,Tb two convict who recently e
caped (rim Princeton, Dartmoor, were

whllo having a meal. The popular

it was so with the pair
referred to they were seated
at a meat tea, s-t before them by In
voluntary hosts, a Dartmoor farmer
and his wife, who, while granting
their petition (or (ood, sent word to
the warders who Were searching (or
them.
Another prisoner who escaped from
the same convict station was located
through much the same cause, lie
bad successfully crossed Dartmoor to
the railway, where he succeeded In
aecretlug himself In a passing rail
way truck. Exhausted by privation,
Le (ill asleep and did not awaken tin
.' til the wagon wua uncovered at lun
unce. There he might have got off
V.IU1 a reprimand as a mere tramp
who had risked hlu llt'o for a 'rue
ridu, but tho vehemence with which
he declared his famished condlt'on
aroused suspicion and he was dot lin
ed pending Inquiry.
T:io fate of a convict who Is a.ild t.)
bavo ui'oii the only man who over
ad from Portland wa.-i Bumewhat
similar. After Rfltlng Hear cf tha
prUon by means of a paimandle ln
KtnlouHly used he hid in the n ';-. 1
torlns quarries, wIhtp he lived f r
marly a week 11 pen bnad lie l.iul
trtken with him. At the end of th.it
time, partly by swiiui.ilnn and pi'.'.tly
l.y rrcl)jig iiloilK C'll'st' !! u h. !:
r.T-hed the outokli'ts of Dorchester,
where lie entered a clergyman's lious -,
helped himself liberally to loot! and
-"')s:iti:ted a cl rr.l s ;rt f'ir li!s u .1
srrciW-inarUed v, n ii'.' r-.ts all but o:m
little Item. Then he walked oi.t
uii 'jnK his fellow-men, but he ha 1 mt
motley to buy food and was compelled
to live on bhicl.beri It s. Some day"
1-...T an Intelligent er'lu-.able, mi.
wriwd to observe a booming clerjjy
nin grazing upon bramble bushes,
aiKached to Invest igate, Th"' fug
itive was on the point of satisfying
tho policeman's curiosity when the
laMor e lanced t notice that t'i"
clergy man" was wearing prison
socks. After that the game was up.
I'.'it perhaps the most curious in
stance of escaped convicts belr.g
brought back to durance vllo owing
to their appetites occurred at Park
hurst, where two men evaded the
vanlers one night and. helm; at liber
ty, chanced upon a house where a
ei-tper party had Just risen from ta
ble. They found the room deserted
aud sat down to what was left of the
U-jt, with the recult that when they
cut up to to away tney were caught
Ti'.ho-.it difficulty, simply because
tVy had eaten so much that they
wcie incapable o( doing anything to
k;vg themselves.
jcjaslr.naily. of course, men get
it,!v, and are taken back through
other causes than those connected
v.H!i need of food. Such cases are
frw and far Let ween; but one occurr
ed somo years n.no, when a canvlct
esunped from Uorstil, near Rochester,
toy getting through a skylight. From
there he dropped to the ground and
pro'"' hi J an'.Ue, so that he could
hardly move. At daylight he was ob
irrved crawling toward a wood and
l-J-l;lT.-3t?d.
A different fate overtook one of
three who escaped from Prlncctown.
f.no was shot dead, one only tot a
ve-.- short distance from tue prison,
while tho third successfully evaded
his pursuers and reached Devonpoit,
having meantlmo procured a change
cf elcthos. There, while walking
along the street, a dog accompanying
a policeman smelt r.t his legs, and
the man wp.s so "Jumpy" that he bolt
ed en tho spot. The constable, his
tii'pleions F.rouxed. chased and caught
him, with the rcutlt that he was tak
en hack whence he had come.
Hut, on the whole, bolts and bars
etc found less effect rrti t'.ian tho f mv
cf famine, which Is probably tho reus
en why the State prison of Represa,
Ciil., h.'.s neither the one nor tho oth
er. If a convict tries to leave there
he may be ihe.t; i! ha gets off 't Is
a prae'leil certainty that ha must
tturvo to death. Tit-lilts.
Long Tunnels.
Long mountain tunnels are consple.
nous hy their absence on American
railways, and nonu of the numerous
railway crossings of the Rocky moun
tains present such remarkable ex
ar nles of tunnel'ii'.g ns the railways
crossing the Alpine range In Europe,
Indeed, the longest railway tunnel
In this country Is In the Kast., being
tho Hoosac tunnel, on the FltchUurg
division of the Itoston & Maine Rail
way. This Is 4.25 miles In length
and was built in the early days of
American engineering. The noted Al
pine tunnels are from S to V, miles
In length, with others 10 and 1G miles
now proposed.
The electrlo post Is to be tried in

