In the vessel shown in tha illustration four extra proposer wheels are located In recesses at tho ends of tho ships. These propeller wheels can be moved back and forth wllh the rtiCi'htJus. It la possible to operate all of the propellers simul taneously, one of the forward and no of the rear wheels being reversed In movement. Something Like Jumping. The bent story of a horse's Jumps which conies ti mind Is that of a California cowboy. He was taking steers to Teadvllle, and had camped for the night on Beaver River near Its junction w'th the Little Snake. In the mlddlo of the night something occurred to stampede the cattle. Thi man mounted his bronco and rode hither and thither on the flank of the herd until their fright had died away. Four or flv times the rider felt his horse give tremendous leaps, and with daybreak he discov ered the cause. The cattle had climbed to a level plateau which is Intersected by a canon four miles long and from fifteen hundred to two thousand feet deep. It3 walls incline toward each other at the top, where the distance is fifteen or twenty feet. In riding the man had kept the steers circling about the plateau. A dozen of them be found had fallen down the canon and been killed. Hoof marks showed him that the great jumps made by his horse were occasioned by the animal's clearing the canon each time It came to the taking spot. London Strand: Buying Land in Corea. Land buying in Corea Is a process which calls for both time and pa tience. A Japanese investigator who has been making inquiries on the subject has found that the price at which land may be procured differs greatly with the skill of the purchaser. Any hasty attempt to buy hurts the feelings of the owner and creates opposition. The bent plan is to select the dis trict on which one's fancy rests and either settle quietly down there or end an ugent to do bo Instead, letting it be known, In a general sort of way, that one Is disposed to buy. Then the Coreans, who class trans actions in land In the same category with the sale or purchase of movable chattels that is to say, as a mere means of procuring or spending money will of themselves come and offer to sell. Then, by the exercise of a little patience, a considerable tract may be very cheaply acquired in a few years. Suved Him From Disgrace. In one of the old families of Charles ton, S. C. writes Mrs. Ravencl, there was an important personage, Jack, the butler. Jack disputed with anoth er old man, Hurry, the butler of Mrs. Henry Izard, the reputation of being the best and most thoroughly trained servant In the town. On one occasion he was much an noyed when a Senator from the up country twice asked for rice with ills fish. To the first request he simply remained deaf; at the second he bent down and whispered Into the Sena torial ear. The genial gentleman nodded i and suppressed n laugh; but when the servants Imd left tho room he burst Into a roer and cried: "Judge, you have a treasure! Jack has saved me from dlsgrnee, from exposing my ig norance. Ho whispered. 'That wouldn't do, blr; we never eats rice witu fish.' " a. e rs o r. x a. .

Catching flBh, measuring and mark ing them and then returning them to tho sea with the chance of retaking cteiu later is part of the work car ried on by the Marine Biological Ass ociation of Great Ilrltaln. 15 y means of a steam trawlor thn firh are caught In the usual way. Piich haul Is carefully recorded, the Ibh are counted and measured and .(11 details of locality, time, number, neoies, sex and size are put down, together with accurate observation ui tho water, the depth rnd bottom of the sea, the kinds and quality of food available, &c. The. data are subsequently tabulate.l und charted. The method has been attended with valuable results. The Tiuh chiefly '.i-ed during the few years the experl mtnt has been In 1 rogrss have been I lulee, because tho proposals which have been made to Interfere with the 'atchlr.g of them were based on In adequate knowledge. The fish nre nmrited on the dorsal aurfnee with a very thin convex niet :1 disk bearing a number. This Is Attached to a fine ellver wire which ?s passed through the thinner part of the fish near the fin and secured on the under side by a small bone Duttou. The fish do not appear to suffer Inconvenience and their growth is not Interfered with in any way. The thoroughness with which the North Sea is swept by iho nets of '.he fishing fleets is demonstrate J, u.ys Discovery, by the foot that out cf 5,03 9 marked plaice of all sizes 1192 were recaptured within a year. This represents ID. 7 per cent., or nearly one-fifth; but for the medium i7ed fish the figures are far higher, ranging from 28.4 to 39 por cent, for the whole of the North Soa and to 4 3 per cent. In th? more northern portions. The men of th regular fishing fleet cooperate by forwarding to tho 'ahoratory of the rr soclatlon at Low istoft all the marked fish they catch At the laboratory reference to the lecords easily establishes how much the fish has gained In size end weight since the previous catching. More over, the distance between the spot where It was releaned and the place where It was again caught gives an idea as to its moviments. Germany's Labor Famine. Germany's labor famine, it is re ported, has become so acute that it has been found necessary to impress peasant girls into railway service as plate-layers and repairers. Oddity in Tombstones. A tombstone to bo erected in a Bath (England) cemetary to the me. mory of an engine-driver who was an ardent geologist, Is to be composed of tho fossils he collested in his rambles Carrying Army Drums. A curious custom connected with the Servian army is the manner in which most of the regiments carry the big drum. It is not, as in most countries, slung In front of the mac who plays it, but Is placed upon a small two-wheel cart drawn by a large dog, which has been bo trained that it keeps its place even through the longest and most tedious of marches. The drummer takes up a position behind the cart and per forms on the instrument. at It moves along. Honesty in War. A recent fight with brigands in Chalcldls resulted In the death of n soldier. The brigands sent $2,500 to his widow. Bush-rangers who held up a favorite Australian official, discovered later tho identity of their victim. They returned his horse, with his wallet tied about hla ner-k, and his money and watch Inside.

