May Irwin.

The funniest Coincidence on the
American stage, May Irwin, will be
seen at the Gennett theatre on Dec. 10
in the great double bill, Mrs. Peck,
hams Carouse," a farce by George
AIDE, and "The Mollusc," comedy in
three acts by Hubert Henry Davies, the
author of Cousin Kate" and other
plays. In all her stage career it is
doubtful If Miss Irwin has been SO
we'll fitted as in these plays. In the
George AIDE farce, Mrs. Peckham's Ca
rouse" sheis seen as a rampant prohi-
bitionist, and in 1.-THE Mollusc" as a
woman who is too lazy to sit up. These
plays were the big laughing hit of the
current season in New York at the
Garrick theatre.

A Turtle Feast With Indians on tn.
Amazon River.

Zone of the strangest situations

travelled much, "was down on an
island in the Amazon river. | was
looking up timber for an English
syndicate. had another white man
with me, and we went up the river
500 miles in a launch. The crew
of the launch were half Indian and
half negro. We had been caught
by swarm of Indians who swept
us along with them up the river UNI
til we reached this island | speak
Of. There was nothing to do but
go with them, as they were several
hundred to one of us. They landed
on the island, which was quite siza-
BILE and sloped to the rivers edge,
the shores being sandy. There we
camped for the night. Next morn
ing when we wanted to leave the
natives would not let US go, insist
ing on our remaining. | did not
like this, but there was nothing
else to do, so we stayed. Well, that
night we saw something moving all
about the island, and presently tur-
ties began to crawl out of the water
on to the shore. There were hun
dreds of them. They came there to
lay their eggs. 1t was an annual
visit, and the Indians knew and
kept track of it. They were there
to have a feast. As soon as the
turtles were well on the island the
fun began. With a big pole we
would get after turtle and upset
him Oh his back, where he was help
less. Scores were caught in this
manner. For those they did not
want to eat at once the Indians
scooped a hole in the sand and
dropped the turtle down on his
back, and there he remained until
dragged out to be killed. The weird
and fantastic performances we saw
there beat anything ever saw be-
fore or since. The Indians would
eat and dance and dance and eat
until they fell down, unable to
move. AS soon as they had rested
they would get up and go at it
again. They kept that up for near
ly week. Then we got away. How
much longer they remained | can
not say, but suppose they remain
ed as long as there was anything to
eat."-Milwaukee Sentinel.

The Earth's Rotundity.

When the earth comes between
the sun and the moon it always
casts a round shadow. A place
chosen for an experiment to prove
the roundness of the earth was
near Bedford, England, where there
is a straight six mile stretch of wa
ter. At both ends and in the mid
die of this stretch of water posts
were erected, each of the same def
mite height above the water level
Upon looking with a telescope
along the tops of these three posts
it was clearly seen that the center
one overtopped the others by about
six feet, thus marking the curva-
ture of the earth's surface. This
experiment has been repeated and
with every latest appliance brought
to bear to effect absolute accuracy.
The statement as to how a ship at
sea shows the tops Of her masts
first and then gradually parts below
them, but above the water, is a ia
miliar one and satisfies most minds.
