ROYALIsT INTRIGUEs IN FRANCE

The Comte de Paris speech. delivered at

Ibelieve 1t was put on to say what it did by an
intimate friend of the Comte de Paris. What
did it say? you may ask. That young and tur-
bulent and intriguing royalst were egging on
the Due dOleans to separate from his father
and set up as an independent pretender: that
they were trying to de-Christianize him, to
plunge him into dissipation and to get him to
break off his engagement with the Princess
Marguerite.
What LIE Monde said was perfectly true. The
nobiemen in question are very intriguing.

Due Dues and the Due de Luynes, are thor

TWENTY DEGREES OFF THE HORIZONTAL.
do not recall ever seeing the name by which it
is known in print, and, as the word is ignored
by Webster, shall invent my own spelling and
write it "sea-poose." This term is loosely used
on different parts of the coast, but the true
significance of it is briefly this: There will
sometimes come, at every bathing ground
days when the ocean seems to loose its head
and to act in very capricious Way. On such
occasions 1t often happens that the beach is
cut away at some one point. presumably where
the sand happens to be softer and less capable
of resisting the action of the water. There will
then be found a little bay indenting the shore,
perhaps ten feet, perhaps ten yards. The
waves rolling into such cove are detected
somewhat by its sides and set together at its
head, SO that two wings Of a breaker, SO to
speak, meet and. running straight out from the
point or Junction, form sort OF double ''un-
der-tow," which will, if the conditions that
cause 1t continue cut out along its course a
depression trench of varying depth and
length. 1t can be readily understood that such
a trench tends to strengthen the current that
causes it, and these two factors, acting and re-
acting upon each other, occasion what might
be called an artificial 'under-tow," which is
sometimes strong enough to carry unwary
bather some distance out in fashion that will
cause him either to be glad he is. or to wish he
were, within the rectangle Of the life lines.
THE RIGHT WAY TO BATTLE. D.,
We snail assume, In the first place. that you
are able to SWIM and further, that you are not
minded to follow the inglorious, yet really
dangerous example of those who wait for
calm interval, and then, rushing through the
line Of breakers. spend their time swimming
out beyond. Well then. take your place just
where the seas comb This point will vary
somewhat with the height of the waves, but
you will stand, for the most part, in
water about waist deep. Should par
ticular breaker look to be heavier than
the preceding. remember that it will strike
further out and that you must push forward to
meet it. Then, if You are where you should
be. it will comb directly above your head.
Wait until it reaches that point of its develop
ment for if you act too soon or too late your
chances OF being thrown are greatly increased,
and, with the white crest just curvlng over you,
dive under the green wall of water that rises
up in front. Dive just as you would from q
low shore. only not quite so much downward

Won Moltke's Valuable Find.

OF THE EVENING ST,p

Correspondence OF THE EvEsIss STAR.
According to the Vossische Zeitunq Cvoss's
Gazette) Of Berlin it becomes quite accident
ally known that Count Moltke once rendered a
very important service to oriental literature
while in the midst of the dangers and turmoil
OF war. During his career 40 an officer in the
Turkish army he participated in 1888 in storm
ing the fortified town of Dschesireh ion Omar
IN hurdstan, and in the course of it came upon
wide and high cavern or grotto about 20 or 80
teet high, whose equipments showed that il
had been used for religious purposes. 1t was
the place of worship of the HISTORIAN Chris
tlans of the vicinity. One of the Turkish SOL
diers belonging to Moltke's command got hold
OF large codex in the cave. which Moltke OBJ
tanned from him for the purpose of turning il
over to the Royal Library at Berlin. The man
uscrlpt proved to be one of considerable value
and is said by Prof. Petcrmann to be one of
the treasures of the Royal Library. 1t con-
tains the entire New Testament of the Nes-
torlans In HISTORIAN characters. and is valued
very highly. not only because HISTORIAN codces
are very rare in Europe, but even more SO be-
cause they are scarce even among the Mes
torlans. The manuscript according to the date

THE STEAM BOAT CAROLINE.
A Big Gunpowder Depot.

New Jersey Letter in Detroit Tribune
Our government is simply providently taking
advantage of favorable conditions to secure
and store such quantities (of inter, to be used
In making gunpowder) as will render us indie.

care to forestall Qike blockade of our ports).
Nine million pounds have already been pur-
chased at prices ranging from IL to cents per
pound, and each year hereafter other millions
Of pounds will be added to the tremendous
quantity already in hand.
In the latter OF the seventies the wisdom of
provision for some such great powder and
inter reserve became SO patent TO the authori-
ties at Washington that it was decided one
should be established at or near the Atlantic
seaboard. A site, 200 feet above the sea level
was at last selected in the elevated Picatinny
valley lying in the Appalachian mountain
chain in northeastern New Jersey. s~- One
cannot but at the same time reflect that any
foreign enemy could enter New York harbor,
practically unopposed, and by rapid use OF the
railway, or even by forced march, possess,
fortify and defend for his own use this gigan-
tic store against our own most desperate yalor;

ton with half dozen well-directed shells. ex-

the step, or the "under-tow" took it for him,
is not material but the bathing master and
one other saw the trouble, dashed in and,
reaching the drowning man, were able to keep
his head above water. but, what with this and
fighting the waves, they did not seem to mako
an inch shoreward. There were not many on
the beach at the time and only four or five
men who could be of any use. A chain of hands
was promptly formed, but it was not long
enough to bring the inside man into water
less than waist deep, and the "under-
tow" pouring into the big ditch, sucked
with all its might. So they swung
backward and forward, now gaining,
now losing ground, and meanwhile

Lausted. All SO far had instinctiveiy tried to
fight the waves, but 1t was evident that

AQ tbathing. First he makes mention of
/two menaces. Doubtless We have all
heard grea: deal about ''under-tow," he says,
as though 1t were some mysterious force work
ing from the recesses of treacherous ocean to
draw unwary bathers to their doom. As a mat
ter OF fact its presence is obviously natural and
the explanation of it more than simple. As
each wave rolls in and breaks upon the beach
the volume of water which it carries does not
remain there and sink into the sand it flows
back again, and as the succeeding wave breaks
over it the recedng one forms an under cur
rent flowing outward with strength proportion
ate to the body Of water contained in each
breaker, and, again, proportionate in great
measure to the depths OF the ditch. Where
this latter is an appreciabie depression it can be
readily seen that the water of receding waves
will flow into it with similar effect to that of
water going over a fall, and that a person
standing near is very likely to be drawn over
with it, and tn US, if the ditch is deep enough,
carried out OF his depth. This is all there is to
the much-talked-of .'under-tow' and the nu-
merous accidents laid to its account.
