A beer owned by 2, Clapp, which wee

On the Broaktan toed the animal at-

the sitlutllocl he was in the clutches of an
immsuso bleok bear. The beer hugged

nhal burled hie long sharp claws 311 his
floalt, laonretintl his bushy :slid tearing his
clothes, whilst the 1111; yellow fence
mutinied viciously in close proximity to
the young inau's thr 1. 110 s: reamed
when he holt the bet groin bre tall of tho
monster on hie (eek, end saw the wick

time had come. He W68 unarmed and
could do nothing to save himself. Tho
bear hugged him 1111111 ho felt ovary bone
in his body crack, then. throwing him
down upon the sidewalk, the animal be.
gen to eat his thigh and the calf of his
leg, grunting end growling horribly all
the tine. The young man had sufficient
strength to eoream for assistance, and
his cries were heard by Constables Quinn
and Scott. When Scott arrived 1118
hear was eating away at Shaw's leg.
Scott whipped out his revolver and fired
two shots into the brute's ear at close
range. just then Constable Quinn, who
had been on duty at the subway, and
also hastened to the scone upon hearing
the cries, came up. ' He pulled his re-
volver and fired. The beer let go his
victim, and, rising upon his bind logs,
att•'mpted to grapple with Quinn. The
constable eluded him, and fired several
.hots more, as did also Scott and a by-
atnnder, and finally the shots took effeot,
and the bear fell with ton bullets in its
carcass. Constable Wright, after empty-
ing
mpty
ing five chambers of his revolver into its
betty, procured an ase from the fire .tall
and despatched the animal as it lay on
the street growling and striking out vic-
iously with its paw. -

pearance. Ilia clothing had virtually

boot they could. The calf of tbo right
log had been bitten clean through. His
thigh was oleo torn and the mark- of the
brute's fangs wore on both tome and
0houlder0. His body was scratched with
the long claws in a shocking manner,
making gashes as if iufiioted by a sharp
knife.

cipal indttatries of Owen Sound, hower,
oaten Pelson ship yard, an extended
de-
scription of white may bo interesting to
the ,canters of Tux Pose. Tho popular
idea of the building of a vessel is that
the work is mostly done out of doors, but
0 %lett to Poison's shipyard is tve_ll 0a1.
euleteiito dispel 011011 a delusion, for
there are substantial wooden buildings
with an aggregatelougth of 700 feet and
a width of G0 feet, in which groat squads
of men are busily engaged --in fast, every
rib unci plate of the ship is shaped and
finished in the buildings, reedy for their
various positions, leaving only the work
ni putting together to be dorso out -doors.
The first building ou entering the yard
is the wood shop, where all the wood-
work is done, one end of it being utilized
for the business office and offices for the
draughtsmen, a considerable number of
whom are engaged on the m01 11)1ioi13' of
drawings neoe0seey. Here is the model,
whioh furnishes the baste of the whole
WOOS. and on which every plate is lis•
Sealy laid out and lettered and num-
bered so that when shaped according to
the model it is roady,to bo fitted into its
piece without confusion. In addition to
tlto model there ere an humane() number
of plans and detail drawings of every
portion of the ship. On au immense)
deeiguing floor, over 200 feet in length,
eaoh one of these drawings of frames
and beams is enlarged to full size. From
there they aro transferred to the floor of
the furnace room, and tho shapes made
in thin strips of iron to serve as models
to which the great steel ribs aro bunt.
The furnaces aro 50 feet in length,
where the baro of else' aro heated, while
in front is a massive metal floor laid out
in 111110 squares of about an inch and a
quarter, each alternate equate being per.
fantod, s0 that by means of iron pine
the heated bets may be bent into any re-
quired shape.
lo another building aro a number of
forges at whioh blaokamitho are busily
engaged in their department of the
work.
But tho most interesting imitable is
the machine shop, Lahore tho different
processes of bending, onaping and punch-
ing the plates aro carried oe. The rolls
for bonding pietas have boon specially im.
ported from Glasgow,, and aro said to bo
the finest on the continent. They weigh
thirty tons and bond plates 10 feet G in-
ohe0 in length. Besides the rolls there
is an immense platter for planing the
edges, and a powerful angle cutter, both
made by a Canadian firm, that of John
Bortrmm iic Sone, Dundas. Next comes
a powerful beam bonder, which takes a
groat stool bar and bonds it like 051300
