Collided with Everything Simply lie - ...use an kuluety Jewel Was Aboard— sorro... of Men itho Wore It—All the Inn 1!..ithitol. CERTAIN small ' stone set as e scarf - pin is the avowed hoodoo of the Ellis Island steamboat Shackarnaxon, and is said to be re- aponsibie for all the disasters recently reported as having occurred to that steamboat, on Which Dr. Joseph H. Senner, ed States Commissioner of Immigra- tion, and so many others risked their lives until she was taken off. The hoo- doo stone is an opal, now in the posses- sion of J. J. Hampton, one of the Ellis Island officers, says New York Journal. Mr. Hampton said that while the stone was his property, he would not keep it in his possession for any con- sideration. He vows that bad luck at- taches to it disaster follows it. Con- sequently he keeps it in a phial, care- fully corked and wrapped up in a dark cloth, as it is claimed the light has an effect on the opaline brilliancy of the stone, and the more brilliant it is the greater the danger following it. The opal was innocently worn on board the Shackarnaxon during all the recent dis- asters to that boat. Engineer Delaney was wearing the scarfpin containing the hoodoo opal on board the \Shack\ vshee the last smash-up occurred. De- laney had purchased the pin from Hampton at a reasonable price, know- ing of its history of attendant danger, but when he got nearly killed in Mit accident nothing would induce him, he said, to keep the stone. Eugene Gilles, of No. 600 West Forty- seventh street, who itethe chief electri- cian on Ellis Island, and who says he had formerly no superstition what- ever; next purchased the pin, with the understanding that he should keep it a vek on trial, and if nothing of evil be- fell him in that time he was to pay for It. The first day he wore it he fell from an electric light pole on the island and was 'severely injured. He attributed his mishap to the opal, and immediate- ly returned the pin to Hampton, saying be would not have it as a gift. Hampton, who was mate of the steamer Mattewan last sturinier. says he found the scarfpin on board the Matte - wan, and on: the very day he found it the steamer, which was plying to and from Glen Island, ran into a coal (lock at pier 7, Hoboken, and was badly dam- aged. Several people were thrown front their feet and some from seats, and a panic followed among the passengers, and two women fainted. \Some (lays after, on August 6 of last' year,\ said Hampton, \the boiler of the elattewan blew tip because of a bolt giving way. and the steamer had to be laid up. I was wearing the fatal opal all this time without dreaming of its infnaepee. Soon after I put it away, and did not wear it again for some months. A few weeks ago I was wearing the pin, and I saw one of the immigrants in danger, and I saved him from falling overboard. He misunderstood my kindly intentions and services, and we got Into a fight, in which he nearly kicked my face off.\ Hampton will bear the marks of the Immigrant's kicks as long as he lives. lie recited many other instances of the fatal influences and the ill luck attend- ing the opal, and concluded a long list by saying that he was wearing ;he pin, and while holding the wheel of the Shackatnaxon the wheel slipped and threw him across the wheelhouse and nearly killed him. He says that is the last time he will wear the unlucky jewel. Captain Butler of the Shackamaxon had heard so much about the hoodoo opal that he isked to see it, and handled it freely. He says that on that same evening something went wrong with his daughter's piano while she was playing for him, and the instrument, which cost $375, has since been practically ageless. • . Waste of Gold. It is not generally known, even in Caliornia. that hundreds of thousands of pounds in gold are annually taken from the rude heaps of base looking quartz by the flowing of water over huge piles of broken- rocks that contain the preclotie metal.' The Water easel by the miners is charged with a simple chemi- cal which has the potency to dissolve gold and hold it in solution. This is cyanide of potaseitine a poisonous drug, which ferrets out the minutest particles of the metal. During the late five years the process has been almost universally adopted, and more than $20,000,000 has taus been recovered. — - -- Varnish it Advancing.

