Another American Victory.


Our Yankee locomotive builders have
gained signal victory in the Argentine
Republic. The department of engi-
neers of Buenos Ayres, in an official re-
port, affirms the superiority of Ameri-
can over English locomotives and rail
way cars in point of general efficiency
and convenience. Not only are Ameri-
can engines and cars less expensive at
the outset, but their durability makes it
possible to maintain them at less cost
than European rolling stock. This
seems to be the universal experience of
foreigners who have had the opportun-
ity to make comparisons. We sent 1913
locomotives to Brazil in the past two
wears, IS to Cuba, 81 to Mexico and %
to Chilli. Three more have just been
sent to Belgium, two to Sweden and six
to Japan. The new railway from Jaffa
to Jerusalem is equipped with American
motive power-Boston Journal.

A LAMB WITH A BONNET.

Strange Freak of Nature a Table
Mountain Range.
There is strange freak of nature in
the shape of a sheep on the range OF
Rogers & Silva, near Table Mountain.
Among this seasons lambs is one which
would be a drawing card in a dime
museum. The lamb is well-forned
one and does not at first glance look any
different from thousands of other lambs
on the range. The popularity consists
OF a WOOlly flap, or more properly
speaking, cap, which is situated be-
tween the ears it is circular in shape
and fastened to the head at the center
of ligament, which will allow the cap
to be lifted up enough so that the fingers
can be inserted between the cap and the
skull.
The cap resembles a white WOODEN
Tam O'Shanter, and when on straight
does not appear to affect it's owner in
the least. But when the cap slides to
one side, as often happens, the lamb
acts as if it was crazy. 1t tits it's head
sideways and keeps running around in
q circle, and appears to be in the great
est distress. While in that condition it
will not eat but as soon as the cap be-
comes straight the lamb walks off and
grazes contentedly.
The rest of the sheep have taken a
great dislike to the bonneted lamb and
fight it whenever it goes near the flock.
The sheep-herders give the lamb every
attention as they think they have a
bonanza in it if it lives.-Modera, Cal.,

A SMART THIEF.

4 nd the Franks He Played at IL Ducai
Dinner in Russia.
One ofthe grand dukes of Russia once
bet with French ambassador that, if the
ambassador would dine with him the
next day he would cause His Excel
lency's watch, signet-ring or any other
article of his dress which he thought
most secure to be stolen from him before
the dessert was over The ambassador
accepted the wager and the grand duke
sent Immediately to the chief of police
for an adroit thief who was dressed in
! livery and instructed in his part. The
ambassador had named his watch as the
particular object of attention. The
dinner began. The ambassador kept
close guard on his watch; and the grand
duke, observing his earnest anxiety,
smiled with d-humored archness.
The dinner was nearly over when
the thief gave signal, and the
duke asked what time it was.
The ambassador triumphantly put his
hand to his pocket-he had it on his
watch a few moments beforehand to
the amusement of all, but particularly
to the grand duke, drew out a very neat
ly-cut turnip. a general laugh followed.
The ambassador, somewhat embar-
rassed would take a pinch of snuff, but
his box was gone The laughter be-
came louder The ambassador, i'll his
embarrassment and veNation, had re-
course to his seal ring, to turn it as he
was accustomed. 1t was gone! In
short he found that he had been regu-
larly plundered of ring, watch, snuff
box, handkerchief, toothpick and
gloves. The adroit rogue was com
manded by the grand duke to give back
the stolen property, when he took out
two watches and presented one to the
ambassador and one to His Imperial
bassador and one for the grand duke
two snuff boxes, etc. The grand duke,
finding himself plundered also, was dis
posed at first to be angry with the too
dexterous artist. However, upon sec
ond thought, the fellow was dismissed
with present and warming to employ
his talents in future to more useful pur-

n GIoating Steam Hammer.

Considering the exceptionally solid
foundations that are required for steam
hammers, this class of tool would seem
to be altogether out of place on ship
board. An English firm has, however,
constructed q hammer for the British
cruiser Defence, which has been con-
verted into floating factory. The
hammer is of the overhanging form,
with falling weight of 800 pounds,
without taking into consideration the
pressure of the top steam. The maxi
mum stroke is IL inches, the diameter
of the cylinder being y inches. The
separate anvil block and base are made
in one massive casting Of great weight,
so as to cause as little vibration as posi-
BILE in the surrounding parts of the ship,
and a 6-inch armorplate is fixed I'M
derneath in vertical position, as a
foundation for the, anvil block. This is
perhaps the first time that it has ever
been attempted except on land.

