SEA GULL AS MESSENGER.
3ia of a Famotu Disaster Carried to the
- Uvina; by m Gall
- "'The news of a famous disaster on
'the . great Indian ocean was lately
' "brought o the living by a sea gull,"
said a traveler, who was on his way to
Sew Zealand, according' to the St. Louis
dobe-Demoerat. ,
"Some years ago the Indian tiner At
lantis, plying betwtn Liverpool and
Calcutta, was lost in the Indian sea
' and all on board perished. . At that time
X was sailing from London to New
South Wales via the Bed and the Indian
ceas. The boat I was on was the Tri-
- tonia, a good sound vessel, and I had an
enjoyable trip. , While sailing in the
Indian sea a sea gull was one day cap
tured and about its neck was tied a
email note, which read:
'Atlantis struck cn the Harad rock.
We are all lost. Father Coathe.
This remarkable message was all
l2rat was ever found. The boat had
called some five months previous, well
stocked with merchandise and passen
gers, and had been duly inspected and
pronounced seaworthy. It must have
been a terrific shock that caused her to
sink. But the message was strang-e.
Who Father Coathe was and how he
happened to have a sea gull at hand
will always remain a mystery. What
wonderful courage he must have had,
. standing- as he did on the brink of eter
nity and there writing a message to the
. living. T
"We continued our journey to Sidney,
where the note and sea gull were both
delivered to the harbormaster, together
with the evidence of the crew. This
was afterward sent to England, where
the knowledge was distributed. It
seems .to me that a few such facts as
these would serve to build a narrative
upon, and you can-easily believe that it
would be more interesting than fiction."
. DOG TRAINED TO STEAL.
Xat latest Cariosity of Crime la
the
World's Metropolis.
This curious account of the depreda
tion of a felonons dog is from the Lon--dan
'Daily Graphic. Frederick Hamp
ton, forty-five, described as a fish
monger, of London road, Croydon, was
eharged on 'remand recently before
Mr. Biron, at the Lambeth police court,
with stealing and receiving a lady's silk
umbrella, value seven shillings six
pence, the property of Louisa Squires.
The evidence already- given showed
that on Saturday the prosecutrix was
.walking along Kensington park road
' with an umbrella in her hand. She saw
'm trap coming along and a dog run
ning behind. The dog came toward
her, took hold of the umbrella and
.shook it, and she had to let go. .
. . The dog then ran off with the um
brella in the same direction as the trap.
The prisoner, who was- driving, was af
terward arrested, and upon searching
the trap the policeman found seven um
brellas, including the one identified by
Jffiss Squires.
"A second case was gone into. Mrs.
Henrietta Kay, the wife of Dr. Bay, of
East Croydon, stated that at the begin
ning of last month she was walking
along London road, Croydon, in com
pany with two other ladies. The wit
ness was carrying a sunshade; a dog
suddenly ran up to her, snatched her
sunshade and ran after the trap, in
which there were two persons. That
morning she saw the sunshade at the
court.
Other victims testified. Eight um
brellas were found at Hampton's lodg
ings. The prisoner was committed.
CITY COUNCIL OF REM PEN.
Dutch Simplicity Was Their Strong Point,
J.Ike That of Some Other Councils.
Kempen, a town in . Holland on the
lower Rhine the birthplace of Thomas
a Kernpis), is a famous residence of peo
ple with small incomes.' The Imagina
tion of these Dutchmen must be as lim
ited as their incomes, judging from the
droll stories that are told of them, says
Harper's Young People.
At one time a fire broke out, and
much damage was done because the en
gines were out of repair. The council
met, and after much argument it Was
voted that on the eve preceding every
.fire the town officers- should carefully
examine the engines, pumps, etc
One of the greatest profits of the town
was the toll exacted at the gates. The'
council wished to increase the income,
and instead of increasing the toll it
voted to double -the number of gates.
' This same council also ordered the sun-"dialtO-
be taken from the courthouse
common and placed under cover, where
it would be protected from the weather.
But of all the queer things that are
told of Kempen and "its people nothing
is so absurd as this: Grass grew on the
top of a very high tower, and the only
way these droll Dutchmen .could think
of to get it off was to hoist a .cow up
and let her eat it.
The Palmetto Proving Useful. -The
graceful palmetto, that grows so
profusely in the lower tiers of the
southern states, has recently become a
factor in the industries of the south,
for its wood is hard enough to carve
and its fiber is strong enough to make
excellent cordage and a useful substi
tute for sponges. In Jacksonville, Fla.,
factory has been started for the pur
pose of making brushes and brooms of
the fiber, and elsewhere sink brushes
re being made of .the wood; half of
- whose thickness is being converted into
bristling points. The young leaves of
the tree make a salad chat the people
are beginning to appreciate, and the
taste of it is likened to that of chest
ants. Bears knew about it long before
the people did, and it is a favorite arti
cle of diet among them the black
bears climbing the trees and browsing
on the fresh shoots as eagerly as they
browse on watermelons.