EXPERTS ADVICE OF EATING.
Authont 'a Toll Us Whiit Foot;
Should Consume and Avoid.
Sicero told us Ions ago that wo
should eat t live, not live to rat, and
Prof. Oautior, of Paris, amp!!!!" fiat
wlsi! pronoiinceti'ont In the course rf
n very Interesting arti -le on "How v,'e
Or.'ht to K-.t." The profersor 1". the
flworn enemy of all etilltinry n-t'flei-s
the object of which Is to s.i'U'!"'ate
t:Tste.e::c!te the appetite and iv.'lfee it
i".a-i to cat without huitiur r.r.d drl::k
without t'):r:;t.
These, he si-.yi. aro prfjsv'.'ek'l to
the nialntenar.c: of health. When one
has an appetite for pk'in bread,
vegetables or me:t unmollliej by any
seasonliit; then ni:J thea only can one
bo said to he really hungry. Another
paternal recommendation which the
profesr makes Is the old advice of
our gradmothers, that we should al
ways leave the table with a slight
sensation of hunger not entirely ap
peased. It appears that we loso every day
from S5 to 100 grams of albuminoids,
corresponding to i'y or 5oo grams of
muscular flesh or analogous tissue.
An inhabitant cf Paris, for Instance,
recuperates on the average to the ex
tent of 102 or P3 grams a day.
As a gt:ld to what we should eat
tho professor tell:-) its that the best
meat is that of animals fattened on
pasture land beef and mutton. Then
comes poultry nnd pork fed on prod
ucts of a vegetable origin, whether
grain or herbaceous.
One should always avoid the flesh
of animals fattened to excess on mus
cular flesh nnd also, to a certain ex.
tent, that of animals which are too
young. Veal Is not ,?rood for either
gouty or arthritic people. It Is not
recommended for people with fragile,
lmLable, eruptive skin.
Fish, excellent in Itself when it Is
quite fresh, is easy to digest, but It Is
not suitable to eezematous persons or
those who have any other skin dls

rcsls. One may live absolutely with,
out meat; ono can not do without
vegetable aliments.
Eat with regularity and In accord
ance with tho demands of huncer ;eh
dishes n3 have always been regarded
as Innocuous and remember that, rs a
rule, It Is neither meats nor bouillon
nor wino nor spices t:or coffee which

THE SCALE TAILED CHA3.
Naturalist Schneffer Once Counted
Them, and Found 1,802X04.
The crab known as the scale. tailed
upus was believed to have become ex
tinct In Great Britain fifty years ago,
the last recorded specimens being
taken in the ponds ou Hampstead
lleutn. But now It has turned up
again in some numbers in two ponds
on Preston Merse, near Southwlck, in
Kirkcudbrightshire. About two and
a half Inches long, the apus bears a
very striking likeness to that remark
able creature the king crab, and this
because the (ore part of the body is
covered by a great semicircular Bhield
or carapace, while as In the king
crub, it swims on its back. In the
great number of its legs the scale,
tailed apus has few rivals, while In
tho uumbu' of the joints which these
share between, them no other creature
can compare. Tho naturalist flehaef
fer once essayed tho task of countlrg
them and made the magnificent to.
tul o( l,S0:,0u4.- Latrellle put down
the number at a round 2,000,000.
