rontempt of Court in France.
French judges have summary ways
in cases of contempt of court, as an
anarchist mimed Rontiere, who ap¬
pealed against a sentence of six
months' imprisonment passed on him
for swindling. Inis found out to his
cost. In the court of appeals the presi¬
dent asked him why he sought to have
the sentence filtered. The anarchist,
iu a clear voice, replied very deliber¬
ately : “I have appealed solely in or
tier to be aide to tell you this —I have
spent all my life in prison, and 1 con¬
sider it unjust that the innocent should
suffer while on the bench of this court
arc seated cruel wretches (des bour
reatix) and murderers.” The presi¬
dent hail the last word. His retort
was; “We confirm your sentence of
six months’ imprisonment and we or¬
der you to be detained further two
years for contempt of court (outrage

is left open to let out the water which
splashes over the sides of the boats
lrom r time . ■ to , time. , • One, ... two . or three ,,
short boards are laid across for seats,
depending upon how many are to
Iuake , the journey. . A , carpenter , can
manufacture one of these boats m less
than half an hour. The boat is meant
for only one journey, for none is ever
hauled back for another journey.
The first ride down the Pine Ridge
flume from start to finish was made a
fetv days ago. The sides of the flume
were covered with ice, caused by the
cold 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
i a second or so the boat, with its pas
j sengera, was sweeping down the trough
of water, and trees were spinning part
so rapidly that they seemed like the
spokes of ft swift wheel,
The passenger does not realize just
how he gets into the boat nor how he
makes the start. It is - all over before
he has time to think, He has an un
governable desire to clutch at things,
but before he can do so he is gone,
aud the speed makes him catch his
breath, and that is all he can do. The
start lias been made, and it must be a
race to the finish, [f one should at
tempt to stop when tho speed is so
great if would result in something
serious. Even if he should see u
broken place ahead of him, where the
flume had gone over a precipice, he
could not slop, but must run into it
and take the consequences. Such a
mishap is not likely, but is possible.
There are places here and there where
tho 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
Iasi enough to keep Up with the
boat.
Before i he passenger lias time to
look buck or forward, or to ask any
question, he has run the first half
mile, and is sweeping around a curve,
which opens to his vision a sight not
pleasant to contemplate. The flume
passes between two walls of rock, and
then out along the face of a solid rock
forming the side ot' Stephenson
Mountain. If one can look down
while speeding across this giddy j
height he will see beneath him just
how tar he has no power to estimate

tlie^ shadows of the morning, almost i
dara with the depths, lhe boat seems
to be flying through space. It is but ;
* Iuo f lon ^ tilt me giddj place
passed, and the boat daits into a mass
of gloomy pines growing against the |
side ot the mountain.
After a four miles run the boat sud- i
.lenh f ,
emerges lrom a orest of pines j
iud tirs, and those in 1I10 boat experi- j
■nee the fee.ing of a person in a bal- 1

mt over a high trestie, and at first ;

fathomable space sheer down. This ,
« near the turn around the point of
Stephenson Mountain, and. the vast
ibyss beneath, which had seemed bot¬ •
tomless, is the canon of San Joaquin
River, down just how far beneath
would be hard to guess. It looks not
less than 30D0 feet; it n!»y be less.
The passenger cannot look twice at
the scene. The next minute he has
passed again into the timber: then
comes curve after curve around a rocky
mountain, and after a little while the
enuon which had seemed so nearly bot¬
tomless has been left behind. The
brst . . twelve , , miles of , the ,, journey brings , .
the traveler to the western face of Pine
Ridge, the last drift of snow
pears, and the stately groves of sugar
pine and arbor villa begin to give place
to tangled thicket of manzanita and
chaparral, and the starved and stunted
digger pines and gnarled jack oaks
take the place of the tamaracks which
grow about the reservoir at the start
ing place. Climate succeeds climate

iietul of Dry Creek is reached, the
flume ha# still some of its steepest
grades below that point. The decline
is not uniform, varying from a hardlv
perceptible; grade to as much as one
in eight. Down the steepest
places the l>oat rushes at a speed which
approaches very nearly the limit ol
safety. Within five or six miles fur¬
ther the flume sweeps round the brink
of a high, bold granite cliff, and two
miles away and 2000 feet below the
little village of Toll House bursts into
view.

