any definite statement as to his condi-

relief, the burning feeling that has an

GREY RESCUED.

Frank w. Chapman, captain Of
the Puritan" 4 British bark, which
foundered at sea June 81, last night
greeted old friends on the floor OF the
Maritime Exchange, New York, having
just arrived from the Pacific coast.
The Puritan" was big British bark,
with considerable New York capital in
vested in her. She was loaded with
$500 tons OF coal, and bound from
Newcastle, Australia, for San Francisco.
Twenty-eight days had passed, and the
weather had been fairly good, when,
out OF defective tropical sky, hurri-
cane burst Oh the bark.
For two days the deeply laden vessel
drove on, taking water over her fore
and aft. On the second day water was
reported in the hold, and all hands
went to the pumps, but the thrush
steadily gained and the crew became
exhausted.
The 90 men took to two boats, with
Captain Chapman in charge of one,
aud John Hatfield, first mate, in charge
OF the other.
Days passed and no land was sighted
and the boats were separated during
a heavy squail. The heat was ter
rife.
Captain Chapman at last was obliged
to dole out the water a few drops at a
time. The second mate, Thomas Col
Inns, refused to drink water, even when
his tongue was badly swollen, saying
the men needed it more.
ION the twelfth day we saw land,
the island of Anao, about 400 miles
from Takiti, said the captain. We
found the mates boat with all on
board safe.

Laughter" says Professor Sir
Charles Bell, "is a conyulsive action OF
the diaphragm. In this state the per-
son draws full breath and throws 1t
out In interrupted short and audible
cachinnations. This CONFUSION of the
diaphragm is the principal part OF the
physical manifestation Of laughter.
"But there are several accessories
especially the sharp vocal utterance
arising from the violent tension OF the
larynx and the expression OF the fea
lures. this being more intense form
of the smile. In extreme cases the
eyes are moistened by the efusion
from the lachrymal glands"
There are some people who cannot
laugh. vino are wholly unable to enjoy
either the physical or the mental lux
ury Of a laugh. Thus 1t was SAID OF
William III. that he was utterly at
loss to understand what could be got
out Of laughter except loss Of dignity.
There are many persons In history
who have been, according to common
report, incapable Of laughter. queen
