A WATER NYMPH.
The Cute Little Cucklc-Shell That is Wcll
Named the FREELY.

"AAsz" p"o
buffalo Express.]
There is a very peculiar craft plying tho
waters of Niagara River; too large for a
plaything; too small to be a competitor in
either freight OF passenger traffic; it serves
only as a pleasure yacht to its owner, Cen
eral James c. Strong, of this city. It is
named the Firehy and is an object of Curl
osity on account of its owe motive power.
It was the privilege of an E1press reporter
yesterday to be one of q small party to
take a cruise on the Fireay to the Oakield
Clubhouse at Grand Island and return.
The entire machinery, engine, boiler and
all takes up less room than an ordinary
cooking stove and resembles it in fact as
well as appearance. 1t is nothing more
nor less than an oil stove, which propels a
originality of the invention is the auto
matte adjustment of the feed, which makes
the employment Of a "stoker" unnecessary.
Two jets of steam connect with two outlet
pipes of a f%our-gallon tank of oil, after the
manner of a blowpipe, and blow the oil
through horizontal cast-iron pipes into the
fire box, which is very shallow. AS the oil,
thus atomized, passes into the fire box it
feeds the flame, and steam is generated.
When the steam pressure reaches a certain
height, indicated by the steam gauge, a
diaphragm acts automatically on the
steam current, reducing its force, and, con-
sequently diminishing the quantity of fuel.
So, too, when the steam pressure lowers the
automatic diaphragm opens up the valve
and more fuel is added. By this "gov-
ernor'' the pressure is kept uniform. When
the match is once applied the engine con-
trolls itself, and the engineers duty is thus
comparatively a light one.
The boat runs at a speed of ten miles an
hour, and one gallon of oil is sufficient
fuel for that length of time. The engine
is thus economical as we'll as trustworthy.
A boy can run the boat, so simple is its
mechanism, and the cheapness of the en-
| CINE, together with it's freedom from
dust, cinders, smoke, and danger Of ex-
plosions, will no doubt make it popular in
yachts designed, like the Firehy, for
pleasure and recreation rather than great
carrying capacity. The Firely's owner is
exceedingly proud of his possession, and
takes much pleasure i'll her. The boat is
went five feet long with five feet beam,
and will comfortably carry a party OF ten
or twelve; since it was launched, about
three weeks ago, there has hardly been o
dav but that it has been in service.

Dr.. German See read a paper at
the French Academy of Medicine re-
Gently on the treatment of obesity.
The methods which he recommends
for getting rid of supertluous flesh is
simple, and does not involve so severe
a regimen as that prescribed by the
late Mr.. Banting. Azotized food is,
the doctor holds, the great cause of
fat; and accordingly he insists on a
.sparing consumption of meat. Alco-
holic beverages he proscribes alto
igether; but he allows the victims of
corpulency as much tea as they can
drink. This is the entire programme;
and Prof. German See is confident
that it suffices.

THE SILVER PROBLEa.
Treasurer Jordan's Action-The Scarcity
of Small Bills

IBy telegraph
New YORK, September 12th.-It is de-
cIared here that there is a movement on
foot by which the effect of Treasurer Jor-
dams order will be annuIled Certain
bank presidents suggest it would be posi-
bic 10 deposit gold treasure with the Sub
Treasury and receive in return standard
dollars, and the next day return silver dol
lars and get silver certificates The gold
would remain here, the silver certificates
would be returned in time, and the force
of ,Jordan's contract would be broken.
The World says: The decrease in the
amount of legal tenders held by the banks
is explained by the bankers by the fact
that large sums of money are being for
warded South by the banks to move the
cotton crop. Last week 100000 was
sent South, and by the end of this week
probably 100000 more will be for
warded. The bankers say the amount is
sent IN small denominations, ranging from
IS to $50.
The Financial Chronicle says: New York
bankers think the gold movement from
abroad, which began this week, is to reach
large proportions, but in view of the I'M
certainty which surrounds the future of
the silver issue in this country, we think
the shipments to this city will at least be
largely delayed. The recent fall in the
price Of bar silver in London is, for good
reason, attracting wide attention in finan-
cial circles. The decline has been steady.
The price is now 47sd per ounce, on which
basis the bullion value of the standard
dollar is equal to about so cents. The fail
IS due to silver being poured into India
from every part of the world iii an in
creaslng volume, and as consequence the
large amount of India Council bills offered
are in excess of the demand

