rods. From the lower rings the heavy
leaden sole 3 are suspended so that the
suit is practically in one solid unit.
The sleeves are similar to the trousers,
protected against pressure, but pliant
and easily moved.
The great advantage of this suit is
that the diver need not work under an
atmospheric pressure exceeding that on
the surface, for the escape of air is
provided through a floating tube, the
valve of which is kept at any height
to suit the diver. The diver whose pho
tograph is reproduced in our picture
went to a depth of 185 feet the first
time he tried the new suit and remain
ed below for 50 minutes, but felt as
well as in thirty feet of water with the
old apparatus. This does not necessa
rily mean the limit of the depth for the
new apparatus.

There seems hardly any limit to the
age of fish of many kinds. Carp are
known to have lived 200 years and
over, while the case of the Russian
pike that was caught a few years ago
with a gold band around its tail on
which the date 1540 was imprinted is
well known. There are gold fish that
have belonged to one family over 60
years, and do not now appear much
larger than when originally placed in
the acquarium, though they are every
hit as lively as ever. In the royal
aquarium of St. Petersburg there are
fish to-day that are known to have
been there at least 150 years. Some of
them are five times as big as when
first captured; others have not grown
an inch.

A SONG OF VICTORY.
Among the Bedawee there are none
| like the Anazeh,
Greatest are they of all the sons of the
1 desert.
] On our ghazu went we forth;
j Ere the dawn appeared or the sheep
could bleat,
! Our young men mounted their steeds.
j They rode through the desert, rejoic
j ing in their strength;
I The sun arose and their hearts grew
j great,
The hoofs of their horses spurned the
ground;
Men shouted; "Is not this life, oh
I Brother?"
j And they answered: "Truly, this is be
| ing alive!"
j The day grew old, star-bright night
overtook her,
1 The kindness of the Moon caused her
i to hide her face.
Our young men saw the fires of Sham
mar,
They surrounded the encampment,
Courage and skill they showed, brave I
were their hearts.
Of their goats and their sheep there !
are fifty,
Seven new mares eat in our pasture.
No man slew we, there is no blood
feud.
Oh, young man, kill sheep, eat, sing
with your voices:
All glorious is the name of the Anazeh!
STORY OF A CORK LEG
The love of sport is ingrained in my
nature; it has been the same with all
my kith and kin for generations past.
So when I received from my old school
chum, Tom Missal, an invitation to
shoot with him on the Ist of September
I lost no time in dropping him a line
of acceptance. Tom lives at Harro
dene, some little way down the South
Eastern line.
On the eve of the eventful "First,"
with all my traps, I committed myself
to that space-destroying bit of rail
way engineering—the South Eastern
railway.
We had not proceeded far toward our
i destination when a collision occurred.
A fair amount of paint was rubbed off
| some of the carriages and among sun
dry other minor mishaps, my left leg
sustained a compound fracture, which,
after being examined by a doctor, waß
pronounced as unlikely to be of any
further use to me. The long and short
' of it was—amputation.
Later, I became somewhat "low
down" in health and was advised a
sea-trip would he beneficial. I ar
ranged for one, to be taken during the
| more severe months. By the time
the good ship Mytabin arrived at Dur
ban, in Natal, I had become so used
to my new patent-actioned limb, that
I had almost forgotten I was Its pos
sessor and walked with hut the slight
est of limps.
At one of the houses at which I had
been entertained I made the acquaint
ance of a Mr. Boleyn, a young Engllsh
, man who had a farm, or farms rather,
| on the other side of Pietermaritzburg,
; away among the hills. He had come
; to Durban on some matter of business
and before he returned we saw enough
] of each other to enable us to say, each
to the other: "I've cottoned to you
: old hoy," and in his case he made the
j addition: "You must come over and
! stay with me at 'Foaming Falls.'"
t "Foaming Falls" was the name he
had given to his residential farm. He
had extracted a promise from me to
visit him. Within a week I had met
him in Pietermaritzburg, to which
place he had driven in his cape cart to
meet me. We were soon on the road,
and he in high glee, kept telling me
how delighted Anna was at the idea of
, having a visitor so lately from home.
I had not bargained for a meeting
with the womankind, but after he had
j explained that Anna was his sister,
' and "not a bad little woman in her
way," I was in a measure reconciled.
Arrived at Foaming Falls, Anna met
on the stoop of the veranda. What
! a picture she looked—a figure of me
| dium height, with a glory of lion
j tawny hair, pale complexion, with suf
ficient embonpoint to suit my taste,
j Dressed in a dark violet-lined cash
; mere gown, with a deep orange-color
j ed silk 'kerchief loosely tied around
| her throat, she looked—well, as I have
j said, a perfect picture.
] No, I say nothing about her eyes,
hut the gazelle's are not more limpid.
We were soon at table, and we, Boleyn
| and myself, at any rate, were hungry
