How Our Sea Coaata Are Pro vided with Roscuers. ThouitniU of Shipu reeked I'eraona Sated from 1F4 iiin. Iiy the llarly Meu A ho Are Cirr on the Watch. At the late session, says the Youth's 'oiipaiiion. ei ingress a.l.lc.l twontonths to the yearly term or employ inent of Lhe men in the lifo-suving si-rviee who are stutioiidl along the Atlantic ami gulf coasts: ami hereafter the men at these stations will le on iluty from the 1st of each August to the 1st of the next .1 tine, instead of from ScptcmWr to May. as was formerly the ease. This step was taken for the reason that, as a general rule, destructive sea storms are not apprehended in summer, in the regions named some of the most furious gales occurring in the months of May and August. On the New Kng land coast, in particular, the "August rail's" are exjiected annually ami are greatly feared. The life-saving service Wlongs to the treasury department. Its otliccrs and in.li are nearly sill practical sea men: all are of mature age. and all are picked men. tit ted by exceptional physique and ly mental and moral qualities for the business of saving lives from vessels wrecked in storms. Creat care is exercised in choosing them, ami the service has Wen kept so free from vlitical in.'luciicc that no sus picion of partisanship has ever at 'ached to it. The stations of the service arc placed in exposed : 'dilutions where wrecks are most likely to occur. For this r-a..on they are scattered very unevenly over i hi r coasts. In 1 :;.: there were only twelve sta tions on the entire Pacific coast and t here were two on the little island of Nantucket. On the Atlantic and Culf coast there were one hundred and eighty, and there were fifty on the shores of the great lakes: while there is one on an interior river at the falls of the Ohio, near Louisville. Kach station consists of a little house where the men live and a boat-house where the surf-lHiats are kept. The men are constantly exercised in the handling and launching of these boats. They must patrol the leach for long distances in storms, and they lead any thing but an idle life. Cutler the new arrangement for ten months of service a year, the surfiuen are to receive sixty dollars a month each, and out of this sum they must feed themselves. They lead lives of isolation and often of hardship, and are expected in an emergency to show, and always have shown, the highest quali ties of heroism. Since the service was established in lsTl. it has rescued from wrecked ves sels more than ten thousand jhtsoiis, and saved ninety millions of dollars worth of property. All this good is lone at an exeiisc to the government of little more than a million and a quarter dollars a year but an iiisiir niticant fraction ot the amount v Inch the government yearly pays for appli ances intended to destroy life in w ar fa re. The life-saving service is one of the branches of the government in the sui port of which all men and parties may cooperate without substantial disa greement. Not only is direct good done by it in the saving of life and property, but indirect good, of imMr tance in the building up of character, by the cultivation of heroism and sclf-s-Hcrilice through the example of the deeds done every year by these brave surf men. The service is still inadequate. Many oiiits on t he coasts of our oceans an. I great lakes are unguarded where wrecks are likely to occur. Hut in its present state the life-saving service is a brilliant example to other peoples. TOWN REFUSE AS FUEL. Keault of Kierinieutrt with a I'urnaee at Halifax. Kligland. Kxperiinents in seeking to utilize the refuse of towns as fuel have lcen Car rie., so far that a plant, known as the Livct plant, has lieen set up in Halifax', Fiigland. with which it is expected to supply electric energy. The success ful working of the Livet furnace, says the Popular Science Monthly, appears to deH-ml upon the H-culiar construc tion of its Hues, which are so built as to utilize the effect of the decreasing volume of the gases of combustion traveling toward the chimney, so pro moting a high velocity to the air pass ing through the furnace bars and pro ducing rapid combustion vv ith intense heat. At the same time the effect of this H-culiarity of construction is to cause the gases themselves to move slowly through the Hues so that they may part with their useful heat liefore escaping into the atmosphere. The force of draught at the furnace is such that a high and constant temperament is obtained and efficiency of combus tion insured, while all unpleasant odois inherent in town garbage are tle str. lycd. As an example of the heat economy effected. it is said that whereas in previous generators the In-st results ever obtained have been three-quarters of a pound of water evajxirated on the combustion of one jx.uinl of refuse, in the Livet generator over three ix.iiii.l-; of water are evaporated into steam for everv pound tif refuse consumed, in spite of the fact that it is frequently known to contain twenty kt cent, of moisture. The tenqierature of the gases just In-fore entering the chimney is stated to lie from three to four hun dred dcrgrccs Fahrenheit lower than hitherto obtained. The progression of the cases is partially arrested at lnith ends of each flue for the purpose of H-rmitting them tt tleMsit the con tained light dust in suitable expansion chauilicrs or pits, which can Ik cleaned out when desirable. This arrange ments serves totiverome the objection able dust, whicn in ordinary 'destruc tors" tends to choke the Hues and im pregnate the air of the surrounding districts.

