ONE MILLION LOBSTERS.
Tho Annual Yield OF a Farm Lying Oh
the Coast of Maine.

Tho Annual Yield OF a Farm Lying Oh
the Coast of Maine.
There is lobster farm-or pound, as
it is called-twelve acres in extent at
Southport, Me. The Boston Globe de-
scribes this pound, the most successful
on the coast, whence one million lob
sters are shipped each year. The pound
is formed by building a solid dam
across a Underwater cove. This dam
does not quite rise to high-water mark.
but across the top is placed fence Of
iron RODS, preventing the Holsters from
escaping. In the spring and fall bust
men bring the Holsters to the pound,
the fish, as they are called. are
hoisted to the dam, measured, and
those which are more than ten and one
half inches long, the legal limit, are
thrown in. If a lobster is clever his
life in the pound may be long and full
of Joy. If he is stupid he will be tished
out with drag seine and packed in a
barrel, with a piece of ice for pillow,
and sent to Boston. The seine is made
Of stout Irvine and is weighted at the
bottom with heavy chain. Along
the top is row of ccrks, which sustain
the weight Of the seine while the chain
drags on the bottom of the pound. A
single cast Of this seine will bring up
Holsters enough to fill eleven barrels.
The chain as it sweeps along the bot
tom stirs up the Holsters, which imme-
diately shoot backward into the slack
Irvine. In taking them out the men
wear heavy mittens, though even then
they are often nipped. In the pound
the Holsters are fed salt herring, men
rowing about in skifs and pitching the
herring overheard This is callei
feeding the chickens" and it takes
about six barrels to make light
luncheon for the flock, There are said
to be number of old hardshelis in
the Southport farm which for years
have evaded the casts of the drag.
Two of enormous size have become
quite tame and crawl about in the
shallow water. The age of the lobster
is debated question. The small mar
ketable specimens are generally sup
posed to be from four to six years old,
but some Holsters are believed to live
to the green old age of twenty-five

STEAM SIRENS FRANKS.
Phenomenon Due to the Refracti0n OF
Sound-Waves by Wind.

Sound-"aves by Wind.
The siren at Tillamook, off the Ore
gon coast, has two steel trumpets and
two steel boilers as big as those of a
locomotive. They utter blasts of i've
seconds duration at intervals of one
and one-half minutes when there is a
fog, and they consume one hundred and
thirty gallons of water per hour. Their
agouizing cries can be heard at a dis
lance of thirty miles under favorable
circumstances. Nevertheless, it some
times happens that, while in full opera
ton, they can not be heard at all at a
distance of two miles. At the Same
time they will be audible at seven
miles, wholly inaudible at twelve
miles, and audible again at greater
distance from the rock. This curious
phenomenon is due to the refraction of
sound-waves by wind. 1t has been
found that such a signal, when not
heard at all on the deck OF vessel,
will some times be loud and clear to the
ear of a person ascending to the mast
head. Sometimes it is audible with
great volume in one spot and complete
" inaudible two hundred yards away.
Eightv-one sirens and other steam fog
si~nals have been established by the
government at a cost of six hundred
thousand dollars, and are maintained
at a yearly expense of one hundred
thousand dollars
A lighthouse, which it would be
most desirable TO connect by telegraph
with the mainland, is situated on one
OF the Farallone islands, twenty-five
miles out in the Pacific from San Fran
cisco. The situation is the most desc
late imaginable. A powerful light,
three hundred and sixty feet above the
sea. is supplemented By fog whistle.

FAKlR'S GLASS DIAMONDS.
A Process That Turned Out to Be q
Practical Temperance Lesson.

A Process That Turned Out to Be q
Practical Temperance Lesson.
There was new face among the
fakirs on the water front the other
morning, the face of man who made
diamonds, rubies and other brilliants
out of old glass bottles The color of
the bottles seemed to be the factor
that determined the nature of the
stone. The implements were a small
hammer, little polishing wheel and
a couple of boxes that contained a
powder, says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer.
The fakir had a radiant portable
stand somewhat larger than the con-
trivance thata scissors grinder carries,
and at that he did a thriving business.
Water front glassware was sacrificed
for diamonds, the accompanying sacri-
fee of silver varying with the size of
the finished product. Glass nuggets as
big as the Kohinoor, and quite as bril-
liant as the sun. were placed within
the reach of the multitude at fifty
cents, and a modest-sized diamond.
big enough for water front engage
ment ring, could be bought for twenty
cents.
Through the crowd an old man
pushed his way. Here's a bottleI' he
exclaimed. Break that UP into rubies
for me-"
NO rubies in that" replied the
fakir. Its diamond bottle"
Diamond, them" shouted the old
man. Break it anyhow! I've carried
that same bottle for twenty years
back, an many's the diamond an ruby
it's cost me. Break it up an keep the
diamonds for your trouble.'

and although land was sighted just be-
fore dark it was 10 o'clock before we
made the coast and found the ship
abreast of Newry, or miles to leeward
of our destination.
The wind hung persiste ntly in the
southwest or dead ahead, and again the
old order, AL hands tack ship" was
heard, and we were routed out of our
hunks during every watch below Be
fore daylight the gale was again raging,
with fresh hand at the bellows" and
although it leased up now and then, it
was only to begin again with renewed
fury. A forlorn and disguised lot Of
sailor men were we, as our constant
fight with the elements day and night
prevented either rest or sleep for any
length of time. The elements seemed
bound to defeat us, but at last after
four days Of almost constant work in
the cold and wet the ship finally
weatLered the Hill of Howth, and we
sailed into Dublin Bay at daybreak OH

FAST IN THE ICE.
New York Bay Frozen Over and Several
Vessels Caught,


NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The observer
at Sandy Hook reports the bay and all
he water around the Hook, as far as
can be seen, covered with ice. A small
steamer is fast in the ice between
Romer beacon and the east bank, and
there is three vessel, appar-
emily coal barge, broadside on the
rocks at Romer beacon.
All of the ferry boats leaving the
Battery are running on time to-day
with the exception of the ferry to
South Brooklyn. One of the boats
made a round trip in an hour
and ten minutes to-day, and
this was about the average
time consumed by all the YES
sells of this line. Twenty five minutes
is the regular time one way for the
passage The Staten Island boats
were only a few moments longer in
making the trip than in ordinary
weather The ice is not heavy now,
and is not likely to become worse
under the present weather
