A MODERN VAN DER DECKEN.
Curious Tale OF the Flying Italian Brig
Anita 8.


Anita S.
A Nantes correspondent relates a
curious story regarding the wander
ings Of the italian brig Anita s. and
her adventurous skipper, Capt. Rosa.
The Anita S. left Martinique on
June 6, 1900, with cargo of sugar
consigned to a house in Nantes, but en-
route the captain borrowed at every
port at which he touched sums Of
mcaey, giving as security his ship and
cargo.
When he could raise no more and
his store ran short, in order to avoid
being arrested in port he hailed pass
ing merchant vessels and fishing
boats and bought provisions.
In thu way he kept to the high seas
until Sept. 8, 1900, when, after a sue
cession of terrible storms, he was fore
ed to put into Santa Cruz, Teneriffe.
He escaped detection and remained
there in security until May II Of the
present year, when, after contracting
a new loan of $4,000, Captain Rosa
Of the good ship Anita S., still carry
ing her cargo of sugar, resumed her
erring pilgrimage.
For months he remained at sea, and
during that time the firm at Nantes,
to whom the sugar was consigned, con-
tinued to receive reports that the brig
was cruising on the coast of England.
But Captain Rosa's resources gave
out at last, and, finding that he could
raise no more money and tired Of be-
ing continually at sea, he returned to
Teneriffe in September and was ar
rested.
During his wanderings, says the
London Mail, the Italian skipper had
succeeded in borrowing $4,000, while
the Anita S. is not worth $500. The
cargo Of sugar which left Martinique
seventeen months ago was trans-ship-
ped and has just reached Nantes in an
almost wnrthlaao ronditiap

Names SteepIed Tenement House.

There is unique tenement house In

abandoned as a place Of worship and

outside, leading to the upstair tene-

tions the church retained all its former
appearances Of a meeting house." and
is known locally as "The Church" The
high steeple and its weather vane add

strong medicine but may be taken every

system, gives tone to the bodily func-
lions, acts directly on the genital

The most sensitive heat measur-

The heat rays reach the vanes
through huorite window, while a
piece of glass in the back shows

Crookes has made known that a
blackened surface in partial
vacuum is pushed back by heat,
and when the rays from star are
reflected upon one of the vanes
the arm is slightly rotated, the
quartz being twisted to degree
that is carefully noted on scale.
At the Yerke's Observatory it has
been shown by this means that the
