The Largest Flower Known.

In Mindinac, the farthest southeastern
island in the Philippine group, upon ono
of its mountains, the volcanic Apo, q
party of botanical and ethnographical
explorers found recently, at height of
$500 feet above the sea level, a colossal
flower. The discoverer, DR.. Alexander
Schadenberg, could scarcely believe his
eyes when he saw amid the low growing
bushes the immense buds of this flower
growing like gigantic cabbage heads
But he was still more astonished whel.
he found a specimen in full bloom, five
petaled flower nearly a yard in diameter
as large as carriage wheel, in fact
This enormous blossom was borne on
sort of vine creeping on the ground.
The native who accompanied DR..
Schadenberg called it "bolo." The party
had no scale by which the weight of the
flower could be ascertained, but they
improvised a swinging scale, using their
boxes and specimens as weights. Weigh
ing these when opportunity served, it was
found that a single flower weighed over
twenty-five pounds. 1t was impossible
to transport the fresh flower, SO the
travellers photographed it and dried a
number of its leaves by the heat of fire.

Though somewhat late in the season,
the sea serpent has turned up at last,
this time few miles off the Aberdeen
shire coast. The vouchers for its ap-
pearance are the crew of the fishing
boat Harbinger, who state that while
lying at anchor an extraordinary look
ing monster, with neck like giraff,
long, dark name, skin spotted like
fancy linoleum, suddenly rose over the
gunwale and placed one foot at the
PROV and the other near the stern of the
Harbinger. The boat listed over nearly
three feet, to the horror of the crew, one
of whom ran up the mast, and the 9TH
ers dropped into the hold.
The creature remained in sight for a
quarter of an hour, SO that ample time
was afforded to the fishermen to recover
their wits and take stock of the visitor,
which they further describe as having
ears of extraordinary dimensions mo
doubt of this), teeth like marble stair
case, and jaws, when open, sufficiently
wide to stow away an omnibus. And
all this off the Aberdeenshire coast in
our home seas!-London Chronicle.

+. b. Schemerhorn, geologist, who re-
Gently discovered the great glaciers in
Idaho county, has found fossil forest
in the center of Custer county. In the
same locality he has discovered the pet
ritied bones of now extinct race of men
and animals. which will be sent to Chi
cago
The forest covers an area of four
square miles, and the condition of the
ground shows that at one time an enor-
nous flow of clay, which worked in from
the northwest, buried the tree trunks to
n great depth This clay has turned to
stone and no one can ascertain its true
depth without going to great expense
All the trees i'll this forest have their
tops broken off and stand from ten to
forty feet above the ground, averaging
about twenty-eighr to the acre. Schem-
erhorn took the exact measurement of
some of the trees, and found them to
average twelve feet in diameter ON top
and sixteen feet in diameter Mt the sur
face of the ground.
How far the trunk reached through
the clay stone to the soil he had no
means of ascertaining. A branch which
had become detached from tree and
was lying about sixteen feet from it was
three feet i'll diameter. From the size
of the trees and their branches Mr..
Schemerhorn thinks they arc II species of
redwood, such as is found in California,
and attributes their fossilizatiCu to the
clay, which, bearing large part OF
mineral and presumably coming from
some volcano soon turned the living
trees into monuments of stone.-Idaho

Henry jacobson, who is employed at
the North Manukau Heads as beacon
light keeper, was out in his boat six
miles down the harbor when it was
struck by squall and swamped and the
occupant left in the water. jacobson
dived and endeavored to relieve the bal
last, but without success. He then
grasped an oar, and being a good swim
mer struck out for land, but as strong
tide was running he was swept down
the harbor distance Of three miles.
At that point he was attacked by q
large shark, which grabbed at his hand.
He protected himself, however, with the
oar which he tried to ram down the
sharks throat. The fish then made
circle around him and renewed the at
tempt. By this time, however, Jacob
son had his sheath knife drawn and des-
perately stabbed the shark, ripping its
side open so that the water became red
with blood.
A further attack was made, when
jacobson again stabbed the monster
near the tail and it swan away. At that
time boat came in sight. jacobson,
too much exhausted to speak, was hauled
into the boat, having been in the water
two hours and thirty minutes.-New

