An unusual accident befell a young
workwoman on the Boulevard Belle
vile, Paris, recently. The girl, who
had been turned out of her room be-
cause she could not pay her rent, was
wandering through the streets till she
arrived on the boulevard, where she
crawled for refuge beneath the floor
of a menagerie.
She drew so near to one Oft the cages
that its occupant, which was a large
panther, Immediately put its claws
through the bars and held her firmly.
The girls screams aroused the staff of
the menagerie, who rushed to her
rescue. They labored for several min
utes to make the panther release its
prey, but they did not succeed until a
red hot iron bar was used.
The poor girls arm and shoulder
were fearfully lacerated, but the ply
sicians say she will recover.

CAPTAIN cHADWICK'S VIEWS,
Inc Value of Arinor in Sea Fight Was
Not Tested ut Santiago.


Armor played but small part; the
ten-inch water-line belts of the Viz
caya class were not struck by any
heavy shell, and the Colon was struck
but five times by anything, her sur
render being due to her inability to
keep up the effort to escape and the
fact that she had no chance against
the overpowering force of four heavy
ships in pursuit. Her captain states
that she was not struck after leaving
the vicinity of the harbor. When the
thirteen-inch shells of the Oregon,
fired from a range of 5000 yards
somewhat over five land miles-began
to fall near, she at once saw the hope
lessness of her case.
The eleven-inch guns in the turrets
of the Vizcaya class were en- barbette,
that IS, they looked over the turret
and not through port in the turret.
They had an overhead protection of a
spherical two-and- -three-quarter inch
shield covering the entire turret.
This, in the Oquendo, had been
pierced by an eight-inch shell at the
edge of the opening for the gun, which
had burst inside and had killed every
one in the turret. When boarded the
second day after the action all were
found at their posts, petty officer in
the attitude of aiming. This occur
renee illustrates what was strongly
borne in upon us, viz. that no armor
should be used which is not suf1i cient
to protect. Light protection sufficient
to burst shell is far worse than none.
In the case mentioned the she'll if
the curved shield had not been there
to burst it, by the resistance offered
sufficient cause the fuse to act, might
have passed over harmlessly. A six
inch had passed through shield of
a five and q half-inch broadside gun
of the Maria Teresa, and bursting
must have killed the entire gun $
crew. Ofcourse such shields as men
toned will protect from ordinary shell
fragments, but the larger fragments
OF moderate-sized shell have enor-
nous cutting power, the anchor chain
OF the Iowa, for example, the links of
which are of iron two and half inches
in diameter, being cleanly cut in two
by a fragment of five and half
inch shell, which burst on her berth
deck.-F. E. Chadwick, commanding
tho flagship New York, in Scribner's.

M. De Rougemont, the modern
Robinson Crusoe, whose story of adj
ventures in the wilds of Australia and
elsewhere is just now the talk of Lon
don, has been telling, among other
things, how a white man may become
persona grata to savage. NJ. De
Rougemont, who has lived so long
among the aborigines that he learned
to understand them thoroughly, pleads
against the ignorant habit which
white men have of shooting at black
men as soon as they see them.
All that it is necessary to do if you
wish to make a savage your friend is
to clap the hands smartly on the back
OF ones trousers, at the same time
putting out ones tongue. This is a
universal sign, in the sign language
which all the blacks understand, that
the stranger wishes to sit with them,
to eat with them and to hob-nob with
them generally. If to these signs the
stranger will only add few steps of
lively jig, accompanying himself, if
possible, upon whistle, the severest
savage will be instantly placated and
will abandon his hostile attitude.

The discovery Of the Alaska gold
fields, while it has added many MIL
lions to the world 5 goid supply, has
caused a great scarcity OF Alaska furs
in the worlds market. For many
years the chief employment of natives
of Alaska has been trapping, and they
have supplied the chief part of land
furs. Since the Klondike discovery
and the great influx of prospectors
and traders, the Indians have found
it far more profitable to hire as pack
ers, guides and woodchoppers. They
have abandoned trapping almost en-
tirely, and the export of furs from
Alaska, which used to amount to
$3.50, 600 yearly, last year only reached
500, 900. This has caused a scarcity
of that class Of furs in every market.

KISSED BY BISMARCK.

ga Visit to Bismarck" is described
in ST. Nicholas by Frederick w.
Wendt. Mr.. Wendt says:
had reached Hamburg after a most
disagreeable trip across the Atlantic.
Incessant storms at sea have a bad
effect upon the ordinary mortal. When,
during eight days, one has seen trunks
and bags playing hide-and-seel with
one another, and everything from a
sponge to goat jumping imaginary
hurdles in a steamer state-room, the
blissful steadiness of hotel on land,
invites to repose. / was, therefore,

next door and "had'' to be seen; what
"Mister" wanted was sleep-good,
honest, straightforward sleep, not the
imitation slumber which was the near
est that could be found while ahoat on
a tossing ocean steamer.
The poor PORTER was surprised,
nonplussed; but he had his revenge
when, the next morning Sunday, I
rang my bell at seven o'clock, and in
quired after the time table to Fried

''Ah, it would be difficult-very
difficult for Mister to see Bismarck.
The Rhenish provinces would have
the day and the reception"

AS the soft clam lies in his burrow
he pushes his tubes up into the sea-
water above and sucks in stream
which bears not only the microscopic
particles of organic matter that serve
as his food, but also the oxygen which
he requires. Flowing out the current
carries with it the excrementitious
matter. With this animal it is never
long between drinks, which may ac-
count for the adage, Happy as a
clam
In the spring the eggs of the clam
issue into the cavities of the outer
gills. Here they develop and form
little papery shells. At this stage the
young clans are just about big enough
to be seen by the naked eye. Pres
emily they are discharged into the
water, and by this time they are
ready to take care of themselves,
anchoring themselves to the bottom
by slender threads and holding on
against the current Soft clans be-
tray their hiding places to the know
ing hunter by emitting occasional
squirts of water when the retiring
tide has left their banks bare. Hogs
root them ont and devour great guam
titles of them. They are a widely dis
tributed and important food product,
and it would be great pity if this
element of marine wealth and indus
try should be wiped out. New York

An extraordinary escape from Jail
was made the other week by a young
man from the Pentonville prison.
This prison is one of the great houses
of detention for all sorts of criminals,
and it is situated in the very heart of
London, Eng. In some way or other
a man got out of his cell, scaled the
walls, several of them, and dropped
in safety to the ground. He was at
once pursued, as a laborer employed
in the prison was applying for admis-
sion at the main gate Just at the mo-
ment when the prisoner dropped from
the outer wall In five minutes time
at least hundred persons had taken
up the hue and cry; but the convict,
who, it seems, can run like hare and
has marvellous capacity for climbing
up walls, managed to evade his pur-
suers and was soon lost in the maze
of streets surrounding the prison. -
