Irish Pronunciation.

An amusing example of the Irish
mans pronunciation occurs in story
told Of the late DR.. Todd, the Irish
arch@ologist, who, although a great
scholar, was not above perpet1ating
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 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, "The Danes
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 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.

a CLEVER RUSSIAN.
He Found Method of Beating His
Persian Creditor.

He Found a Method Of Beating His
Persian Creditor.
IN Persia, when creditor fails to get
his money in any other way, he appears
in the debtor's house and sits down.
Then he does not move away till the
delinquent pays up. He enters the debt
or's sleeping apartments, if possible, and
has his meals brought in. A few years
ago Persian held an unsatisfed 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 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 Kolomejsow)
was a holy man, a dervish, and when he
sat down in the Russians ante1o DOM 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

Sailors Warned ny Them of Com
ing Storm.
While British brig was gliding
smoothly along before 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
specimen, but the birds were too shy to
be thus caught and too spry to be seized
by the quick hands of the sailors. 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 flew 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 a
storm.
The storm came about 20 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. Maryland Bulletin.

AN EYE TO THE FUTURE.
The Widower Made Plans For His
Fourth HONEYMOON.

The Whoever Made Plans For His
Fourth Honeymoon.
Included in the wide membership of
the Pacific Union club is a 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 ostentatious
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
with some spot or resort about the city
or the suburban towns.
He was recently showing San Fran
cisco and its environs to friend from
New York. Over in Berkeley. he re-
marked, sighingly:
Here I once walked on flowers, for
my Elizabeth was with me then.
Out in the park he was careful to in
dictate the exact spot where poor Katha-
rine had sketched the landscape with
her right hand, while her left was
clasped in his. At Sutro Heights he
dropped a single tear, developed with
great difficulty, as he gazed on the
beach, where, not SO very long ago, he
sat with his arm around his sainted
Caroline.

He Could Get Them.

When he was Harvard student. the
late Sherman Hoar became famous as a
maker of epigrams. One evening he had
been indulging in his usual style Of
D., man after his own heart, but too
apt to interlard his lectures with ap-
parently original witticisms taken, after
the manner of Moliere, wherever he
found them. When Hoar and fellow
student had left the academic presence,
the latter enthusiastically cried: "By
Jove, Sherman, how do you manage
it? I wish I could remember all the
bright things you said just now
$50 to DIS lecture tomorrow and
take notes, said Hoar. You'll get
them theni"- Exchange.

DEEP SEA WATER.

At One Thousand Fathoms Its Pres
sure Is 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 IN
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
gica] "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-
ing and viscera distended. G. M.

view

That an answer may be cheerful and

WILL FIGHT REQUlSITlON
THE POLICE ARE WORKING HARD
ON THE BOTKIN CASE.
The San Francisco Onicers Need More
Data to Work On Attorneys VIII
Make a Desperate Fight.

san Francisco, Aug. 26.--The police
of this city are working hard to perfect
the local end of the Botkin case before
detectives arrive from the East with
the requisition papers for Mrs. Bot
kin's extradition. Assistant District
Attorney Dunno is preparing to aid the
authorities in every way, and at the
same time Mrs. Botkin's attorneys are
preparing an elaborate argument
against a transfer of the case to the
Delaware courts.
Attorney Dunno has requested Chief
OF Police Lees TO give a more definite
status of the case from the Delaware
officials. and to that end the following
was telegraphed to Attorney General
White of Delaware to-day, asking for
the affidavits in the case of the follow
ing points:
Separate affidavits from all parties
knowing any facts tending to show who
committed the crime, to-wit: From
poStoftice authorities of date OF recent
of box, to whom delivered. by whom
delivered to the victims. who partook
OF il and date of deaths. with names
of victims, attending physicians, that
candy contained poison; affidavit from
chemists, analysis candy; date of an
alysis, with result: parties present at
eating of candy. All these. with other
affidavits obtainable concerning proof
of guilt as would be sufficient to hold
the defendant to answer before a
magistrate for final trial and must be
attached to and made part of the re-
QUESTION papers, properly exemplified
by magistrate and county clerk and
authenticated according to law"
Mrs. Botkin's attorneys will make a
desperate fight in her behalf. and Chief
Lees wants to have his side of the
case prepared on strictly legal informa-
tion.
Mrs. Botkin spends a great deal of
her time in perfecting the gorgeousness
of her attire. She changes her gowns
frequently, and to all outward appear
ances, is not in the least nervous. She.
however, takes a great deal of interest
in the case and reads every line pub
lished in the newspapers. She has had
several consultations with her attor-
neys, but the ordeal has so far had
little apreciable effect on her nerves.
