Naval Prize Money.

Some interesting particulars in refer
ence to the apportionment of naval prize
money and bounties are contained in a
return which has recently been printed
by order Of the house of commons. From
this it appears that during the financial
year 18s9-90 the sum of 1923 was paid
over by the accountant general out of a
total of e63, 1856, which has accrued dur
ing the last thirty-eight years, including
shares allotted to the Naval Brigade for
services rendered during the Indian
mutiny and booty gained during the
Chinese war Of the same decade.
OF the balance, EAT 800 has been paid
over to the consolidated fund since 1866
in accordance with the act of parlia-
ment, and 81 ,543 remains in hand should
claimants arise. A curious feature of
the return is the fact that out of G20, ,156.
the proceeds of captured slave dhows
during comparatively recent years, only
eS, ,185 appears to have been claimed.
The government percentage account
shows total of G13, ,161, and out of a
balance in hand on April /, 1889, of e3, ,994
only los. 4d.. seems to have been paid
during the year on account of clainas
arising prior to 1865. The total sum
transferred to the consolidated fund
since 1855 is eS3, 500, in addition to G173,-
600 referred to in the annual account for
the year. -Galignani Messenger.

Don't Touch the Wires.

It is always best to avoid danger, if
possible; therefore, there is one rule
which ought to be taught in every
school in the United States-and that
is. never lift a wire off the ground
This rule may prove more valuable
than the rule of three.
A telegraph wire, no matter how
many messages may be passing over it,
is perfectly harmless, but an electric
wire is always deadly. When you see
a wire hanging from a pole or a house,
or in any position, it may be a tele-
graph wire or it may be an electric wire,
so the safest plan is to let it lie. 1t may
not be dangerous, but it is like loaded
gun-it may kill you.
If an electric wire lies across your
path and it becomes absolutely neces-
sary to remove it, bear these things in
mind: So long as the wire is on the
ground it is perfectly harmless, no mat
ter what pressure may be on it. The
moment it leaves the ground it is dan
gerous. You can pull the slack
with your hand or foot any distance, so
long as the end touches the ground,
but do not lift it. The instant you do you
become part of the electric circuit, and
the current will run to the ground
through your body.
Never mind what your comrades
may say about your cowardice or tim
idity-don't touch the wires.

Worthless yvatermeIons.

During the season the watermelon
business was the best it has ever been.
Prices were high and sales large, for
melons have been better than usual this
year. So good was the business that the
river men who were engaged in bringing
the melons went back to the York river
region, down the bay, and brought large
loads up there, expecting to realize
handsomely. Then the "cold snap" set
in, and the melon operators were all
dumped. At one wharf on the river
front there were 10000 melons going
begging at 81 to So a hundred, while
earlier in the season the same quality of
melons sold easily for two or three times
these prices. What chance the Wash
ington boarding house keepers had to
'put up" watermelon rind preserves

Two Miles = Minute without steam.
Arunaway railroad train on the branch
Of the coast division from Aptos up TO
the Iona Prieta lumber mills created .
sensation along the line Of the road Sept
Is. Eight empty cars broke loose from
the engine at Monte Vista, about eight
miles north Of Aptos. The road from
Monte Vista TO Aptos is a heavy down
grade the entire distance, and the cars,
soon after starting. attained tremen-
dous rate of speed. and passed through
Iona Prieta at n mile minute.
The flying cars kept on the track until
they had gone the entire eight miles to
Aptos Here four Of the cars turned
on to the main track without damage,
two running as far as the high bridge at
the west end Of Aptos, and the other two
stopping near the station. The other
four cars dashed of the track and were
smashed into bits.
How the cars kept on the track for
eight miles at such speed over curv-
ing mountain road is wonderful No
one was on the train at the time IL
started, and no one was injured, the
only loss being the four wrecked cars.
Railroad men claim the train made the
eight miles in four minutes.
The down passenger train from Santa
Cruz, bound for San Francisco, had a
hairbreadth escape from destruction.
The passenger train had passed the place
where the runaway came onto the main
line but minute and half previously.
One of the wrecked cars struck cypress
tree forty feet high and foot and a half
in diameter and laid it fiat, almost tear
ing it from the ground. San Fran

borne about forty ripe figs this year, and
now has several nearly ripe upon it, with
about 100 green. The fig does not ripen
the same year in which it forms, and the
fig tree does not blossom, but the fig is
formed and grows from the under side
Of a leaf to about the size of large
