WON DE‘RS OF ‘NASSAU.
A. Phosphoroé‘cent Lake That Is Luminous
at Night.
Having in remembrance old Sampson
Stamp, of Key West, the discoverer of
the sea gardens at Nassau, we took a
pilot and sailboat the following morn-
ing and sailed some four miles up the
channel. There We disembarked inn
rowboatwith a glass ION/£0111, made b5"
inserting therein plates of thick glass,
through which the bottom of the sea
spread out before us like. dry land. A
strange feeling crept over me and in im-
agination I fancied myself with Jules
Verne on the voyage of “Twenty Thou-
sand Leagues Under the Sea.” We could
see all the little fishes, minnows one
inch long and larger kinds one foot,
two feet and three feet. in length, some
white and black and blue,besides many
angelfish, all yellow like a canary, with
bright blue fins and tail, swam by
beneath us. Like the ripe wheat
fields in summer sway to the breeze so
there in the submarine currents waved
great bunches of fun-leaf coral, pur-
ple, yellow and white. The water was
clear as air, and, pointing to some es-
peciall y beautiful specimen-s of rock and
fans, our little darky dove over, and,
like the fish, we could see him swimming
down until at last, clutching the growth
with two hands and feet firmly braced
against the coral, he gave a tug and
away came to the top, fan in hand. In-
deed, God hath wrought marvelous
things in this world of His, but nothing
of greater bewitching fancy than the
sea gardens of Nassau.
When night came and before the
moon was up a'drive of two miles back
on New Providence island brought us
to a most interesting work of nature.
A lake some 1,000 feet long and 300 feet
wide lay quiet and black as any other
sheet of water at night might do. But
Once in a rowboat and shoved off from
shore what a mighty change was
wrought! Two small out-swimmers,
the hue of the surrounding darkness,
accompanied our boat of fire, for such
it seemed. Like two human'torches our
darkies swam. by our side as in a clov l
of phosphorescent fire. At the sliglt-
est. disturbance the whole surrour-{ingr
water lit up like molten silver. ’
\.'~
Each
boy’s toes and fingers were as though
the sun shone on them, and fish darted
through the quiet water-like sky-rock-
ets, leaving a glittering trail behind.
The 'light was so vivid I could see the
time by my watch, and when a wave was
sent. upward with the oar the falling
drops were like blue-tinted pearls. The
movements of our boat made, enough
light to plainly show the bottom, for
the water is from the ocean and as clear
as all that which nature makes to flow
about those lovely Bahamas. Enticed
by the water’s warmth and the hot
night my friend and I went in swim-
ming, but only fora few minutes. From
this swim comes a story hard to believe,
but as true as Gospel. That night, as
was my custom before turning in, I
went to the bath-room, which I could
easily darken, to change some photo
plates in my holders. then about to
pull the slides I noticed the phosph‘orec
cence, which I had brought from the
lake. shining from my bare feet and giv-
ing so much white light I had to. cover
them with a towel before I dared ex-
pose the plate-s to what. a moment be-‘
fore had been intense darkness—Forest
and Stream. -
No Turkey for Them. . *
"‘Give a sailor pie three times a day,”
said an old sea captain, “and he would
still kick.” Pie is the alpha and omega
of a sailor's ideas on luxury of food. The
sailor is naturally suspicious, and the
sea lawyer nurtures this suspicion, as-
may be illustrated by the following
vouched-for incident: Some years ago
the whale ship Ohio was cruising in the
northern Pacific waters, and the growls
of the men against the food had been
long and deep. The skipper of the ves-
sel was Capt. Thomas Ellis, and his wife
was aboard. Mrs. Ellis heard the. mur-
murs and, womanlike, persuaded the
skipper to let her fix up a meal for the
men. He, however, told her that her
efforts would not be appreciated, and
might even cause trouble. Anyhow,
the good woman persisted, and with her
own hands prepared a fat. turkey and
all the “fixings.” The fowl was sent.
forward to the forecastle, and Mrs. Ellis
thought the men would for once have
no complaint to make about the dinner.
As a matter of fact, the men hove the
turkey overboard, “for,” said their sea
lawyer, “something‘s the matter with
it, or it would never have come for-
ward.”—N. Y. Tribune.
For a. Linen Shower.
She is, indeed, a fortunate. young wom-
an whose friends decide to give her the
benefit of a linen shower at her be-
trothal. A linen shower will go fur-
ther to give her beautiful things for
her table than any other way devised,
and the cmbroideries will be doubly
charming as the gifts, perhaps the
work, of thoughtful friends. But some-
times t‘he friends run short of ideas and
think that one can have enough center
pieces or (lollies or bureau scarfs.
“T idies” are out of fashion. What gift
in linen can be made which will be at
once novel and pretty? There is no
lack of things. PictUre frames, pin
trays, pin cushions, laundry bags,
nightdress cases, ornamental towels
for looks, not for use; sachets, sofa
cushions—these are a few suggestions.
The necessary linens for table, bed and
toilet are furnished, it is to be pre-
sumed, in the trousseau. What .the
linen shower provides is only the lux-
uries. Everything, therefore, must be
extremely fine and daintily worked, else
the purpose of the gathering and gift
presentation is defeated—N. Y. Her-
ald.
