A LANTERNS FLAME AS A WARNING OF DEATH.
The Virginia (Nevada) Chronicle says: There
are wonderful things to be studied in the vast lab
oratory where Nature has stored her treasures.
The men who toll in the caverns of the ground and
tread the endless wndings of the drifts have their
presentments of coming calamity, and at times
feel the touch of death in the very air. Chroni-
Gle reporter was talking with an old miner few
days ago who implicitly believed that no death
ever took place in the mines without warning of
some kind. "You see," he said, "death never
comes of sudden upon the men in the mines.
You reporters write up accidents and tell how
something gave way or fell quick and killed some
body. Now this amt so. There's always some
warning When / see my lantern begin to burn
low down and blue, / know that there is danger
ahead. If it keeps on for few days and then
begins to waver and flicker, I'll watch it close to
see where it points. Now, you may set me up for
a fool, but what I'm tellin is the gospel truth.
When the flame leans over Gas if it was being
worked by blow pipe)and points to man, death
has marked him. Some years ago when Bill
Hendricks was killed in the Savage, the fame of
my lantern pointed right to him for over an hour,
and when he moved the flame would turn, Just as
if Bill was q tombstone and the flame was a mari
ner's needle. l knew he gone, and told him
to be careful about the blast. Well he got through
that all right, and got on the cage. As we went
up the cande kept actlng strangely, ana AT times
the flame would stretch out long and thin towards
Bill. At length it gave a sudden flicker, and Bill
reeed to one side and was caught in the timbers.
/ heard his dreadful cry as he disappeared down
the shaft, and while he was bounding from side to
side, dashing out his brains and scattering his
flesh down to the bottom, my light went out
never lit that lantern again. 1t hangs up in my
cabin now and it always will. There's more in a
candle-fame than people think I'd rather see a
cooked revolver pointed at me than candle-fame;
a revolver sometimes misses, but candle-fame is
sure to kill when it starts towards man. must
start for my shift now. Don't give my name to
anybody There are some who would laugh at
me-" The man then picked up his bucket and
walked away. There are plenty of miners on the
Csmstock who have just such superstitions. Some
believe that had and good lucless,ape iI -.
just as quartz and porphyry. Cor three ye..s-
past there had been no accident in the North Con-
solidated Virginia until few days ago, when
Champion had his thigh crushed. The miners
said at once that bad "streak" had been struck,
and more accidents might be expected. Yester-
day two more men were injured by falling thirty
feet into the stump. This caused by the
breaking of two-inch plank that seemed able to
bear dozen men.

tanned $4,000 worth of stock for making paper,
which was consumed The stock house stood 25

Fish by the Square Mile.

Some faint idea of the vast and mex
haustible number of fish on our shores
may, perhaps, be obtained by a consider
alton of the fact that yesterday no fewer
than 5000 barrels of porgies were
caught off Newport. If the sea, through
the Vineyard and Long Island Sounds,
is anywhere near as rich in porgles,
mossbunkers, and other varieties of the
most abundant kinds of fish, what an
unimaginably teeming world of life
there must be beneath the waves! And 1t
is, even more than the striving, pushing
world of human life, scene otrapaclty
and destruction-the stronger preying
upon the weaker and "the survival Of
the fttest." Enormous as this single
days catch of porgies seems, it is sur
passed by some of the big hauls of bony-
fish or mossbunkers-the "whitetish'
of the evil-smelling fish-oil mills on the
shore. These creatures actually swarm
in millions and are caught and hauled
in by the cargo. Schools OF yoracious
bluefish pursue and drive them Tipping
and flashing to the surface, where they
are promptly pounced upon by the sail
ing fish hawks and sea gulls that wait
tor them out of water. In the sea and
on the land the world seems to be a
scene of shark and tiger, in one or
another form of destructive rapacity.-
