HAPPIEST OF MANY ISLES. LIFE ON THE SUGAR CANE ISLAND OF BARBADOES. Genuity of tlie Population A Healthy Fi nancial Condition FnnlMiuini Who .Meet Tlicr# —Hospitality and General Good Nature of the People. The Barbadian,from a variety of causes, political principally, has developed a com mercial activity greater than has so far appeared possible in the other of those islands. His island has become the dis tributing point of the region, and lias, in consequence, attracted and held together a population larger, proportionately, than any of flic other islands. The streets of the capital are alive with bustling trades, her buildings bear evidence that land is valuable, her roadstead is alive with for eign shipping, and the annual addition to her population appears to go hand ill hand with the increase of her material pros perity, while other islands, notably St. Lucia, have been sacked anil pillaged for 150 years prior to the opening of this cen tury, conquered first by one power and then by the other. Barbadoes has, since 1625, developed as peacefully and nor mally as New England, and is today, in spite of tlio low price of cane sugar, one of the happiest little countries in tlio world. FOIt MALTHUSIANISTS. Barbadoes lias only 106,000 acres on which to support a population of nearly 172,000, giving only one square mile of elbow room to each 1,000 inhabitants—a state of density that should reassure the most pessimistic Chinaman of Malthu sian disposition. .She raises nearly sl,- 000,000 u year in revenue, lias a public debt of only $150,000, lias qbout SIOO,OOO in her savings batiks, has a good water supply and complete constitutional lib erty. Could any man want more? And yet her chief port is a mere open road stead; nor does she differ materially from the other Caribbean islands in climate or soil. It is tho one island ot the \\ est Indies that has the appearance of belonging to England; not only by tlio presence of British men-of-war in the roadstead and British soldiers about the streets of Bridgetown, but from the fact that tho English people here control local affairs, take a pride in identifying themselves with the colony, and by their geograph ical situation an? the center of the best English social life in this quarter of the globe. The Royal Mail steamer fr'- 1 Jamaica to Sout tomMSf Et " op ;it •fiarbadoes long enough to refresh body and mind in the society of fellow coun trymen. From Barbadoes ply tho smal ler connecting steamers that distribute passengers to the neighboring islands as far north as St. Thomas and south to Demerara. The governor of the island unites in his drawing room—or, to speak more accurately, on his lawn tennis courts —Englishmen from every corner of the queen's dominions whose ways cross at this little point. If the Bar badian does not keep up with the last fad from l'iccadilly it is merely because he cannot or will not appear at Govern ment house. ENGLISHMAN FEEL AT HOME. In other islands of the Caribbcc group tlie exiled Briton broods in misery sur rounded hy a moh of hopelessly unintel ligent blacks. Ilere, on the other hand, his beloved ensign greets him at every turn, assuring hint that he is on soil that is English more than merely in name. The governor's residence, known as gov ernment house, is in a handsome park approached by an avenue of grand trees, guarded by a sentry at the lodge gate and by very majestic household func tionaries at the hall door. Visitors in scribe their names in a book kept for that purpose, and nothing is omitted to impress them with t lie fact that they are here dealing with the representative of royalty. But government house in the British West Indies is more than a for mal official residence. The governor is expected, if not to govern, at least to be an important factor in the political and social lifeof the island; he is to be a man above party, able to unite under his roof the leading people of the place; to medi ate between the crown and tlio people. His wife, 011 the other hand, is expected to be the pattern of good breeding, the arbiter on all social points, assisting her husband in making Government house a colonial court. To do all this the government allows $3,000 a year for entertainment alone, $15,000 a year as salary besides his resi dence, handsomely furnished, represent ing for this little island about double what is furnished to the United States minister to England. When my rickety conveyance drew up before the great en trance of the Barbadian palace I handed to one of the resplendent servants a let ter of introduction and then proceeded to write my name in the visitors' book. Before I had completed this important task the illustrious footman returned, and, with Mime appearance of having made more haste than usual, showed me into a large, shady, cool morning room, where the "first lady of Barba dos i" ami .Sir Charles Lees, the governor, bade me welcome. AT II!.; GOVEU.V.ILNT HOUSE. The lawn of Government house stretches away from the open doors and windows to the shade of graceful trees. When I arrived tennis was well under way. lv ably, well built men and grace ful women, ail i.i comfortable llunnels, were