The meteor carried a tail Of some three

fell balls Of fire. 1t Was wonderful
sight and but for the fog would have
shone with great brilliancy, but the eiouo-
mess of the atmosphere screened 1t to
some extent and let few people witness
the travels of the body.
The meteor finally eNtinguished ltseiI'

Steadily tn the Capital.
CURAcoA, w. l., Aug. News has been
received here from an apparently trust
worthy source in Venezuela that Crespo
is now in charge Of the executive of that
country.
As the story goes, the revolutionary
leader kept up a steady advance toward
the capital. The government troops con-
cluded that they were unable TO stand an
attack, and so evacuated the capital city,
leaving the victorious leader OF the leg
alists' In full possession.
The situation in Caracas Is reported as
strained to the utmost limit by the
condition OF the struggle for the Presi-
dency.
DIR. Rojus Paul was received most en-
Enthusiastically on his arrival at Caracas on
July 10, on account of his prominent con-
nection with the revolutionary move
ment.
There are six candidates for the Presi-
dency and the most extreme bitterness
prevails. DIR. Paul seems to be in the
lead, but the government reactionists un-
der the inspiration of Guzman Blanco are
gaining strength daily.
General Sarria threatens to proclaim a
new revolution in ease OF the election Of
Paul, and Crespo will unquestionably re-
commence hostilities at once in case of
the election of Sarria, which he would re-
gard as the re- establishment OF the Guz-
manistic sway.

A Grim Fate.

A native diver descended into the
water to see whether one OF the piers,
.hen In course Of construction, had set.
While he was engaged in this work, the
great iron cylinder subsidized little,
crushing his hand between 1t and the
masonry. When, on signal being given,
mother diver came down, he found his
unfortunate comrade imprisoned under
water without hope of escape.
After few moments Of mute despair
md narrowing uncertainty, a speeches
decision was arrived at and the new
'omer proceeded with chisel and hammer
70 hack of his unhappy companio g
1and at the wrist.
The prisoner was thus liberated, but
lied soon after reaching the surface from
.he shock. Never, think, has an opium
,ater in his dreams imagined a more pitt
'ul spectacle OF hopeless human suffering.

Alexander ana Diogenes.

Il was on June 16 that Alexander the
Great had his noted conversation with
Diogenes. They were both at a base ball
game that day, Alexander on the grand
stand and Diogenes on the bleachers.
"Hello, Gene" shouted the king, who
was always trying to get solid with liter
ary people.
Diogenes coolly watched the descent Of
foul tip before he replied.
How are you Sandy" he answered at
length, with scant courtesy.
Alexander was not easily to be discour-
aged, however, and, descending from the
grand stand, walked over to where Diog-
enes was sitting and took his stand right
In front of the philosopher.
"What can do for your" inquired the
conqueror, solicitously.
Diogenes deigned no direct reply.
Play ball" he yelled, evasively.
"Can't give you sewer contract or
something" persisted Alexander.
Diogenes was silent.
"Please let me do something for your"
pleaded the king.
"Well, them" he snarled, "get out OF
my light. That centre fielder is due for n
double play and don't want to lose it,"
The remark became historical.-De-

Singing sands are found in many parts
OF the United States, but squeaking sands
are not so common. There is only one
place in this country whore the squeak
ing sand is found, and that Is a small
plain in South Colorado. The singing
sand emits a musical sound only when
dry, and loses this property on being
dampened. The squeaking sand, on the
other hand, is silent when dry and
squeaks best and loudest when moistened.
The sound IL gives forth is by no means
loud, but somewhat resem bles the squeak

rubbed between the fingers or when
placed In small bag and violently struck,
