Fins for a Steamer.

The MacAdams fins, a device by which a YES
sci under full headway can be stopped in its
own length Independent of its motive power,
were given trial recently at New York. The
steamer Florence was fitted with the device
which consists of a plate of iron attached to
each side of the vessel near the stern. BY pull
ing trigger in the pilot house the plates are
instantly thrown open, and presenting their
surfaces at right angles to the course of the YES
sci check its momentum. The Florence is a side
wheel steamer, 125 feet in length, q feet 6
inches beam, and draws 6 1-2 feet of water.
She was running about 15 knot an hour when
the plates were sprung, and the vessel was
stopped before she had gone her own length
further. She was then pointed at an anchored
schooner, and when about 200 feet from the
schooner the fins We're opened and the Flor
ence stopped after running about 100 feet. The
shock on the Florence was scarcely felt, and a
pail filled with water placed on deck did not
lose drop. BY using only one plate, with the
aid of the rudder, the vessel was turned in a
small circle and her course was changed 100 de-
grees in one minute.

Great Seas Gained by Oil.

The Hydrographic Office has received during
the last month about dozen letters from the
officers of various steam and sailing vessels
narrating their experiences in the use of oil in
the time of storm at sea for the purpose of
animity in the conclusions of the writers, that
almost at the instant the oil touched the water
it spread far over the surface and reduced the
threatening pillows to long and heavy but
harmless swels. The writers describe a va
riety of eXtemporized plans for applying the
oil. Several of them attribute the rescue Of
their ships and crews from destruction to the
application. OF the hundreds of similar let
ters received in the past no instance of failure
has been narrated when the oil was vegetable
or fish oil. Kerosene and the lighter oils have
sometimes failed to produce the effect desired,
The material in hand upon this subject will be
published in pamphlet form for the use of
mariners.

DE Ribber Jones'"

The New York Times. which made bad
break politically two years ago and later foued
its own nest in the telephone controversy, is
now a common target for rdicue. The Times,
it appears, fitted out an expedition under COM
mand of Lieut.. SchWatka for the exploration
of Alaska OF the results of this expedition
the Times announced that although it has not
as proposed succeeded in ascending Mount st.
Elias, it has discovered one great river, one
lake. and three large glaciers, but the river is
unfortunately not only shallow, but loaded
with mud, and its muddy waters discolor all
the water of ley Bay for many miles out to
sea- This river, unfortuuately-tha is unfor-
tunately for Mr.. George Jones the editor of the
Times-was named by the explorers Jones
river. This is nuts for his contemporaries,
and the sun makes two propositions, which it
defends in its accustomed Stvle: First, that if
the expedition has discovered such a river. the
name given to it, the Jones river owing to
the character of its waters, j, singularlv ar-
propriate; secondly, that there is such river,
but it was discovered twenty years ago by Mr..
Dali and marked in his map. The World drops
into poetry, as follows:

A BIissful Pair.

On Main street, Yesterday afternoon,
says The EUoaSUiHe Qnd) Journal,
spectators enjoyed scene worth wit
Messing. A gawky fellow and his
lass, probably from the verdant re.
gions, strutted up the street arm in
arm, apparently as contented as a
June bug is when he smiles serenely
upon the cOquettish erasshopper of the
feminine persuasion. A ripple of
happiness played on their countRnan-
ces that was pleasing to the eyes of a
criticising public. She showered art
full glances upon him, while he recip-
rocated the compliment by tickling
her under the jaw ever and anon.
Their attire Was of q style which is
almost stranger TO this section of
civilization. His hat in its younger
days was Of the plug stripe, maybe,
but as age settled upon II holes
appeared and rips were noticeable
1t looked as though someone had used
it for mattress; aside from this mis-
hair was visible through crevice in
the side. His coat resembled flag
that had seen four years service ia the
late war and had since been used as a
feather renovator: Lis pantaloon legs
were probably the same length when
made, but one had shrunk consider
ably and the other looked Ike ii had
been telescoped in railway accident
and landed several inches above his
ankle sunset patches adorned the pan
falcons, and other wise they presented
a queer spectacle. One large toe was
squeezed through a hole in the left
shoe; his feet spread out on the floor
like ham sandwiches.
The young lady wore a small straw
hat on the top of her Uranium, on
which bloomed patch Of artificial
flowers. She wore bangs. But the
kind Graciousl gracious they were
the queerest specimen ever seen. Vel
low in color, straight as shingie and
Of different lengths, they fell over her
forehead like driftwood in a slow tide.
A red collar, with green ribbon, was
wrapped around her neck. The dress
was a Mother Hubbard, with a xxx
flour patch on the hustle: it struck her
brogan shoe-tops and Topped careless
ly in the wisd. He was eating crack
ers from one hand; IN the other was

would Iavenously gnaw. She was
engaged nibbling a hunk of squashy-

she would take bite, then he, and
thus they went along in perfect con
tentment, so far as the world was con.
cerned.

Potato Culture.
Prairie Farmer

Many good farmers cling to the
method of planting in rows both ways.
It permits clean culture by horse-pow-
er alone, even if the yield is not as
MANY bushels to the acre. Mr.. Rob
ert V. Nicolaides, Randolph County
H., describes his method as follows:
We generally pillow the land in au-
tunn which leaves it smooth and mel
low. In spring, when dry enough to
work, pillow again, and with turning
plow clay off" the rows about two
and a half or three feet apart each
way, dropping one piece Of potato at
each crossing cover with pillow. When
cutting the seed for planting always
begin al the small or top end, and
split length wise, SO as to leave two or
three eyes in each piece. As soon as
the sprouts begin to peep out Of the
ground throw one furrow on each
side OF the row with a small turning
pillow, so as to have long ridge. Then
with a light log or harrow, scraPe off
the ridges, so as to leave them nearly
level; breaking few sprouts will do
no harm. The quantity of seed per
acre is from six to eight bushels, &C
cording TO size aud quality. The var
ieties mostly grown here are early
Ohio and early rose for early, bur
bank and peachblow for late. The
quantity grown per acre is from $50
10 250 bushels, according to the soil.
