OF ADVENTURL, TXRILLING INCIDENTS AND DAR ING DEEDS ON LA:ND AND SEA. A Girl Ditches a Runaway Train Stranc rescue at Sea-Impris, oned in a Water Tank. S PEAKIG of exneriences or the railroad," said a New orli t.aveling man to a Wrashinztor Star writer, "I had a slighi scrape one time on a mountain road it Tennessee that may be worth the har ing. We were coming clown a long grade of ten miles in a mixed train. That is, we had a gondola loa'ied with ties as the' end car. with our two passen;e coaches end baggage car, and I should say we were matin; about twenty miles an hour on a track that would b. treat ing us very kindly if it didn't sling u into eternity if we dared to add five miles an hcur to our speed, when I hapoened to look out of the rear door and saw a wild train of loaded coal cars swinging down after us. They had evidently started at a tipple which we had passed only a few mi;,utes be fore, and when I saw them they were just about under headway. "At least, they were going so fast that they distanced the men on the ground, who made a run to get on and stop further flight. I made a wild rush for the conductor, but before I reached him he had ordcred the en gineer to let out his engine for all she was worth, and in this way keep ahead of our chasers. Fortunately we had no women aboar3, and the men could be ke't in better control, though it was all we c:mld do to keep them from jamping off. "It was only a short time until we began to see that our salvation lay in the pursuing train flying the track, becatse we had reached our hmit, and our train was swaying and tossing so that everybody was scared out of his wits. I know I was, and I just sat in my seat and held on, waiting and lis tening to the thunder of the train be hind us, which was not five hundred yards away. and gaining every sec ond. It was far heavier than ours, and I kem that if anybody went o" the track it wasn't going to be the coal train. I saa a moment ago we had no women aboard. I meant we had none to speak of. 'There was one, but she was a homely mountain girl, who didn't seem to know anything, and because she sat ouniet in the corner and didn't scream, we thought she didn't amount to enough to count. I was looking at her in a dazed kind of a way, when all f a sudden she lit out of her seat as if she had been shot out of it, and, knocking everybo:iy out of the way, she dashed out of the rear door before anybody could touch her., and we though; she had jumped oh', but she adn't. She jumped for the onen car. banging on likre a cat, until she got to the far end of it, and in a second she was tumbliiig those ties off at the rate of a dozen a secon. "They would hit the trb.ok and bounce every which way, but she kept piling them off, the coal train getting closer every second, and at last a couple of them stuck up in a cattle guard, and the next thing we knew there was a terrifie crash, rails ani ties and tracks and coal cars .tew, and the coal train rolled over itself and r-at down the hill in a heao. By George, as that girl stood there in her lain calico dress and her old subon net and watched that train pile up at her feet, I thought that Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, Grace Dariig and the lot of them weren't a patching to her, and,as far as we were concerned, they weren't. "She had saved our train and our lives, and we took her on with-us in triumph. Then we made up a purse for her big enough to buy a farm with, and I'll bet she's got more good lothes and jewelry and books and trinkets and things than any girl in the mountains, for we never forget her. She doesn't quite appreciate sor e of the fine things she has, but what do we care for that; we appree ,te her just the same," and the Star man could scarcely refrain from ris ing and giving a whoop or 'iwo for the mountain lassie of Tennessee. Strange Rescue at Sea. The American schooner Star of the Sea, Captain Hopkins, arrived at New York one day recently from Obisbotm sland, S. C.. with a cargo of phos phate rook for the St. He!ena Phos phate Company, of Elizabeth, N. .T. aptain Hopkins reported that iou'r ays previously he sighted an object n the water. The schooner was running free at he time and the Captain had the heel. He hailed his mate and steered or the object. Thre mate soon an ounced that the object was a man, apparently standing in the water, wav ing a dark object. In twenty minutes' time the schooner was abreast of the man. A boat was thrown ovt'ooard, and two of the crew after some difficulty succeeded in bringing him on board. The castaway had no clothes on but a pair of trousers and held his coat in his hand. He said he was Benjamiiu . Week-s, aged thirty years, of Wil mington, N. C., a seaman of the American schooner Harry S. Lord, Jr. Weeks stated that the vessel left Fort Libert:y, Hayti, on Occober 1.2 mth a cargo of logwood for New Yo.rk. On the morning of October 23 the schooner was struck by a sgaall. She became waterlogged, ar-d the seas washed continuously over her. Weeks was washed overboard several times, but succeeded in swimming back to the wreck. The water in the schooner's hold burst oK flie top of the cabin, which washed away. Weeks swam to this and clambered on top of it, clinging to a sklight. The wreck drifted away and nothing could be seen of it u-ti! the folio wing morniug, when Weeks found himself in its immtediate v'einity. He saw his comrades on the wreck and was with in haning distance uintil night, when it again drifted away. The following day Weeks saw noth ing of the wreck or his messmates, and despaired of his own fate. With his feet through the skyhight. : ~nich he ung with both hands, the sea wash ing over him, he sat throughout the day and succeeding nisht without food or water. The next day was bright and clear. larze four-mssted schooner bearins cown upon him, running free, some tines eteerin; directly toward him. again apparently running away from him. He jumped to his feet and waved his