BUNYIP MERELY LARGE SEAL
Scientist Sheds Light on Mysterious
Animal That Terrified Aus.
tralian Aborlglnes.

Early settlers in Australia learned
from the blacks the legend of the
"bunyip," a fearsome creature sup
posed to dwell in the swamps and to
terrify beholders from time to time.
Many appearances Of this mysterious
animal have been reported, but in no
case was the evidence satisfactory or
conclusive. The latest story of the
"bunyip" comes from the Black
swamp near Stawell. 70 miles from
Melbourne. The director of the Mel
bourne zoo went up and succeeded in
viewing the animal through a power
full field glass. He pronounced 1t to
be an unusually large seal. The zoo
authorities have offered a reward OF
$50 for its capture.

en-, fewer in number, in what remains Of
the old building. Only the center of each
floor being taken up with the rows
of narrow cells. there remains broad
corridor. running all the way round
and fanked on the right by high walls
with small barred windows. An OBJ
server from the street glancing up at
the windows might conclude that they
were those of the cells In which pris-
oners were confined. AS a matter of
fact. the cells have no windows, only a
grating which looks directly out into
the circular corridor.
At the fourth floor the elevator
stopped and the heavy iron door
swung back.
This way" said the keeper, step
ping out and quickly walking along
the corridor. He's in cell No. 1856"
A lump rose in Annie's throat. The
place was well ventilated, yet she
thought she would faint from a cho-
king feeling of restraint. All along
the corridor to the left were iron
doors painted yellow. In the upper
part Of the door were half a dozen
broad slits through which one could
see what was going on inside.
Those are the cells" volunteered
her guide.
Annie shuddered as, mentally, she
pictured Howard locked up in such a
dreadful place. She peered through
one of the Sits and saw a narrow cell
about ten feet long by six wide. The
only furnishings were a folding cot
with blanket, a wash bowl and lava
tory. Each cell had its occupant, men
and youths of all ages. Some were
reading, some playing cards. Some
were lying asleep on their cots, per.
haps dreaming of home, but most of
them leaning dejectedly against the
iron bars wondering when they would
regain their liberty.

manner and careworn faces rejecting
silently the humiliation and shame
they felt at their kinsman's disgrace.
The small barred windows did not
permit Of much ventilation and. as
the day was warm, the odor was sick
ening. Annie looked around fearfully
and humbly took her place at the end
of the long line which slowly worked
its way to the narrow inner grating.
where credentials were closely scruti-
nized. The horror of the place seized
upon her. She wondered who all these
poor people were and what the pris-
oners whom they came to see had
done to offend the majesty of the law.
The prison was filled with policemen
and keepers and running in and out
with messages and packages were a
number OF men In neat linen suits.
She asked a woman who they were.
"Them's TRUSTEES prisoners that
has special privileges in return for
work they does about the prison."
The credentials were passed upon
slowly and Annie, being the twentieth
in line. found 1t tedious wait. In
front Of her was bestial looking ne
gro. behind her woman whose cheap
jewelry. rouged face and extravagant
dress proclaimed her profession to be
the most ancient in the world. But
at last the gate was reached. AS the
doorkeeper examined her ticket he
looked up at her with curiosity. A
murderer is rare enough even in the
Tombs, to excite interest, and as she
passed on the attendants whispered
among themselves, She knew they
were talking about her, but she
steeled herself not to care. It was
only a foretaste Of other humiliations
which she must expect.
A keeper now took charge of her
and led her to room where she was
searched by matron for concealed
weapons, a humiliating ordeal, to
which even the richest and most in
fluential visitors must submit with as
good grace as possible. The matron
was hard looking woman of about
80 years, in whom every spark Of hui
man pity and sympathy had been
killed during her many years of con-
stant association with criminals. The
word prison" had lost it's meaning to
her. She saw nothing undesirable in
Jail life. but looked upon the Tombs
rather as kind of boarding house in
which people made short or long so.

treated Annie unceremoniously. yet
not unkindly.

