HOUSE BOATS IN ENGLAND.
Many Extravagantly Fitted Out, Bu1
Economy Is Easily Possible.

Many Extravagantly Fitted Out, But
Economy Is Easily Possible.
The house boat is a comparatively re-
cent invention, and, being unpatented,
It's multiplication and Improvement go
on yearly, until now some of them are
veritable floating palaces, and a prince
might envy the London sybarites who
live in this style upon the river" during
the season. Lovers of fast yacht sailing
will. perhaps, fail to see much to admire
or desire in the commodious and slow
proceeding house boat, but, according TO
Frank LeSIie's Monthly. the seeker for
genuine enjoyment and luxury will find
more comfort ito the square inch' aboard
one than ON the swiltest-speeding and
most perfectly appointed yacht. An
average Thames house boat may be
twenty, thirty or forty feet long "oyer
ALL" as yachtsmen say, and is drawn like
canal boat by horses ploddlng along a
towpath by the river. Small-sized house
boats are drawn by hand, which requires
some skill on the part of the substitute
for equine labor, and also are propelled
by polling. The boat itself is sort of
barge, large flat boat upon which is
constructed the 'house," cabin of sew
eral apartments, comprising, according
to the dimensions of the house boat, one
or two sleeping a dining saloon
and sitting-room, kitchen, bath and nee
essary offices and a rooted veranGa, front
and back. A flight of steps leads from
the forward deck up on to the flat top or
''roof' of this one-storied house, and
here, as on an upper deck, sheltered by a
gay, multi-colored awning, the passen-
gers sit and amuse themselves yariously,
reading, chatting, sewing, sketching,
singing, as pleases individual fancy.
Some Of these Thames house boats cost
pretty penny" and are fitted up with
every elegance and luxury that fastid-
ions and eXJrayagant taste can require
and modern art and ingenuity supply;
yet, "house- boating" is not necessarily
an expensive luxury. A renovated old
canal boat or barge, with the hold planked
over, is sometimes made to do duty as a
house boat. Upon the body of the boat
long room, some l5 or 20 by or feet, is
sbuilt, allowing passageways of about two
feet each side so that the coxswain may
pass safely from bow to stern of the boat.
Lockers, which also serve as seats, are
built around the inside. In the center
the dining-table, with folding leaves, is
secured to the flooring, and at either end
of the cabin or saloon are contrived state
rooms of moderate size, with hinged
berths, wire frames for washstands, and
square, cushioned seats, which are lock-
ers in disguise. When the house is built
and the roof timed the whole boat is
painted glossy white or some attractive
light color, her name lettered in bright
colors across the stern, and the national
colors run up the towpole, which rises
about five feet above the roof.

TRoLLY ACROSS THE OCEAN.
Something of That Kind May Give In

CFoa5eO SIDSe0 III the tuIurG.
1t is pretty we'll understood that the
limit of speed in ocean steamers is about
reached If the present models are adhered
to, and that if there is to be any gain in
swiftness it must be by the trial of new
form. The difficulty is to devise vessel
OF which the structural strength shall be
great enough to carry the massive en-
glnes requisite for increased speed and at
the same time TO resist the force of the
ocean storms. If the sea were calm there
would be no difficulty in increasing the
speed OF the ocean greyhounds," but
with the tremendous force of waves and
storms it is not possible to do this with
the present models. The Boston Courier
| thinks 1t is not impossible that the solu-
tlon OF the problem lies in the submarine
ship, and that the passenger steamer of
the future will go under water instead of
across its surface. The advance made in
the planning and working of submarine
boats in the last ten years makes this
| seem not wholly impossible, as it must
have looked once; and there is no doubt
that the freedom from the effects OF the
surface storms would allow swiftness
which could hardly be arrived at on the
surface. 1t might also solve the question
of seasickness, as it is probable that sub
marine locomotlon would be much
smoother and less disturbing to the
0IOlAiShStA 1Adtl bLC PLCScIl1 DICLuOQ vi
travelling. All that one can say, how
ever, is that we shall see what we shall
see,
Perhaps the steamer of the future win
be operated on trolley by means of a
submarine cable. The advantages of this
plan would be great, as it would pre-
vent the necessity of carrying immense
quantities OF fuel and Of keeping the ves-
sci loaded down with enormous engines.
All The delay and difficulty and expense
OF managing furnaces and engines on
board ship would be done away with by
the oceanic trolley system, and the ships
could go whiZZing across the ocean in a
couple of days. Danger OF accident could
be brought TO be no greater than it is at
present by having sufficient number of
repair steamers on the route, which
could keep the cables in repair. and in
case of any accident to the trolley could
bring the passe niger boat into port, or put
it again in connection with the cable.
| There can be 10 question that the proper
means of crossing the Atlantic quickly is
by some system which will allow the
motive power to be applied from the
shore, either by trolley or cable. The
limit of speed for ships that carry en-
gnes and fuel is certainly practically
reached on the surface, and there are diff
culties in the way OF submarine naviga-
ton which it would be hard to conquer.
The trolley system is capable of great ex-
| tension, and we may yet live to get to
Europe by its means.

