VICTIMS TOOK REFUGE ON A BRILISH SHIP, AND ADMIRAL SELFRIDGE SAW HER SAFELY OUT OF THE HARBOR IN DEFI- ANCE OF TURKEY. NEw York, Nov. 11.1-The World today publishes the following:? 'The steamship Boyne of the Mercantile Steamship company of London arrived in port on Friday last from Gibraltar and Mediterrancan ports. Captain Fischer has told a remurkable story to Collector of the Port Kilbreth, Law Officer Phelps and Special Deputy Naval Officer Gourley of the customs department as to why he had entered port without a manifest. The British steumship Boyne lay at anchor off Smyrna, Turkey in Asia, on Oct. 10. There had been several riots in Smyrna for three or four days before. The din of another conflict reached the sars of the Boyne's captain about 7 o'clock In the evening, and the cries of the victims of the assassins came over the waters. An hour afterwards a small boat came up the side of the British steamship, and an aged man begged permission to go aboard. With him were six others, three of them women, all Armenian refugees. Captain Fischer assented. He fed them, cared for 211mm and gave them the protection of his ag. Fischer said he was bound for America and in order to be on the safe side the refugees were registered as passengers. Not long afterwards a boat load of Turks, under an officer, rowed up along- side and the forces came aboard. Captain Fischer admitted that he had refugees on his ship, but refused to deliver them over. He drew up his crew of braw- 'my men and the Turkish officer said he would give the Britisher untilthe morn- ing to turn over the Armenians. After the Turks had left his vessel Cap- tuin Fisher manned a boat and moved stealthily from the ship to secure assist ance. He visited in Italian man-of-war, but the commander denied his right to interfere. When dawn came the Minneapolis ap- peared. Captain Fischer told his story, and Admiral Thomas O. Selfridge, Jr., the commander, said: \We'll give you all the assistance you want. You'll take these refugees safcly out of this port if I've got to bombard the town.\ And the admiral ordered off the barge with a detail of marine and blue jackets over to the British ship with orders to hold her safe from attack. Then the American consul was sent for, and it was agreed that the Boyne should sail at once under the escort of the Minne- apolis. The Armenians have just been landed on Ellis island. JOHANN RTH DECLARED DEAD. End of the Strange Career of an Aen- trian Archduke. St. GALL, Switzerland, Nov. 11.1-A Can- tonal court has ordered the Bank of St. Gall to hand over to the relatives of the wife of the long missing Archduke John Nepomuk Salvator of Austria 1,000,000 francs deposited by the latter prior to his departure for South America. It was in 1889 that this archduke, who was the youngest son of the Grand Duke Leopold II of Tuscany, renounced his rank and all his Austrian military titles owing to an irreconcilable quarrel with the late Field Marshal Archduke Albert. * Having renounced his rank he went abroad under the name of Johann Orth and was last heard of in South America, since which time he has completely disap- peared from public knowledge. During the progress of the Chino-J: apa- nese war at the time the fame of Field Marshal Yamagata began to be known an extraordinary rumor found currency in Austria to the effect that the famous Jap- anese military leader was none other than the long missing Archduke Johann. Many | coincidences were pointed out at the time to give force to the rumor. As the belief in its accuracy declined the people in Vi- enna still remained firmly convinced that : Johann Orth was still alive and was hiding in some remote island, from which he would one day reappear amongst his old friends. 'The mother of the operatic sing- er Fraulein Mizzi Stubel, to whom the archduke was married, announced with confidence: \John and my daughter are alive, and now that Archduke Albert is no more, they will soon come back.\ The decision of the Cantonal court looks like an abandonment of hope by his friends that the archduke will ever return to the world if he is still alive. Hon. fsaac Hampton Dead. DANSVILLE, N. Y., Nov. 11.1-Hon. Issac Hampton of Ossian, this county, has died of Bright's disease. Mr. Hampton was born in New England, April 20, 1821, but removed to Western New York when quite young. He was a delegate to the first Re- publican convention held in Western New York. He was a member of the assembly from Allegany county one or more terms. Mr. Hampton's wife and nine children survive him. Wheat Makes Another Record. NEW YORK, Nov. 11. - Wheat has estab- lished another record, at $9 cents for De- cember.

Lo- cal trading was active and feverish all the afternoon. | Western advices reported a continuation of the big cash demand. The total sales for the day were 16,250,000 bushels.

