The ocean, too, has its living lam
terms or phosphorescent animals, and
among these the jelly-tish and sea-
anemone are very numerous. Some
times they look like pillars of fire,
sometimes like stars and sometimes
like fiery serpents, flashing out red,
green, yellow and lilac rays. Many
luminous sea-creatures are very small,
not larger than a spark, but these
gather in such masses that in the IN
dian ocean the water often looks like
a great sea of molten metal, and q
naturalist who bathed among them in
the Pacific said that he found himself
luminous for hours afterward, while
the sands on which the insects were
stranded at low tide cleaned like
grains of gold.
The bottom of the ocean is magnfi-
cent with its star-hsh and sea-pads,
some in rich purple and shedding a
soft, golden-green light, while others
send out silver flashes, and the lamp
fish carries on its head at night a
golden light. Another fish seems to
be decorated with pearls and it is eyi-
IDENTIFY the fashion to be brilliant there
in some way. Even crabs in hot elm
ates seem to set themselves on fire and
when captured and teased they blaze
all over with indignation. A species
of shark, too, is intensely brilliant at
night and one that was drawn up shone
like splendid lamp for some hours
after it was dead.
Naturalists have long been at work
on the curious subject, and the source
OF the illuminating power is supposed
to be contained in little sacs or cells in
the body Of the animal. Hafpea's

They VIII Leap Over a Precipice or
Run Until They Die.
''Many people who have been much
on the plains in the ante-railroad days
have seen stampedes of mules and
horses" remarked L. T. Otero of Santa
Fe, ''but by far the worst stampede is
that of terrified oxen. When they are
loose they will, if frightened, run over
precipice if it comes in their way,
but if stampeded when hitched to
wagons very few will escape. Once
when on the Cimarron one of my OK
teams became frightened, what at I
never knew. The six oxen started off
at a breakneclS speed, and the con-
tagion was impaired to two other
teams. The men tried to stop them,
but they might as well have tried to
check mountain torrent. The oxen
went on right across the country, with
heels, and ran until nearly half of
them fell dead from exhaustion. l
used to think that a blooded horse was
the only animal that would run itself
to death, but after my experience l
learned that it was no uncommon thing
for frightened OK to do

MISTAKEN PRIDE OF SERVICE

1t appears that the cruiser Atlanta,
one Of the latest additions to our new
navy. is in an unseaworthy condition,
and will have to be rebuilt, owing to
her faulty construction. A commission
that recently inspected her reports that
her condition as to cleanliness was far
from satisfactory; that in mahy com
partments rust and cOrrosion have been
painted over; that the ship has list to
Starhoard of about six degrees, fault
that is probably due to the faults of her
original construction, and that other de-
fectS exist which render the vessel I'M
safe. a prominent naval officer, in
speaking of the matter in connection
with number of changes that have re-
Gently taken place in the officers of the
vessel, says that the present disgraceful
state of affairs grew out OF an original
condition of neglect. Those who sue
ceeded the period of laXity may have
Shrunk from the disagreeable task of
exposing the cuipability of the prede-
ceSSorS. With this mistaken notion of
honor to fellow officers and pride of
service the injury increased. Probably
each new commander hoped that some
accident would spare him the trouble of
reporting to the department the true
condition OH board the Atlanta until his
negligence i'll this has added him to the
list of those who nave failed in an i'm
portant duty to the department.
This IS an explanation which, if cor
rect, shows the need of a general shak-
ing up in the naval service. If .'honor
to fellow officers" and ''pride of
service" can be used as means of Gov
ering up such culpable neglect and in
efficiency, it is about time that a revolu-
ton was wrought in naval etiquette.
The officer vino knows of mismanage-
ment or dereiiction on the part OF his
predecessor and fails from any cause to
report the facts to the department is
himself guilty of tlagrant wrong that
should be punished by summary re-
meval from Office ana such other pun
ishment as the gravity OF his otfense
would seem to warrant.
There is altogether too much 'pride
Of service" and ''offieial courtesy in
both the army and navy. To be sure,
each officer should take a personal
| pride III maintaining the honor of that
branch of the service TO which he be-
longs, but it is grave mistake to think
that that honor can be maintained by
concealing or attempting to justify
acts that are in themselves unjustifiaole
upon grounds of morality. The real
good of the service" demands that
| all Incompetent, unfaithful and aristo-
| cratic officers be weeded out. 1t does
not cure blemish to conceal it. The
work of eorroSion still goes on under
| the surface, and is bound sooner or
| later to manifest itself, and when the
exposure finally comes the scandal is
! the greater and more humiiating.
The many who is guilty OF neglect in
any branch of the government service
deserves the seyerest punishment; he
who assists in concealing that neglect is
equally culpable, and merits equal con-
domination. Rules of courtesy or hon
esty that do not prevail in all channels
of business life have no place in either
army or naval circles.

THE RELIGIOUS CONGRESS.

