More Piracy.

HONGKONG, Dec. 21.-A Canton cor
respondent sends us the following in
stances of recent piracies:
On the 18th inst a Suntak boat laden
with a cargo of rattan and carrying
passengers was about to start for
Aongmun. Pirates had ascertained
that there were several hundred dol
LIS N the boat, and four of them went
on board as passengers. The captain
having got wind of the character of
these passengers asked them to leave.
They, however, refused to go, and, pro-
ducing revolvers and pointing them at
the crew compelled them to get ready
to start. The alarm was raised, some
people on shore sounded gongs, and a
big crowd having collected, the pirates
were about to be seized. They, how
ever, slipped the ropes by which the
boat was moored to the jetty and SHOW
ed off. They were pursued by several
small boats, and just at this time a
steam-launch named the Hung Wing,
having a Kongmun boat in tow arriv-
ed and the people on shore shouted out
to he- to pursue the pirates. The crew,
being afraid of the vengeance of the
pirates, at first hesitated, but upon the
shore people threatening them and
commencing to fire upon Them, they
took up the chase. Another steam
launch, the Lee Yik, also arrived at this
time, and she too joined in the pursuit.
One pirate was killed, another jumped
into the water, and the rest escaped
On the 18th inst. a boat named the
Kut Chan, from Saichew to Canton,
was attacked about Wongkwakok, by
pirates who had boarded l.er as pas
sengers, and large amount of booty
was carried away.
About the same time another boat
from Suntak to Canton was attacked in
mid-voyage and between two and three
thousand dollars worth of property
was stolen.

Sheep thrive best in pasture where
moles are numerous. The mole holes

Uses of borax are extending year by

1t appears that the lifetime of the
mosquito is three months. Mosqui-
toes have been kept alive in captivity
for 80 days 1t is said that the ordi-
nary minnow, which feeds upon the
larvae of mosquitoes, is highly efficient
as a means for keeping down their
numbers.
A nonfreezing liquid is often needed
as for breaks of certain kinds for ar
tillery and ether uses. Glycerin and
alcohol being somewhat expensive. a
2S per cent. solution of chloride of
calcium is recommended. the cost of
this being slight, while it remains un-
changed at 25 degrees Fahrenheit be-
low zero, and does not attack metals.
The method of making sheet lead
for tea packing in Formosa is most
interesting. The lead is brought from
Australia in pigs. and after being
melted is poured between two large
tiles. the required degree of thick
ness for the sheet being obtained by
pressure of the feet. The sheet is
afterwards trimmed to suitable sizes
and shapes for soldering and is used
for packing.
The protection of beaches along
the New England coast is be-
ing successfully accomplished by the
"groyne system These ''groynes"
consist of a series of posts plant
ed firmly in the sand. with close
planks extending from post to post.
The "groyne' is constructed at right
angles to the beach. and it's position
prevents the waves acting on it in
juriously. Sand is intercepted by the
planking. rapidly forming a new beach
and preventing erosion.

RUDE, BUT CONVINCING,
Peter Bsnnstt's ElOquenos and ths
Meet 1t Had Upon the
Jury,

Burnham's Leading in Law gives
an amusing account of the trial of "a
case wherein doctor sued to recover
his fee. The case was tried in Georgia
many years ago. Robert Toombs APP
peared for the plaintiff and AleXandeE
II. Stephens for the defendant. When
the evidence had closed Mr. Stephens
told his client, the defendant, that the
plaintiff had made out. his case, and, ,
as there was no offset, it was useless
to proceed further, and the best thing
the defendant could do was to pay the
doctors claim. The defendant, who
was named Peter Bennett, scorned
this advice and Indignantly replied
that he had hired Mr.. Stephens to-
speak for him, and he must say some
thing. Mr.. Stephens answered tha,
there was nothing to say; that if Pc.
ter thought he could say anything he
might address the jury himself, where
upon Peter delivered himself as fol-
lows: "Gentlemen of the jury, you
and me is plain farmers, and if we
don't stick together these ere law
yers and doctors will jis skin and bury
us. This ere doctor was a new doc

" DON'T" thundered the doctor. ..

Peter. The doctor was silent and Pc.
ter proceeded:
"As | was sayin'. gintflmin, we.
farmers, when we sells our cotton,

we asks. and doctors amt none too
good to be put to the same rule. And
| don't believe this ere man is no doc

Look at my diploma, if you think
I'm no DOCTOR" again interposed the
plaintiff.
His 'di-piplo-mu.' Gintilmin, thar

"Gintilmin, he has ct chicken enough

The defendant proceeded along this,
line at some length, and, despite Mr.

in reply, Peter Bennett won.

DISASTERS IN THE CAUCASUS.
The Recent Earthquake There ONLY
Part of a Long Series.
From the New York Sum.

from the New YORK sun
The district of Akhalkalaki in the gov
eminent of Tifis in the Transcaucasus.
which has just been the scene of a disas-
trous earthquake. is, like all that part of
the world, subject to such visitations It
was only just little more than ten wears
ago that a great landslide, the result of an
earthquake, overwhelmed the village of
Khorenzik, In the Tortum valley about
eighteen miles from Erzeroum, and de-
stroyed nearly 400 Of its inhabitants, only
some twenty-five escaping. The circum-
stances of the disaster were very curious
On several occasions before the catastro-
phe took place the rumblings in the noun
tain alarmed the inhabitants, who sent a
deputation to the Kaimakam of the district
to request him to visit the village to select
a new site to which they might move At
ter the Turkish manner. he delayed going
until their importantly and their assurance
that the village had paid all its taxes made
him promise to meet the villagers on the
spot after prayers in the mosque on a par
ticular Friday. In the latter part of the
afternoon on the day arranged, while the
people were all assembled In the open space
in front of the mosque and some of the
boys and girls had been sent to the pastures
to drive in the cattle, the Kaimakam and
some other officials with an escort of zap
tiehs coming from the district town began
to descend by the road into the valley.
Then the face Of the mountain overhanging
the village began to move. and in few
disappeared from view. Only the few chill
dren away in the pastures escaped
When an examination of the ground took
place afterward it was found that the VIII
lage had been covered by the landslide to a
depth of from 100 to 800 feet and no at
tempt at rescue could be of any avail. At
the beginning of the century a similar con-
vulsion blocked the upper part of the Tor
tum valley, and formed lake Of consider
able size, and there is hardly year that
some changes do not take place in the con-
figuration of the country from earthquakes
landslides, and the giving away of the walls
Of the great reservoirs of water that exist
in the mountain ranges in the Caucasus
Examinations made some years ago by
Russian engineers to discover practicable
way for tunnel to connect the railways
north and south of the great Caucasus
chains resulted in the location Of several Of
these great natural reservoirs.
It Is probable that the full extent of the
Akhalkalaki catastrophe is not yet known,
for the country is so broken and the noun
tains SO precipitous that 1t will take some
time to obtain all the details of the loss Of
life and destruction Of villages.
