THRILLING FIFTY-MILK BOAt BIDE. rkroagH Forests, Along Precipices, Over Canyons, Sometimes Swifts ly. Mow Leisurely, Covering the Distance la Six Honrs. IK semi-t CaL, th risky, d the tV tropical Fresno County, there is a place, which for y, delightful sport, beats all WbagaaB slides on the con tinent. Think of the exhilarating joy f an uninterrupted slide of fifty miles. through great forests, along the brinks f preerpioes, and down ragged canons, smid the wildest and most picturesqu leenery to be found ia the country Sfty miles without a break ! Suea a thrOliag experience has been atade possible by the reeent comple tion of the great Pine Ridge lumber lame. So other. Ansae surpasses it, sad it is doubtful it any ether ia equal to it ia length and grandeur of the eoaery paeaed thrnagh in a journey from tl)e torn rait of one of the high sparaof the Sierra Nevada to the plains beneath, fifty miles distant. The flume has just been completed to the little town of Clevis, twelve miles north of Fresno, and is fifty-two miles in length. Flames for floating lumber are so numerous in California that descrip tion is superfluous except to say that this is in general like all ethers, con listing of boxes shaped like the letter V and on trestles varying in height from n few feet to a hundred, depend ing on the obaraoter of the country traversed. The flame starts at Stephen- 1 onvreei, one oi ne inoannw oi the San Joaquin River, at an elevation of nearly 6000 feet above the sea, and after a winding oonrse of fifty-two miles it terminates in a vineyard twelve miles out on the plains beyond the foot of the mountain. The trough carries the water which floats the lum ber. The flame boats, in which the rapid ourneys are made down the names, sre simple. They are made the same ihape as the Y-bosea of the Samoa. The upper end of the boats are closed by a Board nailed across, but the lower end, which points down stream, is left open to let out the water which splashes over the sides of the bonts from time to time. One, two or three hort boards are laid across for seatn. depending upon how many are to make the journey. A carpenter enn manufacture one of these boats in leaf than half an hour. The boat is meant Tor only one journey, for none is eve' hauled back for another journey. The first ride down the Pine Ridge flume from start to finish was made few days ago. The sides of the flume were covered with ice, caused by the rold night and the splashing water, Scarcely had the boat touched the cur rent before its edges also were slippery with ice. That was no matter, and in a second or so the boat, with its pas sengers, was sweeping down the trough of water, and trees were spinning pant so rapidly that they seemed like thi ipokes of a swift wheel. The passenger does not realize just how he gets into the boat nor how he wakes the start. It is all over before he has time to think. He has an un governable desire to clutch at things, hut before he can do so he is gone, and the speed makes him catch his breath, and that is all he can do. The start has been made, and it must be a race to the finish. If one should at tempt to stop when the speed is so groat it would result in something seriona. Even if he should see broken place ahead of him, where the flume had gone over a precipice, he could not stop, bnt must run into it and take the consequences. Such i mishap la not likely, bnt is possible. There are places here and there where the flume passes over ground more nearly level and the current is corre spondingly slow, and a person can spring out and let the boat go ; or he might, when safely out, run along the foot plank and, by holding the boat, bring that to a stop also. But in the steepest places a man could not run fast enough to keep np with th boat. Before the passenger has time to look back or forward, or to ask any question, he has run the first hall mile, and is sweeping around a curve, which opens to his vision a sight not pleasant to contemplate. The flme passes between two walls of rock, and then out along the face of a solid rock forming the side of Stephenson Mountain. If one can look down while speeding across this giddy fceight he will see beneath him just how far he has no power to estimate the canon of the creek, deep down in the shadows of the morning, almost dark with the depths. The boat aeeius to be flying through space. It is but a moment till the giddy place is passed, and the boat da(ts into a mass of gloomy pines growing against the ude of the mountain. After a four miles' ran the boat sud denly emerges from a forest of pine snd firs, and those in the boat experi ence the feeling of a person in a bal loon, when the world seems to droj kwsy from under him. The flume run eat over a high trestle, and at fir glance nothing is visible underneath There seems to be nothing but un fathomable space sheer down. Thi Is near the torn around the point o Stephenson Mountain, and the vax ibyss beneath, wb.ich had seemed bot tomless, is the canon of San Joaquii Sivex, down just bow far beneat ronhl be hacd'to gifss. It looks no has than 3000 feet; it may be less. The passenger cannot look twioe a the soene. The next minute he haf taosed again into the timber; then somes cmrve after cur ye around a rooky nountain, and after a little while the anon which had saejued so nearly bot tomless haa been left behind. The Irst twelve miles of the journey bring ue traveler to the western face of Fine .idge, the hut drift of snow disap eari, and the ataialy groves of sugar in and arbor villa begin to give place o tangled thicket of manzanita and haparral, and the starved and stunted 'fgW pines t&ti gnarled jack oaks ake the plaoe of the tamaracks which tow about the reservoir at the start ng plfoe.

