BIRDS THAT PERCH ON WAVES.
some of Their Ocean JourneyinEs Describe
Il.

some of Their Ocean Journeyings Described
by Edwin Arnold.
Sir Edwin Arnold, in an account OF
his voyage to America, which appears
in tho London Daily Telegraph, says:
Every day we see playing round the
ship and skimming up and down tho
wave holows companies of lovely little
terms and sea swallows, the latter no
larger than thrushes These fearless
people of the waste have not by any
means followed us from the land, liv-
ing. as guls often will, on the waste
thrown fron, the vessel.
"They are vague and casual roamers
of tho ocean, which, spying the great
steamship from afar, have sailed close
up, to see If We are rock or an island,
and will then skip away again on their
own free and boundless business.
Yonder tiny bird, with purple and
green plumage, his little breast and
mock laced with silver. is distant 1000
miles at this moment from a drop of
fresh water, and yet cares no more for
that fact than did the Irish squire who
lived II miles from u lemon.
If his wings ever grow weary, 1t is
but to settle on the bosom OF great
billow and suffer il for time to rock
anu Toll ulm hinlu tuo uihbiuk hpibd-
rift, tho milky, flying foam and the
broken sea lace which forms and gleams
and disappears again upon the dark
slopes. When he pleases, a stroke of
tho small red foot and boat of tho
wonderful wing launch him off the
iaggod edge of his billow, and he fits
past us at 100 knots an hour, laughingt
steam and canvas to scorn, and steer
ing for some nameless crag in Labra-i
dor or Fundy, or bound, it may be. I
homeward for some island or marsh of
the far away Irish coast.
'Marvelously expresses of power az
is our untiring engine, which all day
and night throbs and pants and pulses
in noisy rhythm under the deck, what
clumsy, imperfect affair it is COM
pared to tho dainty pumes and delicate
muscles which will carry that pretty,
fearless sea swallow back to his roost ~

Must be Delayed for Time.
The River and lIarbor bill has passed
both houses of Congress. The Della
ware river appropriation is $500, 600,
no part of which may be expended
upon the construction of the Liston
Point dixie until board of three engi
neerH shall consider and report to the
Secretary of War by the first Monday
in December. Tho Secretary is au-
thorizod to carry out the recommenda.
tions OF the boarl. The bill also pro-
vides that no money heretofore appro-
priaIed shall be expended on the Liston
Point work until the board OF engineers
has reported. Tho Secretary of War is
authorized to adjust lusses that may
tho bill. and to pay the same out OF
tho appropriations upon which the con-
tracts were made.
One effect of the bill will be to stop
the work Of the Delaware Construc.
tion Co., ON Liston Point dixie The
company contracted last November to
do the work, Tho amount of the con
tract ls Sl20, 600 and tho length Of dixie

Tho future Of tho work will depend
upon the report Of the board Of engi-
neers, which il favorable to tho build
ing Of the dixie, will allow tho continua-
tion of the contract. Should tho con
tract be annulled, however, the Della
ware Construction Co. will have IL
claim for breach Of contract. Mean
while the stoppaGe of the work, even
If temporary, may itself entail loss

Tho people in the lunch room OF the

ing sceno yesterday by ragged urchin
and whole hoarted citizen from the
Weat, who was looking after him, says
tho New York Tribune. The diners
learned from tho Westerner's converHa-
tion that he had arrived in Jersey City
and the little fellow had carried his
grip sack. The man had been drink
ing and the little follow was 10 badly
scared that he hardly knew what to do.
He he'd coniidod to the Westerner that
he was hungry, and tho man had told
him to como in and get something TO
cat. He followed his bonefactor inside
and timidly crawlod up on one of the
high stools. The man from tho West
stood. up at the bar and drank frequent
'potationa, making comments upon tho
boys appetite us he alto his meal.
The little follow looked at the we'll
dressed man aud then glanced ut his
own ragged jacket. lie ierkod his hat
off awkwartlly and tried to put 1t in
his pocket. Failing in this he finally
compromised, after much fumbling, by
tucking il away somewhere within the
mysterious confines of his ragged shirt.
Then he looked at his grimy hands and
showed them deep into his pocket. He
watched with owl-like gravity the
white aproned attendant place the glis-
tening plates and shining knife and
fork in front OF him. Finally bowl
of steaming soup was placed in front
of him, and the sight of il thawed his
reserve. lIo made an onslaught that
made it disappear rapidly. All the
time tho big man chucklod in high
glee and kept saying:
GO on, little chap; you eat all yer
want. likes to geo youngster like
ye eat all he wants. -
The urchin grinnod. Then plate of
chops was placed in front of him. Ilo
grabbed one by tho bone and in the
twinkling of an eye had gulped down
| all tho meat on il. The other went
tho same way. When he had finished
he wiped his hands on his trousers,
rubbed the back of his hand across his
mouth and fished the butt of a cigar
from the pocket of his coat. He gravely
watched his benefactor take the check
and pay it. When he saw tho amount
no said, disgustedly:
Saysyousc," pointing to the cashier,
"any mug kin git feed like dat down
on West street fer ID cents. F."
Then ho fished n match out of another
pocket, and, taking prollerod dime
from the Western man, said nom
chalantly;
"T'ank ye, boss. Dat was bang up
feed-even If it did cost PUNK.

SUN VAT SEN IN TROUBLE.
Kidnapped and Detained at the Chin
csc Embassy.

London, Oct. ga sensation was
created this afternoon by the publication
in the Globe Of a story that detectives,
at the instance of the foreign Office
have been watching the Chinese embas-
sy here for some days past in conse-
quence Of two Chinese officials having
seized and kidnapped a Chinese ply
sician named sur Vat Sen. as he was
passing the Chinese embassy on Octo-
Der II, the kidnapped mar having been
detained in the embassy ever since. In
explanation Of this act the Globe says
that in November, 1895, a conspiracy
was formed TO depose the Tartar dy-
nasty in China. beginning with the seiz-
Gre OF the viceroy at Canton. The ex-
astence of the conspiracy leaked out
and the authorities seized and beheaded
fifteen of the leaders, but the others
managed to make their escape, among
them, Sun Vat Sen, who went to Ameri-
"a and finally came to England, and
has since been in London. According
to the Globe friends of the kidnapped
mar say that a ship has already been
chartered by the Chinese embassy TO
take him back to China. The British
authorities are powerless to relieve the
mar from the embassy, as the law does
not permit the embassy or legation of
a foreign country to be invaded.
