SAPRiSTll MORBLEUl
Common Continental Oaths of Very Mild
Type Indeed.

1t is curious that we are quite un-
able to realize the enormity OF some OF
the commoncst continental oaths We
can, OF course, to certain extent, ap-
praise such terms as sacrc, sapristi
and morbcu (cuphemistic for mort
dieu), but on the other hand we wholly
fail to appreciate the swearing value
OF mile tonnerres and tausend dom
nerwetter. Even though these latter
be regarded as an invocation OF Thor,
the god of thunder and summer heat,
we can not see any thing very dreadful
or iuratory in them. Anglicizcd they
become perfectly harmless, and indeed
would be welcomed in the room of
some of our own more opprobions
idioms. "Thunder,n or even "Thun-
der and lightning" we consider very
temperate exclamation; so, too,
thought the author of the tragic story
of the bagman's dog, which may be
consulted with advantage on this head.
Applying the Johnsonian maxim OF
"claret for boys, port for men and
brandy for heroes" we should cor
tainly be inclined to class either or
both of them with the claret, nay,
even with the yet mildcr variety OF
GIadstonian clarct, vintage happily
unknown to the learned doctor. To
our insular minds they convey abso-
lutoly no idea of impropriety, We
might go about Donnorwettering fora
month together and not feel one atom
the better for it, or the worse; while
our character for propriety and decent
speech would not be one whit dam
aged, whatever might be thought OF
our sanity. The German soul, how
ever, is conscious of distinct sense
of relief after II judicious indulgence
in the same pastime. Hence we are
confronted by the strange paradox
that what is u round oath in one coun-
try is not even u smart ejaculation In
tho next. z-Macmillan's Magazine.

SURE DEATH.
investigating tho Kemmler E,oo.
trical Execution Case.
Au'soh iestiiies That Electricity Furnishes
a'ertain and Painle" Method of
Executing Criminals,

NEW YORK, July 24.-In the bcarin,
pclore the Referee of the Kemmler cleo
.rlcal execution case yesterday Thomas
A. Eolson was put on the stand as Wit
ness and If his testimony were to de-
cue the tate of Kemmler the murdorar
would surely meet his death in tho cleo
trlcal chair. The witness had no doubt
whatever OF the power of an alternating
current to kill man instantaneouslv
ana painlcssly, and was sure Il
could be done without burning. Tho
case OF Mr. Smith was spoken of, who
was said to have received A shocl, of
l,5oO volts without serious injury, Mr.
Edison said he would pay Mr.. Smith
>loo II he would come over to his labor
atory and successfully withstand a
SHOCK OF 1000 volts. On cross-examina-
ton the witness said the resistance of
all men was very close, between GOO and
l,sOo ohms. The obtaining of the resist
ance OF the human body by the Wheat
stone bridge was not simply matter of
late experiment, Witness measured hu-
man resistance by it before the question
OF electrical execution was brought up.
lie considered the bridge an accurate
means of measurement A man could
be completely carbonized by an electric
current, but it would take l,5OO horse
power to do it. If you took tho West
inghouse current of 1860 volts and
kept it applied to a human body five or
six minutes it would not be carbonizcd,
but mummilied. This was because the
water in the system would be gradually
absorbed. A. f. Kennedy, one of Mr.
Edison's electricians, next testified He
believed 1000 volts was enough to cause
death in all cases, The hearing will
probably be concluded to-day.

How a Snake Dimes on Frog.

A naturalist in Dakota was inter
ested recently in Il snakes feast on a
frog He tells about it in the Natural
Science Monthly. Frogs may be sue
culent to snakes, but their doglutition
is very much like hard work 1t is
difficult to tell whore the fun comes
in. The greatest trouble is to swal-
low the frog after catching him. He
is swallowed heels first. 1t is prob
lematic whether this is done by pref
crence or to wedge the victim down.
When caught the frog cries ont pitt
fully. This seems to delight his
snalscship. The frog soon finds it is
useless to struggle to release the ono
leg swallowed and tries to keep tho
other out of the trap. But the snake
gives n gurglc and n leap and catches
the other leg. Then poor froggy's
eyes dilate and assume CLASSY stare;
the body is stupcfed, The snake does
not swallow; it simply crawls over its
prey by contracting the muscles in its
throat. When the frog gets fairly in
the snakes belly the latter seems to
have a terrible case OF indigestion. 1t
rolls over and over and looks as II it
would give hundred dollars to get
out of the scrapo. Then 1t becomes
stupeiied and doubtless resolves never
to make a fool of itself again, but when
hungry it goes for frogs just as
eagerly as before.

