PARASITES THAT SEND OCEAN VES SELS TO THE HOSPITAL No Unro 1'roteetlon Tor Iron Hulls Has Keen Found The Old and tho New Man ner of Cnnt ruction Somutblng About Drydoeks and Their 1'ses. Tho Foa U a grand nnd yet a tivaolitT Oil mother to tho tliousuiids of sliips thnt nail over its broad pxpnnso, nnd aft er Imffcting with its Btorms tho ships mtiHt go to their liospital fur ropairfi. This hoHpitnl is tho drjdoilt, nnd tho doctors nro tho nrmy of careful work mon who lixik ovorcarcfnlly nnd repair every faulty soani or broken rivet. Salt water is teeming with pnrasites of plant and animal life, that cling to tho bottoms of ships, cnt slowly yet snrely thronfh wood nnd iron nliko or mst it away, whilo they act ns a chock on tho spet;d by vastly increasing tho rcKiHtanco and friction of the water nKaiuxt tho ship. Tho -"gods of tho storms see everywhere" nnd pick out each weak senm or faulty rivet nnd slowly nnd surely cat into tho vitals of tho ship, so that cvory few months it becomes necessary to cxnmino nnd ro' pair the vessel. To do this sho must como out of tho water. Tho drydock is Just a irreat box of wood, iron and stono, coimectiiiK with tho sea by a frreat ato wny. When tho ship is ready to enter, tho gate is shut and tho water all pump ed out; then the workmen, with prac ticed skill, place tho blocks nt tho bot tom of tho dock for tho keel to rest upon, taking the dimensions from the plnns and drawings of the vessol. These in plaoo, the dock is flooded ngnin, the sate opened, and tho shin hauled in. Tho gate is now closed ngain, nnd whilo tho water is slowly pumped out and the ship settles down the dockers pull her this way or that until sho rests evenly on the keel blocks. Then shores, or heavy wooden beams, are braced from tho sides of tho dock to tho sides of tho ship, and ns tho water is pumped away tho ship stands "high and dry," a ver itable "flsli out of water,'' the bottom, which was below tho water lino, cover ed with seaweeds nnd parasites that hido tho defects they hnvo caused. Then tho workmen scrape nnd scour tho unwelcome barnacles and grass nwny, the seams nnd rivets are nil ex amined nnd repaired, a fresh coat of paint goes on again, and as tho dock is again fioodod the ship rises from her hospital bed, and tho wooden supports aro knocked away nntil sho floats ont to sea ngain, "hoalthy and strong," to bnttlo with the wind nnd sen and tho enemies of tho flag sho proudly flies. When wood was used almost exclu sively in building ships, a very easy and convenient moans was found to protect the underwater portions of the ship from the insidious attacks of barnacles nnd parasites of plant and animal life. This was done by covoring the whole bottom of the ship with a plating of thin oopper, for the gnlvnnio action of tho salt wator npon the copper was to convert the ship nnd sea into avast bat tery, whore the ooppor became the nega tive pole and was slowly yet constantly eaten away, the, partioles, as they fell, taking with them the barnacles and sea weed as fast as they formed on the hip, thus keeping the ship's bottom and sides always clean, so that the speed was not cnt down by dragging the bar nacles and yards of seaweed through the water. Yet even then the oopper need ed repairs; faulty timbers rotted and crumbled away, so that every few yean the Bhip had to go Into drydock and be thoroughly overhauled, each faulty tim ber replaced and rusty bolt repaired nn til no loophole was loft for the sea to work npon. But with the advent of iron in the building of ships the old means failed, for whore oopper was placed over iron the iron became the nogative pole of the great battery and was eaten away quick ly, riddling the bottom of the ship with many looks. Many devices were tried the under wator portions of the vessels wore covered with a waterproof layorof wood, which was then coppered as be fore, b. t wherever there was any me tallic connection between the copper and iron the whole foroe of the battery acted there, and holes were eaten In un expected and inaccessible places, bring ing in an element of uncertainty and enforcing great care in "sheathing" the vessels, as the coating of wood is called, and the ships still had to go more often than ever to the drydock. Then the various methods of painting the bottoms with protective paints have been tried and are used in all of the oruisors of oar navy. The skill of hun dreds of chemists has been exerted to find a paint that would act as the oon- per does and throw off the barnacle and seaweed. Great prises bare been offer ed, nnd a fortnno nwaits tho successful discoverer of such n coating for ships, yet so far 110110 has been disovered that nets completely, nnd tho iron nnd steel shijw which start from port With fresh ly painted sides and bottoms return in a few mouths coated with banincles nnd sea weed, which, ns it trails in tho wa ter, very