In room arrest the onenqer Is con-
fined to his own quarters. lie Is not
allowed to leave them without permits
sion, nor to receive visitors. When
arrest is enforced against captains or
subaltcrns, a particular room may
be set apart for the purpose, but IN
this event it is called severe room
arrest, and is judicial, not
disciplinary, punishment. During
room arrest, as during all SINH
lar restrictions on liberty, the Offend
ing officer can neither carry arms
nor wear any decorations which h. may
possess. When, however, he has OBJ
tanned permission to leave his room ne
is allowed to carry MS sword. When
an officer is sentenced to room arrest
his sword is received by another and
delivered over to the governor or COM
mandant of the fort; in simple room ar

ceives and retains his arms. This duty
usually falls to the adiutant, but if nc

A Remarkable Spectacle Witnessed BY TIVE
F,.b.rmen During Mountain Storm.
A Pocono lPs.) special says: An
drew Cobb and Lewis Cobb, of Oak
land, went to Knob Pond, in Pike coun-
ty, on Monday, to fish and remain over
night. They went out on the pond in
the evening TO "jack" for deer. While
they were on the opposite side of the
water from their cabin heavy thunder
shower came up and they started to
row back. The rain fell in sheets and
the thunder and lightning were terrific.
Before they had rowed half way across
the pond lightning struck in seven diff
ferent places around it, and seven trees
were in a blaze. The play of the electrici-
ty was so continuous that the pond was
wrapped in almost steady blaze OF
lieht-so steady, in fact, that the light
from the rejecting lamp in the bow OF
the boat could have been dispensed
with. Soon after the last stroke OF
lightning on the shore there came a clap
of thunder that seemed to be directly
over their heads, and almost simulta-
neously with the report a ball of fire
shot down into the lake quarter of a
mile away. The report was followed
in Quick succession by two Others
equally terrific, and each was accom-
panied by a simultaneous fash of light
and the dropping into the lake of balls
Of fire like the first.
The men were filed with terror at
thc acene, but bent all their energies to
reach the shore and seek shelter in
their cabin. The play of lightning
continued, and when the fishermen had
approached within hundred yards OF
their cabin, which was near the shore,
there came another terrible thunder.
clap and a fash of lightning that blinded
them. When they recovered from the
dazed condition in which it left them
they saw that the bolt had descended
ON their cabin, which was in flames
The men then floated about on the lake
for the twenty minutes the frightfu
storm lasted, momentarily expecting ar
electric shaft to fall uponth Three
more trees were shattered by lightning
in the vicinity of the pond before thu
storm passed over.
The Cobbs are old woodsmen, an(

Animals of New Guinea.


In Australia the only big animal
which is not marsupial is the dog, and
this was probably first brought over by
man. New Guinea has not only dogs,
but pigs and it seems to US an odd
thing that the natives, though they have
dogs, should make pets Of pigs. Pa
puan women will nurse and fondle a
pig as an English lady caresses her
dog-though the dog, too, has been
considered an unclean aSimal. Dogs
are sometimes sacrificed in New Guinea.
Australasia has another kind Of strange
beasts, lowly. organized and ranking
even below the marsupials. OF these
the best known is the famous " Orni'
thorhynchus paradoxus," the platypu'
or duck mole, which its first discover.
ers hardly knew whether to class as {
beast or bird. After time anothe'
animal Of the same order was found. ;
kind Of prickly ant-eater, and two spe
cies Of this creature were found in New
Guinea. There is, therefore, every
hope Of finding new and strange beasts
to say nothing OF other animals. Tn
birds of New Guinea are beautiful il
the extreme; some Of them have beef
known longer than their country; TO
hence come the wonderful birds Of para
disc, which were brought long az
to Europe, though living specimens
such as those now in the geological gar
dens, have been seen there but seldom
The skins were sent to the West wit
the legs cut of, whence arose the fabl
that these lovely creatures were inhabl
tants Of the air alone, and never settle
on this dull earth ct all. The splendi
crown pigeons, great blue birds wit
the stateliest cresss, several ofwhichma
be seen At the geological gardens, ais
como from New Guinea, where the
were first noticed BY the famous Eng
lish navigator, Dampier.

A Boston telegram says: Sumner
Hartwell, the octogenarian hermit oil
Shirley, is dead. He lived and died IN
the room where he was born. tie
passed half his life in locality where
he could hear the locomotive whistle
daily, yet he never rode on train oil
cars, and knew not the appearance OF
the inside of an ordinary freight ca
boose. He had no idea Of the ma
ture of the telegraph instrument, and had
/ failed to gaze upon the telephone trans
mitter. Horse-cars would have been
as strange to him as they would have
been to the North American Indian in
1887. OF the several towns near Shir-
lev he had visited only two. The city
of Fitchburg, two miles away, he knew
no more about than he did of Herat.
From the hilltop where he passed his
days can plainly be seen the church
spires in Nuremberg, three miles away
vet Sumner Hartwell knew as much
about Constantinople as he did Of
Nuremberg. lie had been to TOWNSEND
Harbor, an adjacent village, and had
paid visits to grist-mill on
the edge of Groton, but at that point he
would not alight from his team. Neither
curiosity nor a desire for information
had ever prompted him to learn in just
what manner his corn was turned into
meal. Hartwell never saw circus,
never attended country cattle show,
never heard of thousand matters
familiar to every school-boy in the land.
For forty years he had not attended
church, but he made the request that
when he died the bell upon the Unita-
rian church be tolled, and it was.
Politically this odd fellow was Re-
publican, but he did not follow closely
the political world. He voted for
Blaine last year, but he did not larry
at the polls. disappointment in love
is popularity supposed to have caused
him to seclude himself from the world,
but nothing definite on this point is