Why People Lose Weight in Summer.

why People Lose Weight in Summer.
To most persons the summer season is
time of excitement instead of quiet
rest as it should be. With the approach
of warm weather most people begin to
lay plans for vacations and enjoyments,
and in little while have worked them
selves into state of excited anticipa-
ton. Not only this, but they undertake
excursions requiring considerable travel,
either by land or water, so that during
the heated term they have completely
departed from the quiet paths of life
trodden SO steadily all the rest Of the
year.
Now it is well known fact that the
majority of people lose weight during
the summer This loss is generally ac-
counted for by the smaller quantity Of
food consumed during warm weather,
but we should say that the excitement
incidental to vacations and travelling
was as much responsible for it as the
other. 1t is a question If our Indian
summer, the most charming season Of
the year, would not make better vaca-
ton period for the majority of people,

All In His Eye.

A man calling himself DR.. Henry WIS.,
tied the house of Mrs. F. X. Brewster,
in Suffolk, Conn, ON Thursday, and rep
resenting himself as the assistant of DR..
Morgan, of Boston, who had been treat
ing her for an eye disease, announced
that he was sent to perform an opera
ton. Mrs. Brewster, who is seventy
five years of age, gave her consent. The
bogus doctor said she had an abscess on
the eye and he would remove it.
He produced an instrument, made tive
or three motions with it over the old
lady's eyes and then exhibited in the
palm of his hand as the removed abscess
a substance which afterward proved to
be beefsteak. Then he collected twenty
eight dollars from the old lady and left.

Deer from the Adirondacks,

Gently returned with ten fine deer,

ing $40 pounds. A third shot was found
necessary to kill him. Last Tuesday
Captain David Hutchinson, of Rutland
VT, celebrated his ninety-third birthday
by shooting in the Adirondacks deer
weighing 267 pounds. Captain Hutchin-
son is famous hunter, and despite his
age he has lately tramped with his rifle
eight miles daily in search of deer and
bear. In the year 1856, when he was sixty
eight years old, he killed fifty-five deer
in the Adirondacks.
A number of splendid carcasses of
deer shot ON Jessup's river, Indian river,

gon clearing have been shipped to New
York, Brooklyn and other points. The
largest buck sent out this year was shot

A Mixed Up Affair.

Recently on the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad train ran over and
killed COW near Thompson, Tenn. A
day or two afterward, when the train
passed through, an officer arrested the
engineer and took him before a justice
of the peace, where he was tried foi
cruelty to animals. The passenger train
was held four hours, during which time
the mails were delayed. 1t seems that
the prosecutors have gotten themselves
in bad fix.
Warrants have been issued by judge
for the arrest of the justice of the peace,
the officer who made the arrest, the
sheriff and the lawyer for contempt OF
court, as the road is in the hands of a
receiver and permission must be secured
to sue the road The superintendent #
the mail service is also after them. -

MATCHED AND DRESSED FLOORING. ETC.
The Color Of Stockings.


A woman whose word is important on
such subjects says that when wearing
light gown the decision as to stock
ings is important. 1t is by no means the
fact that because one wears mauve, pink,
maize, that black stockings have gone
out. No matter what the color Of the
dress may be, black silk or Isle thread
stockings, with glace, kid or patent
leather shoes, are worn. From an eco
nomic point of view, black stockings have
everything in their favor. This argu-
ment, however, is of less value than
that which assures that they make the
foot look smaller. II variety is needed,
there are black stockings, with clocks
embroidered in spots, or with tiny flow
ers, introducing the color of dress worn.
For evening wear there are black silk
stockings introducing Chantilly lace al
ternating with embroidery; but black,
always black. This decision inevitably
excludes Scotch plaid stockings, which
have no place in nature, and which some
one, with little faith in women's good
taste, has atroduced. All eccentric
stockings are in execrable taste.-San
Francisco Argonaut.

