Gen. Roy Stones Experimentation His
"water PIow'' Does the Work.
[Chicago Journal
An experiment in deepening the channels
OF river, especially at its mouth, is making
fair progress in New York harbor, and
promises to be successful Gen. Roy Stone,
a distinguished military commander during
the war, invented the plan which Is being
tested, and, as is the case with other re-
markable inventions, it is extremely simpL',
and everybody wonders why it had not been
thought Of before. The machinery consists
only of steel hose and pumping power by
which furious jet Of water Il exploded on
the banks OF sand, soil, solid sewage and
other accretions at the bottom Of the chan
mel, and the current bears the most OF the
matter so stirred up out into tho sea-
Gedney's channel is one of the outlets Of
New York harbor in the lower bay. and Is
used by in and outgoing shipping to
greater extent than any other entrance.
But it has only twenty-seven or twenty-eight
feet Of water, while thirty to thirty-two feet
of water is required by many vessels navi-
eating the seas The "water-plow," as Gen.
Stones invention is called, has been at work
two weeks on this channel
The powerful water-jet throws up the
sand, mud and waste by the hundreds Of
tons; it is held temporarily in solution by
the water, and the current washes the ficod
of filthy ooze over the shadows and into the
depths beyond, where it can do no harm to
navigation This is something like Capt
Eads' operations OH the New Orleans jetties
and like hydraulic mining in California
where earth is removed, trees uprooted,
powders washed away and the quartz rock
exposed by the attrition of artificial tor
rents Of water produced for the purpose.
A water-blast OF the kind described might
be useful in deepening the entrance to
Chicago harbor and the channel OF the
rivers 1t is far cheaper and more effective
than dredging. and vast fields of the river
and lake bottom which dredge can not
reach. might be secured by the operation.
One such water-plow would do more work
than forty dredges.

Best Armed Soldiers in the World.
TNevv ynrk Graphic


The Turkish soldiers are armed with
what is probably the finest military rife in
the world-the Peabody Martini Henri
These guns, to the number Of 600, 900, were
manufactured few years ago in this coun-
try, where Turkey buys nearly all Of her
supplies. The contract was awarded to the
Providence Tool company, Of Providence,
r. l., and the price paid for the guns was
such a good one that the Tool company
ought to have made 81, ,000, 900 or g ,0oo, ,0OJ
out Of the job. Instead Of that; however,
the affair was mismanagsd, the company
lost money, and soon after failed. .#..
The guns, however, were very superior
weapons. They were made on the principle
Of the Martini Henri rife, with which the
English troops are armed, and had an addi.
tional advantage in q popularity Of the bar
rel invented by man named Peabody. The
cartridges were made In New Haven and
Bridgeport These guns and cartridges were
used in the Russo Turkish war, and with
them the Turks who are gallant fighters,
enjoyed an immense advantage oyer the
Russians, who carried the old Snyder rife.
The Snyder would not carry over 800 yards
with accuracy, whereas the Turks would
open fire on Russian battalion l,500 yards

A Rip Van Wrinkle of the Late War.
TRaStou Herald

Boston Herald.
A notable parsonage among those to be
met along the avenue and In the hotel lob
bies OF Washington during the past few
DAYS has been an ex-soldier, the circum-
stances Of whose career since the war have
vested him with peculiar interest. Early
In 1869 he, then a young man, enlisted at his
home i'm southern Indiana, and was assigned
to regiment that was actively engaged
during the whole war. The young soldier
made himsel useful, was always in the
thickest OF the fray, and was promoted to he
an officer.
In one of the last battles fought before
the final surrender, while leading charge,
the young captain was struck In the head
by a ball, and fell His soldiers, with whom
he was a great favorite, carried him to the
rear, where he had every attention. Then
he was conveyed to Washington and placed
In one OF the hospitals, and, after long
period of suffering his wound healed, but
his reason had fed. He was officially de-
clared insane, and placed in an asylum near
Washington, where he remained twenty
years In this condition.
A few month, ago his reason returned,
and to-day he Is as sane a man rs lives He
saws the past is a blank. He can scarcely
comprehend that he is not the same young
man that he was twenty years ago He has
found some Of his comrades here, and these
have treated him with great kindness. He
can describe scenes and incidents Of the war
with as much clearnes' as il they had taken
place but few months ago Among the
friends be has recently made is ex-Secretary
of War Lincoln, who became interested in
his case, and has had his application for q
pension made special 10y the commissioner
Of pensions, who also took an interest in the
matter, and within few Jays he will re-
ceiye $4,000 of back pension money, with
which he intends going into business

A Little Deal in Cranberrses.


