STRANGE VISIONS At SEA
WHOLE CREW FOOLED by AN
OPTICAL DELUSION.
Strange Adventure OFF the Philippine
Islands Noted by a French Naval
Officer.

1t is not unusual that a whole crew
is made the victim of an optical illu-
sion at sea. Lieutenant Lestonnat of
the French navy says that while near
the Philippines, in 1881, the lookout
announced that he saw a pirogue or
sharpe on the starboard quarter. 81
saw the pirogue. Suddenly the mate
shouted: TT is not a pirogue; it is
the rigging and reported that he saw
distinctly a man standing in the boat
and that he was making signals.
''It is not necessary to be aloft to
see that" replied the mate. 81 can
see him distinctly here.
"After having observed the boat
with attention. I saw as plainly as
possible. and all the crew saw just as
7 did a man making signals with an
oar. at the end of which was tied a
piece of cloth.
"The captain took his glasses and
followed me to the forward deck. He
recognized. just as we did boat
painted white. and in the bow there
was a man waving an oar. at the end
of which was fastened a piece of sail
cloth.
"He gave the order to the man at
! the wheel to let the vessel fall off. 81,
as to get the boat we'll on our star
board. The man seeing that we were
coming for him. ceased to signal and
sat down in the stern and with his
oar he steered the boat toward us
| Suddenly. as if we had been aroused
from a dream, the man and the boat
turned into a block of pumice stone
on which were several branches Of ba-
mana trees. After drifting slowly al
along the side of the vessel before the
stupified sailors. il vanished out OF
sight. The men were so utterly rs.
tonished that some of them coI'd not
help crying out: But. by lingo, there
was a man on it. sure. We oil saw
him!

Her Idea of 1t.

story of woman journalist in the
north of England who wrote to II Lon

some royal personages to her town. The
editor of the paper, knowing her for II
good descriptive writer, gave the neces-
sary authority, with explicit informa-
tion as to the last moment for receiving
copy. The moment came, but not the
copy, and the editor had to go to press
without it. The next day, no cXplana-
tion having arrived, he dispatched to
his special correspondent particularly
} scathing and scomful letter. Then came

The Nonchnlnnt Canton Merchant.

Frequently on entering Canton
shop you will find its owner with u
book in one hand and pipe or fan in the
other and wholly absorbed in his studies.
You will be doomed TO disappointment
if you expect the smoker to start up at
once, all smiles and blandness, rubbing
his hands together rs he makesa shrewd
guess as to what he is likely to take out
of you and receiving you with obse-
quiousness or with rudeness according
ly. Quite tho reverse.
Your presence is apparently unnoticed
unless you happen to lift anything.
Then you hear that the fan has been ar
rested and feel that keen eye is bent
OH your movements all the while. But
it is not until you inquire for some ar
ticle that the gentleman, noN certain
that you mean to trade, will rise with
out hustle from his seat show you his
goods or state the price he means to
sell ut, with n polite yet careless air
which plainly says, ''If it suits you, we
make an exchange. "-'Through China

Nothing is more amusing than to
watch two acquaintances saluting in the
streets of japanese town. AS they
come in sight of each other they slack
en- their pace and approach with down
cast eyes and averted faces, as if neither
was worthy of beholding the other
Then they bow low, SO as to bring the
face on level with the knees on which
the palms of the hands are pressed.
A succession of Kissing sounds is next
made by drawing in the breath between
the closed teeth, interspersed with Il Sc
ries of complimentary phrases uttered
with great volubility in sort of under
toned falsetto, each trying to outdo his
friend in rapidity and extravaganza OF
language, while the palms are diligent-
ly rubbed against each other.
At last the climax is reached, and
each endeavors to give the precedence
to the other. For some moments, per
haps for n full minute, the polite con.
test continues. Then the ceremony alb
ruptly ends, as if the difficulty were ca
pable of none but brusque solution,
and the two pass Oh hurriedly, with O
look of extreme relief.

WAYS of Actors.

In the country one has few opportuni-
ties of meeting these children of nature.
Occasionally one sees an individual or
a company at the railway stations, and
then it is curious to note how instinc-
lively they treat the platform as Il stage
and take up the important positions on
it. wonder if acting now il as lucra-
tive u profession as it was uraer Eliza
beth. Shakespeare, we are told, got
nothing to speak Of for his plays, but
made his fortune as an actor, and AL
leyne another actor, after providing for
his family, founded Dulwich school.
Another curious point about actors is
that they should not be content with
their own names, like painters and
writers, but take names, the ladies es-
pecially, that belong to other people. Is
there no property in names? N. told mo

ARTICLES Made of Eelskin.

An eelslxin leather factory is situated
in quiet street in the neighborhood of
London bridge. Here are prepared and
manufactured various articles from the
skin of the common eel. The skins are
manipulated by numerous complicated
processes until they resemble and would
easily be taken for leather, although of
more glutinous and pliable nature
This strange commodity is cut into
long, thin strips and plated very close
ly together for whiplashes and to cover

sive whips. Certain kinds of lashes and

to observe the Englishman when travel
ing as compared with the Frenchman.
The former is calm, pupctual, precise
and with only the necessary quantity of
baggage. He will journey through
China with merely valise. He is not
impatient. He loves travel. 1t is to him
an inclination and q felt want. On the
other hand, the Frenchman when jour
neying is restless, nervous, impatient,
bored; the entire time he spends looking
furtively at his watch or consulting the
railway time table. He is always crowd
ed up with parcels in addition to his
portmanteau. He is, as n rule, in

In fact, he dislikes travel, which he
finds an ennui and fatigue.

A Glorious Sight.

A very amusing mistake was that
discovered by proofreader in work
written by Dean Stanley. The latter
wrote, to use colloquialism familiar
in printing establishments, the "vilest

scribing journey to Jerusalem, the
frequent recurrence of the name Of the
Holy City causing him to use the con-
traction "Jers. Narrating the approach
of his party to Jerusalem. Dean Stanley
described their ascent up the hills over
looking the city. He pictured in glow
ing language and striking phrases the
effect of the setting sun as it gilded the
hilltops in golden haze, concluding,
as the compositor put it, in these words,
"And as we slowly turned our faces to
the east our eyes met with the glorious
