OCEAN TOWING.

An Invention That Claims the Solution of
an Important Problem.
Tho subject of long-distance ocean
towing has been receiving much consid-
Grafton at the hands of American ship
owners. A proposal has already been
made to employ Theoretically sealed
steel barges for ocean transportation,
these barges being towed by specially
designed tugs and towing apparatus.
It is believed by many ship owners
in this country that we are nearing
the time when the towing steamship
will be largely employed to drag
freight barges across the Atlantic. The
possibilities in this direction have been
suggestively indicated by some note
worthy feats of towing done recently
by the United States tug steamer
Saturn, which is about twenty-five
hundred tons and is fitted with very
powerful engines. The chief difficulty
in ocean towing is tho failure of the
tow rope or steel hawser or it's fasten-
ings. Neither manila rope nor steel
wire rope can withstand the sudden
strains caused by the motion of the
| towboat and her consort in a heavy
| seaway, the great want being elastici-
ty. To overcome this difficulty the
Saturn has been fitted with a towing
| apparatus invented by an American
| engineer. 1t is a balancing cable
drum, which is so geared up that the
normal pressure of the engine cyliu-
ders, situated on either side of the
drum, will balance tho normal strain
on the cable or hawser; but if the
strain on the hawser is increased the
drum revolves aft and the hawser pays
out, running in again when the strain
Is relieved. The inventors of this in
genious apparatus claim that they have
solved the problem of ocean towing

slip away at night whenever she got
the chance. She passed through the
dark silent streets with her soft, noise
less footsteps, until she came to house
which her instinct told her was a
grocery store. There she would stop,
and with her clever, flexible trunk take
down the shutters and effect an en-
trance.
Once inside, she had it all her own
way. After good rummage all round
the shelves to find out what they con-
tanned she would feast until morning on
jam, marmalade, biscuits, cheeses and
sweets of any kind. Once she made her
self i'll, but that was when she ate
up a large wedding cake, sugar orna-
ments and all.
At first she was careful to get back to
her stable before daybreak, but at last
she got OVERLOAD and was one morning
caught in the very act, with the empty
tins and jam pots strewn all around
her. Her guilty, tell-tale trunk was
smeared all over with raspberry jam
and gingerbread!
Poor Polly! am afraid after that

more securely at night and that her
pleasant little rambles were put stop
to for awhile, much against Polly's own
wishes.-A. NJ. Goodhart, in Our Little

swaying of which acted to open and
close the circuit. He connected the
Buffalo wire with the clock wire and
went home to bed, leaving the Buffalo
man vigorously battling with the tick

that when the Toronto man reached

the Buffalo man still fighting the clock.

for that reason. Fighting circuit" has
several times driven men to the verge

New York the tale of an excitable
operator who, after a long and unsuc-
eessful struggle to say something mean
% man i'll Albany whom he hated, and
who at the same time was trying to say
something mean to him, suddenly
arose from his chair and darted from
the oreratlng-room in New York city
and ran down the stairs into the street.
, There he gazed wildly around, look
ing for some object on which to vent
his anger. Near him peaceable, mild
looking gentleman was having his
boots polished The unhappy operator
rushed at him, struck him in the face,
and shouted: BLANK, blank you, you're

But that was in the old days.
Not always. however, have differ

been the case on a number Of oc-

Romolo Gessi Pasha, in his 'Seven Years
In the Soudan," describes his first eXpe-
rience in shooting '1arge game" He
had used gun from boyhood, but had
never hunted anything larger than
wild goats and wolves. Now he was in
buffalo country, and one day a soldier
came in to say that he had seen several
of the animals in the neighborhood.
The temptation was too great, and, in
spite of the excessive heat, Signor
Gessi, with a servant and the soldier,
sailed forth.
We had not gone two hundred steps
when | saw six fine male buffaloes.
Hiding behind anthills, and taking ad-
vantage of the wind, which blew to-
ward us, we slowly approached the
animals. When we were within eight
PAGES of them they scented the danger,
and the two which were on guard fixed
their eyes in our direction.
We waited behind a sugar-loaf ant
hill for half an hour, not daring to
move for fear of soaring the game. Then

another anthill a hundred feet away.

before could call out to him the shot

The buffaloes looked up, uncertain
whence came the danger. The grass
where stood was low, and 1 was plain
ly visible. One of the animals was
wounded in the shoulder, too high to
break the bone, and, foaming at the
mouth, with his tail in the air, he rushed
upon me.

What the CHOIR Said.

Singers in church and elsewhere ara
not always as careful as they ought to
be to articulate their words distinctly.
A little girl entered the meeting house
not long ago-as related in the New
York Tribune-just as the choir was
singing the anthem.
"Hallelujah! Hallelujah!' said the
singers; but the little girl, whose
thoughts were somewhat preoccupied,
we may imagine, did not catch the
words correctly. After getting home
she startled her aunt by saying:
II never saw such nice choir. They
stopped right in the middle of the an

''Why, my dear" said her auntie, 81
