Scaled Up for Years iu New York*a Court House. A room the existence of which was known to few, if any, present oL.ce lioiders, was discovered last week In Ihe County Court House. It Is the loUT.hoast corner, under the office of the Surrogate's clerks. It was tightly f astened, and. It IK said, has not been wpened for twelve to fifteen years. No >ue In the building had any control over the room or Its contents, but on In quiry It was found that the room had been taken years ago for the deposit of 'words of the Comptroller's office. The nquiry WAK pursued until a key to the •00m was found filed away In the of floe of the Comptroller and the room was opened. The dead air inside nearly knocked ver the curious men who looked in. ind the door was quickly Rhut up tgaln. The hasty glance taken of the Interior showed that It contained a lot of 1 looks and bundles of vouchers and such papers. It was the unwholesome odor that hung about the Surrogate's office, where nine elerks are employed In a small room, that led to the search which resulted In the discovery of the sealed apartment. It Is thought that iome of the waste pipes have sprung b leak iif the room. It Is understood that this secret rooir s the only part of the building re alned for the Comptroller after ai 'ffort on his part several years ago tc secure quarters In the County Court louse. The difficulty, as explained t( he writer by Justice Van Brunt somt line ago, arose through Comptrollei Andrew li. Green insisting that he had .he right to take possession of quarter* 'll the County Court House under au ihority of the Commissioner of Public Works, in whose charge are the mu niclpal buildings. The Comptrollei was partly Installed before the Justice* it the Supreme Court got into action. He wanted the lower floor on the west lde of the building, chiefly the pari now used as docket clerks' rooms. "We told him," said the Justice, "thai the State had subscribed something •Ike $200,000 for the building, and thai the Stale would have something to saj as to how the building was used. Mr lireen was told that he would be brought before us for contempt if he did not vacate, aim he vacated." The room now appears to show thai the Judges were contemned Just a lit tie.—New York Sun. The Art of Complimenting. Compliments are the poetical touches which redeem the monotony of prosaic existence. In the intercourse of sym pathetic people they have a natural place, aud it Is as pleasant to recog nize by word or look the charms of our friends as It Is to profit by them. Profit we do, undoubtedly, as all that makes life fairer makes it better, and a whole some discernment of good traits must add to our faith in human nature ami its capabilities. Rigid moralists de clare that compliments are so akin tc flattery that It is wrong to use praise in any way. This Is "most Intolerable, and not to be endured," for all need both to give and receive encourage ment In this practical and hurrying world. And, reprehensible as hard na tures find It, there is a charm In open ing our eyes to the attractions of others nnd a warm, healthy glow accom panies the utterance of words which uttcst our admiration.

FIELDS OF ADVENTURE. THRILLINC INCIDENTS AND DARING DEEDS ON LAND AND SEA. A Snake Nearly Thirty Feet Long Kill* a Valuable Performing Pony and Iladly Injure* a Man in Philadelphia—A I>i ver'* Encounter With a Fierce Shark. A Brazilian anaconda twenty-eight feet long made its escape from a box I in a local dime musemn in Pliiladel | phia one day recently, and after near- I ly killing a watckmnn wrapped its | coils avouud a valuable pony and crushed it to death. The performing horse and the snake | were part of the attractions at the mu i seum. The pony belonged to W. C. j Beber, of New York, who placed a j valuation of SIO,OOO on him. The au | aconda was imported by the manage ment and arrived from New York in a box six feet long, which was thought to be secure. The box was placed in the corner of a curio hall. The pony was also shipped from New York. He was tied to a feed box in the curio hall. Samuel Mosher is the watch man in the hall. He was in the cellar with the other aUendants engaged in sorting out lumber for an exhibition ! platform to be constructed in the i course of the day. The manager sent him on an errand to the curio hall. He stayed a long while, but no notice was taken of this until wild shrieks from the trick pony and other sounds of commotion in the curio hall caused the attendants in the cellar to drop their lumber aud hasten to the scene. The spectacle that met. them when they reached the upper floor terrified them for a moment. Watchman Mos her was stretched on the floor uncon scious, aud not far away from him the handsome trick pony Bucephalus was I wound in the coils of the serpent. Blood was oozing from the pony's nos trils and every vestige of life was squeezed out of him. Watchman Mosher