I have often wondered why the

twenty-one guns, and thinking that
an explanation of the same might in
terest readers, looked the matter up.
with tv? following results, quotation
from Hansons "I acts and fancy:
"The United States national salute
is a gun for each state; for the presi
dent twenty-one guns, seventeen for
the vice president, fifteen for cabinet
officers, governors, eto. Originally
the president was saluted with as
many guns as there were states in
the Union. This idea was finally
abandonod in the year 1819, when
thore were exactly twenty-one states,
tho commissioners deciding that
'hereafter twen - one guns shall be
the national pre '.cntial salute.'"

The refusal ot the house of com
mons to adjourn on Derby day recalls
a story related of one ot the Roman
Catholic peers who took their seats
some four or five years after the
passage of the first reform bill, after
an exclusion of a century and a half.
' He gave notioe that on a certain day
he would make a certain motion,
whereupon there arose from bis no
ble colleagues a general cry of "Der
by!" The astonished novice named
another day, only to be greeted with
an equally unanimous expostulation
of Oaks!'' At this, he explained
that he would have to ask the for
giveness of their lordships, but, hav
log been educated abroad, be waa
forced to admit that he was not fa

Tb I4ta of Whales.
It is believed that whales often at

substance known as "whalebone."
These lamina increase yearly, just as
THI WAKULLA VOLCANO.
aaaak I U VaiaMa,
la the Ungled wildwood of that
part of the great Florida swamp tbat
border on the territory of phosphate
mining, a prospect r ha mace an
nU-rtiiig discovery, lie has solved
the fam us mystery of the Wakulla
volcano,
U-arnil men for a long time have
held that an active volcano must ex-
t In this hitherto inaceswible re-
gUni. For many yea-s scientists, ad-
ven:urer and explorers have made
spasmodic attempt to penetrate the
swamp, lured on by the strange tales
of the ehi. pin people who live in its
vieiuity, and by tho wonderful phe
nomena which they themselves have
obsere! from afr.
1'he nvarying it port of the coun
try folk bat boon that out of this
great swamp from tho time of their
fathers and grandfathers cluds of
steam and smoke have risen in vol
umes, and that at certain periods
flames of Ore have been seen to bolch
orth as from the crater of a huge
volcano, making at night a most
weird display on the distant horizon.
1 ne swamp is located on the Gulf
of Mexico, and i many square miles
n ex tt ' It Is just south of Talla
hassee, the state ca Ital, and covers
part ot Walkulle and Jefferson
counties. It is most easily ap
proached from tKe ' ,te of ( eorgia.
During the civil war Union gun
boats on the way to tho siege of New
Orleans anchored off the place and
shelled the spot where the smoke
was issuing in tho boliof that it was

conclusive discovery, largoly to grat
ify his own curiosity.
lie found tho surface ot tho swamp
honey-combed with holes made by
the fire. Thoy extended for miles
and miles, shewing that the firo bad
steadily burned for many years.
The depth of the vast fissures was
about five feet, and in the bo', torn of
the deepest salt water was found,
which proved that tho surface of the
wamp was but littlo higher than the
level of the gulf, and underground
channels were discovered which
drain the swamp of its waters.
As he approneHl the locality
where the fire wa r 'ive the air was
filled with thick smoke, the stench ot
decaying fish became almo-t unbear
able, and boomin -s like that of dis
tant cannon were 1 eard.
Tho earth ot roots and coarse veg
etable fibres, protected by a water
proof moss, like an immense peat bog,
had fed the fire with a ceaseless sup
ply ot fuel. In such a soil the flames
ould smoulder for months during
the rainy season to burst forth when
the sun and the drought returned.
Ihe tall trees, to tho very top of
which the flames have climbed, ac
count for the phenomena of the
spouting fires at which people have
stood aghast for generations.
The success of the discovery is due
to the fact that the approach was
made from the north side, by which
the pools and dense growth of cane
brake, which have been hindrances
to former explorers, were avoided.
Plenty of time and abundance of
provisions were available, and the
work of hewing a path t irough the
dense undorgrowth and fallen trees
was taken up systematically and pa
tiently.
A Csrpot With a lllitory.
A curious history is attached to a
carpet usod recently In tho produc.
tion at the l'rlnce of V ales theater
of, the comic opera "Poor Jonathan."
When the star of Napoleon IIL was
at its zenith an Aubusson carpet of a
magnificent description was ordered
by General Fleury for the chateau at
Compiegne, but when it was seen by
the emperor directions were given
that it should be transfeired to the
Tuilerles. In 1S71, during the com
mune, the carpet was appropriated,
and with the other artistio works
dispatched to Austria. 1'he ca pet
bas since had eevoral owners, but
owing to its size bas proved practi
cally useless. To its present posses
sor it was sold for 150, believed to
be about an eighth part of its orig.
inal value. So much is thought of
this carpet, which in "Poor Jona
than" will be laid down in the recep
tion room of the millionaire Vander
gold by the manager of the Prince of
W tiles', that he has had the dresses
of the characters appearing in this
scone made to harmonize with its
colors. Such a circumstance is prob
ably unique in theatrical annals.