The Vanishing Moose.
A deer when started by a hunter oi
driveu ]) Y hounds usually returns in a
few days to the same hill or mountain
side where he was first found; but a
moose, when once thoroughly alarmed,
will start on a long, swinging wmlk,
and, taking with him his entire family,
leave for good. It is one of the great¬
est difficulties—and there are many—
in still hunting this animal, to avoid
getting him under way, for then the
hunter may as well break camp and
try other fields, since not a moose will
be found within miles. They scent a
moccasin track or the smoke of a fire
at an incredible distance. A fresh
trail may be found one day, and ar¬
rangements made to follow it at day¬
break on the morrow. During the
night the moose, returning to his old
haunts, detects the danger signs, and
all the hunters find in the morning is
a trail six or eight hours old leading
for parts unknown in an almost per¬
fectly straight line, The moose is at
that moment, perhaps, seventy miles
off, and still going.
Although moose cannot be driven to
water by hounds, like a deer, but will
turn savagely to bay, still they will
not remain in a locality where dogs
are running; so that when the white
hunters become numerous in the North
Woods, and especially when they in¬
troduced hounding, the moose simply
left the country, and passed either
eastward to Maine or northward to
Canada.
It is a well-authenticated, but little
known, fact that they practically left
in one season. They were numerous
in the Adirondack?, especially in
Brown’s Tract—a large district in
what is now the southwestern part of
the wilderness—until the period be¬
tween 1850 and 1855 (probably near
the latter year), when they suddenly
disappeared. Before this several had
been killed yearly. Scattered ones
wore shot later, but 1855 marked their
exit from the annals of New York
game. Years later, four or five were
brought back to Saranac, but would
not stay.—Century.
1 Captured a Good.Sized Octopus,
For several days past the tides at
Pacific Grove have been exceedingly
low, uncovering the rocks to quite a
distance. This unusually low water
has afforded excellent chances for
conchologists and iehthyotomists,both
amateur and professional, and many
have taken advantage of this oppor¬
tunity. Among them was Mr. Hill, a
resident of Pacific Grove, While
scrambling among the rocks he heard
some distance off a loud thrashing of
the water.
“I called to a friend,” said he.
“and we hurried to the scene of com¬
motion. We saw what seemed to be a
p QO j f u p 0 f i ai -g e snakes, all of which
were endeavoring to make their es

was evidently trying to catch some

get a closer view of such a rare sight,
an( j uor being acquainted with the cus
f oms 0 f ^he fish, we werea little afraid
; but upon seeing us he instant

blackness, which totally obscured him

An ^ ^ ^ th mnch difficulty, conveyed

“Our specimen is about ten feet
seven inches in length. The longest
of his legs is about seven feet, while
his head is some nineteen inches in
thickness. We have written to Stan

as an addition to its collection.—San

3. Stories with a foundation of
fact, the basis being a seal, a fragment
of a wreck, a long strip of kelt, or
some other natural object mistaken
for a serpent.
4. Practical jokes, as the India
rubber sea-serpent seen on Silver
Lake, N. Y., about 1855. This ap¬
peared usually in the evening and in
sight of the veranda of the hotel,
5. The great oar-fish, or king of
the herrings (Regalecus giesne). This
is a long, slender, ribbon-siiaped fish
of the open sea. It swims in swift un¬
dulations, with great speed, on the
surface of the water. It reaches a
length of twenty feet or more. The
dorsal fin on its head forms a high
crest, like the mane of a horse, and
the fish is altogether a striking object.
It has been but omce taken in Ameri¬
can waters, a specimen having come
ashore in Burmtada some years ago.
This fish is remotely allied to the
mackerel. According to Doctor Goode,
all the stories of sea serpents with
“upreared head and the mane of a
horse” can be referred to Regalecus. .
A smaller fish of this type, too small
to seem like a serpent, is occasionally
taken off our coast and known as king
of the salmon. The Chinnock Indians
believe that if this fish is caught the
salmon will cease running. A similar
noxious influence is exerted by the
birth of twins. Other swift moving,
ribbon-shaped surface fishes as the
thread cel, the cutlLss fish, etc., have
been reported as young sea serpents.
6. The great frill-shark, has been re¬
ported as a sea serpont. It was cor¬
rectly drawn as such by a Maine fish¬
erman before its occurrence in the
Atlantic Ocean was kniown. This is a
very rare shark, as slim and flexible as
a snake and grows to be some fifteen
feet or more in length. It has the
general structure oft/.e shark or rath¬
er of the extinct shoeiss, for one has
to go back to the carboniferous age to
find any more like him. This shark
with its frill of gills about its neck is
one of the rarest of fishes, only
four existing in collections. It is
thought to be the oldest living verte
brate, for all other sharks of similar
structure have long since paused away'.
It is the original of the
that swims low with its head under
water.
7. The great killer or gladiator,
This creature is a water mammal &1
lied to the porpoise and dolphin. It
is very swift and strong and of so sav¬
age a disposition that it is the terror
of whales, seals, sharks, swordfishes
and of large fishes ^ generally. It
reaches a length of twenty to thirty
feet. It is ordinarily detested by
fishermen, but this summer it served
them a good turn by ‘ rounding- up
in Monterey Bay the shoals of salmon
from the neighboring ocean. In its
spiteful attacks on the whale, and it
will kill even the biggest of them,, it
has been taken for a sea serpent. Its
sword-shaped dorsal fin, some six feet
high, helps on tae illusion. All the
sea serpents which attack whales,
“choking them in their gigantic folds ’
and ••lashing the water for rods into
bloody foam, are doubtless killers,
8. Venomous little sea snakes exist
in the Indian Ocean. These are well
known and are never taken for “sea
serpents.” includes
The above record all the
sea serpents of which I have seen re
cords up to date.
Artificial Light Inj'urioiis.
Many of the eye disease of the pres
ent day owe their origin to the injur- 1
lous influence of artificial light. Now
that almost every one uses the electric
light, it is eminently satisfactory to
know that the foremost English oph
thalmie authorities accord to it un
qualified commendation. They say
that the incandescent lamp, judicious- :
ly placed and shaded, is infinitely
superior to any other artificial illumi¬
nation, and that not only is it the best
light for strong and healthy eyes, but
that even eyes that are unauly sensi
tive or prone to disease ma\ m it
work loBger and with leSS ri * k aad di s '
comfort than witn gas, candles or oil. .

