OF discipline, but to that he was in
different; neither did he think 1t like
ly that 1t would come to the ears of
the admiral, as the crew of the bort
were partial both to the commodore
and to him. He had desired a seaman
whom no could trust, to put into one
OF the boats a couple of muskets, and
a quantity OF ammunition, several
blankets, and various other articles,
besides provisions for two or three
months, for one person; and as soon
as it was dark the men pulled on shore
with the boat, found the commodore
on the beach waiting for them, and
supplied him with all these neces-
saries. They then rejoined their ship,
without the admiral's having the least
suspicion Of what had been done, and
shortly after the fleet made sail on a
wind, with their heads off shore. The
next morning the three smaller YES
sells parted company. and by sunset
had gained many miles to windward,
after which they were not again seen.
The admiral had sent for Philip to
give him his instructions, which were
very severe, and evidently framed so
as to be able to afford him hereafter
some excuse for depriving him of his
command. Among others, his orders
were, as the bort drew less water than
the admiral's ship, to sail ahead of
him during the night. that if they APP
preached too near the land as they beat
across the channel, timely notice might
be given to the admiral If in too shall
low water. This responsibility was
the occasion of Philips being always
on deck when they approached the
land on either side of the Straits. II
was the second night after the feet
had separated that Philip had been
summoned on deck as they were near
ing the land of Terre del Fuego; he
was watching the man in the chains
heaving the lead. when the officer of
the watch reported to him that the
admlral's ship was ahead Of them in
stead OF astern. Philip made inquiry
as to when he passed, but could not
discover; he went forward and saw
the admiral's ship with her poop-light,
which, when the admiral was astern,
was not visible. What can be the ad-
mirals reason for this?" thought
Philip; "has he run ahead on purpose
to make a charge against me of neg
lect Of duty? 1t must be so. Well, let
him dc as he pleases; he must wait
now till we arrive in India. for | shall
not allow him to desert me; and with

Dangerous to Hypnot,ze.

The late Professor Drummond, when
quite child, discovered that he could
hypnotic people. At a birthday party
little girl refused to play the piano.
Drummond happened to catch her eye,
and said. Play" To his surprise she
rose obedently, went to the piano, and
played. At another time he hypnotized
a boy, gave him poker for a gun, and
said, I'm a pheasant; shoot me-" The
boy did so, and Drummond, to keep up
the Illusion, fell. whereupon the boy,
seeing the bird" move. made as IL to
hit 1t over the head with the poker.
The hypnotizer had just time TO stop
the magnetized sportsman.

CHAPTER Xxx

Philip went forward; they were now,
as he imagined, very near to the land.
but the night was dark and they could
not distinguish it. For half an hour
they continued their course, much to
Philips surprise, for he now thought
he could make out the loom of the
land, dark as it was. His eyes were
constantly fixed upon the ship ahead,
expecting every minute that she would
go about; but no, she continued her
course, and Philip followed with his
own vessel
I'VE are very close to the land, sir"
observed Wander Hagen, the lieutenant,
who was the officer of the watch
so it appears to me; but the ad-
miral is closer, and draws much more
water than we do" replied Philip.
Il think l see the rocks on the beam
to leeward, sir"
Il believe you are all right" re-
piled Philip; 81 cannot understand
this. Ready about, and get a gun
ready-they must suppose us to be
ahead of them, depend upon it,"
Hardly had Philip given the order
when the vessel struck heavily on the
rocks. Philip fastened aft; he found
the rudder had been unshipped, and
the vessel was immovably fixed. His
thoughts then reverted to the admiral
WAS he on shore?" He ran forward,
and the admiral was still sailing on
with his poop-light. about two cables
length ahead of him.
perplexed beyond measure.
The gun was fired, and Immediately
followed up by the flash and report
of another gun close astern of them.
Philip looked with establishment over
the quarter, and perceived the adj
miral's ship close astern to him, and
evidently on shore as well as his own
"Merciful Heaven!" exclaimed Philip
rushing forward, what can this be ?"
He beheld the other vessel, with her
light ahead, still sailing on and leav-
ing them. The day was now dawning
and there was sufficient light TO make
out the land. The bort was on shore
not fifty yards from the beach. and
surrounded by the high and barren
rocks; yet the vessel ahead was APP
parently sailing on over the land. The
seamen crowded on the forecastle
watching this strange phenomenon;
at last it vanished from their sight.
That's the Flying Dutchman, by all
that's holy" cried one of the seamen,
jumping off the gun.
Hardly had the man uttered these
words when the vessel disappeared.
Philip felt convinced that 1t was
so, and he walked away aft in very
perturbed state. 1t must have been
his fathers fatal ship which had de-
coyed them to probable destruction.
He hardly knew how to act. The adj
mirals wrath he did not wish, just at
that moment. to encounter. He sent

