Saved by His Wit.

The French author Martainville
was royalist and did not hesitate
to attack the French revolution and
its authorities. Presently, of course,
he was summoned to appear before
the revolutionary tribunal. with the
terrible Fouquier at it's head. The rev.
dictionary tribunals at that time did
not hesitate to send everybody to the
guillotine who had ventured to attack
them. Martainville expected sto go

your name?" asked the revolutionary
judge. "MartainvilIe," said the young
author. "Martainvillew exclaimed the
Judge. 'You are deceiving us and try

aristocrat. and your name Is De Mar

claimed the young man. II am here to

man loves a witticism above all things,

The krakatoa ERUPTION.

Perhaps the most remarkable vol
canic eruption known was that which
took place in August, 1883, at the is
land of Krakatoa. in the strait of
Sunda. Streams Of volcanic dust were
thrown seventeen miles high, and more
than cubic mile of material was ex-
PEELED from the volcanic crater. The
air waves started by the eruption trav-
eled around the earth seven times
The noise was heard at Macassa, 900
miles away; at Borneo, 1,116 miles dis
tant; in Western Australia, LOO miles
away, and even at Rodagues, distant
more than 1900 miles The dust and
powdered pumice thrown out of the
crater made the entire circuit Of the
earth before settling down and were
the cause Of the strange sunsets that
were observed for many months.-New
York American.

The proposal Of the commissioners OF
Bonner county to purchase the Great
Northern Railroad bridge at Albeni
Falls for wagon bridge purposes is now
up to the main Offices of the company at
St. Paul. Officials of this division. who
understand the needs of the community
and the value of the bridge to this Sec
ton, have recommended to the head
officials that the proposal of the com
missioners be accepted, and it is likely
that their recommendation will be ap.

the end of that time the bridge to be-
come the property of the county.