struggling for success with a vigor not read.ly .. ,ciao d with the tropics. Officers from the squadron us well as from the local garrison vied with one another in cnt< running all such as wore petticoats, while groups of very impor tant looking men chatted together here and there made up, it was plain to see, of iocal officials. The governor and Lady Lo: a lost no opportunity of adding to the pleasure of their guests either by saying a few words of welcome to a new arrival or introducing those who ap peared tortured by the know nobody feeling. The black chief justice of the island was away on official duties, much to my regret. Officially he holds a roost exalted post and receives the highest honors; socially he cannot enter the dining room of the meanest white trader. Consequently we have the comical pict ure of a negro ostracized by the poorest white clerk, yet a frequent guest of the first lady of the island—not merely on her lawn, but at her table. The attorney general, bv the way, told me many tilings about the negro that confirmed ray suspicion that in spite of centuries of Christian rule devil worship was a fact in most of the islands, and even here under the eyes of an American bishop.—Barbadoes Letter in New York Times. A Mini ivltli n I.nrlat. A man was found nearly buried in the sand near San Francisco. Two deputy coroners could not pull liiin out. A horseman was sighted. This is what happened: lie rode up to them, and when the situation was explained, calm ly alighted, untied a long lariat which was coiled at the back of his saddle, and without a word began to make one end of it fast about the upper portion of the dead man's body. The rope was passed under the arms and tied in a knot at the shoulders. Having accomplished this the stranger paused, and looked up at the astonished morgue officials as much as to say: "What's the matter with that?" "What are you going to do next?" asked the deputy coroner. "Do? Why. I'm going to pull him out." "Well, you might us well give up that idea," returned the deputy. "It would take half a dozen men like tis to move that man." "Maybe it would," replied the stran ger, with a chuckle that was certainly a little out of place, considering the oc casion; "maybe it would take a dozen men such as we are, hut it will only take one horse such as this is." As ho said this ho pointed to his steed, which had hitherto stood motionless, watching tho movements of his master with evident interest. Without more ado the stranger mounted his horse, and taking a turn around the horn of his saddle with the free end of the lasso, moved slowly ahead until the line was drawn taut. Then, in response to a gentle cluck from his rider, the animal settled his feet down into tho sand and steadily bent his strength against tlio rope. There was no jerking- ' It was an even, steady „,.ii Tne line vibrated rapidly under the heavy strain as the intelligent equine hauled away upon it. In a moment the looji tightened about the corpse, and the body was drawn, slowly at first, then with a swish, from its bed in the sand. Having accomplished this the mysteri ous horseman removed t he loop from the body, recoiled his lariat, mounted his horse, and, after saluting the wondering officials in a highly dignilied manner, rode silently away, no one knew whither. —San Francisco Chronicle. A l-'uiiornl from tlio Tenement*. A funeral in a crowded east side street! From every window in the giant tene ments human heads are thrust, in every doorway is a group of women, and clus tered on every hand are little knots of children, whose peaked faces is stamped tlio desire to lose no portion of what is going on. Stretched along the curb is a long string of coaches, headed by a hearse decked out in all the trap pings of woe. Tho drivers, a brawny set of men, used to such scenes, stand to gether idly talking. In the mouth of one of the tenements stand a dozen women. "She must be heart broken," said one. "Indeed she must," said another, "or she'd never have spent so much money," "It'll cost a heap to pay for such a beautiful funeral." "And she hasn't a cent, poor thing. She'll have to work her fingers to the bone to pay for it." "And the poor children; wliat'll they do?' There is a clatter of heavy footsteps on the stairs, and a rosewood casket comes bumping down on the shoulders of six struggling men. It is rolled into the hearse, which moves slotvly away, and the first coach takes its place. A wild shrill cry, half a moan aud half a shriek of pain, is heard, and out comes the widow, a gaunt faced woman of middle ago. She sways her body to and fro, and rubs her eyes viciously with her handkerchief. A crowd gathers around her, and she is bustled out of sight into the coach with three other women in rusty black clothes. A little boy in well worn knickerbockers climbs up in the driver's seat and thero graciously recog nizes a crowd of little chaps on tiie side walk, who gaze at him with envious eyes. . "Are ye goin' to ride up there, Dinny?" asked one. "Of course," was the reply; "ain't it me fodder's funeral?" And the somber procession moved slowly away.—New York Sun. •SiilVty l'ilnt for Hallway Trains.

