Strange Sounds in the Mighty Forests
of Lower Burmah.
l lately made two shooting trips to
the jungles of Lower Burmah, says an
English traveller, and each time In the.
midst of the greatest hardship. The,
forest scenery had the power to force
itself upon the notice as seeming each
day more and more impressive and
magnificent.
At such times both the silence and
the strange sounds of the jungIes,-
each in their different way, combine
to affect the sportsman; the occasional
weird hootings of the moneys in the
tree-tops; the distant flap, flap of an
elephants ears breaking in upon the
perfect stiffness as you approach the
herd, or perhaps, instead, the penny
trumpet-like squeak which announces.
its proximity, and, as the day wears
on, the stiffness is suddenly broken in.
upon by the whirring and soon almost
deafening sound with which with one
accord the insects revive after the
heat of the afternoon. All these inf1u--
ences combine to produce an affect.
which those who have not experienced
them will find difficult to imagine. and
those who have experienced them must
find hard to describe.

WHERE DO THEY COME FRoM2
Sudden Appearance Of Vulnerable
Tall Women In Public Places.

Sudden Appearance Of Vulnerable
Tall Women In Public Places.
The number OF tall women to be
seen on Broadway is remarkable.
Wheredo they all come from? It is
thefashion to be tall and straight and
slender and willowy, because it is
style we'll adapted to thebest display
OF the latest things in Partisan
millinery and dress goods. But have
women the power to suddenly grow
taller in order to meet a prevailing
fashion half way, as they might
blondine their hair? 1t certainly
looks like it. For there never was g
time when SO many tall women could
be seen. They run all the way from
5 feet 6 to 6 feet 2. You can meet 6
feet women in couples by the dozen
on Broadway any afternoon. By the
side of the ordinary run Of men these
women look feet 6.
There are two theories for the
sudden excess of tall women-one that
some mechanical process has been
discovered and is being secretly
practiced by which stout women are
drawn out into long aud slender fe-
males; the other, that these women
have always existed and are now
suddenly brought forth from their
reUirment by the memorable decree OF
fashion. The latter would seem to
be the more reasonable explanation.
When it was the fashion for women
to be embonpoint the tall and slender
woman hid herself away from public
gaze as much as possible. She shrunk
into her boots and walked stoop-
shouldered when she was to be seen in
public places. Now that she has her
inning she is making good use of it.
She is everywhere. She walketh erect
at noonday-also in the evening.
When she has a beau she chooses one
she can look down upon. 1t accent
yates her giraffe style. Her clinging
dropping, Bernhardt draperies still
further lead forward and upward.
1t is a comparatively easy thing for a
woman of five feet six to add four
inches to her apparent height if she
be not fat. Fat! The very word
seems horrible to the. sex just now.
The fat woman suggests the 10 cent
museum. Let her await her turn and
grow fatter in anticipation Of her
coming triumph-New York Letter.

A Geologlst Explains All About 1t for
Curious People.
Did you ever see the diameter of a
lightning flash measured?" asked
geologist. WELL here is the case
which once enclosed flash of light
ming, fitting it exactly, SO that you can
see just how big it was. This is call
ed fulgurite, or lightning hole )
and the material it is made OF is glass.
| will tell you how it was manufacture
ed, though it took only fraction of
second to turn it out.
"When bolt of lightning strikes
bed OF sand it plunges downward into
the sand for a distance less or greater,
Transforming simultaneously into glass
the silica in the material through
which it passes. Thus, by It's great
heat, it forms a glass tube of precisely
its own size. Now and then such a
tube, known as a fulgurite, is found
and dug up. Fulgurites have been
followed into the sand by excavation
for nearly thirty feet. They vary in
interior diameter from the size of a
quill to three inches or more, accord
ing TO the bore Of the flash.
"But fulgurites are not alone pro-
duced in sand; they are found also in
solid rock. though very naturally of
slight depth and frequently exising
merely as thin CLASSY coating on the
surface. Such fulgurities occur in
astonishing abundance on the summit
of Little Ararat in Armenia. The rock
is soft and so porous that blocks a foot
long can be obtained, perforated in all
directions by little tubes filled with
bottle-green glass formed from the
fused rock. There is a small specimen
in the national museum which has the
appearance of having been bored by
the toredo, the holes made by the
worm subsequently filed with glass.
''Some wonderful fulgurites were
found by Humboldt on the high
Nevada de Toluca in Mexico. Masses
of the rock were covered with a thin
layer of green glass. Its peculiar
simmer in the sun led Humboldt to
ascend the precipitous peak at the risk
of his ife.''

VfrtuOus by Fits and Starts.

