The ship lay mo tionless, anchored apparently upon n hike of tfiii'sptirent ink, In whose stiil depths strain;-? Klcntnings occasionally heightened Its mystery of titter dark ness. Around rose the solemn tree-elm hills of Ilapal, now In deepest shadow. Away to the south, southeast nnd east the way out to the liro.nl bosom of the I'a'ltle la; clearly open between the fcveral Islands, and although from the two former ouartors there was ns yet no lightening of the deep velvety pur jde of the night, there was n something remotely like the opening of a door lending from a dark hall Into the clear nlr: a littledrauglit of freshness sremed Mealing In from tlier.ee.

Just rippling along the horizon nnd touching the still watei-s that lay lr tweeii it and us with the suggestion of glory to come, the llrst heart beat of that i.wc.t day before which the mod est stars palid and vanished. And overhead the returning legion of Hying foxes, fresh from their long night's raid among the fruit treon, passed like rrpiadronx of dark snlrits hastening tuck to their native g'.oiun at the ad vi nt of light, and occasionally from their midst came a wall wringing the hem like a tidi!cn terror. To lues' of us all this was but sug R' sicl. hardly realized; yet we moved with utmost quirt, unconsciously fall ing in with our environment. And when the rattle of a block, the sharp click of an oar on a gunwale, or n boar-e oath broke the sacred peace of the moment, nn Involuntary "Hush:" rose to the lips. Ten minutes n'ter our appearance on deck we were all In our places and, with the stonily, splnshless stroke of trained whallna oarsmen, were s:hnt!y gliding toward the por tals of the day. An the oars rose nnd fell they lifted overflowing chalices of emeralds, nnd n the nweet dark erept nway great lakes of ever changing color, of infinite and Indescribable va riety, Ktnlo over thp plucld surface of the quiet sea. A cool breath crept from the dawn polut to meet us; It kissed our heated necks, put fresh vigor Into our strokes, freshened, strengthened, until nt a ringing shout of command iv is flung our oars with one accord and prepared to make sail.

We are abreast of thorn, helms are put up. and all four boats bear down upon them with the swoop of gigantic hawks. When but n ship's length away, sails nre rolled up as if automatically. Noiseless as llsh we glide into the shadowand strike.

A Homlfr of the Deep. Captain Stavcly, of the Clumberhall, of (he Funics Steamship Line, has recently been a visitor lu the vicinity of (irent Harrington, and bus told nil exciting story of a sea monster which bo encountered on bis recent voyage. On a voyage form Sail Francisco to London the. captain' attention was called to a large sea monster, beading four point ou the port bow of (he hip. The monster' color was of largo blotche of black and a sort of sand and gray In between. The monster was of wba'lbnck shape, and fully 200 feet long, the highest part of Its back extending nearly twenty feet above the sea surface. After approaching the steamer the animal remained on Jb aurfacc for few minute and then hurried away. Captain Stavely did not fee the two extreme of the monster's hotly. After arriving In Iondon Captain Stavely learned that tho sea monster bad been previously reported by a ateamur that bnd passed It on a mooulight nlgbt.

Victor, writing from Joppn, Pnl estine, says that n great number oJ observations seem to demnnstrnte thnf certain birds, particularly swnllowr nnd sparrows, disappear from locnlltlef that nre atillcted with (he plague or with cholera. This raises the question, says the American Inventor, whethei It is nlso true of places contnnilnatei' with yellow fever or other contagious diseases. The ncdnle or "chemical" rays of the uu nre (he blue, violet, nnd ultra violet rays, nnd are (he only ones used In (he cure of diseases, (he other rays having no physiological action on nut ma life. The value of these rays In destroying the bacteria of disease waif llrst shown by I-Tnson, of Denmark, who applied them very successfully to Ike treatment of lupus, n tuberculosis of the skin. Its use bus not yet been made effective In enncer. because the rays do not penetrate deeply enough. The hearing of llshes has been much debated. The presence of nn internal ear has given reason for believing In the existence of this sense, but othei evidence lias led to the conclusion thai the function of the ear Is to preserve the equilibrium of the fish In th" water, sound being felt through the skin and not heard. From late experiments, in which the nerves of the skin and of the car were cut In turn, (!. II. Parker finds that at least one species (l-'uudu Ins heierocllttts) must benr with the ar. The coca plant, Erylhroxylon coca, among others of medicinal value, is being e::p"fimenlally cultivated In the Victoria botanical gard-ns of the Canieroons. A firm of alkaloid makers In tiermany, to whom some of the leaves were sent, found them to con tain only ii.'.'S per cent, of total nlka lold. This low yield may be attributa ble either to improper drying' of the leaves or deie-.-iorat ion during the long voyage.

At iiie tidal power station of 1'lou niiinacli, on tlie northern coast of France, the difference of tide level is about twenty feet. The storage res ervoir is a natural pond of four acres, having the form of a triangle, w'tb the base toward thp shore, and in the em bankment separating this from the sea are automatic gates, which open when (he l'-vel of the sea rises higher thai) the water In thp pand, and nre closed by the weight of the water In the pond when the tide recedes. The two water wheels of the station drive dynamos, which, aided by storage batteries, are used for electric lighting. A promi nent Hrltlsh engineer. James Swin burne, foresees the failure of this and all other plans for using the tides ns n source of electric power, on nccount of the great expens- of working tur bines on variable pressures or imy kind of storage. The ImII;eslloii at Loneliness, The dinner hour Is a period when ?ven the morose nnd self-contained man enjoys the companionship of his fellows; there Is lu fact no more es sential part of a dinner than a good talker, The digestive value of a lively discussion and plenty of laughter dur ing eating Is insisted upon by every writer on dietetics. Indeed, many a hostess has seen nn execrable meal, from the food stand point, transformed Into n lirst-rati; din ner by one or two loquacious Mark Tapleys, and she certainly deserves the envy of woman-kind If ber husband is one of these. Apropos of this well-known fact a prominent medical Journal diFt-usses the pathology of lonely dining. It seems that there Is a peculiar typo-of dyspepsia, especially prevalent among women, which Is due solely to solitary eating. Very ninny "1101110 women" regularly lunch alone, frequently sim ply "pick up something," and drink a cup of tea. For some strange, appar ently purely mental reason, the food thus eaten Is not properly digested, and ultimately leads. to a state of chronic digestion. This curious complaint is called the indigestion of loneliness. The tlrst remedy recommended is to stop eating alone; If this is not feasi ble, however, a good book should be read during the meal, ami the latter be preceded by plenty of outdoor exer cise.

As a matter of fact, it is not easy to "in-J a taciturn woman, according to the flaltiniore News. It is almost impos sible to discover one who, given suf ficient provocation, will not tell the tory of her life to a sympathetic per on, when she should be writing letters r adding figures.

And, in deed, it is not .rue, for no one can do two things at the same time and do them well. The woman who wants to succeed n business, then, must take a lesson in keeping quiet before she will be re garded as an acquisition to an office i". which men are employed.
