Eccentricities In Palaces.

The King of Siam, who, according to
late reports. has had a palace construct
ed which he can submerge in the sea at
will and so live under water whenever
he chooses, is not the only monarch who
has INDUCED in eccentricities of this
sort.
For instance, history has preserved
the memory of the ice palace built by
the Russian Empress Anne, who pun
ished several of her dainty courtiers by
compelling them to pass the night in
this great chamber of state, where they
were almost frozen to death.
The Gar Paul, ancestor Of the present
Emperor of Russia, constructed q room
formed entirely of huge mirrors, where
he spent hours walking to and FROM full

They Ate the Old Man and Little Girl and
Had q Taste of Each Of the Sons.
As an instance of strange condolences,
there is living neal this place q family
whose history would seem to exceed the
bounds of credibility. Seven years ago
the father, old Daddy Dick, as he was
called, sat down on the banks Of the
Caloosahatchee river and is supposed to
have fallen asleep. AT any rate, only his
hat and rod were found on the bank that
night, while a heap of clothes and crushed
bones under a floating log told of his
death by IN alligator. He left two sons
and a little girl 3 years old.
One day this child wandered down to
the river, and her mother arrived just in
time to see her drawn under the water
by the long, black snout of an alligator.
Last year Dick, the namesake of his IA
Their and q man of 30, also went fish
ing in the river, and the day being warm
closed his eyes for a nap, to be awakened
by his leg disappearing down the throat
of one of these reptiles. He would have
been pulled off his log, but cast his arms
about a tree near by and held on, but he
had to sacrifice his leg. which the gator
bit off just above the knee. 1t was the
right one.
The end of the singular history of this
family occurred last week. The other
brother, Lem, was padding down the
river in a dugout when his clumsy craft
was upset by an enormous alligator. A
race then began for the shore between
the man and the reptile, but just as Len
gained the bank and was pulling himself
up to safety the alligator seized him by
the right leg and drew him back. I'll,
called loudly for help, and his brothel
came running out of their cabin with
shotgun, and without waiting to TAX

ELECTIONS IN CORSICA.

Of Much Account.

xhe Loaa Of q Life or Two Apparently N0e
Of Much Account.
The elections for the council general
were going on all owe the island OF Cor
sica. The canton OF Soccia comprises
several villages, among others Gua3no,
noted for its famous mineral springs
and also for the turbulence of its people.
The elections took place in each village,
and on the morrow the presidents OF the
several bureaus were to meet at Soccia
for the formal declaration of the poll.
In consequence of certain disorders that
had already occurred, the mayor OF Soc
cia issued an edict to the effect that none
of the inhabitants Of Guagno vas to en-
ter the village that day.
The inhabitants of Guagno chose to
ignore this order, and 90 of them, all
armed, and all angry that their candi-
date had been defeated, marched upon
Soccia, headed by their mayor. Two
gendarmes-not ~armed-had been placed
at the entrance of the village and warned
the advancing troops that they were to
come no farther. The mayor of Guagno
cried ''Fire!" There was a general vol
ley from his followers, and the two gen.
darmes fell dead. 'They both bore ex-
cellent characters. One of them had been
"a years in the service, had been proposed
for the military medal and leaves a wife
and three children"
Such was the first account in thedaily
paper of Bastia. 1t occupied about seven
inches of one column. The next day the
editor had had time to reflect Tor he, too,
may possibly have had a significant
warning), for in an article three inches
long the account was somewhatquali
fed, and there was this important emen
dation, 'It seems we were not correct il
stating that it was the mayor of Guagnc
who gave the order to fire upon the gen
darmes."
The third day there were just TIVE
lines. I'm consequence of the unfortu
nate affair at Soccia it is probable tina
the mayor of Guagno will send in hi
resignation" That was all. / took il
the newspaper regularly for a week, fo
I was curious to see how the affair would
end, but there was nothing more-ap
parently 10 inquiry, no prosecution o
the offenders. -Contemporary Review.

A notable engineering feat was &C
complished recently in the completion OF
the boring of the Busk-Ivanhoe railway
tunnel under the continental divide of
the Rocky mountains at Hagerman pass.
Colorado. The tunnel is almost two miles
l~ong-9,393 feet-and is through solid
gray granite. 1t took 3 years and 20
days, of 20 hours work each day, to bore
the big hole. 1t is 10000 feet above sea
level through the top ridge of the CONT
nent. The water draining from the one
side of the mountain under which it is
driven runs to the Atlantic ocean. and
from the other to the Pacific. Its con-
struction has cost 81 ,000, 900 and 20 hu.

line of the Colorado Midland railway,

A News item sent out from Washing
ton under date OF the Goth. says that the
most careful search of the Congressional

ever reached either branch OF the Fifty
third Congress since it first assembled
last August. On the other hand thous'
ands of petitions have been presented
demonstrating against it's passage ano
against particular features OF the meas
