Scutillng Ships.

Scuttling may he defined as the art
Of cutting holes through a ships hull,
either for the praiseworthy purpose Of
keeping her steady when stranded bS
filing the hold with water, and thus
save the ship and cargo, or to sink her
in order to obtain the money for which
che is insured. II is the latter form
of scuttling that we propose 10 deal
with.
A shipmaster is monarch OF all he
surveys, when remote from the land,
and no other sail above the boundary
line of sea and sky Hence, there
would be little difficulty in his way
should he propose to scuttlo his ship,
either to injure or TO assist the owners
thereof. For this reason, the laws
against scuttling have always been very
severe all over the world. BY an act
OF Congress passed in 1891, it WIS en-.
acted that "any person, not being an
owner, who shall on chs high seas will
fully and corruptly cast away, burg,
or otherwise destroy any vsssa. unto
Which he belougeth, being ths prop
erty of any citizen, or citizen, OF the
United States, or procure the same to
be done, shall suffer DEATH English
laws were similar. The last mnu exc.
cuted in England for snip scuttllnc
was Codling, hanged on Deal beach
about 1904 for scu.tling vessel in the
Downs in order TO obtain the sum for
which she was insured. Less drastic
laws prevail now, and the gravity of
such a case is met by penal servitude
and the cauceling OF certificates should
the offenders be shipmasters or o.
ticers. Chambers journal.

he raised his renowned brigade until
the day he was MANNED for life, and
through the battles that were fought
Eetween the Chickahominy and Get.
tysburg, was distinguished by the
same vehemence and tenacity that he
had previously displayed in politics
and that were subsequently displayed
in another field, about which less is
known by his countrymen. The story
is of his successful efforts AT Madrid,
when he was American Minister to the
short-lived Spanish Republic lS69-
1874, to bring about the abolition of
negro slavery in the Spanish West
Indies, has never been told. There
are documents upon this subject in
the State Department at Washington,
from which one of the most striking
chapters in our diplomatic annals
could be written, and it is to be hoped
that the chapter, which would bring
to light a remarkable but obscure epi-
sode in the stormy career of General
Sickles, will remain unwritten till
his life has ended. 1t is not too much
to say that it was by General Sickles's
pressure upon CASTELAR, that the sbo-
lition of slavery in Porto Rico was
brought about. nor is it too much to
say that it was under the same pres
sure that the law providing for grad
ual emancipation in Cuba was pro-
mulgsted. Furthermore, if General
Sickles had then been able to secure
the desired cooperation at Washing-
ton, the Seem OF the Antilles" would
long ago have been under the Ameri-
can flag. General Sickles is man OF
fortune by inheritance, and knows
how to enjoy life in the fashionable
circles OF New York.

The Guinea Worm.

A doctor OF Quincy sends the fol,
lowing concerning a wonderful para
site known to the m eiicil fraternity
as the Guinea worm
"The famons Guinea worm is an
inhabitant OF the tropical regions OF
Asia and Africa, existing in ponds,
rivers and swsmps. 1t penstrates tho
skin of any humsn body without being
felt, and when once il finds loigmsn,
grows to an enormous length. Ths
body of the creature seldom exceed,
in diameter that OF large pin, and it
inhabits the flesh just beneath toe
skin. When full grown il is not less
than twelve feet in length, and in
order to accommodate itself must wind
several times around the legs or
body. Should the Guinea worm find
a homo under the human cuticle an !
grow to large size, there is danger OF
modification setting in when the
parasite bursts, as it is sure to do
sooner or later. In order to guard
against an accident OF this character
great care is exercised in extracting
the unwelcome intruder. The skin Is
opened near one end OF the creature, :,
and the body pulled out and wrapped
around small, round stick. lnis
stick is turned very slowly for days,
or even weeks, until the entire worm
has been extracted. "-St. Louis Re
public.
