A CASE OF TELEPATHY.
Old Lady Appeared In a Vision at the
Time of Her Death.
A gentleman took a house in Ireland
for six months and was accompanied
thither by his wife and daughters, says
Realm. The house was furnished and
had plenty of bedrooms. Therefore it
was decided not to use a certain large,
long room with cupboards along one
side (which had all been locked and
sealed up with tape) in-which things be?
longing to the owners of tlie house, had
been put away. Ono evening one of the
daughters going to her room saw an
old lady wrapped in a shawl walking
along the passage in front of her. The
old lady appeared to know her way nnd
hurried on without hesitation into the
unused room. The girl called her sister
and tbay followed the dame into the
room. But all was silent; no one was
there; the dust lying about showed no
signs of footprints.
Shortly after the same young lady
was reading on the hearthrug by fire?
light Looking up she beheld the old
lady standing in the doorway watching
her. Greatly frightened, she sprang up
and, rushing downstairs, was found
fainting at the drawing-room door. At
. last the family returned to Dublin. One
day when a friend was calling the curi?
ous incident which I have narrated was
referred to. The young lady very un?
willingly told her experiences. The vis?
itor teemed much struck and asked for
nn accurate description of the old lady.
"For," said she, "that house belonged
to two old ladies, sisters, and when they
let their house they went to reside, at
Geneva. One of them, answering ex?
actly to the description you have given,
died at the time you saw her appear.
A STRANGE ADVENTURE.
Carious Case of Catalepsy at Hospital de
Pont-l'Eveque at Dcauvlllc.
The Temps reports a curious case of
catalepsy which for several weeks has
been engaging the attention of the doe
tors at the Kapital de Pont-l'Eveque at
Deauville, reports the New York Herald.
On the morning of July 25 kvst a
young man, quite naked, was found on
a scat at Deauville sleeping soundly. It
was found impossible to awaken him
and he was carried to the hospital.
During three weeks he remained in a
cataleptic condition at Deauville. Pho?
tographs were taken of him and circu?
lated in the district, but without being
recognized. On Thursday evening tie
unknown man awoke and, surprised at
finding himself in a hospital ward,
questioned his neighbors us to how
he came to be there.
"But it Is impossible!" he exclaimed,
on being told where lie was. "I am in
Paris and I have never left it. Only
yesterday I was working for my em?
ployer, a packer in the Faubourg du
Temple."
He stated that his name was Louis
P-, aged 21 years, living in Paris
with his father. Upon a telegram be?
ing sent to the address given the fa?
ther replied by sending money and
clothing for his son.
Louis P- has returned to Paris
without solving the mystery of his
strajige adventure.
AN AMBER FISH.
A Fish Well Known In Southern Waters,
But One Rarely Seen Here.
t The amber fishes?there are several
species of them?belong to the family
that contains the crevalles, the pom
panoes, the banded pilot, the horsefish,
and the threadfisb. In shape they are
nearest like the pilot fishes; they bear
a general resemblance in shape, how?
ever, to the bluefish, though not nearly
related to that fish. They arc rapid and
powerful swimmers and great travelers.
The amber fishes are found in nearly all
tropical and temperate waters; in the
Mediterranean, the waters of the West
Indies and the Gulf of Mexico, and in
\arious parts of the Pacific ocean. Some
of them are excellent food fishes?all
are shapely and beautiful. The larger
of them may attain a length of four feet
or more and a weight of 50 pounds.
Large amber fishes are common on the
coast of California, where they are
among the most celebrated of the game
fishes.
On this coast, says the New York Sun,
the amber fish comes as far north as
Cape Cod, but rarely; one taken In a
pound net in Gravesend bay in July of
the present year is perhaps the first of
Its particular species of which there Is
recorl here. This fish was a little more
than 33 inches in length, and it weighed
about 13 pounds.
LONG RANGE OF CANNON.
One of Kropp's Guns Carries a Shot Over
1'lfteoa Miles.
The longest distance that a shot has
been fired is a few yards over 15 miles,
which was the range of Krupp's 130
ton steel gun, firing a shot weighing 2,
600 pounds, says Spare Moments. The
111-ton Armstrong gun has an extreme
range of 14 miles, firing a shot weighing
1,800 pounds, and requiring 960 pounds
of powder. These guns, however, proved
too expensive, being unable to stand
firing 100 times, and their manufacture
has practically been abandoned. The
22-ton .Armstrong gun hurls a solid shot
for a distance of 12 miles, and the dis?
charge of the gun cannot be heard at the
place where the ball strikes. From 12
to 13 miles is the computed range of the
most powerful guns now made, nnd to
obtain that range an elevation of near?
ly 4-5 degrees Is found to be necessary.
Quick-firing gun's are more to be de?
pended upon at the present day than ex?
treme length of range, and In this re?
spect what is considered the most won?
derful of guns, perhafps, is one of the
Maxims, which can fire as many as 600
shots a minute, and yet is so light that
a soldier can carry it strapped to his
back.
Entitled to Consideration.
"My misguided friend," said the fat
man with the puffs under his eyes, "I
will admit that I am a capitalist. That
part of your assertion shall go unchal?
lenged. But when you say that I am
not a producer you are wrong. I have
been backnig a comic opera company
lor two months."

FOOD IN THE ARCTIC.
Birds Have No DlfiWulty In Finding Sus?
tenance Amid Pcrpetnal Snow.
The numbers of birds that go to the
?retie regions to breed is "vast beyond
conception." They go not by thou?
sands but by millions to rear thoir
young on the tundra. The cause which
attracts them is because nowhere In the
world does nature provide at the same
lime and in the same place "such a lav?
ish prodigality of food." That the bar?
ren swamp of the tundra should yield
a food supply so great as to tempt birds
to make journeys of thousands of miles
to rear their young in a land of plenty^
only to be found beyond the arctic cir?
cle, seems incredible. The vegetation
consists of cranberry, cloudberry and
crowberry bushes. Forced by the per?
petual sunshine of the arctic summer,
these bear enormous crops of fruit. But
t he crop is not ripe until the middle and
end of the arctic summer, and if the
fruit-eating bird had to wait until it
was ripe they wouW starve, for they ar?
rive on tho very day of the melting of
the snow. But each year the snow de?
scends on this immense crop of ripe
fruit before the birds have time to
gather it. It is then preserved be?
neath the snow perfectly fresh and
pure, and the melting of the snow dis?
closes the bushes with the unoonsnmcd
last year's crop hanging on thrm, or
lying, ready to be eaten, on the ground.
The frozen meal stretches across the
breadth of Asia. II never decays and
is accessible the moment the snow
melts. Ages have taught (he birds
that they have only to fly to the arctic
circle to find such a store of "crystal?
lized foods" as will last thrm till the
bushes are once more forced into bear?
ing by the perpetual sunlight. The
same heat which frees the fruit brings
into being the most prolific insect life
In the world; the mosquito .' warms on
the tundra. No European can live
there without a veil after the snow
melts; the gun barrels are black with
them and the cloud often obscures the
tdght. Thus the insect-eating birds
?save only to open their mouths to fill
thrm with mosquitoes, and the pres?
ence of swarms of tender warblers, of
cliff chaffs, pipis and wagtails In this
arctic region is accounted for.?N. Y.