Shocking Picture of the Condition of
Guaymas.
a. Green, proprietor of the American
Hotel in Guaymas, Mexico, has just ar
rived in San Francisco, and speaks of the
outbreak of yellow fever as follows:
yellow fever has broken out again at
Guaymas, its first appearance taking place
| about three weeks before left, which was
on August 9Th. We were in hopes down
there that after last year there would be no
more fever, and many who intended to
leave last year changed their minds ex-
pecting that the dread disease would not
return. But 1t came back this year more
severein its form than at any previous time.
Three years ago when it first appeared it
was very malignant but still there were
number OF persons who recovered Last
year II occurred in q lighter form than the
previous year, but this year not one who
has been taken down with the yellow fever
has escaped death. Up to the time | LETT
there were fifteen deaths, and nine new
cases OF the disease were reported on the
day preceding my departure There are
other cities, Mazatlan and coast cities being
among them, where yellow fever prevails
but not so much as at Guav1nas. The city
physician at Guaymas, Dr. Figaro. has not
reported to the neighboring cities that vel
low fever is prevalent in Guaymas, and
hence the vessels arriving from there are
not put in quarantine here | know that
from the fact that no delay was put on me

much in Guaymas on account of the fever.

There is absolutely no travel there now. /
make these statements because there are
many who think that the assertions relat-
ing to the spread of yellow fever are over
drawn, but | can assure all those non be
levers that it is just as bad as represented.
DR.. McFadden, the city physician of Mazat-
Ian, states that yellow fever would never
leave Guaymas until the temperature is so
low as to freeze the germs out of the air:
bat as there is no hope of such change in
the climate, it is very likely that Guaymas
is doomed city,"

THERE is no sentiment more settled in
northern California than that the Califor-
MIA and Oregon road should be completed,
and upon the basis of the land grant of the
road. The anti-railroad fanatics insist that
it should be revoked because the road was
not completed years ago. Yet nothing is
clearer than the fact that to have built it
to the Oregon line without being able to
form connection with the road from the
north would have been an act of unwis-
dom. 1t is the through connection that
warrants the extension of the road, as we
understand it, and not even that without
the land grant as basis of credit.

GOVERNMENT MUST AID.

If there were no hydraulic mines what
ever upon the tributaries of the Sacra-
mento river; if no mining debris came
into the river; if the present cause of in
jury TO the stream was not known in the
question, the right would remain to have
Government attention given to and work
done upon the river to preserve its nayi-
gability whenever the need for it de
veloped. The fact that hydraulic mining
does injury to the river in no way inter
venes TO thwart the right to call upon
the Government for aid to keep navigable
the free water highways in the State.
What IS wanted is work by Government
order upon the river; that begun or even
ordered brings the Federal authority face
TO face with whosoever does any act that
viii tend to destroy the work undertaken
or render useless the undertaking of the
work ordered. The Government will
thus be so situated that it must command
the trespasser to cease his trespass. This
1T can do, as it has often done, without any,
appeal to the Courts, but by virtue of ex-
ecutive authority. A very simple illus
tration will present the whole question of
Federal interference. Suppose when Trail
Greek was being dug out by order of the
Government to make for Indiana a safe
harbor upon the southeast shore of Lake
Michigan, that the captain of boat mad
SO wlnter-stored his vessel across the cham
mel as to induce the formation of
new bars or impede Government
work; is it supposable for moment that
the Government authorities would tenn
porlze with the trespasser or appeal to the
Courts for his removal? The case oc-
cured, the barrier was removed forcibly
by Federal order, and the offender sent to
the Courts for punishment. Again, if one
should erect Il mill upon the bank of the
Sacramento river and dump its refuse into
the stream so as to form dangerous deposits
where Government dredger was at work,
Is 1t supposable that he would be allowed
10 continue the nuisance, or that the work
of the dredger would be suspended until
the Courts could adiudge the removal of
the obstruction? Again, suppose the Gov
ernment boat Seller to be engaged in pull
ing snags from the river and at the same
time parties upon the banks are telling
trees and plunging them into the same
shallow places of the stream from which
the boat has dragged the snags; does anyone
suppose the Government would submit to
such trespass upon It's effort to clear the
stream The litigation by the people Of
the valley against Notwithstanding inhu-
ences has determined the principle
involved in favor of the people of the val
ley The further application of the law
should lie diligently pursued, but in the
meantime no one who believes that the
Government owes this people the duty of
reclaiming and protecting the river and
the bays will object to the invocation of
Government interference also. No other
authority can or will do the needed work
upon the streams. The Federal Govern
ment can and must be induced to do IL
