that In caw o f a Are his exit by the
stairs might be cut off. He therefore
caused an Iron bar to be fixed by arms
projecting from the outside o f his win­
dow. designing by a rope attached
thereto to descend In the event o f a
fire occurring. This excessive caution
led to a practical joke by hie fellows.
One midnight a party o f students
thundered at bis door with loud cries
o f "Fire, fire!" The nervous poet flew
to his window and slid down the rope
to the ground, where he was hailed
with shouts o f laughter. Gray’ s deli­

rough Joke that he changed his lodg-

lives to the naval w a n o f the United
8tator in that same period.
In the eighty-two duels which w e n
fought in that period thirty-six men
were killed, o f whom thirty-three were
naval officers. O f those who were not
killed in those naval duels one-half
were wounded.
.1 » those days o f the old navy the
duel was held to be a sort o f indis­
pensable diploma for the naval officers.
Men were sensitive as to their honor,
and very fantastic were their notion»
as to the necessity of Its defense.
Duals ware fought between officers
high in rank and more often between
the midshipmen. The commissioned
officers dealt with thesa "affairs of
honor" between the youngsters with
pompons solemnity.
Verses were printed upon their vic­
tims in the literary journals o f the day.
and their relatives caused epitaphs in
the Johnsonian style to be placed upon
their tombs. Occasionally duels aa-
aumed the character almoat o f ga In­
ternational Incident, and sometimes
they became email wars.
Early in the war with Tripoli offi­
cers became involved in quarrels
among themselves and with the offi­
cers of the British navy who were on
service In the Mediterranean. In 1810
the Americans and the British officers
who were connected with the geiri-
at Gibraltar fought duals so fre­
quently that the governor prohibited
the harbor to American ships.
Those old tin y , middles warn exceed
Ingiy bellicose. They were very Jeal­

exalted ideas as to the meaning o f the
terms “gentleman” and “ officer;" there­

o f ten paces with pistols.
Once a middy amused himself by
sprinkling a letter that another middy

Prairie
DM the Jeb Well by Bury-
log Him Alive.
It would not seem a vary easy thing
to bury a snake alive, but that is what
an Oklahoma man saw some prairie
dogs do.
Ha waa resting under a tree when
he noticed a commotion among soma
prairie dogs near him. They would run
up to a certain spot, peep at
and then scamper back. Looking
closely, he saw fifteen to twenty
about a rattlesnake, which
went Into one o f the dogs’ bole*
No sooner had It disappeared than
the little fellows begun to push In d irt
evidently to fill up the hole. By the
time they had pretty well covered the
entrance the snake stuck bla head up
through tbo d ir t and every dog scam­
pered off to a safe dtatance^taU the
time burking.
nv
The snake crawled to another bole
about a rod distant and went in. Tken
forward came tbo dogs again, and all
went to work to push up earth to the
bole. Th is time they succeeded and
completely covered the entrance. This
done, they proceeded to beat the earth
down, employing their noses for this
purpose. When they hud rendered the
earth quite hard they want away. Th e
observer examined their work and waa
surprised to find that they bad packed
the earth in soUd with their noses and
had sealed the snake inside.—Los An­

ANCIENT ANIMAL GIANTS.
Manatee Sloths That iffaea aa Large as
a Rhinoceros. *
In aa account o f the fossils o f giant
aataagja o f Argentina to be seen in the
Museum o f La Plata the Rev. J. A.
Zahm. author o f “ Through South Amer­
ica’s Southland,“ calls special attention
to the mylodon, a ¿found sloth as
large as a rhinoceros and related to
the megatherium that flourished thou­
sands o f years ago.
T h e mylodon may have lived within
comparatively recent times. Only a
few years ago Nordenskjold discover­
ed in a cave in southwestern Patago­
nia a large piece o f well preserved
skin covered with greenish brown hair
and small bony knobs that was recog­
nised as the skin o f the' mylodon.
There Is good reason to believe that
the mylodon waa still browsing in the
forests o f Patagonia se late aa fifty
years ago. Indeed, there are natural­
ists who contend that It is still living
1n some o f the caves o f southern Chile, }
So strong was the conviction that as
late aa 1902 an expedition started from
England th e chief object o f which was
to search for a living mylodon.
although It failed to find one, there are
men o f science who continua to batteva
that a living mylodon w ill yet be found
somewhere in the forest depths of
southern Chile or Argentina.
Nickajaek Cava.
Nlckajack waa once the name o f an
important Cherokee town on the bank
of the Tennessee river. The Cbero-
kees, who had aMad the British in the
Revolutionary w ar and had been well
paid for their assistance, clustered
their wigwams at this point about
1780-82, ang the village was known
a§ one o f tbo “ Chicksmauga towns.”
The meaning o f the name is n jw lost,
though it was probably o f Cherokee
origin, as it occurs in the annals o f
the tribe as a man's name. This name
la also given to a creek and to a very
remarkable cave, the latter being situ­
ated very near that point o f the south­
ern boundary o f Tennessee where It is
intersected by the line separating the
states o f Alabama and Georgia. Nlck­
ajack cave, though but little known,
lx one o f the wonderful caves o f the
world, being o f even more imposing
proportion* than the Mammoth cave
of Kentucky.—Argonaut.
- The First Music.
The father o f song, music and danc­
ing. all three, was the savage wbe
first clapped bauds and shouted in
time at some rude festival o f his tribe.
From that clapping and shouting has
been evolved the whole art o f Instru­
mental music, including eves the en­
trancing complexities o f the modern
symphony. From that about or rudi­
mentary emotional utterance has pro­
ceeded by a kindred evolution the
whole art o f vocal music down to the
modem opera or oratorio. From the
savage leap has come every variety
o f dancing.

How Flying Fish Fly.
The popular notion that flying fish
beat their “ wings" is a mistake. It ap­
pears that the wings are not true or­
gans o f flight, bnt rather play the part
o f a parachute or aa aeroplane. The
whole motive power la supplied by the
tail, which acta as a propeller, and the
vibration or quivering o f the wlnga In