Grandma adjusted her spectacles

A Death Valley Heard.
There is found on the edge ot
Death valley in California, a lizard
somewhat similar to the Gila mon
ster, although more agile. It is
strictly vegetarian. This fellow is
called the chuckawalla by the Coa

very fond ot his flesh. The meat ot
this cousin of the dread monster is

GOLD FOUND IN OEORQIA.
aId m wklu Imi;
That
TarrtUwy Lmmdm U WH4U
A representative of the Progr had
a long and Interesting Ulk a fw days
ago with J. R. Lumsden, one ot the
most successful gold miners In the
country. The talk brought back mem
ories of days fc.en big find" were
made In this country, says Cleveland
(Oa.) Progress. It was In 1X80 that Mr.
Lumsden was working for gold on a
branch on his place, seven miles above
here. One afternoon be had two men at
work when they discovered some small
nuggets three feet under the ground.
Mr. Lumsden bad the dirt removed
from a small place and had struck a
layer of gravel. In two hours after he
had struck it be had taken out 900 pen
nyweights of the precious metal. He
mined on the same lot for two months.
In a space not larger than 50x100, and
In that time took out (3,500 In nug
gets. In one place, about 10x12, be got
1,200 pennyweights. Two big nuggets
were found on this lot One weighed
341 pennyweights and the other
weighed 307. Talking of big nuggets.
It was about five years ago that John
Thurmond, while at work on what is
known as the White & McQee prop
erty, dug up a nugget which weighed
504 pennyweights. "There are thous
ands of pennyweights In White county
yet." said Mr. Lumsden. "and all that is
needed Is money to develop our gold
property. Money Is still to be made by
placer mining, but the best gold and
the most of it Is In veins. People can
brag, but I can tell you there Is more
gold in the ground In White county to
day than In any other county In the
world."
AN INFERNAL MACHINE.
It I Brnt to Cilrl With the Kvldent
t'urx of Injurluc Her.
An Infernal machine was recently
sent to Miss Gertie Splcer, ot Guy,
Wash., which came near ending that
young lady's life. The machine was
cleverly constructed ot a cigar box,
containing a block ot wood bored full
of holes, in which six tin tubes, In ap
pearance not unlike shotgun shells,
had been placed, the tubes being con
nected by a groove In the bottom of the
box, and tubes and grooves being filled
with gunpowder, the other spaces ot
the box being filled with cotton satur
ated with acid. To explode this a cap
was placed on the end ot a nail, the
trigger being arranged to spring on
raising the lid. It first having been set
through a small hole In the end of the
box. The box also contained two 38-
callbre pistol cartridges, but these
failed to explode. The package was
sent through the malls and when Miss
Splcer got it from the postofllce at
Pullman she was somewhat suspicious
of Its appearance, and thought tbat per
haps some would-be joker had enclosed
In the box a toad with the intention ot
frightening her. Her suspicion of this
probably saved her life, for she put the
box down on the sidewalk and raised
the cover with a stick. As soon as the
cover was raised an inch or two an ex
plosion occurred which shook the build
ings, but Miss Splcer was not seriously
hurt. A disappointed lover Is thought
to be responsible for the villainous at
tempt at murder.
TRAINS SPARROWS TO FIGHT.
Diversion to Whli li John Chinaman Has
Utven Himself In Gotham.
There Is a use for English sparrows
wblch the average American citizen ot
sporting proclivities has not so far dis
covered. It remains for the Chinese in
the United States to direct attention to
a novel purpose to which cock spar
rows may be devoted somewhat 1n com
pensation for their otherwise useless
existence. That John Chinaman some
where from some source inherited con
siderable sporting blood, though he
may not cut much of a shine himself
In a street brawl with urchins and
sandlotters, Is pretty generally known.
That he has a wholesome respect for
American justice Is also a familiar fact.
Cock fighting Is prohibited; dog fight
Ing likewise. So, in order to have Just
as much fun as he would at a cock or
a dog fight, John has made experiments
with cult sparrows and the result is
said completely to fill the measure of
his happiness. The fighting sparrows
are trained on the same principles as
game cocks; their wings are clipped
and their spurs fitted to gaffs as keen
as the point of a needle. They can
soon be trained to make as good fight
ers as two Spanish roosters, and those
who have witnessed an exhibition of
this sort declare that, next to a rat
killing, no Chinaman will admit that
anything can surpass in interest a
cocking main between two educated
sparrows. Commercial Advertiser.
FLIRTED WITH SANDOW'S WIFE
Way In Which the Man of Strength
Punished a Masher.
Sandow, the man of muscle, had quite
an odd adventure In a street car the
other day, He was accompanied by his
pretty wife, nee Blanche Brooke, of
Manchester, England. A professional
"masher" with a dyed mustache and
artistically fashionable clothes began
a violent flirtation with Mrs. Sandow,
ogling her most impertinently. San
dow let the fellow have his way for a
time. Then he stepped up to him,
grasped him violently by the hand, and
greeted him cordially. "Let me intro
duce you to my wife," he said, smiling
ly, to the man, who was now pale from
the pain inflicted by the iron grip of
the athlete. "She will surely be glad
to know you." The masher speedily
realized that he had made one more
mistake and beat an unlovely retreat.
Sandow is very proud of this episode.
