Sir Charles Dilke, ono sf England's most eminent author ities on naval and military matters, was interviewed concerning the reports that Admiral Tryon was suffering from temporary mental derangement when he conducted the maneuvers off Tripoli. Sir Charles said: "While the foreign office has a good deal to say on this sub ject, I must confess that Admiral Tryon never gave me the idea that he had any mental weakness whatever. One of tho lords of the admirality said that a better sailor than Tryon never trod a ship's deck. The blunder simply passes com prehension. Had Tryon lived, he must have been adjudged guilty, according to the present evidence, and unless the crown used its prerogative, have been shot.? The Cranky Chronicle. London July 4.

All the northern coast Indians have ft trailition of a flood which destroyed all mankind, except a pair from which the earth was again, peopled. Each tribe gives the story a local coloring, but the plot of the legend is much the same. The Bella Coola tradition is as follows: The creator of the universe, Mes-mes-M-la-nik, had great difficulty in the ar rangement of the land and water. Tha earth persisted in sinking out of sight. At last he hit upon a plan which worked very well. Taking a long lino of twisted walrus hide he tied it around the dry land and fastened the other end to the corner of the moon. Everything -worked well for along time, but at last the spirit became very much offended at tho action of mankind, and in a fit of anger one day seized his great stone knife and with a mighty hack severed the rope of twisted skin. Immediately tho land began to sink into the sea. The angry waves rushed in torrents up the valleys, and in. a short time nothing was visible except the peak of a very high mountain. All mankind perished in the whelming waters with the exception of two, a man and his wife, who were out fishing in a big canoe. These two succeeded in reaching the top of the mountain and proceeded to make themselves at home. Here they remained for some time unto, the anger of Mes-mes-sa-la-nik cooled, which resulted in his fishing up the sev ered throng and again fastening it to the moon. From this pair thus saved the earth was again populated. Victoria (B. C.) Colonist.