German Find They Cause lu Dis coloration mid Decay. Germany hns been looking Into the question why paper does not last forever, and has como to the conclu slon that Its decay is largely due to bacteria. They injure the texture and destry the color. The brownish spots which appear In old books and which are known to English bibliophiles an foxing are really due to the Bacterium prod glorum. This tiny destroyer Is es pecially fond of starchy media; and Us propagation Is promoted by damp. It has long been known that damn produced foxing, but the share of the microbe in the operntion hns not hitherto been suspected. Then there Is a tiny fungus or mould, renlclllluin glaneum. It is responsible for gray and black marks upon old papers and In spotting the surface it also helps to break down tho fabric and hasten the process of Its destruction. Thero are many other microscopic enemies of paper and they abound chiefly In those which are glazed with gelatine. Given a little mois- turo and a little heat and theso will multiply In tho surface of a picture or a diploma on highly finished paper Just as they would In the culture tube of a biologist. Several methods of fighting these bacteria are proposed. One is to substitlte for anlmnl clue in "i'! Ing fine paper glazes made from rosin. Theso, It Is said, give equally good results and totally defy the inva sion of microbes. It is nlso proposed to Introduced chemical agents In the manufacture of paper which are known to be fatal to microbes. This, however, involves many com plications. When the paper Is to bo used for water color painting and printing In colors, almost all chemicals aro barred as they are apt to combine with the pigments In tho course of time and completely destroy them But for ordinary writings pnpers, small quantities either of blchlorldo of mercury or of antiseptics of the carbolic clnss may be introduced with out Impairing the uso of paper for ordinary purposes, whether writing or printing, and at the same time rendering it proof against the ordin ary processors of decay. Fat of the Rubber (Jatherer. Very black 1b the picture of Kongo life drawn bv E. D. Morel. He Bays: "Out there in the forest, the broken man through the long and terrifying watches of the night what is his vista In life? Unending labor at the muzzle of tho Alblnl or the cap-gun; no pause, no rest. At the utmost, if his fortnightly toil of rubber is sufficient, if leaves and dirt have not mingled In too great proportion with the Juice, he may find that he has four or five days a month to spend among his house hold. If so, he will be lucky, for the vines are ever more difficult to And; the distance to travel from his village greater. Then tho rubber must be taken to tho white man's fine station, and any number of de lays may occur before the rubber worker may leave the station for his home. Four or five days' free dom per month that Is the very maximum he can expect. Five days to look after his own affairs, to be with his family, and always under the shadow of the sentry's rifle. But how often in the year will such good fortune attend him? "Shortage on one occasion only will entail the lash, or the chain and detention worse, perhaps, If the white man has a fever or an enlarged spleen that day. And If he flinches! If, starting from an uneasy sleep there In the forest, when shapes growing out of the darkness pro claim the rising of another dnv, hc. wakens to the knowledge that his basket Is half full, and that he uuiMt begin his homeward two days' march betimes not to miss the roll call, his heart falls him, and he turns his face away, plunging Into the forest, fleeing from his tormentors, seeking only one thing blindly to get away from his life and all that it means what will happen? "Well enough he knows. Has he not seen the process with his own eyes? Father, mother or wife will pay for the backsliding In the host age house. And whithor shall he flee? The forest with Its privations by day, its horrors by night. Thero he must live, seeking Buch nourish ment as roots and berries will afford. Could he gain some other village in the hope that It may bo a friendly one? But there the sentry will be also, and his doom as a deserter Is sure." Origin of "Whip Mag Day." St. Luke's Day Is also called Whip Dog Day In the almanacs, which refers ub to the quaint offices of dog whipper and sluggard waker, that used