(To the Editor).. Appalling in the ex- treme and paralleling the Clallam dis- aster of two years ago this month, when that vessel went down in the Strait of Juan de Fucalilmost in sight of Vie toria, is the disaster of an hour ago. This time it is the steamship, Valencia, on herrun. from San Francisco to Van- couser, 'which has gore. down just off Cape Beale, anid almost in sight of where the Clallam met her fate. There were 100 passengers and crew on board, and of these, six only survive. These six reached the ° lighthouse at: Cape Beale, and the light-k r immediately wired Victoria for lief, but it feared that ere the spot ean be reached, the last vestige of this ill-fated craft, with her load of human freight, will have disappeared to be seen uo. more.

The, first glimpse of Great Britain that the Canadian tourist gets on his European tour'is that of the Fastnet lighthouse, It stands on a rugged and solitary rock, situated nine miles south of Crookhaven, at the extreme southwdst corner of Ireland, and is perhaps more storm-beaten than any other around our coast. The rock is eighty feet in height, and the lighthouse towers an- other seventy feet above, yet In win- ter gales the Atlantic billows Hterally bombard the massive structure and have even smashed in a portion of the the seas frequently sweeping over the rock with tremendous force. ' Some dozen ar so years ago the stormy wea- ther then prevailing prevented all com- munication with the rock for many weeks, so that the store of food was consumed, with the exception of Seme flour. At last a schooner managed te approach sufficiently near to enable a small quantity of food to be dragged through the sea' by the hungry men, and fortunately the next day the sea moderated, and the stores were once more fully replenished. Except In very calm weather the Fastnet is surrounded by a fringe of foam, and the only means of landing is by the aid of a "jib" fifty-eight feel in 'length, so placed on the rock that in moderate weather its end reaches outside the surf. When a visitor wishes to lana (an unusual occurrence) he is rowed in a small boat as neap as the waves permit, and the light keepers rope, which is secured by the man in the boat. The jib is then swung out, and the visitor, placing one foot in the loop and catching a tight hold of the rope, is hoisted about forty feet verti- cally, and then the jf, being pivoted at its foot, swings him horizontally about 100 feet on to a safe landing. -- London Telegraph. WELSH SUPERSTITIONS. They Associate Spectral Hounds With Mountain Storms. One of the many curious supersti- tions of the Welsh peasantry is that of Cron Annwn, or "the spirit hounds. of the air." When a storm rages over the mountains of Wales the peasant will tell you that his ear can discern the howl of the Cron Annwn mingled with that of the wind, but sufficiently clear and distinct to admit of no mistake of what it is These "spirit hounds," he tells you, are the spectral dogs which hunt the souis of the dead, or which foretell by their expectant cry the approaching death of some person of evil deeds. Few of these who pretend that they can 80 readily distinguish the cry of the soul hunting pack are willing to admit that they havé ever actually seen. a Cron Annwn, "for," they say, "wha would linger until such specters dawn- ed upon the sight? They are describ- ogion," where it is said they are of a clear, shining white, with red ears The above Seems to be the universal description, and on that account the author of "Mythology of the Ancient Druids" gives it as his opinion that they are really "mystical transforma- tions of Druidish priests, with their white robes and red tiaras" In 'the popular superstitions of Tre- land, where a similar belief in spectral hounds exists, they are said to be "jet black, with eyes and teeth of fire" Old Con McMichael, who murdered twenty Persons in the early part of the fifteenth century and who got rid of his victims by burning their bodies, is said to have been eaten by spectral dogs "that could be seen high in the air awfuily rending and tearing his flesh" One of the peculiarities of the Cron Annwn is that the farther away they are the louder their cries appear, the sound decreasing as they draw near. Death For Goldmaking. In the Middle ages, alchemists wast- ed thelr time and substance in unsuc- cessful endeavors to transform lead in- to gold and silver, but even had they Succeeded they could hardly. have gained much by it, for the desirable manufacture, or "transmutation" was fliegalized by a statute of Henry IV, which enacted that "None from henee- forth shall use to multiply" (ie. manu- facture) "gold or silver: and if any the same do, he shall incur the pain of felony"---which, of course, was death.
