TERRIBLE MARINE EARTHQUAKE.
Cape Horn Phenomenon Kills Thou
sands Of Big Fish.

A sailing ship rounding Cape Horn
almost unprecedented in that stormy
latitude. The sky was filmed with a
light haze and the sea fiat and lead
colored. About ten O'Clock on the
morning of the second day the ship
began to shake violently, the masts
whipped and bent like fishpoles, and
everything movable above and below
came down with clatter. 1t was
like striking a rock, only the shock
was less pronounced at first, but in
creased in violence during the 30
seconds it lasted. The sea heaved
in oily swells with a strange hoarse
murmur, and it continued to be agi-
tated after the tremors ceased.
Half an hoEr later fish by the thou
sands began to rise to the surface, un-
til it was covered with them. Forty
seven whales were counted, many
cowfish, fully eight feet across, sharks
without number and seals by the hun
dreds. They were evidently stunned
with the force OF some terr1hc marine
upheaval, and when struck with a
pole by one of the sailors showed only
faint signs of life. In 20 minutes
after the first fish arose to the sur
face they began to drop out of sight
like pieces of lead. Whether they
were stunned, and, on recovering, i'm
mediately dove beneath the waves in
a panic, seeking safety in the depths,
or whether they died from the shock,
and, instead of floating as dead fish
do, were drawn under by some sub
marine whirlpool, were scientific ques,
tions too deep for the skipper, but
half a dozen of the, smaller fish hauled
aboard by the cook for dinner were
quite dead when examined. The calm
continued "a hours longer before the
ocean resumed its usual aspect and a
wind from the southeast permitted the
ship to continue its course.

Rear Admiral Sigsbee, in recent
article in the Youths Companion, re-
ferred to a story told him by an Off
Ger who had sailed on the Portsmouth
off the African coast, hunting for
slavCrs. The story goes that the
Portsmouth was once challenged to
race by a foreign man-of-war, and
sailed round the foreigner twice.
The admiral regards this as a good
sea yarn which he is content to leave
undisturbed. A correspondent who
was on board the Portsmouth at the
time writes to the Companion that in
the log which he kept of the cruise he
finds the facts which bear out the
story. On November II, 1859, the
Archer, British sloop of war, and the
Portsmouth were lying at anchor off
Kensington, West Africa, Both got
under way about the same time, all
sails set, and started on a trial Of
speed. Whether the race had been
planned or was an informal "brush"
is not recorded, but it is true that in
the race that followed the Portsmouth
sailed clean round the Archer. The
evident establishment of the incident
to make it a worthy sea yarn is the
word twice"

Denial Of the probability of a war
between Japan and the United States
would be gratuitous if there were not
SO much persistent talk about the
dreadful possibility. 1t may be worth
while to collect three recent uttN-
ances on the subject by persons who
know. A French officer who has been
in Japan making q dispassionate study
Of military matters, says, in effect,
that Japan is physically incapable of
war with the United States. The
American ambassador to Japan, Mr..
O'Brien, says that war talk is absurd.
Marquis Katsura, the new head Of the
Japanese cabinet, supports his asser-
tion that Japan is bent on peace by
pointing out that the financial problem
OF Japan is suffi cient to engross her
for some time to come. War between
this country and Japan is possible; so
is war between any two nations. But
it is a perverse iingoism which tries
10 frighten folk with SO nebulous a
possibility.

Sensitiuenass of Earth.

The invention of the seismograph
for the study of earthquakes has led
to the discovery of the surprising SEN
sitiveness of the crust of the globe to
forces that might have been thought
too insignificant to cause distortion.
Among these forces is the alteration
in the pressure of the atmosphere dur
ing the passage of storms, causing a
perceptible fitting of large areas of
ground Prof. Amori of Japan declares
that storm which passed over the
sea east of Tokyo recently caused the
bordering land to tilt downward, not
withstanding the fact that the sea
rises with release of atmospheric pres
sure, and the accumulation of water
more than sufficed to counterbalance
the decrease in weight of the air.

to her and she began showing me the
relics herself. l recognized some of
the uniforms and spurs that the gen.
eral had worn at Fredericksburg,
where l was stationed very near him,
and when Mrs. Grant opened the cabi-
net in which they were placed she
confirmed my recognition. She then
showed me souvenirs Of the generals
trip abroad, in which there were gifts
from 19 different countries.
when she had shown me these
things l was about to leave but !
thought I would tell her of my wish to
see the general, so said Mrs. Grant
did you know that no one has ever had
such grieved heart at not seeing
Gen. Grant as I. am going to see the
Boys in Blue" soon, and wished to
see the general and take back mes
sage directly from him.
when she heard that l was going
to. camp Grant she told me to wait a
minute, went upstairs, and then came
down again with the words, The gen
eral wants to see you upstairs.

that was to see my commander after
all, that could hardly climb the
stairs, but at last / was ushered into
the generals room, where he was ly-
ing in bed, and was taken to chair
close to him.
Calling me Comrade Holbrook, he
asked me how l had served and
where. When he found that l was
unoer Gen. Isaac /. Stevens he
laughed, ana then went to telling anec.
dotes in which Stevens figured when
he and the general we're West Point

manuscript of his memoirs, which. he
said, he had written himself, although
there were some people who had tried
to make it appear that it was not the

"Then l asked the general if he had
no message to give me to take to the
encampment of the boys, at which he
took me by both hands, raised himself

GRANTS LAST MESSAGE.
II Was Given comrade HoIbrook for
the Boys in Blue.