! after our drive. Conversation did not
: lag—never the ghost of a falter. Her
| hobbies, my weaknesses and Boleyn's
! anxiety about his stock were all in
1 turn trotted out.
My stay had run into a month, dur
ing which time Anna and I had become
the best of chums. We walked to
gether, drove together, and mostly
! naturalized in company, for she had a
j turn for natural history, and so in
i spare time we sought for specimens.
| This dolce far niente life could not
last forever, and the time came when I
must perforce make my adicux.
! It was the morning before the day
on which I had arranged to take my
departure that Anna was in the garden,
walking in a somewhat aimless fash
ion. I Joined her and we soon found
ourselves on a favorite topic. I was
about to pick up my pipe, which had
dropped from my fingers to the ground,
when I saw, right at my feet, a huge
brown snake—a mamba, as the species
is named out there.
I sprang forward with an effort at a
jump, but one can't Jump very clever
ly with an artificial limb attached, at
least 1 had not practiced. My effort
to clear the reptile brought me to
grief, and I fell prone on the gravel
Then flowed a fearful shriek
1 from Anna and a blow on my left leg.
Of course It did not hurt me —It was
| the right leg to be hit. Then I saw
j Anna flying for dear life toward the
I house, calling the while in lusty tones:
j "Jack! Jack! where is the whisky?"
| Soon she reappeared, and with undi
i minished celerity, whisky bottle in
hand, came rushing to where I lay.
i Jack, her brother, was close behind,
both of them looking white and scared.
"Make him drink it, Jack. The
whole of it. Jan is coming with an
other."
After saying this she came to me,
i raised my head to her knee and in anx-
I ious tones insisted:
! "You must drink it, every drop, or
I you'll die. Do, there's a dear—l mean,
! I—l—do drink it, please."
i I was laughing. I could not exactly
; say why, for the writhing body of the
mamba was yet close by me. Jack
! kicked it away and turned to me with
' the whisky bottle, saying: "Drink it,
j old chap, and I'll cauterize the place,
j It's the only thing we can do."
! Pushing the whisky on one side, 1
! replied: "I'm all right. What is the
matter?"
Then burst in Anna's agonized tones:
"Why, I saw the horrid thing fasten
on your leg and strike you several
times. Oh, dear! Oh, dear! You'll
die. I'm sure you will."
Then said Jack: "Come, old fel
low, it isn't a laughing matter. Let
j me have a look."
! With that he knelt down and turning
! up my trousers leg, Anna the while
! gazing with streaming eyes, they saw—
j where the laugh came in.
I But, honor bright, not once did I re
member the artificial limb. Of course
1 felt no bite or wound. I felt the
| blow she gave when she killed the
snake; one naturally feels a jar if a
stick one lias in hand is struck, for ex
ample, but I felt nothing else.
"Oh, you horrid fellow. You never
told me you had a wooden leg," said
Anna.
"I have not. It is of superior Span
| ish cork," I replied.
"Lucky for you, old man," said Jack,
as he turned to go and the Kaiflr Jan
smiled as he picked up the dead mamba
! and said:
I "Ya, boss, good job he no bitey you.
j Him fangs likey shark hook."
| Then the honest fellow examined the
cork limb and therefrom extracted a
j fang nearly half an inch long.
! Still, in a dazed fashion, Anna ca
! reßsed the limb, scarce knowing what
| she did, then remembering all at once,
her pale face flushed as she murmur
.ed: "Oh, what will you think of
1 me?"
I "That you are just the woman to
| make me a good wife if you only will."
I And she willed. Thanks for all
| mercies.
I When we told Jack of our arrange
! raent what do you think he said? Just
I this:
"H'm! Not the first time a serpent
has 'played the devil' in a garden."
Natures Scavengers,
j Nature, not being a European power,
| keeps her forces in readiness where
J they are needed, in consequence of
which the scavengers muster in
J strength in hot countries. Vultures
| wander but rarely to these parts, and
j euch sharks as occur are, with few ex
j ceptlons, but minnows of their race,
j Yet we have even in these islands
j humbler purifiers at work, tadpoles and
! burying beetles, and other suitable to
! the comparatively easy work that falls
; to them. One of these days, when nat
j ural history is taught in a rational
j manner in our schools, when the rising
| generation learns to appreciate the liv
j ing world around instead of banging
I pianos and splashing pigments, we
shall have a recantation of the modern
zoological faith and a better apprecia
tion of the beasts and birds.
We shall find nothing to shudder at
in the mea! of the vulture, but we may,
on the contrary, even learn to protect
that remarkable bird and its fellow
scavengers as among the worthiest of
earth's children. To the last the vul
ture is active in its allotted mission,
and when at length it falls no living
I beast, or bird, or insect will touch its
I body, and it must crumble quietly to
j dust, a lasting—somewhat too lasting,
j as those know who have camped near
an undiscovered dead vulture for some
I days—monument to the usefulness of
| the great scavenging army of which it
once was so active a member.