ME FISK RANGE FINDER. INVENTION OF VALUE TO THE j UNITED STATES NAVY. . American Naval Suceew* hi 1813-14 Was Due Solely to Superior Mamiliug of Ibe ! fiuint. and Tliin Wan Due to Clone Eitl mat.'* of Itanue —British Improvement*. Authorities are quite generally agreed that in the war of 1812 the great source of our success was undoubt edly the superior management and direction of our guns, and that tho Eng- j iish and other governments were satis fied of this is sufficiently proved by the careful attention they have since con tinued to bestow upon this branch of the naval service. Not only must we have well trained guns'crews with good shots as gun captains, hut the officers must perform their parts as well. The guns must he completely under the control of the officers and through them of the captain; which means that to the speedy service of the guns must he added the correct placing of the sight bars, so that no shot may be wasted. The fire of guns at sea is a much more difficult matter to ileal with than their fire on shore, the speed of the swiftest target on shore, a squadron of cavalry, being nearly always exceeded afloat. In finding the distance of a target, or the range as it is called, it is customary to feel tho way to a first approximation to the correct range by firing as rapidly as may be convenient a succession of single shots, using tho rapid lire guns for this purpose, as their range is generally suf ficient. and the waste of ammunition is ma J.\ THE RANGE FINDER. not ns appreciable. Existing guns, in the hands of gun captains of fair skill, will put about one-fourth the shots fired from them when afloat into a target twelve feet high and of most any length —tho vertical rather than the horizontal being the chief consideration—when at 2,000 yards range, the distance being accurately known. This will probably be the effective range for opening future engagement!;. Such is sit least the opinion hold by most gunnery exports both in this coun try and in foreign services. Itistoover corne this element of uncertainty in the calculation of the distance tlio enemy is off, and to thereby increase the range at which'the gun reigns supreme, that Lieut. Fiske, United States navy, lias brought his knowledge and ingenuity to hear. Ilis range Under, which is illustrated by the accompanying cut, introduces elec tricity and depends almost entirely upon the principles of th® Wheatstono bridge or the electrical balance. The instru ment consists of an iron tripod support ing a ilat iron table, carrying a telescope which lias a vertical and a horizontal mo tion, and which is also in the circuit of an electric current. In order to secure hav ing a base line, no matter whether the vessel presents bow, stern or broadside to lite target, there are four of these tri pods on each ship, one at either end of the bridge forming the shorter base line: a third forward and a fourth aft, form ing a longer baseline, which is about the length of the ship. The two tripods forming the base lines are connected with the electric battery, carrying a weak current, two accumula tor cells being sufficient, and also with a galvanometer. The principle involved in finding the range and position of an object depends upon the determination of a fractional portion of a'conducting body bearing in length a ratio to an angle between two lines of sight directed upon the distant, object, and the measurement of the electrical resistance of that length. Tho practical working of the apparatus includes three observers, one at each telescope, and a third at the galvanom eter. On top of one of the tripods, and underneath tlio telescope, is a slider which is adjustable and lias its middle portion insulated so that the current can not pass across, but goes by wire to the galvanometer. Moving this slider one way or another increases or lessens the resistance and causes a deflection in the needle of the galvanometer. One i f tho observers sights his tele scope at the target, and a certain deflec tion of the needle is observed. The other observer also sights on the object, and the ii ( 'i'die shows a change in deflection. The slider is then moved until the needle of the galvanometer reads zero, and the position of the slider in reference to a fixed scale of yards shows at once tho distance the tar vet is away from the ob ject. Well known principles of the re lation of arcs and the sides and angh sof triangle; bear to each other render it possible, from the data of lengths, angles, etc., of the apparatus itself to extend their proportions to any distance, and it is bythe.se methods of proportion and the electric balance that the required distance is obtained. Its application is not confined to vessels alone, as it can be applied niywhero where a baseline of known length can be obtained. For instance, the telescopes, suitably mounted, could be sent out on the skir mish line or to any other advanced po sition and the distanco of an enemy's works or troops accurately determined, so that the gunners would know at what range to elevate their guns. The trouble on shipboard has been that the base line has heretofore proved too short for prac tical use, and the delay has been caused by time required for communication be tween tht? two observers. EVENTS IN ASTOH'S LIFE. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NOTED MILLIONAIRE. ■ Hi, Vt H .-ulili hikl UuoHtenhitiou* Char- !