Within five or six miles far bar aha flume' sweeps round the brink t a high, bold granita chX and tiro I nilesaway and 2000 feet below th little village of Toll House bursts into dew. . When the flume has passed Toll donse it has entered the foothills, and the excitement is over. The way leads for twenty miles down a narrow valley ind the passengers in the boat have nothing to alarm them, as they glide tlong so smoothly and peacefully that i they shut their eyes they would probably fall asleep. The speed grows less and less as the plains are ap proached, and now and then a little rineyard or an orange orchard is seen, ttanding in pleasing contrast with the Ice and winter coldness of the moan, tains, now 4000 feet above. From the foot of the hills the distance) to the terminus of the flame, at Clovis, is tbout twelve miles, and the speed tessens all the time. The end came at last, and so slowly was the little boat moving that the touch of a hand was sufficient to bring it to a stop, and the romantic ride of ifty-two miles was done. It had oo supied six hours, and the boat in that dme had carried its passengers from a region of winter, with its ice and snow, into a country where grapes still loaded the vines.

Beintj questioned npon the state of his hcHlth, Mr. Hoffman replied that he was very well con sidering his recent near approach to death. "Can yon tell me how you received so much benefit?" the reporter asked.

I suffered everything and tried about all kinds of medicine, but without any relief, and I about gave up trying to be cured.

Cannibal comes from Caribs, or Cari bales, corruptions of Ualibis, or Canibis, the name ot the inhabitants of the An tilles when Columbus arrived there. On the Upper Amazon, between the river and the borders of Bolivia, live the To. pis Guaranieus, who manifest a liking for human flesh. Cannibals are common in Australasia, the Papuans, Kanrkiens, and Battuklens being the most distinguished. There are more human flesh eaters in Africa than any where else. Cannibalism is not a sign of a low state of civilization, for many cannibal races stand higher in culture than those who abhor the custom. Many cannibals live in regions tilled with ordinary food, but they prefer hu man flesh as a delicacy, the tuen for bidding their wivea and slaves to eat it. In Northern Australia it seems that the dead are eaten. Herodutus tells us that it was the custom in India foi the young to kill the old and eat them, to insure their future salvation, and we are told that the old folks desire to be killed before they grew too old and less aDDeUziiut.

We can hardly realize the fact that It has only been but little over 100, years since counterfeiters were publicly burn ed at the stake In London, the present boasted "center of civilization." On March 18, 1780, Christlanle Murphy was executed at Newgate tower, Lon don, for the crime of "coining." She was bound to the stake seated on a stool, the main tie being a cord around the neck. The funeral pyre waa then llKhted by the executioner and his den- utles, one of the latter of whom finally Jerked the stool from under the wretch ed creature, allowing the weight to fall on her neck. Within 48 minutes the body was finally reduced to ashes and buried In a hole on the spot where the execution took place. Domeatte Intelligence.

"The secret service of the French Republic is generally considered the most perfect spy system in the world, said a traveling man to a writer fot the Washington Star, "but in my hum ble opinion the department of private intelligence supported by Mexico sur passes it both in extent and intricacy. A couple of years ago I was accidently permitted to get an insight into its workings, and I was astounded. One would imagine that a great private de tective agency would be a necessity only in a country like Russia, where the life of the ruler is constintly threatened, but down in Mexico there Is a system of espionage that extends to every part of it. The motives of every public man in Mexico are not only perfectly well known to the gov. eminent, but every visitor is subject t scrutiny. It was President Diaz who first established the chain of secrecy that now holds all the people to ita links. Every now and then one will be surprised to see a body of Mexican troops hurried off to some remote place in a far-off state. None will know the reason, but the fact will soon become known that the government haa pre vented an embryo revolution from crainine- strentrth and force. A con siderable number of Americans resid ing in Mexico do so because the law will make it unpleasant for them in their native places. The Mexican secret service has the record of each of these, and if any of them shows two much activity in Mexican affairs there is an arrest, the United States author ities are notified and extradition of the prisoner follows. Such a case occurred only a few days ago. A man named John Horley has been residing in Monterey for several years, and is prominent. Some time ago he took a great interest in having Sutler, who was wanted in Austin, extradited. Horley was arrested under orders sent from Mexico Citv. It turns out th;it Horley did something out in this coun try twelve years ago, and is still wanted to answer the charge. Yes, sir. the Mexican secret service is the greatest of them all, and its ramifica tions extend even-where over the re public, and a good ways on this side ol the border."
