BATTLE WITH A DEVIL FISH.

Tacoma, Wash, April 1S.-A huge devil
fish yesterday afternoon attacked a boat
containing DR.. W. T. Warren, Miss Katie
Herbruck and Lillian McKeehan, who
were out searching for sea urchins and
star fishes. The octopus made his APP
pearance while the party were rowing
along the shore of Lemons beach.
1t began the battle by throwing a five-
foot arm into the boat and but for stout
resistance would have fastened it about
the foot of one of the occupants. DIR.
Warren and his companions had only two
oars as weapons.
The young ladies took turns in keeping
the boat in position and assisted in club~
biug the furious water devil, which lasned
the water into foam.
After a severe fight the octopus gained
a temporary advantage by fastening a
tentacle around the cross piece in the
boats bow, and starting down the soun1.
He proved more vulnerable than the

AN EN- GrIsH FALCON HUNT IN COSTUME OF LOUIS XVI.

1t is nearly two hundred years since
falconry as a great national sport was
practised in France and England Marie
Antoinette and Louis XVI Of France were
the last falconers of any note. For. i'm
mediately after them, came the modern
firearms. and hunting became more dead
ly and more exciting. Marie Antoinette
learned to falcon from her mother the
great Marie Teresa, of Austria, and loved
it 10 the last. But the forests of Fontaln-
ebleau afforded little cham for the wild
game needed for falconry, and she had to
content herself with dressing in pictures
que hunting costume and riding forth
with her beloved Louis and ladies'.
Falconry, in It's revived state, differs
very little from the Old sport. A hunt
with falcons took place en- the estate adj
joining Lady Beresford's, In which her
ladyship did not. however, participate.

tie heir enjoyed the presence OF the gay
falconers and their notes as they rode

FREAK CLOCKS AND WATCHES.
Some of the Most striking Novelties
Turned Out by Inventors of Time

pieces.
From the Philadelphia Times.
No fruits of modern inventive genius are
more fascinating than hundreds of watches
and clocks recently patented in this coun-
try. Judging from the claims of inventors,
timepieces may now be charged with sufIi-
cient potential energy to give them almost
perpetual life. In the strictly modern
clock the coil spring is replaced by an cleo
trio hydraulic, or pneumatic motor.
One of the latest ideas patented the other
day by a Swiss inventor is an electric
watch which may be made luminous at
night. The w@arer carries a convenient
portable battery in his walstcoat pocket,
on one side, while the watch occupies the
corresponding opposite pocket. Embedded
ia the connecting gold chain is an Insulated
wire which conducts the current The
circuit is made complete when an attach
ment in locket is compressed. Behind the
translucent dial is minute incandescent
lamp, which shines brightly and shows the
relative positions of the hands and gradu-
ations on the face
An Englishman lately patented in this
country a clock which may be so attached
to the arm of a gas bracket as to have It's
face and hands visible al all hours of the
night to any one lying in bed. The case
containing the works fits In the bracket
and the dial Is raised above the case so
as to stand unobstructed between the
fame and the eye of the observer A sim
liar attachment is a composite globe and
clock which conveniently fits over the gas
jet. The works rotate on a ring which
grasps the globe. graduated with the hours
OF the day and fractions thereof A sta
tionary hand points to each graduation
as the globe travels about, making one
complete revolution every twelve hours.

to the hub OF the hour hand Of an ordina-
