Prince Ademuyiwa, Of Jebu Reno, in
West Africa, was lately entertained at
lunch by the lord mayor of London at

WONDERS OF NASSAU.

at Night.
Having in remembrance old Sampson
Stamp, of Key West, the discoverer OF
the sea gardens at Nassau, we took
pilot and sailboat the following morn
ing and sailed some four miles up the
channel. There we disembarked in
rowboat with glass bottom. made by
inserting therein plates of thick glass,
through which the bottom of the sea
spread out before us like dry land. A
strange feeling creptover me and in i'm
agination fancied myself with Jules
Verne on the voyage of Twenty Thou.

see all the little fishes, minnows one
inch long and larger kinds one foot.
two feet and three feet in length, some
white and black and blue, besides many
aIgelfsh, all yellow like a canary. with
bright blue fms and tail, swan by
beneath us. Like the ripe wheat
fields in summer sway to the breeze SO
there in the submarine currents waved
great punches Of fan-leaf coral, pur-
pie, yellow and white. The water was
clear as air, and, pointing to some es-
pecially beautiful specimens OF rock and
fans, our little darky dove over, and,
like the fish, we could see him swimming
down until at last, clutching the growth
with two hands and feet firmly braced
against the coral, he gave tug and
away came to the top, fan in hand. In
deed, God hath wrought marvellous
things in this world of His, but nothing
of greater bewitching fancy than the
sea gardens of Nassau.
When night came and before the
moon was up drive OF two miles back
on New Providence island brought US
to q most interesting work of nature.
A lake some 1000 feet long and 300 feet
wide lay quiet and black as any other
sheet of water at night might do. But
once in rowboat, and showed off from
shore what a mighty change was
wrought! Two small out-swimmers,
the hue of the surrounding darkness.
accompanied our boat of fire, for suck
it seemed. Like two human torches our
darkies swan by our side as in q cloud
of phosphorescent fire. At the slight
est disturbance the whole surrounding
water lit up like molten silver. Each
boys toes and fingers were as though
the sun shone on them, and fish darted
through the quiet water-like sky-rock-
cts, leaving glittering trail behind.
The light was SO vivid could see the
time by my watch, and when a wave was
sent upward with the oar the falling
drops were like blue-tinted pearls. The
movements of our boat made enough
light to plainly show the bottom, for
the water is from the ocean and as clear
as all that which nature makes to flow
about those lovely Bahamas. Enticed
by the waters warmth and the hot
night my friend and went in swim
ming, but only for few minutes. From
this swim comes story hard to believe,
but as true as Gospel. That night, as
was my custom before turning in,
went to the bathroom, which could
easily darken, to change some photo
plates in my holders. When about to
pull the slides noticed the phosphores'
cence, which I had brought from the
lake, shining from my bare feet and Civ
ing so much white light I had to cover
them with towel before I dared ex'

Our parrot was the present OF

few months previously. Her plumage
il the same in color as were her prede-
cessors. She was, when she first came,
evidently young bird, and has grown
since we have had her. In spite of her
1s years there is no sign Of age about
her; she sings, dances, climbs and
whistles with all the vigor of youth,
and though perhaps smaller than the
other two birds. is quite as noisy. In
many ways she is, however. very differ

muchmore shy in the presence OF stran'

gives angry whacks and double knocks
upon the tin floor Of her cage. Moth
ing appears to delight her more than
mischief. She positively revels in it,
and to get hold of anything she ought
not to hare is unmixed joy. Evidently
the bird has been at some time very
cruelty treated; for many months she
was terrified at the sight # a man or
boy, and for years broomstick was an
object of horror to her. Since getting
over this fear she has shown decided
liking for the sweep and the coalman, 2,
and the latter has left the house with
the bird wishing him pleasantly good
by, and affectienately requesting him
ITO kiss her, which gives riss to the ques-
ton whether she may have had, IN her

bacon principally from Chicago. AS
the raw materials Of these products are
all easily grown in Idaho, the colonhists
determined to provide the simple In
