is no word for it, especially when we
lay becalmed in the tropics, with our
vessel floating as helplessly about as
chip on mill pond, the ground swell
keeping up the monotonous roll of the
vessel from side to side all day and
night, and day after day, each roll be-
ing accompanied by a flap of the sails
and creaking of the rigging that
might have passed for the flap of the
wings and the wall of lost spirits.
When we read about Noah and his
ark we are apt to think that he must
have had rather lonely time, but then
he was out only forty days, and be-
sides, with all the animals, ETC., on
board, he had plenty to occupy his
time and attention, and if he wanted
amusement to while away the time he
mad only to start sparring match be-
tween his monkeys and parrots.
True, there is no report of any such
proceedings on his part, but that is
doubtless because there was no mod
ern newspaper reporter on board. I
tell you a man cannot realize what
loneliness or comfort is until he has
made some such trip, and if he wants
to complete his education in that line
he should preface it with a tramp of
two thousand miles over the mountains
and across the deserts amid wolves and
wild Indians, as thousands of forty
miners did.

HERCULES BEETLE.

beetles alive and the huge insect seems
to be doing uncommonly well, as it has
capital appetite and eats a peach
every day. 1t was caught in the Island
of Dominica and brought here by a
sailor. 1t is fully six inches long from
the tip of the upper branch of its pincers
to the end of its body. The head is jet
black, and from it grows out long
black horn, somewhat irregular in
shape. The lower surface of this horn
is covered with deep gold-colored
bristles, which no doubt aid in holding
whatever the beetle seizes. Another
but shorter horn grows out from the
thorax, and the two form a powerful
pair of pincers, with the body for a
handle
The elytra, or wing covers, are of
dirty dapple gray, while the under
part of the body is black. There are
six powerful legs armed with claws,
which easily sink into the human flesh,
while nip from the pincers is thing
to be remembered, even when the in
sect has only begun to pinch. Prof.
Beutenmuller has the beetle in his de-
partmental room in the museum.

WHERE LIFE is INSECURE.

African Village Awakened at Midnight by
Murderous Raiders.
Some evening you look around the
village and see the people at their
usual occupations, and later on retire
to rest, writes DR.. Laws, in the Zenana
Record. Suddenly the midnight still
ness is broken by dis tant call, and,
alert, you raise yourself to listen. The
call comes nearer, and is taken up and
passed by other voices, and soon you
are convinced it is the cry of alarm
war! war! A few minutes more and
the village is astir, the people rushing
hither and thither, seeking to find
safety in the thickest bush-a mother
calling for her children, or child for
mother, but unable to find each other
because of the alarm and scare which
have separated them.
You spend a wakeful and watchful
night, not knowing where the enemy
may be, nor where his attack may take
place. After long, anxious, weary
hours you are thankful to notice the
first glimmer of dawn showing itself
in the east. A dangerous hour passes
by and the enemy who has been ex-
pected is not seen; but later on you
see smoke rising from village miles
away, and in the course of few hours
you may see men, women and children
with terror-stricken faces, torn limbs
and bleeding feet hurrying past, or, it
may be, coming to you to get their
wounds dressed. AS you seek to re-
lieve their pain you hear of how one

THEY CAN HANDLE WHIPS.
Remarkable Precision and Skill of the
Esquimau Drivers.


Esquimau Drivers.
The skill of the Esquimau dog
drivers with the whips, by which they
control their unruly teams, is said to
be something marvellous. The whip
consists of a rawhide lash about forty
feet long, fastened to handle not
over six inches in length. A contest
was arranged among them in the pres
ence of an explorer.
A nickel was the prize. 1t was
buried in the ground, with just enough
of the edge showing to allow it to be
seen. The contestants stood in line
the length of their whips away from it
and about eight feet apart. The most
expert whip was a little man not
more than four feet high. with slant
ing eyes and spiky little beard that
made him look very japanese. A
movement of his wrist sent the forty
feet of lash curving back in a straight
line like long snake.
Another movement and it came for
ward noiselessly, shooting through the
air Just above the surface of the
ground, until, with loud report, the
tip end of the lash struck the exact
spot where the coin lay buried, dug it
from the ground, and brought it spin
ming back to the Esquimau artist.
Such precision and such force are
certainly unknown to any other whips
in the world. One of these fellows
conld cut a man to pieces with his
whip, if he had occasion to.

RAID OF THE FLEAS.
Lively Insects Make q Visit to Fashionable
Residents of Gotham.

