6 OF course the officer didn't find the
portmanteau among the personal lug
gage, though I am bound to say he
looked for it very carefully, and scandal
lied some of my saloon passengers not a
little by his unwelcome attention; nor
was it among the larger articles, though
they all lay exposed on the deck, as If
for especial behoof and Inconvenience.
His imagination was, he said, that his
information. as he called it, had been
incorrect, and that the bullock hide port
manteau must be coming over In the
next ship, which I said was possible
because everything is possible. you
know though, own, did not think it
very probable.
As to the owner of the article in
question, he contrived to keep out of my
way, md slipped out of the ship on the
very first opportunity. His story was so
far true that he had intended to keep the
thing in his cabin, to be got quietly on
shore, only that the steward had objected
and caused it to be taken below. That
information had been telegraphed from
England to the New York police, and
was known to the confederate, who had
come out to warn him, and they would
no doubt have saved me all the trouble
by dropping the portmanteau overheard
themselves, only it was among the other
luggage. How to get it out and dispose
of it without discovery was the problem
they had to solve, which they accom-
plished by means of the dynamite story" !"

A Curious Lake.


In Colorado there is ten-acre field
ranean lake covered with soil about
eighteen inches deep. On the soil is cul-
tivated field of corn, which produces
thirty or forty bushels to the acre. If
any one will take the trouble to dig a
hole the depth of a spade handle, he will
find it to fill with water, and by using a
hook and line, fish four or five inches
long can be caught. The fish have neither
scales nor eyes, and are perchlike in
shape. The ground is black mari in its
nature, and in all probability was once
an open body of water, on which was ac-
cumulated vegetable matter, which has
been increased from time to time, until
now it has crust sufficiently strong and
rich to produce fine corn, though it has to
be cultivated by hand, as it is not strong
enough to bear the weight of a horse.
While harvesting, the field hands catch
great strings of fish by punching hole
in the earth. A person rising on his heel
and coming down suddenly can see the
growing corn shake around him. Any
one having the strength to drive q rail
through the crust will find on releasing it
that it will disappear altogether, The
whole section of Country surrounding this
field gives evidence of marshiness, and
the least rain produces an abundance of
mud. But the question comes up, has
not this body an outlet? Although
brackish, the water tastes as If fresh, and
is evidently not stagnant. Yet these fish
are eyeless and scaleless, similar to those
found in caves.

Fish Not a Brain Food.

DIR. ]. w. Draper, in an article in Har-
per's Magazine for April says: Since dur
ing the acts of sensation and intellection
phosphorus consumed in the brain and
nervous system, there arises q necessity
to restore the portions consumed, or, as
the proper expression is, to use brain
food. Now, as everybody knows, it is the
property of phosphorus to shine in the
dark and as fish in certain stage of
putrifactive decay often emit light, or be-
come phosphorescent, it has been thought
that this is due to the abundance of phos-
phorus the fish contains, and hence they
are eminently suitable for the nourish-
ment of the nervous system, and are an
invaluable brain food. Under this idea
many persons resort to diet of fish, and
persuade themselves that they derive
advantage from it In an increased vivid
ness of thought, a single improvement in
the reasoning powers. But the flesh of
fish contains no excess of phosphorus nor
does its shining depend upon that ele-
ment. Decaying willow wood shines
even more brilliantly than decaying fish
it may be discerned afar off at night. The
shining in the two cases is due to the same
cause--oxidation of carbon, not of phos-
phorus, in organic substances containing,
perhaps, not perceptible trace of the lat
ter element. Yet surely no one found
himself rising to poetical feryor by tast-
ing decaying willow wood, though il
ought, on these principles, to be better
brain food than much larger quantity oi
fish.

Coffee sing in Florida.

While in Georgia tea culture is begin
ming TO attract attention, In some portions
of Florida the culture of coffee is excit-
ing interest. The Tampa Tribune says :
Mrs. Joe Atzeroth, living on the south
bank of Manatee river, near Braidentown,
was two coffee trees, bearing this year
for the first time, as we learn from
gentleman recently from there.
With proper care and judicious efforts
there certainly can be no doubt of the
probability of raising coffee in South
Florida, especially in certain parts of
Manatee county and in the Caloosahatchie
county. II would be interesting to know
if any efforts have been made in this lat
ter region to grow this tree, and if SO, with
what success"

Delteaey OF Mint Scales.

The fine gold-weighing scales made in
Philadelphia for the New Orleans mint,
and placed in position recently, are mar
vels of mechanical invention and accurate
workmanship. The larger of the two has
capacity of 10000 ounces troy, or about
6S6 pounds ayoirdupois and, when loaded
with its full weight, will indicate varia-
tion of 1000 part of an ounce, or 1-100,-
900 part of its weighing capacity. An
other pair Of scales is the one intended
for weighing gold only. It has bearings
composed of the finest agates, which have
been ground with wonderful precision.
So delicate is this machine that it will
give the precise weight of a human hair,
and is susceptible to the slightest atmos-
pherio changes. Millions of dollars worth
of precious metals will be weighed an
nually upon these scales.

The Ocean Floor.

There is an end of all romance about
hidden ocean depths. We can speculate
no longer about pearls, or mermaids,
heaped treasures, aud dead mems bones
whitening the coral caves. The report
of the exploring expedition sent out from
London in III. M. s. Challenger has lately
been published Nearly four years were
given to the examination of the currents
and floors of the four great oceans Of the
world. The Atlantic, We are told if
drained, would be a vast plain, with a
mountain ridge in the middle, running
parallel with the American coast. Another
ridge crosses it from Newfoundland to
ireland, on the top of which lies a sub
marine cable. The ocean is thus divided
into three great basins, no longer un-
fatholnable depths" The tops of these
sea mountains are two miles below ship.
and the basins, according to Reclus, if
teen miles, which is deep enough drown
ing, if not for mystery. The mountains
are whitened for thousand miles by a
tiny, creamy shell. The depths are red
in coler, heaped with volcanic matter.
Though the black, motionless waters of
these abysses move gigantic abdormal
creatures, which never rise to the upper
currents.
There is an old legend coming down to
US from the first ages Of the world by
which these scientific deep-sea soundings
throw curious light. Plato and Solon
recorded the tradition, ancient in their
days, of country in the western seas
where fiourished the first civilization Of
mankind, which, by volcanic action, was
submerged and lost. The same story IS
told by the Central Americans, who still
celebrate in the fast of Izeall, the fright
full catastophe which destroyed the land
with its stately cities. Do Bourgborg and
other Psychologists assert that this lost
land extended from Mexico beyond the
West Indies. The shape of the plateau
discovered by the Challenger corresponds
with this theory.-Noah's Sunday Times.
