CREATEST FLOATING DOCK.
The Mammoth Affair to lie Used bj
Our Navy.
The mrgest floating dry dock In the
world is now being built for the Uni
ted States Government by the Mary
land Steel Company, at its works, at
Sparrow’s Point, just below Balti
more, Aid., says the New York Herald.
This dock, when finished, will be
towed down Chesapeake Bay to the
Atlantic, and through the Gulf of Mex
ico to the Mississippi, where It will he
stationed for use at the naval station
iit Algiers, La.
It must he delivered to Uncle Sam
by November 1, and in the event of
failure on the part of the company to
complete it by that time S2OO for every
delay of twenty-four hours will he de
ducted from the contract price of SBIO,-
000. The work of construction Is now
being pushed to a finish. Part of the
shipyard has been fenced off, the fore
shore has been scooped to form t
berth, and the dredged material ar
ranged so as to form a coffer dam. A
platform of timiters was laid in the
large hole, and two trestles were
erected to carry the tracks for the
traveling cranes employed in placing
the plates. Tracks are laid around
the berth and piping for the com
pressed air by which the riveting ma
chines are worked. The complement
to these arrangements is a machine
shop, built expressly for the work in
question.
When the work is completed the cof
fer dam will be cut through, and the
waters of the Chesapeake, which will
then rush iu and float the structure,
will make any preparations for launch
ing unnecessary,
The dock will materially augment
the importance of the naval station to
which it lias been assigned, especially
in view of the fact that, the value of
New Orleans as a base Is steadily in
THE LARGEST FLO ATI NcT DRY ~D OCK IN' THE WORLD,
creasing. The dock will be powerful
enough to lift a 35.000-ton vessel two
feet above the surface of the water,
and with the lioor awash, it will be
‘able to lift tt vessel of IS.tiOO tons with
tlie same ease. It Will lie a very supe
rior affair, not only in paint of strength
but also in simplicity.
Acid or basic open hearth steel is
exclusively used, the timber walling of
eighteen by twelve pine being em
ployed merely as fenders. The enor
mous walls serve primarily to give sta
bility and to regulate the descent
when the pontoons are submerged.
They enclose four water-tight com
partments, which contain the quarters
for the crew and the pumping appara
tus. Each wall has four pumps. With
a separate engine for each pump and a
separate boiler for each engine. The
piping, however, is so at ranged that
any of the engines can be supplied
with steam from any of the boilers, an
advantage by which, with only engine
boiler and pump, the dock can still be
bo lifted. The entire machinery will
lie managed by means of levers from
a valve house on each wall.
The peculiarity of the 1 dock Is that
the bottom of any of the walls can be
reached by keeling. The middle pon
toon is large enough to raise the other
two out of the water, and can be re
leased and lifted out of the water It
self. There are many manholes by
which access to the inside of the wall
and pontoons may be obtained.
THE DOGS OF WAR.
How tlie Animal* Were Made Vie of In
the Middle Ace*.
"More doeil- than man,” says Buf
fon, "more tractable than any of the
FIRE-BEARING DOGS TO SCATTER THE
enemy's CAVALRY.
other animals, not only does tlie dog
become educated in a short time, but
even adapts himself tb ajl flic %blts j
of those who control him.” According
to circumstances, he may become a
hunter, a fisher, and a guardian of
houses, merchandise or flocks. Har
nessed to the sledge of the Eskimo, he
performs the duty of the horse or rein
deer, and in the streets of Constanti
nople or Cairo, that of ragpicker or
sweeper, in freeing the streets of tlfc
garbage thrown out of the houses. In
circuses he becomes a clown, a jumper
and a gymnast. And all this through
the combined effort of his intelligence,
sense of smell and vigorous and quick
moving legs.
Probably one of the most curious
purposes for which this sagacious ani
mal was ever trained was in the Mid
dle Ages, when he was employed for
the conveyance of fire toward an ene
my’s cavalry, in order to strike terror
among the horses and throw them into
confusion.
These warrior dogs, one of which is
represented herewith from an old en
graving, were accoutered in a cuirass
of leather in order to prevent them
from being burned by the flaming resin
which they carried upon the back in
a metallic vessel.—Scientific American.
AUTOMATIC ECG SOILER,
The Cooking Done In a Manner Said to
lie Scientific.
There Is reason in the roasting of
eggs, but very little in the boiling of
them—at least, as a rule. How many
cooks, for instance, know that an egg
can he cooked so as to turn the yolk
“hard” and the white “soft,” or vice
versa, just at the will of the operator?
The general plan of boiling an egg at
the gallop in a sausepan, timing the
operation with a sand-glass or Hock,
Is about the most unscientific opera
tion carried out iu the kitchen.
Boyle’s automatic egg cooker is based
on thoroughly scientific principles, and
that is why we like it, says London
Invention. It consists of an upper
and lower vessel, as illustrated, the
upper one having a small hole in {he
bottom. The eggs are placed in the
upper Vessel, which must he filled with
boiling water. The principal upon
which the cooker acts is briefly as fol
lows: An egg requires about 160 de
grees to 175 degrees Falwenheit to cook
it. The eggs are, say, GO degrees Fahr
enheit when put In, and the water 212
degrees Fahrenheit, but together, the

