Headlong we stumbled over piles of

Whether he meant guerrillas ! did

Ali was dark and still when we ran
along the stone mole Of Santa Cruz.
Fortunately at that late hour there was
no official to question or modest US; ana
we could see the brig anchored about
half mile distant, with the lantern
still burning at the foremasthead. The
light on the castle had disappeared:
We soon found small punt at the

OF It without leave, cast loose the

AN EARTHQUAKE SCIENTIST.

Tommy Had Found tho Almanac In the
Carrot. 5.i..
This occurred just before the last
full moon at pretty residence on
Trumbull avenue. says the Detroit Free
Press. The head of the house is of a
scientific turn of mind, loves to inves-
tigate the phenomena of nature and
takes it as part Of his duty to impart
his knowledge to the rest Of the fam
lily. On the night in question he found
an almanac on the table, which he
reads. Turning the leaves carelessly
while thinking about going to bed, he
was surprised to come upon the in
formation that there was to be an
almost total eclipse Of the moon that
night, and that it would be visible
from this part Of the globe at ! q. m.
In his excitement he was about to call
the rest Of the folks, who had retired,
but on second thought he hunted up
broken bits Of glass and went to
smoking them, just as though it were
the blazing sun which was to be
viewed. This done he watched the
clock vigilantly until 1t was time to
wake the others. They had none Of
his enthusiasm, but went yawning and
shivering to the back porch, from
which the best view was to be OBJ
tanned. The moon never looked bright
er than it did at O'Clock. It must
be that the almanac meant o'clock
standard time, he explained nervously,
and for another half-hour he kept his
eyes glued on the silvery orb. Not a
spot darkened it's surface. Ten min
utes later his wife mutinied and her
sleepy brood followed her into the
house, despite his protest. He fol-
lowed them and again took UP the al
manac. Found that in the attic to-
day." explained 6-year-old Tommy.
Slowly the father read aloud from the
back until he came to eighteen hum
bred and fl" when he ripped the
book to fragments and began saying
things that caused the mother to rush
the children upstairs.

The progressing impression which
the sultan is universally admitted to
produce on those who are privileged
to come into contact with him ID
doubtless in part due to that charm OF
manner, that quiet dignity. so free
from angular self-assertion, which II

with great expedition, and worked out
Of the harbor; and when the hot sun,
which erewhile had lit UP the vast
continent Of Africa to the east OF us,
rose from the ocean, we saw her black
hull and white canvas shining IN his

"You say, Marc, that craft is q Costa

Except across the Peak Of Teneriffe.
where cloud of white vapor floated
in mid-air like a permanent cymar or
girdle, and above which some thou
sand feet of the mighty cone lowered
into the blue immensely of space, mel
lowing from green and purple to
faint gray tint, the sky was without a
cloud. 81
The waves danced and sparkled In
the morning sunshine, the fresh breeze
swept pleasantly over their whitening
tops and whistled through our rigging,
as we ran along the shore with consid-
cradle speed; and now our hearts beat
lightly, for the broad, free ocean was
around us, and on clearing the dan
gerous rocks at Punta de Anaga by
giving them. wide berth, we felt the
heavier swell of the Atlantic as we
brought the larboard tacks on board,
and ran, close-hauled, on taut bow
line between the Isles OF Teneriffe and
Palma, keeping the weatherage Of the
Costa Rican, and leaving her at the
same time fast and far astern.
We had a delightful run through the
fertile Archipelago of the Fortunate
Isles, and, after clearing San Josef,
found the wind coming more aft. Long
after night had closed in and darkness
had enveloped all the sea and the Isle
OF Teneriffe, the cone Of the peak
shone redly in midair, with the light
OF the sun that had set in the western
waters Of the Atlantic.
d For the whole Of that day we had
run fast through the water, making at
least seven knots an hour of the log
line, but midnight came before we saw
the last of the mighty Peak Of Adam.
