frost-bitten and many had their feet so
badly frozen that by the next day they
could not walk.
The natives took possession of all the
provisions left on the wreck but later re-
turned half of them and agreed to keep
the survivors until some ship should take
them away.
The next day most of the men went to
the whaling station. some five miles away,
but some could not walk that far and re-
manned with the natives. and too, few
remained in the village all winter.
Unhecded signals of Distress.
Ship after ship went by not needing the
signals of distress placed a. intervals along
the beach. Finally the steamer Belvidere
came quite close In and the third mate and
four men left in a whaleboat TO intercept
her. but the vessel kept on her way and
nothing more was ever heard OF the whale
boat or its crew. The bark Narwhal saw
the signals and stopped. The men rushed
down To the beach. but before they could
launch boat the bark stood of and was
soon out of sight.
After this. and seeing there was no
further chance OF sending the shipwrecked
men home Capt. Bayne, In charge of the

New Mineral Substance.

Manjak Is q new mineral substance
found in the Island Of Barbados,
which Is used as an intensifier Of the IL
Illuminating power Of coal gas. It's i'm
portance to the electrician, however,
lies in the fact that 1t possesses many
Of the properties Of an ideal insulator
for electric wires. 1t is Of black color,
and has high luster and bright, con-
choidal fracture, resembling In appear
ance newly broken pitch. 1t Is found
very near and sometimes upon the sur
face Of the ground In seams varying
from one foot to two feet in thickness,
running usually at an angle Of about
forty degrees, and in close prox-
Unity to rocks. 1t Is supposed to have
been formed by the drying up and con-
soiidation Of petroleum oil, which Is
found In abundance in the same locali-
ties and is often seen oozing out of the
ground or floating down the streams. In
composition 1t Is not unlike Trinidad
pitch, the Utah "giloonite" and the
Mexican "albertit." The analysis Of
the best quality manjak is stated to be
moisture, 2.66: volatile organic matter,
7O.S5; non-volatile organic matter,
2e.97; mineral matter, 0.1S.

Mexico's wild Hog or Peccary, Runs
from Nothing Under the Sum.
The most vicious and fearless Of the
brute creation Is the peccary or wild
hog of Mexico. This animal seems ut
terly devoid of the emotion Of fear.
have never seen 1t turn hairs breadth
out of its path for any living thing,
says writer. Man Is its SPECIAL bette
noire. 1t displays an intelligence In
fighting the human strangely at vari-
ance with its apparently complete lack
of any mental attributes, save the very
lowest order Of instinct They are rare
ly found singly, but go In droves Of
from hundred to thousands. Their
ability to scent men Is particularly
marked. have known a drove OF
them to scent man mile of and
strike as straight for him as the arrow
flies. There Is no use to try to brighten
them with guns. The cannonading OF
full battery would have no more ef-
feet ON them than the popping OF a
fire cracker. The only thing to do
when they get after you Is to run away
from them as fast as horse can carry
you. And then there Is no certainty
that they won't catch you. They are
nearly as swift as horse, and their en-
durance Is as great as their vicious
ness.
A friend Of mine encountered drove
Of them in wild part Of Mexico a few
years ago, and his escape was miracu-
lous. He very foollshly shot and
wounded a number of them. Then he
took refuge in a tree. The peccaries
kept him in the tree all that day and
through the night. They circled around
the tree, grunting and squealing their
delight at the prospect Of feast He
soon exhausted his ammunition, and
brought down a peccary at each fire.
But this had no terrors for the beasts.
Along toward morning the brutes be-
gan to eat the ones he had killed. and
when they thus satisfied the cravings
of their stomachs they formed in line
and trotted off. If they had not had
some of their own number to devour

He Won His Case.

The late Gov. Throckmorton, Of Tex
as, was once engaged in the defense of
man accused of murder.
The evidence against his client was
too strong to be overcome by any plea
except that Of self-defense; but the
man killed was in his shirt-sleeves nj
the time, and no one had seen him with
weapon exposed.
NJ. Throckmorton at the proper juno
ton suddenly pulled off his coat and
waistcoat, and, turning round so that
the jury could see him from every side
inquired whether in their judgment he
was armed or not.
The answer in the negative was unan-
imous. With a knowing smile, Mr..
Throckmorton proceeded to draw from
under his left arm one pistol, another
from under his right, one from each OF
his boots, and finally a huge bowie
knife from under his shirt at the back
Of his neck.
AS he laid the weapons In a row on
the table, he said, "You see, gentlemen,
although In my shirt-sleeves, it was not
safe to consider me unarmed." The
counsel for the prosecution knew from
that moment that their case was lost.

north of New Castle, Del, the Duke
having expressed desire to retain the
land twenty or thirty miles north Of
the same town. The distance agreed
upon was twelve miles. PENIS repre-
sentatives soon afterward entered on
the plantation, when they discovered
that Lord Baltimore's patent, IL con-
tinued to the fortieth degree Of lati-
tude, would embrace the site Of Phila-
delphia, and leave the province har-
borless. The Duke of York, hoping to
right matters, gave Penn a deed for
New Castle, and the plantation twelve
miles around 1t, in 1852. A second in
strument conveyed to Penn all Of the
plantation from New Castle southwark
to Cape Helopen. Lord Baltimore's
protest against such disposals of terri
tory in his charter reached the Duke,
who had now succeeded to his brother
on the throne. In 1856 the Kings Coun-
ell, hoping to right the objections of
Baltimore, decided upon the following:
That for avoiding further differences,
the tract Of land lying between the Bay
Of Delaware and the Eastern Sea on the
one side, and the Chesapeake on the
other, be divided into equal parts by a
fine from the latitude Of Cape Hen
lopen to the fortieth degree Of north
latitude, the southern boundary of
Pennsylvania by charter, and that the
one-half thereof lying toward the Bay
Of Delaware and the Eastern Sea be
adjudged to belong to his Majesty, and
the other half to the Lord Baltimore,
as comprised in his charter.

the sons of William Penn and Charles
