Marshall P. Wilder Is never chary of
his stories, says New York exchange.
Either they are inexhaustible or he
doesn't fear that they will lose their
edge by private repetition. Here is
late one: "Two Yankee sailors strolled
into q show in Guatemala, where a
prestidigitateur was entertaining the
audience. A parrot was perched ON the
back of the bench where they sat.
After every surprising feat one sailor
would turn. to the other with the re-
mark: That was pretty good! won
der what will come next?' That was
repeated till It made the parrot tired.
Presently one of them threw down a
burning match with which he had
lighted his pipe. 1t fell through q
crack in the floor and into powder
magazine, Biffl went the whole build
ing, people and ALL, and nothing was
left but a hole in the ground and the
parrot, which was uninjured though
badly shaken up. The bird pulled
itself together, Strengthened out its
feathers, tapped its way to heap Of
ruins and croaked; That was pretty
good! / wonder what will come next?'"

IDroa1is 90 the Sea Causing Alarm to Prop
erty Owners at Orient Point.
Long Island, which looks on the map
like a big fish about to swallow New
York city. is apparently being slowly
swallowed BY the ocean. Portions of its
shores have disappeared beneath the
waves, and now the northern fork Of its
huge tail is vanishing About two miles
of Orient point, that formed sandy
beach two years ago, is now under 10
feet of water. The lighthouse ON the
point was six rods from the sea few
years ago. 1t has since been toppled over
by the sea, and only small part OF the
surrounding beach is visible.
The bluffs on both the sound and the
bay side of Orient point have been sink
ing at the rate Of about 10 or IL feet a
year. The same state of affairs is true
of Montauk point, but there the bluffs
int up so abruptly and SO high above
the sea that the rising of the water is
not so noticeable. A rise Of foot or
two ON the low shores near Peconic bay
will submerge acres of land. Much OF
the threatened land ON Orient point
forms fertile farms, and the steady adj
vance of the shore line is causing no
small concern 10 the owners The water
has in several places found its way
across low spot ON the point from the
sound to the bay. The result will be to
ultimately divide the peninsula into
series of small islands, similar to Plum,
Little Gull and Great Gull islands, all
of which were doubtless once part Of
the mainland and were cut off by the
rise of the sea. The village of Orient is
situated in a particularly narrow and
low portion of the peninsula, and tho
next serious inroad Of the ocean will
probably occur there. Ia that case 1000
acres of land and a village of ] 900 peo-
pie will have 10 be abandoned. New
