Under WATER.

Strange acquaintance are to be
made under water. H. Phelps Whit.
marsh, who for a time adopted the
calling Of pearl fisher in Australian
waters, tells this story Of meeting a
submarine monster:
ut was a muddy day, and every
thing in consequence looked blurred
and exaggerated. In the yellow distance
l saw an immense dark object moving
slowly toward me. AS it came nearer
made out a central body with several
great arms, or feelers, waving rhyth-
mically. My heart was in my mouth.
81 felt sure it was ali octopus. Then,
when was about to stir up the mud
at my feet to avoid being seen, | dis
covered that the enemy was nothing
more than Il fellow diver. The feeers
l had imagined We're his arms, legs and
lines.
"A shadowy giant about - feet
high, with huge hands and Il head like
small barrel, was approaching. He
walked slowly, his heavy boots raising
the mud behind him like a cloud of
dust, and his great central eye cleaned
darkly. Although knew him to be a
man, it was with difficulty that re.
Trained from taking to my heels. At
sight of me he, too, was startled. but
he quickly recovered, and we shook
hands. Then we nodded, grinned
showed each other the state CT our
bags and parted"

An Italian doctor named Louis Cor.
tusio, who died in the eighteenth cen.
fury. left some curious instructions as
to the manner of his burial. This gen.
tleman, by his will. forbade his rela.
tions to weep at his funeral on pain of
being disinherited and appointed him
or her who should laugh the longest
and loudest the principal heir and leg
atee. Not stitch of black was to be
displayed either in the house in which
he should die or in the church in which
he should be buried. They were both
to be strewn with flowers and green
boughs on the day of his funeral. In
stead Of the tolling of bells lively mu-
sic was to accompany his body to the
church. and so MINISTRIES were to march
with the clergy sounding their flutes,
trombones and trumpets. The bier
was to be carried by II marriageable
girls clothed in green. to each of whom
the testator bequeathcd sum of mon
ey for her dowry. Lastly. no one in
the procession was to wear black. All
these orders We're absolutely carried
into effect.-Househoid Words.

The Earle Got the Fish.

At this junction of the thoroughfare
and Island lake on dead pine more
than 100 feet high sat white headed
eagle. In the air large fishhawk was
sailing over the water looking for his
dinner 200 or 800 feet below him.
What penetrating orbs of vision ma
ture has endowed this bird with!
There, he gives his lightninglike shot
to the water, seems almost submerged,
only to reappear with a four pound
pike In his talons. Slowly he rises,
going toward the woods. where he
hopes to enjoy his well earned meal,
but he has reckoned without his host.
The king Of birds has been watching
his every movement and, II found sue
cessful, Is in readiness to exact that
tribute which the stronger always de-
mands and comIels from the weak.
Almost quick as thought the eagle is
pursuing the hawk, and for a little
while merry chase it is. But the
eagle Is the master, and the hawk in
stinctively feels it, as after sudden.
violent swerve, only just to cvade the
terrible claws of the now enraged
eagle, he drops the prize and slowly
flies to the other end of the lake.
There is no need for haste now, as
the master was after tribute, not the
hawk. Payment having been made by
relinquishing valuable property, the
eagle once more displays his wonderful
activity by catching the pike before it
strikes the water and then as leisurely
to cover to gormandize.-Forest and
Stream

Straw is put to strange uses in ia
pan. Most of the horses are shod with
straw. Even the clumsiest of cart
horses wear straw shoes. In their
case the shoes are tied around the
ankles with straw rope and are made
of the ordinary rice straw. braided so
that they form sole for the foot about
half an inch thick. These soles cost
about Il half penny per pair, and when
they are worn out they are thrown
away. Every cart has stock of fresh
new shoes tied to the horse or to the
front of the cart. and in Japan it was
formerly the custom to measure dis
tance largely by the number Of horse
shoes It took to cover the distance. So
many horseshoes made days jour-
ney, and the average shoe lasted for
about eight miles Of travel. =.

there is no truth in any such story.
No one viii deny that he is entirely
right in not wishing any of the credit
due to the navy for the excellent per-
Torrance of his ship to be taken from
il. The facts about the passage of
the battieship through the Straits OF
Magellan are these. as we get them
from Captain Clark himself:
The Oregon entered the Straits in
the evening and anchored in q heavy
gale at Port lamar in SO and IS faith
oms. Probably some pilot might have
got a better anchorage. but Captain
Clark and his officers did not know IT.
The next day she ran to Sandy Point,
which was reached just after dark
Three or four days were spent there

Small Pos Epidemic.

From present indications, it would
seem that Honolulu must use the ut
most care TO avoid smallpox epidemic.
The last mail from the coast brings
information u the effect that there is
a sudden increase of smallpox in the
states. especially in San Francisco.
That IL is always more or less prev
alent in the Asiatic countries is well
known. With the dread disease on
both sides OF US and with infected
ships crossing and recrossing at tAis
point that We should escape the mala-
dy seems little more than a miracle.
Just how to prevent the contagion
reaching us is a problem that presents
many difficulties.

Additional Precaution Taken.

SAN FRANCISCO, April THE
suggestions made by Chinese Inspec-
tor Dunn for additional precautions
against the escape of Chinese from
the Mail Dock have been accepted by
the Treasury Department Collector
Stratton received a letter to that ef
feet from Assistant Secretary Tay-
lor yesterday. Hereafter a Chinese
inspector will be detailed at the Mail
dock. without whose permission no
Chinese person will be allowed to
enter or leave the detention sheds.
and in addition to this duty the in
spector is TO exercise general super
vision over the watchmen. to see that
there is no dereliction of duty.
A decision of the Treasury Depart
ment classes the detention sheds, as
regards the Chinese immigrants. as
the deck Of the steamer, and under
this ruling the immigrant is a charge
on the steamship company until
passed by the Collector Another
decision provides that if a Chinese
escapes from shipboard to this coun-
try through carelessness or conniv-
ance of the ships officers or crew.
the one responsible may be charged
with aiding and abetting the unlaw-
ful landing of a Chinese person"
Under these rulings the Collector has
decided to bring action against the
steamship company for a penalty OF
$500 each in the case of the eleven
Chinese who escaped from the shed
some months ago

tedious. At early daylight, after the
coaling was finished, the Oregon got
under way and that day ran out of the
Straits. Captain Clark never saw a
pilot on board the Oregon from the
day he joined her in San Francisco
till she reached Key West, where
Rear Admiral Remey sent one on
board to show where to anchor and
to receive coal If Grace & Co. got
$4,000 they would better refund it or
send it to Lieutenant Commander Re-
ginald F. Nicholson, the navigator
and the officers in charge of the deck
during their watches, while it would
be just as we'll to bear in mind during
the distribution tnat the captain of
the ship himself had no small part in
handling her on the long run.

Wreck Still Undiscovered.

SAN FRANCISCO, April AT an
expense Of $125. Captain John Ross
chartered the redstack tug Sea King
yesterday for the purpose of definite
ly locating the wreck of the Rio de
Janeiro. but the work was again
fruitless. At 5 o'clock in the after,
noon the tug returned, and the infors
nation was given out that the moor
ing over the supposed wreck had
again drifted, making it inadvisable
to send down Diver Roach, who had
been engaged at additional expense.
Captain Ross this morning will take
more soundings over the spot.
