A Rooster on the Chicago.

On the flagship Chicago there is a
rooster which has been on board for
about eight months, during which time
he has delighted the crew and won his
laurels on several fields.
He was bought at Barbados on the
squadron's way south, and was intended
to be served for Christmas, but during
bad weather he crowed so Justify and
seemed such an undaunted rooster that
one of the officers interceded for him and
his life was spared.
On the quarter deck are several big
ventilators, which are partly covered
with polished brass, making refectors.
Dick, for so the rooster was named, soon
passed these ventilators and saw his re-
flection. His first air of startled sur
prise was met by the other rooster with
one which entirely equaled it. and upon
this Dick rufiled his feathers and looked
threateningly, only to be met by one
quite as defiant.
This was more than he could stand,
and after prancing around little he
advanced to the attack, being promptly
met by the other rooster. Then ensued
very comical encounter, for Dick
struck at this ventilator with bill and
spur, getting more and more mad every
minute, and furnishing side splitting
amusement to officers and men, who
We're interested spectators, until finally
from sheer exhaustion, he was obliged
to give up the fight and retire, having
only The satisfaction of finding that the
other rooster retired likewise.
The curious delusion lasted several
weeks, and it became a common thing
to see Dick either sullenly glaring at
that other one or actively engaged in
trying to damage him.
The crew are very fond of him, and
when they went ashore for target prac-
tice on an island Dick was allowed to
run ON shore. Boston Herald.

A state prison convict worth 100000
ia little out of the ordinary. Yet such
is Charles Wright, No. 4,7S9, q life man
at the Michigan state penitentiary.
Wright is fine looking man of thirty
years. He came to the prison from Ben
zie county, northern Michigan, little
less than three years ago. He was one
of the most prosperous business men in
that part of the state, having made a
fortune in the lumber business He and
his brother as partners operated extern
sive mills. Late in 1889 two officers of
the law proceeded to attach certain logs
ia order to compel the company to pay
taxes.
Wright requested them to attach a
neighboring pile of lumber rather than
the logs, as attaching the logs would
close down the mills and result disas-
trously. They not acquiescing, he made
the request take the form of com
mand, and said he would shoot them if
they persisted in serving process on the
logs. They came back in the evening
and attached the logs, feeling that this
was the only way the firm could be
brought to time.
"You remember what told you,"
were Wright's words, uttered in the
coolest manner.
"To blazes with you." was the only
response, and Wright, drawing a six
shooter he had just purchased, shot one
man dead, then the other.
AT the prison Wright's conduct is ex-
cellent. His cell, one of the larger and
lighter kind. has an oil stove in it. He
does most of his own cooking, and his
wealth enables him to have many deli
cacies If he wants extra tobacco he
has no trouble about getting it. He
probably lives better than many men
who enjoy liberty. His cell is finely
furnished. His bed is comfortable
one. There are paintings on the walls
and rugs upon the hard foor.-Cor. Chi

The following is based on the re-
suits of soundings taken by the Unit
ed States steamship Tuscarora in
1890:
The Tuscarora was commissioned
to determine the feasibility of a
cable route across the middle of the
north Pacific from California 10 Yo-
kohalna, Japan, by way of the Sand
wich and BONN islands. On the
homeward voyage they surveyed a
second route from the east coast of
Japan to the entrance of Puget
sound. On June II, 1890. on the sec
ond day out from the japanese main
land, 3,427 fathom sounding was
made, only forty-eight fathoms short
of the deepest sounding made off the
Ladrones-this, too, at distance of
only 100 miles from the coast of
Japan. In making the next cast in
the same vicinity the Tuscarora's
men ran out 4,Gl3 fathoms of wire,
and then the line broke before bot
tom had been reached. A Lucas
sounding machine, with 7,O00 fath-
oms of wire, was next brought on the
scene, and exactly 1855 fathoms of
the slender metallic strand were paid
out" before the nose" of the ma
chine grounded. Several casts of the
apparatus were made in this imme-
date neighborhood and the depths
found to range from 4,356 up to the
maximum of 4, 655 fathoms This Sc

east of the ridge lying between Cape
Lapatka and the Aleutian islands ex-
