A MARINE INVENTION.

It Is Expected to Give Warning When
Shallow Water Is at Hand.
a new sounding apparatus has been
invented in England for which several
advantages are claimed. The machine,
says the Albany Argus, is intended to
serve not only as a reliable means of
sounding, but also as a submarine
sentry, giving Warming when any par
ticular depth OF water is reached. The
apparatus comprises winch with in
dicators, etc, and wooden sinlxer, the
latter being the essence of the inven-
ton. Practically this sinller is wooden
kite reversed, and is so adjusted in
weight and shape that IL sinks when
towed through water, and always re-
mains at any given depth, without any
regard to the change of speed of the ship
The depth being arranged at that which
will be perfectly safe, whenever bottom
Il reached at that depth the machine
may be SO arranged as to automatically
sound steam whistle or bell or give
notice to the pilot in some other way
that the ship is approaching dangerous
water. The invention, it is said, has
been subjected to prolonged tests and
proven to be perfectly practical and re-
liable.

peculiar feature of the river Nile is
that from its junction with the Atbora,
for distance of more than 800 miles
TO the sea, there are no affiuents. This
fact, together with the burning sand
and the hot sun of the desert, causes
the most of the stream to evaporate,
leaving but small body of water TO
flow into the sea.

rounded by high brick wall, and there is
an aperture in the rear of it, fitted up with
a revolving box, or cradle. AT any hour of
day or hight, baby may be placed therein,
and the box swung around-when bell,
automatically rung, summons the nun or
guard inside, who carries the little wait to
the nursery. Though moralists may con-
denim this easy method as an encourage
ment to vice. it is certainly better than in
fanticide-a crime fearfully common in all
great cities of the north, and wholly IN
known in Chill.

to end in vain to find male penitente, or
any house of correction in which men may

worst of them do not assume a garb to ad-

seeking dissolution at confessional windows

guilt, shame and peDitence seem to be ex-
elusive attributes of the weaker sex.

penitential dress retire to convent in the
suburbs Of Santiago, where they scourge
themselves with whips, mortify the flesh
with sack cloth, feed on mouldy crusts and
sleep in ashes on stone floors, until the
priests by whose advice they go, see fit to
grant them absolution. They are usually
young girls who have yielded to temptation
and wives who have been unfaithful to
their marriage vows. After the society
season and the carnivals are over, and at
the end of summer whenpeople return from
the fashionable resorts, these places are
crowded. For those whose sins are too
great to be washed out by this process,
other converts are open as a refuge, where
young mothers without husbands are cared
for and their infants taken to a neighbor-

Half . Dozen Persons Injured In New
York This Morning.
INV YoRx, May 15.-An explosion in g sewer
line between 8 and 9 o'clock this morning in
jured half a dozen men so that a majority of
them will have to go to hospital. The men were
cleaning the sewer at the junction of South
and Beekman streets Four were in the sewer.
One of the men took down the light SO as to
facilitate the work. There was a large accumu-
latiOn of gas in the sewer, and as. soon as the
man reached the bottom of the sewer the ex-
plosion took place. As a precautionary measure
the manholes had been opened extending
for nearly two blocks either way. and this
alone prevented u terrible disaster, the
neighborhood is thickly settled. and at
the time Of the explosion there were
thousands of people in the vicinity.
The first man injured was found TO be a
pssser-by who had stopped to peer in one Of
the open manholes. The sudden rush Of air
and burning gas which followed the explosion
sent him staggering away half blinded. His
hair and eyebrows were burned off. his face
pePpered with mud and gravel and blistered
with the flames.
Meantime one of the workmen had clamb-
cred out and with the aid of others of his
companions followed. They were q pitiable
looking lot. Their faces were black as coal
and their hair, whiskers and moustaches were
either burned OFF OF shriveled by the heat
They were all nearly blinded and each said he
was suffering torturing pain.

In the stock market continued at the opening
this morning and first prices were generally
from j. to Il per cent lower than last even
ing's figures, but the market soon assumed q
strong tone and the cessation Of the selling pres
sure brought both dullness and a recovery Of the
opening losses. There was extreme dullness in
the general list, but St. raul, Iackavanna
Union Pacific, Louisville and Nashville Atchi-
son and sugar were active and mouopolixed
about three-fOurths of the business done. The
feature of the dealings was the strengh dis
played in the coal stocks and the industrials
LAckavana, Delaware and Hudson and sugar
each rose over per cent, while the changes in
the remainder were for insignificant frJLe lions
only. The later dealings were devoid Of in
terest and at IL o'clock the market was dull
and steady to irm at fractional advances over
the opening prices
Money is easy at 4a45< per cent The actual
taking Of 81, 500 900 gold for export checked
the rising tendency in the stock market after
IL o'clock and the whole list reacted, and
before the downward movement ceased
al except the strongest stocks were
brought below the opening prices The move
ment was attended By no activity outside Of ST.

feature Of any kind, and the final dealings
showed increasing dullness- At noon the

CONNECTICUT AVENUE EXTENSION
Mr.. Winner Speaks Before the COmmil

Mr.. Winner Speaks Before the Commits
sioners In Behalf Of the Phelps Tract.
The Commissioners spent considerable Of
the morning in hearing those persons inter-
ested in the Phelps tract, which it is sought to
subdiside. The land in question is across the
line Connecticut avenue will take If extended
and several protests have been received against
the approval of this subdivision. Senator
Stewart has fought this subdivision before the
Commissioners on several occasions.
Mr.. ]. B. Winner did the speech-mak;ng to-
day. He said that if Connecticut avenue was
extended through the Phelps tract it would
take about 80 per cent OF land contained
therein, make grade OF thirty feet
from Boundary to Leroy place, destroying
the latter subdivision entirely and chang
ing every grade on Washington Heights. as
well as destroying number of hand
some dwellings, He thought the present
Connecticut avenue extended should be
doubled in width and further extended
to the Woodiey Lane bridge. This. he
asserted, could be done almost in straight line.
A grade of ten or twelve feet would be encoun-
tered, but this could be greatly relieved by
raising the bridge.
Commissioner Douglass wanted to know why
the owners of the Phelps property could not
wait for congressional legislation. He had NO
doubt that the whole question OF street extern
sion would be finally settled, and the very ques-
ton now under discussion would be good
case to lay before Congress.
In reply Mr.. Winner stated that If the owners
of the property had any idea that the question
would shortly be settled they would wait, but
no one could expect them to wait with no idea
when settlement would be reached.
This matter" said Mr.. Douglass, SIS Of con-
siderable importance, and We shall give it care
full consideration before coming to any conclu-
sion."
Those present were George Truesdell, L. NJ.
Saunders, s. w. Woodward, II. X. viele, z. N.
Noble and J. b Winner.
