Luminous Sea Crab.

One of the marine curiOSlties recently
fshed from the bottom of the Indian
ocean by a dredging vessel in the en-
ploy of the Calcutta Society of Natural
History was mammoth sea crab which
continually emitted a bright white
light similar to that seen in the spas
modic flashes of phosphorescent lumin-
osity, llindled by our common freflies.
The Oddity was captured in daytime
and placed i'll a large tank. nothing
peculiar except its immense size being
noticeable in the broad glare of the
tropical sun. At night, however, when
all was in pitchy darkness, the crab sur
prised the naturalists by lighting up
the tank so that all the other sea crea-
lures, great and small, occupying the
same tank could be plainly seen. When
the luminous cruStacean was prOdded
with pole he emitted flashes of light

Seventy-two million pounds of water
melons is what the railroad and fruit
men estimate will be raised in Florida
this year. This is equivalent to 5000,
600 melons. which, if placed end to end,
would make chain of watermelons
$50 miles long, or further than from
Jacksonville to the city of Washington.
What a picture to cause the astonished
smile on the face of the average negro
to broaden into a laugh of great glad
ness. To carry these melons to market
train of 5000 cars would be neces-
sary, and this train would be nearly
10 miles long. But our friend of the
African persuasion need not change
his glad smile into look of lugubrious
meditation. All these melons are not
going to leave Florida. Some are go-
ing to stay right with us, and this sum-
mer kodak fend will find a happy
snapshot on the shady side of many a,
grapevine fence in the shape of two
empty melon rinds, a sleeping negro,
with rim of flies dancing a war dance
around his yawning mouth. Rail-
road men say that this years crop will
be three times larger in Florida than
that of last year, and the prospects are
brighter for better prices, as there will
be only half melon crop in Georgia
to compete with.-Florida Times.

Politics for the time were forgotten.
This was the day to which he had
looked forward for so long, when he,
was to have been busted in decidingl
doubtful voters, and breathing activ-
ity into the ranks of his cause. And lo!s
the day had come and found his
houghts elsewhere. For all such things,
are, at the best, of fieeting interest, and
do rot stir men otherwise than senti-
mentally; but the old kindly love of
tield-sports, the joy in the smell of the
earth and the living air, lie very close
to mans heart. So this apostate, as he
cleaned his turnip rows, was filled with
the excitement of the sport, and had
no thoughts above the memory of pasa
exploits and the anticipation of greate9
to come.
Midday came, and with it his release.

go to the town, vote, and be back in two

In discussing new words and the
fact that even well-educated persons are
always coming upon doubtful terIns,
there is a story of Col. Colt, of revolver
fame, who refused to be daunted even
by word which did not exist. The
colonel was sitting on the veranda of a
Saratoga hotel narrating some of his
experiences in Turkey when he went
there to place a contract. As he talked,
q pompous person, a judge from some
remote interior region, walked by the
group. occasionally stopping for a mo
ment and then passing on. Suddenly he
paused, with the serious purpose of
speaking. and asked in solemn. slow
and measured tones: docs the sultan
CT Turkey, sir, abatiate himself in his
intercourse with distinguished foreign
ers?" AS quickly as if abatiate" were
as familiar to him as the word ere
volver," Col. Colt replied: 81 cannot say
of my personal knowledge. He may
have that reputation" Then as the
Judge, apparently satisfied, passed on
out of earshot, the colonel turned to
the group and asked: What in time
did he mean?' Every body laughed, but
nobody knew.-OutlOOk

dence in the sitting member. Such ira
ditions, he felt, were not to be lightly
iespised; things might change, empires
might wax and wane, but his obligation
continued; a sort of perverted nOblesse
cblige was the farmers watchword in
life; and, by dint of much energy and
had language, he lived up to it.
AS fate would have it, the Clachlands
plowman was a radical of radicals. He
had imbibed his opinions early in life
from a speaker on the green of March
thorn, and ever since, by the help of a
weekly penny paper and an odd volume
of Gladstone's speech, had continued
his education. Such opinions in a con-
servative country side carry with them
reputation for either abnormal clever
ness or abnormal folly. The fact that
he was a keen fisher. a famed singer of
songs, and the best judge of horses in
the place, caused the verdict of his
neighbors to incline to the former. and
he passed for something of an oracle
among his fellows. The blacksmith,
who was the critic of the neighborhOod,
summed up his character in a few
words: Him" said he in a tone of min
gled dislike and admiration, him! He
would sweer white was black the morn,
and dod! he would prove it tae."
1t so happened in the early summer,
when the land was green, and the trout
FLASHED in the river, that her majesty S
government saw fit to appeal to an in
1elligent country. Among a people
whose politics fight hard with their re-
1igion for monopoly of their interests,
feeling ran high and brotherly kindness
departed. Houses were divided against
themselves. Men formerly of no con-
sideration found themselves suddenly
important, and discovered that their
intellects and conscience, which they
had hitherto valued at little, were
things of serious interest to their bet
ters. The lurid light of publicity was
shed upon the lives of the rival canGi
dates; men formerly accounted worthy
and respectable were proved no better
than whited sepulchers, and each man
was filled with morbid concern for his
fellows character and beliefs.
The farmer of Clachlands called a
meeting of his laborers in the great
dusty barn, which had been the scene
of many similar gatherings. His speech
on the occasion was vigorous and to the
point: 'Ye are a my men, he said.
