His hobby was sea exploration. A new fish or ,an uncharted island was more to him than any pleasures land offered. Mrs. Grant had been dead for years, but Nellie Grant, a pretty girl of twenty, accompanied her father on his long cruises in his splendid 2,000 ton yacht, the Athene. Dr. Haynes was in charge of the scientific side of these expeditious. Young Frank Leigh had been lately chosen by the millionaire as assistant naturalist. This was his first voyage, and he thoroughly enjoyed the work. He would have been quite happy if it had not been for the strong dislike his superior had conceived for him and which he wasted no opportunity of showing. The fact was that Ilnjnos, atti acted as much by the young lady's prospects as her beauty, had made up his mind to marry Miss Nellie, and he was furious with Frank for his manners, looks and youth, in all of which points he felt his own inferiority. When off Samoa, some weeks before, Frank Leigh had caught a fish which he '''\"imagined'to be a new species and wished to name after Mr. Grant. Haynes had succeeded in proving that the fish was al-; ready classified and had never ceased to taunt the younger man with hjs mistake. Now that Leigh imagined himself on the track of a new discovery he was giving \\ his tongue freer rein than ever. The Athene lay in Guaytnas hay, on the Pacific coast of Mexico. It was here that. Leigh,.who spoke Spanish, learned from a fisherman, Julio Montijas, of the manta raya, a creature which seemed peculiar to a short stretch of this volcanic coast and of which he could find no description in any work on the subject. At dinner that night Haynes began again. \"Leigh\/' he said, \"you will have to hurry up and catch that pet nightmare of yours. I hear we sail the day after tomorrow.\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd .\/\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \" \"What nightmare are you talking about?\" inquired Nellie, with interest, looking at'Frank. Haynes cut in: \"Oh, Leigh and one of these Greaser fishermen have invented fa -new sort \/Of devilfish. They have even decided where it lives.\" Every one stopped eating aad listened. Frank got hot and uncomfortable. \"What is the creature?\" asked Mr. Grant. \"It is what the fishermen call the manta raya, or striped mantle, Mr. Grant,\" said Leigh. \"Another name for it is 'shroud of the sea.' So far as I'can understand, it is a 'creature of the octopus family, but has this remarkable peculiarity, that it does not Jive like other large cuttlpfish on the bottom, but hangs (just, below the wash of the sea, ready to ingulf anything (lhat floats across it. Its body is wider and thinnpr than that of the octopus, and 1 should fancy it is an even lower organism, partaking more of \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd lie nature of the flytraps' among ' plants. Some of the men deefhre it grows large puougb to pull down a boat. There is iit- 'tle*doubt, however, that it can catch and drown a swimmer. A man called Leude- ias recently so lost his life, and the very r snot where it happened is near w'bjyre we are anchored.\" . ,' \"What a-dreadful creature!\" broke in Miss Grant. \"Do be careful where you bathe. Mr. Leigh.\" \"No need to warn Leigh1',about that,\", said ' naynes. \"He wouldn't' even row with me today to the place where this monster lurked.\" < \"' Thecyacht's second officer,1 a man called Ileuson, smiled. So did one or two others.' Haynes went on, encouraged: - \"Tell you what I'll do, Leigh. Tomorrow morning I'll'have out'the small dingey, and row to the fatal spot, and I dare; yon to come with me and-bathe off the rock near by.\" ' ' ^ \"I must decline to do anything of the sort,\" said Leigh .very quietly. \"But I .will follow you iu the skiff and only hope you will not, need my assistance.\" - \"Better not,\" said'Haynes offensively. \"The pretty creature might [Catch you an Well.\" , ' r\" \\ > ' . 'Honson laughed again.'\" Nellie ^looked uncomfortable. Fortunately dinner -was just over.' i - . La'tcr Mr. Grant-.met Leigh on deck. \"Leigh,\" hesaid. rather sharply, \"I hope that you have some grounds for your assertions,at dinner. ,Haynes thinks it, is all nonsense,^ and you know how I dislike any unpleasantness ^of, this kind.

