An effort is being made to make Key- West a coaling station for vessels plying in the waters of the Gulf. The Board of Pilot Commissioners of that place are considering (he matter of reducing one half the pilotage fees for sieamers call ing there for coal or supplies. If Key M est becomes the coaling station it is claimed that it would save time for ves sels bound across which now call at Nor folk or Newport News for bunker supply. The Raddatz submarine boat has re cently been tested at Milwaukee. Wis The boat is sixty-five feet long and four feet in diameter at the middle, and ta pers to a point at each end. Near the extremities are two conning towers, each about twenty inches in diameter. When going on the surface, power is furnished by a ten horse-power oil engine, which gives the vessel a speed of six to seven miles per hour. The boat is driven under water by an electric motor supplied from sixty-two storage cells and attains a speed when submerged of four to four and a half miles per hour. The nature of the controling mechanism has not yet been made public. It is said that the boat will Sink to forty feet, which is as far as it has been tested, In from thirty to forty seconds. It does not dive nor slant when descending or rising. The boat carries a supply of compressed air and ahs an apparatus for purifying the air contained in the interior while under water. It is stated that three men could easily remain beneath the surface for eight hours. It Is the intention of tho builders to construct a larger boat in the near future. Earnings of the shipping of the nations of the world for the year 1897 Is placed by Michael Mulhall, the statistiean, as follows: Great Britain, fSS,BTX).OQf*; Ger many. £8,309,000; Austria, £1,400,000; Sweden. £2,100,000; Denmark, £1.500,000; Belgium, £700.000; United States, £3,200.000; Australia, £1,800,(00; France, £4.800,000; Russia, £3,(00.- 000; Italy, £2,900,000; Portugal. £400,000; Nor way, £5,000,000; Holland. £1,700.000; Greece. £1,200,000; Canada, £3,400,000. Thl* makes a total for the world of 1101,800,000. of which £93,400.000 Is credited to the Euro* pean countries. The earnings of British shipping interests represent more than one-half of the total. A speed of forty-thrpe miles an hour tvas attained recently by an English tor pedo boat destroyer propelled by a tur bine of the Parsons type, says an ex change. The vessel is 210 feat long, 21 feet beam, and 7 feet draft and requires 12,000 horse-power to go at Its best speed There is little or no vibration. The turbine de vice is less bulky than the ordinary steam engine and allows more space for tjie crew. The Bmish government is Intro ducing the turbine in its fleet and hopes to gain an advantage by Its use. While that, government seeks to get over the water fast, the French government la putting Its money Into fast subaqueous boats. The steamship Empress (Br), due Sept. 20 to load for Havre and Rotterdam, has been posted at the Cotton Exchange. The American bark Essex arrived at quarantine yesterday from St. Johns, Porto Rico.

The Giant's Fancy for Gunulnfc and How It Wan Turned to Account. From the New York Sun. “The greatest of all giants,” sakl Ihe Old circus man, “did dearly love to go gunning; and the old man indulged him in this sport whenever he could. He iM this partly to please the giant, and partly for the sake of the advertising we used to get out of it. When he w’as making a dicker, in advance, for the grounds where wo were ging to show', or paying the first selectman of the town for the license, he would Just casually ask if there any good gunning around there, and when they told him there was squirrel 'r quail or whatever it might be. the old man would sny that the biggest man hi he show was very fond of shooting, end he would like it if. w'hen the show came along, somebody there in the town would go out with him for an hour or two. Of course they'd say they’d have some body do that, and they would have; and when this mart, waiting nt some agreed upon po*int, to take our man out, saw th giant coming with his gun. he never fail ed to be a very much eurprised commu nity, and well he might be. “I have never yet told you how tall the great giant was. What’s the use; you wouldn’t believe it if I did. and so thcre’>* no use of my felling how big his gun was In feet and inches, but in a gener.l way I might say that it was a double barrelled shotgun with barrels about ns big around and about as long os telograph poles, with stock nnd everything else in proportion. Well, now, you know r w'hen the great giant turned up with that sort of a gun on his shoulder, followed by a wagon loaded with they didn’t know what, though maybe they might hove guessed, the whole town would begin to gather, and from that minute there’*! be a great crowd following all the time to see the giant shoot. And he wasn’t the worst shot that ever came down the pike, eith er. "Of course, the gun the townsman was carrying only made the glant’sgun lookall the bigger, ond, of course, the townsman didn't do any shooting himself. When he saw the ginnt and his gun he simply did what every one else did—he watched the big man shoot. He and the great crowd following would climb and scramble the best way they could over stone wails and fences tha.t the giant would step over without scarcely lifting his feet more than he ordinarily would in walking, and when the giant got a sight at anything he would raise his gun slid fire, and, my goodness: it sounded like a cannon or like a blast. "There Is where the old man used 4o work In a little more of the advertising. Of course, the giant could have carried his own ammunition and loaded his own gun ns well as anybody could, and that’s what he would have profererd to do. hut It cost about SI.BO for every shot he fired. You see, it took about a pound and a half of powdi r for a charge for each bar rel and about three pints of shot, and the old mnn was bound to get this buck and something out of it besides If he could, und that's why we used to have that wagon to carry the ammunßton, and we not only carried the ammunition so, but we carried a couple of men along to load the giant's gun. "If the giant was In a field, for Instance, and there were trees near him, we'd get him to stand the gun up against a tree. Then one of those two men would climb the tree to the level of the muzzle of the gun. with the charge of powder; she waa a muzzle-loader, you understand; they didn't have breech-loaders In those daya so much. And while he was doing thl* the other loader would be climbing higher In the tree, and he would receive and steady the upper end of the ramrod as It was passed up to him by the man at the muz zle. and help to ram the load down. "If the giant was near some fence or stone wall by the road when he fired, they'd get him to lay the gun down with the butt on the ground and the barrels testing on the top of the fence, with the muzzle up In the air, out over the road. Then they’d drive the ammunition wagon under that, and load right from the wag on. They had In the wagon st the for ward end a skeleton tower, something like the tall framework they have on the wag on* used nowaday* by linemen repairing overhead trolleys, and the man used to simply climb up on that to reach the muz zle of the gun. Then, when you came to ramming tn the wad. there was a tele scopic section to the skeleton lower and we just had to raise that and move the wagon off a little and the man that rammed In the wad stood on that with Ilia outer end of the ramrod. Then as he rammed the wad home we U drive the Plant System. of Railways.
