Riding Away frem Death on a Horse Determined te Go at a Foot Pace. “In ’72," said somebody to a Globe-Democrat correspondent, “I was a green young country boy, and had commenced studying law in At- tiea—that little place we just passed.

From the British Mediieal Journal, of death,” and death itself, is probably real as well as apparent. The distance which sepa- Fates them is great, but there are intermediate connections, grades of diséolution as of devel- opment. Among these the similar states of trance and hibernation are worthy of special notice. For sleep and for trance, one cause, the exhaustion chiefly of the nervous matter, but more or less of every organ and tissue, is as signable. The hysterical stupor 1s the sleep of nerve centers worn ont with the assault and conflict of Féfiex action. Healthy sleep is the rest of physical elements wearied ‘with the same sttain applied more gradually. #Cases have been recorded in which somno- Jence, continuing for days wit it cessation, has resembled trance in its duration, while Preserving all the ordinary features of natural the Rinernation ef antuete with the eatse trai Somes cae ects Sere eee a wi y sidering.

"The trancelike state developed juite suddenly, and was mistaken by the rela- tives for death. Some slight degree of warmth in the apparent corpse induced the clergyman In attendanes to refuse burial in spite of the decided wish of the relatives that it should take place. After eight days the signs of animation were reestablished, and the subject of this sin- gular experience slowly recovered. In all such cases there isan element of mystery; and one cannot always decide how much of this ts due to physiological or pathological conditions, or to some external agency. We are not informed Of the antecedents in the present instance, and cannot say how much hard work, under-feed- ing, anxiety, of other, catises may have hud to do'with the result. The state described, if really one of trance, affords a striking example of thedimiculty which sometimes, though very Farely, arises in proving the final point in ding- nosis, and a warning that the most trival sign of vitality should not be overlooked in deter- maining the fact of deat! periment at Meudon, on the Seine, seems to have met with a good degfce of success. Of course favorable circumstances were chosen, the wind on one trial blowing only about two miles an hour and on the other perhaps six or eight. Still, to make progress against any wind isa gain in aeronautics. In the recent trials on two successive days the distance un- dertaken was about five miles, the journey outward in one case and homeward in the other being made agalnst the wind, The trip to windward occupied about tl ters of an hour, or twice us long as the one betore the ind.

Letter from La Baie des Chaleurs, There are few evenings in August when a fire 1s not acceptable here, yet 350 years ago, when Jacques Cartier sailed into these waters, he gave them the name of Bay of Heats. The Indian name is much to be preferred and more to the purpose, being He Ketuam Nemache or the bay orseaoffish. Every other man about Chaleurs 18@ fisherman, and those who are not fisher- men are in the fish-curing business or in some way connected with the great industry, ‘The other morning, before New Yorkers were awake, I found myself gliding down the bay toward the Gulfof St, Lawrence in a trim and as fleet a fore-and-aiter as it was ever my good fortune to meet. Everything had eviden been planned beforehand, aud afler a thiny mile run the schooner rounded to off a rocky polnt, and a boat appearing we took her and ‘were soon landed in the cabin of a famous guide and fisherman of those parts. tri bat time shall we start, Bandy?” asked my end. “In about an hour,” replied the fisherman; “ghen the tide's In cheek. “Dve brought no tackle,” Isuggested. “Ye don't want tackie for the white ” salaSandy witha laugh. “There's the tackle for them,” he continued, taking up an old- fashioned rifle and blowing down the barrel. By the time a broiled sea trout dinner had een disposed of the tide was full, and following the fisherman, we went down to the little cove betore his house, where a heavy boat was jerk- ing at its moorings as if anxious to be off. “The old man had given each of us a riffe, “They aln’t pretty guns, that’s, a ” said Sandy, as he trimmed aft the sail and the boat bore away, “but they're shooters and don’t you for fi rR “here you go,” whispered the éld man as a strong; loud put came over the water and a faint cloud of spray drifted from the crest of = ‘wave. “Steudy!” and the old man let tLe sheet run and seized his rifle. The next moment a round blue-white hide popped up just off the beam. ‘There was a crash as if cannon had ex- loded, and the huge form of a beluga rose Bodily ‘our feet at least into the als; Sad ‘Tell back with a sounding crash, “I winged him,” shouted the old man. The animal was whirling about in an erratic man- ner, beating the water with terrific blows with its powertui tal bs? i out for him! he's a comin’—,” and with a blind rush the round bullet head struck the boat a sounding blow that lifted ner prow above water, “Gimme the sheet!” shouted the fisherman, who was pushing on the oar that answered for a rudder. ‘The passenger got the rope, and amid the spray from the dying whale the boat shot out of nger, and the old man rose and sent another bullet Into the white target. “They're hard to kill if you don’t fetch 'em first shot,” he said. “Now, you pull up and Pll give him the lance.” ‘The whalo was still making the water foam when the prow of the boat ran alongside. A quick blow—the water was discolored by ‘the ood of the beautiful creature. A few more blows and it was dead. A barrel was lashed to for another. “There's your chance,” said the fisherman, as a puif came a hundred yards away, “Yes, thats too far, but you can tell now just where he'll come up @ ‘second time. Pint your rifle over there,” continued the fishermau, pointing to a spot two hundred feet in advance of the place where the animal had appeared, The sports- man folowed instructions, aud a moment later almost in front of the rifle rose the white head. I fired, and by one of those remarkable chances that come sometimes to green nands, the bullet struck the white whale in the heart. A. single leap into the alr and it was dead, The old por- Polse-shooter dropped the oar and insisted on shaking hands, “Wall, you've been at this business betore. There ain’t no use a denyin' of ‘ou never could have hit that critteref you in’t.” So greatness is thrust upon some people, and as I did not shoot again, I eame away ‘with a proud record as an old beluga shooter, ‘The others took two more whales before the day ended, and for off-nand shooting {t must be said that the exhibition was a fine one. It was interesting to note how accurately the fisher- man guuged the power of the animal to remain under water, He hit it every time, and hsown statement that he rarely missed could be well taken, The whales were finally taken in tow and hauled upon the nearest beach. ‘The white whale, better known as the beln; is ery common in the Gulfof St. Law ce ant several hundred miles up the river, ‘Theadults are about fiiteen feet long, of a pearl blue-white color, the young being spotted or marbled.