Tell them l love them as my own
children and they are engraven on my
heart"
That was Gen. Grants last message
to his Boys in Blue" and it is
stamped in the memory of Dorches-
ter man, says the Boston Globe. Moth
ing but death can efface 1t, for it was
to this Grand Army veteran that the
beloved hero of the country gave the
words from his bedside during his last
illness.
A. ]. Holbrook, the retired postmas-
ter of the Mattapan branch of the Bos-
ton post Office, who lives at his Did
homestead at the corner of DorcEes-
ter avenue and Fuller street, Ashmont,
is the person to whom the message
was given.
That it may survive forever he has
had it cut in the back of silver dol
lar of the date of 1885, when the inter
view took place, and this medal is the
most treasured possession of the old
man. He would not part with the me
mento, he declares, for many thou
sands of dollars.
Mr.. Holbrook saw the general in
New York shortly before his death,
when in the metropolis in reference to
the publication of a history of Grants
life, in which he was interested. He
tells Of his visit to the general as fol-
lows: .......
81 went up from the hotel to Sixty
fourth street, where the general had
his home at the time, and was ushered
into the waiting room, where I was
received by Col. Fred Grant, who,
much to my dismay, said: I'm sorry
you cant see the general to-day, as he
is very sick and the doctor has given
orders that no one can see him.
Il expressed my great sorrow, but
made the best of it and asked to see
the souvenirs that had been presentNd
to the state by the general, and Col.
Grant was pleased to extend this
courtesy to me, as soon as some call
ers upon Mrs. Grant had been dis
missed.

HE is A GREAT FINANcIER.
Doubtless There Are Plenty of Others
Just Like Him.

'I had conversation the other
day." said a well-to-do citizen to the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat, with
man who undertook the discussion of
the currency question and had pet
theory on the best management of the
government finances, in order to pre-.
vent recurrence of the recent panic"
My friend is unfortunately of very
limited resources, has large family,
small salary, and, as l happen to
know, often has difficulty in adjusting
means to ends. This fact, however,
does not prevent his theorizing on the
country's financial condition, and he
can tell anybody who will listen ex-
actly what the government ought to do
and what the banks ought to do, and
how the two ought to cooperate, in
order to provide an elastic system of
currency which would make our finan-
ces as strong as Gibraltar.
The conversation reminded me of
an incident which occurred few
years ago in London, concerning a
man who occupied little back room
in poor quarter of the east end. He
was evicted for non-payment of rent
He had nothing but valise and few
clothes, and while they were throwing
him and his belongings out of the
house bulky manuscript fell out of
his pocket. Nobody noticed it at the
time, but after he had gathered his
clothes and taken his departure, one
of the bystanders saw the big roll of
paper, picked it up, and on opening
it, was surprised and amused to find
it contained an elaborate scheme for
refunding the national debt Of the
British empire"

BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by The
sands Of DeVout Pilgrims.

Thousands of pilgrims from the va
rious outlying villages and other parts
of the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour in the morning to the
temples of Jagernath, says the Cal
cutta Statesman.
The image of the god Is placed on
a conspicuous part of the temple, SC
that it can be viewed at an advantage
by the immense crowd of pilgrims,
and there at a certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part of the tesu
val is that water is not poured on the
image of the god until certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner of the temple. There is pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri, the famous place of Hindu pilgrim
age, to Maheoh on the day OF this
festival and his very presence is an
indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears.

The Human Engine.

OF all the engines cunningly de-
Vised by man not one can equal that
masterpiece Of construction, the en-
gine of the human frame. To run that
engine, air is the first necessity. Con-
struct it how you will, the greater part
Of the energy which feeds a power
plant is lost before it reaches the ap-
plying machine. The body, declares
Hollis Godfrey in the Atlantic, only
has the power of using energy really
economically and efficiently. Its food
is its fuel. To be available, all the
constituents of that food must be
burned, producing heat and power.
For that burning the oxygen Of the air
is essential. Equally true is 1t that
nitrogen must be present to prevent
the rapid combustion which would
take place in oxygen alone. But
whether the combustion be fast or
slow, the action is the same. The
body burns the carbon and hydrogen
of its food and gives out the oxides Of
these substances, carbon dioxide (car.
bon scid gas) and hydrogen oxide
(water). The water that is formed
within the body by the burning OF
hydrogen is of comparatively slight
Importance in a consideration of the
vital questions Of the effect Of city air
upon the individual, but the other fac
tor, the carbon dioxide formed in the
body, is of direct Importance.
