panied by Horatio Drinkwater. again

Their position was q perilous one. The
schooner was pounding furiousiy and the
masts were momentarily expected 10 fall.
Had they done so. nothing could have
saved the men. as the heavy sea thrash
ing the wreckage at the side OF the schoon-
er would have ground them TO pieces.
To make matters worse the unconscious
seaman was wedged in the crosstrees
that they could not lift him out. As a
last resource they rugged tackle and.
after an hour OF heart-breaking toll, got
the apparently dead man dashed TO the
buoy, and he hauled ashore. followed
by the surfmen in a similar manner. The
seaman. although In bad condition. was
revived, and In a few days completely
recovered. For their heroism o'Neal and
Drinkwater were given gold medals. and
they had well earned them
The surfman IN his vigil along the
shore keeps lookout for small as well
large crafts. On the night OF Sep
TENDER 2o, 1901, the patrolman from
Gay Head Station, Massachusetts, saw a
feebly pickering light waving through
the darkness a few hundred yards on
shore. He promptly burned his coston
q signal of encouragement and called out
the boat crew. Within half an hour Mr..
Edward II. Raymond. d. ID. s., of Sum-
NIT. n. Y, and his son were taken. more
dead than alive. from a small yacht
Mr.. Raymond later gratefully acknowl-
edged the service rendered by writing to

was on the Fitzpatrick nearby, at the risk
of his life, launched q dory and rescued
the half dead surfman. Thus. of a dozen
men, but one survived, and the lost seven
life-sayers represented one OF the most
fearless crews along the dangerous coast.
The Wadena remained safe several days
after the disaster, and the general con-
viction is that the men were practically
a sacrifice: on one hand TO the needless
apprehension an senseless panic of the
men on the barge, and on the other to
their own high sense Of duty. which
would not permit them TO turn their
backs upon a signal Of distress.
The lifesayers, In taking crews from
wrecked vessels. are frequently called
upon to perform service from which many
men would shrink. no matter how brave.
An instance of this was at the wreck of
the schooner Jennie Hall. which, in
J0-mile northeaster, went ashore about 10
miles south OF Cape Henry. The crew
from Dam Neck Mills Station. below yir-
ginia Beach, responded and took of the
crew by breeches buoy. The last man
from the wreck told the keeper that there
was yet one man left and the buoy was
sent OF again. No attention was paid
TO il, and the keeper realized that the
man. If alive, must be helpless and he
called for q volunteer TO investigate.
Surfman John r. O'Neai. despite the as
surance that it was taking his life in his
hands. made the hazardous trip to the
vessel and found the man unconscious and
wedged between the crosstrees of the
vessel, whittier he had climbed for safety.

mast was swaying many feet frou side to
side. threatening to fall at any moment.
worked for fully 10 minutes. aud only
after he was becoming numb from the
awful cold and realized that he could not
move the man, did he give the signal to
be hauled ashore.
Then, after making his report, he again
volunteered to go out IL someone would
go with him 10 help By this time the
vessel had shifted. forming somewhat of

Catching Sturgeon in
Russia.

The Cossacks of the Ural have a singh
lar way OF catching sturgeon, and 1t In
method unknown in any part OF Eu-;
rope. At certain times IN winter the
men assemble In large numbers by the
side of the river and. dismounting from
their horses. cut a deep trench across the
stream from one of its banks to the other.
They lower their nets into the water and
arrange them SO to block up the entire
channel. Then, getting on their horses,
they ride for seven or eight miles along
the banks. They then form line Of
horsemen reaching from shore 10 shore
and gallop down In the direction Of the
nets.
The fish hearing the clatter Of hundreds
of hoofs swim away from the sound and
dart Ike lightning in the opposite direc-
tion. Here their course is at once arrest
ed and they become entangled In the
trammels The quantity of sturgeon is
at times so large that the sheer weight
of the fish is sufficient to force a passage
through the nets, a blank day being the
result of the fishermen. In England the
sturgeon Is looked upon being rather
poor eating and as unfit for the table, but
IN Russia 1t is highly appreciated When
served up IN cold slices with jelly and
horseradish sauce it is by no means to
be despised. The part OF the sturgeon
most liked by the Russians is the roe
(the famous eaviareI. A Russian will take
this out whilst the fish Is almost alive
and deyour It with the greatest relish.
for the fresher the roe the better IT Is
liked. In order 10 give an idea Of the
abundance Of the eggs Of this great fish,
it is stated that the weight Of the roe
will equal nearly one-third Of the weight
of the whole animal.
There are three kinds of caviare In
Russia, the quite fresh when 10 salt has
been added. then the slightly salted.
which is the kind generally exported TO
England and other parts Of Europe, and,
finally, the pressed cayiare, which Is the
second quality, pressed into cakes This