CLOUD BURSTS.
Tho Little KanawhA Valleys Terrible
visit-An Entire village Wiped Out,
Many of Its Inhabitants Going Down in
the Flood.

PARKERsBuRq, w. VA, July 2O.-A
terrific clodd-burst, accompanied by
lightning and thunder, struck the Little
kanawha Valley last night about seven
o'clock, doing greater damage in a short
time than any previous storm in many
years. The Little Kanawha rose five
feet in less than three hours and swept
every thing before it. The rainfall was
terrible here, but is reported as much
worse on Tygart and at other points.
The worst of the storm struck the
lower side of the Kanawha, filling small
tributaries from bank to bank, and end
ing with the worst flood within the rec.
objection of the oldest inhabitants. In
three hours the Kanawha raised six
feet and ran out with such velocity that
It carried every thing before it. At this
point thousands of logs and number
OF boats went out or wero sunk. Lit
tie Kanawha Company lost 1000 logs
West Mill, ten RATS Barringer, several
fleets; W. p. Paddcn, five bargcs with
ties, several of which were caught be
low; Kceyer & Co. lost four bargcs
of coal; Miller, thrco RATS and
1000 ties; Taylor, one feet of timber
Charles Wells, four barges. In one
hour s. 600 logs went out. Mrs. Isaac II.
Tucker, Martin Lawless and an un-
known man were drowned. Above the
destruction was still greater. Big Ty
gart Valley is completely ruined. The
big mill near its mouth went out and
took the Tygart bridge with it, In the
valley all the fences, crops and much
live stock were lost. At Chcstcryille,
small town about ten miles above,
half the residences were carried off bod
lily and left in corn fields. In Clay District
fine church and three dwellings were
wrecked. About noon information was
received that the steamer Oneida had
been wrecked and sunk at Enterprise
above. Still later report came that
the steamer G.. c. Martin was sunk at
Burning Springs. The Little Tygart is
also reported completely ruined. Heath
eringtons store, Captain Spencers resi-
dence, c. p. Coopers residence and that
of j. w. Smith are completely demol-
ished, but nOliyes are reported lost as yet.
The worststory of all comes from Norris
town a small village near the head of
Tucker Creek, where the cloud-burst
concentrated in all its fury, coming
down in the village about midnight and
totally destroying it together with
many of its people. The first report
gave the lost at eleven, but later news
seems to fix tho loss at II greater num-
Der. The houses Of the citizens are
said to have been picked up and hvrlcl

FIRE ON THE LAKE
Eleven Passengers on a Hastily Con-
structed Raft



SOUTH HAVEN, Mich, July 2s.-The
steam barge j. F. Farnam, Captain L.
e. Vosburg, owned by L. P. & j. A.
Smith, of Cleveland, from St Joseph to
Escanaba Light, caught fire aft about
three o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
flames spread so rapidly that all efforts
to get out the boats were unavailing.
The mate was seriously burned about
the hands and arms in the effort. Rats
were hurriedly improvised from the
matches and few planks that Fortunate
ly were on board, upon which the crew
OF eleven men and captains wife placed
themselves as best they could.
Fortunately the lake was unusually
calm at that hour, to which fact TIL
crew largely owe their lives. The beach
patrolman of the life-saving station DIS
covered the smoke about o'clock.
lie thought at first it was onlya steamer
firing up as it was nearly twenty miles
away but soon he became satisfied that
the vessel was on fire. Then he hur-
ried to the station to give the alarm.
Inc steamer Glenn, of the William
Transportation Line, happened to be
in port and got up steam as
quickly as possible, and, taking
the life-saving crew and life-boat
and few volunteers, made all pos
sible haste to the work of rescue The
Glenn arrived alongside the burning
wreck about o'clock. Quite a sea was
running at this time, although there
was no wind, which swept completely
over the frail craft, thoroughly drench-
ing the occupants. All, however, were
safely got on board the Glenn, and ar
rived inside the harbor about 1915 safe
and sound, expressing the highest praise
of Captain Boync, of the Glenn, and the
life-saying station for their timely work.
