A REMARKABLE STURY.
: v '
A WOWAN'SPRAYER IS ANSWERED IN
A MIRACULOUS MaANNER.
" The Gainesville Eagle publishes an ac
count of a most remarkable occurrence.
It is as follows: “One of the strangest
and most remarkable accidents tha: ever
came- to light is related by Mr. M. E.
uA.llen, a photographer by occupation,
‘who tells an interesting little story. It
is a photograph which represents a sau
cer, in the center of which is a distincy
likeness of a human face. It s the bust
of a man with curly hairand dark beard,
and several to whonrit has been exhibit
ed at once recognized a resemblence be
tween the engravings usually seen of
O'nist, *
“Jt seems that some time since a Mrs.
Timmerman, of Piedmont, S. C., where
young Mr. Allen has been in the photo
graph business, suffered the loss of a
favorite daughter., The bereavement
left the the mother broken hearted. She
‘is a Christian woman and she prayed
that God would give her some token by
‘which she might be comforted.
“One day while clearing the dinner
tab]e, in gathering up the dishes prepar
atory to cleansing them, the settlings of
a cup of coffee ran into asaucer which
had not been used. In taking up the
saucer to wipe away the settlings she
saw to hier intense astonishment that the
_coffee grounds was a perfect profile of a
~human bust, and what was yet more
~wounderful that the head and face formed
the ideal likeness of Jesus Christ. She
recognized it as such instantly and ac
cepted the strange coincidence as ap an
swer to her prayer. ;
“The grounds dried on the saucer and
yet retained the shape they first assum
ed. The dih has been photographed
and any one so desiring may see it.
“Mr. Allensays that no human hand
has touched the remarkable production,
and tha’ Mrs. Timmerman is a reliable
and truthful lady. 7To say the least of
the occurrence it is is a very remarkeble
.circumst.ance.”
"~ Building a Railroad Through the Sea,
From the London Daily News,
' An interesting experiment is about to
~ be carried out at Brighton in the shape
of the construction of a marine railway
for the purpose of connecting Brighton
with the little village of Rottingdean,
some three or four miles to the cast
ward. The rails will be lain on the solid
rock with concrete, and at high waler
_ will be covered by *hé sea which, bhow
; ever, will not affect the carriages, the
~ latter being supported on a framework
£ .at keeps them high and dry. At this
) part of the coast the cliffs are high and
__ the beach is practically inaccessible, so
that no boating traffic will be inter
- ferred with. The cars will be moved by
_ electricity, like those now in use along
" the eastern foreshore of Brighton.
Tennyson on Spring.
We have the word of Alfred Pennyson
for it that in the spring the young man’s
fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love.
1t is singular that the great laureate
omitted to mention the fact that it is in
'¢the spring that a considerable portion
v*of the human race turn to taking Hood's
_Sarsaparilla. Probably nothing but the
difficulty of findinz a good rhyme for
that invaluable remedy deterred him,
Certain it is that the old-time domestic
remidees are generally discarded in favor
of the st mdard blood purifier, Hood's
- Sarsaparilla, which has attained the
; gu;atea popularity all over the country
- as the favorite spring medicine. It
~ purifies the blood and gives nerve, men
' tal, bodily and digestive strength.

Cm_ltest.
The fistic encounter between Fred May
and Colonel W. F. Cody which occurred in
a Washington hotel recently attracted wide

and picturesgue personalities of the partic
ipants. Fred May comes of one of the most
aristocratic New York famnilies and has