A Journal reader says: II was much
interested in an item that appeared III
the Journal few days ago telling of an
old fisherman who filled his boat with
mackerel while standing knee deep in
the water He said he thought such
fishing had never been duplicated
Now | do not claim to have seen exactly
the same thing, but | have seen fishing
which seems wonderful to me inasmuch
as it was done on dry land, or rather
rocks, instead of in the water.
ut happened last summer at York
Beach, Me. One Sunday afternoon
some people who were walking out on
the rocks which line the shore noticed
great disturbance in the water. 1t
looked as if it were boiling. The turbid
place came nearer and nearer to the
shore, until live mackerel began to
lump up on the rocks. 1t was a strange
sight to see hundreds of shiny, blue fish
all wrigglng and squirming on dry Land.
The water was literally full OF them,
and they kept jumping up above the
surface. But those on the rocks soon
became quiet, and the Sunday strollers
picked out few large ones to carry
home. Some of the hotel managers got
wind of it, and their guests had mack
erel for several days. But they had
not taken half of the fish. The Usher
men heard of it, too, and hshlnS
vessel from York Harbor soon made
it's appearance. They went home with
a load oftmackerel, and they never had
an easier time to get load, either. 1t
was estimated that freight ear might
have been titled up with the fish which
Law ON the rocks. But the incoming
tide swept away all that were left, an"
they We're seen no more.
GAS to the cause of the phenomenon,
an old fisherman told me that the
mackerel were chased" by doghsh,
their worst enemy, and that tins was
not the first time that whole schooI OF
them had become SO terrified as to
;,,nn ont of the water when they could
flee no further on account of the shore

performing the part of a poacher, and
the implacable gamekeeper took him

"Iou have offended justice, sirrah, y
cried one of the magistrates, out of pa
tiencc with this long and strange har-
angue, which began to invade the time
which his own stomach told him had
arrived.
''Then,' replied the culprit, guessing
at the hungry feelings of the bench,
''since justice IS dissatisfied it must needs
have something to devour. Heaven for

actors last wish, gave him a reprimand
and let him go.-IHc Million.

Check the Baggage Smashers.

Isn't it time that a curb was placed on
the baggage smashers of the country !?
The travelling season is at hand, and the
hardships the old trunks encounter and
the whacks that new ones get at such a
time ought to arouse the public to a
sense of the damage they annually sus-
tain by the recklessness of the men who
toss their baggage about as if it were
made of rubber and filled with air. It

thud that can be felt rod away. To
make trunk last more than one sea-
son it is necessary to have it constructed
chiefly of iron, and then there is no
certainty that it will not be smashed to
pieces on the first trip. The North Car
Dina legislature has passed law to
remedy this abuse, and other states
ought to follow suit.-Boston Journal.

Fortunately Phoenix has but few OF
these storms, and there have been only
two that might be called sand storms
during the last two years. The last one
came from the southwest, and having,
as it did, fair sweep across the desert
south of the river, the day was made
almost intolerable. One gentleman, a
responsible official of the territory,
came thirty miles in the storm Sunday,
and says that it was the worst he ever
saw. On the Auga Fria whole groves OF
mesquite were borne down, and the
drifting sand covered up and annihilat-
ed many wood camps scattered along
the edge of the desert.-San Francisco

Funny Missouri Law.

"Missouri law is sometimes comical, "
said Oliver Thorpe at the Southern to a
Globe-Democrat man. 81 read a
few days ago that q new statute had
been passed by the Missouri legislature
which makes it a penitentiary otfense
for husband to desert his wife until
he has lived with her at least ten years.
l do not know the phraseology of the
statute, but it is plainly and simply in
terpreted, it seems, by every
body who has read it, and it
means that when you marry a
woman in this state you marry her for
ten years, and when you have served
your ten years you can kiss her good-by
and go. It's d sort of a tontine arrange
ment, ] suppose. The lawmakers must
have been married men with wives at
home who wear the breaches or they
wouldn't have taken such a practical
view of matrimony and set a time-lock
on the marriage contract. They prob
ably argue that the men who live ten
wears with some woman are sufficiently
punished for their folly, and are en-
titled to skip if they have survived the
ordeal -
