An Amusing Incident of the Recent Yacht Race.

One of the many unsuspected possibilities of wireless telegraphy was dc veloped down the harhor on the occasion of the second cup race. To say that an electrical storm raged is to put the case mildly. On the water were three boats endeavoring to transmit news to three stations on the shore. The rivals were unable to agree on tin question of precedence, with the result that to spite one anotther they Lorn bardod their several so persistently and continuously that only one coherent wireless message reached the excited crowds In Herald square and Park row. When, owing to the haze that enveloped the yachts, authentic, or even approximate, facts were lacking, the operators had recourse to the poetry of the sea, which got even more hopelessly mixed thai sea poetry is accustomed to be.

Afterward they shifted to religious peotry. The Marconi operator on board the Chetolah led off with "The Wreck of the Hesperus," closely followed by "The Ancient Mariner," from the Do Forest operator on the Bowker. Thq resulting information was picked up by the Marconi receiving station at Jamaica. It was the good old sloop Shamrock That sailed the summer sea "By the missing chain and anchor, too, Now wherefore beardest thou me?" The De Forest company Coney house was packed at the time the was the result and hundreds of people were run over and killed long; before the fire reached them. The number who' lost their lives in the building reached the unprecedented number of seven hundred and thirty-six souls, Theo Smith and family are all in Chicago and are sight seeing this week, but it is hoped tha they were not at the Iroquois yesterday, Publication Notice.

The fire originated in the scenery on the stage and was caused by an imperfect electric current in the massacre took place as far back as March 15, 1901, yet this, the first detailed account, has Just come to hand in an affidavit by Mrs.

Mary LI Allen, a white missionary at Nouna Kroo, Liberia. She had the story from some of the native Doo tribesmen who knew of the killing. Tate had a large mission and farm and besides he maintained a considerable school in the Jungle and altogether 19 people were in the mission when it was surrounded in the night by the Doos. The first man who answered the knock at the door was shot. The Interpreter next was shot and as Tate appeared and tried' to protect the body of the interpreter he, too, was shot and cut to pieces.

The Doos then killed all the remaining Inmates of the house, cut ofMheir hands and placing the bloody members in a coffin, sent them back to their people as trophies. In explanation of their action the Doos said: "We have no fight with the white men. But if we do not kill him now he will bring his country to make war upon us."

Some curious specimens of folk-lore and natural history are contained in a rare book, called "The Sportsman's Dictionary," to which Mr. C.

M. Wool-sey has drawn my attention. This was published 160 years ago. The author was evidently a Philistine among Philistines in his attitude toward nature. Of the master musician, the blackbird, he says: "This bird Is not known to all persons, and is better to be eaten than kept, being much sweeter to the palafe when Sead and well roasted than to the ear while living.

Sings about three months in the year, or four at most, though his song is worth nothing; but if he Is taught to whistle he is of some value, It being very loud, though coarse." What an ear and mind! And here is the story of the squirrel, with the ring in it of the seventeenth! even more than the eighteenth cekturyA It reminds one of the hares of zaalf Walton that changed their sexes once a year. 'Tf what Is reported of them be true, the admirable cunning of the squirrel appears in her (where we commonly use 'his when the sex need not be fled, our ancestors often used 'her') swimming or passing over a river, for when she Is constrained by hunger so to do she seeks out some rind or small bark of a tree, which she sets upon the water, and then goes into it, and, holding up her tail like a sail, lets the wind drive her to the other side, and carries meat In her mouth to prevent being famished by the length of the voyage." Of the wild boar we vc CIs: "And what place so ever he bites, whether man or dog, the heat of hig teeth causes an Inflammation in the wound. If, therefore, he does but touch the hair of a dog he burns It off, nay, huntsmen have tried the heat of his teeth-, by laying hairs on them as soon as he was dead, and they have shriveled up as if touched by a hot Iron."
