A Case of Frantic Heroism.
We sometimes hear thrilling ac
counts of men being bitten in the jun
gle far from such elaborate assistance,
and of chopping off the injured limb
with a sword in frantic heroism; but
one at least of such incidents is
authentic within the writer's knowl
edge. The Eastern Bengal Railway
runs due north from Calcutta, aud
after a couple of junctious reaches
Darjeeling, on the Himalayas. Near
Calcutta the stations are pretty close
together, but after forty miles or so,
they are more apart. At these places
coal sheds are erected near the line in
case the supply runs short ou the
journey. One dark aud dismal night,
when tho wind was Lo vling aud tho
rain just turning to a drizzle after a
terrific tropical downpour, the eugine-1
driver of a train—who, by tho way,
was au Euglishman, as in fact they
mostly are on Indian railways—was
ho'lpiug the stoker to shovel some coal
from tho shed to the tender, when
suddbuly he felt a sharp paiu oil his
finger. On a light being brought, a
huge cobra was revealed coiled up ou
top of tho coals, with its head erect
and hood expanded. Driven to that
refuge from the rain, it had launched
forth at the driver wheu he had
reached for tho coal. What was he to
do iu that howliug wilderness? There 1
was no time to lose; a few seconds '
more, and the poison would mount up
beyond his reach. He thought of
cutting off the arm—but with what?
He had no instrument. True, he
might lay it on the line and ask tho
stoker to drive the train over it. But
what if the arm still dangled by a line
of flesh, thin, but, yet enough to com
municate the poison? Aud how to
stop the subsequent flow of blood?
These thoughts flashed through his
mind faster than it takes to write
thom. Suddenly, clenching his teeth
in frantic determination, he jumped
on to the eugine, flung the furuaco
open, aud thrust his arm into the
fire. There, like a modern Scievola,
he held it till it was burnt down to
the elbow; then he faiuted. Tho
stoker took the train to the next sta
tion, whore the injured mau was
troated temporarily, and afterwards
brought down to Calcutta, where he
finally recovered.
Doc and Goat Help to Kill o Bear.
There is a bear skin hanging on the
Sheffer barn, near Mill Rift, Piko
County, Tenu., and thereby hangs the
tale of a heroic dog and an invincible
goat. For the sake of unity it must
also be recorded that the veuerable
Mrs. Sheffor aud au axe were in at
Bruin's death.
Mrs. Sheffer was liaugiug out the
clothes. She had her mouth aud her
apron full of clothespins, aud was put
ting a freshly boiled shirt ou the
clothesline behind tho house, when
she saw a dark shadow on a sheet near
by, aud a warm breath blew upon her
check.
She turned and saw a bear balancing
himself on his hind legs. She uttered
a pierciug shriek, and the bear
dropped to all fours and started in
pursuit. Mrs. Shetfer reached the
bouse and closed the door behind
her.
Around the corner of the house
came "Dick," the brindfe bulldog,and
from the rear sped "Bill," the goat.
That bear felt a violent blow. He
turned to avenge t'uo indignity. Sharp
teeth fastened in his throat and a dog
swung to and fro like a pendulum.
The bear brushed his paws down the
dog's sides uud shook him off.
Then he saw before him a white
and black object, which lowered its
head. There was a collisiou, and the
bear, dazed, put a paw feebly to his
head. Canine teeth seized him by
the left hind leg. The bear swung
about and lauded a blow on the dog's
head. He exposed au expanse of neck
at the same timo, and upon this weak
point foil a blow from hard horns and
harder head.
Mrs. Sheffor from a window saw a
wild, fierce fray. There was the goat
backing and charging with the pre
cision of a battleship in action. The
dog, with his head covered with crirn.
son marks of the fight aud with his
sides badly scarred, fought like a
canine devil.