materially cuts down tho speed nnd power of tho ship. Then she must bo put in the dry dock and scrublied nnd scraped nnd repainted. Still worso than the barnacles nnd tho seaweed is tho tvntcr itself when it finds an entrance, bo it ever so small, through tho paint to tho stitd below. Slowly bnt surely it rusts out n little pit, which extends sometimes nlmost through tho plato bo fore tho paint, scalo drops off nnd dis closes tho defect, which can even then only lie seen by putting the ship in dry dock and examining every square foot of her lmttom plating. This all shows how necessary it is for tho ships to go to their "hospital" nnd how careful her "doctors" shonld bo, for millions of dollars worth of property nnd millions of priceless lives nro car ried eveiy year on these "messengers of the sea." Tho greatest docks in tho world nre those of tho great shipping port of Li vcrpool.- Washington Star. PEARL HAREOM. Protected hy Minrltunnd Turtles nnd Likely to lie the I'ncille's t.lbrnltiir. No finer trip out of Honolulu can bo made than to Pearl City by water. Tho tonto is just outside tho surf lina A light boat with a small load may go in side tho breakers. So soon as tho boat is fairly headed for Barber's point tho sport begins. Tho water is nlive with monster turtles nnd big sharks. You Jnay shoot tho former or hook tho latter. Every tinio tho craft gets into tho break ers interest in tho trip is heightened to the point that men who like to adven ture glory in. Loss of control of tho boat means a ducking, if nothing mora JIullet flop out of tho water in the old Knlihi fishing grounds, nnd when well into Pearl harbor you pass tho famous shark trap nnd moro mullet preserves.

CUSTOMS OF COSTERS. rhey Lead a Precarious Lire, but Are FhU loeopher All the Time. A writer in the London Quiver says that the costers are now a large class. Though the coster's work is extremely hard and his profits are precarious be lives for a good pnrpoBtVWhon he sneaks of himself as "a general dealer," he means that he trades in anything which enables him to turn an honest penny. His ordinary mode of life is even lower than is meant by living from hand to month. When he turns ont in the small boors of (be morning to look round the markets, ho may not even know whether this tratllo for tho day will consist in fish, vegetables or fruit Ho may tako a hasty penny breakfast in the street and then go to Billingsgate with tho idea of "loading np" with tho first, only to find that everything is too dear, and then ho must hie nwny to Spitalflold or Covent Harden. Whon ho thus arises With tho lark, ho cannot toll whether he will havo "a good day" or a very poor one. Tho most despairing timo of nil is when tho mnrkets nil round nro too dear to allow of tho barrow being "loaded np. " If tho coster can clear 8 or 4 shil lings in tho day, ho will not lie down hearted, nnd should ho earn nothing, or even innko a loss, ho looks at tho mat tor ns philosophically ns 0110 could ex pect. There nro shrewd business men nmong tho costers who riso into thriv ing shopkeepers. Tho bank establish ment for their own uso teaches them to save, nnd tho evening for receiving do posits will bo 0110 of tho livelieri of tho Week. Tho fact is nlso learned that there is strength in unity, so thnt tho London Union of General Dealers in its way exercises ns farrcaching nu in fluence ns a city guild. ' Tho chairman might correctly have described himself in tho words of one of his brethren, "I ain't a eddicnted person, but I know wot's wot. " Ho proved this characteristic by rising into a thriving tradesman, having one or two shops, and when on 0110 occasion his errand boy stolo a box containing nearly 100 sovereigns tho police would not believe that such a man had so much money to bo stolen. The fact was ns stated, however, nnd the "gen eral dealer" still continued to make progress, while he wns well known to Lord Shnfteshnry, who publicly alluded to him as "My friend ." At first sight it mny nppcar to be a humblo thing to 1)0 a leading spirit nmong such humblo folk, but in n wny there is am ple scojie for ndministrative ability and enterprise. PLAYING IN THE GARRET. Some of the Resoarees and Flensnre of the Flayroom Fnder the Iloof. "Thore is ono delight, " said a mnn who wns roared in a small town, "that I supposo many children born in great cities never know, and thnt is tho de light of playing in tho garret Many city childrou, to be sure, have relatives in tho country or in smallor cities or towns whom they hnve visited, who live in houses with garrets, and these know something of the delights of the garret, but there must bo many city children who never even heard the name. "For myself, I remember well a gar ret to which I used to climb in rainy weather up n steep and narrow flight of stairs. It was warm and rather stuffy in tho garret, but the rain made, musio on tho shingled