CoNsPIRAToRs OVERHEARD.

Henry Drain, a clerk in the
United States Consulate at Ha
vana, was examined as to the re
ceipt of an anonymous letter re-
ceived by the Consul General in
relation to the explosion of tn
Maine Witness produced thu
letter, the date of which was Feb
ruary 18th of the present year
There was no signature, it being
signed "Ap Admirer."
Drain said it seemed to be the
document of fairly educated
man. 1t was written in Spanish.
The translation was produced and
was handed to the Judge Advocate
and read by him. The letter was
referred to in the record as being
marked az" but WAS not append
ed. In response to the question
as to whether he had done any
thing to ascertain the truth of the
statements contained in the letter,
the witness said that he had. He
asked General Lee to look into
the matter, aud he did not appear
to know what to do, stating that
he had no secret service money.
A man by the name of Pope
Taco was mentioned in the letter.
Witness said he had tried to dis
cnyer the whereahonts of the man
and the one to whom he spnkr
aid the name was a mistake, that
the man mentioned had died few
days before the explosion of the
Maine, and the letter referred to a
Pope Barquin, that he had also
died suddenly about two or three
days aft the expl sion of the
Maine. The witness decla ed
that his informant was DIR. Charles
Carbopel, an American citizen.

to resume the regular status of
naval relations between the two
countries, aud he WAS ordered to
make arrangements at the palace
for the Interchange of official
courtesies. After call at the palace
he sent the State Department a
message, saying: "Authoriues

autonomy and produce excitement,
and most probably a demonstra

Every member of that body has

the prolonged exercise of power

Irish Pronunciation.

An amusing example Of the Irish
mans pronunciation occurs in story
told Of the late DR.. Todd, the Irish
archaeological, who, although a great
scholar, was not above perpet1ating a
practical joke. The London Spectator
tells the story and says:
A very learned Englishman went to
Dublin to examine some manuscripts
in the library of Trinity college and
was Of course introduced to Dr. Todd,
who one day in conversation told him
that there was in Trinity college a Gu
rious instance Of the survival of habit
dating from the time of the Danes; that
at certain hour of the afternoon-I
think 6 o'clock-a porter went the
round of the college ringing bell and
calling out in loud voice, 1.-THE Dane g
in the hail." when all the students
rushed from their rooms to repel the in
vaders. So the learned but somewhat
incredulous Englishman repaired to the
college at 6 o'clock, and, sure enough,
what DR.. Todd had told him came to
pass, which he gravely related on his
return to England. The summons of
course referred to the dean.

The Widower Made Plans For His

Included in the wide membership of
the Pacific Union club is middle aged
man whom everybody knows simply as
the Widower. He has been so fortunate
as to outlive three consorts without get
ting tired of any of them. His many
bereavements have given him sort of
professional standing in the world of
sorrow, and he is rather proud of his
reputation for constant mourning.
The Widower, whose grief is inter-
esting to ladies, is never DESTINATIONS
in his sighings. On the contrary, he
cultivates an air of patient resignation,
beautiful to behold. A popularity about
his case is his habit of associating the
memory of each dear, departed spouse

ing Storm.
While British brig was gliding
smoothly along before a good breeze in
the south Pacific flock Of small birds
about the size, shape and color Of par
rakeets settled down in the rigging and
passed an hour or more Of resting. The
second mate was so anxious to find out
the species to which the visiting stran-
gers belonged that he tried to entrap q
specimen, but the birds were too shy to
be thus caught and too spry to be seized
by the quick hands Of the sailora At
the end Of about an hour the birds took
the briggs course and disappeared, but
toward nightfall they came back and
passed the night in the maintop.
The next morning the birds few off
again, and when they returned at noon
the sailors scattered some food about
the decks. By this time the birds had
become so tame that they hoped about
the decks, picking up the crumbs. That
afternoon an astonishing thing happen
ed. The flock came flying swiftly to-
ward the brig. Every bird seemed to be
piping as If pursued by some little in
visible enemy on wings, and they at
once huddled down behind the deck
house. The superstitious sailors at once
called the captain of the brig, who rub
bed his eyes and looked at the barome-
ter. A glance showed that something
was wrong with the elements, and the
brig was put in shape to outride q
storm.
The storm came about 90 minutes
after the birds had reached the vessel.
For few minutes the sky was like the
waterless bottom Of lake-a vast arch
of yellowish midland torrents of rain
fell. Why it did not blow very hard no
one knows, but on reaching port two
days later the captain learned that a
great tornado had swept across that part
Of the sea. The birds left the vessel on
the morning after the storm and were
not seen again. Bulletin.

DEEP SEA WATER.

At One Thousand FathOms Its Pres
sure Il a Ton to the Square Inch.
When marine life began to command
notice, the question Of the depth to
which life could extend divided scien.
tific thought into warning camps. About
1910, it was generally believed that the
bathymetrica limit was about 800 faith
oms, and some strange ideas were cur
rent as to the physical condition of wa
ter when under pressure such as a
depth of two miles would produce. It
was thought that skeletons of drowned
men, or even heavy cannon and the
wedges Of gold" that popular magma
tion places in the sea, foated at certain
levels, beneath which is water so COM
pressed as to be impenetrable. In fact
water is almost incompressible, and the
weight Of cubic inch of it at the depth
of mile is very little more than at the
surface, but it was assumed that no liv-
ing being could survive a pressure
which at 1000 fathoms is about ton
to the square inch.
We ourselves live under pressure of
about Is pounds per inch, and are un-
aware of it. Indeed we sometimes
waken on morning when the barome
ter has risen, say, half an inch during
the night, and consequently find our
selves sustaining an increased pressure
Of several tons not only without suffer
ing, but with positive feeling of buoy
ancy and good spirits. On the other
hand, if the tremendous pressure under
which we live be relieved as by sur
gical "cup," severe injury may follow.
Aeronauts suffer from this cause, and
marine animals dredged from great
depth often reach the surface in most
lamentable condition, with eyes protrud.

He Found . Method OF Beating HIS

In Persia, when creditor fails to get
his money in any other way, he appears
In the debtors house and sits down.
Then he does not move away till the
delinquent pays up. He enters the debt
or's sleeping apartments, il possible, and
has his meals brought in. A few years
ago Persian held an unsatisfied claim
against the British government, and he
presented himself before the British
minister one day and camped out in his
private Office. The minister did not see
the joke, and sent for a policeman. That
made a lot Of noise and trouble, and the
Russian representative in Teheran evil
IDENTIFY learned lesson from it, for he
managed case Of the same kind much
differently.
The Persian who demanded money
from the Russian Count Kolomeisow)
was holy man, dervish, and when he
sat down in the Russians ante1oom to
wait till the latter paid his disputed
claim Count Kolomeisow knew that he
could not get rid of him without much
fuss and explanation. It is against the
laws, or at least the custom, which is
just as firm, to touch a creditor who
takes this means Of collecting money,
SO the count could not throw him out.
He thought over the matter, and one
morning he sent for lot of masons.
Then he ordered them to build wall
around the dervish, who was sitting in
the middle Of the room. The dervish
watched them placidly at first, but
when the wall grew and it became ap-
parent that it would be completed soon
he jumped over it, ran away and has
not been seen since. They say that the
count is the first man in Teheran who
has beaten creditor of this kind with
out recourse to the police. York
