wrecked ON por, Fisher.

Technical training in any profession
is a good and necessary thing, but II
must be supplemented by careful and
constant practice in order to eliminate
the chances of danger. especially on
board ship. In 1868 the United States
frigate b. vas cruising off the Virgin
ian coast under the command of Capt.
IL. Capt. III. had under his charge a
number of young and enthusiastic mid.
shipmen, graduates of the naval coll
lege OF Annapolis.
1t was his custom to have them
take the position Of the ship at noon
each day. when he took his
own observations. Very often 1t hap
pens that their calculations did not
tally with his, but this only made him
the more anxious TO exercise them In
so necessary a mathematical problem.
One day he was sitting in his cabin
as usual at noon. after he had COM
pleted his calculations, and waiting
for his "middies" to bring in theirs.
The first came In almost Immediately.
visibly elated at having finished his
task SO soon and, as he believed, SO
correctly.
The captain took one look at the fig-
ures, and then leaped from his seat so
quickly that the astonished midship-
man started back in alarm. Almost ex-
ploding with laughter, the old captain
curved his hands before his mouth and
hurried TO the companionway.
Clear away the boais.'' he roared.
Clear away the boats. We're wrecked
hard and fast around on top of Fort
Fisher!"
There was a howl of laughter from on
deck. and the erratic young man
grasped his papers and rushed past the
captain and mi of the cabin without
waiting for ceremony.

Gen. Grants Uniform.

General Horace Porter describes b
a on Petersburg in the April
instalment of his articles in the Cen
tury on Campaigning with Grant"
General Porter says. concerning Grants
attitude towards dress:
The weather had become SO warm
that b general and most Of the stan
had ordered thin. dark blue flannel
blouses TO be sent TO them TO take the
place Of the heavy uniform coats which
they had been wearing. The summer
clothing had arrived, and was now
tried on. The generals blouse. like
the others, wa Of plain material, sim
gle breasted, and had four regulation
brass buttons in front. 1t was substan-
tally the coat of a private soldier. with
nothing 10 indicate the rank of an Of
hcer except the three gold stars Of a
lieutenant general on the shoulder
straps. He wore at this time'a turn
down white linen collar and a small,
black butterfly" cravat. which was
hooked on 10 his front collar button.
The general, when he put on the blouse
did not take the pains TO see whether
II fitted him or TO notice how 1t looked,
but thought only OF the comfort IL
afforded, and said. well. this is a re-
lief" and then added: Il have never
taken as much satisfaction as some
people in making frequent changes in
my outer clothing. / like to put on
a suit Of clothes when ! get up in the
morning, and wear it until l go to bed

able, instead Of using a best and {
second best. know hat is not tn,
right way TO manage, but a comfort
able coat SEEM like an old friend, an.
] don't like TO change it,"
The general had also received a pal
OF light. neatly fitting calfskin boots
to which he seemed to take a fancy
thereafter he wore them most of thu
time in place Of his heavy top boots
putting on the latter only when he rod
out In wet weather.

While three men were hunting In
Idaho. one gave a shout. and the others
ran TO his assistance. They found him
ciinging TO some vines. that grew on
b edge OF a great hole in the ground,
at least thirty feet In diameter. After
hauling him out. he explained that he
had walked into the hole while looking
ahead for game. and only saved himself
by the merest chance. The hunters
came back the next day with ropes and
lowered a man into the pit. lie report
ed that IL was nearly sixty feet deep.
and halfway down was narrowed In
like an hour glass, so that any living
thing falling into the pit could never
get out without assistance. AS a proof
the floor OF the pit was strewn with
the careasses OF bear. deer and lesser
game. The luckless animals al differ
ent times had evidently fallen into the
pit, perhaps while being chased, and.
OF course. were unable 10 climb the

men thought he saw a chance, and

10 make him look around for his tor.
mentors. and presently he was In full
chase. They ran at a lively pace. bnl
would have been caught had they no,
scrambled up the rocks. Tho grlxzl,
scrambled up, too. but presently al
sounds Of pursuit ceased. LookIn,
back. they saw the bear jammed be.
tween two rocks. Before he could bael
out, one OF the men ran back and puI

Pearl Farm.

There is only one pearl farm in the
world. 1t is in the Torres Straits. at
the northern extremity of Australia.
and belongs to James Clark. of Queens
land. Mr.. Clark, who is known as s.the
king of the pearl fishers" originally
stocked it with a hundred and fifty
thousand pearl oysters. Now 1900 men
200 of whom are divers-and $50 ves-
sells are employed in harvesting the
crop. II have been fifteen years en-
gagged in pearl fishing" Mr.. Clark told
a correspondent of the Melbourne Age.
Il began in a small way. and have
given the fisheries my close attention
during all this time. My experience
has led me to the belief that. with
proper intelligence in the selection Of
a place, N can raise pearl and oyster
shells as easily as n can raise oys-
tiers. l started my farm three wears
ago, and have stocked 1t with shells
which ! obtained in many instances far
out at sea. To grow shells successful
ly. however, according to my expert
ence thus far. the water must not be
too deep. My pearl shell farm covers
5,0Ss square miles. Over most of il
the water is shallow. In shallow water
shells attain the greatest size, and. be-
sides. it is hard on the divers to 20
down deep for them. ship my pearls
to London in my own vessels. The
catch each year runs. roughly speak
ing. from forty thousand pounds up to
almost five times that amount.

mails are very short; the feet are penta-
dactyle and webbed. In the fore feet
(which seem to have the greatest mus
cular power and are principally used
both for burrowing and swimming) the
web extends a short distance beyond
the claws, is loose, and falls back when
the animals burrow; the fore feet are
thus capable Of great expansion. .
The head is rather fiat, and from the
mouth projects two fiat lips or
dibles, resembling the beak Of q shovel
er duck.
The slightest noise or movement
will cause the timid creature instantly
to disappear. so acute are they in sight
or hearing. or perhaps in both, and
they seldom fe-appear when once
frightened. !.
These creatures are seen In the Aus
tralian rivers at all seasons of the
year, but are most abundant during the
spring and summer months, and / think
q question may arise whether they do
not hibernate. The best time for see-
ing them is early in the morning or
late in the evening"