——An idea, like a ghost (according ta
the common nOtion of a. ghost), must
be spoken to a little before it will ex-
plain itself—Dickens.

THE EVENI
AT AN INDIAN’S GRAVE.
Where “Home, Sweet Home,” Was ,
First Sung by Its Author. e
[t Secured‘ for Him the Favor and
Friendship of His Captors — An In-
cident of the Tennessee and
Georgia Boundary War.
When .the boundary line between
Tennessee and Georgia was established
it passed half a mile south of the spring
Tuck-a—lee-chee—chee, among the foot-
hills of the Unakas, and as it. crossed
one} of the principal Indian trails it-
bccame a place of much importance.
There had already grown up a strong
rivalry between the Tennessee tribes,
headed by Chief Ross, and the Georgia
tribes, headed by Maj. Ridge, both half
breeds and men of extraordinary ability
as leaders. The establishment of the
new boundary line fixed the limits of
their respective territories, and to try
and hormonize as far as possible the
contending factions the government es
tablished a trading post there.
John Howard, Payne appeared upon
the scene and was accused of inciting
the Indians .30 insubordination. He
was placed under arrest. as an incen-
diary and carried to the cOuncil house.
The name of the place was changed
from the euphonious Indian appella»
tion of Tuck-a-lee—chee-chee to the one
more easily pronounced of Red Clay,
because of the color of the soil in that
vicinity.
While Payne was held there one of
the first bands arrived, and among the
Indians was the chief, Oo-chee, or Rat-
tling Gourd, a broken-hearted man.
He was moody and abstracted and re-
fused all invitations to the council
house and would partake of no festive
enjoyments whatsoevc r, but spent most
of his time at the graves of his wife and
child farther up the valley.
At ,last one morning he was missed
from his accustomed place by the camp-
fire and an alarm was immediately
raised that Battling Gourd had es-
caped.
The patrol scattered in every direc-
tion in search of him, and some one
thought of his fondness for the spot
where his loved ones slept and went-
in search of him there.
And there they found him. Welter-
ing in his own blood, his body lay be-
tween the little mounds that covered
his squaw and papoose.
In some way he had secreted a bayo-
net when the Indians were being dis-
armed, and brooding over his removal,
he became desperate, and, seeking that
lone spot, he chanted his death song,
fell upon the. point of the bayonet,
which pierced his heart, and died on the
spot where he had often expressed a
desire to be laid for his last long sleep.
The affair caused great excitement
and indignation. The .malcontents
took advantage of the distressing oc-
currence to stir up strife, and fears
were entertained of mutiny.
A grave was dug on the spot where
he lay and the chief was buried by the
soldiers, one of the Moravian mission-
aries officiating. After the services
were over John Howard Payne, who
had been a silent witness to the pa—
thetic scene, began singing softly to
himself the song which has since been
echoed through every land on earth.
Gen. Bishop, who had kept a close
scrutiny on his actions, heard the song
and called Payne to him.
“Young men,” said the stern old In-
dian fighter, “where did you learn that
song?”
“I wrote that song myself,” replied
Payne.
“And where did you get the tune ?”
“I composed that also.”
“Would you let me have a copy
of it?”
“Certainly I will.”
“Well, a man who can sing and write
like that is no incendiary. Appear-
ances may be against you, but I am go-
ing to set you free. I shall write out
your discharge immediately and a. pass
to anywhere you choose through the
nation.”
Payne had been housed at the home
of a family living near by and on his
return there he exhibited his pass and
related the circumstances. That was
the first time that“Home,vaeetHome,"
had ever been sung in public—Atlanta
Constitution.
The Couperative Idea Among Farmers.
A striking evidence of the dominance
of the associative idea among the set-
tlers of irrigated lands is seen in the
plan of a colony which settled in south-
ern Idaho as recently as 1894. These
colonists had observed that the min-
ing-camps of that region were littered
with tin cans, the labels of which bore
evidence of the prosperity of distant
industries. They also learned that
the condensed milk used in that
locality came from New Jersey,
the creamery butter from Minneso-
ta, the starch from Maine, and the
bacon principally from Chicago. As
the raw materials of these products are
all easily grown in Idaho, the colonists
determined to provide the simple in-
dustrial plants required to manufacv
ture the raw material into marketable
form. They added to the. price of their
land ten dollars perfiacre, and thereby
raised a capital of $50,000, which was
somewhat increased by the sale of busi-
ness property in the village. This
capital provided a. creamery, cannery,
fruit-evaporator, starch-factory, pork-
packing establishment and cold-stor-
age plant. Taken in connecti0n with
their diversified farms. these little in-
dustries constituted, in an industrial
sense, a symmetrical community. ——
William E. Smythe, in Century.
To Capture Wild Horses.
It is stated that in portions of the
antipodes, where wild horses abound,
they are readily captured by a very
simple device. Strips of white cloth
are strung from tree to tree insuch
'a way as to form three sides of an in-
closure and the band driven into it.
The: cloth proves a most. effective fence,
as. the animals will not go near it.—- ‘

A SALT WATER WELL.
