Gaics--The British Coast strewn With
Wreckage--vessels Lost.
LONDON, Oct. 15.-Despite the an
nouncement yesterday that the gale
which had been raging over England,
Wales, the south Of Scotland and Ire
land Tor the past two days was abating,
this morning shows the fnry of the
tempest has not yet exhausted itself,
with the rising of the sun to-day the
storm resumed its awful violence.
London, as this dispatch is being sent,
is being deluged with rain, swept with
fearful wind blasts, shaken by thunder
and startled by flashes of the most vivid
lightning. Reports teceived from the
channel ports agree in saying that fear
full weather is prevailing in the channel
The Boulogne packet boats are unable
to put to sea, and even If they succeeded
in getting outside the harbor it is be-
lieved they could not weather the gale.
All along the coast the beach is strewn
with wreckage, and at Dover especially
large quantity Of material, evidently
belonging to one or more wrecked ships
has been washed ashore.
From Holyhead comes telegram
saying that the body of n steamship fire.
man has been washed ashore at that
place, and that it is believed the drowned
man belonged to a steamer which has
foundered during the gale. A cardiff
coal laden steamer sank yesterday neal
Holyhead and the entire crew persisted
1t is thought the dead fireman may have
been one of her crew.
The weather in the Irish seas is the
most severe experienced in many years
In the midland counties especially ha.
great damage been done to the stacked
crops.
During the morning an immense
scafiolding, erected about building neal
Hyde Park gate, collapsed under the
pressure Of the hurricane, burying in
its ruins number of persons who had
sought shelter beneath it. One person
was fatally injured by this disaster and
many ladies received severe cuts, bruise.
and other injuries.
The storm at Leicester has wrecked
and much depleted a large manageriC

SHORTEN SHY 4ND SPENCER.


Shorten Shy plays round my knee
While read Herbert Spencer.
But still the more read and read
My ignorance grows denser;
For Shorten Shy describes my taste
And tells me every minute,
Say, papa, don't like that book.
There amt no lions in it,"
Now Herbert Spencer is a great,
A world-compelling thinner;
No heavy plummct line of truth,
Goes deeper than his sinker.
But one man reads his works way through
For thousands that begin it,
They leave one-half the leaves uncut
"Ihere amt no lions in it."
The age.old errors in their den
Does Herbert Spencer throttle,
And ranks with Newton, Bacon, Kant,
And ancient Aristotle.
The mighty homage of the few
These towering giants win it,,
The millions shun thier hunting ground
There amt no lions in il"
/ leave this mctaphysic swamp,
Thick grown with sturdy scions,
And roam the meadows OF romance,
With Shorten and his lions.
He brings his gaudy Noah's Ark book
And begs me to begin it;
Better than Hubbut Spencer book.
That amt no lions In it,
"Now wead about the efalunt
So big he scares the people;
An wead about the kangerwoo
Who jumps up on the steeple."
So take up the Noah's Ark book,
And sturdily begin it,
And read about the 'efalunt'
And lions that are in it,
Shorten will grow in soberness,
His life become intenser,
Some day hen drop his tefalnnts"
And take up Herbert Spencer.
But life can have no happier years
Than glad years that begin it,
And life some times grows dull and tame
That has no lions in it.

TOO MBANroI ANYTHING.
That's tho Girls View OF It--Tho Young
Mems Something Stronger.

A New York Sun special from Mid
dletown, CT, says; Wesleyan Univer-
sity has a lively sensation, and the
dozen young women students are freely
expressing their minds regarding new
order from the college authorities.
Wesleyan has many young men among
its students whom the young women
have found agreeable companions in
their hours OF leisure.
The young mon have been permitted
not only to escort the young women to
entertainments and social gatherings,
under the eye Of a chaperon, but also to
call upon them at their dornitory,
which, in the slang Of the institution, Is
known as "the roost." President
Raymond recently conceived tho idea
that the calls of the young men should
be systematized and brought under the
college regulations. The matter was
talked over by the faculty, and it was
concluded that some plan should be
adopted whereby the president might
know which of the young men were
frequenting "the roost," and which of
the young women were the special
attractions to them.
The outcome of the discussion was
that a general restriction was placed
upon calls. The new edict requires the
filling out OF card in this form:

Tho members of tho faculty hold that
the use OF these cards will operate
advantageously in several ways. They
can ascertain whether certain students
are calling too frequently, and whether
1t Is advisable, on account of the per-
sonal character of any of them, to shut
oil the privilege, and they can also avert
the Inconvenience of Young woman's
having too many callers in an evening.
young man can hereafter obtain
only one card week, on which is
designated the evening he may call.
Each young woman may receive not
exceeding three evenings in a week, and
the faculty, it is understood, will favor
a different caller for each evening rather
than permit fair students "best young
man" to monopolize her three evenings.
Neither the young mon nor the young
women have objected to the chaperon
system, but they are agreed in protest
ing against President Raymond's new
rule as an uncalled-for interference with
their individual rights and privileges.

SEA-GOlNG SALMON.

Their Manner of Obtaining Food Still I'm
known.
Several points in the life history of
the salmon itself are still wrapped in
obscurity, and, considering the amount
of interest taken in the king of fishes,
the ignorance in its seafaring habits is
surprising. The recent experiments I'm
dertaken by Mr.. Archer in the Nor
wegian fiords and duly chronicled in the
columns of the Field, with numbers of
marked fish, have proved that the same
individuals, while roaming as much as
ninety miles from the coast, often re-
turn to the same haunts in the rivers.
Each salmon employed in the conduct
of the experiments has been marked by
a numbered and dated metal plate Sc
cured through the dorsal fin, the rec
ords of the returning fish being care
fully noted and tabulated by Mr.,
Archer But the general food supply
at sea remains matter of speculative
inquiry.
In the rivers salmon have been proved
to devour ephemeride and water beetles,
but the sea-going fish invariably are
taken with the stomach empty. know
of two exceptions to the rule. AT the

netted off one of the Scotch lochs gen
tleman witnessed one eject some half
digested cells from the mouth. In the
Field for July &c, 1890. writer records
in the angling column that he has lately
seen salmon captured containing young
salmon in the stomach. If the salmon
lived chiefly on suction the teeth would
surely show signs Of degeneration, which
is by no means the case. l have seen a
fisherman on the Severn have his finger
lacerated through pushing his hand too
far through the gills of still living fish,
and the quantity of short rounded teeth
present every appearance of usefulness
The extraordinary increase in bulk
during a few weeks visit to the sea
clearly points to an abundant food sup
ply, which must be something plenti-
fully distributed among the ittoral
fauna. The migrations of the salmon
and river cells are curiously intermixed;
1t is quite possible that the young cells
constitute favorite article of diet. The
fact that the stomach of salmon is
almost always empty when capt
ured has been explained as the result of
fear. At the moment the fish feel the
meshes of the net all food is said to be
elected. Fishing off the coast of Devon
this summer, saw large salmon leap
through the water as if in pursuit of
prey, just as pike dashes after smaller
Ash; it was gone like flash, and we
could see no more. Some day, doubt
less, the full facts will be discovered
