IT is HARD TO KILL A GRIZZLY.
„ ran DO Plenty of Dnm.Re When He la
••Nominally Dead."
rv.-sonally I have more respect for
• tv the prizzly betir, than for
S. r i ««ep.cl. write. W. T.
IK in an article on the bears of North
America in the August number of St.
XhJholas. It is <l uito true that mnn F
able-bodied grizzly is eaught nap-
Kng and killed “dead easy,’ as the
Cseball language says, but so arc big
Xers also, for that matter. In fact I
know of one large tiger weighing with
in five pounds of five hundred who was
-Promptly laid low by two bullets from
a mere popgun of a rille, and there was
no fuss about it either.
It is easy enough to kill a grizzly at
& aood safe distance of one hundred
vards or so, which allows the hunter to
L. from three to six shots by the time
the teeth and claws get dangerously
ne ar. But to attack a fully grown and
wideawake ursus horribilis in brushy
m-ound at twenty or thirty yards’ dis
tance is no child’s play. As an old
hunter once quaintly expressed it to
me: “A grizzly bar’ll git up an’ come at
ve with blood in his eye after he’s nom
inally dead!” The point of it is, this
bear is so big and so enveloped in long,
shaggy hair, his head is so wedge-like,
his strength and tenacity of life so
■weat, and his rage when wounded so
furious that at short range fee js hard
to kill quickly and kill go dead that ho
cannot get 9 Pig *- r -
Tljq styeSgi’i of a grizzly’s arm is
tremendous. and when the blow comes
accompanied with claws five or six
inches long, like so many hooks of steel
on a sledge-hammer, it tears to shreds
what it fails to crush. There are many
authentic instances on record of hunt
ers and trappers who have been killed
bv grizzly bears, and I believe it could
be proved that this animal has killed
more men than all the other wild an
imals in North America combined, ex
cepting the skunks and their rabies.
In the days of the early pioneers the
only rifles used were the muzzle-load
ing, hair triggar squirrel rifles of small
caliber, and they war* no match for the
bui.y grizzly, either in speed or
strength. As a result bruin had the
best of it, and in time brought about a
perfect reign of terror among the
frontiersmen who trespassed upon his
domain. For my part, I certainly
would not want to attack a big grizzly
at short range with my father’s old
Kentucky rifle of thirty-two caliber,
unless I had my will made and all my
earthly affairs in shape to be left for a
longpertod. But with the rise of the |
breech-loader the tables turned, and, i
like all other dangerous animals, the I
grizzly 1- soon found that the odds vjere
gainst him. To be sure, he still kills
ms hunter now and then, sometimes by
one awful stroke of his paw, and some
times by biting his victim to death.
But he has almost ceased to attack
men wilfully and without cause, as he
onee did. Unless he is wounded, or
cornered, or thinks he is cornered and
about to be attacked, he will generally
run whenever lie discovers a man. But ;
when he is attacked, and especially if
wounded he gets mad clean through.
Then he will fight anything, even a cir
cular saw, so it' is said, and give it five
turns the start.

A Missionary Describes the Feeling Be

Forty-nine years ago the Southern
Baptist convention, in session in the
Seventh Baptist church, Baltimore, de
cided to send to China ns a missionary

only twenty years of age. The other
night, says the Baltimore Sun, that
young man. now bearded and gray
haired, returned to the Seventh church
and told of his work as a missionary
In China. He is Rev. Dr. K. 11. Graves,

Some Opdnbons
from Eminent Men
of Georgia,
concerning the New Edition
of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica and the
remarkable Introductory Offer
OF THE
Atlanta Constitution.
THE general distribution of the Encyclopaedia Britannica,
ninth edition, has enabled the public to take the measure
of this Incomparable work and place it in contrast with
other cyclopedias. The result has been to establish beyond
Question its unqualified superiority. It is a giant where others
are pigmies. It stands the noblest work in all literature ; the one
only adequate representative of the advanced thought and
scholarship of the world. It is the only cyclopaedia in which
each subject is treated by an acknowledged authority upon that
subject. No other has spent one-third as much money on
literary labor as the Britannica. No other can show a list of
principal contributors, either so eminent in their departments of
scholarship, or varied in nationality and profession, or so
numerous. The full list of contibutops numbers more than two
thousand persons, and includes the most eminent literary and
scientific names of Europa and America. While it is the
acknowledged standard. Incomparably the best and most de
sirable cyclopaedia in existence, its high cost has heretofore L
placed it beyond the reach of the majority. The English edition
is sold In this country at SB.OO per volume, and the Scribner
edition at $5.00 per volume, making the cost of the set, in a§
volumes, frotp $125.00 to $200.00 in cloth binding.
Some Cheap Editions
have been printed in America, but their incompleteness and
inaccuracy rendered them inadequate and unreliable as reference
libraries. The first and oldest of these was the Stoddard reprint.
This reprint never became popular with the American people,
partly because of its small type. which was set without leads be
tween the lines and accordingly difficult to read ; but the princi
pal reason for its disfavor among the American people was the
fact of its inaccuracy in reproducing the original text. The
carelessness of a proof reader, for instance, in allowing a wrong
exponent in a mathematical formula, a wrong subscript in a
chemical formula, or a wrong figure in a date might serve only
to confuse the mathematician or mechanic, to put out the eyes
of the chemist, or turn to ridicule the orator who trusted to the
accuracy of his reference library. Yet such errors are inevitable
where the type is reset and the proofs read by men who have no
technical knowledge of the subject in hand.
Another reason why the Stoddard reprint never became popu
lar was that in reproducing the various engravings, diagrams,
plans, etc., no thought was given to the need of retaining
a proportionate scale of measurement, and the printers, who had
no other object in view than the general appearance of the page,
altered the scale-drawings at will, making them large or small ’