Lively Insects Make a Visit to Fashionable
Residents Of Gotham.
New Workers have a plague. The
wicked flea has come to town. The
Fashionable district between Eighth
and Eighteen streets and Third and
Fifth avenues has been invaded by
feas.
They come not as single spies, says
the Morning Journal, but in battalions.
They have entered every mansion and
hotel in this large district. They meet
the house owner at the door. They
dance on the dinner table, hold con-
ferences on the sideboard and prone
made in the drawing-room. They take
maps in the bedrooms, swim in the
bath and train their muscles in the
gymnasium. Wherever the house
holder flies he finds feas.
1t is rumored that the feas were
brought to the district by wind from
Ellis island. A zephyr which passed
over some Russian immigrants on
Ellis island blew over the lower part
of the city and conveyed the feas to
Union square and vicinity. The feas
were so lively that it was thought they
came from France. In fact, they had
the vivacity of French feas.
Fleas reign throughout the entire
district, and their acrobatic feats are
the amusement and delight of many
spectators. They occupy the city
houses of those who have gone to the
country. They make themselves ia
miliar with those who are still staying
in town. They are jolly, lively and
irrepressible. In fact, they are the
humorists of the insect world. -

OUTLAWS BODY PETRIFIED.

Bruce Younger's Rsmains Found IN
Cave In New Mexico.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, March 6.-Several
months ago squad Of miners in New
Mexico discovered a cave, in which
In the morning they saw in the opening
what appeared to be body. On ex-
aiming it they found that it was hui
man corpse, and petrified at that.
About fifteen years ago, when the
officers were hot after the James and
Younger boys, Bruce Younger left his
home in Missouri and took refuge in
cave in the Guadalupe Mountains in
Southern New Mexico. A negro whom
the Younger family had raised went
and ammunition to the fugitive
IN the cave, and on several occa-
sions, Mrs. Billie stated, she and
Bruce's sister visited him. On
one occasion the negro made his reg
ular visit to the bandit, but he never
returned, and from that time nothing
has been seen or heard OF Bruce Young
er. 1t was in this cave that the body
was found. BY close observation gun
shot wound is clearly dlstinguishable in
the right side, directly under the arm.
The right hand Is over the heart and
the left on the stomach. The figure Is
that of man about SO or 40 years of
age. He wore a mustache, which can
be plainly seen, and the agony of death
still fingers on the face. All Of Young
er's relatives save one have identified
the petritication as that of the dead out

BOLD MOVE FOR A THRONE.
Death of the Sultan of Zanzibar Leads to
Short-IYed Revolt.

ZANZIBAR, March 6.-Alibin Said, Sui
tan of Zanzibar, is dead. He was bro
Their of the former sultans, Khalifa and
Burghash, and succeeded to the sui
tanate on the death of the former in
February, 1890. He was born In 1855
No sooner was it known that the Sui
tan was dead than his son Kalid gained
trance, evidently with the Intention of
claiming the throne in defiance of Brit
ish authority. Kalid caused the portals
of the palace to be barred, and made
preparations to defend himself in
the structure, which, besides be-
ing the most magnificent residence
in Zanzibar, is also very strongly built
Tor defense. Gen. Mathew acting il the
absence of Sir Il. A. Portal, now on his
way to Uganda as British commissioners
to examine the situation of that coun-
try, took a prompt and vigorous course.
Proceeding to the palace with strong
force of troops, he demanded that the
gates be opened or otherwise the palace
would be carried by storm, if necessary.
Kalid was dismayed by the resolute
attitude of the British, and concluded
to yield, and the doors of the palace
were thrown open aud the troops ad
mitted. Kalid was then removed from
the palace under a guard of soldiers,
and Hamid, who has been the desig-
mated heir to the throne, and recognized
as such by the British, was proclaimed
by the British authorities as Sultan or
Seyyid and at once installed in author
ity under the British protectorate.

United States Marines Watching the
Cuban Insurgent Leaders.
KEY WEST, Fla, March 6.-The Cuban
leader, Gen. Jose Marti, is here to
arouse the spirits of his countrymen to
strike blow for the freedom Of Cuba.
He raised several thousand dollars dur
ing short stay at Tampa, which will go
to defray the expenses of the expedi-
ton and for the purchase of arms for
the insurgent army. 1t is believed
here that he will accompany the expe-
dition which will sail from Key West.
It would seem almost impossible for
the vessel to get away from this island,
in view of the precautions taken by the
government. There is a picket guard
from the cruiser Atlanta around the
entire island. The corvette Kearsarge
still lies at the mouth of the outer har-
Dor, while the revenue cutter McLane
is cruising along the Florida keys to in
tercept the insurrectionary vessel.

BERLIN, March 6.-The re-ballot in
Leignitz for a representative in the
Reichstag was held yesterday, and re-
suited in the election of Herr Jungfer,
the Freisinnige candidate, who received
$4,000 votes, against 7,449 cast for
Herr Hertwig, the candidate of the
anti -Samites. Leignitz has heretofore
been a Freisinnige stronghold. Herr
Hertwig's only claim upon the electors
was that he had acted as counsel for
Rector Ahlwardt, when the latter was
prosecuted Tor Hbelling Herr Loewe,
but he polled such heavy vote that
the Freisinnige candidate failed of cleo
ton. This rendered second ballot
necessary. Both parties were out in
force. Herr Hertwig polled upward Of
1900 more votes than he did at the pre-
Coeding election.
