many others equally good There Is.
for instance, the tale still told ln the
atolls Of the south seas concerning the
brig Bounty, Of mutiny fame, which.
for dramatic intenseness, far out
weighs It.
AS a tale Of adventure few, II any,
stories Of real life can exceed in tragic
detail the story Of the mutlny Of the
British brig Of war Bounty. Her men,
disheartened and oppressed by a tyran-
nical captain, set upon their officers
and, numbering some, set the rest
afoat IN open boats. Then the mutt
neers sailed to a deserted island, first
taking unto themselves wives Of the
daughters Of the islanders, and their
descendants still live on a rocky island
In the south Pacific. For years after
the mutiny the whereabouts Of the
ship and her crew was unknown. and
she was supposed to have foundered
at sea. Naturally stories, weaving
themselves from the phantasmagoria
Of the sea. were told concerning her
at the wharves where seamen congre-
gated and finally crystallized into one
grewsome yarn which might have
served coIerldge as the framework for
his Rhine Of the Ancient Mariner"
ANY old whaler in Frisco can tell the
legend which Is the white mans con

She, like the death ship seen by the

and the ship lies idle as a painted

becalmed whaler, the white water un-

behind. a glittering furrow. She swings

bold Yankee Enqlneers.

The operations OF Yankee engineers
are q source of constant wonder and
bewllderment to all foreigners. The
daring way in which the Americans
blow up mountains that come in their
way or string bridges over seemingly
impossible canyons almost takes their
breath away.
On one Job in South America a con-
tractor used about $4,000 worth Of
powder in blasting. He employed 5000
men and completed d piece OF work In
less than three months that local au-
thoritles said could not be done inside
Of ten years.
He put 1900 kegs of powder n onc
blast, and when the shot went on It
sent over TOO train loads Of rock down
a cliff into the river. There was such
a mass Of debris that It raised the wa
ter Of the stream tifty-hve feet in less

cry piece Of Oriental fabric and ey-
cry particle Of wood used in the man.
ufacture Of the costly equipment is
new, and the sum Of money that was
spent on this free display alone would
buy out any other circus in the world.
Corresponding in wealth Of novel;

enormous program Of acts that take
place under the largest canvas pavil-
ion ever erected. Of the 300 perfor-
mers over 200 are from Europe and
Asia, and new to this country There

any other circus On earth. The date

but that the Legislature Of West Virginia had been gully
Of gross neglect in carrying out the contract under
which she became state, according to the Richmond
Times Dispatch.
1t is insisted says the chief justice that this court
cannot proceed to judgment because Of an alleged com
pact entered into between Virginia and West Virginia,
with the Of congress- BY which the question of
the liability Of Virginia to West Virginia was submitted to
the arbtrament and award Of the Legislature of West
Virginia as the sole tribunal which could pass upon IL
The constitution Of West Virginia when admitted into the
Union contained the provision
An equitable portion Of the public debt Of the Com
monwealh Of Virginia prior to the LIST day Of January
1861 shall be assumed BY this state and the legislature
shall ascertain the same as soon as may be practicable
and provide for the liquidation Of the same By sinking
fund and redeem the principal within ihry-Eour
years.
Reading the Virginia ordinance and the West Virginia
constitutional provision it followed that what was meant
BY the expression that the Legislature shall ascertain was
that the Legislature should ascertain as soon as prac-
ticabe the result Of the pursuit Of the method prescribed
and provide for the liquidation Of the amount So ascertain