HRlr.HT .lOKPR I Attractive Featnrett Proponed for the I'ni vernal Show in 1 !. I Already lliev appear to lie commenc ing preparations for the exposition of lyim in Paris. It would strike Amer icans that the introduction of electric ity for general lighting had not made that progress one would expect there, l'ut this season, says the Philadelphia Telegraph, the way in which a nuiulicr of streets have tieen torn tip to put in electric cables, shows that when the exposition is open all Paris will le brighter than ever by night. And now everyone who gives thought to the coming show is racking his brains to find something to distinguish the com ing from the preceding shows. Among these has lieen proposed by the Petit Journal a scheme which it is thought will lie particularly interesting to the children, and everyone knows how at tractive that is to grown jieople, al though they may not Ik; willing to ad mit it. It has lcen suggested by Ar Hiand I ayot, inspector of tine arts, to unite with the exposition of Hum the garden of the Tuileries. which latter is to le exclusively reserved for juvenile attractions, to lie a sort of children's paradise, quite apart from the amuse ments ami distractions of the grown jicoplc. There will lie no lack of vari ety to give success to the idea. There will lie interesting museums of chil dren's toys, rctrosjicctive collections of dolls, where the crude terra eotta darl ing which the blind Nidia of Pompeii may have carried may look from the far end of the line down to her t'm-.le-siecle distant relative in gorgeous Paris dressing and capable of singing an entire song in a squeaky, grat ing phonograph falsetto: Then there will lie panoramas and dioramas in min iature, to lie decorated by such artists as Potitet de Monvcl and Kate Crcen away. Punch ami .ludy shows in all their variety and nationality, from all corners of the world ami of all periods, from the Chignot of the classic period to the marionettes of lloulogne. ami the Karaguez of Constantinople, all displaying the antics of the same old 'Polichiiielle." eternally raging to the intense amusement of the children. There are to be children's balls and pony cavalcades under the trees, and under cover a sort of wax works show ing children of genius in their early days: such as Lulli. Mozart. Ciotto. Yiviana. Canova ami that astonishing Henry de I leiiieckcn. w ho at the age of two years stiokc three languages while yet in his nurse's arms, ami could speak a piece in Latin also. It is to lie hoH-d that baby king of Spain w ill send his baby regiment, and. although they are Spanish soldiers, they may lie allowed by the French government to show their drill in the garden. That the coming men and women have had no place, nothing suitable for their capabilities, in for mer exhibit ions must Ik- at-km wlcdged: and that such a display, oupled wit ha retrosjiect ive exhibition ef educational methods, will make the whole atfair immensely attractive to both young and old. no one will doubt.

