One or two of the more serious ac-- , counts are worth repeating. No longer ago than 1891, one Peter Nelson, a "an therefore and Quartermaster, honorable man, saw from the deck of the Rotomahana a beast with the head of an eel and fins ten feet long rise 30 feet out of the water. It was dark above, and white below. He gave a long account of this strange beast, yet, so far, those whom he Intended to convert only reply that it was very like a whale" in short, that he saw nothing more than a whale breaching. Capt. McQuhae, of H. M. S. Daedalus, and his officers, in 1848 created a great sensation in England by a sense ent story which at the time was discredited by the late Prof, Sir Richard Owen. But time brings Its revenges, for it may turn out that the professor was wrong. Briefly, he reported having seen an enormous serpent with head and shoulders some four feet out of the water, and some It CO feet of its body on the surface. passed rapidly so close to the ship that a mans features at the same distance could easily have been distinguished. It had no fins, but something like seaweed washed about Its back. Now wltbin the last few weeks the honor of the captain and his officers, or rather, their credit as observers, has been singularly vindicated, for at the last meeting of the London Zoological society Mr. E. B. Meade Waldo and Mr. M. J. Nlcoll described a creature seen by them from the deck of the earl of Crawfords yacht, the -- which bears a remarkable .resemblance to that seen from the Daedalus.

But the resemblance between the descriptions given by these gentlemen and that given by the officers of the Daedalus agrees too closely to be passed by, and furthermore, both agree with the description of a similar creature seen off Tonquin some four years since.

A submarine contrivance which permits a person to walk under water has been Invented by R. P. Lawton, of Geneseo. Already he has given two demonstrations of its po,wer. Once he remained under water for an hour, the other time for 45 minutes. Lawtons experiments were made at Silver lake. Clad in a bathing suit, he walked out toward the center of the lake, holding aloft a fish pole, to the top of which was attached a flag. He had remarked to some boys on shore that he was going for a walk in the lake. When the flag was about 40 feet from the shore it suddenly disappeared below the water. The boys waited for Lawton to reappear, and when he did not do so they gave the aiarrai Lawton reappeared soon afterwards, and explained his ability to walk under water. The crowd was skeptical, so Lawton climbed Into his bathing suit again and gave another He stayed under water exhibition. this time for 45 minutes. He will allow no one to see his contrivance.