was dragged to a place of safety, and a hasty examina tion showed that he was not dead. He was hurried to the Hahnemann Hospital, where the physicians found two ribs fractured. It is not known j whether he has any other serious in ! juries beyond shock from fright. At the hospital Mosher revived aud I told the story of the encounter, of I which he was the ouly witness. He i said on reaching the curio hall he was ! startled by iiuding about six feet of ! the anaconda's length out 011 the floor, j A board became loose, and through | this the captive began slowly to work his way to liberty. The watchman's j first impulse was to try to force him back, and he started to do this alone. The snake attacked him fiercely, and in less time than the watchman could tell it the great folds of the reptile ! were entirely free from the box and out on the floor. In another instant the watchman was writhing in them. . He was too terrified at first to give an alarm, and when he did try, the coils 06 the monster were about his chest, ' crushing him. The noise which summoned the rea- I cuers was made by the pony. The actions of the pony were a remarkable ; display of animal intelligence. He saw the struggling watchman in the serpent's coils, aud, with shrill neighs, sprang to his aid, drawing the feed box with him. With his sharp hoofs and his teeth he fiercely attacked the ; snake, which slowly unwound its folds from the helpless watchman, aud turned 011 its new assailant. It was not long before the pony's neighing was stifled. The monster wound its j clasp around the brave little animal's ! body, and with methodical slowness broke bone after bone in its ribs, i The men who rushed to the scene j and saved the watchman's life were j afraid to attack the boa or to go near it except with weapons to destroy it. The serpent hissed at them and darted its tongue out. It was evidently pre pared for another attack and to seize u third victim. Pat McGlinchy, one of the attendants, who is an old plains man, suggested to lasso the suake's head. This plan was adopted aud his head was firmly secured. The problem of securing the rest of the body was easy to solve, but the tail was se cured in some way after it uncoiled from the pony's body, and the snake was dragged to an iron cage with a heavy screen and securely imprisoned. This pony slayer is nearly thirty feet long. A Shark Cripples it Diver. Andrew Cameron, a deep sea diver, formerly employed by the English Government, was a passenger 011 the steamer Yucatan which arrived in 1 New York from Havana and Vera Cruz. Cameron was sent to Vera Cruz several months ago by Pearson fc Co., an English firm of dock builders who had a contract to build a bulkhead in Vera Cruz harbor. While making a j submarine examination lie bad an ad- I venture eighty feet below the surface - of the water with a ten-foot mau-eating j shark, as a result of which he will be j a cripple for life, being partly paralyzed I in his right leg. ; "I arrived in Vera Cruz," 110 said, ! "and went to work immediately. Be fore making my first desceut T asked some Mexican fishermen if there were any sharks in the harbor and was told there were a few small ones, but that they were not man-eaters. No one had ever heard of any deep sea sharks coming into the harbor. "Satisfied with this information I began my work of diving regularly every day and had been working for about six weeks carefully, examining the work 011 the bulkheads. During that time I saw a few small sharks which I frightened away by striking my hammer against the columns. "I made a dive October 16, aud had been working about an hour at a depth of about eighty feet when I saw a dark shadow over my helmet. Surely, J. thought, that cannot be the shadow of my boat at this depth? Then I saw the object move, and saw I was withiD two feet of a large, man-eating shark. I reached for my knife, which has a blade eighteen inches long, and as the shark swam over me, almost touching my helmet, I stabbed him in the throat, cutting a deep gash. "For a moment tho big tisli remained perfectly still, as if stunned; then he began to lash furiously and the watei became crimson with liis blood. 