A New overcoat for Full Dress.

A new overcoat for full dress is vouch-
safed by the swell Londoners. 1t is a
most diplomatic innovation, and seems
to belong to another regime of manners,
when men of fashion met on Fleet street
and courtesied elaborately and strobe
magnifcently through the minuet. In
these days of skirt dancing and serpen-
tine high kicking and ta-ra-ra boom
such a vogue seems untimely.
But it is really "a most engaging type
to contemplate, consisting as 1t does OF
one single cape of black material. IL
hangs in military grandeur SO far down
as to cover the coat tails. The especial
feature is a very high velvet standing
collar that comes tight together in front,
and is held in place by ali oxidized silver
clasp. -Clothier and Furnisher.

Jade Head In an Ancient French Grave.

siders it head of Kouan Yin, Chinese

have been worn as an amulet around the

After the rather unsatisfactory ex-
perience Of last season the district COM
missioners have decided to experiment
further with the free bathing beach.
This time, however, there is to be no
risk of life, provided the plans of the
commissioners are successful. Last sea-
son the beach was open to all comers,
but in the future none but experienced
swimmers will be allowed to enjoy the
privilege. With this end in view the
commissioners have, through their Sec
retary, DR.. Tindall, addressed the fol-
lowing communication to the superin-
tendent of the beach:

The advance statement issued from
the treasury department of the exports
of domestic breadstuffs from the United
States for May, 1899, furnishes much in
teresting information. AS compared
with May Of last year, such exports have
increased to an astonishing degree, be-
ing valued at $i09, ,956, ,9S4 in May, 1891,
and $272 ,476, ,0o3 in 1892.
Taking these two months, we find
that with the exception of barley the
exports of all the breadstuffs have grown
enormously. For instance, corn, 81, ore, :
s93, as against 81 431 1886; oats, $473, ,052,
IS against $12,232; rye, $443, ,446, as
against nothing; wheat, $9,642 Ala, as
against $6,667 ,S0S, and so on. Not less
interesting is it to notice which are our
leading ports of export for breadstuffs.
OF course New York takes the lead in
this, there having been shipped from
here breadstuffs to the value of $S,56S,-
$40. During the same time there were
exported from the following places
breadstuffs valued as follows: Balti-
more, 50, ,103,5 800; Philadelphia, $2,SOS,-
917; New Orleans, 81 $40; Boston,
81 ,614,631; San Francisco, $Ss3, 1884; Du-
luth, $45S,278; Newport News, Va,
$325, ,s71, and Chicago, $244,974.
These shipments from Newport News
were undoubtedly to the countries south
of us, which, under reciprocity treaties,
are taking more of our breadstuffs than
formerly. But see how Duluth, "the
zenith city of the unsalted seas," looms
up as place of export for breadstuffs,
beating Chicago in this respect two to
one.-New York Mail and Express.

Shingles Coming Around Cane Horn.


An experiment of interest to the shin
gle manufacturers will shortly be made
by Lewis d Crane, of Seattle. An ex-
perimental cargo of shingles is to be
shipped by vessel around Cape Horn to
Philadelphia, there to be distributed to
dealers in the New England states.
While the cargo will be almost wholly
composed of red cedar shingles, some of
the best grades of fir, spruce and cedar
lumber will be sent. Messrs. Lewis g.
Crane stated that il the shipment proved
successful other cargoes would be sent
around the Horn to New York and
Philadelphia, making those cities the
Atlantic coast distributing points for
Washington lumber and shingles.
There is difference of opinion among
lumbermen as to whether venture of
this kind will pay. Many believe that
freights, insurance and handling will
eat up the profits, others say the expert
ment will pay handsomely. If nothing
else is done than to establish distribut-
ing center in the far east for Washing
ton shingles, the benefit to be derived
from an eastern outlet will in time more
than make up for any loss.-Puget Sound