"The robWry of the keg of gold that was shipped to French bankers from Xew Ytirk tin the steamer l-i Touraine, and the loss of w hich was not discov ered until the rest of the consignment reached its destination." said Henry T. Cranmer, tif St. Iouis. to a Xew York Keeorder man recently, "reminds me tif the loss of a money package once by the Wclls-Fargo Express company on the Northern Pacific mad. ISetweeii seven and eight thousand dollars Lu bills were sent by a tIeMisittir tif Tom ("ruse's banking house in Helena, Mont., to a corrcsiMiiident in St. Louis. The liackage was placed in the express safe, together with other valuable bundles, ami when Omaha was reached where a transfer of the stuff was made, the parcel tif bills was missing. An in vestigation resulted and the express messenger was arrested. He insisted that he was iniKK-etit and could not ac count for the loss. His guilt apM-ared to Ik- so palable that every means known outside of priK-esses tif the in quisition was used in an attempt to make him make a confession, but without avail. He was sent to the eiiitentiary for two years, and prt testetl his iniiix-eiice as vehemently when he came out as he did when he went in. Seven or eight months after the messenger was releasod the North ern Pacific company decided to change the numerous small trestles along its main stem into culverts. A party of surveyors were making the preliminary measurement of such work and when the axeman was clearing away some tin. lert. rush at the side of a small creek tme day, so the surveyor could operate his level, he picked up a mildewed package that had evidently Wen lost from a passing train on the road. Without taking into considera tion the express company's laWls and seals, which even long exposure had not effaced from the bundle, the sur vering party opened it. and there was the long-missing money that hail Wen sent from Helena to St. Louis. The facts were rexirted. and another inves tigation was put on f.xit. with a view of relieving the express messenger from the suspicion that still clung to him. He was informed tif the discov ery of the money and requested to make some explanation tif its loss, lb still insisted that he had nothing to do with the hiss of the package and knew nothing of it. He said that he had re eeiveil the safe from the company in Helena and had kept it in the condi tion in which it was given to him un til they reached Omaha. He remem Wred. however, that another Wclls Fargo man. who had Wen sent down the road from Helena to meet a ear. was in the express car, while it was running near the xiint where the package was discov ered. This man had Wen promoted to quite a prominent jx. sit ion in one of the Wclls-Fargo districts and was im mediately charged with Wing responsi ble for the loss of the package. When pushed into a corner he confessed that he had used his knowledge of the com bination of the safe and had stolen the package and thrown it out tif the d.x.r tif the cur after oH-ning the safe, and he naively remarked that he had sjN-nt six mouths liMiking for it without suc cess. Only jxiwerful friends prevented his prosecution and conviction. It may Ik- said, however, that he tiki as far as he was financially able to reimburse the messenger who had suffered for his crime, and that the latter was given a Wtter place than he had held Ik-fore by the express company.

Two sets of advice were given me as to how to act w hwti the big guns were tired. Old exH-rieiiced seamen can stand the shock by raising on their toes the moment the word is given to fire. The majority tif jK-ople, however, find it necessary, in tinier to preserve their ear drums from H'rfora tion. to lie down, resting most of the weight on their hands and tn-s. Even with this precaution the sensation is most unpleasant until one gets used to it. Even with the coinpara' ively small guns in general use in our navy, the concussion on Ward a ship when a shot is fired is very annoying, but the enormous guns used so generally in European navies are a source of terrible danger to the crew as well as the enemy, and 1 doubt if they could possibly W used in a hand-to-hand en counter, useful as they are for destroy ing distant lxirts. ELECTRIC ELEVATORS. They Are Not Only Signaled. Itut Started and Stopped by the I.lifhtnlna; Fluid. There is a vast difference W-tween the latest jierfected elevator and the elevator of a few years ago. says the Xew York Mail and Express. The electric elevator is the latest. The passenger signals it by a teleseme. as the appliance is called by which he presses a button laWled "Take me up" tir "take me down." as may lie. in response to which a faint buzzing in the car tif the conductor tif each car, whether there are two or half a dozen, draws his attention to an indicator that shows on what tltmr the passenger is and which way he wants to go. The first car to pass that floor going his way takes him. 15ut the most novel point is that electricity is also used iu running the cars. The conductor dtn-s not pull a steel cable nor grasp a handle as big as the reverse liar tif a locomotive. He presses a "button anil the elevator rushes up. another button and it de scends, a third and it stops.

