I
The natives of Tatitlek are at pres
ent engaged in hunting for brown
bears, Dr. Counsel, of Cordova, who
is agent for a museum, offering them
$26 for a male, $16 for a female, and
$6 to $1 for the head of a cub. The
natives state that when they kill a
brown bear they cut off the head and
place it on a rock or adjacent ele
vation with the eyes looking away
from the camp of the hunter. This is
done to prevent the other bears from
seeing the hunters approach, the na
tives believing that the spirit of one
bear goes into another when killed.

USING A MEDICINE DROPPER.
Ths More Slanting It la Hald tha Big
gar tha Drops Will Bs.
When using a medl< ine dropper It Is
Important to use it correctly, especial
ly If measuring out drops of some
powerful medicine like strychnine,
morphine or arsenic, for drops vary
widely in their size.
Dr. it. P. <«arroiv of London recently
reported to the Lulicet the results of
tome experiments he liud made with
a medicine dropper und a simple solu
tion. He measured the solution very
carefully and then took it ull up Into a
medicine dropper, from widt h he turn
ed It, drop by drop, holding tlie drop
per ut different angles und counting
the drops as they fell.
With the dropper held vertically (at
an angle of 00 degrees with the hori
zontal) Its contents made 100 drops.
HoJd at an angle of 00 degrees its con
tents made eighty-two drops; ut 20 de
grees they made sixty-eight droiis, at
10 degrees they made sixty drops, and
held horizontal they made only forty
eight drops.
In other words, the drops become
progressively larger as the dropper 1b
moved from the vertical position. A
drop from a dropper held at uu angle
of 00 degrees is one-quarter larger than
normal; thus, if the nurse has to give
sixteen drops und holds the dropper
slanting she is really giving twenty.
And the more slanting the dropjier the
bigger the drops.
FALLS ONLY TO RISE.
An Experiment With a Sort of Perpet
ual Motion Effect.
A novel experiment In tbe demon
stration of perpetual motion la to be
performed simply. A glass beaker
about six Inches high and four Inches
In diameter Is tilled with water to the
height of about four and a half Inches,
and two and one-half to three ounces
of commercial aniline are added, which
will sink to the bottom of the vessel.
Tbe temperature of the beaker and
its contents is now raised to 170 or 175
degrees F. by means of a burner, when
it will be observed that the aniline will
rise to the surface of tbe water, from
which It will hang In a mass of curved
outline. Almost immediately the sus
pended aniline commences to alter In
shape, and gradually a large drop an
inch or more in diameter detaches It
self from tbe mass and falls through
the water.
And now, the detached drop having
fallen to the bottom of the beaker,
comes tbe surprising part of the ex
periment. Tbe fallen drop la seen grad
uafly to rlae to the surface, where It
joins the mass from which It previous
ly broke away. At once another drop
commences to form and, having be
come detached, falls and rises In the
same manner ns tbe previous drop.
80 long as the temperature of tin
water is maintained at 170 degrees or
over this procedure continues.
The Chinee* “Five King*."
"The Five Kings’’ Is the name of the
sacred book In which Is Incorporated
the religion of the Chinese as well as a
great number of other peoples of the
orient. The doctrine is a complex sys
tem of moral, social, political and reli
gious teaching built up by Confucius
on the ancient Chinese traditions, and
although its author lived more than
five centuries before the birth of-Christ,
It is still perpetuated as tbe state reli
gion of the Chinese down to tbe pres
ent day. Confucianism is a religion
without positive revelation, with a
minimum of dogmatic teaching, whose
popular worship Is centered In offer
ings to the dead. In which the notion
of duty is extended beyond the sphere
of morals proper so as to embrace al
most every detail of dully life.
Philippine Fruits.
There have been found In the Philip
pines two fruits entirely unknown to
Europe and even to America. One of
these is the durian, which grows on a
lofty tree somewhat resembling an
elm, is about as large as a cocoanut,
has a shiny shell and contains a
creamy pulp' which combines some of
the flavors of delicious custard with
those of a fine cheese. American sol
diers In the Philippines have dubbed
the durian the "vegetable llmburger.”
The other rare fruit is the mangosteen;
but the exquisitely flavored liquid it
contains has not yet been successfully
preserved for shipping abroad.
Not the Right Brand.
"I must request the congregation to
conUlbiRe generously this morning,”
■kM the Rev. Mr. Smallfee sadly. "My
stipend is eight months in arrears,
and my creditors are pressing. 1, of
course, work largely for love, and love
squally, of course, Is tender, but It Isn't
legal tender.”—London Telegraph.
Gqing to Extremes.
“I tell you what,” said Gotham, en
tertaining his western cousin, “every
thing is so high here It’s almost im
possible to keep a house going.”
“Well," replied the cousin, “the winds
ere so high out our way it's almost
Impossible to keep a house from going.”
—Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.
Flag of the Chinee* Republio.
The flag of the Chinese republic
shows five equal horizontal stripes—
red, yellow, blue, white and black,
reading downward. The red stripe at
the top stands for China proper, the
fellow for Manchuria, the blue for
Mongolia, the white for Tibet and
he black for Turkestan.
A Sign.
"She must be getting old.”
‘‘What makes you think sol"
“She’s begun telling folks how young
he was when she married.”—Detroit
rree Press.
