That Show.

Forepaughs big show has come and gone,
carrying with it the universal commenda-
ton of our people as the best that has ev-
er visited Staunton. The procession with
its herd Of elephants, new ornamental
cars, band wagons, bell chimes and good
horses, was really a fine spectacle. The
menagerie is the best travelling one we
haze ever seen, and the circus good, the
riding. gymnastic exercises and tumbling
especially so.
Notwithstanding the rain and mud, there
were about 5000 people under the canvass
and their sticking it out to the close I'M
der SO many discomforts showed their ap-
probation Of the exhibition. Mr.. Fore
paugh left last night at IL O'Clock for
Lynchburg. He travels by rail using his
own cars and only hiring the engines of
the road he nses at a cost of from $500 to
$500 day, a big item in tile long RIM.
On account Of the incl3mency of the
weather there was no exhibition last night

instead offghting, gives its whole ener-
| giles to the efforts TO escape. Wnen,
however, the anise seed bag is driven to
bay. it is said to fight with ferocity
that is extremely dangerous. VI course,
| Ii Ia creditable to the bold Queens coun-
| ty huntsmen that they prefer TO hunt
this dangerous animal rather than the
timid fox, but IL Is to be earnestly hoped
that they will temper their courage with
discretion.
The substitution OF the anise seed bag
| for the fox shows not only the fearless
ness and the judicious economy Of the
Queens county huntsmen, but It is also
an evidence OF their patriotism. They
prefer to hunt q fierce American animal
rather than an imported monarchical
fox. There will be no trouble In finding
that Hampstead Plains is infested with
them, and that they breed In large
numbers all over Long leland. They are
seldom seen, for they do not feed upon
the farmers crops, and rarely attack
human beings, except when they find 1t
impossible to escape. Hence, there are
scores OF Long Island farmers who have
never seen q wild anise seed bag, and
are familiar only with the tame variety
that can usually be found at drug stores.
STILL the fact that the hunt, at Its very
AE6b AC0tluky SDIuCh tIl6 WILL vi Wudt
was believed to be full grown and dam
gerous anise seed bag, shows that the
animals are numerous on Hampstead
Plains, and is full OF promise for future
sport.
While congratulating the anise-seed
bag huntsmen upon the suspicious
opening OF the fall season, It is solemn
duty to warn them to be careful OF their
precious lives. Hunting anise-seed bags
Is no ohild's play. IL an incautious
huntsman is attacked by one OF these
ferocious beasts, and his pieces. are
brought home In a hand basket, there
will be q popular outcry against the
sport, and the Legislature will be called
upon to suppress 1t as wanton trifiing
with human life. So long as the hunts
men are cautious ell will 60 well; but
they must never forget that an anise-
seed bag is not a fox, but is almost as
fierce and dangerous as the shark itself.

The left hand Ia chosen for q similar

upon the right hand. The ancients,
however, are said to have selected 1t
from notion that the ring finger is con-

THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA FROM A

The most enthusiastic advocates of
ballooning would have hesitated to de.
clare that submarine surveys were
within the province OF the aeronaut.
Such, however, is the case, since M. Du-
ruof and his companion going up Ia a
balloon on the 25th OF last August, 1T
Cherbourg. and being at an altitude OF
5000 feet, were amazed to see beneath
rock, fissare. and depression au At the ei bot.
tom Of the sea. And yet the sea oppo-
site Cape Levy, where the aerial voy-
ayers obtained this birds-eye view, has
an average depth OF above two hundred
feet. So limpid did the water appear
that under currents were percepiible,
while nothing would have been easier
than to sketch or map the bottom Of the
sea-