The My.terlou. formation Seen on the l'arllic t'ol. The mystery of the strange bark that three ship captains have reported stranded on a reef fifteen miles west of the Straits of Le Maire. with all ma-ts and rigging standing, seems tti lie solved. A few days ago. says the San FranciscoCall.a vessel reached Ixlnon and reported having passed within a short distance of the deserted bark, and interest was renewed in the thrice-reported stranded vessel. All agreed in saying it was an iron ship, and most likely of (leniian construction. It was bark rigged, and had black painted portholes. Shipping and insurance men have Wen trying to determine the name of the wrecked bark, but without success. Xo vessel of its description should Ik- anywhere in the vicinity tif the Horn, and none is overdue at any nirt that would pass within thousands of miles of the spot It is not likely that it could W taken for the Crown tif Italy, which ran on a reef in the Straits of Le Maire alxiut two and a half years ago. It was a full-rigged ship, and when it struck most tif her masts wnt by the Ixianl. A few days afterward the sea was strewn with wreckage, and nothing was again seen of the w reck. A few days ag-i the ISritish ship. Cedrie the Saxon, arrived in jmrt from Swansea, and it passed close to the spot where the mysterious bark has Ik-cii seen. Capt. Pees tells a story which further complicates matters, lie says th. so called bark is nothing but a rM-k. al though its resemblance to a ship is so striking that he made an entry in his log to the effect that a ship was strand Ail, w ith all the rigging intact. He says that lie wm mil fifteen miles when he first saw it, and was sure it was a wreck. As he approached it he found it was a huge rK-k sticking out of the water. It was only alxmt half a mile away, but even then its resemblance to a bark with painted ports was so striking that all hands had to W ca Ileal for an opin ion. The puzzle to the sea captains who have rounded the Horn dozens of times is that the strange nick has nev er been seen liefore. GENTLEMAN BROWN. A Henevolent I loif Who C ared for III. arrant Itrothent. Hrown was simply a lartre dog. who was so strong, so fearless, so intelli gent, and so active in affair- that he was considered the champion of tin town. He could thra-h any dog round alxmt and always did it when it was necessary.

'no day he brought a specially bad specimen home with him. lie came into the house ami into the tlining r.x.iu. where the family were at dinner, the wretched little tramp dog at his heels. He 1.x .ked up at his master, wagged his tail, asking for something to eat. A plate of f.xxl was set down and the little dog snatched at it ravenously. lSrown seemed to think that was all right. When the little dog was through he asked for another plateful and had his ow n dinner. He kept the little dog f..r quite awhile, always permitting him to t at first. At night he t.x.k the dog into his kennel, himself sleeping t n the outside. He was not at all intimate with the dog. treating him as a visitor. nt at any time as a friend. The tramp final ly went on his way. strong and well, and as plump and sleek as any dog need Ik. What was said W-tween these two tlogs. lxith at meeting and parting, would W very interesting i know.

The tramp, whom the lady of the house had admitted to the kitchen table and was giving a dinner of her ow n ct.iking. was such a pleasant-l.x ik ing fellow that she Wcame quite inter ested in him.

"Ah. 1 thought so. You have seen W-tter days, then?" He looked at the fine piece of pie and big glass of cold milk she set down on the table for him to finish on. and laid down his knife and fork. "If you mean by Wtter days, madam." he said, "that I have not al ways Ik-cii a tramp. I will reply 'Yes." but if you mean by Wtter days that I have ever had pleasantt-r surroundings than the present, or that I have sur rounded plcasantcr things." and he blushed.

Oermany has for y ears xissesscd the most efficient pigeon service iu Europe. At Strasburg there are six hundred birds, at Mctz six hundred, at Thorn one thousand, and they are kept by the hundreds at other centers, such as Mainz. Cologne Kit-land Danzig. The whole frontier is connected by pigeon post with the military headquarters and with towns in the interior. The service is supported by an appropria tion tif alxiut nine thousand dollars a year. The practical use of the pigeon post was fully demonstrated at the siege of Paris in 1711. Since then it has Wt-omc a recognized part of the military organization of all European countries except Creat P.ritain. Russia has now on her Polish frontier alone three thousand birds, and appropriates yearly ten thousand dollars for pig eons. The French appropriation is twice as large. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCES.
