mlshaps While Examining the Ground
Under lake Miehlaan.


Richard Raddatz, inventor Of the
Haddatz submarine boat, and two en-.
ginetrs employed ly him for thr fp-
Grafton of his craft had a thrilling
and dangerous experience in Lake
Michigan last Saturday. from The ef-
fects of which neither he, his men.
nor his boat, fortunately. suffered any
injury.
For some weeks past Mr.. Rad atz
has been engaged In a survey OF e
bottom of Lake Michigan, off the ar
Dor entrance. To the southeast aud
about half n mile from the harliUr en-
trance, there lies in the lake bottom a
red clay bank. Beyond and around 1t
is a clean, sandy bottom, varying in
depth from twenty-five TO fifiy-flve
/ feet. Near the bank last Saturday Mr.
4 Raddatz sank his bOat In what proved
+ afterward to be a depression In the
bottom. Supposing that the ground
was comparatively level, he. ordered
the craft ahead, when suddenly she
thrust her pointed PROV into a submar-
inc bank.
The craft was moving at a speed Of
about four miles an hour, and the
shock Of the collision was sufficient to
throw the occupants Of the boat with
unpleasant force against the object in
front of them. The boat was stuck fast
and 1t was only after half an hours
clurning of the propeller that she was
/ loosened.
The same day the boat was lowered
/ to the bottom about three miles from
shore In a line directly eastward from
| the harhor entrance, upon what proved
/ later to be a dark clay of an adhesive
/ aff NuA
made to raise the boat, she would not
move, to the CONSERVATION Of the IN
| mates Here they were caught longer
! than mt the other spot Investigation
showed that no injury had been done
| the machinery, and that every thing
was apparently in working order 1t
| appeared that the craft had been per-
/ mitted to rest too heavily upon the
| sticky clay, and was being held fast.
1 The operation Of the propeller, which
/ Is driven by new and powerful ma
chinerv in the boat. threw up the mud
! in a dark cloud about the boat and
she finally lifted clear of the dangerous
/ bed. while her inventor proceeded at
| once on his return to the dock in the
| Kinnickinnic River,
The surveys taken by Mr.. Raddatz,
/ the first extensive ones he had made,
show that for about three miles from
the harbor mouth there lies clay
bank on the bottom Of the lake, al
! though the surround NJ land IS sand
bottom. Apparently this clay was de
| posted where it lies by scows or
washed there by the Milwaukee Riv-
er. To the northeast is a rock bottom
covering large area. This is near the
intake tunnel. The water there is clear
as crystal and the rocky bottom plain
| ly visible. About three miles out the
water has an average depth of fifty
/ five feet.--Milwaukee Sentinel.

a district Judge in Arkansas. At o
certain term Of court a murder tria,
came before him, and the most impor.
tant witness for the prosecution was
colored hoy only 10 years old. The law
yers for the defence set out to show
that the boy was too young to under
stand the nature of an oath, and there
fore was not compGent as a witness.

GUIDE Posrs OF The BLIND.
sightless Man Tells How He Is Helped
to Make His Way About.


There is n blind man living in the
heart of the old quartet who walks
nearly every day to little restaurant
near Canal street, says the New tr-
leans Times Demociat. The distance
each way is fr0p sixteen to twenty
blocks, according to his route, and to
see him, sanntering carelessly along
one would neTeri suspect his infirmity.
Talking yesterday with an inquisl-
tive reporter he declared that he saw
with hls/nose and feet, and this was
the way he explained it: "When n man
has bis sight" he said, ''the smells of
the street are all mixed up. but when
he's blind he learns to separate them
The smells of the shops are almost as
plain to me now as the signs used to
be over the doors. Some of them you
would hardly suppose to exist. Take
dry goods store for instance, it sme lis
of cloth, and has II very peculiar odor.
Iron and tin have smells Of their own,
and ! can tell hardware store imme-
diately. | pass two book stalls nearly
every day, and scent them yards off
by the old books. Then there are
great many iDdescribable odors by
which | know this place and that. Of
course, my feet are my principal guide,
and I've been over the same ground
so often that | have learned every in
equality by heart, but ! couldn't get
along without either nose or feet alone
They work together. and where one
fails the other helps out. Between
them they make very good eyes The
secret of my stepping out is this: I've
learned how to stop People who can
see hurl themselves forward like loco
motives. That's why the shock is al
ways so unexpectedly violent when
you collide with another person. / put
no extra power whatever in my move
ments. and if the toe of my boot
touches some unknown obstacle
stop still instantly"
This clever blind man leads very
/ tranquil life. He has a small income,
and lives with granddaughter. A ser
want is hired especially to read to him
every afternoon. Many of those who
know him are unaware Of his blind
ness.

Reaaar Jim Was Rich.

James Grayson, former Missourian
who has been living in the Usage In
dian country nearly a quarter of a
century, and who was thought to be
quite poor, died last week. He lived
in a small hut, 10 feet by u, and had
a wife. His apartments were very din

dressed, and was really beggar ev-
erywhere he went. He was known as
"Beggar Jim" On his deathbed he
called his wife to his bedside and whis-
pered something to her, and after
death the feather bed on which he died
was cut open and $4,000 In gold ta-
ken out. Since that time other money
and some valuables have been disc6v-

Strange Beasts, Flesh as Food.

not lose much from the gastronomic
point of view by our rover-fastidiousnes
In eating. One who has recently exper-
imented upon the flesh Of strange mi
mails says that the crocodile thou gh
tasting somewhat of musk, is yet far
from unsavory meat. Elephants foot
Is a dellcacy well known to African
travellers. and the flesh Of lions is
said to taste well, differing therein
from that of the tiger, which is dry
and full of nerves. The rhinoceros is
said to furnish n sort of cross between
pork and beef, while all are agreed
that the monkey is capital eating. and
better than the best rabbit The opos-
sum and the kangaroo only require to
be known to be appreciated, while
the flesh of the seal, though rather
dark, is extremely nutritious, and
above all, very digestible. All these
animals which, although unfamiliar 10
most of us have in themselves nothing
repulsive or unsightly. When we come
to hear thar locusts are at least as
good eating as shrimps, and that nine
tenths of the pOtted lobster in ciicula-

Wilmington Nearo,s plea.

T. G. Miller, one of the negroes who
last November were driven out of WI
mingtOn, N. G., writes a letter to per.
sons there asking that he be allowed to
return to wind up his business affairs.
He says lie Is summoned in a civil
suit In the Superior Court and would
like to return: that he was sent away
November 10, for things he was sup.
posed 20 have done or said, and for
which he is now sorry; that he owns
over $4,000 worth Of property in VIII
mington, and has lost over $1,000 by
his absence, that he does not want to
return to talk politics or things of the
past, but to remain a short while TO
attend strictly to his own business, and
begs the people to grant this privilege.
C, p. Lockney, great republican
lawyer and local politician there, who
also left last November, has returned.
He is the only one who has done so,
with one exception. and the latter was
given a solemn warning by a large
party to depart Washing on
Post.
