ON THE VAST DEEP.

The Vast Solitude and Intense
Loneliness of Long Voyages.
l notice an item in the press stating
that the City of Peking, in her recent
trip, sailed 1,24O miles without meet
ing a single sail. and this fact is cited
as showing the loneliness of the Pacific
ocean, says the Washington Star. -,
In the summer of 1850 | left San
Francisco on d sail vessel formerly
from Baltimore) for Panama, distant
1000 miles, and on the entire rouoe
which lasted forty three days, we never
saw a SAIL
Loneliness is no word for it, es-
pecially when we lay becalmed in the
tropic, with our vessel floating as help
lessly about as a chip op a mill pond,
the ground sWells keeping up the mon
OtOnOus roll of the vessel from side to
side all day and night and day after
day, each rill being accompanied by a
flap of the sails and q eraaking Qf 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 a lonely time, but
then he was out only forty days, and,
besides. 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
had only to start sparring match be-
tween his monkeys and parrots. True,
there is no report of any such proceed
ing on his part, but that is doubtless
because there was no modefp BeWspa-
l tell you, a man can't 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
1000 miles over the mountains and
across the deserts amid wolves and
wild Indians, as thousands of forty
Miners did.

is q representation of growing field

is kept in place by a network of fine

Madalila palace, after which it was

The sun., 1893-08-03

The capitals or heads of columns show
much skill, invention and variety in
their ornamentation by means of corn
husks and rosettes of grains and
grasses. Back of the archway there
runs through the pavilion Il high par
tition, on either side of which Ii ar
ranged large display of grains and
grasses. There are some specimens
of grasses shown which are 33 IL feet
in height. The pediments Of the Ro-
man triumphal arch are ornamented
with inscriptions which set forth the
glorles Of South Dakota as producer
OF agricultural riches OF all kinds. One
motto declares that South Dakota leads
all the states in hogs, cattle and corn
for the year 1892. Another states that
South Dakota is the greatest flax state
in the Union, and that South Dakota
received the gold medals for flax and
corn ut the New Orleans exposition.
On the inside of the archway is the
Inscription 100 bushels of wheat for
every man, woman and chiltl-wheat
crop of South Dakota i'll 1892. Another
legend recites that South Dakota pro-
duced G5,000,0 900 bushels of wheat in
1892 The fruit aspect of the display
presents the appearance of great mas
siveness softened down by some excel

THE GOODNESS OF THE WORLD.
No Arsenic Wanted, After All, as the
Fellow WASN'T QuIfe Ready

No Arsenic Wanted, After All, as the
Fellow Wasn't Quite Ready.
A disheveled man with a green, ghast-
iy glare in his hollow, spectral eyes,
dashed into the corner drug store late
last night, apparently laboring under
intense excitement. His bloodless fin
gers were tightly clenched into his thin
palms, and on his forehead the great
drops stood out chilly and damp.
Staggering up to the prescription desk
he Missed in a sepulchral voice:
Gimme some arsenic, quick"
Druggists are not in the habit of dis
pensing arsenic on demand like sugar
candy, so the clerk laid down his pestle
and faced about.
What do you want with arsenic?"
said he.
II want to kill myself" gurgled the
frenZied one, hanging desperately over
the railing, with limp legs dragging
on the floor. Life amt no charms for
me, and / want to die! Gimme some
arsenic, quick!'
''All right, mister" cheerfulIy re-
sponded the clerk You shall have
your arsenic" and he turned to the
shelf
The strangers knees caved in against
the counter with thump.
The druggist turned, nonchalantly,
with package in his hand, and with
out the slightest feeling in his care
less. voice, went on:
ANY man that's big enough fool to
want to die hasn't any business living,
and the sooner you shuttle off the bet
ter it will be. Now, take this stuff,
and take it quick, so we can get your
carcass out Of the shop in time to shut
up for the night. And, for goodness
sake, don't muss up the fiOorH' said he,
slapping the packet down on the coun-
ter, and turning back unconcernedly
to his work.
The fellow feebly shrunlS away from
the little paper packet, and his eyes
bulged with horror.
''Wh-wh- -wh-what!' he stammcred,
hOarsely. You wouldn't give a fellow
being arsenic to kill himself WITH"
Il wOuldn't?' calculated the drug
gist. I'D like to know why not? That's

Hurry up and take it and go off and
die!'
With n disgusted expression blazing
on his face, the wild-eyed customer
remarked:
well, I'll be -blanked! Give
a man poison to- kill himself with
what's the world coming towel, I'll
be blanketty- -blanked! You amt got
no more feelings than q tin tobacco