The bear was in the actof crumpling
up the dog as patrons of a dairy
restaurant dispose of Japanese nap
kins, when he received a consignment
of initial velocity in his side. He let
go of the dog and pursued the goat,
while the dog attacked from the
side. i
Mrs. Sheffer then decided to join in
the battle. The bear was badly
winded. The dog was minus an eye
and the goat's whiskers flowed crim
son to the ground. Two hundred
pounds of panting aud exhausted bear
were trying to recover for another
round.
Mrs. Sheffer made n detour to the
woodshed, and picked up an axe.
Dog and goat got out of range and the
polished steel fe!l upon the head of
that bruised aud heart-broken bear.
That was the end of him.
Saved by Ilia Horse.
George Howard, nineteen years of
age, who has been employed on the
farm of George Leut, about a mile
outside P.ochester, N. Y., on the Buf
falo road, is at the Homoeopathic Hos
pital suffering from injuries inflicted
on him by a hog. That young Howard
is not a subject for the Coroner in
stead of the hospital surgeon is due to
the fact that a horse, which has been a
great favorite at Howard an( j is
attached to the boy, kicked the en
raged hog away as the brute was about
to fasten his teeth in the boy's throat.
The horse has always been looked
upon by Farmer Lent as a remarkably
intelligent member of the equiue fam
ily, but now he is considered a won
der, and had the farmer not himself
witnessed the act of the horse he would
never have believed that an animal
could display such intelligence.
The hog which made the attack on
Howard was a large and particularly
ugly brute. He broke out of his pen
in the afternoon and made a rush for
tlie barn. The door was open and
young Howard, who had just placed
his favorite horse back into his stall
after a careful grooming, was just start
ing to go out the door when tho en
raged hog entered with a rush. The
brute made a savage attack on the boy,
and, fastening his teeth into the calf
of the leg, tore and lacerated the flesh.
Howard fell back into tli9 stall and
close to the feet of tho horse he had
just groomed.
The hog was springing at the throat
of his nrostrate victim when the horse
raised his hind feet aud gave the hog
a kick which sent him ten feet and
caused him to squeal with pain. Mr.
Lent, who had been attracted by the
screams of the boy, was just entering
the barn door as he saw the horse kick
the hog oil* tho prostrate body of the
boy.
It was found that Howard had a bad
wound in the leg, and, as the attend
ance of a physician was necessary, Mr.
Lent hitched up the faithful horse
and took the injured boy to the hos
pital.
Saved by a Jack-KnlO.
The recent loss of the French
steamer La Bourgogue leads the New
York Press to print a strange and ex
citing story about the loss of an
other steamer of the same line, the
Ville do Havre, about twenty-five
years ago. On the afternoon before
the tragedy, it appears, a New York
lawyer, Mr. Witthaus, and another
passenger were leaning against the
taffrail under the flagstaff at the stern.
The second man called Mr. Wittliaus's
attention to a life-buoy, so stiff and
hard with coats of paint that, the pas
senger said, it could not be got free
without a knife.
Mr. Witthaus attempted to move it,
but fouud it glued hard aud fast. His
friend took out his knife and began
idly sticking it into the soft pine of the
flagstaff, till the talk was interrupted
by the dinner-gong.
Early the next morniDg, while the
passengers were still asleep, the col
lision occurred, and in the panic that
followed, Mr. Witthaus did what he
could to get the women aud children
into the life-boats.
From the first he regarded himself
as doomed, for there were not nearly
boats enough for the passengers, and
it was evident that the ship would
float only a few minutes. Several
women he fouud places for at once,
only to see the boat overturned as
soon as it was launched, and all go
down, one of the women with her two
little children in her arms.
Horrified aud sickened by the sight,
he went back to the stern of the ship,
which was higher out of the water
than the bow, to await until he, too,
should go clown, and stood leaning
again on tlie taffrail. As he did so,
in a Hash ho recollected the conversa
tion of tho afternoon before, and
looked over tho rail.
