There is one event in every canoe regatta
that amuses the lay spectator-the upset"
race. The sailing races may be tiresome,
and devoid of interest through lack of wind
The padding races may be exciting; but for
pure fun the upset race is sure to cary off the
palm. 1t is, to begin with, short race, of
about 200 feet. The canoes are started just
as in padding races, and when well under
way, a signal is given from shore, at which
every paddler must Immediately capsize his
canoe, turn it completely over, regain his
seat, and paddle to the finish. The overturn-
ing of the whole feet of canoes at the same
instant is novel and ludicrous sight, and
the struggles of the paddlers to crawl over
the sides of the canoes, without again upset
ting them, are very funny 10 watch.
These races have produced more skill in
handling the canoe under difficulties than
any other event. The contestants must be
good swimmers and strong They must be
active and thoroughly accustomed to the
water, and must have practical knowledge
of balance. If an upset" or imam over
boardn event should be added to rowing re-
gattas it might go far toward reducing the
annual number of accidents and fatalities
| from this fine sport The fun comes in at a
canoe upset" race mainly from the entire
absence of danger Risk is lacking simply
because the men who compete are all skillful
hands The training is invaluable to the
canoeists, and it has prevented many an &C
cident by giving the paddlers confidence in
the canoes and themselves when accidentally
placed in trying circumstances.-Out

1t is singular and as yet unexplained fact
that in certain species Of vegetable growth
there are found a variety of stones supposed
to be formed and deposited in their tissues
from the sihcious and calcareous Juices cir
culating in their organisms Thus, in the

that of a white pearl without much luster.
Some of the stones are as large as cherries
and as hard as feldspar or opal They are
very rare and are regarded as precious stones
by the orientals and charms against disease
or evil spirits by the natives. Stones of thii
kind are sometimes found in the pomegranate

LONDON, November 23.-At the sitting
of the Parnell commission to-day, In
spector of Police Higgins testified con-
corning the outrages at Castle Island,
County Kerry. On cross-examination
witness said he believed the farmers
sons initiated the outrages in order 10
evade thu payment OF rent. He knew
of bogus outrages Hs was not aware
the men connived to damage their own
property in order to secure compensa-
ton from quarter sessions. He did not
think all the outrages due to secret
societies; some were the result of
family quarrels, or private malice. He
connected the league with Moonlight
ing, because prior to the existence of
the league Kerry had been peaceful.
Lockwood, of the Parnellites' counsel,
asked witness how long he had been
engaged in getting up the case for the
Times
Sir Henry James, of counsel for the
Times, objected to the question, where
upon Sir Charles Russell exclaimed
warmly, 1--WE charge and intend to
prove that the whole executive author
ity even including the resident magis-
trates. is engaged in getting up the
Times cases."
Witness then denied that the Times
had employed him, and on redirect
examination witness stated that no case
of bogus outrage had ever been re-
turned ty the police as real outrage.

the expectation that the germs floating
about will be caught and killed. The
chlorine doubtless will remove some Of
fensive odors and rapidly diffuss itself
through the room, but TO act as a true
d~isinfectant it must be 80 much concen-
trated that the air In the space containing
