sea captain to me the other day.
'Why, lots," I replied, "the brier
root, for instance-at least, if it's good
-ironwood, too, and one or two others. "
II don't mean those, - he said. ''But
have you ever seen lot Of common
deal that fire had no effect on?" He
pulled from his pocket morsel Of what
looked like white Norwegian deal and
handed it to me. I was surprised at the
weight. "Put it in the gas fame" he
said.

the surface there was no effect.
''That bit Of wood" went on the

one Of my boats. We were whaling in
the South seas and harpooned big

The creature sounded, the rope fouled

below the surface. The whale, rose
again and was killed, and a portion Of
the boat was recovered from the line

'Apropos of the Portuguese refs (pro-

Immediately had his little account

they come out again.
In captivity the weather frog is kept
in glass jar or globe, which is cover

young soldiers and dressed most Of them

also with daggers and pistols inside
their clothes, they were ferried across

Then, according to arrangement, We're

people ran in feigned terror toward the
fort. The gates were at once thrown
open to receive them. They all streamed

few minutes were in possession of the
