FRANK ID. LA MONT AGREES
TO BECOME A DEAF
MUTE FOR THREE
YEARS.
He Enacted the Part to Perfection
and Is Now Writing
Book Giving His
Experiences.

Many of our people will recollect
q deaf mute artist by the name of
Frank de la Mont who visited this
city in March of 1895, and remained
here for several weeks doing sketch
work.
Mr.. de la Mont is again in Pine
Bluff, having come down from Lit
tie Rock this morning; but he is no
longer a deaf mute, but speaks five
languages with great fluency.
In conversation with GRAPHIC
reporter this morning Mr. de la
Mont said that he and a number of
friends were in Louisville, KY, one
night discussing the lives led by
deaf mutes and one of his friends
made wager with him that he
could MT enact the part of a deaf
mute successfully for the period of
three years. The wager was ac-
eepted and on the following day Mr.
de la Mout left for Danvllle. ILL.,, in
which city he was to begin his life
as a deaf mute. Another condition
of the wager was that Mr., de la
Mont was to make his own living in
the character that be assumed and
all the money he was allowed to
start out with was SO cents.
The three years ended three
weeks ago while the artist was in
Little Rock and having won his
wager and passed through some
novel experiences, Mr.. de la Mont
assumed his proper character and
gave utterance to speech for the first
time in three years.
Mr.. de la Mont says that while
travelling through the country as a
deaf mute he met on au average of
200 people day and during the time
visited over GOO cities and towns.
His experiences have been novel
and he is now engaged in writing a
book which will give a history of his
life as deaf mute for the three
years.
During his visit to this city he
made many friends who will be de-
lighted to meet him again in his
proper character.
BY way of explaining why he had
deceived the public so long Mr.. de
la Mont said to a GRAPHIC reporter:
81 always felt a deep interest in
deaf mutes and I only had this aim
in view when the innocent ruse was
started: wanted TO see how this
class of unfortunates Jared at the
hands of the people throughout the
country generally, and also, was
under the impression that could
pursue my studies TO. a better adj
vantage. I have certainly had some
very wonderful and peculiar eXpe
riences. have heard people say
hard things about me, and then
again many have sympathized with
me in my 'afiic ton. The uncom-
plimentary things some said about
me were, in my opinion, spoken
merely in a TESTING way. 1t is simp-
lly habit some get into when in
the company with a person deprived
of speech and hearing.
Mr.. de la Mont is very interest
ing character, and to hear him re-
late some Incidents connected with
his life since he. started to play deaf
and dumb would make very spicy
and interesting reading. The ar list
is 80 years of age and was born in
Strasburg, Elsace, in the year 1864.
He came to America about ten years
ago.

A NEW LIFE RAFT.

An innovation in life saving appli-
ances for sea-going ships is the bridge
life craft. This raft, which costs
$225O, costing $1,000 each, weighing
with fittings thirty-fiye tons. The raft
would carry the same number of men
as the boats. One of these RATS fitted
to a vessel AZ feet beam is 81 feet long
and feet deep and forms the top of
the bridge, the RATS deck being the
deck of the bridge. The raft, which
is built of steel, carries 400 men, and
in addition to being divided into go
water-tight compartments, is provided
with air-tight lockers for water, pro-
visions, signals, etc. The nominal time
occupied in launching the raft is As
seconds, although in a recent test on
board an English war ship, it was
launched, with 200 men, somewhat un-
der that time. Unlike boats under
davits, this raft will not go down with
the ship, for if there is not time to
launch it, the movement of a pair of
levers allows it to simply and automa-
tically float off as the vessel founders,
and if she has a list on the raft
launches itself clear.

DAYLIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF
THE SEA.

In every clear water sunlight pene-
trates the seas to the depth of 1850
feet. These experiments were made in
the Mediterranean near Corsica, and
eighteen miles from land, the result
being obtained by means of photo
graphic plates. The depth to which
daylight penetrates depends, of course,
on the transparency of the water; the
Mediterranean being famed for the
clearness OF its water, admits light to
a greater depth than is the case where
the water is less transparent. Uusual-
~ the light of the sun $50 feet below
the surface of the ocean is no more
than that of the moon, while at the
depth of 800 feet it is scarcely equal
to the glimmer of twilight, and at 5000
feet in many parts of the ocean there is
perpetual darkness. Near Mandora, in
the Indian ocean, the spotted corals
are plainly visible under $50 feet of
water The Caribbean sea is of cry
stalline clearness, objects being dis
cernable on the bottom at very great
depth.

closure? And in what way would the
country benefit by it?
The plain, common sense proposition
is that the Governmet should endeavor
to make the best of a bad bargain
give the present owners of the roads
time to make the payments which it has
been shown are beyond their power to
make at present, and thus realize some
thing out of what would otherwise be
a total loss.
When asked to formulate some plan
by which the Government can be pro-
tected, those who clamor lOudeSt for
foreclosure and shout that the railroad
ought to be forced to pay its debts are
utterly unable to advance any feasible
proposition The stockholders have
been held by the highest courts not to
be responsible and there is absolutely
no way except through refunding by
which the Government can obtain a
dollar of the dCDt, since foreclosure
means the loss of the entire amount.
This is plain common sense, as op-
posed to L.1..las3s ism and the desire to
ruin those who have immeasurably ben
Gifted this coast.
1t is also the unpopular side, yet
when the whole matter is considered
from a calm business standpoin[ and in
the light of cold fact, no other fair con-
clusiOn can be reached.

JURORS FEES.

Last night an unpleasant rumo,
reached the "Record-Union' connecting
the name Of Deputy County Clerk L.

ton in jurors fees that reflects some
what on him, though the sum involved
is small.
Mr.. Landsborough is a gentleman
who has always stood high as a citizen
and public official, and was recently
for the second time. elected to represent
the country district in the Assembly

the nature of the transaction may be
explained by him in a way that will be
satisfactory.
