A LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAyE.-A
steam packet company of Liverpool de-
sired to enlarge their premises and de
cided to purchase the piece of land ad-
joining, and which belonged to maid
en- lady. The lady was willing to sell,
and at so low a figure that the directors
were astonished. She had clause IN
serted in the deed to the effect that dur
ing the term of her natural life she and
a companion should at any time travel
free in any of the company's vessels.
The directors were delighted with their
bargain and readily agreed to this. On
the following day the lady sold her fur
niture, rented her house and went on
board the first outward bound vessel
belonging to the company without
troubling herself as to its destination.
Since that time, now 20 years ago, she
has always lived on one ship or anoth-
er, and is generally accompanied by
some lady traveller for whom she adver-
tises. She is believed to have made
more than $4,000 by the transaction
and the company has offered her that
sum to get rid of her, but without sue
cess, as she is earning more in this than
she could in any other way.

a NOVELTY IN DUELs.-The details
of one ofthe strangest duels ever fought
has been brought to this city by a pros
pector who has been in the mountains
southwest of Las Vegas. The country
is near the border line between Old and
New Mexico, and the people there are
mixture of the two races. Two young
men-an American and a Mexican
fell out over q young woman they both
loved, and the result was that the en-
nifty became too great to be carried
and it was determined to end it in q
duel.
The matter came about in an un-
usual way, however, and it was not a
regular challenge and acceptance, but
while in company of mutual friends the
Mexican taunted the American with
being member of a race of towards,
and said the American had no bravery.
The American, of course, disputed this
and said he would test the Mexican's s
bravery if he wished it. He would be
willing to go into a dark room
with the Mexican and there decide
the point. But the stipulation was
that in the dark room there
should also be lot of tarantulas
turned loose. If either came out alive,
he was to have the girl. Ifeither show
ed the white feather and came out be-
fore the death of the other or before all
the tarantulas were killed, he should
give up all claim to the girl.
The Mexican was disposed to refuse,
but the fear of being looked upon as a
coward caused him to accept. The
room was prepared and the two men
wentin. There were at least a dozen
tarantulas in the room and also two
scorpions. The American walked bold
ed into the room and took his stand,
while the Mexican followed, but was
hesitating in his manner. The doors
had been closed but short time until
the Mexican was heard to scream out
that he was bitten and was dying: The
door was opened and he staggered out
and fell to the floor. The American
walked out unhurt, and then it was
found that the Mexican had not been
bitten at all, but had scratched his
hand on protruding nail in the wall
and thought it a spider bite.-Las pegas
letter in Galveston Ne,cs.

A Wonderful Operation.

One of the most delicate surgical op-
erations ever performed in San Fran
cisco was that to which A. Baehm, u
patient at the city and county hospital,
was subjected recently. The operation
says Electricity, was remarkable in that
an endoscope, or small electric light,
was used during the process. This was
thrust into the thoracic cavity, and by
its illumination the action of the heart
and lungs was plainly visible. This is
the first case reported on the Pacific
coast where the electric endoscope was
used in difficult surgery with beneficial
results.
Baehm was afflicted with an abscess,
which had formed in the pleural cavity
and attacked the left lung The oper-
alton was an exceedingly dangerous
one, and in order not to shock the pa
tient no mention of the intention of
the physicians was made to him.
The sick man was quickly aniesthet-
lied and the inflated breast was exposed
to view. A discoloration on the left
side showed that the trouble lay under
the tissue in that direction, and DR.. Ell
linwood began operations at once by
making two deep incisions crosswise,
from which the blood spurted in
streams. Several Of the larger blood
vessels were necessarily cut, but these were
quickly ligatured with DR.. Stilman's assist
ancc The flaps of flesh were laid to one side,
exposing the third rib to view. The rib was
resccted for three inches, and when it was cut
away dark ond bloody opening was revealed
through which the thora;ic cavity and the
space between the lungs could be seen. DR..
Hrschfeder inserted the cndoscope through
the opening in Bachm's breast and the light
was turned on, Illuminating the interior of
the cavity with remarkable distinctness.
The heart worked slowly. owing to the ct-
feet of ether The aorta dilated and fell with
every heart beat. The lung was also plainly
visible During the one hour and half con-
sumed in making the operation the action of
the heart was plainly visible and the unusual
sight was the subject of such comment upon
the part of the operators and spectators:
When the process was completed and every
yestige of pus removed the endoscope was
withdrawn and the opening in Baehm's breast
closed The operation was highly success
full one in every particular.