Educated Marines. -.''.
The English royal marines are unsur
passed by any troops in the world. They
enlist with a character, and they learn
a trade. They serve for twelve years,
or for twenty-ono with a pension, in
stead of being- tr.rned adrift at twenty
four. And t hon tfcey are discharged
there is competition for them among
employers. '
ELEPHANT.
The Coney
Island Affair to Be OutdoM
- - .at Chicago. -
The Colossal Elephant Company at
Chicago announces that it -will erect a
huge elephant of iron, wood and steel
which is to surpass the efforts in this
line of the Liverpool of America New
York. Coney Island has an elephant
the top of whose hodah rises to a height
of 100 feet. That of Chicago is to go up
300 feet. - '
.T. Mason Kirby, of New Brooklyn, is
described in the prospectus of the com
pany as "the only person who ever
Wbuilt, or can build, an elephant build
ing. He is an incorporator of the
company, B. H. Benton, of New York,
and F. B. Benton, of Chicago, being the
3ther3.2 The company has secured the
patent right for the colossal elephant
business in Illinois. The capital stock,
it is said, will be $500,000, the cost of
the elephant to be $250,000.
The elephant is to be erected just out
side of the exposition buildings, its
exact location being withheld for the
present. The work upon the colossus
will be completed before the opening of
the world's fair. In the huge legs of
the animal elevators will be run, the
-nterior is to be divided into sumptu
ausly equipped apartments, parlors,
dining-rooms and dancing halls. Both
legs and body are to be illuminated in
the day bv large plate glass .windows,
and at night by brilliant electric lights.
In the back of the monstrous image
will rise the. hodah, the carriage in
which the elephant in his native land
carries the nabobs of -the east. 'It will
be fitted up for observatory purposes,
the trunk and tail will both be flexible,
and machinery will work them after

FLOCKING TO - NEW ENGLAND.
French Canadians to the Number of Half
a Million Now Over the Border..
A quieter immigration movement on
a scale so extensive as that of the French
Canadians to the United States has
never been witnessed. The majority of
our citizens have as yet no idea of the
extent and results. , It is chiefly within
the last generation that this "new na
tion," as it may be styled, has noiseless
ly overspread the northeastern states.-To-day,
according to the New England
Magazine, this new population through
out the United States numbers consider
ably over 800,000. '. In New England and
New York there are more than 500,000;
in Massachusetts alone the figures
reach 120,000. This is an astounding
aggregate for the brief period of their
immigration and the extent of the
sources of supply. This result far ex
ceeds, -proportionately, that to the
credit of either , Ireland or Germany.
According to La Guide Froncaise des
Etats Unis (1891), they own real estate
to the amount of 5105,823,500, and 10,
696 of the race are doing business for
themselves. As we have already seen,
tbis people, chiefly agricultural, back
ward in education and primitive in
habit, numbered 65,000 at the time of
the cession of Canada to England 1759
60 while at the present time there are
1,700,000 of them, not including the out
flow to adjoining provinces and the
United States. -...'

A WORLD'S FAIR
AVERSE TO ANY CHANGE.
Chinese from Their Infancy Learn to Xg
nore Any Such. Thing as Monotony.
It seems to make no particular differ
ence to a Chinese how long he remains
in one position. He will write all day
like an automaton. If he is a handi
craftsman he will stand in one place
from dewy morn till dusky eve, work
ing away at his weaving, his gold beat
ing or whatever it may be,- and do it
every day,- without any variation in
the monotony and apparently no
special consciousness that there is any
monotony to be yaried. In the same
way, says, a writer in. the Melbourne
Leader, Chinese school children are
subjected to an amount of confinement,
unrelieved by any recesses or change of
work, -which would soon drive western
pupils to the verge of insanity. The,
very infants in arms, instead of squirm
ing and wriggling as our children be
gin to do as soon as they are born, lie
as impassive as so many mud gods.
And at a more advanced age,' when
western children would' vie with the
monkey in its wildest antics, Chinese
children will often stand, sit. or squat
in the same position for a great length
of time. - ; V
In the item of "sleep - the Chinese
establishes the same differences .be
tween himself and the Occidental as in
the directions already specified. Gen
erally speaking,' he is able to sleep
anywhere. None of the trifling dis
turbances which drive us to despair
annoy him. With a brick for a pillow
he can lie down on his bed of stalks, of
mud bricks or rattan,1 and sleep the
sleep of the just, with no reference to
the rest of creation. He does not want
his room darkened nor does he require
others to be still. . The "infant crying
in the night" may continue to cry for
all he cares, for its does not disturb
him. .
