LANDING THE 8HORE END.
An Interesting Description of Hon a
Cable Is Secured on Land.
We steamed off and anchored as near
in shore os we could get, opposite the
place intended for the landing place. All
was now activity on board. No sooner
were we at anchor than a conple of boats
were dispatched for the beach, with a
party of raeu and the necessary tools
and implements for use on shore. On
board both picking up and paying out
gear were being made ready for action,
as they both played their part in land
ing the shore end; huge coils of rope and
a number of collapsed air balloons made
their appearance from below.
These balloons were inflated with air
to their full diameter of three or four
feet, and the quarter deck of the Dal
matia began to assume the appearance
of a giant’s toy shop. Meanwhile the
shore party had firmly anchored to the
beach two large “spider sheaves,” or
skeleton iron pulleys. These were placed
some two or three hundred yards apart,
forming two ungles of a parallelogram,
of which the bow and 6tern sheave3 of
the ship made the other two.
A rope was now carried from the stern
of the ship to the shore, and, passing
round both spider sheaves, brought back
to the ship and taken over the bow
sheave to the picking up gear. The cable
was made fast to the rope and paid out
slowly over the stern, the picking up
gear meanwhile heaving in on the other
end of the rope, and so hauling the cable
gradually ashoro. The rope was wound
four or five times round the big drum of
the picking up gear, steam was turned
on, and tho drum, rumbling and rever
berating, hauled the rope in. Aft the
cable was wound four or five times
round the paying out drum, also revolved
by steam in order to ease the strain,
which, with about a mile of rope out be
tween the ship’s stern and her bow, is
something considerable.
As the cable leaves the stem the raison
d’ etre of the air balloons becomes ap
parent. At intervals of about fifteen o:
sixteen yards one is securely lashed to
the cable, and in this way the cable i*
floated from the ship to the shore, and
not dragged along the bottom to run the
risk of being damaged by rocks. An
other advantage is that, if the cable is
sagged by a cross current or tide, it can
readily be straightened by stopping the
paying out and heaving in at tho bowi

I have soon many (lava of joy, but I
remember no such exhilaration as that
which I felt when I mounted my first
pair of bouts.
To appreciate such an era in life one
needs to be brought up in the country.
Boys in town come to thin crisis before
they can appreciate the height and depth
of such an acquisition.
I felt that robust schoolboys could no
longer strike mo across the cheek, and
when I turned cry. “What are you look
ing at?" Nay, tho time was past when
worse than any possible insult could
happen, and that was for anybody to
’chuck mo under the chin and call me
“Bub.”
I do not think there is any law, human
nr divine, demanding that a boy shonld
submit to tho school bully. I remember
with what deep satisfaction, after Jim
Johnson had knocked my hat in the tnud
and spat in my face and tore my now
coat, I felt called upon to vindicate the
majesty of my new boots. That, how
ever, was before l had any idea of be
coming a minister.—Dr. Talmuge in New
York Journal.
A House In » TloUle.
&me years ago a blind boy residing in
Chicago constructed a miniature house
inside an ordinary four ounce medicine
bottle. The building was made np of
forty pieces of wood, all neatly fitted
and glued together. It would have
puzzled a man with two good eyes to put
the pieces in the bottle without the task
of putting them together. As wonder
ful as the above may seem it is only a
part of the remarkable achievements of
this sightless lad.
After completing the house to his satis
faction he set about fastening the cork
in tho bottle, but how ho accomplished
the startling feat has ever remained a
mystery. Inside the bottle below the
neck a small wooden peg was driven
through the cork, which extended far
enongli on each side of the stopper to
prevent it being removed from tho bot
tle. Tho hoy is unablo to explain the
astonishing piece of ingeniousneos. —St.
Louis Republic.

A Banyan Grove.
Near Gitfonl station, on the Staten
Islam? railroad, there is a peculiar piece
of woodland, a sjxjt where the roots of
the trees all attach themselves to the
tranks at from four to six feet above the
level of the ground, giving to the stumps
an odd, spidery appearance. The soil of
the vicitaity is very porous, which lends
weight to the opinion that the banyan
like grove has been formed by the action
of frost and water.—St. Paul Republic.
Cleaning Lamp, by M.ehln.ry,
A machine for rapidly cleaning the
ganse of miners’ safety lamps has been
introduced into the Wombwell collier-
at Barnsley. It is driven by a belt
and pulley, and the two brashes seen at
the end of a abaft have a reciprocating
motion. Two other brushes have a i-ti^
color motion, and are intended to sweep
the ends of the gauze and various ports
of fjj© lamp.—Now York Journal.

