The steamer Thomas Anderson Meets With
Thrilling and Unusual Experience.
The British tramp steamship Thomas
Anderson, 10 days out from Hamburg,
arrived in New York recently with a
general cargo and some interesting data
concerning Atlantic waterspouts. The
vessel was $50 miles east Of Sandy Hook
Friday when First Officer Hardalzer OBJ
served a heavy, black cloud. The mass
of vapor writhed and rolled, and when
it was half a mile dead ahead Of the An
derson q solid bank of water suddenly
rose from the sea. Whirling on its base,
white with foam, the waterspout went
up to meet the cloud. Half way TO the
edge of the scud the waterspout sudden
~ collapsed, and with q roar and q
crash the whole mass of water tumbled
back into the sea.
The Anderson 10 minutes later passed
over the spot where the spout had risen.
The ocean was still in turmoil, and the
steamship rocked heavily. She had hard
" crossed the disturbed area when the
wind veered, and q few moments later
four more spouts arose, two on each side
of the steamship They circled around
in uncomfortable proximity, and while
Che vessel passed between them another
rose directly astern. When the Ander-
son was a long way off, the spouts were
still wheeling along the sea.

lola to a Young woman.

Amid the bountiful honors which have
recently been bestowed upon lola in
England a good deal of comment has
been excited by his reply TO a young
woman who asked him point blank if he
would recommend her to read his books
The novelist sent this reply:
AIADrMoIsELLE--As long as a young lady Is
unmarried she Is under the care Of her parents.
When she morries she win do well 10 consult
her husband. Ny view Is that you may read
my books, provided your parents or your nus
band gives you leave.
The critics want to know whether lola
is still so deep in the slough Of medieval
ism as to think that a woman who may
take the responsibility Of marriage may
not choose the literature which she will
read

the faint halloo Of some one out on the

of Alabama introduced the following
bill:
In order to commemorate the beginning OF

MES 20 express the profound reverence and
thanks OF the people for tho advanced civiliza-

scribe, and continuing during so much OF said
year as may be provided by said Legislature.
That the president OF the United States shall,

Speaking of the bill General Wheeler
said; 1.-The suggestion is entirely my

Some of the Things It Accomplished of rs

Now that the parliament Of religion in
Chicago has ended, il is pertinent TO ask
what IL has accomplished. The inquiry
is q difficult one TO answer, for no tangi-
bic results were 10 be looked for from
such a gathering. IL recorded no vote
on any Of the questions discussed, and
to all outward seeming it left things
just as they were before. Nevertheless
the plain and unbiased people of the
country who have read of its doings
have formed some sort Of opinion as to
the points at issue. And that opinion.
whatever it may be, is the exact measure
Of what the parliament accomplished.
We believe that because Of the parlia-
ment American Christians have come TO
recognize more cleagly than ever before
the fact that there are other religions
than Christianity. 1t makes no differ
ence whether these other religions are
regarded as wholly or only partly false.
In either case they are still religions, by
means of which hundreds Of millions of
people find some sort Of consolation and
hope, and which at least attempt to give
a rational explanation Of the problem Of
life and destiny.
We may go even further ana say tnal
the parliament has proved the other
world religions TO be at one with Chris
tianity in many essential points of be
lief and practice. And it has also shown
that some of the popular conceptions OF
"heathenism' are grossly inaccurate.
But while Christians have thus gained
a truer knowledge of what is good in
the other religion. and we hope a larger
charity, they have seen nothing in them

Those who were at the bicyclers rest

like shining particles of the flying phos-

were Jumps of it lying around bigger
than the famous Kohinoor, and as a
scene it really looked as though a dia-
mond mine had suddenly been unearthed
by the uprooting of the tree. Many peo-

this morning the luminosity had almost
entirely passed away. The scientific
reason for all Of this can probably be