Chicagoans will indulge in speculation A
few DAYS ago a peculiar deal was made in
Kohlseat's lunch-rooms, near the board OF
trade. Two operators, who knew each other
by sight only, happened to sit side by side.
After finishing plate Of corn-cakes each
called for cranberry pie. @Thats pretty
good" said one to the waiter, upon finishing
it: agive me another piece" @Make II two"
said the other. Tho two operators eyed
each other. Not word was spoken. but
there was no misunderstanding. No

the counter between their plates No
covered it with $40 silver certificate. AN
other piece of that pie, waitsr" sang out

another minute the astonished waiter put
up two more pieces OF the red pastry.
A minute and a half elapsed and No.

BASE BALL MANUFACTURE.
How the Instruments Of Fun and Torture
Are Made Hard and Firm.


philadelphia Times
At least 10, 900 900 base balls are made and
sold In this country every year. Perhaps
very few persons know the process by which
these balls are manufactured or the nature
of the stuffs used in constructing q standard
ball. The most expert workmen are en-
ployed First there is little hard rubber
ball, and around that the wrapper winds n
strong, blue, coarse yarn. When this reacbe
q prescribed size il Is firmly wrapped with
white Venetian yarn.
The balls are then placed in an oven and
baked until all the moisture is taken out Of
them and they are reduced in size. This
makes them solid. After this they are
coated with cement This causes the balls
to retain their shape, and they cannot be
knocked crooked. Then comes some fine
blue yarn, and around the whole Is placed
fine white gilling twine. The balls arc
weighed. for each must be Of certain weight,
and are now ready for the covers. These
latter are made Of the best quality OF horse
hide. The cover consists of two pieces,
each cut in the shape OF the figure 49," By
bending one section one way and the other
In an opposite direction, complete cover Is
obtained.
That was the discovery of a college boy.
For years the balls were covered with four
pieces of leather, but the genius of the col
lege chap has proved great benefit to the
manufacturers. At one time two covers
were placed upon ball That Is. tn, ball
was half made when 1t was covered, and
then another ball constructed over it. But
even that did not prevent its being knocked
out of shape. They cannot disturb the ball
as now made, though, because the cement
holds it. ...
A little machine owned by Philadelphia
firm is used for winding the balls. 1t Is the
only one in the world. It wraps two and
one-half ounces Of the American association
balls in a minute, and the rest is finished by
hand. That apparatus is q little wonder.
1t does its work as neatly as II 1t had brains,
but is capable, say its owners, Of a good deal

What Constitutes a Threat.

DENVER, May 15.-Seversl Denver and
Rio Grande strikers charged with contempt
in intimldating and interfering with other
employees Of the road, 1t being In sbe hands
OF the United States Court, we're to day tried
before United States Circuit Judge Brewer.
He held that request to quit work, even If
couched in peaceful, polite language, II
backed by formidable crowd of excited and
armed men, constitutes threat. No acts OF
violence had been charged against the stri-
kers. All were found guilty aud sentenced
TO imprisonment for terms ranging from four
months down. A large number of the stri'
kers have returned to work and new men are
taking the places of those still out. The
strike is practically ended, and has proved .
complete failure.

PROMINENT PERSONS.
How They Look and How they Ac

The Late Commodore Garrison.

The Late commodore Sarrison.
With the death of the man whose portrait
Is givon above, famous and eventful life
closed He was one Of New York city's best
known citizens, one of the old type Of busi-
ness men who gave her financial and com
mercial renown. He was somewhat such
character as old Commodore Vanderbilt, and
obtained his wealth in similar marine and
river enterprises. He was, however, a man
of more genial, kindly nature than the other
Cornelius ... --.- ....
Commodore Garrison was Of genuine old
Knickerbocker blood. He was born near
West Point, March 1, 1909. There were five
brothers in the family, one older and three
younger than Cornelius. All possessed alike
a splendid physical frame and strong, clear
brains 1t is remarkable that all became
millionaire The other four brothers
are ye. living. Abraham, the eldest,
4 now past 80 years old. For 30 years he
has been an iron manufacturer In Pittsburg.
There will hardly be found anywhere else
a family all OF whose members were 50 mar
velously successful, and all OF whom lived to
such good old age. The commodores son,
ft will be remembered, was killed in 1882 on
the Long Branch railroad, In the same acci
dent In which Gen. Grant received a shock
and shaking up Previous to that time
the commodore said there had not been a
death in his family for 70 years.