to held generally by one per son attached to every church. As late as 1857 there Is a record of one of these officials at Dunchurch, who, armed with a wand that had a fork at the end of It, used to go round tho church during sermon time and wake the sleepers by crooking It around their necks. Sometimes tho wand had a fox's brush at the other end. with which to arouse lady sleepers more courteously. In some places the whip for driving dogs out of church Is still preserved; and re cently the schoolboys had a custom of whipping the dogs out of the street on St. Luke's Day In a similar way. A curious entry in the Wako flold church accounts runs thus: "1708: For hatts, shoes and hoses, for sexton and dog whipper, 18s 6d." SECKKT OF GOOD HAIR TOO MUCH C.IRH AS IN.HRKHS AH NOT KXOIUII. I Continued Irritation of the Scalp Will Kill the llalr Follicles Shampoo Once in Three Week Sufficient. "Men get bald earlier than women for the simplo reason thnt they tako too much caro of the hair,", says a hair culturlst. But the truth Is that the modern woman especially tho society wo man Is beginning to get bald. Her temples are bare. And lu affright Bhe hns fled to the hair specialist 'o find out the cause. The hair special ist, If conscientious, will tell her tho truth. "You nre taking too much care of your hair," she will Bay. And when she has said that Bhe has told every thing. Hair Is a hard thing to kill. No thing will do It except continual Irri tation of the roots. "Moderation, madam," advised a halr-dresser, "and Just care enough!" The woman who la careful of her hair will be Bure to obsorvo curtain rules regarding it. Bhe will keep It clean. She will make It shine, mid she will also, If very dainty, want to perfumo her locks. She will want to dress her ha'.r becomingly. She will make It frame her face, for such Is the rule of fashion. The fastidious woman will want to make her hair a becoming tint. Of course she will not want to color or bleach It, but bho will tone It up by natural methods. Sha will make It bloom. If right In color she will perceive that It must "a waved. Light hair looks better cur ly, and It will stand a good deal In the matter of curls, waves, undula tions and klnklnoss generally. Dark hnlr, on the contrary, should bo worn straight, In ull but exceptional cases. Tho woman who la trying to mak? her hair becoming to her will soon realize that she must study her hen I and her face. If her nose Is long and fat Bhe must not do her hair up In u short, fat bunch at the back of the neck. She must suit her colffuro to her face. But this brings one to a question of hair-dressing, which comes after that of the care of tho head. Hair that Is properly cared for hns a very clean look, and it Is always glossy. A woman should shampoo her hair once In three weeks, and she should do It In such a manner that the dust is removed from the hair without taking out the naturul oils. If hair files after It has been washed, it is a sure sign that thi work has been done too thoroughly. Too much of the natural oil of the scalp was washed out. It Is Important to find a good shampoo mixture. There are many good ones to be purchased, but if a woman wants t make her own shampoo he can do so, but she must use a good soap. It is a very economical plan to save the bits of soap that are left from the soap dish, and when enough of these have accumulated they can be dried and powdered. This Is placed in hot water, in the proportion of half a cup of the soap to a pint of water. Add a table- spoonful of borax powder. When tha soap has melted, add three grains of quinine. To shampoo wot the head with warm water. The shampoo mixture Is rubbed into the hair and Is al lowed to remain there for five min utes. Rinsing should be done with a bath spray, and it should be very thorough. The hair should be wash ed until the water runs perfectly clear. If It Is Impossible to spray It, there should be nine rinsings of warm water, with a little borax pow der added to the last rinsing. Those who like an egg shampoo can take the yolks of two eggs and bee them up with half a cupful of soap Jelly. Into this Is put a lltfta borx, and the whole is ready to be ri')bed Into the scalp. It makes :t very soapy lather, and one whlca tho-oughly removes any superfluous oil that may be lu the hair. Them should then be a thorough rinsing. Send Your Cow, Sleer, ind Horse Hides, Calf.
