UNF0LDs A TERRIBLE TALE
Captain Returning From Voyage to ths
Torrid Zone Has Story Of Won
derful Experience.

A terrible tale of the torrfd zone
was unfolded by Capt. K. Il. TorribIe
the other day on the arrival OF the
steamer Denis, which plies between
New York and ManaoiS, port ABOUT
1000 miles up the Amazon river. Inc
skipper vowed by marine and othef
saints that never had he seen sights
so strange, according to the New YORK
Times.
On river which e!mpties into the
Amazon, near ManaoiS, he said he saw
myriads Of electric cells so strongly
charged with electricity that the broad
bosom OF the stream was flooded with
light and the crew were able TO READ
their pocket Bibles by the glow, which
was estimated at 40 watts per eel.
When seamen brought some OF these
high-voltaged eelS on deck, Captain
Torrible said, the ships dynamos were
short circuited and there was the dick
ems to pay until the eels were discon-
nected.
But Skipper Torrible hadn't finished.
While the Denis was tied up at the
pier, a boy who was working with a
loading gang fell into the river. The
luminous eels surged around him, and
when he was picked up he was dead.
A physician who examined the body
said that the lad was the victim OF
an electric overchargc. Captain Tor
rible brought back with him sun
lodging monkey, which prowled only
at night. He declared that the simian,
like an owl, was casual and apathetic
by day, but when the sun went over
the horizon the monkey had 2o--0
glims and was an ultra-.ively stopper
The captain took newspaper men into
his cabin, where the pet was kept,
and pulled down the shades. The sun
dodger reacted to the gloom by ap-
propriating and Immediately eating a
straw kelly recently purchased at con-
siderable outlay by one Of the report
erS
The skipper said, that ne had pur-
chased a Brazilian sloth to bring back
to the United States, but the animal
was too lazy to eat and died on the
way here.

Compliment to the Mare.

Talk of automobile drivers being
arrested for violating the speed limit
when they fly up and down the high
ways at 49, 80, CO. etc. miles al
hour, drew one day bit Of rem
iniscence from Captain Thomas l..
Halls Of the United States secret serv-
ice.
Il remember one time back in q
little Ohio town. said the captain,
when my father was stopped by an
officer of the law because he was
driving his mare more than i miles
an hour
You was going more than twelve
miles an hour said the officer; I'll
arrest you for speeding. ''
"'No, get up, get up my father
said. That's a compliment to the
mare. She can't go II miles an
hour."-Detroit Free Press.

Cats Meat.

The port Of London authorities are
spending more than $1,000 year for
cats meat, that the large army Of cats
required to deal with the rats and
mice infesting the docks may be sup
ported in the style to which they Gave
been accustomed. SO presumably the
cats are purely "sportsmen. just Kill
the rats for the fun Of the thing, but
never eat their prey. And also. pre-
sumably, the cats don't make much
headway with their jobs, Since we are
assured the staff has been continually
increased-and likewise the aPproprl-
ationS for their support. 1t looks l'&e
political sinecure.-LoS Angeles

SHED LIGHT ON OLD TIMES
interesting Official Documents Recant-
ly Found in the State House
at Philadelphia.

Incrusted with dust, yellow With
age, some nibbled by mice, a real
tre' sure trose Of documents has been
discovered by workmen restoring the
old state house, the last Of the group
of Independence hall buildings TO re-
ceive the city'S attention, says press
dispatch from Philadelphia. The build
ing was the seat of the city govern
uent until 1858.
One of the official papers relates
that Robert Wharton, once mayor OF
Philadelphia, addressing the select
council on December 10, 1914, de-
plored the increase of ''uppiing
houses" especially those that sold
~ardent spirits to minors. in one and
two cent quantities. Another record
showed that as late as May 9, 1916,
q resident OF that city paid $3.50 as
8 tax for being allowed to carry a
watch.
In the ''tippling house" address Of
Mayor Wharton he called the old-time
saloons ''vile sinks"
G;...ling houses also came in for his
attack. He declared that many such
houses were being operated in the
city openly for the destruction Of the
unwary, and lamented that there
were no laws against them. A refer
ence to fine of 10 shilling for the
unlawful discharge of firearms was
mentioned by Mayor Wharton.
He criticized the filthy condition OF
certain footways" and recommended
fixing the pavements on many city
streets.
A police flyer was also found near
where the old rogues' gallery used TO
be, and in those days this was an
actual gallery around the police court.
The flyer was dated about the middle
of the last century, and with it were
photographs Of a prominent New York
merchant and society man who had
run away with another mans wife
The names might surprise their de-
scendants, now numbered among New
York's -four hundred"
The documents date from 1IIo to
1853, the majority belonging to the
years Of the last decade Of the Eight
eenth century and the first two dec
edes Of the Nineteenth.