This was the statement of the physi cian who stood hv the bedside of the head of tlie house of Astor, listened for his latest breath, and closed his eyes when life's battle had ended. Courteous, uncomplaining, carefully considerate of Others, the owner of millions greeted death with us grave and gentle dignity as lie ever did a welcome guest at his j stately home. For sixty-seven years, from the date of his birth until the hour when his life ended, John Jacob Astor was a resident of New Y'ork city, and naturally his doings and surroundings have U'en matters of interest and com ment. The greatest personal owner of real estate in the largest city of the Union, lie had many responsibilities as a land lord outside the main duties of keeping his property in repair and collecting his rent*. That lie fulfilled tlieui is shown by the fact that when he walked from his home on Fifth avenue to his office 011 Twenty-sixth street, as was his daily custom, no one received more greetings of a cordial and /V'T.TBe, friend ly 11 at u re. Tlie pOl i c einan, 1 and the car driv or laiow linn as f ' K well as the mill- yfll ionnire, anil liis vast wealth seem- y envy or hatred in . ll! the uiinds even of *}/\ n / *"*• the poorest, for / all recognized '-ii that his fortune Ns wus legitimately John jacoii astor. acquired and increased, and that the man rig.tr led his immense resources as a trust to In' administered uprightly and carefully. Sir. Astor' - pedestrian habits often in volved liirn in qneer experiences, some times of a disagreeable and sometimes of an amusing character. On one occasion, about two years ago, the ruddy faced old gentleman was walking home in the early evening when a loquacious stranger buttonholed him. The man was poorly dressed anil also slightly under the in fluence of liquor. He sketched to Mr. Astor the contrast between their posi tions. "You," lie said, "have unlimited money anil I'm without a cent. You are an honest man and I'm a criminal—or rather I was. for I'm just out of the peni tentiary. Under the circumstances, would you object to making a small loan maid me in reaching Philadelphia?" Mr. Astor was moved by tlie appeal to the extent df contributing a twenty-five cent piece, ile tendered the silver coin cheerfully, hut the recipient accepted it with an air of disgust. "Thought you'd give up a dollar, at least," he growled, lint his protest went no further, for Po liceman lvelley of the Broadway squad, who regarded himself its one of Mr. Astor's l'rien.ls ami protectors, suddenly bore down upon the beggar and placed him in custody after an exciting chase. The well meant friendliness of the officer caused the millionaire more annoyance than anything else, for ho had to appear in the police court the next morning and furnish testimony on which the ex-con vict was sent to prison for three months. A more pleasing instance of his con tact with and sympathy for the poor has to do with the founding of the Skin and Cancer hospital. Ann Corrigan was a servant in the Astor family. She de veloped a cancer, and despite the best medical attendance died. Thus the sub ject of suffering from this disease was brougiit to the notice of tire head of the house, for his pity was roused when he saw a faithful domestic, tortured by pain, sink into her grave despite all that money and skill could do for her. lie at once consulted with expert medi cal men, and they told him that possibly, under conditions favorable for close ob servation and experiment, a successful treatment for the disease might ha found. He employed physicians and architects to plan the hospital now in use, and made a model building in every conceivable way. The matter of ventilation, among others, received special and admirable attention. To this charity Mrs. Astor contributed as well as her husband, the lady's donation being by bequest. The death of Mrs. Astor, by the way, took the recently deceased millionaire almost entirely out of society. He was always more of a homo man than a devo tee of fashion, and the blow which de prived him of an honored wife practi cally closed his modest career . . a giver of dinners and halls. Exceptionally happy in their union, Mr. and MI s. Astor had one peculiar bond of sympathy. Both were constantly pad judiciously charitable. Their annual expenditures in th - relief of Bullci iII g and <Hv \ want were enor ,<• - ~-4 inous, and it was said of Mrs. As \ /2|K tor that she was .... - more oil n to be ' ...• found among the ...ten.-in en is of ■■■'&,[ ,V. rby>; Ami.!-.- A !l.::n 1 palaces of \'',y I Fifth avenue. .

