leaves its lighest vegetable mold undis-

THE sUBJUGATION OF THE MIS-.

By ROBERT s. TAYLOR.
CHAPTER ".

Some Of the methods Of channel improve
ment now in use have been copied from the
processes of nature just described. When
it is sought to narrow an exclusively wide
channel, permcable screens, made Of piles
and interviewer brush orpoles areset on the
bar where it is desired to form new banks
at intervals Of thousand feet or less. The
water, in flowing through these screens,
loses 80 much Of its velocity that it drops
its sediment very rapidly after passing
them. The effect produced by such siruc-
lures is sometimes quite remarkable. In
favorable localities I'll of forty feet IN
depth has resulted in single season. At
Horsetall Bar, below st. Louis, may be
seen an area Of more than thousand acres
of land, which has built up from the river.
bed to an average depth of twenty feet
by the means just described. A mere line
of piles, eight feet apart will often produce
heavy deposit below.
These numerous examples have been
cited in order to illustrate and enforce the

John W. Frazier, special inspector OF
customs, against the steamboats, Column

Clyde and John A. Warner, for al.
legged violation of the law requiring
every vessel propelled by steam to
carry a full complement of licensed
officers"
The mates of the steamboats, Eamed
had not been licensed, 1t was averred,
by the Board of Local Inspectors, as
required by law The penalty for vi6lat-
ing the statute is $500 for each offtnse.
Half the penalty recovered goes to the
nformer. After the attachments had
teen served by officers of United
States Marshal Kerns, security was
entered and The steamboats, were re-
leased.
Suits were entered subsequently
against the mates of the r respective
steamboats, to recover penalty, ofSl00
to which each of the mates is declared
to be liable under a statute forbidding
any one to employ any person or for
any person to serve as ga master, chief
mate, engineer or pilot on any steamer
who is not licensed by the Board Of
Local Inspectors
Captain Jonathan Cone, who con.
trolls three Of the boats that were at
tach, d says that he has no such officer

somewhat similar to that performed by
mates is done by certain deck hands,
who direct the rest of the men, but do
not assume any Of the responsibility at

A Priest In u Bu nkO dame.

New YORK, May l5.-The bunko
men got the best Of priest to-day.
He is the Rev. Patrick j. Rogers, Of the
ST. Columkill Church, Brighton, Mass.
Father Rogers tells the following story
81 was standing In front Of Sweeney q
Hotel, in Chatham street, to-day, when
stranger came up and calling me by
name said he was acquainted with me
in my parish. He was a dealer in
cloth.
81 went with him to a saloon, and after
we were seated some time two strangers
came in aud began talking to us as if
they were old acquaintances. Finally
my companion produced pocket book,
apparently well filled, and explained
how he had been cheated by sharpers.
, He then took out three cards, which he
said he had got from the man who
robbed him. He spoke sc entcrtainingly
that we all sympathiZ"d with him.
Finally he asked us to put our purses
down on the table and he would show
MS how he was fooled. put down my
p~ckrt-book, containing $40, on a card
rhr man quickly turned up that card
and some one said had lost.
"ill three ar's" laughing and went
ont with my money When recover
ed from my surprise arose. Then the
saloon keeper sp"ang al me, caught me
by the collar, AMI asked If intended 10
kick up a row. tried 70 explain to
him that had been robbed, but he
said no one was ever robbed in his
saloon. While he thus delayed me the
thieves got away. Schartenhnrg,
the proprietor OF the saloon, was arrest
ed on complaint OF Father Rogers. but
he could not prove the mans COM
plcity in the robbery. Father Rogers
has gone home to Massachusetts, and
the police are looking for the bunko
men.
