Twisted All Sour Masts of the Schooner James B. Drake. The four -masted schooner James 13, Drake is at 111e11 se's shipyard in East Boston undergoing repairs for one of the most peculiar accidents in the his- tory of navigation. While cruising in southern waters the schooner was caught in a eyclonie storm which revolved around the vessel in such a manner that all fou' of her masts were twisted in their steps. When the ship carpenters investigated the solemn- er preparatory to beginning their work they could scarcely believe their eyes. Plainly 801115 rotary notion of wind and storm had caught the poles in a lever- age, forcing them just 11a11 way around. No explanation is offered for the masts not coming out of the ve sel, All four are standing and have been carrying sail all the way to port, to other dam- age woe received during he storm, and although the masts wero turned they were not injured in the least. The accident is the first of rte kind In the memories of the oldest navigators, about the harbor. They say that of all freaky gales reported of the tropics this is the strangest, and many refused to believe the story until they had visited the yard and viewed tho schooner theca" selves. -Boston Transcript, ♦.• At His Own Valuation.

Over sixty years ago an old oilhouse, where the fluid was kept for nae In the Cape Henlopen light- house, was suddenly covered up by the shifting sands of Rehoboth 13e0c11. No effort was made to uncover it, and the sand remained there until many had for. gotten that a house had ever been on the spot. Last week when Ilarry E. Elliott, a well known merchant, and four other companions were walking down the beach near one of tlie sand dunes they;, noticed the peak of a small house show- ing forth and procuring shovels started to dig the sand away, until finally the door of the little place 'appeared. Burst- ing open the door from its rusted hinges the men suddenly plunged into a verit• able icehouse. and were astonished to find icicles hanging from the roof. The ice was broken off, but 'in a few moments melted away: Upon investigation it was fonndthat khe old oilhouse had been cowered up for over sixty, yenta and the icicles, which were formed then, had kept in the perfectly airtight compartment un- til the men dug the sand away. --Reho- both Beach Correspondence Baltimore American.

Marine Surgeon Finds Disease in San Francisco Redents, Whether it is possible for rats to transmit leprosy to human• beings is a question which, says a San Francisco special in the Nov York Herald, has come Op pointedly here, following a re- port made by Dr. George aler'oy, passed assistant surgeon to rhe Marine Hospital Service to Surgeon-Uoneral Wyman. A peculiar disease simile to leprosy has ben discovered among the rats in San Francisco, and experts are now consid- ering whether it could be transmitted to persons. The reports of Dr. McCoy say: "Soon after (wing assigned to the ex- terminations of rats in San Francisco I was informed by the city bacteriologist that ho had observed the leprosy -like disease in 0510 or two instances, He also showed me gross and microscopic speci- mens of 'the lesions. "I therefore began to look for the condition and to keep notes on its oc- currence, lluring the' period covered by this report 13,500 rats were examined and 20 cases of the disease observed. It is believed, however, that the condition Is more frequent than these figures indi• catc, as alt of the cases observed have been made in fnll•grown, large rata,and the lesio s very well marked. • "As to the relation of the disease to leprosy in 1111111, Dr. W. R, l;rinekerhoff, director of. the leprosy investigation sta- tion at Molokai, Hawaii, states in an article which appeared in the transac• tions of the fifteenth annual ineeting of the Hawaiian Territorial _Medical Socie- ty, as follows; ""I'he question immediately Arises as to whether this disease of the rat may not he human leprosy occurring in that animal. Of course, witli the data now available, it is impossible to give a cate- gorical answer to this question, but the geographical distribution of the disease speaks against an affirmative reply. It seems more probable that rat leprosy is to human leprosyeas is bovine or avian tuberculosis to the. human disease, rath• er than that it is like plague or glanders, a disease common to and transmissible between two species."' .4-• What He Meant, Housewife-\Vhy don't you get a job and keep tt?