3 hugged the piles of the bulkhead as closely as I could to get away from the fish. I could not move, owing to the heavy weight attached to my shoes. The shark swam straight for me and rammed me, head on, in the right leg. Luckily it was a glancing blow, and although the shock tore away the heavy 'incelsion' cloth of which my diving costume was made, and almosf wrenched my leg off, there were no bones broken. "The shark turned on his back and again came at me with wide-open mouth. I managed to move aside and stabbed him, and he moved rapidly to the surface. "I had signaled to my attendant on the boat to be pulled up, but the at tendants afterward told me they were busily engaged at the time in adjust ing the apparatus and did not notice my signal. I probably owe my life to that fact, for if while fighting the shark I had been pulled away from my position I would surely have lost my legs. "The occupants of the boat saw the shark come to the surface dead, and immediately pulled me up. That saved my life, for I was too weak to send a signal and my clothes were full of water, which came through the renf made by the shark. I am now going to England for an operation." Cameron claims to holds the world'i record for deep-sea diving, having gone 200 feet below the surface at Loch Craig, in Scotland, 011 April 16, to rescue an engineer and fireman who were drowned in an accident similar to tho recent one on the Now York Central at Garrisons. A Train'* llaco With a Waterspout. Tuesday afternoon there was a race run between a passenger train on tho lnter-oceanic and a waterspout. The race was declared a draw, as the train escaped from the immediate effects oi the waterspout, which burst against the erest of a mountain, but the im mense volume of water poured down the mountain side, along the roadbed, and finally caught up with the train aud inundated it so that the passen gers had to bo taken off in handcars. Tho particulars of this unique race are highly interesting. It was the daily passenger traiu from Puebla to this city and a large number of pas sengers were aboard. About 4.30 o'clcck tho sky became suddenly cov ered with masses of black clouds. An inky waterspout culebra, as it is called by reason of its resemblance to a writhing serpent, hung from the heavens and advanced rapidly in the track of the moving train. There was great excitement among the passen gers. The people in tho third-class coach, who had the best view of the phenomenon, went down on theii knees in prayers for deliverauce. One lady had a nervous attack and fainted. When the engineer learned of the panic aboard liis train he de cided to show the culebra his lieels. Then began the prettiest race 011 rec ord, with the lives of a load of passen gers as the stakes. Up grade, down grade, around sharp curves, across bridges and over the levels flew that passenger train, with the waterspout just behind and gaining just a little. The train entered a canyon, turned a curve, and at the same moment the chasing culebra came to grief high up the mouutain side. Tho water poured down the slope in raging torrents, and us the train emerged from the other side of the gorge a vast sheet of water, bearing trees, rocks and all kinds of debris on its bosom, threat ened to engulf it. Wider the engineer threw the throttle, endeavoring to es cape this new danger, and all would have been safe, but another sharp curve intervened and the engine jumped the track. The engineer saw the danger and reversed tho lever aud applied tho brakes. Tho engine rolled down the embankment, but the rest of the train, including the tender, remained 011 the track. Tho next momeuf tho mass of water struck the now stationary train and flooded it to the level of the platforms. Tho passengers and crow were help less to do more than look out to see what had become of the engineer and fireman, supposing thorn killed. But they both scrambled, or rather swam, out of the window of the overturned cab and clambered back 011 tho train. This happened in the viciuity of Sail Antonio Capulalpam, State of Tlaxcala. A relief train was dispatched to a point us near as it could get, aud the passengers and crew of the ship wrecked train were transported in hand cars and brought on to Mexico, arriving here only four and one-half hours late, and with au experience which none of them will ever live long enough to forget, and which, had it not been for the presence of mind of a nervy engineer, none of them would, in all probability, have lived to re member.—Mexican Herald. Peculiar Device Agiilti*! Fire. * The Theater Fraucais at Paris has a peculiar device to insure the great est possible ; safety for the audience. Not only can the scene be separated from the audience by a hermetically closing steel curtain, but tho roof of the scene can be uucovered at a mo ment's notice, so that a draught of air is produced, which carries away tho smoke and noxious gases produced iu the fire. These, it is said, constitute the grestest danger to the audience, often rendering escape quite impossi ble. It is 011 the scene that the live usually breaks out. