“My experience in midocean last
yaar with swarms of flying fish is one
of the most pleasinf incidents that
ever took place in any ot my ocean
voyages,” said Samuel W. Young. "I
was on a voyage from San Francisco
to Bong Kong, China, on board the
magnificent steamer Belgio. The trip
aoross the continent to 'Frisco pretty
Well tired me out and by the time we
were out of the Golden Gate I was
overoome by the god of the sea. The
voyage for a week was very monot
onous. When midooean was reached
we encountered the aftermath of a
typhoon that had evidently passed
only a day or two before. The sea
was very rough and great swells like
mountains arose and receded, causing
our great ship to sway to and fro,
almost to an angle of forty-five de
grees. At first we were frightened,
but as it kept up for three days and
nights we got used to it.
“During this mighty rocking
swarms of flying fish could be seen to
leave the mountains of water as they
were rolled up. The fish would fly
aeroaa the valley of water and enter
the next mountain as it followed the
other. They seemed determined on a
straight course, despite the raging*
of a great tide. Once as the steamer
mounted one of the great swells and
turned fearfully to one side a swarm
of these fish, in attempting one of
these freaks, flew right into the ship
on the lower deok. What a feast it
was to the passe ngarpl Every pas
senger claimed one of the poor cap
tives. They were not larger than an

'/V
ordinary herring:, and were perfeotly
shaped, only they had two wings so
well formed that it was a matter of
taste or convenience to them whether
they would fly or swim. I secured
the wings of the one I got and pressed
them in a book, which has been a
great curiosity to those who never
saw a real flying fish, and to carry
out the test of the merits of the sea
sport had the steward to serve the
fish for my dinner that afternoon,
which was a very delicious dish."
LINCOLN’S VIEW OP THE MOON.
Cool da *t Understand Why the Moon
Looked UpeldS Down.
From 1842 to 1866 Professor Asaph
llall worked on the nlne-and- a- half
inch equatorial at the naval ob
servatory under James Fergason,
making observations and reducing
his work. One night, while he was
working alone in the dome, the trap
door by whioh it was entered from
below opened and a tall, thin figure,
crowned by a stovepipe hat, arose in
the darkness. It turned out to be
President Lincoln. He had oome up
from the White house with Secretary
Stanton. He wanted to take a look
at the heavens through the telescope.
Professor Hall showed him the various
objects of interest, and finally turned
the telescope on the half moon. The
president looked at it a little while
and went away. A few nights later
the trapdoor opened again, and the
same figure appeared. He told Pro
fessor Hall that after leaving the ob
servatory he had looked at the moon,
and it was wrong side up as he had
seen it through the telescope. He
was puszled and wanted to know the
V.’v ' *
cause, so he had walked up from the
White house alone. Professor Hall
explained to him how the lens of a
telescope fives an inverted image,
and President Lincoln went away
satisfied.
Nicety of Touch.
It is a common opinion that ms
chinery works with an exactness and
steadiness of movement not to be ac
quired by a laborer’s hand. This is
not really true. The workman can
suit his stroke to the needs of the
case as* no machine oan do, and this
is proved in the trimming of roofing
slates. The splitting process is per
formed with great nicety by means
of chisels, but the shaping is more
remarkable, and cannot be properly
executed by any who have not been
trained to it from youth. The work
man sits on a stool with a pad on one
knee and a ledge by his side. He
lays the slate on the pad on his knee,
and allowing the part to be cut to rest
cn the ledge, strikes it with a heavy
knife, and separates it instantaneous
ly with the greatest accuracy.
Sea Monster.
A strangle sea monster was recently
met with by the good bark Loongana
as she was drifting about in the vi
cinity of the Santa Crus group. It
was a gruesome beast, very like a
whale at its nether end. Its body was
30 feet long and 11 feet wide, dark in
color and spotted with white, with a
head containing a mouth large
enough to t take in twelve men.
Alarmed at the advances of the beast,
the crew had recourse to a Winchester
rifle. But the monster was invulner
able in the body. Its weak spot was
the head. After two wasted shots a
-«
third was skillfully planted in the
skull, and with one sweep of the tail
the monster turned and disappeared.
Deadly Bacilli.
Advices from Buenos Ayres tell ol
an extraordinary murder trial in
which the murderer, a professor of
chemistry, killed his guests by inocu
lating them with the bacilli of cholera
and when assured that his conviction
was certain, completed the tragedy
by taking a mysterious poison. It is
® ^Ti?rdiVand Khastly story, and one
which the up-to-date novelists and
dramatists will scarcely fail to utilize
la their respective crafts.
The Lily.
It is not very long since the design
of a fleur de lis, or lily, was used tc
brand criminals in France. Now the
gracefully drooping curves of the
flower are in great favor among lovers
oi elaborate modern jewelry.

THEY WERE SUSPICIOUS.
The Lady 1-ro.niaeJ, Vat the Boy.
Wouldn't Trust Her.
! it happened at one of tlie island
lake resorts of Wisconsin. A young
man from Chicago was stopping there
with his wife, and the wife had wan
dered down to the shore of the lake
to enjov the evening breeze. A short
pier jutting-out into the lake looked
inviting, and she went out on it, un
mindful of several small urchins who
were hovering about the boat house
ot the shore end of the pier. A few
minutes later her husband came to
the lake to join her, but was inter
cepted by one of the urchins.
“Say, mister, is that your girl?”
asked the boy.
“She is my wife,” replied the young
man. .
“Well, you tell her to go home,
cause we boys wants to go in swim
min’,” said the youngster, and, think
ing that would settle the matter,
they all retired to the boat house to
undress.
The young man promptly informed
his wife of the request, but she was
enjoying herself and was not anxious
to leave. She laughed, and called to
a new arrival at the boat house!
“Tell the boys,” she said, when he
had come to her, "to run out and
jump in the water if they wish to. I
won’t look.”
The little fellow hurried to the
boat house with the message, and
there was an immediate council of
war. At its conclusion he returned
to the end of the pier and said:
“Please, ma’am, the boys say they
dasn’t risk it.”
A MAN'S POCKET.
Filled With no Account Staff That Be
Treasures.
“Men are fond of laughiDg at the
little ways and whims of women,”
said our sprightly hostess, “but 1 wish
some man would expl ain to me why
he carries unimportant papers about
with him for months, wearing them
out in so doing.
“I have often watched my husband
carefully change the contents of coat
or trousers pockets from o ne suit of
clothes to another. Soiled, worn en
velopes and folded papers are tender
ly transferred, and for a long "time I
was impressed w ith the Importance
of the operation, and drew an invol
untary sigh of relief when the opera
tion was over. One day my curiosity
got the better of me, and I begged
for a s ight of those mysterious docu
ments guarded with so much care.
“To please me my husband exam
ined them. He found several unre
ceipted bills—some that had been
paid and receipts filed; a note from a
friend, dated three months back, re
gretting that he didn’t find him in his
office when he called; one or two bus
iness cards of firms he had no recol
lection of knowing; several advertise
ment circulars, a play bill of last sea
son’s perfor mance, preserved for some
forgotten temporary reason, and per
haps three really important papers
among the whole lot. And I honestly
believe if I had not pro mpted the in
vestigation lie would be treasuring
those worthless bits of paper to this
day, under the impression that they
were of value.” J