A Close Call.
“The closest call lever had, ” said
E.C. Seeley, a detective, to the corridor
man at the Lindell, “was in Southern
Indiana, where a posse of us had gone
to capture some counterfeiters. Thero
were five of us in the party, and, as I
had previously been over the ground
and located the house, I was deputed
to watch the front while the others de
ployed in the rear, and we were to
come together at a given signal and
make a rush for the house, which was
a log cabin standing in an open field.
It began to rain soon after we sep¬
arated, and seeing a new weather
boarded house ahead of me, and
knowing that I was in the right neigh¬
borhood, I concluded to stay there a
few r hours until after the rain sub
sided.
“There was 110 clanger of the coun
terfeiters leaving. Knocking at the
door, I was admitted.- Inside were
five men and a woman. They showed
me upstairs to my room, and as the
man who piloted me left I heard him
turn the key in the door and I knew
that I was a prisoner. Then I saw
that the house was of logs an had been
recently weatherboarded. In a few
minutes I heard them consulting to¬
gether in the hall, and 1 felt that my
doom was being sealed.
“Dropping out of a small window at
the end of the room, I reached my
horse just as they discovered my es¬
cape, and the ball from a rifle
whistled past my head as I mounted
the horse. A regular fusilade fol
lowed, and the bullets came close
enough for me to hear them, but I
succeeded in reaching my companions,
and we surrounded the house just in
time to catch them as they started
home. ”—Hi. Louis Globe-Democrat,
'Deserted “Diggings” in Maine,
“The dreariest tract of country
through which I have traveled for a
long time,” said a traveling man re
cently, “is that southeastern part of
the State of Maine which was the locus
of the mining craze a few years ago.
“There is no railroad in that seo
tiou, and iu order to get to my des
tination, the town of Machias, I had
to drive more than sixty miles from
the nearest point on the,,railroad
which runs to Bar Harbor,
<•[ passed through miles of country
which w-as characterized by deserted
shafts of copper aud silver mines, the
ore taken from which did not begin to
reimburse the unlucky speculators for
their outlay.
“Every now and then one sees lhe
moidering remains of what was at that
time believed to be the nencleus of a
future village; the decaying shells of
hotels, bearing such characteristic
names as the ‘Copperopolis Hotel,’
c-tc. In the neighborhood of these are
to be seen the dilapidated homes built
by speculators for a population which
never materialized—habitations which
were never even dwelt in for a day.
“'The excavations made in some
places by the misguided miners are
extensive, and the huge artificial
caverns thus created will remain for
ever, emphasizing m their unsightli
ness a folly which infected the popu¬
lation of the entire State,
“The one small return which nature
gave for all this foolish expenditure of
time and money exists to-day in the
wells of pure water which were
‘struck’ iu the course of the sinking
shafts through the solid rock.”—New
