some Feats I'm swimming.

Something oyer 40 years ago, a sea-
man belonging TO her majesty's ship
Oreetes, threw himself overheard as
means ofescaping punishment for some
offence. He was picked up by fish,
ing-boat seven hours afierward OFF the
coast of Spain, and stated that he had
bsen swimming coward the land all the
time. About the same peroid, two men
swan up the river Mersey from Liver
pool to Runcorn; they accomplished
the distance in something less than
four hours. Passing over long it,
terval, during which many swims were
recorded of few hours duration, We
come TO the more recent exploits of
Capt. Webb, certainly the most re-
markable man swimmer of whom We
have authentic record. After some no.
table achievements in the Irish sea, he
undertook the astonishing feat of swim
ming across the whole breath of the
English channel, despite Its very rough
Sc. On the first attempt he could only
reach part Of the way, and was for
safety brought back By an attendant
steamer. His second attempt, in 1875
was quite successful; he swan for
nearly p hours continuously, from
Dover to the French coast near Calais;
he was supplied occasionally with re-
freshments by persons near at hand,
but he never touched boat or ground
during this prolonged interval. In the
same year young damsel, Miss Ag-
nes Beckwith, daughter of Beckwith.
the teacher of swimming, gave clear
proof that the weaker sex is strong
enough 10 achieve remarkable results
in this art; she swan down the Thames
from London bridge to Greenwich,
amid the crowded shipping of that part
OF the river. In spirit of emulation,
Emily Parker daughter of another pro-
fessional swimmer, slightly exceeded
Agnes Beckwith's distance by SWIM
ming from London bridge to Black
wall. Cavill, another swimming master
accomplished the distance from Dover
70 Ramsgate, he was six hours and
half doing the feat, but he was more dis
tressed with the heat of the sun beat
Ing down upon his head and the sun
shine glaring into his eyes than with
fatigue. Quite recently the London
public have been astonished by proofs
of the great length of time that persons
can remain floating with or without
swimming. At the Westminster aquar-
ium is a large tank constructed for the
temporary reception of a live whale.
In this tank Agnes Beckwith remain
ed afloat for 30 hours, without touch
ing ground or sides of the tank, sing
ing little and occasionally reading a
newspaper to pass away the dreary
monotony, and taking refreshments
handed 10 her. The water had a strong
infusion of salt thrown in il to increase
Its buoganoy. Since that time Capt.
Webb has eelipsed everything else of
the kind known. In the recent month
OF May he remained in the whale tank
no less than Sd hours continuously,
floating all the time, and never touch
ing sides or bottom.

that's fact, and lis also indisputable
that the generosity of most men Is al
ways In exact Inverse ratio TO the
amount OF thel wealth. In Portland,
Oregon, the other day, an old clothes
dealer found 81 900 in greenbacks In
the lining of a coat handed him by
mistake in place of an old one he had
just purchased from a miserly capita
list. The next day the dealer returned
and stated the facts. Instead OF hand
ing the conscientious man ac least a
fourth OF the money, what did the old
skinflint do? He gave him the pr.cely
reward of $2.50 in short weight quart
ers. When the honest old clothes man
got around 4 correr he said to himself,
.oftly, Magnificent idea; that OF re-
turning him counterfeit notes for the
amount. Twill just give me time TO
get out of the State" And he went
serenely off to buy steamer ticket
with the $3.50. Thus virtue is its own
reward.

Most people are familiar with "spark"
which ay be produced under certain
conditions by stroking the fur of a cat ;
and travellers in Canada and other cold i,
dry countries have witnessed the still
more remarkable phenomenon of the
human body being turned into con-
ductor OF electricity, and the possibility
of lighting the gas b. merely placing
ones 1inger-given the necessary con-
dItions OF electrical excitement-near
the gas jet, without any other agency.
Mr.. A. w. Mitchison, the African
traveller, who is engaged in writing a
narrative of his exploring expeditions
In western Central Africa, gives some
still more startling facts. He states
that one evening, when striking an
African native, in a moment OF anger,
with a cOwhIde whip, he was astOnish-
ed to see sparks produced, and still
more surprised to find the natives
themselves were quite accustomed to
the phenomenon. He subsequently,
found that very light touch, repeated
several times under certain conditions
of bodily excitement, and in certain
states OF the atmosphere, would pro-
duce a succession OF sparks from the
bodies of native men as we'll as native
cattle,

Lightning strokes.

The fatalities from lightning are very
much greater in number and extent
than is generally supposed. In Euro
pean Russia alone the deaths for five
years-lS10-7I-we l,452 men and
SIS women. No fewer than ,092 fires
are here also officially reported from
the same causes during this peri id. In
Prussia, where tie registration of the
causes of death is exceptionally care
ful, l.O4 persons were reported as
killed by lightning in the nine years
1869 to 1877. If we may trust the re-
port OF our Register General this couu-

period the deaths amounted TO $50, AMI
OF these only 243 were women. Nothing,
indeed, is more striking in these statis-
tics than the uniform preponderance in

the female sex. With the exception OF