Then he got into her and followed. - , It was only a.quarteriof a mile from the yacht to where the great, rock rosecin , the purple shadow,- of the cliff. - The merest ghost of a breeze stirred a dainty ripple on' the surface of the water and added brilliance to its *\" reflection of the blue above. '^Haynes jammed a boathook into a cleft of the rock, looped the boat's painter around it, and, ' letting the little craft swing with the tide, prepared to dive over the stern. \"At that moment Nellie Grant, whose eyes had been fixed on that puzzling greenish patch which still swayed uncertainly beneath the ripple, screamed: \"Father, it's moving!\" Haynes heard the cry and looked up. The strong light on the water made it impossible for him to see below the surface as those on the cliff could. \"Hold on, Haynes!\" came Mr. Grant's voice strong and clear from above. \"Get back to the rock!\" screamed Nellie. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdHaynes looked around him. The purple of the limpid watec was changing to an ugly greenish yellow hue. He stepped hastily back to the bow, seized the rope and began pulling the boat back to the rock.- In his haste he pulled the boathook loose. The boat, released, began softly moving into the channel between the rock and the base of the cliff. Haynes jumped for the oars. He- was conscious of loud shouts from the top of the cliff. The water swirled around the boat like the mouth of a whirlpool. He got the oars into the rowlocks and began pulling desperately. But, at the first stroke, he became aware that the blades were fast in a tangle of something. He tried Lo wrench them free. One broke in two, the other was torn from his grasp. The weed\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdyes, it was nothing but seaweed\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwas rising to the surface all around him. How silly to be frightened by a mere raft of seaweed! But what an ugly color it was, striped with dull brown and livid green! And what a lot of it! Ugh!- It was rising and climbing on to the boat. Great, flabby, dripping, half transparent leaves were wrapping themselves all around the stern. They were crawling over the bow too. And the boat was lower in the water. It was sinking, gradually being pulled under. Haynes sprang to his feet again and with the broken oar began striking savagely at the monstrous thing which was enveloping him. He might as welj have beaten, the sea. The blows glided off the tough, slippery surface. Slowly, but with a deadly, relentless pertinacity, the living shroud of death rose on every side, and inch by inch the boat drew down till the water was but an inch from the gunwale. The watchers on the cliff were silent now. They stared, frozen, at the creeping horror below. At that instant something else glided into the scene of action. .Leigh, standing in the skiff and guiding it skillfully with a paddle, shot up. Keeping carefully clear of the wide set tentacles of the raya he quickly flung one of his brown jars against the bow of Haynes' boat. ' A hissing steam arose, and a brilliant flame played across the surface of the water. The clammy bands relaxed. A sob of relief came from above. But the vast.weight which still,clung to the stern of the dingey was rapidly pulling it under. Leigh seized the other jar and smashed it against the stern DQst. More folds fell away, the water bubbled and turned black as the scorched monster emptied his ink bag. But the dingey was full and sinking. \"Jump!\" roared some one , above. Spurred by terror, Haynes' sprang ten feet, clear of the eddying coils,'and Leigh pulled him, panting, into the skiff.

It makes the present generation smile to read the accounts which- have com* down to us concerning the prejudices which were formerly entertained ag<*;inst certain articles which are of everyday consumption. For instance, it is said that when coal was first used in \"England the prejudice against it was so strong that the house of commons petitioned the king to prohibit the use of the \"noxious\" fuel. A royal proclamation having failed tc abate the nuisance, a commission wa? issued to ascertain who burned coal jvKhin the city of London aud its neighborhood, to punish them by force foi the first offense and by the demolition of their furnaces if they persisted in transgressing. A law''was finally passed making it a capital offense to, burn coal in the city and only permitting it to be,used by forges,In the vicinity. It is stated that among the records in the Tower of London a document wag found according to which a man was hanged in the time of Edward I. for-no other crime than having been caught burning coal. It. took three centuries to entirely efface the prejudice. \/x. v -M i! r \"What's de matter wid yer?\" \"Be doctor says it's do mumps, but 'I know it's me heart, Mary.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"New York Journal.