BUFFALO BILL,
of metropolitan society. Yle has gained
greater publicity, however, by figuring in
frequent brawls like that with Colonel
Cody, and a short time ago narrowly es
caped being sent to Sing Sing for assault
ing a New York policeman.
Colonel Cody is known to international
fame as Buffalo Bill, the scout, sharpshoot
er and showman—a veritable dime novel
hero in the flesh. Cody was bred on the
1 plains and killed his first Indian when he
“was 11 years old. He served during the
war as a scout in the Seventh Kansas regi
ment, called “‘the Jayhawkers,” and after
the conclusion of hostilities returned to the
wild life on the plains, taking a contract to
supply meat to the men cohstructing the
Kansas Pacifie railroad. Under this con
tract he killed 4,280 buffaloes and earned
$5OO a month and the sobriquet of “‘Buffalo
Bill.”
He clinched his claim to the title ina
buffalo shooting contest with his rival,
Billy Comstock, whom he (%ef(:ntcd by a
score of 69 to 46. Cruel ‘‘sport,” this, where
the dull brutes were ‘‘rounded up’” and
slaughtered like cattle in an abattoir, but
we must remember the time and the ex
citement of a personal challenge. There is
no record of Bill again shooting buffaloes
for amusement.
In 1868 he was made chief of scouts under
General Sheridan in the war against the
Dog Soldier Indians, and he did invaluable
service as a guide over regions utterly un
known to the military. During four years
he remained at Fort-McPherson, where he
arranged buffalo hunts for many visiting
easterners—foreigners, too, among them the
Grand Duke Alexis.
In 1872 he went to New York, fell in with
some actors and went on the stage. His
career since that time is well known to all
readers who are interested in it. ]
Storing Heat.
The plan proposed by a London engi
neer forstoring heat is believed to possess
decided advantages over others which
have been brought forward, the main
feature being the use of boilers and en
gines to produce heat during the day in
specially constructed reservoirs, As the
water in the boilers is raised to R3O
pounds pres<uré it is conducted to cylin
drical reservoirs, resembling English
horizontal boilers, and stored there for
use when wanted. In this way a com
paratively small boiler plant can be used
for heating the water o 250 pounds pres
sure all through the 24 hours of the day,
and the stored water may be drawn ou
at any time, according to the extent of
demand—the steam engines to be worke
by the steam generated by the release of
pressure from this water, the valves to
be arranged in such a manner that the
steam shall work at 130 pounds pressure.
In favor of this system, the statement is
made that a reservoir 8 febt in diameter
and 30 feet long, contaifling some 84,000
pounds of heated water at 250 pounds
pressure, will supply 5,250 pounds of
steam at 130 pounds pressure.—New
York Sun. :
A Dead Letter Office Story.
Among the curiosities in the mu
seum is a baby Jumbo with one of his
sides gorgeously embroidered in the
stars and stripes and the other flaunting
the union jack, the two united by a
golden chain. It had drifted thither
and had been for several years ensconced
in its glass case when a pestal exhibit
was begged frgm the departiment for a
charch fair, and for the first time Jum
bo went out for an airing. It so hap
pened that alady from New Hampshire
i was visiting Washington at the time
~and went to the fair. To the surprise
- of her friends, she greeted Jumbo as a
long lost friend. Ten years before she
had made him and sent him to.her
daughtér in England, who had married
a man named Link; hence the design
of the two flags linked together, But
she did not claim her possession, and so
he has never made his journey across
the ocean.—Patti Lyle Collins in St.

DANGEROUS CARESSES.
Divers Fight Desperately to Escape the
Embrace of the Devilfish.
“The devilfish is the diver’s greatest dan
‘ ger,” said T. P. H. Whitelaw, an experienc
ed diver, in conversation with a SBan Fran
cisco Chronicle reporter. ‘‘Where a diver
is working alone these devilfish are really
dangerous, though where there are others
down with him there isn’t any great dan
ger, as the divers dould cut the devilfish
to pieces before he could inujure a man or
tangle his apparatus The fact that the
fish discolors the water makes it impossi
ble for thie diver to see what tado when he
is attacked and makes him feel the danger
of the dark. One of them caught me once
while working off the Faraliones, but it
was a little one only about six feet long,
and I cut off its tentacles as-fast as he put
them on me,
“They’ll fight hard enough when attack
ed, but they do not seek a man to injure
him. If the diver happens to come upow
one of them when be 1s at work, it is apt to
fasten to him and draw him into its ém
brace. But they have no power to injure a
man except by crushing and rending, as
their mouths are only the size, shape and
strength of the beaks of cockatoos. Their
power to rend is not sufiicient to tear a man
limb from limb, but of course they might
kill a diver by tangling his tube and shut
ting off the air. They have little swimming
force, and all these stories about their tow
ing lavge vessels are bosh. Their power is
jn muscular contraction, and before they
can exert it they must first fasten to a pock
or some heavy objegt. Even then their
strength is not tremendous.
“I made a test of one which was on our
pontoons in Discovery bay in 1834, It fas
tened to a rock which weighed while sub
merged just 70 pounds, When out of the
water, it weighed 200 pounds. The devil
fish could lift the rock to the surface and
partially out of water, but was not strong
emough to lift it entirely free. This fish
- was 11 feet 4 inches from tip to tip, and |
estimated his rending power at about 200
pounds because bhe couldn’t lift the:. 260
pound rock.
*“I don’t think the devilfish can see
through the black fluid it emits when dis:
turbed any more than a man can, but it has
much more power of feeling, and a man has
to cut very lively to lop away vhose tenta
cles.
“Of course there are sharks about the
wrecks—plenty of them. But [ never knew
one to attack a diver with a suit on. I think
the eéscaping air bubbling from his heimet
scares the fish away. Then, too, each diger
carries a knife, and a shark would be no
match for him, = I'he largest man eater 1
ever saw along this coast was 11 feet long,
though thebone sharks ran as high as 40to
50 feet iv length. They are harmiess, how
ever, as far as man is concerned. The little
pilotfish, which goes abead of the man
eater, pointing the way, never approaches a
diver, so the shark doesn’t attack him,
though the attack will come quick enough
once the diving suit is removed.
*Sea lions are also quite dangerous tothe
diver, though they never attack him or in
jure him intentionally. But once a sea lion
gets after a fish he doesn’t stop for any
thing, and in passinga diver is apt toknock
bjm over and tuun:ble him all in a heap. The
(fiver, with all his weight, is a mere noth
ing in the sea lion’s path.
“The whales are harmless. Sometimes
they come and play about ths wreck, but
they show little curiosity regarding the
divers and never offer an assault.
“Do I ever find any treasure? Very little.
I hear of a great deal, but when it comes to
finding it, it isn’t there, People generally
manage to save their gold and jewelry, and
then they say they lost éverything with the
ship. The divers search the trunks and
chests, but rarely come across anything of
large value.”