roof, and tho garret it self was full of treasures. There was room, to begin with, space to move about in, though yon needed to look out a littlo for tho timber in the sloping roof. There wns a swing from two of tho beams, and we used to swing and swing in that and never get tired of it Thoro wns a chimney up through this garret, a great, big, friendly chimney, and we used to play tag around thnt chimney nntil wo couldn't run any more. There was a great lot of old magazines, and these were an unfailing soureo of delight. There were old books in queer typo, nnd with strnngo looking pictures, Thoro were queer old hair covorcd trunks, with round tops, stud ded with brass headed nails. In these trunks nnd around in the garret were curious, old fashioned men's clothes. and the most extraordinary gowns and capes and hats of women not fancy costumes, but the real things, such as they actually wore many years ngo, and looking stranger than anything you could hire at a costumor'a. We used to dress np sometimes in those old, old things and parade around in the garret ana nave great times generally, and so forgot ourselves in the delights of the garret that the very world itself lookod strange when we came down stairs and back to it "What is there in the big city that takes the place of the garret?" New York Sun. Origin of "Case Fending-." " 'Cases pending, ' " said a gentleman the other evening to a number of gen tlemen as they sat watching the smoke form the Ha van as curl upward in graceful clouds. "Now, there is a term in legal parlance yon hear every day, and yet how many of you know how it originated?" Not one knew, and he continued: "Centuries ago in Germany, whon people were just beginning to soek re dress at law, the courts had not the in tricate machinery and manner of keep ing records they now bava Still the oases multiplied, and they used to write them down on a sheet of paper. These in time aooumnlated, so they stuck them on a long wire whioh bung over the judge's table. They used to take them off at the bottom of the pile, whilo the clerk always pnt tho fresh ones on the top. "Then there was always a pile of cases hanging over the judge's table, and so the term 'cases pending' natu rally came into use." Philadelphia Call la the Militia, Captain Have yon ever been drilled?

Tho genial old philanthropist, Horace Greeley, Went to New Orleans nfter the south had taken him to her heart in grateful recognition of his action in go ing on the Jeff Davis nnil bond, nnd tho people were anxious to show him every nttention in their power. A dinner seemed to bo tho proper thing, nnd tho mnrkets of New Orlenns, thnu which there nro few better in tho World, were ransacked to mako tho oc rasion ns notablo for its viands as for tho distinction of the guest and tho din ers. Judgo Wnlkor, tho veteran editor of Tho Picayune, presided. Ho was a great gormnnd, nnd nfter tho manner of gormands wished none of tho fino points of tho dinner to lie lost to tho guest for lack of commentary. "Mr. Greeley," said he, "thrso oys ters nro tho best thnt como to our mnr ket, nnd wo think they vio with those of Norfolk. I olwervo that you nro not enting them." "Well, 110," replied Greeley. "Tho truth is I never could nblde shellfish." And ho passed. Then enmo somo delicious green tur tlo soup, which Judge Walker explain ed was prepared from tho finest fat tur tle tho Florida bays could afford. "No doubt, no doubt," was the reply in Greeley's peculiar whine, "bnt cold blooded animals are an abomination to me," The pompnno, imperial fish that it is, and fresh from tho gulf, was open to tho samo objection, despite Judgo Wal ker's eulogy, and thnt, too, wns passed. Mr. Greeley barely tasted tho accompa nying Parisian dainty nnd shTiok his head ruefully nt the idea that anybody would impair his digestion by enting oucumbers. Shrimp snlnd, another New Orleans delicacy, proved no moro tempt ing. Shrimps, he said, looked so much like worms that they always give him the creeps. "Ah, here is something yon will like a homely dish in name, " said Judge Walker, "but fit for the gods. It is a Gnlicia ham. " And then he went on to toll how tho hogs from which these hams wero obtained were fed only on chestnuts, making tho flesh luscious and delicious. "Pcrhnps so, very interesting in deed," observed Greeley, "but do you know, judge, that there is so much talk of trichina nowadays that I wouldn't dare tnsto a bit of pork. " Tho judge gave up in despair. The only things in all the array of dninties which had been provided which Mr. Greeley would ent were bread, potatoes and cauliflower, nnd ho feared that he might bo overloading his stomach nt that. But when it como to tho speak ing, although ho had drunk nothing but cold wator, ho spoke as ono inspired and with a fervor, eloquence nnd tender ness thnt nobody nt tho tnblo could ever forgot Chicago Iuter Ocenu.

