ANOTHER WRECK.
Total Loss of the Silver
Spring.
went Ashore at Rockport - Crew
Picked Up by the Cieone-Two
Whalers Arrive.

-. The latest addition to the list of vessels
lost off the treacherous northern coast of
this State was repor ed yesterday. This
time 1t is the steam schooner Silver Spring,
the managing owner of which is w. A.
Mitchell of this city.
The disaster occurred on Friday evening
at half-past o'clock. The Spring left here
two weeks ago TO get load of lumber at
Rockport On account of the rough sea
and bad weather the vessel beat on and off
the shore for twelve days. The coast at
this point is rugged and precipluus Even
in calm weather it has to be approached
with great care.
just how the Silver Spring got caught
and was driven on the rocks is not known
and Will not be until her captain or some
OF the crew arrive here. At any rate the
officers and crew took TO the boats whe it
was realized that the schooner was beyond
saving.
Fortunately the steam schooner Cleone,
belonging TO the same firm, which had
Deen dlscharglng cargo Al WeStpurt, came
along soon after the sbpwrecked men got
on In the boats and picked them up She
then went back To Westport.
The Silver Spring was in command of
captain b. NJ. Hard wick. young but eff
Gent coast captain. Besides him they
were two mates, SIX sailors. two engineers
and cook and steward on board. The
vessel will prove a total loss. She has
been in the lumber business since she was
built.
The Silver Spring was built here in
1883 by George Bonle. Her net tonnage
was 1S4.16; gross, 245. She was 126 feet
long. 81 feet breadth of beam and 10 feet
in depth of hold. Her cost was S34 800.
and she was but partially insured
The steam whaler Balaena, which ar
rived from the north on Friday night,
caught in the time she was out 6S whales.
In all, she was 81 months out. During
1892 she Only rounded mp 9 whales; in 1893
the luck was phenomenal, and 50 levia-
thans of the deep succumbed 10 the PROV
eSs of the Balaena's men. This Sc ason
only 6 whales were caught. The voyage
OF the Balaena was an uneventful one in
other respects.
The Offices of the Pacific Mail Company
were removed yesterday from the dock at
the foot Of Brannan street to 425 Market.
Hereafter all business connected with the
freight and passenger traffic of the COM
Dany will be conducted at the new lOca-
tlon. 1t will be open Tor business to-mOr-
row.
The whaer Cape Horn Pigeon arrived
from the Okhotsk Sea yesterday after
noon. she had on board $500 pounds of
bone and $50 barrels of oil
The steamer Queen also got in from Kar-
lux. with I0.2OO eases Of canned salmon
and 300 barrels OF fish.

CHICAGO Nov. 3.-Wheat started weak and
closed strong, making 12c gain for the day. Corn
was weak from beginning to end and provisions
were also on the down grade. The weeks export
OF wheat ana -four from both coasts =, 394
600 bushels, compared with 1888. 900 bushels on
the previous week, and probably for that reason
the market opened with sellers AZ under yester
days closing prices. The foreign prices were firm
and higher. Inquiries by cable from exporting
houses solicited offers OF wheat. Receipts OF
wheat at Duluth ana Minneapolis were aga In con-
sderably smaller than on the corresponding day
OF last year. The whole OF the Northwest was re-
ported TO be covered with sush and snow, indi
eating very bad couutry roads and prospective
further dinin utIon OF farmers deliveries.
The weakness In the market lasted for about a Z
hou~, but il had in that time been demonstrated
to the bears that there were buyers for all they
wanted TO sell al 5Sc for May and 531sc for De.
cember.
Trading in oats continued very light and the
market attracted little attention. Fluctuations OF
corn ruled the course OF the market entirely
May started at 325sc sold off TO 32sSc m tc
325S932S4c, and closed shade easier at 321aG

not earlier than the middle of the last
century. But in this instance the

not dived deep enough or stayed down
long enough among the records Of an
tiquity to discover the bottom facts in
the history of such mechanisms
The first locomotive. or sclf-moving
vehicle, of which we have any account
was the invention of Hero of Alexan-
dria, who lived about two thousand,
years ago. In his work descriptive Of
automatic or self-moving machines.
there is illustrated n shrine Of Bacchus
mounted upon three wheels concealed
within its base.
The shrine was crowned with . can
opy, about which figures Of dancers
were made to move by hidden mechan-
ism Within the base OK the shrine
were three supporting wheels OF these
two were fixed TO an axle, on which waa
drum. Around this drum was wound
n rope which passed upward on one
side Of the shrine and over two pullcys
II WINS then attached 10 n heavy icaden
weight. The gradual escape Of sand
through a hole in the compartment be-
meath the weight caused IL 70 descend
The weight thus pulled on the cord and
revolvcd the drum aud wheels. causing
the shrine TO move forward in . straighA

Hero also describes how 20 srrangs
the wheels in order 10 make the shrine
move in a circular path and to mako IL
move In straight lines Mt right angles
By turning the figure Of Victory two
fountains beneath the canopy could be
made to discharge wine or milk at
pleasure. This apparatus is an ad-pta-
ton Of the two-way cock, familiar 70

The mechanism Of this shrine Of Bao-
chus proves that 1000 years ago tho
fact that wheeled vehicles could 30
propelled by power applied 10 the axles
on which the driving wheels were
fastened was well known, and that the
mechanical principles involved In tho
application Of the power were well IN
