WHOLE SHIP 4 STORAGEBiTTERY

ming Rods After Electrical storm.

tfittB "
PHILADELPHIA, June 24.-The truthful
crew of the British steamer Corfe Castle,
which ancho red of Girard Point to-day,
cay that on the voyage out from Bombay
they had to pump bolts of lightning from
the hold with lightning o and hat every
time the boat gave a heave the lightning
in the hold would shift to starboard and
give the hull a list. The crew assert that the
electric fluid got into their cargo Of manga
nese ore and turned the whole forward
and aft holds into raging hells of kinetic
electricity. If it hadn't been kinetio things
wouldn't have been 30 bad.
The Corte Castle left the indian port on
Nav 10. When down along the equator
somewhere near the great belt Of treasure
islands and the summer home of the seat
serpent, an electrical storm came up. Scut-
ties, the cook, saw a bolt Of lightning as
big as a capstan bar go down the forward
mast and into the h~atchway Of No. ? hold.
He told the captain and the ca plain sent
two A. BIS down to find out what damage
had been done.
The men got a shock from the man
ganese that nearly "electrocuted' them.
mum on his front teeth and for three days
afterward every time he opened his mout h
to spit tobacco juice the sparks would
fly from this platinum band thr ough his
whiskers and cause him great pain:
When the manganese in the hold got to
working we'll the whole ship was charged.
The sailors had to wear their gum boats
and the coal passers wrapped their hands in
pieces OF sou wester trousers, cut up. The
ships cat became a walking battery; every
hair on her body stuck out and at night she
looked like Coney Island from six miles of
shore. The compass wouldn't work right.
1t whirled around and the Corfe Castle
sailed 200 miles back or its course by mis-
take.
This is getting tiresome,' at last the
captain was heard to say as he stood on a
rubber mat and drank his coffee from a CUP
wrapped in wool, about the third day after
the manganese got to working. So he
ordered the sailors to lower lightning rods
down the forward and aft hatchways. 1t
was dangerous work, but finally success
fully accomplished.
When the imprisoned lightning in the
manganese ore began to escape from the
TOP Of those lightning rods it made a loud
cracking noise and you could see the light
ming trailing from those two rods like home
ward bound remnants on a flagship. The
ore is all right now and Is not alleged with
lightning.

that at the beginning Of another cent nry

characteristic humility when he found his
name at the head Of the mathematical tripos,
exclaimed: Il have obtained nv highest wish,

In the history of the wranglership it Is
remarkable that not many senior wranglers
have been famous. An exception to this
is found in the case of the late Chief Justice
Pollock, who read hard" TO attain the dis

BIT BY MAN EATING STURGEON.
Boy Swimming in Allegheny River Seized
by Six Foot Fish.

P1TrsBURG, June 24.--This afternoon,
while a crowd of boys were swimming in the
Allegheny River, off the Patterson coal
float at the Pittsburg end of the Sixth Street
Bridge. an immense fish, which was after
ward discovered to be a sturgeon. appeared
among them. There was a scramble among
the lads for places of safety. All the boys
got back to the coal float except William
Wiederseim, 10 years old, of Allegheny.
just as he was about to pull himself upon
the coal float the fish sank its teeth into the
calf Of the lads right leg.
The boy was being dragged under water
when his screams brought Jacob Miller,
Waterman of the coal float, to the rescue;
He seized the boys arm and with a baseball
bat which was lying on the float beat the
fish over the head. Even after life was
extinct the fish still hung to the boys leg,
and its jaws had to be pried apart before
the boy was released. ,
The fish measured six feet in length and
weighed e~ighty-nine pounds.