In France the consumption of to-

making the annual amount consumed
at the present time 38,000,000 kilo
grams, or more than 80,000,000 pounds,

INEBRIETY AMONG ANIMAL*.
Monkeys, Ruts, Rh-.ls I lid Kven Insects I.nvo
Inloxl rants.
J It Is a curious fact that there are
topers innumerable in the animal king
dom. Bipeds and quadrupeds alike
are fond of alcohc lie drinks and al
though some disp! ty aversion when
first tasting liquor, they soon acquire
a craving for it.
I Chickens and d: icks, after having
once tasted brandy, become absolute
slaves to the drink. They refuse to
eat, grow thin and exhibit symptoms
of dejection when unable to obtain
their favorite tippl".
! Monkeys and ap-s are passionately
fond of spirituous liquors. Of these,
Button's wine-bibbi rg chimpanzee was
a shining example, and Brehm, the
German zoologist, c wned several man
drills that drank wine regularly and
did not disdain brandy.
| Herbivorous aninals frequently be
■ come intoxicated, 'nnocently enough,
■ through eating decaying fruit. In
orchards oxen and cows, after eating
overripe apples, ha'e been seen to dis
play all the symptoms of drunkenness.
| They stagger, their eyes lose expres
| sion, and they grow sleepy.
It seems that aninals are susceptible
to alcoholism in proportion to the de
| velopmcnt of their intelligence. Ele
phants are fond of wine and rum, and
rats gnaw the staves of wine casks to
get at the content:!. Cats, however,
rarely exhibit a ft ndness for intoxi-
I cants.
Among birds ths parrot takes first
I place as an habitual toper. Insects
have many opportunities to become in
toxicated, and it 'a the most active
that most frequently avail themselves
of the chance. There is an aromatic,

A Life Of Uncertainty*
When a person builds a house in
Manila he must decide first whether he
prefers death and destruction by earth
quake or typhoon. If he wants to die
by the earthquake method he builds a
masonry house, which tumbles down
on him when the earth quakes. If he
prefers death by typhoon, he builds a
bamboo house. The earthquake
doesn't affect it, but the typhoon moves
it over into Mindanao. As Manila
gets both typhoons and earthquakes
the choice is imperative.
A Miner's luck.
An extraordinary piece of luck has
come to a miner at Usworth Colliery,
near Soutu End. It appears that a
mattress was bought some years ago
from a person who had bought It sec
ond-hand, the price paid being 6s. The
mattress was recently discarded and
put outside the house. Recently, how
ever, a string was observed to be hang
ing by the mattress side, and on ex
amination a bag was drawn out con