It In some regions the entire popula
tion seem to fall asleep, as by a com
mon instinct (like that of the hiber
nating bear) during the first two hours
of summer afternoons,, and they do
this with regularity, no matter where
they may be. At two hours afternoon
the universe at such seasons is as still
as at two 'hours, after midnight. In
the case of most working people at
least and also in that of many others
position in sleep is of no sort of conse
quence. It would be easy to raise in
China an army of one million nay, of
ten million tested- by competitive ex
amination as to their capacity to go tc
sleep across three wheelbarrows with
head downward like . . a spider,
their mouths wide open and a fly inside.
The same freedom from tyranny of
nerves is exhibitedLin the Chinese en
durance of physical pain. Those who
have any acquaintance with the oper
ations in hospitals in China, know how
common or rather universal it is for
the patients to bear without flinching
a degree of pain from- which the
stoutest of us would shrink in terror. -
IN THE HAYFI ELDS.
There the Artist Finds Sketches Designed
, by Mistress. Nature.
' "St. Barnabas, mow the grass," is an
old country saying; but, although St.
Barnabas day falls when the meadow?
are generally ripe for" mowing, there is
no crop so "tickle," as the Yorkshire
farmers say, as the time at which it
must be cut. Hay must fall when the
grasses are in flower. Walk into a hay
field in the second week in June, says
an English review, and you will seethe
pollen dropping from the fescue and
timothy, and the yellow from the but
tercups lodges on your boots. Then the
i beauty of a good meadow, can bo seen
and understood . The trefoil and yel
low suckling are ankle deep, and a
little above, rises the perennial red
clover- the white being not yet in full
blossom. The true grasses reach to
the knee, the growth becoming 'less
dense as it rises higher; and the crown
ing glory of beauty is the wild-eyed ox
daisies more dear, -however, to the
artist than to the farmer. Dotted
among the grasses are carmine meadow
veching and , a dozen other email le
guminosae, yellow v-'easel "snout, but
tercups and wild blue geranium. In a
strangely beautiful picture of Durers
which wc once taw the artist had evi
dently painted the section, of a hay
field. One seemed to be lying on the
cut grass and looking , at the wall left
after - the last sweep of the scythe.
Every flower, every stalk of grass was
painted,"1;he white daisies filling the
top of the canvas. Not only sight but
scent is needed to judge the maturity
of the crop. ' In a walk through acres
of 'mowing grass" to determine the
condition of the blossom, the fragrance
f tne odors from the almost invisible
flowers of the grasses and of the tiny
clovers, erowsfoot and trefoil that
("blush unseen" in the. thick growth at
the bottom is Almost stupefying, and
is certain in some cases to bring1 on a
violent attack of hay fever at. night.
If the flower is fully out. then tho Iiay.
must be cut, no matter how threaten
ing the weather, and no crop lies so
completely at the mercy of the sides as
does the hay. If the crop bo short it
cannot then be left to grow. The
grass must fall while the blossom is
upon it or the cattle will not eat i
"Better let it spoil on the ground than
spoil as it grows" is a country axiom.
For the latter is a certain loss, and a
day's bright sun. and wind may always
dry a fallen crop. t
Mont Blanc Observatory.
A second attempt is to be made to
build an observatory at the top of Mont
Blanc. As the workmen who tunneled
last year .through the snow just below
the summit did not come- upon rock, M.
Janssen has decided that the building
shall be erected upon the frozen snow.
A wooden cabin was put up as anex
periment at the end of last summer, and
in January and early in the spring it
was found that no movement had oc
curred. According to a Lucerne cor
respondent tne ODservatory is to be a
wooden building eight meters long and
lOUr mete" W?de' and insisting of twe!
floors, each with two rooms. The lower
floor, which is to be imbedded in the
snow, will be placed at the disposition
of climbers and guides, and the upper
floor reserved for. the purpose of the ob
servatory. - -
THE MUSHROOM BULLfcl.
ii'ew l-rojectllo That -Will Disable Mes
leather Than Kill Them,
Gen. Twecdie has designed a bullet
which is thought highly of by English
ordnance experts, and is. in their opin
ion something that will meet a long-felt
want, says the New York Times. - .
' The new small-bore bullet has been
found to pass through living animals in
less sensitive parts without their being
"aware that they have been struck at all.
This is due to the combination of high
velocity and small diameter. In wax
the object is to disable men, and this is
often more effectually- fulfilled . by
wounding than by killing, because a
wounded man at the moment requires
one. or two men to look after him, while
the dead man is for the time let alone.
If the wound, however, is one that
hardly makes its existence known the
immediate object may not be answered.
