81 never hear of any one being

amusing accident which happened to

navy yard.
II was working on the stern of a
vessel, aud was walking along with a
Ratchet in one hand and saw in the
other, when Lost my balance and
plunged into the river. didn't want
to lose my tools, so 1 struck out for
the shore, and never worked as hard
in my life as | did then, for I was
working for my life. 1 plunged and
sputtered and pushed until was near
the shore. when my breast struck
something, and as dropped my legs
they struck something which I soon
found to be nut.
'Some people stood on the shore
laughing at me, and when I found 1
had run ashore they wanted to know
if they should send for tug to pull
me off. When I made an investigation
/ found the water was not over four
feet deep in tho deepest part, and that
l could have waded ashore with the
greatest case. l was mad, of course,
but after l got on dry land could see
the ludicrous side of the affair, and 1
have a hearty chuclSle to myself every
time think Of it now, although it
happened good many years ago."

.,n.n,ssrx q, \ rear.

A tear from the eye of q representa-
tive Of the Caucasian races is found to
be composed of water, salt, soda, phos-
plate of lime, phosphate of soda and
mucus. From the eye of al African
the clements composing the tear are
found to be the same as the above.
with the single exception of the phos-
phate of soda and with the addition OF
slight trace of ammonia, The Eskimos
and the fishing Firms seldom she'd tears,
but when they do chemists say they are
exceedingly salty. The chemical ele-
ments in the Caucasian tear arrange
themselves into particles that look like
fish bones; those from a Negroes tear
form rude cross, while the same pro-
cess of evaporation leaves the chem
icals in an Eskimos tear in the shape
of a bow.

A Cow in q Bear Pit.

A comic scene took place few days
ago at Berne. A peasant from Oster-
mundingcn was driving COW into the
capital, and had arrived at the Muri-
stalden, when the animal bolted, and,
Jumping the rails round the well-known
bear pit, arrived at the bottom without
injury. The proprietor thought that his
COW was lost; but he was mistaken.
She attacked the bears bravely, who,
utterly routed, retired to their den,
into which she would have followed
them had she not been prevented by
the keeper of the animals, who let
down the trap door. Then the COW
went to the slaughter house and full
flled her destiny.

A New and Terrible Illustration Of the
Old Slang Phrase.

A New and Terrible Illustration Of the
Old Slang Phrase.
A Louisville junk dealer recently
bought miscellaneous lot of old iron
from the state arsenal at Frankfort,
Ky. 1t included good many old
cannon balls and loaded bombshells,
and tho junk man hired H. L. Sanders
and James Force to unload the shells.
They took the shells into the country
and piling them up in tent went to
work.
One day shell exploded in their
hands A laborer ran to the tent,
which had fallen in and taken fire,
and found the two men shattered
corpses. The laborer dragged the dis
mem bcrcd bodies from the flames and
beat hasty retreat.
!!H was none too soon. In three
minutes the fire had communicated
with /. stack of shells, and off they
went with the thunder of full bat
terry of forty-poundcrs. This was
followed at short intervals by the
explosion of single shells that were
lying about. 1t all sounded like the
cannonade of armies in battle, and
shook the capitol over the hills that
encircled it.
Forces house, short distance from
the explosion, was entirely dismantled,
pieces of shell and slugs tearing
through it in every direction. A farm
house mile distant had every window
glass shattered and it's occupants badly
frightened. A shell was picked up on
the turnpike a quarter of mile from
the explosion.

Lakes and Climate.

The extent of the influence a lake
may exercise upon climate is illus
trated by the statement of NJ. Forel
that the quantity of heat accumu-
lated by Lake Leman during the sum-
mer is equivalent to that which would
be given out by the burning of 81, ooo,-
900 tons of coal. A railroad train car
rying this coal would be $4,000 k1lo-
meters long, or nearly the length of
the earth's meridian from pole to pole.

The funeral Of Christine Forbes Nc.
Leod, which occurred yesterday after

here. Many beautiful and suggestive
symbolic designs, wrought In flowers,
were contributed. Among the most
beautiful was pillow Of white passion
flowers, dailodils, white rosebuds and
jonquils, with the word Rest traced
in white heliOtTopes. Another was Il
star Of white rosebuds and daisies. A
bouquet of twenty-six white jonquiis,
with one dropping from "A broken stem,
was symbolic of the broken corps of
teachers Of the WhatcOm schools. The
Fairhaven Chautauqua circle, of which
deceased was q member, contributed II
wheel with "A broken spoke, wrought
in white daisies and geranium leaves.
Numel ous floral pillows, baskets and
bouquets of white flowers of all varie-
ties obtainable covered the casket.

by Rev. w. A. Mackay, who delivered
n brief funeral address. The deceased
was "A faithful member of the Presby-
terian church. A choir, consi sting Of

aud Mr.. Gates, rendered with Impress
i've melody, "Abide With Me-" "Sands

as pail bearers. The funeral
party took street cars at Harris and
Thirteenth streets, and was conveyed
TO the cemetery In three cars.
AT the cemetery the coffin was liter
ally buried in flowers. The pupils
Of the department taught by the de-
deceased had lined the grave with
white pansies and moss, and when the
casket was lowered each deposited a
bouquet upon it.. The clods thrown up
In excavating were covered with pro-
fusion Of cut flowers before the arrival
Of the casket. The service at the grave
was brief but impressive, conducted by
Rev. Mackay.
