THE WILD WAVES WORK. /.
Wearing Away Of Islands In Chesa-
nQAkA RAV.

Wearing Away Of Islands In Chesa-
peake Bay.
We often wonder at the miracles OF
nature, and sometimes doubt if all
things that geologists tell can possibly
be true. But the changes that are taxi
ing place every day meet the marvels OF
the past, and show that nature is as
busy as she ever was in any age or Pc
riod, says the Baltimore American.
Not many years ago the chain of is
lands on the eastern side of Ches-
apeake bay were large and valuable
But they have been getting smaller all
the time. Sharps island, once quite
settlement, is now comparatively
small spot in the busy waters. Every
year the Chesapeake bay is different.
The tides that carry the drainage OF
many states through her mouth, which
is only IL miles wide, are working
changes every hour.
In New York hundreds of thousands
of dollars were spent upon great hotel
near the waters edge. Now the water
is running under its foundations, and
there is probability that the house
will be total loss. The water of the
Hudson undermined one of mans
strongest works, and a train pitched
into the river. At Atlantic City the
tides have robbed some property own
ers and have made others rich.
But the most striking incident of all
in recent history was the obiiteratior
of Cobb's' island, just off the coast of
eastern Virginia. The dispatches to
the American say it is gone. Months
ago the hotel went, and SO did many of
the buildings. Now the life saving sta
ton has been swept away, and there
is nothing on the island, which used
to be filed with health, comfort ana
beauty. The church is gone. The
houses are gone. The shooting boxes
are gone. The waters have driven mar
away, the life 81. ing crew escaping
with their lives. And yet only four
years ago an offer of $4,000 was made
for the island, and company of capi-
talists was prepared to erect upon it a
handsome hotel

ARcENT.NE.s FINANCES

rhn Nero Interest ON It's Oebe R1sss0
Its Total Income.
The Argentine Republic, like our
own, is q federal one, consisting OF
fourteen autonomous states. At the
present time, says the New York Post.
the republic is bankrupt, and thirteen
of it's constituent states are in the same
condition. Its population OF 4,5OO, 600
averages but four inhabitants to the
square mile, 100000 occupying the
single province of Buenos Ayres, but
the various employees Of the national
and state governments number 5O,OOO,
not including persons employed by the
different municipalities. In several OF
the state governments the entire rev
enue is not equal to the interest upon
their debts, and in several the payment
of salaries appears to exhaust the en-
tire income. Even in the case OF the
national government the salary ac-
count requires about one-third OF the
total revenue. If the revenue of the
fourteen states be added together they
amount to about $40, ,OOO, 900, which il
$500, 600 less than the interest due ON
their external indebtedness, to say
nothing of their internal obligations
The revenue of the national govern
ment is estimated to be about S35 Co.,
600, and it is claimed that the expends-
ture is less than this. The obligations.
however, amount to some $3.50, 900, 900
or $500, 600, 900, the interest upon which
would exhaust half the revenues were
it not SO applied. Obligations that do
not bear interest, chiefly in the shape
of paper money passing at one-third
it's face value, are perhaps equal in
amount to the bonded debt. Many OF
the states appear to be making no at
tempt to pay their creditors Some. a.
well as the general government, have
made compositions in which the chief
ingredients are delays and promises,

THE VANISHING QUAKER.
Gradual ObliteratiOn of the Oh
Orthodoxy.

Gradual ObliteratiOn of the ola
Orthodoxy.
Only lately have Philadelphians be-
gun to realize and reflect upon the dis
appearance of the Quakers as we knew
them; only lately has it been brought
home to us that gradual obliteratiox
of the old uncompromising orthodoxy
has set in which means the ultimate
absorption of the sect. Even now, says
Lippineott's, rare as is the old garb on
the streets, where it was such a COM
mon sight not so many years ago, the
assertion that the society is diminish
ing would meet with doubt and hesita-
ton. We are SO familiar with the Quak-
er, he is so necessary and potent type
in Philadelphia, that we would not ac-
cept the warrant even of statistics, yet,
now that the visible limit has been
reached, what can we do but awake to
the change? We see few broad-brimmed
hats and drab bonnets where we once
saw many; of those who wear them.
the most are old and trembling. II
there are young Quakers, how are WE
to recognize them? Not by their dress.
at any rate, except in so far as their
plainness of cut and sobriety of color
still rule the taste of Friends, whether
wealthy or in moderate circumstances;
the distinctive costume is being laid
aside, with many of the distinctive Gus
toms. And why? Because the society
is losing its control over its younger
members? Because its rigid rules ne
longer suffice to hold in check the hui
man spirit, with its unconquerable love
of freedom? This is the common ex-
planation, and the one desired by those
who love romance.