There are many persons, perhaps, who have heard of plants that catch in- sects, but comparatively few, I imagine, know anything about this vegetable fisherman here shown. It is an inno- cent-looking plant, and bears a preity flower. No one would for a moment imagine its real character. This plant is found in most of our freshwater ponds, and is known as the bladder wart or Utricularia. In the early part of the season this plant les at the hot- tom of the water and resembles a mass of fibers; but later on, when the period of flowering arrives, the vesicles absorb the mucus which filled them and re- place it with an aeriform fluid. Then the plant, having become much lighter than the water,escapes from the bottom. end rises to the surface whereitfloats and where its beautiful golden-yellow flow- ers are expanded and fecundated. Itis a magnificent sight to see this rootless plant, floating half in and half out of the water, the branching and stem-like leaves forming thesubmergedfloat from. which rises the flower-stem. 'To the leaves are attached curious insect-like bladders filled with water, and varying in size in the different species, reaching at times a«diameter of one-fifth of an inch. It was formerly supposed that these bladders were filled with air and 3&9\ ¢ [HIM H D Gt THE VEGETABLE FISHERMAN. acted as floats, but this is not so. In place of air these bladders contain wa- ter; they are the digestive organs of the Utricularia, and at the same time are so constructed as to form a tery ingenious but extremely simple trap for catching food. It is into these bladders that many tiny fish find their unwitting way, together with many insects. The bladder, as shown in the picture, is somewhat of a pear shape, with an opening at the small end. Around the mouth are antennae-like projections or bristles, which are for the purpose of . warding off and keeping out insects of - too great size, 'The mouth is closed by a valve which readily yields to light pressure, but offers an - immovable barrier to the once-captured creature. The valve is a thin and transparent plate, and by means of the water behind it is made to stand, out like a bright spot, which many naturalists think at- tracts prey. Some of the insectivorous plants, on catching their prey, at once pour ont a digestive fluid analogous to the gastric juice of the human stomach, |- but with the Utricularia this is not the case. , The fish or other food when caught in the bladder are merely cap- tives, and swim about in their confined quarters with eager activity in theiren- deavor to find an outlet, until asphyxia for lack of oxygen comes on. Even now the plant makes no effort to digest the animal food, but waits patiently until decay takes place and the animal mat- ter is by putrefaction resolved into fluids which the numerous papillae lin- ing the bladder can absorb. - J. Oliver Nugent, in Leslie's Weekly. The Hunter Softly Stole Away. A hunter in the Wisconsin wood: was going through a swamp when he saw a bear stretched out on a log over a brook. Presently the bear put a paw down through a hole in the shell of the log on which it lay and dipped it into the water, The trout gathered around it and nibbled at the foot. Then the claws shut up quickly, and the fish were caught. That the bear was a successful fisher was shown by the remains of fish around the log. The hunter was armed with a shotgun only, and was. not looking for bears, so he quietly stole away, much impressed with the scene he had witnessed. Horse Drinks from a Nozzle. A Connecticut livery stable boasts of a clever horse. One day, as one of the men was using a hose to wash & car- riage, the horse came out, and the man held the nozzle to the horse's mouth; partly in fun. The horse promptly seized it and took a refreshing drink. The next day the experiment was re- peated, and the horse drank again, evi- dently pleased with the temperature of the water. From that time onward he was always watered with the hose, - and if the water is not running he will whinny or stamp with his feet until some one turns on the water. __ --- tate: 1 , _ SURPRISE ALL AROUND: Adventure 'of Trapper, a Jealous Camp . . Cook and a Panther, Forest and Stream tells a story of r» trapper, a panther, and a camp cook. The trapper was a good one, and had had such success that a lumber camp cook, also a trapper, was jealous of him. | One day the trapper, John Gardener, visited an Adirondack lumber camp, and there told of his good luck. Mur- dock, the cook, became restless when he heard Gardener's tales. One day, a week or so later, Gardener returned to his camp soomer than usual, and found Murdock rummaging 'n his ghanty. Murdock explained that he. was searching for tobacco. Later Mur- dock started for the lumber camp in his boat, leaving Gardener cutting a supply of night wood. Gardener lay down and went asleep, then awakened suddenly with the feeling that something, he didn't know what, was sneaking about camp. His: rifle was alongside, loaded, and ho raised himself to a sitting position and listened. He heard footfalls, which he thought were a®bear's, maybe a pan- ther's. The full moon,;shining through a clouded sky and a low-burning camp fire, rendered the camp's surroundings partially discernible. The object that made the sounds. . came into view, and Gardener reckoned; that it was a bear. He leveled his rifie and was pressing the trigger, when out, of a tree overhead the long, lean, tawny, form of a panther shot down at the stooping creature. ' There was a yell then that surprised Gardener and made the panther leap sideways and put through the woods ag! full speed. Then a flicker of the fire showed a man running and stumbling ; headed for the creek.> A moment or so later the splash, splash of oars sound- ed back throughtlfépwoods, dying away quickly in the distance. + A The next morning Murdock returned | to the lumber camp, having been gone,} since the afternoon of the day before,; kis clothes forn to shreds, and hide torn, too, in places. He packed up every- thing of his own, and away he went be- fore noon. This Gardener learned some days after. (Gardener wondered whick of the three was the most surprised, the - panther, the cock or himself. CLEVER ILLINOIS Bov. How He Kept the Birds Away from Hit Tomato Patch.. One of our boys who lives on a big vegetable farm, just south of Chicage is born to bea great inventor. There isn't a doubt of it. ' This fall his father had a large.crop of tomatoes, covering several acres of ground. A few weeks ago they began to get ripe in large quantities, and it kept several men busy picking them and packing them into boxes and bas- kets ready for shipment to Chicago.. But, unfortuna'fely, there were cer- tain small birds in the neighborhood that were as well pleased with the to- matoes as was the farmer.\ And when« -ever the men's backs were turned down would come those birds in a perfect «warm and begin to peck into the ripe DRIVING AWAY THE BIRDS. red fruit.. If they had contented them- selves with eating up a few big to- matoes it wouldn't have made so much difference, but they pecked into doz- ens of them, and when a tomato has so much as one little hole in it it won't sedl, - All this was very 'provoking to the farmer, but our boy found a remedy. Tt happened that he had a lively little black dog that was very. fond. of chas- ing chickens, and he knew that if he could be kept in the garden there wouldn't be any more trouble from?\ birds. So our boy went and drove two. stout stakes 40 or 50 feet apart near. the tomato bed, and between them he | stretched a stout wire, on which he had first threaded a small ring. At-one 'stake he placed an empty box for a kennel, and then he tied the little black dog to the ring. 'The next time the swarm of birds came; for the to- matoes that little dog ran out and, chased them the whole length of his\ wire, and he kept right at it untiFthey didn't dare to come back. Lots of times; he would have liked to run away to the housp, but the wire held him straight to business. Now, don't yow think that boy will become a great inventor some day?- Chicago Record. .
