cirrrRE or a sea cow-
BECUTUNa A RARE AMTTRICAJI MOW.
ETF.R IN FLORIDA,
An Animal Which Is Little Known
AVhut tho Manatee LnoV.. Like
A Hunt fbr One.
A communication to the Cincinnati
Enquirer from St. Lucie bar, Florida
mvs: The Ft. Lucie rivrr is only ton
miM in lenpth. It is the shortest river
in Florida, if not in America, Certain
persons contend that it is merely a part
of Indian river. A small etreain is formed
from the waters that ooze from the
Halbntteeok Flats and rroadons ami
rlecpeus until it is navigable for small
boats, anil when it reaches St. Lucie bay
it is of quite respectable size. There is
something peculiar about this stream.
Alon? its banks plants are found which
are sought for in rain elsewhere, and the
Indians regard it with mysterious awe, so
that it might be with propriety called the
Ganges of the Peminoles. But the
characteristics which gives it such
importance in the eyes of the
hunter is that here alone is found
ths rare manatee, or American sea
cow. These animals were once quite
abundant in many parts of the extreme
South, but to-day the St. Lucie river is
the only locality where the manatee can
be looked for with any degree of cer
tainty. The high price p.iid for these
rare animals by naturalists a ud museums
induces many people in this region to
hunt them, and it was my pood fortune
recently to be present at the capture of a
1-irge one. It is a very difficult task, for
here is a creature whose like is not to be
found anywhere else in the world. There
is no more awkward, helpless or curious
animal. The head is broad, and the eyes
are completely hidden by heavy folds of
skin. The mouth is shaped very much
like that of a cow in every way but the
teeth. These are so long and sharp that
one might at first be led to believe that
they belonged to a carnivorous species.
Nevertheless, the sea cow is a strict vege
tarian and cats nothing but aquatic
plants. It has been asserted that its only
food is the manatee grass, which grows
in immense quantities in the St. Lucie
river. The grass has large, broad blades,
and is found in eight or ten feet of water,
growing on the bottom and extending to
the surface.
A fuli-srrown manatee should weigh
about 1,200 pounds, although one monster
was captured many years ago which
weighed 1,500 pounds. Such a one would
r- twelve feet in length and have a girth of
lour feet. They are provided with flip
pers about ten inches in length, and the
body diminishes into a large, fan-like tail
similar to the porpoise. The skin is black
and sparsely covered with short, black
hair. They move with considerable ra
pidity through the water, and although a
most clumsy-looking animal when on
land, they understand very well how to
conduct themselves in their native ele
ment. They possess, perhaps, the most
acute hearing of all animals. So delicate
and perfect is this sense in the manatee
that the sound of an oar, no matter how
carefully handled, will alarm them at a
distance of half a mile. It is a common
habit in Key West and other towns in
Southern Florida, in speaking of a man
whose hearing ii acute, to say that he
hears like a manatee. This is a wise dis
pensation of Providence, for the manatee
is lacking in almost every ordinary means
of self-defense. AVhen caught they never I
attempt to bite, and can in no way resent
the indignities offered by their captors.
Their flesh is excellent eating. The fat
test, juicest beef is by no means equal to
it. I
A hunter named Kelly, with two or three '
companions, recently started out on a
manatee hunt They had a large marlin
net and a wooden tank for the purpose of 1
keeping the animal alive should one be ;
caught. The spot selected was a cove
formed by a bend in the rive,-, where the !
water was twelve feet deep. The net, j
which was 300 feet long, was extended
between stakes set firmly in the bottom, I
and the hunters retired to their huts in i
the adjacent woods and patiently awaited ;
results. Two or three times a "day they ',
went down and inspected the net, but
nothing was to be seen except an occa
sional alligator, who beat a hasty retreat '
through the large meshes of the net as ;
soon as he perceived the danger he was j
in. A small rowboat was used in going i
to and from the net, which was about a 1
quarter of a mile from the shore. After
two weeks of waiting they were rewarded j
by seeing the floats bobbing about in a I
lively fashion. Excitedly, but with sure ;
movements, the men took a bundle of i
inch rope and set out for the captured 1
prize, who was creating quite a commo- !
tion ia the water, and tangling himself j
up beautifully in the relentiess meshes of
the marlin net.
The monster was soon tugged into shal-
low water. A combination of ropes and I
pulleys was arnunred, and he was draped
ashore. With his 1,200 pounds ho" was
by no means easily managed. lie was then
piaced in the tank, which was six by ten
fiet, and kept until a sloop arrived, which
conveyed the precious freight to Key
AVest. This was a male, and not long
r.go a female was caught. I do not know
where or to whom they were sold, or at
what p. ice. borne years ago P. T.
15.1' nuni puid 1,000 in gold fur a mana
tee of small size, and their extreme rarity
ut tne prr-ei!t time would cause them to
be valued ut perhaps three times as much.