water in con'tact with fhe eggs is re
duced in temperature, and would fall
lower than 160 degrees Fahrenheit at
the bottom of the, vessel, were It not
for the small hole which lets it away
and gradually allows the hotter water
to come down on the eggs, but so slow
ly that by the time the top layers ap
proach they have, by conduction and
radiation, become cool enough not to
overcook the eggs. By the time the
water has run through into the other
vessel the eggs will be cooked, and if
not required Immediately will keep
hot for a considerable time without
spoiling.
Drum* In Pekin.
The policemen of Pekin are, or at
least were, armed chiefly with small
drums, which they heat loudly, in or
der, it is presumed, to let burglars
know that they are coming. All night
long the watchmen beat their way
'around the streets, and as a natural
consequence, are said to make few ar
rests. The pigeons of Pekin have each
a light whistle tied to their tails,which
give forth a loud sound as they fly.

their coming and warn other people

NEW YORK MOB I
ATTACKS NEGROES j
Sought Vengeance For Hurder of a j
Police Officer.
PANDEMONIUM PREVAILED
Affair Was Similar to the Recent j
New Orleans Trouble.
A New York dispatch says: A mob j
of several hundred persons formed at j
11 o’clock Wednesday night in front i
of the home of Policeman Robert J.
Thorpe, Thirty-seventh street and
Ninth' avenue, to wreak vengeance
upon the negroes of that neighborhood
because one of their race had caused the
policeman’s death.
Thorpe was stabbed Sunday night
by several negroes while he was at
tempting to arrest a colored woman.
The man who is said to have inflicted
most of the injuries is said to be Ar
t! ir Harris, a negro who reached the
several weeks ago from Wash
ington.
In a few moments the mob swelled
to 1,500 people or more, and as they
became violent the negroes fled iu ter
ror into any hiding place they could
find. The police reserve from four
stations, numbering 400 iu all, were
called out.
The mob raged through the district,
and negroes, regardless of age or sex,
were indiscriminately attacked. Scores
were injured. It took the combined
efforts of the reserves, with as many
more policemen on regular duty in the
four precincts, to restore order.
Clubs were used until the policemen
were almost exhausted. Revolvers
were emptied into the air and in one
or two instances fired at the upper
stories of the negro tenements from
the negroes defensively threw
bricks, paving stones and other mis
siles.
For the nxt hour the streets were
filled with a rioting, surging mob. It
was a scene of very much the same
order as took place a few days ago in
New Orleans. New York has seldom
bad its equal. The shouting of the
men, the shrieking of the women, the
lamentations of the children, the shoot
ing of revolvers, crashing of windows
and all made a perfect pandemonium.
There were at one time more than
5,000 persons in Broadway. Up and
down, into and out of hotels and sa
loons, into Herald square and side
streets the mob went looking for ne
groes. Any unfortunate black was set
upon ami beaten. Many were hustled
into the West Thirty-seventh street
station for protection.
OPERATOR ASLEEP.
His Negligence Caused Collision
of Fast Trains and the
Loss of Seven Lives.
A special from Grand Rapids, Mioh.,
says: A dense fog, a changing of train
orders and a moment’s drowsiness of
a telegraph operator combined Wed
nesday morning to cause a collision
and wreck two of the heaviest and
finest trains in the service of the Grand
Rapids and Indiana railroad, and the
loss of seven lives and the injury of
about a dozen more persons.
The fog was so dense as tojaide
from sight every object, no matter how
large, outside a radius of a hundred
feet from any given point. Train or
ders had been changed the night
before, but after the northbound ex
press, a resort flyer containing through
sleeping coaches from Cincinnati,
Louisville aud St. Louis had left the
city at 4:05 o’clock, a. m., the train
dispatcher’s offices decided to cancel
the arrangement.
One.engineer received his orders all
right, the other did not. The opera
tor at Mill Creek, a iSmall station five
miles north of the city, had been
asked if the express bad passed him,
and upon repaying in the negative was
told to flag it and give new instruc
tions. But it had passed him un
noticed a few minutes before, while
he slept. He is an experienced opera
tor and had always been one of the
most trusted employees of the road.
He discovered his awful mistake a
moment too late, but rushed to his in
strument and notified the Pierson
operator just as the flyer went whiz
zing bv his office.
