Sellinger came out of his cabin. He was

SYNOPSIS.

Master Ardick, just reached his majority
and thrown upon his own resources, after
stating his case to one Houthwick a ship
master. is shipped as second mate on the
Industry, bound for Havana. Mr.. Tym,
the supercargo, describes sail. The strange
vessel gives chase, but Is disabled by the
Industry's guns. In the fray one of the
crew is killed and Houthwick is seen to
fall. The captain is found to be dead, but
the Industry is little damaged: Sellinger,
first mate takes charge and puts into Sid
mouth to secure new mate. Several days
later. when we'll out to sea, an English
merchantman is met. whose captain has
letter addressed to jeremiah Hope, at
Havana. The crew Of the vessel tell
strange tales Of the buccaneer Morgan,
who is sailing under the kings commits
sion to take Panama. One night little
later, the English vessel having proceeded
on her course. a bit of paper is slipped into
Ardick's hand by one Of the sailors.

LUMINOUS SUGAR.
The Generation of Light Occurs DUR
ing the Process of Crystal
lixatiOn. o..

There are phenomena attending the
formation of crystals which are appar-
emily quite distinct from chemical ac-
ton. When, for example, a hot saturat-
ed solution of arcenious acid is al
lowed to cool, the act of capitalization
is accompanied by fash of light. AS
each crystal forms there is a short,
sharp glow, indicating the release of a
certain amount of latent energy in the
form of light radiation. A related
phenomenon would seem to be the case
when two pieces of cane sugar are
quickly rubbed together. The flash is
perfectly distinct and bluish-white in
color, the light extending into the sub
stance itself far below the surface,
Some interesting experiments on this
manifestation have recently been made
by Mr.. John Burke, NJ. A., the results
of which were communicated to the
recent meeting of the British -Associa-
ton of Science at Bristol. BY mounting
disks of loaf sugar on lathe and
projecting hammer on the rotating
surface an almost continuous iuminos-
ity was obtained. The wearing away
of the sugar is compensated for by ar
ranging gradual approach Of the
piece to the hammer in exact accord
ance with the amount of sugar scraped
away. In this way the spectrum has
been observed and photographed. From
these observations it would appear
that the luminosity cannot be due to the
impacts, the indication being that the
light produced is due either to some
change in the configuration of the crys-
tails of sugar or to some sort of chem
ical action set up between the sugar
and the surrounding air at the freshly
formed surface. The fact, however,
that the surrounding medium does not
seem to affect either the color or III
tensity of the luminosity suggests that
the effect is not due to any influence of a
chemical nature of the surrounding
medium on the sugar, but favors the
former hypothesis that the lum. osity
is due to some structural disturbance
in the sugar itself. This ingenious and
pretty study is being pursued further
and the result should lead to some in
teresting observations. Light is SO
often manifestation of physical
change that it is probable some day we
shall derive it for illuminating pur-
posses in totally different, much sim
pier, and less clumsy way than obtains

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intlamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intlamed you have rumblng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

CURIOSITY AND IMITATION.
They Lead q Crowd of People In Chi
cagO to Chase an InnO-
cent Boy.

A man has only to stare blankly into
space for single instant on the streets
of Chicago to attract the attention of
two or three curious pedestrians, who
direction and endeavor to discover
the cause of the original interest.
They in turn are joined by clus
ters of others, who readily for
get their business and pleasures in
order to form part of the ever-widen-
ing group of curious gazers. If wom-
an stops to pick up pin, fearful if she
neglects that economical practice. that

minutest scrutiny and the surrounding
territory will be examined as carefully
as if it contained hidden treasures.
A small boy almost started a panic
one crowded Saturday noon downto
by running as fast as he could for e
block on State street from Washington
north to Randolph in order to make u
fast train to reach the football field IN
time for the Saturday game. State
street was unusually crowded even for
Saturday noon, and everyone, seeing
the boy run as if policeman were aft
er him, started in pursuit. They fol-
lowed him north on State to Randolph,
then east as fast as they could fly to
Michigan avenue.
The chase was a wildly exciting game
of fox and geese, but the boy eluded
all pursuers, as he was able to dodge
cable cars and wagons with the agile
facility of youngster. Totally uncon-
scious of the crowd in pursuit, he
dashed breathlessly north on Michigan
avenue and through the turnstiIes of
the railroad station just in time to
catch the train.

would have been able to turn the laugh

coil Of small cord, after which he
whispered in my ear:
Before aught else is done we must
secure the mate. That stands clear in
my mind. And we may not wait to
summon the captain, lest the fellow
take the alarm. Mark me, will knock
on his door, and say desire to speak
with him. On his appearance we will
each clap pistol to his head-take
you this-and compel him forth and
bind him."
He softly opened the door, and we
stole out. AS !. crossed the threshold.
I heard sharp, sudden little knock
ing from somewhere in the shadow of
the table. 1t gave me start, and I
glanced that way, only to discover that
which affected my nerves vast deal
more. A tall but stopped figure made
a scramble from all fours to it's feet,
and with one long, straddling bound
was bursting out of the companion.
"Pradey!" yelled the supercargo,
and let fly with his pistol.

thereupon, with shock of alarm and
modification, I made dash of it also,
and few through the open door. The
mate was bounding off the quarter
deck to the main, shouting out some
thing which did not catch, and in a
veritable fury I let 60 my pistol.
could not have made close shot, but
his yelling increased, and now could
see the crew pouring out of the fore
castle hatch. and the watch running
toward him. I had the sense to per-
ceive that all was up, and sullenly re-
treated, stopping at the companion
to shoot the bolt of the door.
When I turned about, though the
place was still little smoky, l made
out both the supercargo and the cap
tain, the latter in his shirt, with
drawn sword in his hand.
"Pray you Dress" said Mr.. Tym, with
excellent GOODNESS, as the captain stood
fast, glaring fiercely toward the COM
panion. "Nay, we are safe enough for
the moment" he added, glancing down
at the door leading into the tween
decks, which 1 now perceived he had
secured.
"The abominable villain" growled
Sellinger, relaxing his warlike attitude,
however, and lowering his point. II

presently"
He withdrew into his berth, and Mr..
Tym said to me, almost humorously:
"Abominable or not, he played a
shrewd part. and is like to reap the
reward of it.. A very pretty piece of
eavesdropping, indeed"
"How will it be with us now?" I
asked, aloud. "Can we make suffi-
cient defense, think you?"
"Nay." he answered, coolly. mot if
they stand to it with heart. You con-
eeive that they have in all points the
advantage. They can starve us out
for we have nothing beyond a few bis
cults, and no drink but wine-or can
batter in the doors, and bear us down
by main force; or they can set a watch
upon us, and keep us boxed up here till
they reach some convenient point, when
they can scuttle the ship, and leave us
in the plight of so many inconvenient
kittens"
