FROM FLORIDA A TANK,
ARRIVAL OF TIE LARG EST sEA-COW
THAT EVER WAS CAUGHT

ARRIVAL OF TIE LARG EST SEA-COW
THAT EVER WAS CAUGHT
The largest Mexican manatce ever eX-
hibited in this country, and one of the
largest ever seen by those familiar with
tie habits of this gigantic cetacean, arri-
we'd in New York from Florida, where he
was clptllred in the st. Lutte river some
four months ago. From the tip OF his
hose to the end of his tail, which IS SINH
lar externally to the ia of fish, the an
imal measures IL feet, being feet lon
ger than the specimen on exhibition al
the Central Park some years ago, and
two feet longer than the average of the
mature manatee in his native waters
!, The weight of the huge sea mouster is
about 5000 pounds, and his breadth
across the shoulders is feet. The
weight of the park specimen was only
450 pounds, and in a circumference at
the shoulders was little less than 5
feet. A male, and the largest .one eve:
captured, the Stypman brothers-who
are the happy proprietors of the find
had no easy task before them to bring
their captive home after they had secured
him.
They finally hit upon an expedient of
binding him securely between two heavy
oak planks, in which situation they man.
aged TO prevent him from upsetting the
boat. He was afterward transferred to
the large tank in which he was brought
to New York.
The manatee is so rare as to be an OBJ
ject of interest to those well-versed in
natural history, and there are few COM
parative anatomists, probably who can
describe its anatomical structure. Ex
rnllly cetacean, it is internally allied
to the rodents, and has the powerful
snout of that order, but it feeds on alge
and fungi, and has the long intestine of
all vegetable eaters. This specimen
will be taken to the Royal Aquarium
at Westminster for exhibition and then
to France. 1t is valued at $4,000.

Activity in ConnellsviIIe Coke

The Republican Standard of Union
town, says: "a run through the famous
coke country about Mt. Pleasant de-
velops the fact that every coke oven in
the district is ablaze. Works which have
been lying idle for years are now in the
full tide of prosperity, and the outlook
Is c rtainly encouraging. New ovens
are being erected on every hand, promi-
nent among which are the works of A.
A. Hutchinson & Bro, at Mt. Pleasant,
known as the Standard mines. At these
works 1l5 overs have been erected in
the past few months, and 60 more are to
be erected Immediately, when the ca
pacity will be 10000 bushels of coke per
day. The same company have 92 ovens
at what is known as Gl be mine, near
Bradford, and the combined works put
over 10000 bushels Of coke upon the
market daily. Messrs. Boyle Il Hazlet',
near Mt. Pleasant, are building 100 new
ovens, making 2S2 ovens in all for this
company. Rumors are prevalent that
Messrs. II. Clay Frick Il Co., intend
erecting at an early day, some 300 ovens
in the immediate vicinity of Mt. Pleas
ant. The civil engineers have been lay
ing out the ground lately, and the affair
is rapidly assuming the appearance of
reality. At the Buckeye mines, John M.
Cochran, owner and operator, thirty or
forty new ovens are about completed,
ready for active work Chas. Markle, of
West Newton, is breaking ground for a
number of ovens on what is known as
the June Bug Branch Road, an oflshoot
of the Mount pleasant branch of the
Pittsburg Division of the Baltimore and
OHIO Railroad. Thus it will be seen
that the coke operators mean business,
and the Connellsville region is destined
to become even more famous than at
| present."

Sing Hey! the Cat-O.Nine Tails and
the Tar

There are three British cats-the
"navy cat," the "marine cat" and the
"prison cat" The prison cat has nine
lashes, each yard long, on handle
nineteen inches long, and on each lash
posed, will make separate laceration at
each fair stroke. 1t is a cat, therefore,
with twenty-seven claws. If a prisoner
comes to the scratch with this animal,
and gets "twenty on the bare back" he
ought to retire with five hundred and
forty lacerations of the skin, in case the
executioner is not delinquent through
squeamishness. But this animal is a
mere kitten, almost rabbit-by COM
parisOn with the creature which the
queen uses on the backs of the heroes of
her. navy. ID is recorded in heroic
strobhes that ''Frcnclrman can whip
two Portuguese, and an Englishman can
whip all three" and, of curse, the cat
that is expected to whip him in his turn
must be no gentle creature. The "cat
approved for use on board her majesty's
ships, for seamen and marines" has nine
knots on each tail, and makes eighty-one
lacerations at stroke, or for twenty
strokes, sixteen hundred and twenty
bleeding points. In case that called
for fifty strokes there would be foul
thousand and fifty lacerations. Suppose
the surface exposed fer punishment to be
equal to three square feet, and the lacer-
alton to be distributed impartially, ii
would be impossible to find trace of
uniform skin, after such punishment. The
House of Lords voted that England
could not dispense with the use of an in
strllment like this in the army.
