SURE ENOUGH SEA SERPENT.
Two NaturaIists Saw the Creature and
Made a Sketch of 1t.
Chicago Tribune

Chicago Tribune.
English scientists are discussing with
lively interest a sea serpent seen and
sketched off Para, Brazil, by E. B.
Meade and M. J. Nicoll, we'll known
English naturalists, who described the
creature at a recent meeting of the
geological society in London. The nat
uralists were standing on the deck of
the yacht Valhalla at 10 a. m. when
they were attracted by a sail like OBJ
ject some four feet long and two feet
high, waving from side to side in the
water. When they turned their glass
es on the object there appeared a huge
eel-like neck, some six feet long and
as thick as a mans thigh. This neck
was surmounted by a great turtle-like
head, with large eyes. After a few
minutes, the head, which had stood
high out Of the water, as if the owner
were inspecting the ship, was lowered
to the level of the sea and violently
dashed from side to side, churning the
sea into a great sheet of foam.
During the following night the object
was again seen, this time by the look
out and the officer of the deck 1t was
then travelling in the same direction as
the ship, but going faster, the ship
being under a speed of. only eight and
a half knots.
The description of the creature tall
lies with the sea serpent seen by the
officers of the British warship Daed-
alus in 1S4S. That serpent exposed it's
whole length of sixty feet on the sur
face. The meeting of the geological
society which heard Messrs. Meade and
Nicoll's account is described as 'lis-
tening with breathless excitement" and
the member who writes an account of
the meeting for a London paper con-
cludes with the statement: Serious
ly. we can no longer regard the sea
serpent as a myth"

STARTING Joe" CANNoN's BOOM
Republican State Convention, of Him
ois, Will Declare for Speaker
for President.
StipatiOn.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 21.-The
republican state convention of Illinois
was called to order here this forenoon
with full delegation representing
every county in the state. The Yates
and Cullom factions are out in full
strength and some lively scenes are
expected in the convention when the
nominations will be in order n the
afternoon. Senator Cullom, who over
whelmingly defeated the Yates forces
at the recent primaries, and who, there
fore is the controlling power of the
convention is a staunch supporter of
Speaker Cannon, and it is expected
that he will introduce a resolution in
the convention which will definitely
and emphatically declare in favor of
Cannon for president, thus starting his
presidential boom in earnest.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Hints ON Kitchen Work.

Clean up as you go.
Don't scatter in the kitchen.
Be sure TO put scalGing water in each
saucepan or stewpan rs you finish US
ing it.
Keep the spice box always replenish-
ed, and take care to let your mistress
know If you are out of anything likely

once be supplied
Dry your saucepans before you put
them away.
Pudding bags and jelly cloths re-
quire care. Wash and hang them to