YEARS AFTER.
"Mattie, you little brown thing, what
are you doing? Dreaming, I declare!
Did you know, child, you have just 15
minutes to dress in before the dinner
bell rings?"
She had donned her prettiest cos
tume and brightest smiles in honor of
the new arrival, Guy Edgerton.
How my beautiful sister would have
laughed could she have known that this
same new arrival wan the hero of my
dreams. I will tell you how he came
to perform so important a part in
them.
Five years ago, when it lacked but
two weeks of my sister's 18th birthday,
my mother died. "
We mourned her loss deeply; but
Kate, for her oath's sake, given in the
shape of enameled invitation cards,
would not give up her usual party.
"Oh, Kate," I pleaded, "please don't
have it!"
"You don't know what you arc say
ing, child. I cannot detract after the
invitations are issued, and father
thinks it is best we should have it."
And so it ended. The party came oft,
I protesting I would not appear in the
drawing-room; and I did not. But,
sitting alone on the balcony, watched
the forms flit to and fro in the brilliant
drawing-room.
I was crying bitterly, when a firm
step sounded beside me, and, looking
up, I met the gaze of Guy Edgerton,
my sister Katie's most ardent admir
er.
"Why do you not join the company,
Miss Howard?"
He bent forward and looked in my
face. "What, in tears, little one!" At
this I cried harder than ever.
"Won't you tell me what grieves
you?"
At this I told him all. How it seem
ed to me sacreligious so to treat my
mother's memory.
lie said nothing, only smoothed my
hair tenderly until I ceased weeping.
As 1 loojked up he said:
"Little Mattie, I am going away to
morrow; going to Europe. Will you
kiss me good-by?"
I was only 15, so I raised my head
and kissed him.
"Thank you, little one; and when I
come back will you give me a kiss of
welcome? I have no mother, no sis
ter, Mattie. No one to welcome me
back. Will you?"
"Yes, sir," I sobbed.
He said "Thank you" again, and then
left me. )
For five long years I had heard noth
ing from him; and now he hud return
ed.
! This is what I had been dreaming
about this pleasant morning.
Hie dinner-beil roused me from my
reverie, anil Dustily donning ray pretti
est blue muslin I sought the dining
| room.
! As I entered, my father presented me
to Mr. Edgerton.
"My little daughter, Mattie."
| "I think we are already acquainted,"
he said, and then passed on.
For two weeks every young lady at
the house, save myself, tried their fas
cinations upon him, but to no avail.
; "What a pity," sighed Flo Archer,
"that his up-town mansion and huge
bank stock have no mistress!"
But her sighs were in vain. The last
morning of Mr. Edgerton's stay the
subject of conversation turned upon
kissing. Mr. Edgerton, sitting by, did
] not join In the conversation. Pretty
Flo Archer saucily demanded Mr. Edg
-1 erton's opinion.
"Now, really, Mr. Edgerton, don't
you like to attend forfeit parties?"
j "No, Miss Archer, Ido not. I think
a kiss obtained by compulsion no kiss
at all."
"Why, Mr. Edgerton! You shall do
I penance for that speech."
j "You are to tell what lady you kissed
last."
j "That would not do, as the lady is
I present, and would be the sufferer
j rather than myself."
: "Well, then, you are to tell how long
It is since you kissed her."
"Will you promise not to doubt my
word?"
"Oh, certainly."
"Then, Miss Lay ton, I have kissed no
lady for the space of five long years."
My cheeks were burning, and I arose
and fled to my room.
"Mattie, you little goose, what are
you blushing for? He doesn't mean
you."
I said this over to myself, but some
how I doubted my own words.
Here Kate burst in upon me.
"Here you are, Puss. I have been
out hunting for you. We have made
up a party to ride out to the Shaker
settlement, and take dinner and return
by moonlight. Won't it be fun, and
don't you want to go?"
"No, 1 guess I had rather stay at
home and have a quiet day of it."
"What a little old maid it is! Well,
it needn't go unless it wants to!" and
she was off. I watched them drive off.
Scarcely had I seated myself when
some one entered the room, repeating
those lines of Leigh Hunt's little bal
lad:
"Say I'm weary—say I'm sad,
Say that health and wealth have
missed me;
Say I'm growing old, but add —
Jennie kissed me!"
My heart gave a great bound, for I
recognized Guy Edgerton's voice.
Not knowing I was there, he came
to the very window where I was sit
ting.
"Why. Mattie, you here! I thought
you were out with the riding party.
How cozy you look here. May I sit
down beside you?"
"Yes, sir," I answered, frankly.
His dark eyes searched my face for
a moment, then he said:
"I am going away to-morrow, little
one; will you redeem your promise be
fore I go? I have carried the kiss you
gave me last through ail my travels,
darling, and have brought it back to
you pure as you gave it. I have kissed
no woman all the five years. For, do
you know, Mattie, you made a conquest
of me that night when you kissed me.
I have loved you ever since and now,
darling, if you give me my kiss of wel
come, you must give yourself with it.
Shall it be so, darling? Will you be
my little wife?"
1 knew then what he had been to me
all these years, so I acted my simple
self and kissed him.
