/. The customs at the Court Of Mon
tengro seem very primitive. judging
from an incident at a recent dinner
party. The Prince and. his guests
were sitting i'd the dining hall, when
the servants entered, bringing In an
enormous boar, roasted whole, which
they placed upon the table. The
Prince and his guests drew near, and,
at sign from His Highness, asyoung
officer drew his sword, and with one
stroke cut through the hog. through
the tablecloth and deep into the table.
Inside the boar was a turkey, and in
side the turkey a snipe, which had
been shot by the Prince, and 1t Is said
to have acquired a most delicate Ia
vor from Its manner of cooking.

The strange messengers have brought
their news slowly. Five years ago, ac-
cording to the computations of the Hy-
geographic Office Of the Navy Depart
ment, the earthquake took place. Since
that time the southern sea has been
filed with great bergs. slowly drifting
northward into navigable waters, until
at last their size and numbers have
proved beyond doubt that their origin
can be found only in some disturbance
of the bed upon which the antarctic ice
cap rests. The information has just
been given out in the official statement
prepared by the photographic Office
for the use. Of those who go down to
the sea in ships.
This is the third and greatest Of the
recorded upheavals Of the ice regions
about the south pole. The first took
place in 1882, the second in 1854, and
the recent one, 1t Is believed, in 1891.
1t has covered the southern sea with
bergs greater than the city Of Chicago
and rendered navigation to the far
south unsafe for years to come, for the
bergs melt slowly. Large masses OF
ice have been met with before by YES
sells In the South Atlantic, but never
In such great numbers.
Capt. Doan of the American ship
Francis in February, 1893, when the
number of bergs first began to increase
noticeably, passed close to six icebergs,
each several miles in length, and from
800 to 400 feet high, within twenty-four
hours, and after night Of peril from
floating ice found himself at daybreak
confronted by an immense barrier of
ice stretching as far as he could see
from aloft. This was in latitude 81
degrees l minute south, longitude 40
degrees 10 minutes west
In December of the same year the
British bark Beechwood met with a
monster berg in latitude AZ degrees Z
minutes south, longitude Al degrees A
minutes west. Officers of the Beech
wood estimated that the mass of ice
was twenty miles long and between 300
and 400 feet high. During the same
month the captain of the Drumcraig
sighted a berg twenty-five or thirty
miles long and 300 feet high in latitude
40 degrees "a minutes south, longitude
45 degrees 53 minutes west.
The average size Of the bergs broken
off by the recent earthquake is a thing
hard to determine, for they are reported
as varying greatly. The average, how
ever, is greater than in the previous
cases of 1882 and 1854. The immense
size of the masses of ice dislodged by
the shock will be appreciated when II
Is remembered that only about one
ninth OF the berg appears above the
surface of the water.
The occurrence Of an earthquake
alone is sufficient to account for ice

ANOTHER WELL
ACCIDENT.
One Man Killed and Another's
Recovery is Doubtful.

Copeville, Collin Co., Sept.
I2.-On yesterday evening,
between S and 8 o'clock, a
sad accident occurred about
one-half mile west of this
place. While Henry Morgan
and G.. F. Hornbuckle and a
Mr.. Self were blasting in a
well on Morgan's farm they
put in a blast which went off.
Hornbuckle and Self let Nor
gan down in the well to fill up
the bucket with dirt. 1t is sup
posed that he went down too
soon and was overcome by
the poisonous damp caused
from the explosion. He told
them to draw him out. They
succeeded in getting him to
the top, when he let all hold
loose, as the damp had entirel !
overcome him by that time,
and fell to the bottom, about
twelve or fifteen feet breaking
his neck. Mr.. Hornbuckle
was let down after Morgan.
HE was also overcome by the
damp, became speechless and
it was some time before Self
could get sufficient help to
draw them out. Morgan was
taken out dead and Horn
buckle SO nearly dead that hi;
recovery was thought doubt
full, but at this writing he IS
thought to be improving.