QUAD V coprniGHT, 1901, by c' b. levtis. ** We had been driven below Cape Horn hundreds of miles by, a fierce gale lasting eleven successive days and nights', and one morning we found ourselves among the ice and almost \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwrecked aloft'.' The gale had blown itself out, but the situation was one calling for the best seamanship and the keenest vigilance. Only steam whalers and exploring vessels get as far south as we,found our position to be except by accident. During' the three days we were putting the bark shipshape we were packed in a field of ice extending as far as the eye could' see-on' every hand, 'and even had we been a twin screw steamer I, doubt if we could have worked clear of it. It was field ice broken from the coast of some-island, and some of * the\"'cakes were a good twelve feet thick and almost as hard as'flint.' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ' *' On the fourth day we found ourselves- driving down among six or eight great icebergs,- and the' boats , were -provisioned and other preparations made to leave the bark' at a moment's notice. The odds would-be a thousand to one that the boats-would ,duet south, and such a sea was;beating on it that no, landing was possible, -make our - way over the berg should have needed wings. The movement of the berg crowded the icefields, and the result was the opening of a narrow lane to the north. We were watching aud waiting for-.it, and the \"bark was soon, warped in and\" sail- made. We were lucky enough-to keep this lane until it led us quite out of the floating ice and further danger,\" and looking back as, we sailed every, man of * the crew saw the figures as the three of us had seen them. The spray seemed to dash against their frozen, faces and the waves to rant and growl like hungry wolves., but 'we knew they would not be given to the sea until their strange coffin had_drift- ed out of that frozen and desolated sea into sunshine and warmrh. that he bad been born in \"Virginia and sold into Alabama in 1845.

On one, occasion Oscar II: went to ,Gothenburg to attend a- dedication or the 'opening of something or 'other where he was expected to.'make, a speech. - An enterprising reporter intercepted him at a \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd railway station upon arrival to ask .for a'.copy of his manuscript in advance in order that it might be published the same afternoon, for there would be no time for a stenographer to write'out \"his notes after delivery. The king greeted him pleasantly and explained that he had no manuscript; that he intended to speak without notes. The reporter was very much disappointed. Hetold the king frankly that be was a new man and that his future standing with bis employer might beseriously affected if he failed to get the speech. King Oscar responded sympathetically, motioned' to the reporter to get into'his carriage, and while they were driving to the hotel- gave, a brief synopsis'of what he expected to say.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdChicago Record-Herald.

According to the statement made . to the correspondent,of the Victoria \"Colonist\" at Vancouver last week by a'Mr! Morrison, who for the past two.years \".has been mining at the .Klondike and at, Nome,\" ,the, reported \"strike's\" atthe head w,aters \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of the Horsefly River are simply fabrications.0 Mr Morrison uses strange'langiiage, for he characterises f'the'' \" statements made as to thei'r\"richness as absolutely false.\" In'the\" early gold days of the Province considerable mining was done on the Horsefly, and some very rich strikes,were made, but the ground ; was'found, to be very:.\" spotted'\"; no large deposits were found, and mining on Horsefly was abandoned afteria large amount of'.mbney.had 'been expended in prospecting. -Th-'= -miners in\" th<>se days knew .a 'little about \"mining and prospecting, they had had experience in all quarters of the globe, and it is not to be supposed that they did not thoroughly prospect the \"head-waters\" oiHorsefly. The parties engaged in 'booming up the strike are said to be residents of Cache Creek and the little City of Kamloops, thiough which places the expected ruth of miners would pass, and when it is supposedly the boomers, the most of them would purchase their supplies. It is reported that the Provincial Government was waited upon last week by a ^representative of the Kamloops B-'afd of Trade wno demanded that ten thousand dollars should' be placed on t the estimates for the purpose of building a new road from the City of Kamloops to the reported new diggings, which, if granted, would simply be throwing the money away. As, there -Are at present two good roads or trails to the Horse- iiy Country. The boomers have a newspaper at their command, and in KamloopB, and will no doubt make good use of it in trying to cau -e a rush, which would mean big money to the people interested in business in thai little city. We do not, however, think their plans to deceive tha people of the lower mainland, or of tne island will re- bult iu suc-jess.