Annie felt herself grow cold. Was
this a sinister prophecy? She shud-
dered and, hastily taking dollar from
her purse, slipped it into the matron's
hand.

we has to be-"
Annie could not listen to any more.
The horror of having Howard classed
with fiends of that description sickened
her. To the keeper she said quickly:
please take me to my husband"
Taking another dollar from her
purse, she slipped the bill into the
mans hand, feeling that, here as
everywhere else, one must pay for
privileges and courtesies. Her guide
led the way and ushered her into an
elevator, which, at a signal. started
slowly upwards.

When the washing and ironing Of
silk Is so easily done there is prob
ably nothing so practical and useful as
the silk waists. When preparing to
wash silk waists separate them into
colors, putting the white ones alone.
Soap jelly is easily prepared, and is a
valuable help. 1t should not be kept

Have ready three bowls of luke
warm water, and into two of them
place some Of the soap jelly. In the
first bath plunge the waist, having the
right side uppermost. Squeeze the
soapy water gently through the fabric,
keeping 1t well under the water, and
paying special attention to the neck,
wristbands and armholes. When the
waist Is well washed in the first water
squeeze the water out Of 1t. Never

and place piece Of muslin between 1t

been found that a hot iron yellows

CHAPTER XIII.

In the very heart of Manhattan, right
IN the center of the city's most con-
gested district. an imposing edifice
OF gray stone. medieval in its style of
architecture. lowered high above all
the surrounding dingy offices and
squalid tenements. Its massive con-
struction. steep walls. pointed turrets,
raised parapets and long. narrow, slit
like windows. heavily barred, gave it
the aspect Of feudal fortress incon-
gruously set down plumb in the midst
OF twentieth century New York The
dull roar of Broadway hummed a
couple of blocks away; in the distance
ioomed the lofty. graceful spans of
Brooklyn bridge, jammed with its op-
posing streams of busy interurban
traffic. The adjacent streets were
filled with the din of hurrying crowds,
the rattle of vehicles. the cries of ven-
dors, the clang of street cars, the ugh!
ugh! of speeding automobiles. The ac-
tive, pulsating life of the metropolis
surged like rising flood about the
tall gray walls, yet there was no re-
sponse within. Grim, silent, sinister,
the city prison, popularly known as
"the Tombs," seemed to have nothing
in common with the daily activities Of
the big town in which, notwithstand-
ing. it unhappily played an important
part.
The present prison is a vastly diff
ferent place to the old Jail from
which 1t got its melancholy cognomen.
To-day there is not the slightest justi-
fication for the lugubrious epithet ap-
piled to it, but in the old days, when
mans inhumanity to man was less a
form of speech than cold, merciless
fact, the "Tombs" described an intol.
cradle and disgraceful condition fairly
accurately. Formerly the cells in
which the unfortunate prisoners were
confined while awaiting trial were sit
uated deep under ground and had nei-
ther light nor ventilation. A man
might be guiltless of the offense with
which he was charged, yet while
awaiting an opportunity to prove his
innocence he was condemned to spend
days, sometimes months, in what was
little better than a grave. Literally,
he was buried alive. A party of for
eigners visiting the prison one day
we're startled at seeing human beings
confined in such holes. "They look
like tombs!" cried some one. New
York was amused at the singularly
appropriate appellative and it has
stuck to the prison ever since.
But times change and institutions
with them. AS man becomes more
civilized he treats the lawbreaker
with more humanity. Probably soci-
ETY. will always need its prisoners,
but as we become more enlightened
we insist on treating our criminals
more from the physiological and psy-
Geological standpoints than in the
cruel, brutal, barbarous manner of the
dark ages. In other words the sociol.
ogist insists that the lawbreaker has
greater need of the physician than he
has of the jailer.
To-day the city prison is a tomb
in name. only. It is admirably con-
structed, commodious. we'll ventilated.
The cells are large and well lighted.