Joseph Jacobs, Jacobs’ Pharmasy, At

the new up-to-date edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica,
a work whose introduction into the homes of our people _l
thr.mgh the Constitution, is destined to mark a new era
in educational advancement. No family should allow to
pass by unheeded this opportunity of securing the work at
special figures. I find the Constitution edition superior to
the original, inasmuch as it contains an immense amount
of statistical and other information not obtainable when
the original was completed (1889).”
Loulie M. Gordon, Atlanta, says: “I con

THE HUSTLER OF ROME, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER, 28 1894,
f to suit their convenience in arranging the pages. The result .
was, that although a considerable number of these sets were
sold, the enterprise
Never Became a Real Success
and the old plates were finally sold or rented to Maxwell Sorn
merville, who attempted to make the edition acceptable by add
ing foot-notes of correction here and there throughout the work
Under this guise a few more sets of this work were sold, but the
public were not slow to discover that the " Sonnnerville Edition ”
was simply a new name for
An Old and Rejected Work.
Following the Stoddard reprint there were two photographic
reprints: the Allen reprint and the first Peale reprint (no longer
on the market), but as the process of photographic repr.oducth*
was then in its Infancy these editions were but slight improve
ments over the unleaded Stoddard edition, for while the repro
duction had the appearance of lea Jed type the pages had a slight
ly blurred effect. Yet. in spite of this objection, both of these
editions enjoyed quite a wide popularity in their time, because
the public understood that there could be no question as to the
accuracy of a work reproduced by a photographic process.
But a new era has dawned on the Cyclopaedic world that will
not recognize an edition which is merely a reprint.
A New Edition
of the gre.i* Encyclopedia Britannica has entered the field, be
fore which the original Edinburgh Edition itself is compelled to
retire. Taking advantage of recent improvements in the art of
reproduction, the pages of the original have been duplicated li.
such perfection that even one most skilled in the technical
knowledge of printing finds it impossible to distinguish them
c from type-set pages. But it was not enough to publish an edi
tion that was simply as goo<l sa tho original; a few years of
inspection by a critical public had developed the fact that the
edinburgh edition, while pre-eminently superior to anything pre
viously Issued from the press, was yet not iniallible, and while
it has always been a matter of amazement among book-lovers
that so voluminous a work as the Edinburgh Ninth Edition fur
nished so little grounds for criticism, yet all acknowledged that
here and there errors of a pronounced character had found their
way into its pages. It is a notable fact that heretofore every
publisher who undertook to place a new edition of this great
work before the American people, has undertaken the enterprise
with
A Sort off Superstitious Awe,
viewing the text of Jhe original Edinburgh edition as somehow
sacred and not to be tampered with. When, therefore, the Edin
burgh edition proclaimed that “In the world of letters, at least,
the Southern States have shone only by reflected light,” and
that “ mainly by their connection with the North, the Carolinas
have been saved from sinking to the level of Mexico or the
Antilles,’’ the American publishers, in a spirit of servility quite
in contrast with their usual independent thought, have repro
duced this slanderous statement verbatim, because, forsooth,
one of the twelve hundred English writers for Britannica has
said it, and, therefore, it must be true. In preparing this new
edition no good reason could be found why the errors of the
Edinburgh edition should be perpetuated, but not one word or
1 letter or subscript or exponent that appeared in the origins'

Dr. C. K. Nelson, Bishop of Georgia, says:
The Encyclopaedia Britannica is the only book I know oi
which never disappoints one seeking information. It is on
I this account necessary to every complete man, and the
authorities being generally most r- liable, one does not fear
to appeal to this handbook of knowledge.”
Bishop A. G. Haygood, of the M. IS.
Church of Georgia, savs: “ 1 prefer the Britauniea to any

Father Hylebos, St. Leo’s Church, Tacoma,
writes: “It is the product of the culture and genius of the

appended. The maps, also, were in nearly all cases supplanted
by new and later or, s, which were produced especially for this
work a! a cost of $40,000. From a literary standpoint, therefore,
the new edition equals in everv point, and excels in many points,
all previous editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica. From a
mechanical standpoint, also, the new edition Is
Strlkiugly Superior
to anything that has heretofore been presented to the puh’ic.
The print is large and clear, the engravings are specimens of
the highest art, the margins are wide, the paper is of a fine an;
compact texture, which, while thinner than the paper used in an)
previous edition, '-et avoids all transparency, and therefore
gives every advantage of the former large and clumsv volumes,
while It is much mere compact and convenient to handle. The
binding is also sun riortn any former edition, brivg made with a
double-hinge flexible back, which is more durable than any other
binding, and permi > the pages to open out flat. In preparing/
this new edition for publication
The Atlanta Constitution
was able to give valuable assistance byway of criticisms and
corrections, and it takes a just pride in the fact that it p'aved an
important part in giving the public an edition which possess* %

derous and untnphful reflections against the people of ‘he South.
It Is partlv as a recompense for these services that rhe publish

It should be remembered, nowevtr, that this is slmplv a pi
