and one which might overtake the most eau tious skipper if his officers were less sedu- lous in consulting the glass.
 Occasionally the mysteries are presented in the most beWiIdeIing way. Such a case was that of vessel which, several years ago, was found drifting with all sail set and not a soul on board. All her boats were on the davits, the materials for meal were in the galley coprsrs, the ehronometers, compasses, charts and instr dments were in the cabin, but no ships papers. The name on the steIa yves painted out; nothing had been left by which to identify her. Yet all these pre- cautions had besn taken deliberately, while the final evacuation seemed to have been ef- feoted with suddenness suggesting mortal panic. The mems things were I'll in the top gallant forecastle; the captains and officers effects were all in their respective cabins un- der the poop. The whole appearance of the vessel indicated that her people had left her on the spur of the moment driven by some overmastering impulse or fear. She had ens countered no bad weather since the deser- tion. Her yards were braced up es for a tra1e wind, and there was no disorder on her decks or down below. No line of writing was found to give 8 clue to this dark secret of the sea, and to this day it hes remained an insoluble puzzle to every esaman acquaint- ed with the facts. Sad and mysterious es gre disappeare 1ces such e that of the Far res1t, it must be admitted that ttsre is something even more peI plexing in the dis covery of derelicts abandoned % incompre. hepsib1y as was the vessel here referred to. It should be added that she wes not leaking. nor were her spars sprung or strained, and no reason could be perceived in enythirg about her for the disappearance of her crew end ofieeTs.

mYsTERTRs OF THE SEA.

Complete DIsaPpearanee of Ships
 Finding Vessel Wftheut Crew.
 The New York Tribune calls attention to the frequency of mysterious occurrences in connection with ocean vessels, generally the disappearance of the ship itself, and in one case of the crew only: On the 20th of lest January the good clipper ship FaIragut, Cap-
 tain Hardwicke, sailed from Calcutta home-
 ward bound From that time nothing has
 been heard of her, for the report that her
 wreck had been seen some twelve hundred
 miles from Calcutta does not appear to have
 any solid foundation She passed away into
 the ocean like SO many stanch vessels before
 her. and the probability is that her fate will
 never be known. Already she has been
 struck off the maritime list, which means
 that she is definitely given up as lost. The
 records of marine disaster contain many
 more cases of this kind than landsmen
 would be apt to suppose. A ship leaves port
 apparently in good condition, her cargo well
 slowed, her spars sound and generally well
 found. After that nothing is ever heard of
 her and conjecture is vain. A sudden squsll may have taken her abaek and sent her to the bottom stern foremost, or she may have foundered in gale etter all her boats had been destroyed, or her boats might have got away and perished one by one on the wide ocean plains. Sometimes, but rarely, there has been 8 mntiny and massacre, and the survivors may have made their way to soma tropical island, there to live as "beachcombers" or turn savage with the savages.
 When fire occurs at sea on a merchant vessel, unless the vessel is very bad at the time, the grew generally succeed in getting l away. A mutiny may be followed by the burning of the ship es a ineans of destroy | ing eliminating evidence. In the China l seas there are still some pirates, and 8 vessel becalmed in the neighhorhood of some of the islands scattered in groups there might occur the danger of attack Dy the wicked looking junks that are usually concealed in the passage between the islets. ! In such case if there were no firearms on | board it might go hard with the ships com- pany, but good supply of shotguns or ri- l des in the hands of white men Is usually a guarantee against Chinese pirates. Still many vessels have met their fate in that un- | lucky region and nothing has remained to | tell the story. TyphoonB too are doubtless responsible for not a few mysterious disap- pearances of vessels, and once in while l probably waterspout bursts over ship and sinks her suddenly with all hands. In the | Indian Ocean furious squells often come up at night with . swiftness very menacing to 1 any heavy spared clipper slipping along with studdingsails set alows and aloft, and here again is possible carse of destruction

THF PANAMA WTTOH.