WHERE PRESIDENT CLEVELAND WAS BORN.
The birthplace of Mr.. Cleveland is the first
house that is seen in the little village Of Cald-
well, N. j., approaching from Montclair, and
is situated on the left hand side Of the road.
For years the old-fashioned house, with its
quaint gable ends and ivy-covered porch,
has only attracted the attention of the viii
layers as the parsonage Of the First Presby-
terrain church. but lately it has become of
more interest. Mr.. Berry, the present pas
tor, recently gave the following interesting
account of the place: "This, +" he says, "is the
house in which Mr.. Cleveland was born 1t
was first occupied by Stephen Grover,
former pastor Of the church In
1874 Mr.. Grover resigned the pastorate
and Richard +. Cleveland was called
on May 13 of the same year. Mr..
Cleveland had many children, one Of whom,
William N, became a minister and went to
Long Island. In the old church baptismal
record we find the record Of the birth and
baptizing Of the Democratic nominee, which
reads as follows: Stephen Grover Cleveland,
baptized July /, 1887; born March IS, 1887.
''During his six years pastorate," continued
Mr.. Berry, "Mr. Cleveland's father had o
child baptized every year" The room the
President was born in is now used as library.
It is about fifteen feet square, with two win
dows and low ceiling.

coRNxLIu, xENsINGTos GARRISON.


Garrison's mother had him educated for an
architect and builder. He used his know
ledge in building steamboats,. He was cap
tain of the Convoy on the Mississippi many
years ago. An enraged passenger once fired
pistol at him. 1t refused TO go of. Capt.
Garrison coolly opened drawer in his desk,
and handed the fellow some fresh percussion
caps.
TRY some new caps" said he, '.your's
don't seem tn tG good"
The incident made the angry man bis
friend for life. The same iron nerve char
acterized the commodore through life, and
good fortune attended his undertakings.
From the very first he amassed money.
When gold was discovered in California he
established a banking house at Panama, but
gave 1t up on being offered pay Of $4,000
year as San Francisco manager OF the
Nicaragua Steamship line. He had not
been in San Francisco more than six months
till, with his usual good luck, he vas elected
mayor Of the city. A famous mayor he
was, putting down with an iron hand gamb-
ling houses and Sunday theatres, organizing
public schools, building school houses and
aiding benevolent plans. The 'Frisaans
point with pride to him to this day.
At the age of 81 he returned TO New York,
already millionaire. From that time on
he lived in that city till his sudden death
from paralysis of the heart, May /. He was
engaged constantly in stupendous railway,
steamship and other enter p-ises. Once Com
modore Vanderbilt owed him several million
dollars. He sent check for the principal
without the interest A few days later Gar
rison walked into Vanderbilt's Office and
asked for the interest due. ....
What will you do If you don'G get itf'
asked old Cornelius, with a grin. Garrison
at once closed the door aud locked 10.
"I'll show you what I'll do" he an
swerei.
But what he did do no mortal knows
Neither of the two men would ever tell, but
at the end Of ten minutes Garrison walksi
out of the Office with a check for the full
amount
He married for his second wife Miss Ran
dali, when he was IS years old and she 25.
He settled $500, 900 on her. 1t is needless to
say that they lived very happily.
Finally, Commodore Garrison could not
abide man who wore red cravat or who
parted his hair in the middle.

Mr.. Hunter went out to Niagara and an
nexed, pro tenn, . small islet-a mere table
Of rock-which stands out in the rushing
water above the fall and is separated by
yard or two from Goat island. There he set
up his easel almost on level with the
water, and painted the waves as they tumble
against the sky and take all kinds Of fam
tastic shapes before falling into the gulf be-
low. The picture is very largo, some twelve
feet wide and Eve high. It is practically
all sky and water, for distant hint at the
opposite bank and the dark trees upon 1t Is
no more than hint; and the same may be

An Ostrich with . Wooden Leg.
IADahaiy,, {rol Ga1affa

=
Some time ago the rare and ludicrous
sight Of an ostrich with q wooden leg might
have been seen at tho ostrich farm. The
ostriches first Matched were deficient In bone
structure, fact which Is attributed to the
deficiency Of certain element In the food
of the parent bird, deficiency which has
now been supplied. The bones. of the legs in
these young chicks were very soft and break
able and much Of the mortality among them
was due to broken legs. As an experiment,
Superintendent Sketchley-who is an NJ. ID.
--amputated the leg of one Of the birds
which had broken IL accidentally below the
knee, and strapped on wooden leg, upon
which the bird strutted around for some
time. Those who have seen tho ungainly
and mincing gait OF the ostrich when
equipped with natural legs, can imagine
what peculiar step one Of them would
have with an artificial limb. Unfortunately,
the bird thus singularly equipped broke his
leg above the knee, and died. .t r..