Louee Oat ,ccond A unique rat -killing match occerred during the voyage of the steamer Ala- meda, which arrived from Australia yesterday, says the San Francisco Ex- aminer. The battle was between a rat and a snake, and the snake .won the ITU through superior science and good neraishipe The reptile is the property of B. Rey one of the passengers, who has been touring the colonies for some time. It is about five feet in length and the body Is perhaps an inch and a half in diame- ter in the middle. About two weeks ago the owner of the pet decided that it was time for him to eat. A rat was caught in a trap and then word was sent over the ship that there was to be fun. The rat -trap was taken into the smoking -room and a string tied to the leg of the rat, while Mr. Bey had his pet brought out. The rat and the reptile surveyed each other calmly for a few moments, the string on the leg of the former being give - t full play and the snake lying on the floor at full length,' with his head elevated just the least bit. The rat made a sudden nip at his en- emy's head and, missing it, jumped back. The snake dodged and waited for another ferfit. It came very quick- ly, Mr. Rat missing again and getting back to his corner with alacrity, where he squatted and wondered what he ought to do next. The head of the snake began moving slowly to and fro. 'Then, like a flash of lightning, It shot out, and the reptile's fangs mere fastened in the neck of the rodent. Round and round through the air whirled the stip- ple body, and in less time than it takes to tell it the snake was coiled about the rat. • The reptile did not relinquish his grasp on his victim for five or six min- utes, by which time ilie rat was dead. The snake then elowly e encolled and proceeded to devour its quarry. He stretched out at full length on the floor and swallowed the rodent head first. The snake is at the Palace Hotel with Mr. Rey. HIS KINDNESS REPAID. THE KITE BALLOON. A KITE -FLYER TELLS WHAT IT WILL ACCOMPLIS11. • For I pm\ r- tir 'Brother It( . 4 . 01,11 1 (10 MI - Si ill 111/1t1 (t. the kite Ituring Calton and l'roteete.1 by It Doring — — 11 I: meteorologists have admitted for many years that some knowledge of the condition of the upper air will be very vaivable as an aid to weather prealctien. The upper a i r strata are peculiar- ly inaccessible in the case of an attempt to suspend me- teorological instruments for many hours above any local point, owing to sudden gusts and equally sudden cairns. A captive balloon daring strong winds is apt to be disabled by the variable pressure upon its immense globe of confined gas. The wind, if very pow- erful, may drive the tethered balloon downward sidewise and force the gas out of its neck, musing loss of buoy- ancy. According to recent drawings made in London, Prof. Willis L. Moore. Chief \ et! the United States Weather Bureau, is experimenting with a combination of the balloon and the kite, by which during dead calms the gas bags at the back of the kite may carry it upward. while during strong winds the late would take the pressure and parted thy gas apparatus behind it. The Moore kite, as drawn, has a tall, which may ultimately be dispensed with, as in the case of the kites devised by me in 1891 and used recently in the Sunday World plptographic experi- ments above New irork. The tail kites usecl by me on Feb. 4, 1891, for prob- ably the first thermometric kite obser- vation in the world were hexagonal, An Old II moan tilve• tier Benefactor, a Brooklyn Man, actoo.000. About four years ago Henry Lewis. a confectioner, who lives with his wife and six children at 52 Floyd street, Brooklyn, E. D., found an old , woman sitting on the stoop of his house, says the New York Recorder. She was poor- ly dressed and evidently without friends. As she showed evidence of cul- ture he invited her to his,home. She accepted and Mrs. Lewis refused to let her go. The old woman, remained with them until six months ago, when Lewis found it a difficult matter to support his fam- ily. Then she told him she would not continue to be a burden on them anti insisted on going to the poorhouse at Flatbush, where she remained until a few weeks ago, when she returned to the Lewises. She had gone away comparatively a pauper, but returned worth $300,000, which she has turned over to Lewis for his kindness in taking her in and car- ing for her when she was without friend. The neighbors all know of Lewis' good luck. On Tuesday he started for the surrogate's office in Brooklyn to lay claim to the fortune, which had been left by a brother of the old woman. The discovery that she was heir to the money was made when the surrogate of San Francisco inquired for her through the Briaoklyti surrogate and it was discovered that she was au inmate of the poorhouse. A reporter called at Lewis' house last night, but found that all the family, in- cluding the old woman, had gone to a reception at some relative's house. All the neighbors declared that they had heard of Lewis' good luck and were sat- isfied of its truthfulness. None of them could remember the name of the old woman, who, they said, Intended mak- ing her home with Lewis until she died. To Make Coins Liver En Civet. Among meat courses calf's liver en civet makes a nice change. Eight ounces of liver sliced half an Inch thick and four of very thinly sliced bacon, one Spanish onion, and a pinch of dried herbs will be required. Flour the slices of liver and fry lightly on both sides: transfer to a stew pan, with the bacon, previously fried, on top; slice the onion an , 1 fry in the bacon fat; sprinkle these over the liver and bacon; add the sea- soning and herbs; pour the fat from the frying pan, rinse it out with a half pint of stock, and pour this over all. Cover with a close lid and simmer slowly for three-quarters of an hour. Tort.. Some poets think that all the themes for poets have been exhausted and that there is no room for poets in the future.

SS'hen the air rushes tip Mount Wash- ington or Pike's Peek it carries with it surface conditions that are eliminated in the kite observations. A released balloon drifts away with the approach- ing cold wave, anti so the decline of temperature aloft is not properly com- pared with the surface temperature. , Kite:: of light construction can main- tain themselves aloft six days in seven at New York, and probably four days in seven at Cincinnati, where the wind I. light, If night winds, in both cities are included in the eatimate. But Prof. Moore's kite, if he uses gas, would doubtless make the record almost con- tinuous. Since there is often plenty of wind aloft and none at the surface of the earth, the facts are only approxi- mately known at present.—William A. Eddy, in New York World. CLASS EYE FOR A PUG DOC. An Unusually Egly•LookIng Brute Made a Better Appearance. The Westminster Gazette representa- tive reports the following interview with Dr. E. II. Scott of the Dogs' hospi- tal.