And with a look of Eepraaeh that

effort to excel In her display of her
agricultural resources, and she has done
this along two we'll defined lines Every
one knows that North Dakota is the
great hard wheat state in the Union
and for this reason no display could
be said to represent the state which
did not show up this fact to the very
best advantage. Supt Dickey, how
ever, long ago came to the conclusion
that the wonderful wealth of forage
grasses grown in North Dakota would
make, if properly exhibited, Il most
wonderful display. In pursuance of
this belief he has made a collection
embracing 800 specimens. T hese grass
es are arranged around a central booth
in punches, and labeled with the proper
botanical and common names. The
most striking feature: of the display
is a figure of herculean proportions
representing North Dakota as the god
dess of harvests whose features and
dress are made out of grains and grass
es and other vegetable products of the
state. This figure stands upon high
pedestal, where it can be seen from

A New AnerOid,

Edward Whymper, the we'll known
authority on mountain climbing, has in
troduced a new form of aneroid, de-
signed especially for use in mountain
travel or for aeronauts. This form OF
mountain aneroid is intended to avoid
the inaccuracies which result from
continued exposure to low atmospheric
pressure. 1t is inclosed in a perfectly
air-tight outer case and the internal
atmosphere Is kept at about a normal
pressure at all times, except when an
observation is to be taken. The cock
Is then opened and communication
with the external atmosphere is estab-
lished. After the reading is taken the
pressure is restored to the normal by
means Of small force pump. The
conditions thus correspond to those
which originally obtained when the
aneroid was graduated under the air
pump receiver.

MONKEYS THUMBS.
A Simian Paderewski Could Cover
Two OctaVes.

Two OctaVes.
The hands, the fingers and, above all,
the thumbs belonging to Chico attract
cd my particular attention. Now you
must know that it is because man has
Il thumb, and for the reason that his
thumb is so beautifully jointed, supple
and adjustable, that he has been able
to overcome all difficulties. The other
fingers are all very well in their way,
but it is the thumb that controls the
real movement OF the hand. Without
a thumb you never could WELD 2
heavy sledgehammer or the most deli
cate OF watchmakers' tools. 1t is not
out Of the way to say that man is the
master, holding every other living
thing under his thumb"
Here is q little bit Of natural history
which must be remembered about mon.
keys. All the monkeys of the old
world have some kind Of a thumb. AS
st. George Nlivart, a great ZoolOgist,
writes: Amy old world monkey with
a rudimentary thumb Ohat is, thumb,
even if imperfect) is superior in that
respect to an American monkey" In
fact the American monkey has no
thumb at all. Nature compensates, in
measure, in our new world monkey
by giving him a wonderful tail. This
American monkey tail is prehensile.
1t answers almost the purpose of q
fifth limb. A South American monkey
gives his tail a hitch around the limb
of a tree. and there he hangs quite
comfortably. independent Of haRds OF
feet.
Chico's thumbs are superb, being
fully 4 IA inches long. The ordinary
length Of the human thumb is about
2 1-2 inches. Chico's middle finger is
a trif1e over five inches long. Mine
is 3 II inches. The ourang Outang's
hand was narrow apparently, but,
think, about the width Of that of a
human beings, only the sense of pro-
portion was lost, owing to the extreme
length of the fingers The knuckles
were small and perfectly in line, The
stretch of such hand as Chico's would
be enormous, fully .13 inches. The oc-
tRVe on the piano measures Z inches.
If Chico were pianist, he could with
little effort cover two Octaves, and
would leave Palerewski quite in the
shade. If Chico had q taste for the
double bass, once that those long
fingers of his were wound around the
Eacl7 Of a big fiddle, what Il wonder
ful performer he would be, providing
the instrument would stand the strain

MOI. day morning while Col Good
year's cl.ow were on the bar and a big
charge Of dynamite was being raised
from the bFinT depths on account of a
faulty cap, which would not explode,
the workers suddenly experienced a
pulling of the lines which were at
tached to it, Almost instantly ter
rible commotion was heard iH the
waters, and the spray began to rise
above the little boat like immense
waves Suddenly the two Eorkmen
who were in Il small boat were amazed
to soc the tentacles of a monster devil
fish soaring thirty feet in the air. The
foaming sea was about to engulf the
little craft whG1i the party in the large
boat observed tho cOmmOtiOn. The
touch of an electric buttoSf would have
ended the monster, but the GSG had
been tried, and the only way to save
them was to cut the wire connection
and the ropes, which was soon done,
aud the terror of the seas, after iaghipg
around q short while, disappeared,
much to the relief of the party. The
