no answer could be got Another
midshipman was sent. In a shor
time both were safel Y on deck and oul
minds relieved.
"On arrival on deck the young mar
appeared dazed and complained o
having burned his thumb, and al
once took him to my lighted cabin tc
ascertain the amount of injury. Or
examination | found the pupils of his

by light, the thumb of the left hand
drawn and very painful, and the whole
Of the arm distinctly numb. The
pulse taken on the affected slde) 11J,
temperature, 102 deg. ID min. The
patient stated that on his arrival at the
seat of the electric phenomenon the
flame assumed distinctly blush color
and was apparently attached to the
mast in much the same way as the
flame to the wick of candle. On
touching it with his left hand (his right
meantime holding on to the mast he
received distinct electric shock and
felt his finger burnt. Great cardiac
disturbance took place and spasmodic
respiration combined with loss of pow
er, with numbness Of hand and arm,
also temporary deafness, shown by his
not having heard us call to him from
the deck--the night being Il good one
for transmission of sound.
"The numbneSs of the arm passed
away in about an hour. but the thumb
continued painful till next morning,
when he seemed all right again, and
returned to his duty. After the exper-
iment ordered him to his bunk, Civ.
ing him a stiff glass of rum and allow
ing him to smoke.
"My young operator in this most in
teresting experiment is Il clear-headed
young man, aged 20, son Of general
in the British army, and II capital sub
ject to work on the case. He was at
the time of the experiment in perfect
health
about fifty seconds after it was
touched the flame disappeared and did
not again appear.
"The ship was in lat. % deg, south
and lon. l26 deg. 40 min. west, steering
north-by-east, with the wind southeast.
The captain, mate, and several others

The Lions Tongue.

The very peculiar formation Of the
lions tongue did not escape the notice
o. our anatomist, but he does not say
very much about it. have now in
my hand the dried tongue of a hon; il
is covered with sharp, pointed, horny
papillr, set very thickly upon its sur
face. The papillW on the front portion
of the tongue are much larger than
those in the rear part ofthe tongue, but
the smaller ones are much closer To-
&c thcr than those in front. Each pa
piile consists ola horny spine, the point
ot curved and set directly backward
reminding me much ofthe spines on
the tail Of the thornback ray. On ap
plying this lions tongue To the cheek
! find that the roughness is SO great
that with little pressure wound
might easily be made in the human
skin The use of this is to scrapc of
tho meat from the bones Of the ami
mails, Tor the lion is not 4 great bone

especially constructed for the cracking
Of bones. This peculiar roughness Q

A CURIOUS HISTORY.
4 Kansas BOY Who Assumed His
Fathers Crime Of Murder.

The Detroit Post and Tribune. A lad
in the Kansas penitentiary, who CON
fcssed n few years ago to having MUIR
dcred ut Topeka, man named Ferris,
now poses before the public rs II de-
voted SON He says he became con
vin2ed ut once that his father had com
mitted the murder, but ut the coroner's
inquest shielded him and convicted
himself. The father then got out on
bail, and the boy remained in Jail five
months. During his confinement the
father visited the son frequently. On
one of these visits the boy was told
that there was bag containing pair
Of boots Oh top Of cupboard in the
jailer's Office, and the father wanted
them secured and burned. There were
two doors between the prison and the
office, but, to the surprise of the boy,
the iailer strangely left these two doors
unlocked, and the bag was very easily
got, and, in the presence of other pri-
soners, burned in the stove. Two of
these witnesses are now III the peniten-
tiary. These boots, it seems, were the
fathers, and bore marks that pointed
to his guilt. After that the boy was
persuaded to sacrifice himself to save
his father, upon the promise that n
pardon would be procured in n few
years ON the ground of his Youthful
ness. Afterward the mother visited
the prisoner, and he thereupon con.
fesscd to her that he had killed Ferris
in quarrel When the case came up
for trial the young man pleaded guilty
to the charge, and wholly exonerated
his father from all completely in the
bloody deed. After the prisoner had
been i'll the penitentiary year, his
father and mother went to California
After five years the mother returned
and endcavored to procure II pardon
for her boy, but failed. This intelli.
gcnce was conveyed by letter to the
father, and he killed himself. The
knowledge of the suicide, however, did
not reach the boy until some time last
September. This is one of the most
remarkable statements in criminal an
nails, That Il boy Of Il, should have
the nerve to consign himself to dis.
graceful imprisonment to shield II COW.
ardly father seems incredible.

ST. ELMO'S FIRE.
The Mystic Flame that Burned and
shocked n Young MidshipMan

The following account of an electric
nj phenomenon, which was witnessed
on the British ship John o. Gaunt, APP
peared III the San Francisco Bulletin,
over the signature Of H. Foord Clark,
the ships physician:
During the evening Of Nov. %, 1850,
the atmosphere had been disturbed,
and had presented to our gaze five Won
derful waterspouts, one of great size
and volume. After the excitement
consequent ON watching the waterspouts
was over, retired, and had just made
myself ready for the night when the
chief officer came to mo on to the poop.
On my arrival there | perceived II
bright globe of light ut the mizzcn-roy-
nj mast, Of Il clear yellow tint, burning
steadily, and unaffected either by the
motion Of the ship or by the wind the
globe being about the size Of Il large
tumbler. recognized 1t rs the magic
| light Of st. Elmo. observed it care
fully for some time, and was wishing
that could climb the mast and make
n nearer view of this magic flame,
when one Of our midshipmen came
forward and volunteered to ascend,
Here, then, was my chance Of making
m experiment through medium
which believe has never before been
attempted, and in that way aiding the
knowledge Of my fcllow-men. Hav
