SAILORS IN TROUBLE.
Officers of Cruiser Chicago Arrested
at Venice

Rome, May 1.-The officers of the
United States cruiser Chicago, who
were arrested at Venice on the charge
of resisting the police, remain in
prison there. An application for their
discharge has been rejected. The
Italian law does not allow the court
to grant pardon in cases of assault
on the police. Some of the newspa-
pers mention the lynchings of Italians
in the United States as sufficient
reason for a refusal of royal elem
ency. 1t is considered probable, how
ever, that the prisoners will be releas-
ed by order Of the king, June /. the
date of the fete of the constitution.
1t is claimed the officers resisted the
police because of the pressing of the
crowds and inability to understand

JapaneHe Waiting Mice.

Among the many animals which are
adopted as pets there ara numerous
odd and peculiar creatures. But GER
tainly one of the oldest Is the japanese
Waiting mouse. Mice have been
brought under cultivation and have
been so altered in appearance by the
fancier that their original wild rela-
tiyes would fail to know them. Yet
the fancy mouse, with his wonderful
markings, is n very ordinary creature
compared with this Waiting member
of the family.
1t is no doubt true that many a tale
hangs by the tail of many an animal.
The waltzing mouse probably has this
In view, as his main object in life
appears to be to catch and investigate
his own tail, the contortions and gyra-
tons in which he INDUCES during the
process being decidedly unique. The
mice sometimes perform in pairs, but
they are different to ordinary dances
in that they waltz head to tail, turn
ing so quickly that it is difficult TO tell
where one begins and the other ends.
The faculty of Waiting is hereditary,
for the young mice of this variety
eyince a tendency to spin as soon as
they are old enough TO move about.
There are no special markings in the
waltzing mice, though they can be
obtained in several different colors.

'sThe Lost Atlantis" Is favorite sub
ject Of song and story, and even now
strange tales are told by sailors who
claim to have seen a great white city
rearing its domes and minarets up
through the green of the sea. Atlantis
was q continental island between Eu-
rope and America. Scion, as long ago
as GOO B. c., learned the story in Egypt,
and 1t is from him and later from Pla-
to that the tale has been handed down
to modern peoples.
Atlantis was relgned over by three
kings of marvellous power, and the in
habitants were a warlike people far
advanced in civilization. The three
kings finally became SO pulled with
power that they united forces and
planned a descent on Europe, the pur-
pose of which was to destroy and en-
slave. The Athenians met the invaders
and after n fearful battle gained a de-
cisive victory. Two days later mighty
earthquakes shook the earth, and ire
mendous foundations came. When
peace succeeded elemental turmoil, the
sea stretched where once had been At
lantis.

A Story of Lincoln.

1t was a frequent custom of Lin
coins to carry his children on his
shoulders, says The Literary Digest.
He rarely went down street that he
did not have one of his younger boys
mounted on his shoulder, while an
other hung to the tail of his long coat.
The antics of the boys with their
father and the species of tyranny
they exercised over him are still the
subjects of talk in Springfield. Roland
Diller, who was Il neighbor of Mr..
Lincoln, was called to the door one
day by hearing great noise of chill
dren and there was Mr.. Lincoln strid-
Ing by with the boys, both of whom
were wailing aloud. "Why, Mr.. Lin
coin, what's the matter with the boys?'
he asked.
"Just what's the matter with the
whole world" Lincoln replied. "Ive
got three walnuts, and each wants
two"
