Private James X. Bolton, an inmate of
the Confederate Soldiers Home, near Rich
mond, tells startling story of the finding
in the hold OF the old Confederate ram
Merrmac the skeletons OF two men. Boil
ton was member of Johnson Battery dur
ing the war, and was wounded at Brandy
Station. He is now almost In dying con
dition He declares that the discovery OF
these skeletons has preyed upon his mind
for years, According to Bottoms story he
was engaged as wrecker In 1873. The
person with whom he was engaged at that
time was employed in getting the old cop
per of the Merrimac, While engaged in
this work Bolton says that ON one occasion
he dived into the forecastle of the Confed-
crate gunboat. There he found the skel-
etons of two men manacled TO the floor
He supposes that they We're members of the

A Human Fly.

One of the prominent figures in West
erly, R. l., is "Steeple Jack" by which
name William Wallace, the chimney re-
pairer, is known. "Steeple Jacks "
method of working on chimney is novel
and interesting and he always has large
audiences. He is never out Of work. He
sets up his own peculiar device for a
staging, which is feature of his profess
sion and which enables him to complete
a job in about the time that it takes to
erect an ordinary staging. "Steeple Jack"
first places a long, light ladder against
the chimney that is to be operated on.
TEen, mounting it, he drives peculiarly
shaped iron pin into the brick work and
binds the top of the ladder fast to this
pin. Standing on the top round of this
ladder, he drives another pin into the
chimney as high above his head as he
can reach. A rope is then passed over
this pin and made fast to round in a
second ladder about three feet from fits
bottom round. This ladder is then hoisted
up until it rests on the top of the first
ladder. 1t is then made fast to the lower
pin, and then 'sSteeple Jack" mounts to
the top of it and, driving in another pin,
secures the top round to that. From this
ladder third is hoisted, as before. and
Jack and the ladders, as many Of them
as be necessary, continue to rise as far as
may be desired. It is estimated that he
has clambered about fifteen miles up into
the air in this way. Philadelphia Times

Highest Mountain.

The highest mountain on the globe is
not. as is generally supposed. Mount Ev-
crest, that honor belonging to a lofty
peak on the Isle Of Papua, or New
Guinea. This monster, which lifts its
snow capped summit far into the clouds,
was discovered by Capt. A. .. Lawson,
of London, in 1881. According to Law
son this new claimant for the champion
ship is 32,7G3 feet in height. being 1871
feet higher than Mount Everest, which
is only 10000 feet above the level Of the
Indian ocean. This New Guinea giant
has been named Mount Hercules.
Of oceans the Pacific is the largest,
being 900 miles long and 5000 miles
wide. 1t also claims the honor of being
the deepest. The deepest place yet meas
ured was near the Leadrone Islands.
where a depth of 4,475 fathoms was
found. This great depth may be better
understood when we consider that 4.475
fathoms is 26, $50 feet, or something over
five miles.-St. Louis Republic.

Grass That Is Not Green.

1t may be noted that the one defect of
the Riviera is, that it is not green. 4
few of our forest trees would make the
landscape perhaps too perfect. The
olives which clothe the hills are gray.
The grass is scanty and ill grown. When
a millionaire would indulge in the lux
ury Of O lawn he has to resow it every
year; from which the reader accustomed
to immemorial turf, which has lived
through as, many generations as would
suffice to confirm the nobility of fam
fly, will understand what grass is in
these regions. But our Frenchman was
none the less sure. ''Sir," said an Ameri-
can, afterwards, t'there is no grass in the
world like English grass, except at New
port; there is beautiful grass at New
port" And we bethought us, to soothe
our feelings, of Mr.. John Burroughs, the
American naturalist, who declares that
if we would but refrain from washing
for little while, such is the soft and
dewy character of our climate, green
ness would grow all over us-a tilrfy de-
posit upon our hands, a G =ntle veil Of
moses upon our uncovered hrows. Such
are the differing opinions of other ma
tions. Glackwood's Magazine

l'Ienty of Coal.

In reply to the assertion that the world
in the future may be dependent upon
America for it's supplypf coal, a foreign
exchange cites the numerous undrained
coal fields of the Netherlands, Switzer-
land, Sweden. Denmark, Germany, Bo-
hemia, Servia and Hanover. which are
estimated at $4,000 square miles. and
Russia with $4,000 square miles. The
island of Formosa can show 10000 square
miles Near Peking coal veins of ninety
five feet thickness are to be found
Large coal fields are also found in Aus
tria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece,
Turkey and Persia, with $4,000 square
miles, to which midas 81, 900 and China,
with about 400, 900 square miles, are still
to be added. Japan can furnish 5000
square miles. There still remain the
Falkland Islands, Patagonia and Peru,
which contain rich coal deposits. The
largest portion of southern Chill is an
immense coal bed. Brazil contains coal
beds of seventeen to twenty-five feet
thickness. In the United States of Co
lombia soft chalky coal of good quail
ity is found. Mexico, Vancouver's ISL
and and New South Wales all have coal:
the latter country has $4,000 square
miles. In addition thereto, Queensland,
Victoria and West Australia add upward
of $4,000 square miles of coal. New
Zealand furnishes 10000, besides Tas-
mania, New Caledonia, Natal, Alaska
and other partially developed portions
of the world, which should represent at
least 100, 900 square miles, in addition to
former figures. The coal fields are in
the main but partially explored, and
known only to the biologists. The coal
fields of North America excepting Alas
ka and Mexico) are as little considered
in the foregoing statement as are those
of Africa. -Oil City Derrick.

A Change Of Weapon.

Last winter climbed Lookout Noun
tain in company with veteran of the
late war. It was his first visit since the
day of the memorable assault, and as we
climbed he fought the battle over again
for my benefit. As the conflict waxed
hotter he grew excited, and on our arri-
val at the hotel near the summit was a.
fever heat. We then passed on through
the narrow defle which leads to the PIN
nacle, where we were confronted by
diminutive specimen of the genus
s''cracker" with these words: eff you gen.
tlemen wish to go to the top you must
pay twenty-five cents" This was too
much for the pentup feelings Of my war
like companion who, tragically waving
his strong right arm, shouted: 81 won't
pay it. Twenty-Five years ago I came up
here with a sword in my hand" But the
modern Leonidas, moving not otherwise
than to display deputy sheriff's badge,
quietly remarked: "Well. sab, you must
come up with a quarter today" The
money waspaid. &C. G. Teale in Harper's
Magazine.

Thirty-one Business Blocks Destroyed

Been Subdued.
Inadequate Water Supply Leaves the
City at the Mercy Of the Flames
The Loss VIII Be Millions.

SEATTLE, w. T., June What was
the business part of this city is now
nothing but smouldering ruins. Fire
broke out at the southwest corner Of
Front and Madison streets about p. m.
and in short time it was beyond the
control of the fire department.. Before
the fire was extinguished every news
paper, hotel, telegraph Office, railroad
depot and wharf, the entire water front,
including all wharves and docks, coal
bunkers and railroad tracks, the whole
quarter, and everything south Of Union
street, an area of sixty-four acres. The
property loss is estimated between ST.
OO0, 1000 and $4,000, 900. The personal
losses will make the aggregate nearly
twice that sum.
