A Boat with a Wooden Boiler.

Some time ago it was announced
that machinlst of this city named
Joseph Sutcliffe was engaged in the
construction of steamboat boiler from
an ordinary ale cask. AT the time it
was mentioned the boiler was not quite
completed, but since then 1t has been
launched and tested, and has stood a
considerable pressure Of steam to the
square inch. The wooden boiler was
built to supply a two-horse power TO-
tary engine, and was to be placed on
slxteen-foot boat. The boiler was
made from an ale cask, and very little
change has taken place in its exterior.
On the inside of the barrel has been
placed fire box which extends well
down into the cask; this has been fit
ted with tubes placed horizontally and
vertically to hold the water. In other
boilers the water is outside of the
tubes. The fire box is supplied with
fuel from the top, draught being
supplied through tube from below.
This unique boiler has been fairly ties.
ted, and is pronounced success for
the purpose for which 1t was construc-
ted. The engine is a two-horse power
rotary, and was also built by Mr..
Sutcliffe.
This novel vessel is twain screw
propeller, the screws being ten inches
in diameter. The vessel is not only
propelled but is steered by these
screws, which act like the tail of
fish. A trial trip was made few
days after it was launched with five
persons, and the boat proceeded about
q quarter of mile up the river. 1t
was then thought best not to proceed
any further, as it was found the engine
was not in direct line with the pro-
peller shaft, which caused considerable
friction. This trouble has since been
remedled, and the engine and boiler are
working very successfully, and trips
are made with the boat up the river
every afternoon. The wooden boiler
boat, as it has become known and
spoken of on the river, is the cynosure
of all eyes, as it passes up and down
the stream.

On the floor In one of the rooms of
the Norwalk, Conn.,, Iron Works Com
pany is a long, heavy cylinder. Its
length is about twenty-eight feet and
the diameter of the bore is, about four
inches. In another department men
are at work constructing an air COM
pressor. When the latter is completed
it will be connected with the tube men
toned above, and what the inventor
confidently believes will be a most tre-
mendous engine of war will be complet-
ed and ready for trial. Several years
ago, while in Washington, a gentleman
from Ohio heard a naval officer say that
If a gun could be constructed that would
throw dynamite 1t would thoroughly re-
volutionize modern warfare. Mr.. Milf
fin-that was the gentleman's name
proceeded at once to invent such gun,
and he has reason to believe that it will
be a perfect success. 1t would not do
to use powder as a propelling power, for
its suddea action would explode the
dynamite cartridge at the start, and
blow the gun to atoms. Compressed
air, at a pressure of about 300 pounds
to the square inch, will take the place of
powder. and the gun now in South Nor
walk IS expected to throw a three-pound
cartridge distance of two miles. Ina
gine the effect of a cartridge of even so
small a weight striking the side or deck
of a vessel, or the ralnparts of fort.
The explosion would be terrible in its
results. If the gun is success others
of size sufficient to throw 100 pounds
Of dynamite ten miles will be construc-
ted. The gun, loaded with sand instead
of dynamite, will be tested IN South
Norwalk at an early day, in the presence
of naval officers, scientific men, and
others.

The little woman began to grow
faint-not alone with fear, but from
the weight of the gnn. Her han
trembled.
Suddenly there rang wild shout,
mingled with furious curses. Chairs
and table were overturned, and in the
flash of an eye Mrs. Lathrop saw three
men spring toward he, each with a
knife in his hand.
She saw, and then, with wordless
prayer, she pressed the trigger.
A tremendous roar shook the air; two
outshooting flames followed by two
puffs of blue smoke; two heavy falls;
then dark figure drawing himself out
of the open doorway. That was all.
And as the brave woman leaned back
against the wall of her cabin she heard
the song of the birds outside, and she
saw the mellow sunlight feck the
rough floor, but she did not see her
enemies. Then she tainted.
But close before her, doubly terce in
death, lay the forms of two men,
while without, upon the green grass,
writhed Black Dan, sightless and filled
with wounds.
Twenty minutes later the hired man,
johnson, appeared, alarmed at the
sound of the shot, and saw what was
done. Three days later, Mrs. Lathrop
received the thanks of the Pixies Peak
camp and golden regard. But she
would no longer live alone, and her
husband is now a merchant in Denver,
while she is known as the brave woman
who caught Black Dan.

When loving lips refused to tell
The feelings of the heart,
When friendships fervor once grows COLI
How soon our joys depart
How sad when trusted hearts deceive
That fondly cherished prize,
That sweet affection ever holds
In warmest, sacred ties
When parting, ah, how keen the pain
To hearts that ne'er forget
Each speaks in softest, tender tones,
Which tell that sad regret
VIII come some day in after years,
When they are far apart,
When each will long once more to be
Back to that lonely heart.
In hasty moments, cruel words
viii cause the sharpess pain,
Which often breaks the strongest links
OF friendships golden chain;
And thus the heart that is sincere
The love that's ever pure,
Is cast adrift on sorrows sea,
All tortures to endure.

WHEN your grandfathers left a few
shuoks on each ear, and then braided
all together and hung them in the gran
ary or attic. where they would be kept
dry and safe from rats and mice, they
adopted as good plan as has ever been
discovered for keeping seed corn.
Mistakes may serve tor guides as
well as success; and we can learn about
as much from seeing what not to do.

Under the laws of Providence, life is
a probation; probation is almost sue

the preparation and the safeguard of
