Living Liahts of tn. Sea.

One of the marine curiosities fished
from the bottom of the Indian ocean
by a dredging vessel chartered by the
Calcutta Society of Natural History
was a mammoth sea crab, which con-
finually emitted bright white light,
similar to that seen in the spasmodic
Clashes of phosphorescent luminosity
kindled by the common firefiies. The
oddly was captured in daytime and
placed in large tank, nothing pecul-
far except its immense size being no.
ticeable in the broad glare of the
tropical sun. At night, however, when
an was in pitchy darkness, the crab
surprised the naturalists by lighting
up the tank so that all the other sea
creatures, great and small, occupying
the same tank could be plainly seen.
When the luminous crustacean was
prodded with pole he emitted flashes
OF light, which enabled the expert
mentors to read small print, even
though otherwise they were in total
darkness.-London Chronicle.

Hugo and Merimee.

1t is probable that with the excep.
ton of Byron no great literary genius
ever was greeted with such a storm
Of vilification and abuse as Victor
Hugo when he published LES Miser-
ables." While the book took the pub
lie literally off their feet, almost all
Hugo's rivals united in condemning it
and its author.
Prosper Merimee wrote in reference
to dinner given to Hugo at Brussels:
Have you read Victor Hugo's
speech at the dinner given to him by
Belgian librarians and other. scoun-
drels of Brussels? His statements
were without depth, solidity or com
mon sense. He is a man who intoxi-
Gates himself with words and does not
take the trouble to think"
Victor Hugo retorted by writing to a
friend, an. Merimee is a man natu-
rally vile"

The great Irish agitator, Daniel

The circumstantial evidence was so
strong against the prisoner that the
jury had already determined upon

supposed to have been murdered was
brought into court, alive and unhurt.
The jury were desired to return their
verdict at once, and they did so. but 1t
was one Of guilty.

When Love Crows Cold.

There was shouting and yelling aboard both vessels. but the seamen were cool and their officers gave orders calmly.
 The steward of the Hall passed up the two women passengers who were lightly clad. having just tumbled from tKcir berths. They were quickly pass cd by the sailors across to the deck of the Dimock and the male passengers clamboredk over also. Meantime, the Hall was being showed sideways across the Sue, haeling to Starboard until her hull brought up against g. sand bank. The Dfnock then backed away and efforts were made to patch up the hole in her bow.
 When the Hall was slowly sinking, the wireless man on board her began sending out the "C o D. call. which was picked up by g. number of Govern Eent stations along the coast. The revenue cutter Gresham was in Vine. yard Sound on her way to the freight steamer Massachusetts ashore to the westward and got this message.
 The Gresham at once changed her course to the eastward, but by this time the wireless on the Hall was put out of commission by the rising water in her hold, and therefore there was no way for the Gresham to ascertain just where the steamer had sunk Later the Gresham got a message from a land station and proceeded to Pollock Rip.

STARIN'S CREW GIVE TESTIMONY
 TO INSPECTORS

Testimony was taken yesterday in New Haven before the United States Steamboat Inspectors from Captain Van Pelt and other officers of the steamer John H. Starin which ran on the breakwater in this city the night of Feb. 19 and is still there. The in quiry by the steamboat inspectors was to find outswhere to attach the blame.
 Captain Van Pelt told the inspectors that when the Starin left New Haven it was blowing hard and when off Stratford they encountered very heavy weather. Chief Engineer Allen then sent word that the boat was leaking and Captain Van Pelt headed the steamer for Bridgeport, intending to make harbor here, but he could not make out the Bridgeport light. The weather got thicker all the time, and the first the captain knew the Starin struck the pile of rocks of the Bridge port breakwater.
 Pilot Thomas McBrien, Quartermas- ter Anderson and Chief Engineer Allen gave practically the same testimony as did Captain Van Pelt. Attorney James D. Dewell of New Haven and Captain DietZ, the superintendent of the Starin Transportation line were there representing the Starin interests and Frank H. Mason, an insurance agent of New Haven, who carried in surance on a large amount of the freight carried on the Starin, was also present during the hearing. The in- spectors gave no decision after the hearing was over.
