The SargassO Sea.

This is the name given TO a portion of
the Atlantic ocean covered with the sea-
weed, sargassum. Its boundaries may
be indicated by tracing triangle, of
which three corners are represented by
the Azores, the Canaries and Cape de
Verd. Within those limits the sea is
clothed on its surface with a garment of
vegetable material, so thick as TO retard
the progress of vessels sailing through
it. Steamers avoid it because of the
fouling of their screws and paddles by the
weed; but sailing vessels bound to the
West Indies, South America, the Cape of
Good Hope, etc, must pass through it..
When Columbus, on his first voy-
age, had got some distance to the west
ward of the Canary Islands, he was
amazed to find his ships in what looked
like a meadow. AS far as he could see,
the water was covered with greenish
yellow plant, as water lilies cover a
pond. This was the first time such q
thing had been seen and the sailors
were scared. Columbus could not ex-
plain the sight he saw, and might have
thought with his men, that the weed
was the covering of some dangerous
rock which lay a short distance down
readyto tear and rend them. The lead
was hove but no bottom was found. The
ships kept on their course, and in few
days they got clear of the weed.

Nothing on Earth so Good.

Certainly a strong opinion, said one
of our reporters to whom the following
was detailed by Mr.. Henry Kaschop,
with Mr.. George f. Miller, AIS Main

with rheumatism in my leg last winter
that was unable to attend to my work,
being completely helpless. 1 heard oi
st. Jacobs Oil and bought bottle, after
using which felt greatly relieved
With the use of the second bottle
was completely cured. In my estima.
ton there is nothing on earth so good
for rheumatism as st. Jacobs Oil. II

He Didn,t "Bunko." !"

The bunko men who sat down in De.
troit SIX weeks ago to make their pile
have had hard time of it, and must be
about ready to leave. Fact Is, the game
is too old to work on our citizens, and
strangers who reach here are generally
pretty well posted on all sorts of games
TO deceive. The other day there was a
dreadfully innocent-looking farmer
doing little trading at Woodward
avenue harness store, when one of the
bunko steerers got after him for a sheep
head. After following the stranger long
enough to learn his name and place of
residence, he suddenly confronted him
on the corner with;
"Hellol Mister Smith Well,
we'll l'
you've got the start of me" said the
old man as he looked hunko over.
"But | know you. You live Just out
side the corporation limits of Blank
vile, and have got one Of the best farms
in the county"
eyes, that's so, and who be you2"
"I am brother of the postmaster"
Is that SOP
eyes, and I've seen you in the post
Office hundred times. How are all the
folks ?"
Gail well, I believe"
The farmer not only knew what bunko
was, but his son was postmaster at
Blankville. Nevertheless he asked;
"Seen your brother lately ?"
"Not for three months, but I'm COM
ing up there next week."
q
you%
"Sure? Say, didn't you miss some
early pears one night last fall?"
"Yes."
"Well, Ina aim n great lover
of early pears, and 1 was there about
that time"
"Say, I'd like to speak to you," said
the farmer as he looked up and down
the street.
Certainly. Then we'll have a glass
of beer together and Ill show you
around town."
The two walked up Congress street to
Bates, and halfway down Bates to
Larned, and then the farmer reached
for the collar of the bunko chap and
said
"When l found them pears gone
swore I'd lick the thief if I had to live
a hundred years to do it !"
But I-I-W
"Stole my pears, did you-robbed
my pet trees, Ell - growled the farmer
as he slammed the young man around.
"Nol no never-w
"Lying won't help you bit !" NUT
tered the old man, and he put on steam
and cracked the boys heels together,
slammed him against brick wall and
flung him on a snow-heap with only
breath enough left in his body to agitate
feather, while his store clothes were a
sad sight to see.
"He stole my airly pears last fall, p"
explained the old man as several persons
came running up, "and if 1 hadn't got
the worth of em back I'll have to wait
till some other time. He'll come to
directly, and if he feels like talkin' he'll
give you all the little particulars I"
But when bunko was helped to his
feet he wouldn't say word, and was in
such hurry to get somewhere that he
wouldn't stop to dig the snow out of his
back hair.-DetrOH Free Press.

