 She shook two or three of them by the paws as she passed; but no sooner had she come within hearing than she opened upon me torrent of abuse for disturbing the sacred animals in their retirement. She motioned me, with almost frantic gestures, to depart quickly, and her tongue never ceased till was quite out of hearing.

A Frightful But Laughabie Experience on

the Red Sea.
 In Werner Von Siemens' "Perso nal Recollections" the famous electrician narrates Red sea adventure which might have turned out tragically. He was laying a cable and one night was in his test-room supervising some part of the work, when suddenly he heard a loud shouting overhead and violent running to and fro
 The man at the ships head, intrust- ed with the continuous soundings, had fallen overheard. As the whole deck was well lighted with gas, many of the people there could see him In the water, and in answer to his lusty cries for help they threw him life-belts, which were kept everywhere on board.
 The vessel was stopped and boats put out, which disappeared for an un- comfortably long time in the darkness. At last they returned with shouts of triumph.
 The man had kept himself afioat by swimming, and had been lucky enough not to be seized by any of the nu- .merous sharks which disport them selves in the Red sea, and are said to have special relish for white people, while they rarely molest black. He was trembling violently when brought on board, and had his knife still open in his hand.
 On being questinoed as to his expe- lrience he said that he had been sur- rounded by sharks, but happily had been able to draw his knife and de- fend himself until the boats arrived
 "We were all shivering at his vivid i Subscription of his adventure" says Von Siemens. ''nlAa tl,A hnatswain stornAd