There still hung tho life-buoy, stifl
and immovable, and the instinct of
self-preservation sprang to life once
more. A knife to free the buoy, and
he might be saved, but he hud none
with him, and to find one was impossi
ble with the ship liable te go down at
auy secoud.
At the same moment his eye caught
sight of the flagstaff, aud there, where
his friend had evidently forgotten it
the afternoou before, stuck the knife.
With tho haste of life and death, Mr.
Witthaus pulled it out, aud began to
saw away at tho buoy. He freed it,
and threw himself oil' the deck into
the sea just in time to get beyond the
vortex that cauio as the great ship
went down, sucking hundreds of the
victims with it.
Mr. Witthaus floated for some time,
and was at last picked up by a small
boat that was waiting about for chance
survivors, and was brought back to
New York to tell of one of the most
awful catastrophes that ever happened
at sea.
Circumventing Shell.
Most thrilling is the story of Major
William Dutiield 8011, surgeon of the
Seventy-first Begimeut, of a battle
field scene during the fight of July 1,
as told in Leslie's Weekly The Ma
jor says: "I had just begun to exam
ine a poor fellow's wounds when I saw
a shell coming toward us high over
head. I thought it must surely pass
beyond, but it struck a tall tree and
ricocheted to the ground, exploding at
the very spot where wo were standing.
As f saw the daugor I gave the wounded
man a sharp push forward, throwing
him to ground, and then cast mysell
on the ground, also in a forward di
rection, as I knew that the fragments
of the shell would be driven backward
by the momentum.
"The explosion came not ten feet
from where we were lying, and both
of us were buried in the dirt hurled
violently over us. There was n hole
in the ground where the shell struck
big enough to set a barrel in,but neither
the soldier nor X got any hurt. The
others about thought this quite a mira
cle, and came running up,thinking to
find us dead. All these details I re
member with the utmost distinctness,"
Reclaiming Land In North Germany.
Works are in progress for reclaim
ing land among tho islands on the

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL
A scientific writer says that night ii
the time wlricli nature utilizes for the
growth of plants and animals; children,
too, grow more rapidly during the
night. In the daytime, the system is
kept busy disposing of the waste con
sequent on activity, but while asleep
tho system is free to extend its opera
tions beyond the mere replacing of
worn-out particles; hence the rapid
growth. This is why invalids need so
much rest and sleep.
in making concrete, burnt clay has
recently been substituted for the
granite chips ordinarily employed, aud
the results of the experiments have
been a surprising success. The burnt
clay has been successfully used for
ballast, and this material was employed
with the cement. As a result of thor
ough tests it was proven that the com
bination would be durable for any of
the ordinary uses for which concrete
is employed.
Spiders' lines, which have long been
employed in telescopes and levels for
the measurement or making of dis
tances, are now utilized in making
strong cords for military balloons. At
the professional schools of Ckalais-
Meudon, France, spiders are bred and
trained for tho purpose of furnishing
tho lines. A dozen spiders are grouped
before a reel which withdraws the
delicate thread, and each insect is re
leased when it has yielded twenty to
forty yards of line. Each fibre is of a
pinkish hue, and is washed to remove
the sticky matter on its surface. Eight
of these are next combined into a
thread, which is lighter aud stronger
than silk.
Tho discovery of methods producing
very low temperatures has stimulated
research into the properties of sub
stances when in such a condition. In
the case of metals, their resistivity lias
been found to decrease considerably
with a lowered temperature, and more
recently experiments have been tried
to determine the value of their specific
heat under a like circumstance. The
method of mixtures has been used and
the metal cooled by immersion in
liquid air. The results show that the
specific heat diminishes with the tem
perature, and some experimenters be
lieve that near the absolute zero the
value of the specific heat of all ma
terials would be tho same, a very small
quantity, and probably zero.