REPAIRING AN OCEAN CABLE.
Many Difficulties Have to be Overcome
in Splicing the News Cnndnctors

Many Difficulties Have to be Overcome
in Splicing the News Conductors.
1t has always been a matter of specula-
ton and wonder to most people as to how
marine cable once broken in midocean
is ever got together again. The explana-
ton is thus given by the New Orleans
Times Democrat: First, it must be known
that the cable practically rests every
where on the bottom of the sea. OF course
there are places where sudden deep places
coming between shallow ones will cause
the cable to make span as over a ravine
or gully. In other places the ocean is so
deep that the cable finds it's specific gray
ity somewhere in midwater, so to speak.
In that case 1T rests quite as firmly as if
it were on solid ground.
When break occurs the first step, of
course, is to accurately locate its position.
a conductor such as cable offers a GER
tain amount of obstruction or resist
ance" to the passage of an electric current.
Apparatus has been devised for the meas
uring of this resistance" The unit of re-
sistance is called an ohm. The resistance
OF the average cable is, roughly speaking,
three ohms per nautical mile. Resistance
practically ceases at the point where the
conductors make considerable contact
with the water. Therefore, if when meas
uring to locate break it be found that
the measuring apparatus indicates re-
sistance Of 800 ohms the position of the
fault will be known to be 800 miles from
shore.
With this information the Captain of
the repairing ship is able to determine by
his charts of the course of the cable the
latitude and longitude of the spot where
the break occurred, and can proceed with
certainty to effect the repair. When the
approximate neighborhood of the break
is reached grapnel is dropped over
board ana the vessel steams slowly in
course at right angles to the run of the
cable. On the deck of the ship there is
machine called a dynomerer. which, as
It's name implies, is used to measure re-
slstance. The rope securing the grapnel
passes under this.
IL the dynometer records a steady in
crease of strain it indicates that the Crap
mel has caught the cable. If, on the other
hand, the resistance varies from nothing
to tons and from tons to nothing again, it
is known that the grapnel is only engag-
ing rocks or other projections of an un-
even bottom. 1t Is frequently necessary
to drag over such ground several times
before the cable can be secured. Having
secured one end Of a parted cable, the YES
sci moors it to a buoy and proceed 10
search for the other end. When both
ends are brought together on deck the
electrician holds communication with the
shore on both sides to make sure that
there are no other defective places and
that the cable is perfect in both directions.
This having been satisfactorily deter
mined all that remains is to splice the
ends together and drop the cable once
more back into the sea.

Telephones in a storm.

