How They DispOrt Themselves I'm the
Great Maclstrom.
Alexander Lewis an old seafaring
man, says that sea serpents similar to
those being exhibited In Tacoma. are
very plentiful in north and south
polar waters. He tells very interest
ing story. In 1852 he was seaman on
the American bark Oregon. Captain
Shields, sailing from Antwerp, Bel
GUM, to the Arctic sea after seals.
They passed North Cape, the northern
extremity of Norway, $50 miles east Of
which is the great maelstrom, the
whirling influence of which Is felt and
seen at sea. a distance Of 100 miles
from the center. Though the govern
ment OF Norway has made careful ex-
periments, 1t has been found danger
Gus for vessels to approach nearer than
fifty miles of the center. On the ex-
IRENE outer edges of the maelstrom
Captain Lewis says, the crew of the
Oregon saw numerous sea serpents
Identical In appearance with those on
exhibition and ranging from 10 to 25
feet in length. They would bob out
of the water now and then alongside
of the ship, pair of them being fire.
Quently seen together. Occasionally
some of the sailors put off in a small
boat and endeavored to harpoon one,
but they never succeeded. The Serpents
were too quick in their movements,
and had such ferocious look that the
sailors did not care to get too close to
them.
Mr. Lewis says that two or three
years later, when the Oregon was
about 100 miles out of the Cattegat,
between Denmark and Sweden, and en-
tering the North Sea, the entire crew
beheld a most astonishing sight. 1t was
sea serpent about 900 feet long, black
in color, and with big, round eyes that
seemed to size of a washtub, Lewis de-
clares. Around each Of his eyes were
three great rings. 1t had a dorsal fin
extending the entire length of the YER
tebrae and sharp tail. Lewis thinks
this was the greatest sea serpent ever
beheld by man. When described it had
it's head fifteen feet out of the water,
and was summing itself. The ship put
about and made straight for him.
When within about e quarter Of mile
the serpent went under. Lewis thinks
the serpent was twenty feet through
at its neck. He says the story sounds
so improbable that he has seldom told
it, but that Captain Shields, whose
home port was Rockland, Maine, as
well as the other sailors, will vouch for
it's truth If alive.

GAMBLING ON RAIN.
Philadelphia Record.


''Barsa ka Satta' Is peculiar game
which is much played in East India,
but has recently been prohibited by the
English government. The game con-
sists of bets being made on rainy days
whether little or much rain will fall,
the quantity of rain being determined
by several primitive methods. The
most usual method is the following:
Upon the terraces or roofs of many
houses in India there is a water tank
provided with q waste pipe. Through
this tube the water escapes If a certain
amount Of rain has fallen. The point
OF the game Is to try and guess when
rain storm is approaching, and at
what time the rain water In the tank
will be so high that the waste water
will begin to flow out of the discharge
pipe. The natives devoted themselves
to the game with such passionate in
terest that frequently fights occurred,
which in some places have even taken
the shape of actual riots. AS a con-
sequence of these continued difficulties
the Indian government stopped the
trouble by prohibiting the "Barsa ka
Satta'' altogether.

When the spices and the confect-
ioner's molasses are added, put in a
pound of pastry flour that has been
sifted three times to tighten it. Knead
the cake after adding the flour, and
then put in the fruit. Have already
prepared two pounds of well-cleaned
currants, two pounds of sultana raisins
OF the finest quality, two pounds Of
seeded Malaga raisins, one pound of
citron (cut in thin slices) and one gill
or Jamaica rum and one Of brandy,
Knead the cake for ten minutes. Put
1T into two brick-shaped cake pans,
holding about three quarts each, after
lining them with creased papers
Bake the cake for fully five hours,
but watch 1t carefully lest 1t bake too
fast. The oven must be kept at mod
crate heat by proper use Of the stove
hampers. If the oven seems too hot
after the hampers are turned off to
deaden the heat, put a pan of cold
water In the oven and change it as
1T grows hot. When the cake Is done,
cool 1t for fifteen minutes, then ice 1t
with the unbeaten white of one egg,
mixed with half pound Of confect-
ioner's sugar. Afterward, when this
Icing Is cooled, apply a coat of deco
rative Icing, which must be made of
the white of an egg beaten with pow
dered sugar, a teaspoonful at a time,
until the icing will stand in place, when
piled in shape. 1t will toxic about an
hours steady beating to make this
Icing. The amount of sugar depends
on the size of the egg.

concerning the courtship ceremony and
the honeymoon, Mrs. Craven was
rather reticent. Indeed, she did NOT
relate any of the startling story of her
own accord, but was compelled to do
SO by the order of the court. Finally
Mrs. Craven, or, as she sometimes calls
nerselI now, Mrs. Fair, produced the
deeds which were recorded with so
much mystery. The attorneys for the
Fair children claimed that in one of
the deeds the signature of Senator Fair
was written over an erasure Another
omission, which may cause the fair
plaintiff trouble, is that, although the
property is described carefully and ac-
curately, 1t does not state that 1t is in
