WONDERFUL MIRAGE.
Great City Appears to WhaIers III tho
Behrjnu Sea-

On the 18th Of last August when the
whaling bark Gayhead was cruising
about seventy-five miles west OF Priby.
Ion island in Behring sea, Mate PJase
and the men on deck were thunder
struck by the appearance of a great
city Immediately ahead. There was
the shore line, and rising above 1t were
thousands of electric lights twinlling
along hundred streets. Here ana
there, apparently at prominent cor
ners, were larger lights, and along the
shore were the myriad OF lights show
Ing at the wharves.
But the mate and his men knew that
this must be an imaginary city. and
that for hundreds of miles beyond
whore these lights flared out was only
an eNpanse of desolate water The
mate called Captain Fisher, who
looked upon the scene and was bewil-
dercd. There was no accounting for
the wonderful sight. This city seemed
as real as San Francisco seems to a
vessel anchored in the channel near
Goat island.
When daylight came. the spectacle
faded away, and in all directions was
only the heaving bosom of the cold
sea, with no land in sight and no
great city within hundreds Of miles.

tribes of New Zealand, who died at

remarkably weird funeral at Rotorua,
New Zealand.
After his death the Arawa tribes as.
sembled for the obsequies and held n
"tangi'' for three wceks-weepinc and
feastinr. A military funeral was &C
corded by the government and the pro.
cession, which was strangely diverse
in character. comprised many hun
dreds of natives and Europeans.
The body, covered with the Union
Jack. was carried by native chiefs TO
grave on the summit of conical
hill while Maori children chanted
hymns, and part of the funeral ccre,
mony consisted OF throwing hundreds
of loayes of bread into the air for the
sustenancc of the departed chief.
