on ball bearings, forty-two steel balls, each
inches in diameter and absolutely true,
being used IN the rotary motion OF the shaft
and the long arms Another set of balls Is
used at the cap Of the cone for lateral pres
sure as the arms swing around.
From three stay plates that hook them
selves over the top of the mast strong guy
cables stretch to the lifting arm to prevent
it from breathing. The arm with which the
lifting is done is 65 feet long, and the other
is so feet long. They are made of built
up" steel of the toughest quality. The
longer one is fitted with travelling ma
ohinery, so that it may deposit its burden
at any required distance within its scope
away from the mast. The short arm Ia
anchored to the foot OF the cone by strong
cables, and when a very heavy burden Is
lifted two long steel arms are dropped from
the outer end to the side of the pontoon
below.
The long arm is fitted with two sets Of
pulleys, one for light lifts and one for heavy
lifts. The pulley apparatus is called the
"sling," and is fitted with 115-inch wire
ropes. There are ten coils on the heavy
hoist and two on the light. The pulleys Of
the heavy hoist are thirty inches in di-
ameter.
The pontoon on which the derrick rests is
Of iron and fitted with a system of water
compartments. 1t Is IS feet deep. SO feet
long, and 62 feet wide. When boiler or
any heavy weight is to be hoisted the water
is let in on the opposite side of
the pontoon so as to keep the derrick
on an even keel. AS the burden glides
toward the outward end Of the lifting arm
more water is admitted. and before any
lowering begins the machine is carefully
adjusted and made level. The derrick is
fitted with pumping machinery so that when
its burden is left in place the water is
pumped out. In admitting the water no
pump is used. II is allowed TO run right in
t<rom the river.
The derrick is operated by the engineer
in the third story. He has series of levers
like those in signal stations in the block
system Of operating railroads. AT his
back is steam gauge, showing
the conditions of the boilers, and speak,
ing tubes to communicate with his
fireman at the engines beneath. There is a
large gong in the room, which is sounded
by the boss rigger, who superinteuds from
the pier the wrapping Of the cables about
the object to be hoisted and the hooking Of
them to the pulley. The signals tell the
engineer when 60 stop, go ahead, lower,
or lift. By means of capstans on the pom
toon the derrick can tow itself about the
ship yard. 1t is tool that saves an enor-
nous amount of time and energy. 1t is
rated by insurance companies as a vessel,
and, therefore, carries marine insurance.

Lying near the line that separates the
counties of Sac and Carroll in Northwestern
Iowa, at ss high an altitude as can be found
on the Missouri divide, is a small tree-fringed
lake, scarcely more than two miles long by
one mile wide, which, though looked upon as
nothing more than a pleasant place at which
to pass a summer week by the neighboring
farmer and citizen presents an object Of con-
siderable interest to the traveller in search
OF the curious. Its secret OF interest and at
traction lies in a peculiar wall that now
runs around portions of the north and south
sides, but what at one time. as traces show,
must have encircled the whole area covered
by the lake. Tho remaining wall consists
Of several well-laid layers OF powders,
weighing from 200 to 500 pounds each, and
reaches above che surface four and five
feet, while IL extends six and seven feet be-