We go along and wink with both
eyes at the wrong-doings and short
comings of A and also of B, and exc of
c, and all the rest of them; but by the
time we get to O or P we pull up and
cry aloud that this thing has gone too
far, and we must make a stand; and
so.wc come down upon P, who is not a
whit more guilty than any one else,
his only crime consisting in the fact
that he CHANGED to be standing just in
the place where the lightning struck;
and we denounce P; we excoriate P; we
ostracize P. Having done that, our
virtue, wearied with the unwonted ex-
ercise, falls asleep, and all the other
letters go along doing exactly the same
thing, until finally by the time x is
reached, we wake up again and go
through the same process. If one

he has to do is to select his time, and

of public virtue. -Exchange.

IT WAS GOOD ADVICE.
what William L. Yancey Learned In.
Europe and Told His People.


Among the agents sent out to Europe
at the beginning of the war was William
l.. Yancey of Alabama, who had sought
and fairly won the reputation of being
the champion fire-eater of the country,
and who contributed the only piece of
Dro-slavery rhetoric that seems likely
TO survive the rebellion, in proclaiming
at It's beginning the necessity of firing
the Southern heart" The object of
his mission, in conjunction with Dud-.
ley Mann, was to take advantage of
the reverse sustained by the union.

recognition of the confederacy by Eng
land and France. He returned in a
few months, running the blockade at
Sabine Pass. When he arrived i'm

He went to the St. Charles hotel and
Immediately sent for William E. Stark
and Pierre Soule. The latter from,
being noisy Unionist had been per-
suaded to fly the colors. of the con-
federacy. To escape observation and
interruption, Yancey, Hildreth, Stark
and Soule then went out to a restaur-
ant to dine. While absent it leaked
out in some way that Yancey had re-.
turned and was at the St. Charles so
that when the party returned they
found the large domed reception hall
thronged with people, who no sooner
recognized Yancey than they called
upon him to address them. He re-
luctantly mounted the structure which
occupies the center of the hall under
the dome, appearing to be the very
embodiment of disappointment and
despair"
He said in substance that he did not
bring them glad tidings from over the
sea; that Queen Victoria was against
them and that Prince Albert was
against them. ''Gladstone we can
manage he said, 'sbut the feeling
against slavery in England is so strong
that no public man there dares extend
hand to help us. We have got to
fight the Washington governments
alone. There is no government In
Europe that dares help us in strug-
gle which can be suspected of having
for its result directly or Indirectly,
the fortifcation or perpetuation Of
slavery. OF that I am certain"
In day Or two Yancey left for
Richmond. where he presumed to
make substantially the same report to-
the confederate authorities. He died
in about ten days after his arrival.
His information which deserved to be-
needed would have led to negotiations
which would have promptly led to a
termination of the war, had about as
much effect upon the lunatics at Rich
mond as reading the riot act or the ten
commandments would have had upon

Boxing For Boys.

There is absolutely nothing in the
way of recreation so beneficial in every
respect to q boy as boxing. I am
positive I know whereof I write,
for as a boy and man I have tried
them all, fencing, wrestling, rowing,
swimming, riding-that no one of
them has the many advantages of
boxing. AS an all-round developer it
is unequalled; not one of the boys
muscles remains inactive; back stom-
ach, legs, arms, all are called upon for
vigorous service. But what consid-
or its best feature i'm it's recomenda-
ton for boys is the very thorough
drilling which the disposition of the
boy must undergo. Ii a lad is quick
to lose his temper, boxing will cure
him; it will teach him that no one
who let's his temper get the best Of
hlm Will become am expert sparrer;
1T Will speedily convince him OF the
absolute necessity of keeping cool
and in entire possession of his wits in
order to sustain his efforts and avoid
defeat. The boxer who can not con-
troll his temper is practically at the
mercy of a cool skillful opponent.
One can mot spar successfully and be-
come clustered. A boxer must ever
'be on the alert, his wits constantly
alive, looking for an opportunity of
assaults; he unjust be able to act in
stantly, and with cool elaboration,
'as distinguished from wild, undirected

After a good deal of laughter the
provost marshal, was ordered to re-
ceive their capitulation, which was
conducted in due form. Tewsbury, an
old Virgnian, ordered his squad-a
couple OF Georgians-to give up their
guns and sign the papers, reserving
himself as the man OF all the Confed-
crate forces to surrender.
The old sergeant's description of
the way he found out the war was
over was amusing. He and his com
panions had been posted on the edge
OF the swamp to watch movements of
the union troops from Norfolk, with
orders to remain until relieved and
subsisted on game and fish for three
years. At last he met an old negro

An Intelligent Dog.

The keeper of the Bear Island light
IS the owner of an intelligent dog.
When a steamer passes the light it
whistles its salute, and in response the
lightkeeper rings his bell, or rather
did ring before the dog took the job
out of his hands. Seeing that the
passing of boat and the ringing of
the bell were two things that went to-
gether, the dog took it into his own
hands-or mouth-to ring the bell,
and when a boat comes along, without
waiting for her whistle, he seizes the.
bell rope with his teeth and rings a
vigorous salute.