Just above the mouth of a creek flowing into the St. John's river was.a small bay or lagoon, and as rowed softly into this, we caught sight of im. He was the biggest, ngliest-looking alligator ever seen in the state of Florida, He was two- thirds out of water on the sandy shore, and on that part of his body thus exposed we could see tue marks of adozen bullets. It was evident, from his size and wrinkles, that he was an old denizen—a boss among alligators. How many darkies, pigs and calves he had picked up dur ing his career could only be guessed at, but he was sized up as having taken in his full share of this world’s goods, ‘We were afier his highness. Among our party was a machinist, who had invented an infernal machine. It'was a clock-work ar- rangement to explode gunpowder, and we had been hunting for some autocrat, monopoly or yrant to try iton. We looked upon the alli- gator as the personification of all three Indi- vidualities and corporations, and we wanted to strike a telling blow for freedom. As soon as we discovered his hiding place, we fropped buck to the river, and the machinist prepared his surprise. The clock was set to ran for half an hour, and the entire machine, prop- erly charged, wax encased in a large neck-piece of beef brought from the hotel Kitchen. ‘The bee! was wound with wire, and then we were ready. ‘The idea was that the allizator made his home in the lagoon, and that he wis notlikel toleave it under ordinary circumstances, ne,ro was landed and sent through the bush to” scare the old monopolist out of sleep and off the shore. ‘This was a feat easily accomplished, although the reptile seemed mad and insulted as he took to the water. We then rowed into the lagoon, a stout fis line was tied to the beef, and we beyan trolling for alligators, Using the oars very softly, we rowed back and forth across the iagoon, with the beef drawn along on the bottom. From the Ume the clock was set to the moment we en- tered the lagoon was full fifteen minutes. When: we had used up five minutes of the other fifteen things began to look discou.aging. Somebody besides the alligator might get blown, up. We bad exactly eight minutes left when tie machintstcalied ont “He's got it! He’s got itt for the shore!” Somebody or something had grabbed the baited line with such eagerness that the man had tw let go, He had taken the precaution to attach a float, and as we stood an the shore we Saw this float make circuit of the lagoon, His royal nibbs had got it, and if that internal achive. was of any “good ‘he would mugrnal made to fecl real unhappy. We got back on a rise of ground about thirty feet trom the water and waited. The tour or five minutes seemed twenty, and we were be. gitning to despair, when the alligutor suddenly reached like a whale, and at the same mo- ment the explosion took place. There wus & horrible muss. Meat and pieces of hide s tered the sand and bushes, and about half the tail was blown thirty fect’into a tree to lodge there. The smell for the next ten minutes would have discounted all the skunks in Ohio, and we had to push back a quarter of a mile and wait for a cold wave to carry it off. ‘The infernal machine was asuccess, It had exploded to the very minute.