Queen Victoria's recent levee in curl
GUS costume, a compromise between the
East and the West. While his extrem-
tiles were incased in the black dress
trousers and patent-leather boots of what
we term civilization, his body was draped
in rich cashmere shawling, which hung
about his shoulders in graceful festoons,
while at the same time it formed a sort

An article in California newspaper
gives some interesting information in
regard to the present condition and
prospects of the kingdom of King
Kalakaua-the Sandwich Islands. The
native race it appears is dying out,
the terrible disease of leprosy being on
the increase. Since the reciprocity
treaty with the United States went into
effect the labor conditions of the country
have been greatly improved, the chief
beneficiaries being the Chinese, who
raise the greater portion of the sugar
crop and who are in a male numerical
majority on the islands. The elective
franchise is open to all, but thus far the
Chinese portion of the population mani
fest no desire to avail themselves of the
privileges of Hawaiian citizenship. The
future of the islands is an extremely in
teresting question. If the forces at
present in operation are allowed to work
unchecked the Mongolians will in few
years have complete control, and Homo
lulu will become small Hong Kong.
How and to what extent such condition
of affairs may affect American interests
is question which the future alone can
determine.

FACTS AND COMMENTS.

Some learned persons are advocating
the theory that outbreaks Of crimes are
due to sudden and peculiar meteorologic
charges. If the theory is correct it
seems to us that the criminal outbreak
per centage for the past winter should
be about the highest on record.
An association of the shipowners and
shipmssters of Maine, with five hundred
substantial members, has been organized
in Augusta. They believe that the
great prosperity of the country at large
is about to make itself felt in the ship
yards of Maine, and their purpose is to
aid in the revival of the great Industries
for which the State was long famous.
The organization, which represents
many million dollars, was perfected by
the election of permanent officers who
have enough to stake to secure their
best services.

Apropos of an article in its colum ms
the Christian Union says: 1t is worthy
of note that the coffee-houses estab-
lished in the chief English cities as a
means of keeping men away from liquor
shops have proved decided success,
many of them paying an annual divi-
dend of ten per cent. upon their capital.
They supply coffee, tea, cocoa, soups,
cold meat and bread and butter of good
quality and at low prices. Newspapers
are kept in abundance, and customers
are welcome to remain and read as long
as they please. Thus the coffee-house
serves the purpose of cheap club.
Similar experiments have proved
successful in Boston, Troy, st. Louis,
and other points in this country. 1t is a
matter for profound astonishment that
the organized workers against intem-
perance have paid so little attention to
the palpable facts that drinking is partly
due to the fact that men are thirsty,
partly to the desire for social good
fellowship, and neither thirst nor
fellowship is adequately provided for in
any of our great towns and cities except
by the hquor-shops.

In 1880 there were in the United
States no less than ITO boiler explO-
sions, which killed 259 persons and
wounded sos. 1t is remarkable that,
while the number of explosions per
month varies slightly, and is rather
larger in winter months, the number of
resultant casualties was decidedly largest
in June. Probably that was due to
the exceptional character of that months
disasters; but it is only fair to expect
that violent deaths will increase regu-
larly with the return of each excursion
season. A classification of the boilers
shows that forty-seven were used in
woodworking mills. Presumably wood
was used for fuel under such boilers,
and the much less equable temperature
produced by the burning of wood as
compared with coal would go far to ex-
plain the undesirable pre-eminence.
The next most numerous class of eXplo-
ded boilers numbered nineteen, and
were used in paper, Touring, pulp and
grist mills and elevators. Eighteen
exploded boilers were the motors of To-
comotives and fire engines, fifteen
were marine boilers, thirteen were
portables," being used in holsters,
thrashers, pile-drivers, cotton gins, ETC.,
and thirteen We're used in iron works.
As compared with 1879 there is large
increase in these figures. In 1879
there were but 1872 explosions, which
killed 208 persons and wounded $50.
This fact is traced to the reviv al of
trade, which demanded the new use OF
idle boilers, and in many cases the over
working of others.

