great, angry b'a-t behind lier. wne blood red eye-, Iook"d death at her. and who-e hot breath blew out thread of thick spume that almost reached h"i. She was then but a steo from the edge of th pr-cipice. With a gesture of do-pair the girl threw up her arm- a sji plunged forward, and leaping high into the air. sh j cleared the brink and disappeared into the yawn ing depths of the dark canyon with a wild shriek that fairly made the hunter's blood rm thick with cold horror. H" was near enough to hear h"f body strike and break the limbs of i tree waoe top v..u. ju-t vistoie irom where he stood, and then go. bumping ! and rolling djwn the rocky, almo-t perpendicular i 1" of. the canyon. The whole thing wa- begun and over so q iekly. aid w;is . entirely un exp vted and out of the common, tli.it old i Hank stood motionless for:', few second-, duri.ig which tim : the bear ii'id baited by bracing tin his haunehe and i"n:rl scooting along on the mos. cove.-ed rock, sWppitig at the brhilf and looking stupidly over at the abyss that had cheated it out of it., prey. Just b'hind th b,ar came two cubs waddling atonif comically enough. every now and th"it making the funny little yelp that had at first be-n heard. Tln sight of them recalled the old man to himsctf. lp went hi. rill., and he was just pulling tile trigger uhen he remembered that if he .shot the bir the carcass miM fall over into the canyon and be lo-t. With a muttered curse, for the sijrht of poor P.ipita's death had m-ule him bloodthirsty, he lowered the gun. to await the moment when the bcir should turn around. Ittst th n occurred one of those un expected thing.- for which neither man nor bear is ever prepared. .A mountain oak grew near where the bear stood and a little back from the precipice. A great limb stretched out toward the canton, and from it descended by a tremendous ypriuga long, dark animal, lithe and sin-wy. which lit full upon tlie shoulders of the unconscious bear with a thud. The shock was ;i heavy one. and the re-ult mu-t have been al most as great a surprise to the big mountain lion for such the newcomer was -as to the b-'ar. Tlie impetus car ried both animals over the brink, and at nearly the e.caet spot where the girl had disappeared a few seconds liefore. An instant biter the sounds of a terri ble conrtiet rose from the depths into which they Isad plunged, mingled with the hotrse growls of the bear and the wild, e.ir-piercing cries of the moun tain lion. Hank ran to tho spot and peered over. As he did so the cubs slunk away into the bushes, and for once the veteran hunter didn't so much as look after a pair of fine voting bears. What he saw below htm he can best tell him self: "I never seed such a sight u my born days, nor hecrd sich a growlin'. ner kem acrosi sich a clawin an seratchin'; y see. th' varmints hed struck th sidelin' trunk uv .& tree what growed a piece below, "n" it kinder throwed "em catawumpus like back to'rd th' hill, 'stid o' down into the canton. n they'd lit in a sorter little flat spot atween th tree V the hill V got wedged in thar. both flat on ther sides 'a' so clost tergether they cud n't git out noways jess like packed la a box.

ARTIFICIAL COLO-AIR. liitii.i- to llr CiMtto'l In summer by Frost That riiinn Tlirtiusli i'ir. Th" mamtfacture of cold is likely to become n larg industry. Karlier ef forts in the production tif cohl were toward the manufacture of ice. letter improvements were in the line of cool- "i-'-roocH. wliere products could be ' stored without the Use of ice. Th: ? metiiod hits been in successful ooer.i- tion .or .omo time in large paukitig- Iiotisi's. It is less trouolesome anil less j vpiisive than ice. but the proems in volves the use of brine with ammonia and a large outlay of mouet for a plant. This process is elbctive only in largo concerns, and is limited to the produc tion of moderately cold air. with the objectionable feature of dampness. The newest process of refrigerating produces a dry. cold air that carries tlie thermometer many degrees below freeing point, and this degree of cold can be produced so cheaply und i.s so thoroughly under control that the world is promised the luxury of frost as cheap as heat or light. The concern in Chicago which controls this proeo-s is located on the West Side in a pre tentious building. In one room they distill the ammonia, reducing tho re fuse product from th" gas house to a pure liquid. This ammonia, known in the trade as anhydrous ammonia, ilnws in pipes to the cooliug-ro m.. This pipe outers the rooms and la distrib uted about the sides like ordinary steam pip"s. The liquid ammonia is prevented front entering the pipes in the rooms, but through a faucet the gus or vapor which rises from the liquid ammonia passes into the pipes in the room. This vapor is what pro duces cold, and the degree desired is regulated by the amount of vapor that is allowed to pass through the pipes. The gas or vapor returns to the distil- liug-room with its freezing properties exhausted, and is made again into an hydrous ammonia, and is again used for freezing put'iuise. Fruits are stored in a room cooled to the temperature of forty degrees. Meats for use in the near future are in rooms a little cooler, and game and delicate fishes for winter use are in the coldest room. In this department tho thermometer registers twenty degrees below zero, and the game birds and fishes are frozen as hard and dry as it would be possible to freeze them in the dry cold air outdoors. The practical uses to which this method may be put do not end with cooling and freezizg rooms in a large establishment, for this pure liquid ammonia maybe drawn oo and carried to a residence in a receptacle some thing like a soda fountain, and from this the gas can be forced through a pipe In a refrigerator and make that storehouse as cold as may be desired. So far the process has not been used by families to any extent, but the pro duction of the liquid ammonia is a mat ter of such trifling cost that a raid on the good housewife's kitchen is contemplated, and the company promise that the family refrigerator shall be furnished with dry, cold air cheaper than ice and serve the pur pose better. Instead of the daily call of the icemaa the cold air fellow wilt come around ouee in eight or tea days with his little tank of frost-producer, and after connecting it with the refrig erator pipe carry away with him the old tank of exhausted ammonia. It is still further proposed to extend the usefulness of this process by mak ing it a means of cooling residences. Pipes may be laid in the streets just as gas pipes are now laid, and as the liquid ammonia will not frees it may be run into a residence just as gas is. and during the warm weather, instead of sweltering in a hot room the hoase Thelder may turn a faucet and let the ammonia vapor circulate through the pipes around the ceiling of the room. o one aeea newer tn his aoase or office from heat when this pomt hae bean reached any more than he need now suffer indoors from colds.
