IT appears that electrical apparatus
for the South American trade is built
in sections, each weighing under 400
pounds. The reason is that in a great

have to be transported on mules, and
100 pounds is about the limit OF a
mules carrying capacity.

The story is being told in New York
that the proprietor OF d certain well
known morning newspaper has made al
offer TO Il successful publisher of Chi
cago to come to New York for five wears
at an annual salary of 100000 Whether
this report be true or not, it has occa
stoned a good deal of gossip.
Perhaps in nothing more than in the
question of salaries is there so much
said that is untrue. | have no doubt
there are small number of gentlemen
who are paid from 81. 900 to 500 600 IA
year for their serv ices, but whether they
are worth it or not Is another question.
The tendency Is always To exaggcrate
on tho salary question anyhow. and ii
is more than likely that not half the
sum mentioned is actually paid TO any
man.
1t is the same way with the author,
of books. y little while ago it was said
that Ward McAllistcr had received SEQ
coo for his published volume on "Soci
ETY. as Have Found IT. MIR. McAllis-
ter now comes forward and spoils this
pretty fiction by stating positively that
he received only about 5000, and that
is why he hcsitatcs abpnS accepting al
offer made to him by Chicago firm Q.
publishers. He says there is no money
in books.
The men who are paid 100000 ycai
in New York for any services whatever
are so few as 10 be lonesome. Those
who receive &5OOG0 could probably be
numbered inside of hundred. Those
who receive S25.000 Il wear are of cours,
more numerous, but there are not enough
of them to cause any Very general dis
turbance in financial ccntcrs. And | am
quite inclined to the belief that any man
who receives from $4,000 to 100000 {
year as salary is, like the famous Reilly
who kept the hotel, doing exceedingly
well. Foster Coates in New York Mai

ever, with the oar, which he tried TO ram
down the shark throat.
The fish thou made Il circle around
him, and renewed the attack. BY this
time, however, jacobson had his sheath
knife drawn. and desperately stabbed
the shark. ripping its side open. 50 that
the water became red with blood. i

A living example of dogs fidelity is
presented by that noble Newfoundland

He is a large dark brown fellow and is
well known to the congregation Of the

The dog still goes tochurch and walk

quently he crIis up under seat in the
auditorium ut the beginning Of services
and if anybody attempts TO take the seal
over him he offers a prompt protest that

The house committee on naval affairs
for some days has had under considera
ton bill providing for the addition to
the navy of a novel craft.
The feature of the design is found in
an enormous submarine gun carried at
the bow below the water line. The pro-
jectors feel that they have now u prac-
ticaDle means at hand to drive an enor-
nous shell loaded with an explosive
charge of sunpowder or gun cotton into
the hull of any ironclad ahoat and ex-
plode it in the very vitals of the ship
According to the design submitted to
the committee and explained by Gen
eral Berdan, a hydraulic buffer projects
from the bow of the vessel. This is so
adjusted that it will stop the boat a dis
lance of eight feet from the enemy'S ship
without INJURY TO the boat. At this
short range the buffer automatically dis
charges the Submarine gun directly al
the hull Of the ship, and lodges within
it u she'll carrying Il bursting charge of
$50 pounds OF powder, sufficient to blow
down every bulkhead i'll the ship and
wreck the bottom. Cincinnati Com