Sister Comets.

Comet, from the Greek, long
a celestial body presenting nebu-
lous aspect and under the suns attrac-
tion.
new and brilliant comet was dis
covered early on Thursday morning
of last week in many localities in the
United States. 1t first appeared as a
luminous star with a nucleus well
defined, about two degrees north
northeast and ten degrees above the
horizon. Its tail was scarcely per-
ceptible at first but has been growing
in size and brilliancy ever since until
these mornings it presents a remark
ably beautiful sight. 1t is very large
and astronomers say IL car be photo
grapbed. One comet would be moth
ing remarkable to see without the
aid of telescope, but when on FRI
day another came suddenly and nm
heraldcd into yiew, aisdsten degrees
above the horizon but about two de-
grees north-nortlIwest, the astonish-
ment and interest was great. This
last one was not quite SO bright as
the first but has been growing in
beauty each night since. That these
are distinct aud separate comets there
is no doubt. Astronomers cannot fix
lHehi rs pcEiOulS dilu tucTciOTt tuel
must evidently be new, never having
made their appearance to the eyes of
the world before. The one seen in
the morning is reported the most
brilliant since that of 1913. In the
past two centuries many comets have
been seen. The most remarkable were
the ones of l7ii, which had six tails,
1850, 1897, 1911, 1915, 1919, 1925, 1913,
1867, Bielas, which divided into
two distinct comets of equal size,
1857, 1861 and 1862. There is not =
particle of danger to be apprchcnd
from the proximity of comets and it
is recorded that one has crossed the
path of the earth in its course around
the sun. People should be thorough
ly instructed that the superstitions
and outrageous notion of the world
coming 10 an end every time there is
a conjunction of planets, a comet or
shower of metcors, is the result of
diseased braiu, or for the purpose
of pandering to the sensational! read
ing public. The earth will move
along in its present path among the
planets long after its present inhabi-
tanis and those for million years tc
come have passed into dust.

Fridays Fighting.

Friday afternoon of last week was
Il gala dav for kuock-downs aud
bloody noses. The scene of most of
the conflict was at saloon just east
of the depot. The participants wers

Generally Yale is quiet, pcaceable
and gentlemaniy. but W hen he gets n

be quarrclsotne and wants to fight
somebody lie was in this condition
on Friday and consequently the
rumpus. About noon he attempted
10 get into quarrel with Policeman
Sharp by daring the officer to arrest
him, stating that he would 'sparaiize"
Sharp if he tried il. The policeman
had no excuse to take him in ut that
time but about 4 y. M. he had made
row sufficient to be arrested. Sharp
an;i Harry Tfovcy, another member
of Tie force went to SchelEs saloon

them coming skipped out of the back
door and dawn through Mr.. Ripley's
gqrd"u where lie attempted to con
ceal hiAlscif. The officers were on Ia
the racket, however, and soon
brought him out. He was taken up
town and Justice Clelland fined him
$500. The end was not yet. He
had friend near the depot whom he
said would put up the amount Con
sequoutly he WAS taken there a9ain
and Willie in the same saloon where
the rows occurred he managed to slip
away, starting cast on the railroad
track at the top of his speed. Officer
Hovey, who stood outside the door,
pulled his revolver, but the hammer
catching i'll his pocket, the pistol
went of prenaturely and the ball
Struck uovey between the first and
second fingers of his left hand, caus-
ing n painful wound. Sharp who was
inside tho room, heard this shot.
Rushing out he saw TEX" some dis
tance. down the track, going in hot
haste for some place OF conceaiment.
Sharp threw down his cane, pulled
his coat, drew his revolvcrs and
started in pursuit. lie soon gained
and then fired shot, which was fol-
lowed quickly by three more. Just
rs the last bullet wListlef by TEX
he sprang across ditch and endcav
ored to hide in the wcesis. Sharp
saw him go down and running up

him until ten could be counted Ia

evening his fine was paid and he lett
