Peculiar Accidents to WarsIlips.

There are some peculiar accidents
to our naval vessels in the past that
are accounted for, but while the mys-
terry of their loss is removed and en-
planned, the stranyeness of their mis-
haps is no less interesting. For in
stance, there is the sinking of the
United States sloop-of-war Oneida in
1869. She was bound home from
Yokohama, but when u short distance
from port the British steamer Bombay
ran into her and cut off her stern.
The INJURY was SO mortal that the
Oneida Immediately fred her guns of
distress, but in the darkness the Bonn
bay crept away instead of returning to
assist her. I'm a short time the sloop
went to the bottom, carrying all OF her
crew with her. When the news
reached Yokohama the captain of the
Bit sh steamer was mobbed by the
indignant populace, and he was dis
missed from the service in disgrace.
Hurl icanes have been responsible for
the wreckage OF several Of our naval
vessels other than those at Samoa in
1889. The brig oi-war Bainbridge
was turned over bya hurricane off Cape
Hatteras in 1868, and everybo ly on
board was lost except II colored cook,
who managed to cling to pieces Of the
wreck until picked up. Ninety Sht
lives We're lost by the wrecking of the
sloop-of-war Huron in 1871. A small
hurricane blew her on the shore of
Norfolk, and she was pounded to
pieces by the violent surf. The Sag
iuaw was wrecked in the very middle
OF the Pacific in 1870.

l;envs' EOutjupSS for Honey.

The choicest food for bears is honey,
and the skill with which they find
tree filled with wild honey is another
one of the wond. rfnl things about
the beast. Men who have been Lee
hunters and honey gatherers in the
canons and foothills of California for
years say they don't begin to have the
unarrins precision of a bear in locat-
ing the tree. In Mexico, especially
in Lower California, the natives who
make business of gathering honey
have tame black bears to locate bees
and honey for them. When wild
bear scents honey it will never LET M,
unless wounded or slain, until it has
found the tree holding the sweetness.
found, Brnn will tlump up and down
the trunk of the tree with forel avs
until it gets hollow sound. In q
moment more it has scratched and
chewed away the bark and wood until
it makes hole large enough to thrust
in Il paw and draw it ont dipping
with honey. Like child eating pre-
serves, the bear repeatedly sops its
great paw with honey and ticks it
with delight. A swarm of angry bees
may buzz about it's head and get into
its wide-open mouth, but that does
not bother the bear 1t just shuts its
eyes and, smiling to itself in ecstasy,
keeps on sopping honey with its paw
and licking it oh.-New York Sun.