Shovelful Shoal, off the southern end of
Monomoy Island, Cape Cod These five
men subsequently lost their lives, but
from evidence gathered afterwards it was
eonciusively their own fault.
The barges Wadena and Fitzpatrick
went ashore on the night of March IL,
during northeast gale and Eeavy sea.
A few hours later the Iife-savers took off
the crew. When the weather moderated
wreckers were engaged TO tighten the
barges, and off and on the work was car
ried on until the night of March 10, when
the weather became so threatening that
the wreckers. with the exception OF five
on the Wadena and three on the Fitz-
patrick, abandoned the work and sought
harbor.
The next morning about O'Clock the
keeper saw a distress signal flying from
the Wadena. although the weather was
thick, rain was falling ant a fresh south
east wind was kicking up ugly sea. the
barge did not seem to be in any danger.
Notwithstanding there was the signal.
and the keeper said to his crew, I'VE
must go. There is a distress flag in the
rigging
The lifeboat was manned and the trip
begun. The sea was running nasty on
the shoals and the boat shipped great
quantities of water. adding 10 the dis
comfort of the men. The boat, however,
reached the barge and the five men
jumped in. AS the boat was cut adrift
and, the oarsmen were trying TO turn her
Il sea broke over them md poured con-
siderable water into the boat
In an instant the FIVE men became panic
stricken. They stood up, ciung to the
surfmen and impeded them SO they could
not manage the boat and 4 huge wave

where there is surf, they could be got
ten into deep water only with great diff
feulty, if at ALL The operation of launch
ing would also involve considerable delay
at time when moments were precious.
The few boats of this type that have been
installed have proved their practicability,
and the innovation promises to be a yalu-
able addition to the equipment of the
service.
The government is constantly the
lookout for effective life-saving app1i-
ances, and there exists a board on life
saving appliances, which meets once a
year to examine and test the practical
bility of all devices submitted for its
consideration.
AT some points on the Pacific Coast,
where the shore is rocky. and there are
great bluffs overhanging the water. the
transportation of the Iife-saying appa-
ratus is beset by difficulties and pack
mules have been impressed into service.
a very important feature of the serv-
ice is its system of telephone lines, of
which it has upward OF 1900 miles.
Wherever practicable the telephone serv-
ice extends from station to station. 1t
is also connected with the commercial
and maritime centers of the country, TO
which are transmitted wreck news and
other information relative TO shipping.
BY its aid wrecking outfits are frequently
called to the aid Of stranded and dis
abled vessels in time to prevent great
loss 1t also enables a station-keeper to
summon the crews Of other stations to
his assistance for wreck duty when neees-
sary.
II the life-savers snatch lives from the
Unsuitable sea, the latter takes its toll
from the former, and every now and then
a surfman gives up his life in the at
tempt to save others. One OF the most
noteworthy sacrifices OF life-sayers Ia
their attempt to succor the helpless was
on March II, 1902. when seven Of the
crew Of the Monomoy Station lost their
lives while responding TO the signals of
panic stricken crew of five men on the
barge Wadena, which was stranded on

The Zoroastrlan faith acknowledges
0rmazd, Ahura Mazda, Lord Wis
dom," as the supreme god, with six
archangels. Amesha Spenta, and a
company OF angels, Yazata. about him
TO rule and guide the world. The in
fernal host lof fiends and archfiends
who war against heaven and strive TO
destroy the future life Of man is led by
Anra Mainyu, the evil spirit. In dis
cusslng with those Zoroastrians the
subject OF the origin Of evil | found
that they look upon the supreme being.
Ahura Mazda, as comprising within
himself the two powers Of good ana
evil-namely, Spenta Malnyu, the holy
spirit. and Anra Mainyu, the evil splr-
It. This Is similar to the monotheistic
view held by the Parsis of India in
opposition TO the statement frequently
made that Zoroastrlanism Is pure dual
ism. They believe also in the resurrec-
ton of the dead, which their faith has
taught them since early times, and this
doctrine is connected with the belief
that there will come saviour or mes
siah. called the Saoshyant.-A. Y. VIII

Blind From Birth.

1t would be of great interest to know
how much Helen Keller, losing her
sight at nineteen months, really retain
ed of the sense OF sight. With Laura
Bridgman, a woman OF much less in
tellect. there was evidently little or
nothing left, even as a memory. With
her taste and smell were very feeble,
so that communication with the world
was, indeed, through a narrow pas
sage. Her sensitiveness to vibration
was so fine that without any trace Of
the sense of hearing she was aware OF
the tolling Of a bell. But her blogra-
pher giving us in detail the record of
the slow steps Of her education, tells
us little of what idea she was able to
form of things. 1t Is Sch0penhauer
who gives one hint Of what we all
want 10 know of the born blind. He
says that man blind from birth to
whom sight was given by an operation

and not in their place the things he
saw.-I.ondon Chronicle.

The Trunkfgh.

The trunkfsh Is one of the peculiar
inhabitants of the ocean. II Is called
the trunkfish because It's back Is COM
pletely covered with bony plates Of a
regular shape, forming a complete coat
of mail. IT IS protected so completely
that it can move only its tail. mouth
and a small part Of its gllls, which
pass through the armor. 1t IS quite a
small fish and is found only in the
warm waters of the southern tropical
seas