Immediate Collapse Does Not Follow
Even when the Mark Is Hit
With regard to the effects of gun
shots upon balloon, the following ex-
periments were made, says the Pail
Mall Magazine. A shot was fired from
Lebel rife at a balloon at an alti-
tude of 500 feet. 1t only penetrated the
fabric below the equator, and no APP
preciable result ensued After this
many shots were fired, several pene-
trating the balloon and passing out
near the upper valve. After a lapse
Of six hours the balloon descended
quietly to the ground, by reason of the
loss Of gas through the bullet holes
But it appeared that, whatever the
number of shots, the loss of gas was
never sufficient to cause the balloon to
fall rapidly. On another occasion a
shrapnel shell was fired from a seven
FOUNDER Armstrong gun at a balloon
having an altitude of 1900 feet, but
this being above the limit of elevation
Of the gun, it was impossible to hit 1t.
In any case, had it been possible to
do so, the shell would have penetrated
the balloon below the equator and
passed out again so low down as to
cause no serious loss of gas. Indeed,
a balloon loses but little of its lifting
power-that is, little of its gas-if the
hole is made below the equator. Once
a gore was split up to within few
feet of the upper valve; at first the
balloon fell rapidly, then the wind
filled out the Tapping fabric, and it
sciled quietly TO earth.

1 States.

From this time on officials of the
Louisiana Board of Health are de-
termined to follow with utmost vi
gilance the movements of all dis
charged troops into this country
from Cuba or Porto Rico, and
none will be permitted to enter
this State until they are able to
produce evidence showing that
they had remained in quarantine
a proper length bf time. This de-
Termination was reached imme-
diately upon thereceipt of Presi-
dent Souchon of the State Health
Board of Telegram from DR.. G.
p. Wilkinson, now at Savannah,
containing the Information that
two companies of troops from Ha-
vana would enter The country yes
terday at Tampa without disinfec-
tion, in spite Of tho fact that it is
we'll known that tle sanitary con-
dition of Havana is bad.
DR.. Souchon acted with COM
mcndable promptnes. He at once
took steps to prevent any of these
'troops crossing the Louisiana State
line in the event that they turned
back upon US, and also wired the
contents of Dr.. Wilkinson's tele-
gram to Surgeon General Wyman
at Washington and that official re-
piled that the proposed landing of
troops at Tampa without thorough
disinfection of baggage and equip
ments was in violation of regula-
tions and action had already been
taken to prevent it by the tressu-
ry and war departments. The
health authorities at Savannah and
Charleston will also refuse admis-
sion to the troops landing at Tam.
pa and the soldiers will be COM
PEELED to 60 into a camp Of deten-
tion instead of continuing their
journey homeward, and remain in
quarantine for at least ten days.
Gen. Wyman declares that the
landing of the troops at
Tampa without disinfection was in
violation of regulations. Some
one then is responsible for ignot-
ing the regulations at the immi-
nent risk of spreading disease
throughout a large section of the |
country, and the guilty party
should be punished severely. The
officials of the Louisiana Board of |
Health are deserving of praise for
the prompt and determined action
they have taken to protect this
State against an invasion of dis
ease. Or the other hand it is ra- |