The congress of religions now in SEES
sion at Chicago is in all respects the
most remarkable gathering of men that
mas taken place since time began. In
one assembly room we find the repre-
sentativeS of every creed and religion
in the world. Jew and Mohammedan,
Christian and Buddhist, Greek and
Roman, sit side by side on terms Of alb
solute equality and in spirit of anlity.
They differ widely on all theories of re-
iigion, essential as we'll as non-essen-
tial. Some have been trained In the
most constrained of atmospheres,
breathing intolerance from their youth
up; Others have grown to manhood in
the freedom begotten OF nineteenth
century progress, and are tolerant and
liberal toward all men. Tie opponents
OF the true and the falSe-for there can
be but one true reiigion-mingie to-
gether and discuss their differences of be-
lief without rancor or passion, each
striving for more light on subjects that
may concern the life that now is aud
that which is TO come.
The results that will inevitably fol-
low such a gathering cannot but be of
great Importance to the world. One of
the chief is alteady manifeSt-the tOler-
ance of each member of the congress
for the opinions and beliefs of the 9th
ers. There is in the assemblage the
recognition of the right of one man to
differ from all others without incurring
denunciation for such difference. The
right to freedom of thought is here
freely admitted. To the denial of that
right may be traced all the prosecutions
and many OF the wars of the paSt-the
revolutions that have overthrow dy-
nasties and divided peoples of the same
race: wars of conquest and revenge, Of
piliage and reprisai. Religious intoler-
ance has been veritable Pandora'S
box, which has been opened time and
again at the behest of bigots or tyrants,
and spread suffering and disaster over
the world.
But at last we see glimmering of the
promised day when the lion and the
lamb shall lie down together. and a little
child shall lead them.' Men differ as
they ever have differed, and will con-
tinue to differ, yet ali recognize the
right to individual opinion aud its ex-
preston. This congress of religions is
presided over by a representative of one
of the most orthodox of sects. whose
founder in the United States was perse-
cuted and pursued with a malevoIence
scarcely paralleled in the history of the
dark ages. Prelates Of the church of
Rome are among the chief dIsputants,
while the hierarchy of the religions Of
the East-Of India, of China, and of
RusSia-fOllow each other in friendly
contention and earnest eXhortation.
The differences in the Protestant
creeds are lost sight of for the mo-
meut, and Baptist and Methodist, Pres
byterian and Episcopalian, disciples of
CALVIN and of SwEDENBORG join hands
in universal love feast, and sing
praises to that Almighty Being to whom
all most reyerently bow and tender
their homage.
The church universal is assembled
this day in the most cosmopolitan city
OF the world. Verify it looks like the
dawn of the millennium

1HE Minneapolis journal accuses our
''Tail Pine" of cribbing portions of the
speech which he delivered on Labor
day from the Encyclopedia Britannica.
1t finds, or affects to find, portions of an
article in the speech, taken word for
word. Assuming that the statement is
true, but regarding it as of no conse-
quenee il so, we find a sufficient motive
for the appropriation in Mr.. ERwIN'S
utilization with the PopuliSts, whose
main purpose, every one knows, is the
appropriation of the effects of others
under process of law without even a
"Thank ye."
There Is one view OF the matter. how
ever, which gives poor grace to such a
charge from that paper. AS a steady
supporter Of Mckinleyism. the Journal
believes is despOiling the foreigner. 1t
would appropriate his wealth to defray
the cost of conducting our federal gov
eminent. Ii would make the "foreigner
pay the tax" This it would do without
acknowledgment or credit. What is the
foreigners Is ours, if we can get at it
and reduce IL to our possession. The
Encyclopedia Britannica is foreign
work; therefore it is ours. If it is ours,
1t is any one of ours. 1t is as much Mr..
ERWIN's as the Journals. Either or
any one has right to consider it and
its contents as much his own as if he
had created it. Mr.. ERWIN has done
nothing but apply McKinleysm to lit
erature, and the Journal is not i'll DO
sitiOn to say him nay.

general says this board has no jurisdic-
ton, Resolved, that the state auditor
DE requested to grant a hearing to the
officials, and make such reduction as he
finds advisable to make the assessment
equal with surrounding counties, if he
finds that it can legally be done.
MIR. ChrlStianSOn moved to indefinitely
postpone the resolution, and his motion
was lost by tie vote. Mr.. Seabury
moved the adoption of the resolution,
ana prevailed by vote of 9 to 6.

CHOLERA VICTIMS,
Thousands OF Pilgrims for Niece
Die.


TUNIS, Sept. 13.-Of the 5000 pill
grimS that left here and other parts in
May last for Mecca, only half have re-
turned, the others having fallen victims
to the cholera. Fully 1900 friends
and relatives met the returning
pilgrims on their release from quaran-
tine, and there were many heart-rending
demonstrations of grief by the rela-
tiyes of those who had succumhed to
the disease. The survivors tell terrible
tales of suffering. On June "a 100000
pilgrims were gathered on the sacred
mount to hear solemn address prior
to their preparing for Mecca. Many of
the multitude were starving. The mount
resembled battle field, being Strewn
with the corpseS of victims of the
pestilence, among whom were lying
hundreds of the poor wretches who
were dying from the dread disease. So
frightful was the condition of affairs
that no one dared to approach the place.
Finally battalion of 700 Turkish sol
dierS was sent to bury the dead and re
lieve the living. Five hundred of these
soldiers lost their lives as result of
their devotion to DUTY. OF the whole
battalion only 200 men escaped the
pestilence.