HARPooNING THE wALRUs.
A Dangerous Proceeding When Done

A Dangerous Proceeding When Dono
from . Boat.
The habits of the Atlantic walrus are
quite similar to those of the Pacific
species, but, according to all accounts,
the former is possessed of degree OF
courage and fighting temper quite un-
known to the other. On land the un-
happy sea-horse is as helpless as
snail, and any clodhopper can blunder
mn and plunge spear into his vitals,
or shoot him. But the Esquimau
hunter, who takes q frail skin boat,
harpoon and line, and seeks him in his
native element, is q sportsman who
riyes him fair show, and chance to
strike back at his only mortal foe.
To harpoon a big walrus and dis
patch him is no child's play, says st.
Nicholas, particularly when there is .
herd of sympathizers on hand to watch
the performance, and possibly take
part in it. The hunter has only one
thing to fear, which is that the hinge
creatures will attack his boat, and, by
hooking their tusks overits side, either
swamp it or smash it. This has actually
occurred several times In the pursuit ee1
the Atlantic walrus. And 1t is quite
enough to make any man trife nerv-
ous when . dozen tusked leviathans,
weighing from half ton to ton each,
full weight, rise out Of the vasty deep,
surround his boat ut close quarters, and
threaten to climb aboard. 1t IL then
time TO pipe AL hands ON deck to rePel
boardsrs, and turn the Winchestera
loose.

CAPTURED eY ANTS

Story OF the Strange and Unpleasant
Experfeisce Of nm English Vessel.
When a vessel recently arrived in
Liverpool with a cargo of logwood,
everybody on board. from captain down
to cook, rushed 'frantically ashore, a.
though pursued by some unseen ene-
my. AS a matter of fact, the vessel
was literally swarming with hordes OF
hungry Jamaica ants, says a London
witness.
The little pests had invaded the lock-
,-rs and dived headlong into the sugar
:arrels. After finishing the contents
Of these, they proceeded to bore holes
through the supply of hard tack, anI
ate every thing before them, until it
was feared that the stock of provisions
on board would run short. There was
cessation from their attacks, when the
vessel was caught in West India hur-
ricane, which flooded the cabin and
drenched everything below. 1t was
supposed that the intruders had all
been drowned, but after the storm had
passed away they began again with re-
newed energy.
The captain who commands the ves-
sci stated that there are millions OF the
insects still on board, and ne Thought
!. that the cargo must have come from the
tsicinity of ant hills for which Jamaica
is noted. He stated that the ants were
in al parts of the vessel, and that in all
his experience at sea he had never be-
fore met with Aasl41aek like the new
comers waged aall kim.

miles, on which 300 cars are used. The
total mileage of electric railways in the
United States, according to the latest
figures, is 13,765, operated by 953 COM
panies. By these statistics it is appar-
ent that America possesses nearly Is
times as many miles of electric lines

sMALL-eoAT VOYAGES.
Stories Of Foolhardy Nen Who Haw
Crossed the Atlantic.