A fabric has recently beeu invented
j in Germany, by Dr. Ford. Linnenboru,
which when used for underclothing
| will keep the skiu cool und obviate
excessive perspiration. The new
fabric is so woven that the surface
which is in contact with tho skin is
linen, while the wool fibre forms the
outside of the material. The iinen
threads are first well dried and then
steeped in a solution of parafine and
benzine, it having been found that
yarn so made does not absorb perspira
tion. The wool undergoes treatment
in a bath of water, spirits of sal am
moniac, soap and soda, and then is
immersed in spirits of sal ammoniac
and benzine. These threads are
woven together, one side boiug en*
tirely linen, while tho other is wool,
and garments of such compositiou are
said to bo both comfortable aud
hygienic.
An interesting paper was presented
lately before a Copenhagen scientific
society by Professor La Cour on wind
as a motivo power. With regard to
the best construction of a windmill, he
pointed out the fallacy of the opinion
commonly entertained that the greatest
effect is obtained from horizontally
moving winds. As to the construction
of the wings, notwithstanding the at
tention given by practical mathema
ticians to this point, all their careful
calculations are declared to have led
to no positive results. Their physical
suppositions were erroneous, holding,
as they did, to the idea that the oflect
upon the mill depended upon the
pressure of the wind when it strikes
tho wings. The fact is admitted that
the absolutely best shape for wings
has not yet been ascertained. But
the most important practical point in
the paper is the solution of tho prob
lem how best to neutralize tho incon
veniences caused by the irregularity
of the wind. Professor La Cour has
for this purpose constructed an original
instrument, a regulator, by means ot
which a windmill can very well be
used for working a dynamo.
Falconry Fushlonabla.
Falconry, once the fashionable sport
of tho aristocracy in England, is again
becoming popular, and the demand for
the birds necessary for this sport is
greater just now than it has been dur
ing the last two centuries. It is a
pastime which cannot be followed by
many, but probably this exolusiveness
is ono of the chief characteristics com
mending it to tho ladies and gentle
men who for some time have been cul
tivating it in a quiet and retiring man
ner. Those who indulge in it declare
the exercise to be most fascinating,
and wonder that the wealthy classes
fond of field sports over allowed it to
die out. In the old days gentlemen
frequently gave g.">000 for a pair of
hawks, and, although such prices are
hardly likely to be repeated, the birds
are steadily rising in the market. Tho
principal field of supply is North Bra
bant, and in one week last month no
fewer than twenty-four peregrines

FJfty-Onp Bridges fori). & O. 11. It.
One of the largest bridge contracts
that has been awarded in many years
has been let by the Receivers of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. In or
der to place the lines west of the Ohio
river in proper shape to handle the
heavy freight equipment that is being
used east of the river, the Receivers
found it necessary to rebuild 51 bridges
between Ben wood, W. V.. and Chica
go. That the structures might be rap
idly pushed to completion it was de
cided to divide the work among three
companies. The Youngstown Bridge
Company, of Youngstown, will erect 31
bridges on the Central Ohio division
between the Ohio river and Newark,
Ohio; The Pencoyd Bridge Works was
awarded the 11 bridges en the Bake
Erie division. Newark to Sandusky,
and the Edge Moor Bridge Company,
of Wilmington, Bel., will erect the 9
bridges needed on the Chicago division. |
The total cost of these bridges is in
the neighborhood of $300,000, and it is
expected that all will he in place by
September. Nearly six thousand tons
of steel will be needed for the struc
tures.

A Beauty of the Arctic,
i There is a beautiful bird called the
rosy gull, very few specimens of which
| exist in museum, and whose entire
! life is spent in the immediate neigh*
! borhood of the eternal ice that sur
rounds the north pole. A paper de
scribing these curious birds was read
I at the recent meeting of the American
| Association in Boston by Mr. John
Murdoch. They follow the advance of
the ice towards the south as winter
comes on, keeping near the loose edge
of the floating pack ice, and then re
treat with it toward the north when
I the summer sun begins to rise high
| upon the Arctic circle. The bird i 3
| small and of a deep rose color, whereas
all other gulls are white.