One day he did go down tho hill so fast that tho entire train left the track at the bottom, and thore wero box carspilod np high. An investigation Immediately followed, and the engi nocr, in railroad parlance, was put on the "carpet " He swore in the most solemn torms that he weut down the hill not faster than IS miles an hour, but that just before reaching the bot tom ho lost control of the airbrake, and the speed became so great tho train could not keep the track; hence tho wreck, for which he was not responsi ble, "But," said bis superintendent, "we have a man hero, a farmer, who was on the hillside that day when you came down. He stood at the edge of a clear ing, saw yon at the top and all the way down, and he will swear that ho never saw a train going so fast in all his life, and be is a man 00 years old. He says that it was next to an impossibility to see the wheels. What do yon say to that?" Tho engineer nover hesitated. "I know the man. I saw him the day after the wreck, and he told the same story to me, only thore was a little more to it" "What was that?" "Why, he told me that it was the first train of cars he had ever seen in bis life, and I don't think he would be a very good judge of speed. " There was silouoe in the room for a fow moments, and the engineer got off with a 60 days' suspension. Chicago Herald.

It Is lie loved to Vnilcrlle Nehranlin, Kun sns and Indian Territory. Tho best scientists of tho lnnd favor tho opinion that Nebraska, Kaunas nnd part of Indian Territory nro situated over an immense underground lake or sen. It is a well known fact that in sev eral places in Kansas whnlo sections of land havo suddenly disappeared, leaving only fathomless lakelets to mark tho spot where they wero onco situated. Proof that there is something peculiar with tho foundation of tho section of tho country mentioned may bo found in tho celebrated "tide wells" of Polk, Butler nnd Colfax counties in Nebras ka, Polk county is best provided with these curious wells, having between a dozen nnd 30 which roar nnd ebb nnd flow with nn unseen tide. Tho roaring of these reinnrkahlo cnriiwities they cannot le called natural wonders, Ihj canse they nro tho work of man, at least so far ns excavation is concerned is caused by tho inhnlatii 111 and exhalation of immense quantities of air. Thero aro hours, regular and uniform, in which tho air will rush ont with a loud, hiss ing sonnd, nnd ngain an equal space of time in which it. seems that all tho air of the Platto valley will bo sucked into tho cavernous depths of these wonderful wells. Tho period of this ebb nnd flow does not seem to depend upon cither the sen sons or tho state of tho weather, but is thought to havo some mysterious con nection with tho high nnd low tido pe riods of tho Atlantic nnd Pnciflo oceans. A meteorologist of national reputation, who sought to fathom tho mystery of tho "Platto river tido wells," nnd who issued a littlo pamphlet with tho titio "Roaring Wells of Nebraska," gavo it as his opinion thnt tho roaring phenom enon was in some way connected with the prevailing direction of tho wind, being strongest in timo of west or south west breezes. Tho farmers in tho three counties mentioned as being best pro vided with these tido regulated, air ex pelling wells believe thnt tho water sup ply is connected with a body largo enough to have a regular ebb and flow of tide. All the wells in tho counties of Polk and Butler which are tide regulat ed are of abont tho somo depth, thoso of Colfax being deeper, but all extend ing to a porous stratum having the same general characteristics. St. Louis Re public Fraudulent Sweetbreads. "A true sweetbread is perhaps tho most healthy ment that can bo eaten," said a doctor yestordny, "but you nro never nble to get it. The sweetbread proper is tho pancreas, which is one of tho most effective ngents in promoting digestion, but tho sweetbread of trade is usually obtained from tho throats of cattle nnd is what is called tho thyroid gland. This gland rests against tho windpipe, and whilo its texture is sim ilar to that of tho real sweetbread it hns not the same beneficial qualities. But somo butchers, in order to maxe money, pnsB off tho salivary gland, that which furnishes tho saliva, located in the chocks, for a sweetbread. This is tho most inferior substitute of all. Tho pancreas, or real sweetbread, is a most dainty morsol. It is of triangular form, whilo tho sweetbreads obtained from tho throat nre of nu oval form. But what is tho uso of making penplo dis satisfied? They havo been eating thy roid and salivary glands for sweetbreads for years and havo boon satisfied. But then they havo nover tasted the real thing." Pittsburg Dispatch. ' The Tenor' Little Jolie.
