THE SEA SERPENT AGAIN.
This Time He Runs Into a Fishing Steam
 boat and Breaks the Paddle Wheel


 New York, Aug. 16.-Captain Burns of the fishing steamboat Montauk ran into City Island this morning and told the latest sea serpent story. He said that while the Montauk was oh a cruise yesterday afternoon bound west, and when about three miles east of Eaton's Neck, the boat ran into a big sea ser- pent or some extraordinary big fish. Captain Burns said that the force of the collision broke the 1ange from the paddle wheel. He said the head of the monster was the shape of that of a hog and that it had large eyes When it turned over in the water he noticed that it had small legs. Captain Burns estimated this latest sea monster to be nearly 100 feet in length. He said 1t was surely ninety feet long. Captain Burns said that his crew were all sober men, and that they would all confirm his statement.

CHRISTMAS.
Facts Which Show That This Eoliday Is
ChrIst's lsirthday.

Chrlst's birthday.
Is to-day the veritable anniversary of
the birth of Jesus of Nazareth? 1t is
a question often asked, but never quite
satisfactorily answered. Reverent pre-
disposition can always find sufficient
evidence to answer yes. while it is to be
noted that the question of itself inn
plies a degree of religious skepticism.
Men have even stood in pulpits with |
little enough to do to devote an hours
oratory to the disproof ofit. tits quite
as certain that Jesus was born on the
25th of December as that Augustus,
the emperor under whom he was born,
was born in the siNty-third year before
him. OF that Tiberius, the emperor
under whom he died, came into the
world forty-two years, one month and
nine days before him. That is to say, it
is the decent habit Of the world to ac
cept what testimony, tradition and his
tory have to offer concerning the birth
days Of the great and herewith be con-
tent.
1t is certain that as early as the year
$50 the date we now celebrate was uni
versally recognized among Christians
without a question as their Saviours
natal day. That fact alone is all-suf-
ticient for succeeding generations. If
all records and illusions to the date OF
the birth of George Washington were
to be blottcd from all American writ
incs earlier than 1900 it would be suf-
1icicnt for postcrity that at the begin
4 I, ;Ath
of February was universally recognized.
and that the day was observed as legal
holiday. This is the best foundation
we have for the authenticity of Decem-
Der 25 as the birthday of Jesus.
In the year 40 St. Justin Martyr, tn"
first great Christian apologist, said that
the best record eNtant Of the birthday
of Christ was to be found in the archives
at Rome. Addressing the emperor and
Roman senate he said: "rhere is a GER
tain village in the land of Judea, dis
tant thirty-tive stadia from Jerusalem,
in which Christ Jesus was born, as ye
can learn from the enrollments COM
pleted under Cyrenius, your first pro-
curator in Jerusalem" In the year 200
Tertullian said the same thing: eli
nally, concerning the census enrolment
of Augustus, which the Roman archives
preserve as faithful witness of the
Lords nativity" Any man in the nine,
teenth century who wants more eN'
plict proof of a matter that is not OF
great vital moment anyway must have

the rest of the world can have no pos

And grabbing the tree brought it down On his bead
With toy-breaking, ruinous smash.