The clothing of the children is also much simpler, and the fashiens are not varia- ble. The children of the lower class wear no clothing until 12 or 14 years old, and in the upper class one garment, a sort of shirt, is enough for home wear, and children sometimes go on the street in this 'simple garb. What marketing is no: brought to the door is done by the master of the house, and so the women are free to loll in 'their hammocke and nurse their bebles. The delight of going shopping is en- tirely unknown. It., anything inethe dry goods line is wanted a servant is sent to the shop, who brings borne an armful of whole pieces of the desired goods. If none of these suit, or if the senora desires to look at others, these are carried back, and another and an- other armful is brought. This same servant can be trusted to pay for what- ever is bought, for they are very honest in money matters, only indulging in small pilferings. One of the servants at tae college was accustomed to go to the treasurer every month to drew the salary of the teachers, and she used to have each one's money wrapped up in a different part of her dress, and she never made a mistake in givine the wrong slim to anyone. While the women are very affection- ate, if death invades their homes, you do not see the despair and gloom that so often reign with us in like afflic- tion; they seem to thoroughly take in their religious belief that their dear ones are translated to happier scenes, and that the separation is only tempor- ary. The women of the family do not go to the cemetery with their dead: only the male members and friends. There are no hearses, and the coffin is borne on their shoulders, and they are relieved by different relays every little way. Colored coffins are used for young people, blue being a favorite color. The coffin Is usually rented by the lower class, just for the funeral, and the body is removed at the grave and interred in the ground, with nothing to'preserve it from contact with the earth. The wealthy have vaults, or niches in the brick wall surrounding the cemetery, but these are only rented, anti it is nothing unusual to read an advertise- ment in the paper that If the relatives of such and such a one do not pay the rent of the vault the body will be re- moved by such a date. After a death in a house the piano, if the family is rich enough to own one, is removed from the sala, or liarlor, to the back of the house. and, though it may be moved in a room or two nearer its former station during tne year, it is not opened for that length of time.

Instead of a:very large kite, such as the drawing of Prof. Moore's kite in- dicates. I sent up several hexagon Sail Ithes, about five feet in diameter, hy- ing in tandem from one main line. Of course, in using tail kitee, the branch line, extending to each kite, had to be about three times as long as that used for tailless kites, so as to prevent she tails of the upper kites from becoming entangled with the branching tandem liner below. I found that when sufficient line vets allowed to each kite, there was to trouble in using tail kites *Rh whish to send up my thermometer. Prof. Moore's possible plan for sustaining balloon by means of a tail kite is more likely to be immediately successful than if he attempted to balance in the air a balloon tailless kite, because I found during hundreds of kite ascensions that, nobody knows what the wind will do next. Since fiat kltee of light construction, In mild winds, require little tail, seems to follow that a gas -inflated kite will need very small weights to balance it if the wind is light. In a strong wind a tail about 300 feet in length will be required. Prof. Moore's proposed line of experiment is inter- esting and valuable, and If all the weather bureau stations are equipped with such an apparatus the predictions would be more exact.

He has not uttered a word in the in- terval, and what Is his name or where be came from is unknown.

When he goes to sleep his sides shake with laughter, and in the morning the moment he opens his eyes his capa- cious mouth opens. too, with a loud guffaw. At first it was thought he had adopted this means to escape from being tried on the charge of attempted burglary, but the physicians who have examined hint unite in pronouncing him insane, anti say that his cure is doubtful. The chances are, it seems, that he will lit- erally laugh himeelf to death. This form of insanity. though rare, is not unknown to medical aleisnee, though the mania is generelly of a transitory nature. There are sevet1:1 cases on record of grave personages, - who had rarely been seen to smile, sud- denly breaking into a habit of IILICO/k- trollable an contagious laughter.

When Ships Were Fall -Rigged anti Sailors Were Athletes. A proportion of the blue jackets of any full-rigged ship were necessarily athletes, says a writer in the North American Review. The \upper yard- men\ in a line -of -battle ship or a fri- gate were exceptional men in this way, and much more so, perhaps, just about the time that sail power was receiving its death warrant than ever before. These young men had to race aloft to nearly the highest points, at top speed, eight or ten times a week, when the ship was in harbor, to keep their heads and maintain their breath while \hold- ing on by their eyelids,\ as the phrase went, and manipulating with a eireful and measured order of action the aque- ous and intricate arrangements for \crossing\ or \sending down\ the royal and topgallant yards. It was all done at full speed, for it was universally held that the upper yardmen gave a character to the whole ship, and that one which Was foremost in the exercise was ever considered \the smartest shit) in the fleet.\ The upper yardmen were always the coming men. They had too most opportunities for distinguishine, themselves, were the best known and were most under the eye of the authori- ties. They developed great muscular power in chest, shoulders anti arms. Their lower extremities suffered and one always knew the men who nail been upper-sardmen by their tadpole - like appearance when they were bath- ing. But in the modern steam line -of -bat- tle ship ana frigate these extremely athletic specimens formed a very small minority of the \ship (eimpany,\ end none of them could lose his turn at be- ing upper -yardmen so long as the ehipet reputation depended upon the speed with which the upper yards were crowed and sent down. In harbor the rest of the blue jackets had the hand- ling of the sartitt and sails for exercise Once or twice a week, but at sea Uti- lise of sails for peopuislon grew less and less important. and most of the work aloft was more of an exerciee and lens of a necessity.
