Leary's Raft Served Science

When the great Leary raft went to
pieces off Nantucket last December no
one thought of regarding it as anything
except an unqualified disaster entailing
serious pecuniary loss on the owners OF
the raft. However, this view was very
erroneous, for it is now found that real
and permanent good has resulted from
the accident. The raft was composed Of
thousands of logs, and of course when 1t
broke up each log became what may be
termed special observing station for the
photographic office. Since December each
log that has been observed has had its
position noted by passing vessels, and
now, after the lapse of several months,
the office at Washington has compiled
these observations and issued carefully
prepared pilot chart. This chart, which
represents the courses which the logs
took after the raft was broken up, and
tho points in midocean in which they
were found, shows at a glance the general
direction of the currents, and gives an
object lesson to the mariner that could
scarcely have been given in any other
way.
Of course Mr.. Leary's contribution to
science was an involuntary one, but 1t
has been no less valuable on that account,
and has advanced the study Of ocean cur
rents in way that no one deemed posi-
BILE before the disaster occurred. One of
the peculiar features of the affair is that
what happened was just what the scien-
lists desired, but it was rather too ex-
pensive an experiment to be made volun-
tarily. Thousands of floating logs on the
Atlantic meant too much danger for ship
ping to permit of the government placing
them there. However, no serious disaster
has occurred from collision with any of
these logs, and the wreck of the great log
raft has therefore been both instructive
and harmless, except to the gentlemen
who owned it.-Galveston News.

Down in tho Stoke Hole.

The passenger to Europe who gets
Whit of the hot, oily atmosphere that
puffs up from the engine room, can hardly
help wondering how men exist In such a
hole for days at time. 1t is related that
saloon passenger on an ocean steamer
this summer tried to go down in the stoke
hole to look at it, but was fairly beaten
back by the awful heat. He estimated
that the mercury stood at about It's dogs.
in the hole. This, of course, was more
than a saloon passenger could bear for
even few minutes, and even steerage
passenger would have felt some slight
inconvenience from it. Yet the officers
of that ship would not allow it said that
the fremen and engineers were i'll treated
by being compelled to remain In q place
only fit for the habitation of salamander.
Suppose it was hot, what could be done
about itf AS ships are at present con-
structed, no Improvement Is possible.
Surely this state of things should be
sufficient argument In favor Of employing
petroleum as fuel. 1t might take some
months of experimenting before appli-
ances could be perfected for utilizing oil,
but there is no doubt that such an appli-
ance would ultimately be rendered prac-
ticable, and that when once applied to the
purpose, oil fuel would be found more
effective, more portable, quite as econom-
ical. and certainly more humane than
coal In the matter Of furnishing the
motive power to steamers human progress
seems to have stopped short. -Pttsburg

COWBOYS In EARNEST.

"Arkansaw Charley" was always a ia
vorite among The boys, and was greatly
dreaded by the Indians. The rowing life
of a cowboy upon the frontier plains
suited his tastes far better than the re-
straints of mail escort, while the oppor
tunities to score even with the redskins
were equally good.
It was during the general round up
on the frontier border of Texas in the fall
of 1886 that "Arkansaw Charley" in COM
pany with nine other cattlemen, was
caught upon the plains bordering the
headwaters of the Brazos by band Of
thirty five Comanches, all well mounted
and armed, and led by one of the most
daring sub-chiefs. Curly Biz Thomp-
son, also born in Arkansas, but much
older than Charley, was in charge of the
round up. He was a cowboy of much ex-
perience, and was famous as an Indian
fighter. The two were intimate friends
as the phrase goes out west, they were
partner" what was owned by one be-
longed to the other, and many daring ex-
PLOTS had already marked their career
The cowboys were all well mounted.
and each was armed with long range Win
chester rifles, and the cowboys friend, o
pair of six shooters. They had plenty Of
ammunition, some jerked beef and can
teen of water.
Arkansaw Charley, although not more
than 90, was the recognized leader when
an Indian fight was on hand, and when
the Comanches were discovered sweeping
down upon them from the direction Of o
skirt of timber several miles to the north
west, Arkansaw Charley, after short
parley with Curly Bill, put spurs to his
horse TO secure possession of a piece af
high open ground apparently about mile

..Rai,roadinr" a Confirmed shopper.

OF all the troublesome people in the
world the confirmed shoppers are surely
the worst. Shopping is decidedly craze
with some ladies, and generally from the
pseudo aristocrats. They have the clerk
to tear down every sample of fine en-
broidery and lace, and, not satisfied with
seeing yard or SO of it, they invariably
want several yards uuwound. But they
rarely buy any of the goods. If they do
buy, 1t is of a cheaper grade. Now. when
you come to think that dry goods clerk
has a space of about twenty five feet IN
length and only four feet in width behind
the counter, all the long hours day after
day, you can imagine how the tedium
and monotony of this life is made almost
intolerable by the exasperating shoppers.
We learn to remember their faces, though,
and even recognize them from their
actions and conversation.
The clerks have long since learned to
handle these shoppers very adroitly. We
play trick called 'railroading." When
shopper comes in and clerk shows her
a few pieces of goods in his department,
he then begins to extol the good quail
ties of ''some very exquisite designs in
dress goods, or shifts the conversation to
some other counter than his own. OF
course, the shopper wants to see the new
goods, and the clerk railroads" her to
the other department and then blesses his
soul that he is rid of her The second
clerk follows up the plan, and thus the
shopper is ''railroaded" through every de-
partment in the store, and she then
leaves for some other store to 60 the
rounds In the same style. But the shop
per is looked upon by us as an excrescence
of the trade that must be tolerated, and
we treat her as politely as our severely
tested patience will allow. - Clerk in
Globe Democrat.

by the retail traders. Next the manu-
facturers took to manufacturing shoes
until the boot has been entirely super
seeded by the shoe. The first style of
shoe constructed was the congress gaiter
It was ludicrous to witness the attempts
of those who had been accustomed to
wearing boots when they tried to put on
a congress gaiter. Gradually the congress
gaiter was superseded by the button and
the laced shoe. The latter Is more gen.
orally worn at the present day than any
other style. When 0'Leary, the pedes-
TRAN, walked his famous match with
Weston at Chicago, he wore boots, and as
consequence he lost four toe nails. But
In his next contest he wore laced shoes,
and when the week was ended his feet
were In prime condition.
There used to be an old idea that boot
legs helped to keep tho lower limbs
warm, and that they also assisted in sup
porting the ankles. These fallacies, how
ever, were disproved when the shoe came
into general use. 1t was found that all
that was necessary to insure warmth to
the whole leg wss to keep the ankle
warm. In order to achieve this result
the gaiter tops were invented. But later
experience has demonstrated that even
these were unnecessary in order to OBJ
tain this result. No." continued Mr.. Nc
Swyny, as he looked around at his well
filed shelves, II have $4,000 worth of
shoes on hand, but not one pair Of leather

come from those who are going into the
