Dangerous Company.


Behind us stood eight fellows. five
Of whom had muskets, and three heavy
b1udgeons They were apparently
Spanish seafaring men; but whether
contrabandistas of the lowest class,
q portion of a slaver's crew, or mere
" drunken brawlers, we could not at
first determine. However, they soon
made us aware that robbery was their
object, and that they were in no way
averse to little homicide If we inter
fered with their plans in the least
Some had their coarse, but glossy
and intensely black hair confined by
nets or cauls; others had only Bar
celona handkerchief round their
heads. The spots of blood upon these
together with several patches and dis
| colored eyes, showed us that these
modern Iberians had been fighting
| among themselves. Their attire, which
| consisted only of red or blue shirts
| and dirty canvas trousers, was rather
| dilapidated; but something of the pic
| turesque was impaired to it by the
sashes of glazing red and yellow wor-
/ sted which grit their waists, and in
| which they had long knives stuck con
spieuously.
| By their bearing, their dark glazing
| eyes, their muscular figures, their bare
arms, chest and feet, their bronzed,
| sallow and ugly visag es-and more
than all by their rags. which were red
client of garlic and coarse tobacco,
1t was evident that we had fallen into
unpleasant society. Several had silver
rings in their ears, and on the bare
chest of one I saw a crucifix marked
| either with ink or gunpowder.
These fellows had come from the in
ner or back part of the cavern, where
they had evidently been observing US
for some time before they so sudden =
appeared.

nose to my empty flack, and then plac-

stuck in his SASH
Taking up stone which lay at
hand, I was about to hurl It at the
head of the latter when the muzzle
of cooked musket pointed to my
breast, and the butt of another ap-
piled roughly to my back, admonished
me that discretion was the better part
OF valor.
Eel page de escoba-ha, hal" (the

Il remember well when, from a wild
forest, l saw before me a long blue
ridge. 1t was the Sierra Leonda-or
the Mountain of the Lioness, as the
niggers thereabout call it, the highest
in North or South Guinea. Glad was

old England waving on the fort and in
the bay. There was a sloop of war at

she fired the evening gun you would

especially, for she banged the door
right in my face, and called for the

Your very good health. Next time
we splice the main-braee ashore, l
hope 1t will be in Cuba" said Tom,
finishing the contents of my flask and
then becoming SO jovial that he broke
at once into an old sea-song, the last
two verses of which were somewhat to
this purpose:
II learned to splice, to reef and clew,
To drink my grog with the best Of the

And tell merry story;
And though l wasn't very big,
Aloft I'd climb, nor care a fig

1t has been discovered in st. Paul
that electric ground connections, made
by attaching wires to water pipes, not
only ruin the pipes by electrolysis, but
seriously interfere with the operation
of the water meters. In one case a
meter through which large quantity
of water was discharged failed to reg
lister. This was an extreme case and
easily detected, but what the effect has
been upon the indicators in cases
where the current IS not so strong the
officers of the water board have no
means to determine. To protect them
selves, however, they have ordered the
water pipes.

BEFORE TIME OF BELLS.
The Sounds which called to ohurOh il

The Sounds Which Called to Church in
olden Times.
Before the time of bells various in
struments were used to summon con-
gregations to worship. In Egypt they
are said to have followed a Jewish
custom in using a trumpet. In some
Oriental churches a kind of rattle
gave the signal. In monasteries monks
took it in turns to go round the cells
calling the inmates to their devotions
by knocking with a hammer, which
was called the awakening instru-
ment." Bells of one kind or another
are, however, of very great antiquity,
having been used in religious cere-
monies by many Of the ancient nations
as a means Of honoring their gods and
summoning them to the feasts. For
example, the feast of Osiris and Isis
was always announced by bells. Pliny
says that bells were in use long be-
fore his time, being called Tin tin
nabula." The use of small bells
(nolae) in England, says William of
Malmesbury, may be traced back as far
as the fifth century, and it is clear
from Bede that even those of the larg-
est kind (campanae1, such as sounded
in the air and called a numerous con-
gregation to divine service, were en-
ployed in England as early as the year
$50, being that in which the Abbot
Hilda died.

A wheat calendar, giving the time of
ripening in various countries, shows
how the grain has all seasons for its
own. Dwellers in the United States,
for example, where SO much of the
land is resting during the winter
months, find by the calendar that
wheat is at the harvest point of
growth in December for Burma and
New South Wales agriculturists jan
uary witnesses the same stage of de-
velopment in Australia, New Zealand,
Chile and Argentina; while February
and March are wheat harvest months
for Upper Egypt and India The list
for June, July and August is the full
est. There is one feature, almost in
eyitable, in the worlds annual wheat
story A shortage, real or fancied, is
apt to be reported in some quarters,
and then speculation sees its oppor-
tunity quite as soon as legitimate
dealing.

"Hush, Tom" said I, for WIS nB-
tening to a dis ussion which took
place among the Spaniards.
DO you understand their lingo?"
"A little"
What are they saying?" he asked,
with growing interest.
Il will tell you Immediately"
But as they ali spoke at once in the
sonorous Spanish of the Catalonian
coast, mingled with obscure slang and
nautical phrases, some time elapsed

while, how terrible were the thoughts
that filed my mind

US into that awful chasm, the deed
would never be known: until the day

"Where?"
Into the ventana, hombre!" was
the fierce response; land then no more

My blood grew cold at these words,
and l scarcely knew what followed,
till the first man who spoke came for
ward and addressed us.

cided that one of you, after swearing

The biograph is doing good service
to science. A hospital in New York
is adapting machine to record mi
nutely the actions of persons in epi-
leptic fits and similar affections. Nov
ing pictures have been taken showing
the walking movements in persons af-
fiicted with locomotor ataxia. When
these films are reproduced on the
screen doctors can study the symp-
toms carefully in the laboratory. The
movements of all kinds of microbes
are also being photographed, as we'll
as the action of healthy and diseased
eorpuseles. When these pictures are
magnified and thrown on the screen
the improvement or decline in the
condition of the patient can be told
One of the most interesting uses of
the biograph is to photograph and
show infinitely the growth and flower
ing of plants from the time of plant
ing until in full bloom. A picture is
taken every half-hour continually for
about thirty days and nights. In or
