Gutta-percha doesn't appeal to most
people as an article of diet, but there
is small an exceedingly small, sub
marine animalcule that positively de.
lights in it. This interesting creature
10 called the "gribble," and it is only
really happy while it is browsing on
the gutta-percha, that is used for the
sheathing Of submarine cables. / can't
say as whether a "gribble" has ever
got through to the wire itself. If so,
that particular member of the tribe
probably experienced the same kind
of sensation as would be felt by any
one having his hair electrically sing
ed by a barber Of less than ordinary
skill. Anyway, the layers Of subma-
rine cables are so afraid diet of gut
ia percha won't agree with gribbIes
that they are sheathing the wires with
brass. Possibly, though, their ankle
ty may not be so much for the Crib
ble's health as for the cables safety.
On the whole this does appear TO be
the more likely supposition.-St PauPa

The Captains Last Farewell.

The Captains Last Farewell.
1t is said that Capt. Taylor, of the
Colima, and his wife were an un-
usually devoted couple. Having no
children. they lived for each other.
The only thing that interfered with
their happiness was his going to sea.
Like most of the wives of the COM
pany's captains Mrs. Taylor seldom
went on the dock to see her husband
off; but before his last trip she felt
that singular dread that seems so
often to be premonition of disaster.
He treasured her and begged her not
to go to the ship, wondering at her
strange display of fear. At last he
suggested that she go out ON Point
Lobos and wave him farewell from
there. He said that he would watch
for her from the vessels deck and
would blow three whistles for her.
''That you win know to be my last
farewell" he gayly said. Mrs. Taylor
went to Point Lobos as arranged. She
saw the Colima steam out of the Col
den Gate, heard the three good-by
whistles and watched the vessel until
it disappeared. When the news Of the
wreck came the strange and puzzling
statement was made that just before
the vessel foundered the captain or
dered last three whistle signal given
as he stood upon the bridge. To some
who read Of it, it merely meant a
'good-by," to some cry for help. but
the captains wife knew that it meant
definitely ''last farewell and hoped
no more.-San Francisco Examiner.

The most interesting and import
ant civil case tried in the United
States court at Miami, just adjourn
ed, was that of J.W. and p. ]. Chubb
against r. A. Wade, wherein forci-
BILE entry and detainer of 400 acres
of the l160-acre lease owned by the
Chubbs was involved. The case
was tried before Judge Springer, a
jury having been waived. A judg-
ment was given for the plaintiffs
and writ of restitution was order
ed. Judgment was also given the
plaintiffs against Mr.. Wade and his
bondsmen for 500 aud costs, 500
being RENTED in lieu of the rents
for this year not being required of
the plaintiff. The evidence showed
that Wade took possession by pre-
tended authority of Henry Gordon
and wife, who accepted the lands as
allotments after the execution of the
lease 10 the Chubbs. The evidence
showed Wade to be an intruder and
that he and friends, among whom
was Amos Waller, resisted with re-
volvers and Winchesters several po-
,licemen who went to remove Wade
from the agency. N. N. Edmiston
represented the Chubbs and w. s.
Norton appeared for Wade.

Scientists who lave studied the situ-
alton claim that an oak tree of average
size with say seven hundred thousand
leaves. lift, into the air from the earth
about one hundred and twenty-three
tons of water in the five or six months
in which it displays its foliage. From
Leaves water is evaporated and formed
into the clouds which supply the rain.
Doesn't this make clear the necessity
for more interest in arboriculture in
this latitude and longitude, which is
now suffering from a drought of ut least
two years duration? In the current
year there is deficiency in the rain
fall amounting to more than ten inches.
Such prolonged drou-hts have never
been known since an official record of
the weather has been kept. The fact
Is the water lifters have been cut down
and destroyed in the Ohio valley until
the situation has become serious. The
apparent alternative now Is To either
