The long arctic night was breaking. Like hibernating polar bears, we had lived the winter through under cover of a great drift of snow. This served as a thick blanket for our little hut and helped to keep warm the thirty- pine shipwrecked men who had been marooned on the desert island of Ru- dolph, in the frozen wastes of the polar ref took a walk to Cape Saulen. On my way back to camp I stopped on the highest rocks of the moraine to look out toward the Ice covered sea. North: ward and westward great black steam. ing streaks In the white revealed the open water, and overhead hung dark clouds of vapor, another indication of a “lead,” or open water, underneath. Turning my eyes southward toward Teplitz bay, 1 beheld the panorama of the camp spread out before me, the hut and stable tent, the two little ob- gervatories and the numerous caches of food stores giving the appearance of an arctic village. Down In the tide crack where the ice of the bay met the fast frozen land sheet I could distin- guish the silhouette of one of my men taking a tide observation. Behind him rose a bristling ridge of Ice pinnacles, which effectually blocked his view to ward the sea. From my greater elevation I made out the form of a great polar bear crossing the rough ice toward the land. As 1 watched he reached a high cake of ice and, climbing upon It, raised himself up on his hind quarters and looked over toward the spot where Mr. Long, the observer, was at work. Then 1 realized his object. There was no one else in sight, and Long was un- armed. Could I reach camp, seize a rifle and make my way out on the bay before the bear began his attack? In the cold, crisp air I ran the mile or so toward the hut, a race that for- tunately was down grade. 1 rushed {nto the house, secured my rifle and set off as fast as my legs would carry me toward where 1 had last seen the bear. Usually the dogs at camp thought it great sport to join In such a chase, but this time they crouched around the hut, whining and whimpering and re- fusing to follow as I ran past them with my rifle. I soon came up to Long and, warning him to look out for the approaching bear, of which he was still all unconscious, proceeded at re- duced speed, as the ice was now very rough, in the direction of the advanc- ing beast. As [ was crossing the top of the first pressure ridge I saw the bear coming my way. He caught sight of me at the same moment, raised him- self on his haunches to get a better One day, after a flurry of storm, 1} i i i | | | i { | | i { view, and then started in a lope over : the ice cakes in my direction. I raised my carbine, took a quick sight and pulled the trigger. Instead of the usual quick snap and explosion 1 felt the slow, gummy motion of the bolt that told me that the lock was frozen. In cleaning the gun a few days before I must have left some oil in the lock. I worked the bolt back and forth, trying to warm up the mechanism by friction, the great bear climbing rapld- ly and surely over the broken ice cakes toward me all the while. Once more I pulled the trigger. The unexpected happened, and the cartridge exploded, but in my haste, although so close, 1 made a clear miss. However, the flash and the report must have frightened the beast, for he made off. I climbed in pursuit, but on account of the heavy ice did not see him again until he had placed about 200 yards between us and was still ge- ing with great leaps in the direction of the open sea. I aimed and fired just as he leaped between two great ridges. This time ke fell in a heap. With the bear's fall the dogs set us such a howling, bark- ing and yelping as I had seldom heard, even from that noisy pack. Every dog in eamp now started for the fallen king. The bullet had gone through bis back, paralyzing his hind quarters, but he was able to swing around on the flat floe and deal fearful blows with his great fore paws. But the combat was too unequal. One more bullet and Colleges & Schools. the great bear was beyond all further The men from camp had now ar- rived, and the dogs were caught and harnessed to a sledge. Upon it we | lashed the carcass of the bear and then, cutting a trail back to land, hauled our load to the hut, a welcome addition to the larder for men and dogs.—Anthony Frala In Youth's Com- panion.

Drytown, Cal., Dec. 2.—Eleven min- ers are imprisoned by a fire in the Fremont-Gover gold mine, and it is feared that they have perished. When the first skip containing 13 men was lowered in the Fremont shaft, reaching the 1000 foot level, volumes of smoke were encountered, showing that the mine was on fire. The skip became jammed at this point and could neither be hoisted nor lowered. It is supposed to have been thrown off the track by one of the men being overcome by smoke and falling against the front 1000 Feet Under | | STEEL PLANT PERILS. {| Recklessness a Psychological Factor That Must Be Considered. Recklessness Is certainly a psycholog- feal characteristic of men in steel | plants. All tradition teaches them to | be reckless. The very example of their superiors teaches them to be reckless. | The assistant superintendent of the | plant that the Illinols Steel company waintains at Joliet stepped on an un- protected gear and lost his leg just \ after he had warned nis men not to | be guilty of any such culpable negll- | gence of thelr own safety. 1 am will- | ing to admit the existence of culpable | negligence altogether apart from the | negligence of the company. And not ! ouly that, but I am also willing to give | a specific fllustration. 1 was standing one day on the plat- form of a blast furnace. All at once, unexpectedly, 1 heard the four whistles that indicate danger. There was a | “hang” in the furnace. The whirling. eddying mass of ore, coke and lime- | stone in the high interior of that fur- | nace had got caught somewhere, some- how. and was refusing to come down. | When it did come down there would | be a crash and perhaps an explosion. | 1 ran and got behind a brick pillar. | On coming into the plant that morning | 1 had signed a plece of paper, just the | same kind of a plece of paper that ev- jo visitor signs, saying that 1 would not hold the Illinois Steel company re- sponsible for anything that might hap- pen to me. I reflected that nobody | would profit by my demise. But ob- serve what the other men around that blast furnace did! I could see them as 1 peered out from behind my brick pillar. Those of The Venus de Mile. It 1s questionable whether the real Greek woman of that immortal epoch when sculpture meant something more than a decorative end to am architectu- ral means possessed the chaste lovell- ness accredited to her in the chiseled remnants left to us. It has ever been the whim of artists to work away from the physical facts of their models to- ward the ideals of thelr fancy. The sculptor is usually a proudly careless historian and but a poor reporter. All | Greek sculpture doubtless Is a highly glorified record of true Greek eth- | nology; but, granting such a woman as, say, the Venus de Milo did exist in all her bodily and facial perfection, she would meet with but cold reception at the hands of our critics of feminini- ty today. Her modern women asso- clates would, I am certain, adjudge the classic lady a frump. Ideals change with the centuries if nature does not. —Perriton Maxwell in Bohemian.
