WALKING ON THE WATER.
What Was seen ON the Thames the Other
Day.

what Was Seen ON the Thames the Other
Day.
All London seemed to have lined the
banks between Battersea and London
Bridge yesterday afternoon, says the
London correspondent OF the New York
Recorder of May 10th. Every wharf was
crowded; on every bridge spectators clus-
tered like bees. Whatev, the epeci acle
for which these crowds aere waiting,
there is no question that the objects OF
their regard had an unequalled audience.
The occasion was nothing greater, after
all, than an advertisement OF an exhibit
ton which will certainly rank among the
leading attractions OF the Earl's Court
Exhibitions. Captain Paul Boynton led
bevy Of men and maidens, shod with
delicate double canvas, from Chelsea to
London Bridge, and steamers full Of de-
lighted guests accompanied the party. An
amazing crowd Witnessed their progress
all along the route, and unnumbered
wineries and other craft dared ducking
in the waters Of the Thames and suffered
no harm at all.
1t was very picturesque scene of Bat
tersea Church when Captain Boynton's
water cavalcade got under way at four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. There were
men and girls, Of highly romantic aspect
in nautical attire, their feet clad in sort
Of Calais Duvres divided skirt, armed
with hocky sticks thst they might the
more easily ride the waves. There wers
men ON their backs in inflated costumes
there we're cheery-looking West Indians
padding their own canoes, and there wal
. tug full Of conducive damsels attired Al
men of-war's-men, chaperoned by {
waterman who was quite old enough Il
have known better, especially az he wal
the proud wearer OF Doggett's coat an(
badge. Everywhere along the route mu
sic and cheers greeted this extraordinar,
carnival. Alongside the terrace OF thu
House Of Commons, where u multitude o
members were assembled, the cavalcad,
made eight rallentando, while tn,
band on the good ship Empress Freder
lick played "Rule Britannia" and tn,
government supporters tried to look as
they enjoyed it. The claim of tn
Thames as scene Of public pageant
has been wonderfully, albeit very cas-
ually, indicated.

Tas Great observatory Tower Now Being
Built In London.
From Il e Chicago Post.
The foundations OF Sir Edward Wat
kin's new Tow or OF London have been
completed They occupy four acres in
a pleasure park OF l2O acres between
Willesden and Harrow. They consist Of
immense blocks Of concrets. The na-
ture OF the ground where the tower is to
be constructed is 80 sloping and uneven
that while one set OF footings appears
about five feet abovs the surface another
ia seven feet below, a third five feet be-
low, and the fourth at least twenty feet
below the surface. These foundations 90
down nearly twenty feet, and should be
capable Of bearing any weight that could
be- placed upon them. They have cost
between $25, 900 and 10000.
Some idea OF the magnitude Of the
whole undertaking may be gathered from
the statement that the Eiffel tower, which
is to be 30 far surpassed in size by thu
English tower, was made OF 1000 tons o
steel and iron, consisting of l2,OO'
specially designed pieces, fastened to
gether with $500. 900 rivets.
The English tower is to be 100 Zee
higher than the French wonder, and tn
latter can be seen at distance OF seven
ty-fve miles. The English structure vii
also be on higher ground. On top Of tn
English tower there will be An observe
tory and rooms for scientific experiments
which are likely to be OF great value.

Gagged In a boiler, like a rat in q trap,
with fire at both ends, Richard Shay,
foreman at Park Bros. 4 Co.'S mill, at
Pittsburg, battled for his life Thursday
morning. To remedy defect Shay
crawied into the boiler, taking flaming
torch with him. He hung the torch up
at the mouth of the boiler and began OPP
erations. A blow from his hammer on
the boiler dislodged the torch. 1t fell
and exploded. Shay was covered and
blinded by the shower Of burning oil
and his escape was shut off by pool OF
burning oil near the boilers mouth.
With the fire alowly eating into his vitals,
Shay pressed himself as far away from
the heat as possible, tearing off his blaz.
ing garments and trampling them under
his feet. 1t only took about three min
utes for the oil to burn out, and then
Shay dragged himself over the hot sur
face of the boiler and succeeded in get
ting out. He was 30 badly burned thai
he cannot live.

signed for the present depression OF bust
ness including the low price OF wool. as

able to assume that the election OF Cleve

Foster, ss that it had anything to dc
with the present depression everywhere

In fact the new tariff repeats the old rate
Of $40 per ton from Walla Wal'a. While
doing this it gives rate OF $500 from