Sanguine old N. de Lesseps continues to
 predict that his big Panama ditch will soon
 be open for traffic. But the facts are very
 much against him. Indeed, it would not be
 surprising if it were never opened.
 Investors in this great scheme have much
 reeson to complain of the way in which their
 money and their confidence have been used.
 Dr. Wolfred Nelson hes been looking over
 the work and he tells very disasreeable
 story. What he calls ''a huge graveyard of
 machinery" exists at Tayernilla. Some five
 years ago great space wes freed from tropi-
 cal 3ungle, sidings were put in and no end of
 machinery put up, such as tre1spcTteuID
 grues and the like for the handling of earth,
 rock, etc. All of these were on wheels made
 to move on lines of rail. When he left Pan
 anna in April, 1885, lines of such material
 stood in the open, just opposite the stopping
 place at TaverEilla, on the line of the Pana- ma railway. He saw it there in 1886, when
 he saw M. de Lesseps on the isthmus inspect
 ing the canal plant. During his late visit on the isthmus he looked for this machinery much as one looks for old friends. At first sight he thought the machines had been re- moved. closer inspection showed young forest of tropicel undererowth. Literally they were grown In and save their smoke stacks no pert of them were visible. The latter were festooned with graceful spirals of tropical creepers. This huge quantity of ma- chinery never hes been undsr steam for working purposes. Shipload etter shipload of such machinery was discharged at Colon, csyT.ed from the continent st $10 ton. It cost great deal to take 1t out to the line of the canal. Then it had to be erected at great expense, never to be used. Time and again machinery hrs been sold for belfast. The company takes credit for $s0, ,0o0, 900 worth of machinery. ka engineer informed Dr. Nelson that two-thirds of it 's absolutely useless. Trains of dumping carJ ere hidden in the rank erasses. 4 whole siding of loco . motives has been lost to sight. n the canal besius at Colon all kinds of vessels may hs seen, steam tugs, steam launches, barges l boats, etc., abandoned and rseless, Eome partly submerged-a maine graveyard.
 This ts . pleasing picture for those who | have blindly followed De Lssseps' lsad. It | will be long time before the t1assss F FIench, \ men will want to build another canal.

Two Chem1eal Stories.

lBol,on Let IT to Inc Providence Joueanl.l
 A couple of good stories were recently told of an analytical chemist here, whose name is authority when attached to 8 certificate of putty. He was one day talking witk young brother chemist when men came in with bottle of whiskey.
 "I went this sample of whisksy snalyzed, :, he said, ."and when you have anelyz 1t I wish you would write letter to it's purity that we can publish.
 ''vely well, |" the chemist answered, taking the sample and marking it, ''I will attend to it; but shall have to have five gallons of the whisixey to test it thoroughly"
 "Five gallorsi" returned the manufacturer in Eoms SUI pIise. 'tI didn't know it took so much, but I'll send it over
 The wh;skey- maker retired, and the young chsmi tt tr- led to the elder.
 "What in world D he esked' "do you want Of five gallors of that whiskey9 You can't need more than hslf gill or so to test it"
 "YoUng man, " tho other answered, @ look of mil and wisdom coming over his face, didn't you hear him say he wanted letter to publish? It is aE-olutely eeIsain that whisk- ey must be prre."
 took the implied lesson in worldly Fiedom to t0 the heart
 The second story told of the same chemist is to the effect that manufacturer of some patient compound or other came into his lab oratolJ one day with bottle containing an l unwholesome looking mixture. ''I would give hundred della1s," he said, ''to know what would make the water and oil in this emulsion seps -ate." l The chemist looked at it. l ''Ve1y well, he said, f::write your check
 "Check," the othered echoed. ssYes, youl check for hundred dolla1s You say you are W filing to give that and for that price am wiling 10 tell you what will mske the water and oil separate" l The visitor hesitated moment and then wrote his check for the snm named. Ths chemist carefully deposited it in his pocket book and then quietly dropped into liquid { pinch of common salt. Insanity the water and oil separated and whether the client wal satisfied or not he had got what he wanted 1 and he had paid his own price for it. !