Stories OF Foolhaftly 0en Who Hove
Crossed the Atlantic.
The record OF adventurous persons
who have crossed the Atlantic in crafts
of small dimensions is, comparatively.
speaking, long one, but nothing has
been accomplished beyond fame for
few, and almost repulsive stories a
privations of various kinds and failure
The latest effort of adventure in this
direction is that of Capt. Freitsch, =
Finn, who is to try to cross the Atlantic
in a forty-six-foot flat-bottomed schoon-
er-rigged slxiff, constructed by himself
at Milwaukee. He started from that
city recently crossing the lake and
coming through the Erie canal to Troy,
thence down the Hudson to this city,
savs the New York Tribune. He pro-
poses to start at an early day, going
first to Southampton, thence to ports
ON the continent, and later return oe
the United States.
VOYAGES of this kind in such smaE
craft are evidently more remarkable
than those of clippers, yachts and
schooners, on account OF the perils of
the ocean, the paucity of the crew to
manage the helm and sails during q
period measured by months and the
spirit and pluck OF the individual. But
it cannot be said that such voyages
really accomplish anything for the
science of navigation. In July, 1868,
Capt. Hudson and F.. e. Fitch, the
latter acting as mate, and dog, IN q
twenty -six-foot lifeboat called the Red,
White and Blue, and rugged as a
schooner, started from Sandy Hook on
a voyage of unknown duration and un-
certain vicissitude across the Atlantic.
The boat had several narrow escapes
from capsizing, and thirty-seven days
after leaving New York she entered
Margate harbor. The boat and her
crew were exhibited at the Crystal
Palace, where the story of the voyage
was oft-told. The hardy navigators
did not return in the same way-they
had 'shad enough of it." In the same
year small yacht Of twenty-five tons
made the voyage from Liverpool to
| New South Wales, reaching there in
one hundred and fifty days, distance
| of sixteen thousand miles. In June,
| 1876. Alfred johnson started from
Gloucester in small boat, manned
only by himself, and sixty-seven days
later he reached Liverpool. The voy-
age was a peri]ous one, and when
! about three hundred miles off the Irish
coast his boat was capsized, and he was
providentially assisted by huge wave
in righting it.
| Another bold adventure was that OF
Capt. Thomas Crapo, who, with his
wife, crossed the ocean in twenty
foot boat called the New Bedford. The
adventures sailed from New Bedford
in June, and fifty-four days later
reached Penzance and were right glad
to end the voyage. The experiences
were most bitter and heart-rending.
in July, 1888, Capt. Andrews sailed
from Boston and crossed the Atlantic.
The story Of the voyage was like that
Of many others-deprivation of COM
forts and food, loss of sleep, hair
breadth escapes, dangerous hurricanes
and newspaper notoriety.

THE JUDGES CARRIAGE.

The Marshal Gets It Paid For - TFans-
portation Of Prisoners.
Attorney General Olney tells the fol-
loving story about Justice Gray, Of the
United States supreme court. Judge
Gray prefers riding to walking and q
carriage or cab to . street car When
he first held court In Boston. he asked
the United States marshal to provide
him with q carriage to transport him
from his hotel to the court and back to
the hotel after the days session. The
marshal was commercially prompt and
cheerful in complying with the wishes
of the distinguished jurist. From Bos-
ton Judge Gray went to Providence to
hold court He asked the United States
marshal there to provide him with q
carriage to carry him back and forth.
The marshal said he could not do so
without paying for the vehicle out OF
his own pocket.
"Why, how's that?" exclaimed the
astonished jurist.
s'The department would not allow
the account, and I'll have to pay it, -
explained the marshal.
'But the marshal at Boston furnished
me with carriage, and had no trouble
with his accounts, said Judge Gray.
81 don't see how he did it." protested
the Providence marshal. 81 know that
if / tried it that item in my accounts
would be disallowed."
Every WELL" said Judge Gray. "O1
course don't want you to pay for my
carriage, and he paid it himself, and
the incident closed 90 far as he was
concerned.
Not so with the Providence marshal
He wrote to the Boston marshal and
asked him how he managed to have his
charge for carriage for Judge Gray'i
use between the hotel and the court
house allowed by the department there
Easy enough" wrote the Boston
man in reply. "It's plAin," he contin'
ued, '.that you've not been marshal
long. provided Judge Gray with the
carriage. and my accounts went
through the department without any
trouble. You see, put the item Of the
Judges carriage under the head Of care
and transportation Of priaopers.'