coat frantically unii he saw that he was obs-rvev. Captain Hopkins, after hearing hia story, sailed about for a long time in search of the wreck, but failet to fin-d it. He saw a steamship stopped about. ten miles off to the eastward and con ciuded that it was probahe that the wreck had been seen by her people. Imprisoned in a Water Tank, Wh rbiie you're talkin, about narrow escapes from horrible deaths jntd let me till mine," remarked a well-known capita!ist. "I had about as tough an experience right in this city as a ma ever had, but I cot ont all right, and few nreople ever heard of it. "One day I was up on the rCof of a building I own in Pin. street, ja. looking it over to see that it wa. an right. I clirbed up and looked into oue of the big wter tanks in the beild in', and seeing a dead sparrow float ing on the surface of the water, bent over to take it out. I lost my balane and fell in. The water in the tauk came rit up to ray chin when I stood on rmy feet and the top of the tank was tLree feet above my head. The water was running all the ti me, and I could see that it usually stood about a foot hi_her than where it was. It occurred to me that unless I got out pretty auick or turned of= the water I would be drowned; "I soo; found that getting out without help was next to impossible, so I got out my pocket knife and went Ito work cut;ing a boe in the side of the tank as low down as I could work and keep my head above water. Cat. ting through three inches of pine was no easy Job. Tha water wa slowly rising, and before I got a hole through the side of the tauk I was standing on tip toe with just my nose out of the water and every blade broken out of my knife. "I made the hole big enough so that the water ran right down to its level. And the next thing was to get out. It was impossible to climb out without assistance, and I couldn't cut my way out with a broken pea-knife. I knew I must nttract some one's attention. I iuled oCf my shirt, tore itintostrings, tied my lead pencil to my knife and both to the toe of one of my shoes, and then putting my undershirt on the pencil waved it slowly an I ia boriouely over the top of the tank. I waved for hours su. still no one "then it occurred to me to dira down and stop up the pipe leading i oml the tank to attract atten ion. It w,sn't half an hour till people came u.) to sea why tha water would not run, and . wa; helped oat after I had been standing inl the cold water os-er six hourr. "-San Francisco Post. An Olfcer Mlauled by a I:ion. By mail from Cape Town particulars l;ase oeen received of an exeitin.g en. counter with a lioC, in whsch an Eag. lish ofnaar, Lieutenant Vanderzee, who was on a twelve months' leave of absence from his regiment in India, was severely mauled. He landehd at Beira some two months ago, an:1 went into the interior on a hunting expe dition, asco:inpanied by a Mr. Janson and a number of Kaffirs. On the 16th of August three lhons were seen makt ing across the country, a-ad Lieuten ant Vanderzee, anxious to secure the first lion, fired on one of the aninmis at 4'00 varids. The lion, wouded in the hin'd 1eg, immediately tarne i and galloped in the direction of the spor ts man. Portunately retaining his pres ence oi mind, t.he Lientenant managed to despatch a couple more bullets at the rapidly advancing beast at 203 yards and 1037ards, each bullet lode ing in the lion's chest. However, the animal stillI pressed onward, and be fore Lieutenant Vanderzee could ra load the lion sprang on him, throwing him to the groandi. Here the Lse;x tenant was ra:her badly bitten -about the errms and legs; but happily the shots had already taken ed'ect, and de prived the animal of the greater parts of his streng|:h, and erc he could in fiet further injury he rolled over dead on the bleeding body of the Lieuten ant. -Mr. Vanderzee was very badly hurt, his injuries incluliu;a fractured ri2ht arm and seriously mangled thighs. He ws iickel u, an, b'n-a long down tothat place and onward to Beira was extremely painful. The oficer was conveyed down the Pnngwe River in a canoe, and, the river bein infested with hippopotami and crozas dileCs, much delay occurred. To ag gravate raatters, the Lieutenant was attacked with malarial fever. Event ually Lieutenant Vanderzee was lan:l e:l at Duroan and conveye.l to the 4ddington Hcopital.-'.

In the first instance the youth, to whom she had been betrothed for a rear anda a half, expired on the ve-r.y eve of the wedding. In. the second, another young man, to Whom she had been engaged soon aft.er the melan choly event, died a few days before the miarriage, and his successor in her affections has now sh::red a simnilar fate. It se-emsthat sundry ancient femnales of the neighborhmod, attributing this series of calnamiLies to the ieet that the young woman had the "evil eye," have calmly suggested that the only remedy to be fouud is burning her alive. On that score there need be no fear, cf acurse, but the general opinion is that her chances of meeting with at fourth suitor are now infini tesimal. The unlucky g.;i is described by the Tombstane Epitaph as being of an amiable and sympathetic disp:o.sition, an s beh:g, moreover. of very at trctive apprarnm. Prncu I1 niHis Te.-rs.

"Any child who wishes to see the ghost of a flower has only to make a very sim ple experiment. Let him go up to a cluster of blossoms and look very in tently for s3veral minutes at one side of it. Then very suddenly he must t.rn his gaze upon the other side of the same cluster. He will at once dis tinetly sce a faint and delicte circle of colored light around this second half of the cluster. The light Is always in the hue which Is "complimentary" to that of the flower. The specter of the scarlet poppy Is of a greenish white. The ghost of the primrose is purple. The ghost of the blue fringed gentian Is of a pale gold tint. In these circles of color the shapes of the flower's pet als are always faintly but clearly seen. -Chicago Inter Ocean.
