An Elephant wrecks a BustIe.

Catherine Cole, one of the best known
literary women of the South, told New
York Mail and Express reporter that the
worst fright she ever got in her life was
from the defunct elephant, Jumbo. The
lady described the thrilling incident as
follows: 81 was in England and visited the
Geological gardens frequently. That was
before Jumbo became noted for having
the 'moost, as the Mahouts call it-bad
temper in English. One fine day attired
myself in a new dress with an exceeding
ly large hustle, as was the style then,
and in my rounds dropped in at the Zoo.
II was walking around the garden
when suddenly felt myself lifted like a
feather into the air / tried to scream,
but L could not, l didn't have the time.
The power that raised me aloft had me by
the hustle, and l could hear that protu-
berance crushing together as if a noun
tain had smashed it. Then l described
a semi-circle and was let down, hustle
and all, on the walk. / heard a shout of
merry childish voices and Jumbo passed
with twenty or thirty children on his
back 1t seems that was just in front
of him and quick as thought he seized
me by the hustle of my dress and care
fully lifted me to one side. His gentle
squeeze of my hustle broke it into use
less wreck, and lost five pounds of flesh
from concentrated fright 1t took me an
hour TO realize exactly what had hap
pened and take an inventory of the smash
up. never went back to the Zoo any
more. am now as Texas cowboy is

Curious Timepieces.

In the year 1889 transparent watch
of small size, constructed princip ally OF
rock crystal, was presented to the Acad
envy of Sciences in Paris. The works
were all visible; the two-teethed wheels
which carried the hands were of rock
crystal and the others were metal. All
the screws were fixed in crystal and each
axis turned on rubies. The escapement
was of sapphire, the balance wheel of
rock crystal and the spring of gold. 1t
kept excellent time.
A curiosity in the way of watches was
shown by the director of the Watch
makers school at Geneva before the ho-
rological section of the society of arts at
a meeting last year. This wonder is
nothing less than watch with one
wheel, manufactured at Paris in the last
century.
A recent number of the Jeloelers' Circu-
lar describes an ancient musical clock
now in possession of citizen of Mari
eta, Wis. 'It is 235 years old and
keeps good time The movement, is
made of wood, lead and iron.
The weight that runs the
musical part weighs fifty pounds. Il
plays a piece every hour, but it is rather
hoarse at present from old age. The dial
is large, and has the paintings of William
Penn, describing his history. At the top
are FIVE musicians dressed in uniforms,
who raise their instruments to their lips
as they begin to play. The case is made
of maple and mahogany. Itwas made in
the year 1649, and was brought to this
country in 1S47 by party of emigrants,
being the only timepiece brought with
them.n
A paragraph went the rounds of the
newspapers some time ago, describing

A novel form of clock has recently
been designed by an English artizan.
The face has the form of tambourine
decorated with a wreath of twelve How

mark the hours, and oyer them glide two
gayly painted butterflies, one larger than
the other. These ARE the hands, the
larger indicating the minutes, the small

behind the tambourine, and the motions
of the butterflies, which are made of
magnetic metal, are produced by mag
nets carried on the arms, forming the

stream, and when about half mile below
the town came across Acting Masters
Mate Woodman, of the Commodore Hull.
Cushing assisted him all he was able, but
failed to get him ashore.
Completely exhausted, Cushing man
aged to reach the shore, but was too weak
to crawl out of the water until Just at
daylight, when he managed to creep into
the swamp close to the fort.
But four of the thirteen escaped. Some
were drowned, others shot and number
captured The prisoners were surrounded
by the now thoroughly aroused and in
furiated pob, who swore they would kill
the Yankees on the spot. Swords, re-
volvers, rifles and bowie knives were
branished and leveled. The guard hav-
ing the prisoners in charge appeared
powerless, when the commander of the
Albemarle forced his way through the
crowd and gained the side of the cap
tives. He was a tall, powerful man, and
exerting his strength soon cleared
space sufficient for the guard to reform
and fix bayonets. Then drawing his
navy revolver he stood between the
glaring, fuming soldiery and their would
be victims. Facing the crowd he swore
he would die by their side before a hair
of their heads should be harmed, and the
first one offering to molest them would
be shot. 81 have been thirty-fve years
in the United States navy" he said,
''and this is the bravest deed I have ever
known or heard of"
Under the protection of the Confeder-
ate naval officer the survivors were soon
lodged in place OF safety and left to
their own reflections. But they had
heard enough - convince them that the
grand object of their mission had been
accomplished, and that the Albemarle
was thing of the past.
Cushing rested In the secure depths of
the swamps until the sun had risen and
then started through the dense mass Of
mud, water and entanglements of roots
until finally he came out upon solid
ground some distance below the town.
Here he met negro who proceeded to
town and soon returned with the infor-
nation that the ram was sunk. Proceed
ing through another swamp he came to a
creek, where he captured skiff or dug
out belonging to- one of the advanced
pickets. With this and the aid of pad
die he managed to reach the Valley City
about IL o'clock that night.
1t was a. gallant exploit, unsurpassed
for GOODNESS in the history of any navy on
the face of the globe. A naval writer
thus renders the tribute of praise to his
brother officer. ga more heroic picture
can hardly be conceived than Cushing.

The death of sea captain recently
was ascribed by medical authorities to
blood-poisoning, caused by his vessel
carrying a cargo of nitrate of soda. The
sailors were affected by what they called
rheumatism. The captain, being in the
after-cabin, suffered the full force of the
evaporation of the nitrate. It is said
that four captains in the employ of a
leading eastern shipping firm have died
within q few years from this same
cause.

Mr.. Ivan Levinstein, the president OF
the Manchester section of the Society of
Chemical Industry, calls attention TO a
new substance which is extracted from
coal tar, and possesses sweetening prop
critics far stronger than the best cane or
beet-root sugar. The substance, he said,
seemed likely TO enter into daily con-
sumption. According to Mr.. Levinstein,
one part of it will give very sweet taste
to 10, 600 parts of water, for it is $50
times sweeter than best sugar, and taken
in the quantities added to food as sweet
ening material, has no injurious effects
on the human system. Patients suffering
from diabetes have been treated for the
last few months in one of the principal
hospitals in Berlin with saccharin with
out feeling in the least inconvenieneed
bv its use. The use of saccharin would,
therefore, Mr.. Leyinstein said, be not
merely probable substitute for sugar,
but it might even be applied to medicinal
purposes where sugar was not permissi-

Americans probably invest more money
in farming tools than any other people.
BY the census of 1880 the value of aQri-
cultural implements made the previous
year was s0s, 900, 900. Ten years is
long life to the average of farm tools, and
many are worthless after three or four
years use or rust. It is probable that the
entire amount invested in farm tools now
in use is nearly or quite 81, 900, 600, 900.
