Of course vessels touching upon
this coast were liable, as they were
everywhere, to lose men by desertion

Such things have been so common that
It is not difficult to believe that those
who left their vessels in early days on
this then distant course had cause for
so doing.
To known as a runaway sailor

An 11-year old Missouri lad has ex-
a remarkable feat in hunting.
The boy's father had bought him a
cheap single barreled shotgun, and in
a few days the boy had shot at every

One morning he began to load bis

down a charge of powder found that
his shot hag woo empty. With the
readiness of a boy to try experiments

smooth that would just fill the
bore of his gun he rammed it down,
and started out in search of game.
He had not gone far before a full
grown deer was seen running through
the woods about sixty yards away.

The cow tree, tho sap of which

species of evergreen, and grows only In

bark of this remarkable tree is almost
immediately filled with a lacteal like
fluid. Alexander Humboldt was
the first traveler to describe this tree
and bring it to the notice of Europeans.
