LIFE ON THE SUGAR CANE ISLAND
OF BARBADOES.
Genuity of tlie Population A Healthy Fi

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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
