CAUGHT II Muskrats in His Cellar.

The Rev. E. H. Evans reports a
queer catch of muskrats. He deliv-
cred to a local fur dealer seventeen
fur skins of fine quality, and in eX-
planning how he got them he told a
strange story. He said he had missed
cabbage and potatoes in his cellar,
and supposing they had been taken
by rats he set trap. The next morn
ing he found the trap packed with
rats.
When he examined them he saw
they had usually large feet. Then he
called in nighbor, who said the ami
mails were muskrats. He placed trap

PRANK OF TROPICAL STORM.
Twisted All Four Masts Of the schoon

Twisted All Four Mas+5 OF the Schoon-
err James E. Drake.
The four masted schooner James
b. Drake is at Mcphees shipyard in
east Boston undergoing repairs for
one of the most peculiar accidents
in the history of navigation.
While cruising in southern waters
the schooner YVES caught i'll a cyclonic
storm which revolved around the yes
sci in such a manner that all four of
her masts were twisted in their steps.
When the ship carpenters Investigate
ed the schooner preparatory to begin
ming their work they could scarcely
believe their eyes. Plainly some rotary
motion of the wind and storm had
caught the poles in a leverage, forcing
them Just half way round. No explain
alton is offered for the masts not COM
ing out of the vessel. All four are
standing and have Eeen carrying sail
all the way to port. No other damage
was received during the storm, and
although the masts were turned they
were not injured in the least.
The accident is the first of its kind
in the memories of the oldest naviga-
tors about the harbor. They say that
of all freaky gales reported of the
tropics this is the strangest, and many
refused to believe the story until they
had visited the yard and viewed the
schooner themselves.

Ruryinc Blades in River Bed.

It seems odd that telegraph and tele-
phone companies should be forced to
bury their cables in the bed of large
river, yet this became necessary in
places along the Ohio during the re-
cent drought.
The river was SO low that boys
could and did play ball in the very
channel bed, and the exposure left the
telephone cables entirely unprotected.
To avoid a repetition of the incident,
therefore, the companies have dug
trenches in the river bed, in which

If it is necessary to use iodine for

ment it is worth remembering that
the painting should be done in the
dark or in red light, such as is used
in photography.
If this is done and the painted por-