A savage especially would despise a
wound of that character. If the bullet
strikes bone the effect is different, be
cause bone splinters terribly under a
blow at a high velocity, but for what
are called flesh wounds the small bore
is "nowhere." ''
Gen. Tweedie's bullet has a mantlet
or case, which is closed at tne base and
about half - way between the shoulder
and the point. . The result is that on
striking the " head N spreads or "mush
rooms" so as to make the bullet, after
having the advantage of a small diam
eter in - flight, -to become ; on impact
practically one of large bore, the main
difference being that the energy con
sists ' more in velocity and less in
weight than was the case in an old
large-bore ball. It is said also to be
much more efficient against thin iron
or steel plate for the., same reason
uamely, that it makes a much larger
hole and : acts particularly , well in
oblique impact. Of course it will be
clearly understood that , this is only in
vTr .TPi, I8. ?utmatcnea- probable that the great forest hides in
by the bullet. NAs (the chief objection it3 gloomy depths more than one of the
to the bullet is that it will not do the . sources of the Nile. In a geographical
work of an armor-piercing projectile, the work which this expedition is
the objection can stand, says a prom- to undertake is one of the most interest
ment ordnance authority, and, as the enterprises which vet await the ex-
Tweedie bullet possesses almost all of
the qualities required,' it seems very
probable that extensive experiments
will be made to prove its superiority to
other small-arm bullets in use to-day.
SHOOTING IN TEXAS.
Mot Indulged In So Promiscuously as Peo
ple Have Been Led to imagine.
' Itis generally believed by the outside
world that the Texan carries his life in
his hip pocket. " This is a -mistake, says
a letter to the Philadelphia North
American. Our most facile shooters
carry their revolvers just under the left
arm. The real artist knows the minute
differences in shooting "on the rise"
and "on the drop." The technique mas
tered, the cause f6r action claims atten
tion. - Any assault upon the fair name
of woman is a)most certain to be fol
lowed by sudden death. For such causes
as this one mast shoot. Imputations
upon one's veracity or honesty, family
feuds, quarrels and drunken brawls
cause the remainder of the homicides.
For such causes as these one may shoot.
. Men snoot each other in Texas on
lesser ground than this, but they do not
shoot on such slight provocation as the
tenderfoot has been led to believe.
They do not shoot visitors for wearing
a stiff hat, for refusing to drink, nor
for continually ' referring to the better
things "back east." I have never lived
among a people who were as indifferent
to the peculiarities of strangers or re
cent immigrants. However, the Canni
bal islands are no more dangerous fields
for the missionary than is Texas for the
airy, aggressive prig who insists on re
forming us to hisstandardsoutof hand.
I have known several 'men in Texas
who have killed their man; a few who
have killed two or three. Sonic of them
were boasters, who. after their trage
dies, degenerated into bravos; others
were high-minded, high-spirited gen
tlemen who had killed some bully for
mortal offense or as a defense -from
deadly assault, and who bore the agony
of the tragedy in humility and silence.
Homicide hardens and wrecks the'
tough; it saddens and overwhelms the
gentleman. As a means of securing
justice between men it is least satis
factory of all known methods. It is the
poorest kind of test of righteousness.
The villain is often a cooler hand and
better marksman than injured virtue,
O that the avenger" often meets the
doom the betrayer deserves.

vice given to me by an old man when I

and went to my old friend for sympathy,

loosely in his own, said: 'My boy, never

NEW . EXPLORATIONS IN AFRICA.
A Party Coins; to Complete the Study of
Lake Albert Edward. r
-An exploring party is about to under
take a very interesting mission in Cen
tral Africa. The Due d'Uzes will lead
the party, and will be accompanied by
four white comrades and fifty Sengalese
soldiers. .' They are to be. taken up the
Congo river as far as. Stanley Falls on
one of the steamers of the free ' state.
At Stanley Falls they expect " to hire
from Tippu Tib and his nephew, Bochid,
two hundred and fifty porters, and then
they will plunge into the great forest
east of Stanley "Falls, with the inten
tion of making their way to Lake Al
bert Edward.
Their route will lie a good way south
of Stanley's route when he suffered so
many hardships in the same great for
est, on his way to Albert Nyanza. Un
doubtedly the party, will find tribes of
natives that have never been heard of be
fore. The most interesting part of then
work, however, will be in the basin
where Lake Albert Edward gathers the
streams that are among the headwaters
of the Nile. This lake is as yet known
only on its north and east sides. Stan
ley solved the. question Which so long
puzzled geographers, as to whether the
lake flowed into. Albert Nyanza and
was therefore a Nile tributary, or
whether its waters fed the Congo.- He
found that the Semliki river carries the
waters of the lake into Albert - Nyanza
i and the Nile, and along the east bank
of this little v river . he discovered the
wonderful fcnow-clad mountain range
of which the now famous Rmvenzori is
. the crowning feature.
I It is not known as yet, however, how
large Lake Albert Edward really is, and
this will be one of the questions for the
present exploring party to settle. They
' also expect to make a thorough' study
of the hydrography of this region, so it
may be known how far south and west
