CARLISLE J. GRAHAM

gust, 1886 On his third trip, June IS, 1887,
he was thrown out and lost his barrel and
narrowly escaped death His swimming feat
on that occasion is ranked very high by pro-
fessors Of natation He swan ashore from
one of the worst looking whirlpools in the
rapids, judging by the floating foam, and
managing with wonderful presence OF mind
to keep on lines where the water bore up
ward
He then decided to 20 over the falls and
went to London, Ont, where he and his
brother William, both cOopers, built the
cigar shaped boat for the trip. His first e1-
pertinent, few weeks since, was with his wife;
they got In the concern, and it was then
dropped thirty-fve feet from beam on the
deck Of steamer Il went under water,
rose, righted itself, and v-as easily steered to
the shore. he has since made more daring
experiments, and announced himself ready
and willing to take any newspaper reporter
along, but they declined with thanks. Then
Masa Osada, one Of the little japanese in the
Haverly minstrel troupe, volunteered, and If
the officials do not interfere they are to take
the plunge together. The boat is described
as follows:
1t is III feet long and is shaped something
like cigar or torpedo boat. Amidships it Is
40 inches in diameter and at the ends about
"a. The center compartment can hold two
persons, but they would be crowded closely
together, for the space is only 43x40 inches
and the paddle wheels on the side and steer
ing apparatus have to be worked from with
in. The side wheels work together or sepa-
rately, so if the steering apparatus breaks
they can be used TO deviate the boats course
But there will not be much chance to do
any navigating in the twenty -nile-an-hour
rapids Entrance to the middle cornpart-
ment is through a turret, a little like those
on monitors, which has four lookouts for the
occupants, the little window being closed
with plate glass. The two end compartments
are feet long and each can hold two persons
IF ordinary size. The barrel is bound with
tventy-four iron bands and is made Of
strong, though not heavy, oak and cedar
slaves.

The Difference.

street ferry house last evening surrounded by
papers he had to sell
His eyeiids grew heavy. The winks were
frequent, and finally be fell over on his side
fast asleep His left arm served for pillow
and his right leg lay gracefully over his left.
The flies had q merry time frisking over
the little fellows face and bare feet
ANY one could have taken his papers with
out paying for them, but customers picked
them up and threw down their pennies, while
the boy slept on.
Two motherlY looking women saw him.
''Oh. the dear little fellow, said one; hes
all tired out"
Perhaps the women had little boys Of their
own at home, and were glad they were not
compelled TO sell papers for living.
BE careful and not wake him up said
the other woman, aud she stood over him
and famed the flies away.
A ferryrnan In blue clothes and brass but
tons came along. He looked like giant be

GRAHAN'S BARREL

bitterly adds: IF / get killed I'd like to
