A Cable Story.

A somewhat extraordinary story.
which may or may not be reliable, has
been received from an oflcer on board
the cable ship John Pender, now on
the coast of West Africa. The author
ity, however. Is good. and 1t is insisted
that the yarn is perfectly true. The
final splice in a deep water repair was
being made. The third officer was TAX

paratus usually used. the captain look
ing on, Quartermaster at the break,
and the man who tells the story stand

this sounding apparatus ffty-six-
pound shot is used; attached to 1t Is
piano wire. and by means Of patent
hook the shot Is detached ON striking
the bottom. A Thermometer Is usually
attached to the wire. close to the shot.
to ascertain. for electrical purposes. the
temperature Of the water at the bottom.
While sounding the shot struck the
bottom at $50 fathoms (as was sup

fathoms Of wire the wire was seen to

and then suddenly snapped. It Is u.s.

idea Is quite in consonance with what

instance. West Indian native nshermen.
who very often fish over moderately
shallow coral reefs at some distance
from the shore. will carry in their
canoes gourds. pieces Of wood or cocoa

near the land. but when the great
ocean shark shows his fin in the neigh

OF the articles named to distract the at
tention Of the fish. they paddle for
shore with all speed. Whatever object.

swallowed by the shark.

A rrc. Turned to Iron,

A remarkable discovery. as narrated
by Prof. Carter to the Academy Of
Sciences of Philadelphia was made
lately near Three Tans. Montgomery
county. Pa. In sandstone quarry at
that place an iron tree has been found
imbedded in the rock ten feet below
the surface. The tree is about eighteen
feet long and eighteen inches in
diameter. and has been completely
turned to iron. or rather to the iron
ore known as brown hematite; and
Prof. Carter accounts for the phenom-
enon by the fact that the shales and
the sandstones in that neighborhood
are covered with red oxide Of iron. and
sometimes with brown hematite. II is
presumed that the iron ore was reduced
by organic matter. and that II was
made soluble in water containing car
bonic acid gas: then, as the water hold
ing the iron in solution came in con-
tact with the tree the iron was precipi-
tated on the latter. and there was an
interchange of vegetable and mineral
matter. so that the rocks we're relieved
of their coloring and the tree took
IL up.

ADAMS HEIGHT.

Figures Seem to Show That Il was
Hti. W.. sixty-Fiss Feet
At various times within the last few
years assertions have been made by
many thinkers that Adam and the ante
diluvian people were OF extraordinary
height. but many other thinkers (whc
have never thought much about. the
matter) have laughed at the assertion
and cried "bosh." says an exchange.
I, too, am OF the opinion that there was
something more about Adam that was
extraordinary besides the number OF
his years. To prove tho same by n
course of mathematical reasoning we
will take Noah. whose life was twenty
years longer than Adams and who is
quite as we'll known for his generosity
to the human and animal races. Ac-
cording to Genesis Noah lived $50 years
and then died. 1t is a well-defned
rule In nature that animals. bipeds and
quadrupeds live about three and one
half times the number OF years required
for their individual maturity. Thus
man in this century natures in 20 and
dies at the age Of 20 years. Dividing
the age OF Noah by three and one-half.
we find that he reached his maturity
In about go years. The average man
of to-day at maturity measures about
five feet and weighs about 125 pounds.
Five feet in twenty years is equivalent
to three inches in one year. Applying
the same rule to Noah's maturing
years. we find that at his maturity he
was sixty-seven feet tall and weighed
1876 pounds. 1t stands to reason that
II Noah was so great in body that the
originator of the race must have been
equally as large.

Helping the Wind,

An Italian sea captain says that he
had proved by experience that a shir
goes faster when her sails are per
foratcd with number OF holes thar
when they are quite sound. His theor,
is that the force of the wind canno
fairly take effect on an inflated sail
because Of the cushion of immovalyl,
air that fills up the hollow. To pre-
vent this cushion collecting he bored
number of holes in the sail, whicl
let part Of the wind blow right through
It and allowed the remainder to strik,
