A Spanish Submarine BOat.

Spain would appear to treat her in
ventors better than most nations. A
naval Lieutenant, Isaac Peral, has con-
structed submarine boat moved by
electricity, which, according to the
Spanish press, is the greatest invention
of the age, an opinion apparently
shared by the Government, as Monday
nights council, on the proposal of the
minister of marine, conferred title Of
nobility upon Lieutenant Peral and
presented him with 100000 (e20, 000)
for services to his country and as q tes-
timony of his countrymen's gratitude.
1t is not stated whether this sum repre-
sents the monetary value of the patent
But without wishing for a moment to
detract from the merit of Lieutenant
Peral, whose boat may be the most per-
feet of its kind, it may be pointed out
that similar vessels have existed for
many years past in other countries, q
fact which the Spanish newspapers
seem to forget, or at least to ignore,
while heaping almost fulsome eulogy on
Lieutenant Peral as the inventor Of in
yentors. Times.

Most of them are mere novels and
+. miles live here in quarters in which
an American farmer would not trust
his best Jersey cow. During my
stay in Asyoot I tried to learn
all could about the life Of the
people, and found that several fam
lilies often lived in one OF these little
mud huts, and that most Of them slept
on the ground, with only blanket or q
cotton rag as covering. The poor Egyp-
tian, like the poor Indian. sleeps in tho
same clothes that he uses during the
daytime. and in these huts chickens,
donkeys and cattle are kept in the same
room with the family. Even these by
no means make up the inhabitants of
the house. The lice and fleas of the
handkerchief Pharoah still stick to the
land, and bed-bugs are everywhere.
You can have no idea of the lice OF
Egypt and the graybacks Of army days
are mild in comparison. The chief
business of Egyptian leisure seems to
be in picking over clothes for body lice,

of the possibilities, and several times in

An English Writer Calls It tho Graveyard

The Gulf Stream, after. sweeping be-
tween the coast Of Florida and the Isl
ands OF Cuba and the Bahamas, runs
northward along the American coast
until 1t reaches the shoals of Nan.
tncket, when 1t swerves of to the north
cast and, passing to the south of Sable
island, stretches across the Atlantic
eastward to Europe. The cold, ice.
laden current of the North passes out
OF the Arctic ocean. along the east coast
OF Greenland, and there, joining with
another current from Baffin's bay,
sweeps along by the coasts OF Labra-
dor to the banks of Newfound.
land. There it meets the north edge
OF the Gulf Stream and splits in two.
One part, from. Its greater density, sinks
below the warm current OF the Gull
Stream and continues its southwark
course as submarine current The
other portion, after striking the Cult
Stream, turns of to the west and sweeps
along the coast and bays of the north.

which mariners dread, and which In the
neighborhood of Sable island runs at
such rate as to carry them out OF their
reckoning before they are aware Of it.
Then there is third current which,
detaching from the polar stream at the
south end Of Labrador, rushes through
the Straits of Belle Isle, joins
the outflow of the St. Law
renee, and becomes the Gulf OF st.
Lawrence current This third current
skirts the east side of Cape Breton, and,
passing south, strikes the westward

A curious illustration was found BY
one of the superintendent, who one
year had his provisions devoured by the
rats and had seen large masses of the
island washed away. He became
alarmed for the safety OF his company
before the arrival of the relief ship in
the spring. and thought to dispatch a
message to the mainland for help. A
small boat was put together, and. letters
being put on board, the sail was
hoisted, and she was dispa tched before
a southeast gale in the hope that she
would other be picked up by some in.
bound vessel or be blown onto the main
land. Thirteen days later the boat
aoated right onto the beach six miles
from the place from which she had been
dispatched!
In calm weather an empty barrel will
circle around the island again and

THE BUFFALO'S FATE.

How the Great American Ruminant Was
Wantonly Exterminated.
In 1868 the Union Pacific railroad and
its branch in Kansas was completed
across the plains to the foothills of the
Rocky onntains-the western limit of
the buffalo range-and that year wit
messed the Inauguration of the whole
sale and wanton slaughter of the great
ruminants, ending only with their
practical extinction in 1855, by regular
hunters for their hides. and by the
crowds of tourists who crossed the con-
tinenr for mere pleasure and sport,
then made possible by the advent of
the 'iron-tail": these latter heartlessly
killed for the excitement Of the novel
experience, often never even touching
particle of the flesh, or possessing
themselves of single robe as
they rode along at slow rate of
speed. The former, numbering thou
sands Of old frontiersmen, all expert
Shots and as many novioes-the pioneer
settlers on the public domain" just
opened under the various land laws
from beyond the Platte to far south Of
the Arkansas, within transporting dis
lance of the two roads, day after day
for years made it a lucrative business to
kill for robes only, market for which
had suddenly sprung up all over the
country.
On either side of the lines of the rail-
road, within close range for nearly their
whole distance, the most CONSPICUOUS
objects in those days were the desic-
Gated carcasses of the noble beasts that
had been ruthlessly slaughtered by the
thoughtless and excited passenger en-
route across the continent On the open
prairie, too, miles away from the course
of legitimate travel, one could walk
in places all day on the dead
bodies of the buffaloes, killed by
the hide-hunters. without stepping
on the ground! Then was the oppor-
tunity for Congress to interpose. Re-
stricting the transportation of robes by
the railroads and express companies
could have saved the buffalo from ex-
tinction. believe there was some alb.
surd law enacted in relation to prevent
ing the terrible slaughter, but it made
it only misdemeanor on the part of
the hunter to kill about as effective q
provision, so far as the average plains
man was concerned, as to attempt to de-
fleet tornado with palm-leaf fan.
The price OF robes ranged all the way
from fifty cents-the amount paid pri-
marily-to two dollars and half as
