Criminal Alarm clocka.

Mr.. Rockhill in his "Diary of {
Journey Through Mongolia anc
Tibet" mentions a curiously ingen.
ious device employed by Monaghan
letter carriers.
These carriers make very long
journeys on foot and within time
which allows them only the briefest
intervals for an occasional nap. To
insure themselves against oversleep-
ing, therefore, they tie a piece Of
joss stick to one Of their thumbs,
light it and lie down to rest. When
the stick burns down to the flesh
the pain awakens them, and they
resume their journey.

THE FASTNET LIGHT.
Visitors Have to DO Swung Ashore by

Visitors Have to 30 Swung Ashore by
Means Of a lib.
The first glimpse of Great Britain
that the American tourist gets on
his European tour is that of the
Fastnet lighthouse.
1t stands on a rugged and solitary
rock, situated nine miles south of
CrOokhayen, at the extreme south
west corner of Ireland, and is per-
h9ps more storm beaten than any
other around our coast. The rock
is eighty feet in height, and the
lighthouse towers another seventy
feet above, yet in winter gales the
Atlantic pillows literally lombard
the massive structure and have
even smashed in a portion of the
lantern at the summit of the cree
ton, the seas frequently sweeping
over the rock with tremendous force. |
Some dozen or so years ago the
stormy weather then prevailing pre-
vented all communication with the
rock for many weeks, so that the
store of food was consumed, with
the exception of some flour. At last
schooner managed to approach
sufficiently near to enable a small
quantity of food to be dragged
through the sea by the hungry men.
and fortunately the next day the sea
moderated, and the stores were once
more fully replenished.
Except in very calm weather the
sastnet is surrounded by a fringe
# foam, and the only means of land
ng is by the aid of a Glib" fifty
ight feet in length, so placed on
he rock that in moderate weather
is end reaches outside the surf.
When a visitor wishes to land IAN

mall boat as near as the waves per- /
nit, and the light keepers throw =
ut small buoy attached to rope,
hich is secured by the man in the
oat. The jib is then swung out,
nd the visitor, placing one foot in j
lie loop and catching a tight hold ]
the rope, is hoisted about forty il
'et vertically, and then the jib, be- Il
g pivoted at its foot, swings him

WELSH SUPERSTITI0MS.
They Associate spectraI Hounds With
Mountain Storms,

MOUNTAIN STORMS.
One of the many curious supersti.
tons of the Welsh peasantry is that
Of Cron Annwn, or "the spirit
hounds of the air." When a storm
RACES over the mountains of Wales
the peasant will tell you that his
ear can discern the howl of the Cron
Annwn mingled with that of the
wind, but sufficiently clear and dis
tinct to admit of no mistake of what
it is.
These spirit hounds" he tells
you, are the spectral dogs which
hunt the souls of the dead, or which
foretell by their expectant cry the
approaching death of some person
of evil deeds. Few of those who pre-
tend that they can so readily dis
tinguish the cry Of the soul hunting
pack are willing to admit that they
have ever actually seen a Cron
Annwn, "for," they say, "who would |
bnger until such specters dawned
upon the sight?" They are describ-
ed by Faliesin and also in the MA
binogion," where it is said they are
of a clear, shining white, with red
ears. The above seems to be the uni
versal description, and on that ac-
count the author of Mythology of
the Ancient Druids" gives it as his
opinion that they are really "mys-
teal transformations of Druidish
priests, with their white robes and
red tiaras."
In the popular superstitions of
Ireland, where a similar belief in
spectral hounds exists, they are said
o be get black, with eyes and teeth
If fire." Old Con Mchliehael, who
twenty persons in the ear
y part of the fifteenth century and
Vho got rid Of his victims by burn
ng their bodies, is said to have been j
aten By spectral dogs chat could {
e seen high in the air awfully rend-
1g and tearing his flesh" One of i
be peculiarities of the Cron Annwn Y
that the farther away they are the I
'uder their cries appear, the sound s
ecreasing as they draw near. n