Sunk for the Supply of Pools and Tanks
at the New York Aquarium.
The salt water pools and tanks of the
New York‘aquarium at Battery park
are now supplied from a well sunk on
the premises. The aquarium‘s salt wa-
ter supply was originally drawn direct
from the bay through an intake pipe
carried out near the bottom from the
Battery sea wall. The water thus taken
was filtered in the usual manner before
delivering it into the pools. This
source of supply was continued until
the completion of the salt water well. ‘
The Castle Garden structure, In which
the aquarium is located, is built on
made ground; the tide was known to
rise and fall under sometparts of the
building. There is a cellar under that
part of the building which fronts on
Battery park, and there an: excavation
was made wit-h a view to the sinking
of a salt water well. This excavation
was carried down to a point below tide
level, seven feet below the cellar and
13 feet below the floor of the aquarium,
through made ground found to consist
of a number of feet of stone and gravel,
filled in on top of two tiers- of logs laid
crosswise and resting upon stone-
thrown in on the bottom. In this ex-
cavation, which w‘as about 250 feet in-
land from the Battery sea wall, the tide
rose and fell about one hour later than
its rise and fall in the open waters ad-
jacent to the Battery. The tests of this
temporary well as to supply and char-
acteristics being satisfactory, work
was begun upon the permanent plant
now in use.
The well was carried down to a
depth of 17 feet, and a perforated iron
tube was sunk in it, with width was
placed the suction pipe of the pump
that is attached to it. The water is
drawn through a wrought-iron gal-
vanized pipe seven inches in diameter
and 207 feet in length, which, .with a
number of easy bends, follows along in-
side the wall of a section of the nearly
circular building from the well to the
pump, which is located near the boiler-
room and the aquarium’s supply tanks.
The capacity of the. pump is 600 gallons
a minute; it has been tested to the full
capacity of the delivery pipe, with the
result of showing ample supply in the
well. The requirements of the aquari-
um, however, are less than this.
The water from the well is of the
same density as that taken from the
winter and about ten degrees cooler
in summer. It is drawn through what
is in effect a great natural filter, and it
is beautifully clear. This supply is de-
sirable for the aquarium stock, and its
economy is obvious, doing away, as it.
does, with the use of artificial filters
and the need for the material required
in operating them.
; 'There is, so far as Dr. Bean. of the
aquarium is informed, no other aquari-
um in the world with a like source of
salt water supply—N. Y. Sun. ‘
SAVED BY A COWBOY’S SHOT.
Remarkable Adventure of an American
with an African Gorilla.
A resident of Cincinnati, recently re-
turned from Delagoa buy, on the east
coast. of Africa, relates a story of a con-
flict with a gorilla. that came near cost-
ing him his life. “My permanent quar-
ters,” he. said, in telling the story, “were
at the Central, but dinner was served
the night I arrived at the International.
I was thoroughly fatigued, and after
dinner I told the manager I wished to
go to my room. He walked to the door
and yelled for a servant in a voice that
could be heard above a driving wind
and dashing rain. Out of the black
darkness came a negro as black as the
night itself. He took my bag, and,
with instructions from the manager
to keep close to my guide, we. started.
“The way led through what I after-
ward learned was a garden. We had
not gone more than 30 or 40 paces when
i heard a fierce cry and at the same mo-
ment I received a. violent blow on the
head. The force of the blow almost
stunned me, but I managed to whip out
my revolver and shoot at my assailant.
Instantly I was grasped in a grip that
seemed to crush my very bones. One
hand was free and I fired two shots
from my revolver. Then came another
crushing blow on the head and I lost
consciousness.
“Three days later I came to myself.
My head achcd and my body was sore,
even to the touch. I then learned that
my unknown enemy had been a gorilla.
It seems that some hunters returning
from the interior had brought a huge
beast as a present to the hotel man.
' There were no accommodations for the
newcomer, and until they could be pro-
vided, he had ‘been chained to a- big
tree in the garden. By some means
he had broken his chain, though it was
- an exceptionally strong one, and I was
the first thing he fOund to pounce upon.
“When I fired the second shot, an
American in the hotel, ‘Texas Wilson’
by name, had heard it, and calling for a
lantern, he seized his gun and ran out
to see what the trouble was. After
he had gone about 200 yards the light
from his lantern flashed full in the face
of a giant gorilla, who was carrying me
on his back. The beast scowled and ut-
tered repeated angry cries. Wilson
was a. man who possessed courage of
the highest. order, and the coolness that
long experience in the southwest as a.
cowboy had taught him. He was a
dead shot and he waited until he could
get a chance at my captor without in-
juring me. When it came he fired. The
animal fell. He carried me to the hotel
and here I am.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Simple Flying. Toy.
. One of the earliest flying models was
made by putting four fe. thers into a
cork so as to make a propeller. Two
of these propellers with feathers slop-
ing in opposite ways were set- on a
stick, one propeller being fixed, the
other revolving. A bow of whalebone
was attached so that its'cord could be
twisted around the stick. Upon wind-
ing up the cord, and then letting g0,
the model would be driven upward.—
