The Genuine Article.

A veritable sea serpent was caught off
Juneau, Alaska, on June 2, in GO fathoms
of water, by two men who were fishing
for halibut. 1t was caught on chain
shark hook, after it had bitten off three
ordinary lines. 1t is described by the
News as six feet long, body for about
onehalf its length round, then assum-
ing fiat shape similar to paddle, end
ing with a blunt tail which seemed to
have been chopped square off. One long
fin extended the full length of both its
back and belly. Its skin was mottled,
free from scales, resembling in smooth
ness somewhat that of catfish. 1t had
massive, wide opening jaws armed with
double row of sharp-pointed teeth,
Embedded in a bony substance as hard
as steel. The eyes were as large as sill
yer dollar and protruded from it's head
in most uncanny manner. Just above
each organ of sight horn two inches
in length, rather blunt, and curved
slightly forward appears. The gills are
greatly elongated, that portion nearest
the top of the head sticking out so as to
resemble short ears, giving to the thing,
were it not for the horns, the look of a
bull dog. Old fishermen as well as In
dams say they had never before seen
anything like it. The creature has been
mounted and placed on exhibition at
Seattle by T. d. Tremaine.-Fied and
Stream.

Asarule, lightning stroke is most COM
mon in the open air, generally under the
tree to which the victim has resorted for
shelter, and this circumstance makes
death more likely, rs the measures for
relieving the shock and restoring the
vital energies cannot be put in prac-
tice till too late. But this year the ma
,jority of fatalities from lightning have
occurred in dwelling houses. There is
no doubt that for this greater frequency
of later years the steady tree telling,
unbalanced by treepanting, is directly
responsible.

Woruout Banknotes.

The destruction of old bank bills too
Rilapidated for further use has an al
most pathetic side when one stops to
hhink how much of good-one tries to
horget the evil--these thin bits of paper
have accomplished in their time. The
destruction takes place in n room in
the United States treasury building.
There is a small table in the center of
the room, on which is tumble of torn
aad soiled bills. Through two holes in
the floor may be seen the cylinders
about the size of locomotive boilers,
into which the bills are sent through
large funnel, the treasury officials prod
ding down the mass when it becomes
Iclogged. When the last slip of paper
has been crowded into n cylinder a
mixture of lime and soda is poured over
hhe entire mass, n cover is clapped over
hhe apparatus, each member of the COM
mittee of destruction assisting to make
sure the fastenings. Steam is then
burner on and the cylinder set in mo-
Etion. When the bills have become
thoroughly macerated, the pulp is
drawn off and taken to paper machine,
where it is made into sheets of paper
and afterward sold. Some one suggested
using some of the pulp to make little
fancy images, and the idea was adopted,
30 that the daintiest little figures i'm
laginable made from the historical sub
Stance may be bought in Washington.

One of the most pathetic instances OF
fortunes mutations is that of the Mar
shall family of Virginia. Chief Justice
Marshall was admittedly one of the
Igreatest men America ever had within
lits borders. He was possessed of a
tprincely domain, consisting of several
counties in northern Virginia. This
magnificent property was left to his son,
who still lives in Warren county at a
very advanced age. Owing to his gen
Ierous nature the son was ruined by Sc
curity debts and unfortunate invest
ments, and tract by tract his land was
sold. The slaves were all freed and the
fortune was gone. The old man lives
with son, and all are poor.

The duels Mt Heidelberg ARE very fa-

in Germany at which dueling is not
practieed, but here it is regarded al
most us religious duty. The sons of
the rich congregat tion at Heidelberg and
/ they are the people who are especially
add ted to this form of student pastime
in Germany. 1t is not nm eXaggeration
to say that between 30 and SO duels
take place here every week during the
semester, and these nearly all at the
Heidclgasse, a little tavern across the
river from Heidelberg which iF known
aud advertised everywhere MS The place
of resort for such encounters. 1t has
served in this capacity for great many

year fought in the Town itself, at a tav-
ern directly in the shadow OF the old
castle. There are duels here some
three or four mornings every week by
! the members of the various fighting
clubs, Of which Heidelberg has an
enormous number The most aristo-
cratic of them ali is the SaXe-Borussia.
/ This club bears cartel relations with
! the Derussia of Bonn, to which the
| Hohenzollerns belong. Five or six
! duels between various combatants are
usually fought on the same morning.
This is all a curious commentary of
law and order as they are supposed to
exist in Germany. Such machinery
for the enforcement of law as is TO lie
found here nouIishes in no other land
IN the world, and yet, for one reason or
another, the duel goes on unhindered.
BY the laws of the empire, without
taking into account the penalties pre-
scribed by the lower Jurisdictions,
there is the most severe punishment for
| duelng and the challenging to duel.
In spite of various attempts to mike
other interpretations, the student duels
have, by the supreme court Of the em-
pire, been decided 10 be ducls in the
sense of the law. Yet, publicly in the
reiehstag, no longer ago than lost WIN
ter, an esteemed member of the llaiser's
ministry declared himself and his gov
ernment at issue not only with the

way.

to see that he did not let it swing in the

The woman who was following
seemed to be paying no attention to the
door, so the man held it open for her to

The thought that occurred to the
woman just as she got in the doorway
appeared to make her doubtful as TO
whether she wished to go in or out.

The Spider-Tree.

DIR. Welwitsch, who has recently ex-
plored the country about Cape Negro
in Africa, tells of a curious plant called
the spider tree. 1t grows on windy
blains. its stem attaining diameter
of four feet, although IL does not eN-
coed one foot in height. II puts out
two leaves, each six or eight feet in
length, and these are split by the Whit
fing of the wind into a number of stiff,
narrow ribbons, bearing no little re
semhlance TO the legs of a gigantic
spider This resemblance becomes
startling when a strong breeze puts the
leR-lilye leaves into rapid motion, and
the negroes shiveringly eNclaiu, that
the great spider is struggling 10 get
loose. Youths Companion,