The hereditary policy of the Astors lias been never to sell any real estate. Always buy anil always keep istho fam ily motto. Only once was this rule vio lated. Tin t was in 1887, when John Jacob and William disposed of a block of land, Mount Morris park and Sixth avenue, for $."25,003. The reason for the sale was that the property was owned ' jointly l>y the brothers, ami they wished to keep their interests separate. Tlie Monday after Sir. Aster's death flags ' were displayed at half inast on the two buildings in New York whicli i have cliiefly aided by their ex! Mice in i making the family name a household | word —the Astor house and the Astor I library. I For the be.tter conservation and man agement of their immense property the ! Astors practically accept and follow the rules of primogeniture, so that John Jacob'ssoii is now the chief of the family and the possessor of the bulk of its wealth. William Waldorf Astor is now something over 10 years of age, and is tho first of his name to take any position in public life. lie has been a member of the New York assembly, an unsuccessful candi date for congress and United States minister to Italy. As a diplomate lie ac quitted himself with credit, and took ad vantage of his residence abroad to col lect material for two novels, which were recently published and have been re ceived hv the public with moderate favor. He is married and the father of several children. BURSTING RESERVOIRS. Tlie I'ur \V ♦•<*, After ICxcmpliou, SnfTor* it I; rent Caluniity. The states and territories in the west ern half of the United States have, in tlie last twenty-five years, gone beyond all previous experience in tho rapidity of dam and reservoir construct ion; and it is a matter of sincere congratulation that the disasters have been fewer in proportion than in any other part of the world. The recent calamity 011 tlie Hassaynra pa river in Arizona, therefore, comes with the horror of a novelty in that line. In magnitude it falls far below the Johnston 11 disaster, as the lives lost do not exceed forty and the total damage is probably hut little over 81,000,000; hut the nature and cause of the two calami ties were almost exactly the same. The Hassavanipa dam, located about forty miles by the shortest trail from Prescott, had been completed for eigh teen months and was a matter of pride to the territory. From bluff to bluff the dam was 1-15 feet long at the bottom and 410 feet at the lop; its width (thickness) was 10 feet at the top and 110 feet at the bottom, ami its height was 110 feet. The lake thus formed covered some 800 acres and was supp -e.l to con tain 8,000.000,000 wai.ntt dam lake. cubic feet of water, its depth being 100 feet. At the bottom of the dam was a pipe-gate 5 by 5 feet; in the dam proper there was no waste way, hut one 40 by 8 feet had been cut around the end of it —through the solid granite of tlie can; on wall. Therefore, say the of ficials of the company, the disaster could not have ucctirri.il if the attendants had done their duty in opening these pas sages for tlie surplus water. Local engineers, however, say that the work was "scamped." The "Walnut Grove Storage company" has its head quarters iu New York, and the design of its dam was to save the winter Hoods of the llassnyaiupa for summer use in irrigation, or mining if occasion should arise, the stream going dry iu summer. The dam was built in 1887 and 1888, the construction having been pushed with wonderful rapidity. Everything to be gin with had to be hauled some sixty miles over desert and mountain, and a dozen new industries created on the spot. On SI,OOO worth of cement the freight was $2,000: lumber was worth ten times as much as in New York, wages and the cost of living were a little more than twice as high, and the cost of the dam was near SBOO,OOO. It was an object of national interest from the start, and by a strange coincidence was fully described in Scribner's Magazine for January and classed as one of the four great dams which were to test effectually the plan of water storage on a large scale—the plan which, if successful, is destined to _ r ■■■& 'KWS Tlli" DAM AT WAI.NUT tiltinVl . change 500,000 square miles of Ameri can desert into the most fertile region on earth. The others are the great Merced dam of California, which forms a reservoir of 5,500,000,000 gallons and supplies a canal- seventy-live miles long; the Bear Valley dam, Ban Bernardino county, Cab, which forms a reservoir covering 2,200 acres and holding 10,000,- 000,000 gallons, and the Sweetwater dam near San Diego, Cab, which is liim-t v i ci Inch, and forms a reservoir of 0.00n.ic10.000 gallons, from which sixty uiii of iron piping convey the water to the irrigated lands. These are, as western men say, the "high inuck-a mucks, the boss dams of creation." With these and many hundred small er but still considerable reservoirs the far w est laid not hitherto an accident of note to record, while the history of New England and the middle states, with dams for manufacturing only, pre sents hundreds of disasters and an ap palling destruction. The Swedes have taken an interest in the development of the Congo state, and 100 Norse artisans have signed a three years' contract to live and labor in the Nyanza country.
