THE SLOW STEAMSHIP.
Some Of tho Advantages II Possesses Owe
the Ocean Greyhound.

Some Of tho Advantages II Possesses Over
the Ocean Greyhound.
The slower-going steamer, say OF
three hundred to three hundred and
fifty miles a day, has decided advan-
tages over the racer. To attain a high
speed enormous propelling power is re-
CURED, and the ocean greyhound is
like great machine shop, the pulsa-
tions of the machinery jarring every
portion of the boat. To double the
speed, says the Baltimore Sun, OF q
vessel at sea, the power must be cubed.
The vessel to pillow through the water
at twenty-four miles per hour must
displace twice as much water in an
hour as 1t does when going at twelve
miles per hour. That would re Iuire
twice the power. But in addition to
this the water must be displaced in
half the time and that requires the
power to be doubled again. So that a
vessel which would consume five tons
of coal in an hour going at the rate OF
twelve miles, would consume, all other
conditions being equal, twenty tons
per hour il the speed is increased to
twenty-four miles. After all there are
attractions in the old style of going to
sea, with it's leisurely gait, its perfect
rest, its absolute change from all the
conditions of life ON land, which are
superior, in the Judgment of many peo.
pie, to the five or six days of hotel life
between New York and Liverpool on
one of the 'liners."

Tycho de Brahe, the celebrated astron-
omer of the sixteenth century, dropped
to the ground whenever he caught sight
of hare or fox. Ladislaus, king of
Poland, took to fight as soon as he saw
an apple. Henry Ill, king of Eng
land, could not bear to be in room
where there was cat, even though he
might not see it. Erasmus, of Rotter-

of the period, was thrown into fever
at the sight of fish. Bacon, the great
English chancellor, tainted while gaz

IN HOT CHASE
After the Gang of Bold
Horsethieyes,
Who Raided Mognett's
Ranch.
They Were Seen Makingfor the
New River Country.
The Pursuars Are Not Particularly
:Anxious to Bring the Thieves
Back with Them

George Avery. the man who was held
ND last Monday afternoon in the Buck
eye country, and robbed OF horse and
saddle. was in town yesterday. He
said he only saw one of the robbers, the
others being concealed in the bushes at
at the roadside. They were afterward
seen by Charlie Monroe and other
parties going in the direction Of the
New River country. There were three
men. They had four horses including
the one taken from Avery. The other
three answer the description of those
taken from Mognett's ranch on Friday
night.
A large party from Buckeye is in pur-
suit beside party from Phoenix, which
is supposed to be going in the same di.
rection. 1t is quite unlikely that the
thieves il captured will be brought
back az there is strong disposition
Just now among the pursuers to avoid
the delay and expense to the territory

of the afternoon and the place within
easy view Of highway along which
persons were liable To- come at anytime.
After robbing him Of his horse the
thieves broke into two houses belong
ing to him and into other houses in the
neighborhood.
The fact that two days had elapsed
since the raid on Mognett's ranch only
item miles distant leads to the belief
that there is safe rendezvous for
horsethieves somewhere in that neigh
borhood and that the organization Of
the gang 10 more nearly perfect than it
was supposed could be made in this
county. ..
Within two weeks twelve horses have
been stolen in this county and go far as

Negro SuperstItions.

Two seemingly harmless things ex.

One is the cracking Of the finger joints;
the other is to be stepped over as he
lies prone upon the ground. The
cracking Of the finger joints seems to
suggest to the negro Imagination the
rafting Of skeletons bones, while to
be stepped over is regarded as likely to
bring bad luck to grown folks and to
check the growth of children. A half
grown negro boy will sternly command
playfellow who has stepped over his
body to step back, in order that the
spell may be removed.
