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 • „pf ffr THE AUTOMATIC RGG BOILER. 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. The blind also use drsms to announce their coming and warn other people to got out of their way la Japan there is a Buddhist tonyafe, foe every the populatlom^flMj 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. CONFIRMATION LACKING.
