A MARINE INVENTION.

1t IL 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 warning when any par
ticular depth of water is reached. The
apparatus comprises winch with in
dicators, ETC., and wooden sinker, the
latter being the essence of the inven-
tion. Practically this sinker is wooden
kite reversed, and is SO adjusted in
weight and shape that it 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
Is 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

a New Kind OF BIaiting-paper.

"A new process for manufacturing
blotting-pa consists in taking un-
sized paper as it comes from the paper
machine and exposing one or both of
the sides to the disturbing action OF
mechanical means for opening up its
surface; for instance, to the grinding or
abrasive action of sand-paper, emery
wheels, wire brushes or to the action of
cards or scrapers. Such action aepar.
ates and lifts the surface tibers. This
process is said to produce highly alb
sorbent or bibulous paper, especially
adapted for use as commercial blotting-
paper and for other purposes where an
absorbent paper is required, and having
its fibers separated and raised, and pre-
senting a velvety surface as distin-
guished from ordinary blotting-paper.
BY this process blotting can be manu-
factured from any kind of paper, re-
gardless of the stock or material from
which it is made,

ANOTHER RAILROAD HORROR

Two Cars of n Crowded Passenger
Train Overturned-A Number In
jured, Several Seriously and One Fa-
tally.
BELLAIR, O., July 31.-Another horror
has been added to the late list of railroad
accidents in Ohio. At 10 this morning
passenger train No. on the Bellair, Zanes-
vile and Cincinnati narrow guage rail-
road left the track three miles south of
Bellair, two cars being overturned and
dragged some distance by the engine.
There were seventy passengers on. the
train and the two cars that turned over
into the ditch were crowded with well
known people of this section. When they
left the track some one cried out that
everybody should cling to their seats, but
the shock was SO awful that many were
hurled from one side to the other, those
not badly injured being terribly shaken
up. When all were finally taken out of
the wreck it was found that fourteen peo-
pie had been injured, four of them serious
ly and one fatally.
The train was running at the least calcu-
lation at the rate of thirty-five miles an
hour, and as it reached curve the cars
were noticed to sway violently, and I'M
needing the cries for passengers to keep
their seats, rush was made for the doors.
Many of the frightened passengers had
reached the platform when the cars jumped
the rails, and when they turned over in
another moment these were hurled
| into ditch in an indescrimi
nate mass of men, women and children
the latter shrieking fearfully as they weni
down. Meyees, the baggagemaster, was
cooped up in his car, and when it left the
track he was thrown violently against the
side, being injured by the miscellaneous
baggage heaped upon him. He will prob
ably die. Tonight all are reported in ,
fair way of recovery, with this exception.