A celebrated English oculist warns the
public against the use of the telephone
during a thunderstorm, and relates an in
cident that occurred to friend of his
who went to the telephone for the pur
pose of acquainting the central exchange
at distant city that storm was ap-
preaching and the instrument would not
be available until it was over. The mo-
ment he put his ear to the telephone a
flash occurred, and he received blow OF
such severity that he was sent across the
small chamber against the opposite wall.
Otherwise beyond the temporary but
very rude shock, which he described as
''a severe box on the ear''-he was un-
hurt. In this respect he was more for
tunate than an artilleryman, who, while
using the telephone in the field during
some recent military maneuvers, was
struck dead by powerful current Of
electricity which passed over the tele-
phone.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A WOMAN 1o2 YEARS OLD.
She is Mrs. Jane Bramble of Lodi, and
is One of Five Generations.

is One of Five Generations.
At the home of her son, in the town of
Lodi, overlooking the pure waters of
Seneca Lake, Mrs. Jane Bramble is
passing the declining years OF her life,
surrounded with all the comforts of a
qniet country life.
Mrs. Bramble was born in Smiths
Cove, Orange County, n. Y, February
Ii, 1871. Her maiden name was Prindell
ana she was about 10 years old when she
went to the town where she now lives.
Her husbands name was David Bramble
and he died about twenty years ago, leav-
ing son and daughter, both OF whom
are still living. The sons name is Riley,
aged 81, still as vigorous and active as a
man of 80, and who, with his wife and
family, is giving his mother all the atten-
ton possible. The daughters name is
Anna Van Vleet, and she, too. is.vigor-
Gus and active for one of her years. There
are five generations of the family living
within a mile of each other-Mrs. Jane
Bramble, Riley Bramble, Caroline La
moreaux (Branble) G. b. Whitman and
George Witham.
Mrs. Jane Bramble is a little below
medium hight, of slight build, but is as
erect as miss OF l6, active in her move
ments, of keen intellect, and in the full
possession OF all her frculties, exceEt that
OF hearing. and it is by no means difficult
to carry On conversation with her with
but a moderate elevation Of the voice.
There is nothing about her actions to con-
vey an impression of her great age. Her
eyes are clear and bright and her checks
have fresh look lacking in ladies many
years her junior. She is an early riser,
many mornings being up before any
other member of the household, and does
her share OF the ordinary home duties.
On the occasion of her one hundredth
birthday party was held in honor of the
event, and the old lady was up at 4 o'clock

Using Live Geese as Decoys.

The manner of using live decoys may
prove of some interest. The geese are
genuine wild ones, taken when young or
possibly Matched and raised by the owner
The birds have the first joint of their
wing taken off, making it impossible for
them to fly any great distance. Around
the leg, Just above the foot, they wear a
leather strap made into a slip-noose.
This is never taken off. To this is tied,
when using them, {. rope eight or ten feet
long, with stake attached. When plac-
ing these decoys we wade, using hip
boots, of course. to about two feet of wa
ter. pushing the stake well into the bot
tom and placing tuft of sod near by
about six or seven inches from the sur
face, so that they may stand on it and not
become too wearied from constantly
floating or swimming. 1t is surprising
how accustomed these birds get to the
gun being fired over them. It is some
what similar TO a hunting dog; they know
what they are there for do their duty and
never finch at the report.-Forest and

City Will Soon Be $4,000 I'm the Hole
Under the Business administration.
Not a long time ago May or Sulliy ans adj
ministrstlon told the Council that 1t would
only need S100. 90 as q temporary loan to
tide it over until the November settlement.
Members of the Council thought this was
rather q large sum, but the authority was
granted the Controller to borrow the money,
which he did. paying 8 per cent. for part of
1t and @ per cent. for the rest. Now the
administration wants to make another
"borrow" to tide it over. The 500. 900 was
not enough. Ante-election expenses come
high this year. Street Commissioners Mo-
Gettigan has run his weekly pay rolls ND
TO almost ST. 600 o week. although the Board
of Works had TN temerity TO order bIm TO
cut them down to g. 1000 q week. All this
costs money. Last night. at the meeting OF
the Council. the Controller somewhat sur-
Drised the members by presenting the fol-
lowing:

receipts before the November settlement say
$4,000. Respectfully ask for permission to
