Seventeen years earlier another

only one hundred and fifty tons bur.

had been driven by bad weather
from the western entrance of

year 1919. rediscovered the islands
while on voyage from Montevideo to
Valparaiso.
The Dutch navigator De Bonneville
was credited with having, even before
Gerritz, discovered Terra Australis
to the south of Africa, but we know
from Pigafetta, the biographer of
Magellan, that the phrase Antarctic
pole" was a very loose one, and was
taken to mean the southern hemi-
sphere. which is a vastly different mat
ter. Moreover, De Bonneville brought
home to France with him the son of
the sovereign of his new-found land,
which is of itself sufficient to prove
that he did not penetrate far south.

dusky captive set the hearts of his
countrymen beating with wild hopes

ATTACKED BY BULLS.
A. Train Assailed by Herd on the Portu-
Guese Frontier.

Train Assaulted by Herd on the Portu-
Guese Frontier.
A report has been received in Paris
of an extraordinary encounter between
herd of bulls and railway train on
the Spanish and Portuguese frontier.
The incident occurred between Moravel
and Canaveral, close to the Portuguese
frontier. The train was traversing d
long plain, similar to hundreds of
others which are used as grazing land
in Spain, when the driver noticed a
number of bulls on the track some dis
lance ahead. He did not slacxen speed,
but blew the whistle repeatedly, with
the result that the herd cleared out of
the way, with the exception of one,
which suddenly lowered it's head and
with fierce below. made straight for
the engine. The result was disastrous
for the bull. The animal was com.
pletely cut to pieces, and masses
of quivering flesh chung to the
wheel and machinery, SO much
SO that further progress was inn
possible, until the engine had been
cleaned. The officials had decided to
do SO, when, without a moments warn
ing, the remainder of the herd, in
furiated probably by the sight OF
blood, dashed down upon them, There
was precipitated rush for the nearest
compartments. and the last man had
scarcely scrambled in when the bulls
attacked the carriages and renewed the
assault again and again, to the con-
sternation of the passengers. The
gendarme in charge of the train col
lected, as opportunity offered, a heap
of stones, and energetically pelted the
bulls, besides firing number of shots.
For two hours the battle ragged, and
at last. as night came on, the bulls
seemed to have had enough of it, and
took themselves off, to the immense
relief of the passengers But this was
not the end of their adventures. for
on arriving at Valencia de Alcantara
the passengers discovered that the
connecting Portuguese train had left,
and they were obliged to put up for
the night as best they could in the
little frontier town. - Westminster

Old MAn-O'-Warsn1an Tells Why Americana
Will Not Become Marines.
Since the formation of the new iron.
clad navy, there have been many com
plants from the crews of the harsh
treatment by the officers. To an old
man-o' -warsman the nature of the com
plants indicate the character of the
crew, but John L. Mutter thus says on
| this point.
ION the 5th of last March," he SAYS,
II finished a six-year term of service
in the United States navy-all on iron
| clads-and, although am poor man,
would not try it another year for
two hundred dollars month. be-
lieve that the inmate of a well-con.
| Quoted jail ashore has a better berth.
when one of our ironclads is load
ed for sea she goes plumb down into
the water, and in head sea does not
raise an inch, but wallops ahead like a
mad bull. The decks are swept by a
torrent from stem to stern, and except
the men at the wheel and 1ookouts,
every body goes below, matches are put
on, electric lights glare out, and we
have artificial ventilation that you can
work to pass away the time and you
get weary of life.
This is the cause of desertion. Men
will risk their lives to quit the ship,
leaving two years pay behind. There
is no remedy for this. In my opinion,
nothing that the government can do
will ever make their big hulls fit for
human beings to live in, and this is
the prime cause of the complaints
made by the crew. The grub is first
rate.
you have a hundred privileges
that were undreamed of in the old
service, and if you are ill-treated it is
generally because you deserve it. But
the fact is, men get irritable under
the constant drill and horrible monot-
ony, and break the rules to get into
trouble for a change.
Moreover, the officers, especially
the younger ones, are fdgety and
restless. I believe the constant cram
ming they undergo makes them irrita-
BILE, and they take it out of the men
by hazing and meddling in matters
that oId-timers would take care not to
see.
''As for the crews themselves, they
naturally get worse every year. A
young American of good sense and
character can see no inducement in a
service that gives him one-tifth the pay
he can get ashore. He can learn as
much seamanship on the Erie canal
and be his own master.

new ships no one can sneak with GER
tainty, as they have not been tried.

lieve that smaller, lighter vessels will
eventually take the place of these big
rolling tanks. One thing is very GER

af1oat can not do away with the neces-
sity for having good crews. "--Phila-