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. Wild birds do not sing more than light or ten weeks in the year. In a year a horse will eat nine times lis own weight, so will a cow, an ox lix times and a sheep six times. The greatest force known to science Is that produced by the contraction lud expansion of metals, resulting trom the action of heat and cold. It is stated that the right hand, ivhich is more sensitive to the touch than the left, is less sensitive thnn the latter to the effect of heat and cold. Lightning rods may be valuable if large enough, aud insulated sufficiently to carry away a bolt of lightning. The common lightning rod is not of much use. In a recent lecture Professor Bergmann, of Berlin,stated that in fifty oases of perforating the skull for epilepsy he knew of only one perma nent cure. It has been calculated by Robert Ball that the whole coal supply of our planet would \barely suffice to produce heat equal to that which the sun dis sipates in one-tenth of a second. At the beginning of a recent thunder shower after a warm and windlesß day 11. Maurice Despres.of Cordova, Spnin, noticed electrified drops that cracked faintly on touching the ground and emitted sparks. The phenomenon lasted several seoonds, ceasing as the uir became moistened. The first use of the phonograph in telegraphy seems to have been in Spain, where receiving operators were unable to take down rapidly enough messages received by telephone, and repeated into a phonograph. This repetition, being heard at the sending end, serves nlso as a control for tho correctness of the message. A new laboratory turbine, claiming great steadiness, uoiselessness and economy of water, has been designed by a German chemist, aud is to be made in Berlin by Koehler and Mar tini. A circular piece of wire gauze, rotating in a thin cylindrical space, is attached to the axle. The water jet Btrikes the edge of the gauze at s tangent, escaping by a pipe in the center opposite the axle, and may readily bo made to give a speed of 4000 revolutions per minute. Professor Eschenhagen, of Potsdam, Uns continued his researches on the small variations 01, the earth's magnet ism first announced by him last year. The most important oscillations have a poriod of about thirty seconds and occur chiefly between G a. m. and 6 p. m., but on two dnys since last October —November 7, 1896, and Februnry 4, 1897—shorter waves, lasting twelve or fifteen seconds, were observed. Groups of waves have been noticed on several occasions. The cause of the phenom enon is uncertain, but it is believed to be atmospheric. A French Poultry School. Britain's bill for eggs and poultry last year came to £4,(508,006, which went into foreign pockets. On tho contrary, France pocketed £14,000,000 for her eggs and poultry. It is time we had poultry schools on the pattern of the one at [Gambais, in the depart ment of the Seine and Oise. The course is three months and the fee £l4, which includes board and lodging. Scholarships are founded to assist those who cannot afford the fee. These are, of course, given only to French learners, but other nationalities are not excluded, and there are three English pupils at the school now. It is to be hoped that they will bring back a few hints with them, for there is no reason why we should not rear poultry as well as the French, and keep the greater part of that four and a half million pounds in the country. They work hard at the Gambais School, and they have needed to do so, for they hatch 30,000 chickens in the season. The hours are from 0 a. m. to 8 p. m., and out of this three hours are de voted to theoretical study. Half an hour is given to breakfast aud half an hour to supper. There is a recess from 11 till 1, during which comes dinner. The rest of the time is spent in active labor. —Tid-Bits. Fruit Juice Shoe Polish. Orange juice is one of tho best dress ings for black shoes or boots, Take a slice or quarter of an orange and rub it on the shoe or boot; then, when dry, brush with a soft brush until the shoe shines like a looking-glass. This is an Euglish recipe. Another fruit dressing is for tan shoes, the inside of a banana skin. Rub the skin all over the shoe, thoroughly, wipe oft' care fully with a soft cloth briskly. Fatent leather shoes should not be polished with blacking. These are tbc hardest kind of shoes to keep looking well, and require constant care. They may be cleaned with a damp sponge aud im mediately dried with a soft cloth, with occasionally a little vaseline or sweet oil. They must never bo donned in cold weather without heating, or they will crack as soon as exposed to the cold air. An Infant With Gray Hair. When littloj Meyer Lipman, of 315 Blue Hill avenue, Chicago, was eight mouths old he could talk as well as most children of four or five years. By the time he was a year old he could spell any word in the first reader and Oouid talk aud understand both Eng lish and German. The extent of the boy's intellect told against his health, his hair turned gray and his face grew pallid. By tho advice of a physician, who recommended that the boy be kept from everything that required mental effort, his books were taken away from him aud he was talked to only on the most commonplace sub jects. The family moved to the coun try and the little man's hair gradually regained its normal color. His parents are both clever aud well educated people.—New York World.
