For Explorin1 the Sea. bottom.
A spherical box containing compress
ed air. and large enough to hold three
or more persons, has been invented by
an Italian named Corzetto, for the pur-
pose Of exploring the sea bottom. 1t
appears, however, that the invention e
not yet a practical success, for when
Mr.. Corzetto, accompanied by two OF
his friends. entered his sphere and was
lowered to the bottom Of the Bay OF
spezia recently, the apparatus for caus-
ing the sphere to rise to the surface
failed to work. Unable to help them
selves, or to communicate with the
outer world, the three men remained on
the sea bottom. In the meantime the
long submergence Of the sphere had
been noticed, and diver was sent
down to find out what was the matter.
At this time the sphere had been lying
on the bottom nine hours, and an equal
length of time elapsed before 1t could
be lifted to the surface. When 1t was
opened the inventor was half asphyx-
lated and his friends were unconscious,
but all recovered; and Mr.. Corzette d
not discouraged.

Delicious snafIs Of Provence.

The Provencal snails, which feed in
q gourmet fashion upon vine leaves, are
peculiarly delicious, and there was a
murmur Of delight from our company
as the four women brought to the table
four big dishes full of them; and for
while there was only the sound of eager
munching, mixed with the clatter on
china Of the empty shells. To extract
them we had the strong thorns, three or
four inches long, of the wild acacia;
and on these the little brown morsels
were carried to the avid mouths and
eaten with bit of bread sopped in the
sauce; and then the shell was subjected
to vigorous sucking, that not a drop
OF the sauce lingering within it should
be lost-Century.

Archbishop Magee was once present
at full-dress debate on the eastward
position, when doubts were expressed
as to the exact meaning Of the words
before the table," After a speech Or
two, DR.. Magee seized piece Of paper
and wrote: "As to the phrase, The
piper played before Moses doubts
have arisen. Some believe it's meaning
to be that the piper played before Mo-
ses-that is, at a period anterior to his
birth Others hold that the piper play
ed before Moses in the sense of preced-
ing the great law-giver when he dane
ed; while others teach that the piper
played (coram Nose before, or in the
presence of Moses, wan the son Of
Amran dined. All these are wrong
The phrase is to be understood as i'm
plying that the piper played at the
north end of Moses, looking SOUTH"

the legislature took ballot in each
house separately. Interest was CEN
tered on the showing to be made of the
strength of Turner and Squire, as it
was known that the Populist vote would
be scattered. Judge Turner very
shrewdly had his name presented in
both houses by Populists. Senator
Keith, of Pierce, presented his name
in the senate and Representative J. B.
Smith of Douglas, in the house. Sem
ator Squire did not receive vote in
the senate and only three in the house,
and they were Democrats and silver
Republicans. The Republicans voted
solidly for Arthur A. Denny, of Seat
tie. The vote in the senate stood:
Denny, Is; Daniels, 10; Turner, g.;
Range, 2; Clark Davis, 1; Baker, l.;
Senator DAVIS, 1.

ENGLAND STEALS A BASE
Obtains Some Exclusive Concessions
in Nicaragua.

Washington, Oct. 1T is stated by
persons familiar with Nicaragua canal
affairs that either the United States or
the Nicaragua Canal company will in
Sttute an inquiry concerning the re-
cent grant by Nicaragua to the Atlas
Steamship company, a British corpora
ton, of exclusive rights of navigation,
for the next 40 years of the San Juan
river and Lake Nicara qua. These two
waterways are said to form two of the
links of what will ultimately be the
Nicaragua canal.
The state department recently re-
ceived a report from Consul O'Hara in
Nicaragua giving brief details of the
concession granted to the British com
pany and stating that it embraced var
iOus exclusive privileges in the Silicon
lagoon, the San Juan river and Lake
Nicarag qua.
Since then additional information has
become available as to the plans of the
Atlas company. The Silicon lagoon is
said to be off the route of the canal
and there appears to be no reason why
this should not pass into the exclusive
control of the British company. The
excavations beginning at GreytOn and
running west, unite with the San Juan
river, which in turn leads to Lake
Nicaragua, after which the artificial
cut is continued to the Pacific. Under
these circumstances it is said that eX
elusive privileges of navigation in these
two waterways for the next 80 years
would in effect limit the navigation Of
the NicaTaguan canal Whether the
concession makes any exception in this
regard is not known as the reports, in
Guiding that of Consul O'Hara to the
state department, merely state that the
concession is an exclusive one.
An official familiar with Nicaragua
canal affairs said today that the con
cessiOn would have to be construed as
subsequent to that of the canal COM
pany and the latter's rights in the San
Juan river and Lake Nicaragua he be-
Iieved, would be fully recognized by
Nicaragua. But the danger, he added,
was that when the American cOmpa-
ny's concession expired two years
hence. the British corporation would
succeed under the terms of the recent
concession to all exclusive rights of
navigation in these two links of the ca
nal.
For this reason it was believed that
the government or the canal company
would take steps to learn definitely If
this exclusive privilege extended to
navigating the lake and river when
they became a part of the Interoceanic
canal
Secretary Long decided to send the
Newport, now at Boston, with the com
mission. The commission will sail
about the middle of November and will
remain in the south during the winter.

American Bantam Champion Seeks
Matches on the Other Side.

Chicago, Oct 1-"Jimmy'' Barry of
tits city, bantam weight champion box
er Of America, will leave this afternoon
for New York. He will sail from there
for England, where he will attempt to
arrange matches with any boxer of his
weight. Barry will travel entirely
alone, and expects to be able to man
age his own affairs. Barry will not
try to get matches with the best of his
class on the other side, that is, not IN
til he has been able to show his mettle
against some man of the medium class
He will be open to meet anyone in Eng
land at from 107 to 10 pounds for a
purse or side bet. A well known local
patron of boxing will back Barry for
any amount. He will meet this man in
New York and arrange then to secure
the necessary backing.
Barry expects to meet Tommy
White, another Chicago boxer who is
now in England. and viii assist the
latter in his training work for his bat
tie with Dave" Wallace. Barry ex-
poets White will be able to show him
the ror es." The latest English sporting
papers tell of the arrival there of
White. Wallace, the young man he is
to meet is considered the best of his
weight in England. barry will probably
be behind White III the contest.