The animal was kept for fully a week be
fore the sloop arrived, and I formed an
iiuim.iie acquaintance with the strange
creature. ForJ the first day or two he was
shy, but I commenced patting him on the
head, and when he saw that my intentions
were good our acquaintance ripened into
something like friendship. He opened his
mouth and devoured bananas, cab
bage leaves and delicate bits of
vegetables which I ojered him. During
t!io week the water in the Unk was
changed twice once with fresh uni once
with salt water; one is as goixi as the
oilier for the manatee. In days lon2 gone
by, the Seminole Indians, living in White
water bay, near Cape Sable, killed the
r.anutee, jerked the flesh, und sold it to
tui' Spaniards at a good price. Ten years
a.; the meat could be bought at fifty
ruts a pouud. There is liu doubt that
the luiij.iteo is rapidly becoming au ex
tluct animal. Like the dodo bird, w Lich
fl.iuri-.h'-d iu the East iu the middle ags,
butisno'.r exiiuct, the St a-cow wilhpas
out of existence, and will be looked Vton
a few centuries hence as a contrctitv.

An Adding Machine.
C. G. Spalding, who keeps books for
Dsy & Johnson, says the Springfield
(Mass.) IirpiMican, has perfected a ma
chine that is designed to aid brother
bookkeepers and accountants in running
up long lines of figures. He has been at
work on the invention since 1ST;, and
had the thing patented something like a
year ago. The machine is encased in a
wooden box about eight inches square
and three inches deep, and, lifting the
cover, the interior is seen to hold an en
ameled white surface, on which are two
dials, and which shows the brass key
board in the lower left hand corner. The
larger dial of the two is on the left of
the machine, and is divided into 100 sec
tions. The rim of the smaller dial is
likewise cut into twenty sections. The
first dial is called the unit pointer. That
which moves about the pointer. A little
finger play on the brass keyboard makes
the object of the dials and the reason of
the pointer's names quickly understood.
The nine keys on the board are num
bered from one to nine and are placed in
regular order, but also in two rows, two,
four, six and eight bein? above and the
odd numbers below. The key is a brass
upright, and as the finger draws on it a
spring allows it to slip back toward the
lower end of the box. The pulling of
each key on the board sends the unit
pointing along on its journey around the
dial as many points as there are units in
the number of the key. Pull the nine
key and the dial set at naught goes to nine.
Pull the same key again and the unit
pointer moves to eighteen. Pull the one,
two and three keys now and the pointer
goes consecutively with a hop, skip and
jump to twenty-four. When the unit
pointer, keeping up its agile athletics, has
reached its starting point aain, there is a
quick little motion on the ritrht hand dial.
The pointer then has "dotted and gone
one." The machine's internal clockwork
is more accurate than a human head can
hope to be. It isn't troubled with mala
ria, nor is it ever larcrer in the morning
than it was the night before. All the
accountant has to do is to ' run his
eye up and down the columns, pulling each
respective key as ho reaches the corre
sponding figure. A day is sufficient ia
which to learn the key-board, and the
motion of the hand quickly becomes al
most involuntary. The expert can run
the figures ia the head and on the key
board simultaneously, thus "proving"'
his work by one trip up or down the col
umn. Carrying is performed by setting
the pointer at the number to be carried.
To set the unit pointer all that is neces
sary is to hold down k-y 1 and turn the
pointer forward to a number one less than
the one carried. On releasing key 1 th?
pointer is on the desired number. The
hundred pointer can be moved ia either
direction. The hand easily operates the
nine keys thus: Xos. 1, 2 and 3 with
the first fingr,4 an 1 5 with the second,
6 and 7 wita the third, 8 and 9 with the
fourth. The inventor claims for the ma
chine unerring accuracy and surpri-ing
rapidity. He says an expert can add 2 10
figures a minute with it.
Tipping the Waiter.
Speaking of tips, the other evening I
supped at the tii. James with an old
friend from California, a prodigal and a
bon vivant. The change brought by the
: obese an 1 well greased waiter consisted
' of a five-dollar bill and two dimes. My
'i host lifted the bill, and the waiter, with
i an insolence as magnificent as it was
I original, took the dimes from the salver,
j laid them on the cloth and departed with
j an undisguised shruir. A twenty-cent
tip for a ten-dollar check was not enough
i for him. My Eldorad in friend smiL-d
and glinted at me in his palm a silver
! dollar which he had drawn from his
.pocket. We went out, he rattling th ;
dimes ;and the dollar as he went. At
the door a miserable urchin was vending
the stray remnants of his st.x-k of even-
tug papers. My friend took them
j in bulk, dropped the three silver pii.c s
into ins tiituy paw, and as we walked
down Broadway tore up the papers acl
scattered the fragments iato the street.
When the last strips had fluttered oil, he
said solemnly.
"I'm blessed if I ever give a waiter a
tip again! Have you any tire r"
But is it, after all, the fault of the
waiter whom our prodigals sp:i that he
refuses to devour huksf Oae even
ing I was taiking to Siro Delmotiico il.-n
I noticed a yeuugtcr at the net table,
who had had half a dollar' worth of
brandy, leave the thauga of a two-dollar
liote i-jt the waiter.
"He did not have to earn that money,"
said Delutoiiico, grimly.
Delmonieohimsilf never tipped a waiter.
Neither, by the way, did A. T. Stewart.