Discord In tho Cliolr.
Drilling a volunteer choir is the most
exasperating work ever undertaken by
a human being. In the first place it is
morally certain that at least half a dozen
members think they know more than
the leader, aud two or three are al
ways better informed than the man who
wroto tho music, so they offer, with
cheerful alacrity, the most idiotic sug
gestions as to the manner in which it
should be performed, and feel much ag
grieved if their ideas are not acted on.
Then the women are always either
so devoted to each other that they keep
np a constant chatter when they should
bo singing or listening to the leader’s di
rection, or are quarreling and “put each
other out.”
They are not responsible for ull the
trouble, but when they do quarrel they
generally manage to enlist the men in
the service of both sides, aud the first
thii g the leader knows one half his
choir has quit and tho other half is about
to do so because they are not numerous
enough to make a creditable chorus. A
choir leader says: “1 have gone into
church on Sunday morning and found
six or eight members sitting in the con
gregation. instead of in their places,
and the rest glaring at them from the
organ stand. It is fun for them and for
the people, but it’s death to tho leader.”

Congrct* Gaiter* unit Drowning.
Speaking of congress gaiters and
drowning recalls a fashionable middle
aged physician who thoroughly belioves
in this fatality. He gave it away in this
wise: While consulting a man in deli
cate health about his care for himself in
Ihe winter time the doctor said: “What
kind of shoes have you got on?” They
proved to bo the fatal congress gaiters,
and tho doctor objected. "Did you ever
seo an account of a drowned man fonnd
in the bay that didn’t say lie had on con
gress gaiters? You laugh anil say that
doesn’t mako any difference, and there
is no connection of cause and effect.
"How do you know there isn't? You
can't trace it, but I’m not certain that
congress gaiters do not tend to such
moral nnd physical degeneracy that a
man is liablo to fall off a ferry boat, or
in n fit of despondency to jump into the
river. At any rate 1 don't wear them.
I told a woman tho same thing once and
she laughed. 1 went on, and when !
leached home found a letter from her,
saying sho imd picked up a paper after 1
went away, and the first tiling found
several confirmations of what 1 said, and
she wanted to admit that she was con
vinced."—New York Tribune.
In til. ClouiU.
Professor Moller, of Curlsruhe. has
made some interesting observations on
clouds. The highest clouds, cirrus nnd
cirro-stratus, rise on an average to a
height of nearly 80,000 feet. The mid
dle clonds keep at from 10,000 feet te
28,000 feet in height, while the lower
clouds reach to between 3,000 feet and
7,000 feet. The cumulus clouds float
with their lower surfuce at a height ol
from 4,000 to 5,000 feet, while thoit
summits rise to 16,000 feet. The tops ol
the Alp* are often liiddeD by ciomls ol
the third class, bnt tho bottoms of ths
clouds of the second class, and espe
dally of the thunder clouds, often enfold
them.
The "e.rtical dimension of a cloud ob
served by Professor Moller on the Netle-
bergwas over 1,200 feet He stepped
ont of it at a height of about 3.7U0 feet,
and high above the mountain floated
clouds of the middlo class, while veils ol
mist lay in the ravines and clefts. The
upper clonds were growing thicker,
while the lower ones were dissolving,
and soon it began to rain nnd snow.—
Publio Opinion.
A Smart Detective.
Sergeant Moser on ono occasion saw u
waiter in a cafe at Soho receive and
place in his pocket a letter which the de
tective believed to be from a criminal a
knowledge of whose whereabouts iie was
anxions to obtain. He therefore drop
ped his ring on the floor and asked the
man to look for it. AlphonBC, expecting
a reward, immediately went on hi,
hands and knees, and while thus en
gaged Sergeant Moser abstracted tho let
ter from his pocket and thus obtained
the means of bringing a forger to jus
tice. Who can doubt that this was a
perfectly justifiable act? But if. instead.
Sergeant Moser had suborned another
person to steBl for reward, anil without
telling him the object in view, lie would
most assuredly have acted very wi ongly

The First Silk Mill In Etlgliinil.
A portion of tho old mill built by John
Loinbe at Derby in 1718—the first silk
mill ever erected in England—has col
(aimed, anil it is expected Unit tile whole
building will have to como down. Lomlic
worked as a silk weaver in Italy, and at
the risk of his life made drawings of the.
machinery. He then returned to Eng
land, bringing some Italian workmen,
and built the factory on an island in the
Derwent, having first patented ‘ the ma
chinery. He died soon afterward, and it
is said lie was poisoned by a female
emissary of tho Italian manufacturers.
The mill was worked for many years,
but lias long been in disuse. It was lust
utilized as a steam laundry, and wns
condemned some years since as being un
safe.— Galignaui Messenger.
Don't Show Your Collar Uutlau.
It is desirable that a cravat or four-in-
hand shonld be held firmly np against
the tabs of a collar. The collar button
never shonld be seen. With a cravat
this may be accomplished by drawing
the first knot firm. With a four-in-hand
it may be accomplished by first tying a
firm simple knot before making the four-
in-hand movement.—Clothier and Fnr-
