o. A. Bnllette. who recently received
patent for his device for raising snnken
vessels. made a successful experiment in
the harbor last Thursday. He loaded a
. large barrel with 200 pounds Of scrap iron,
took IL out In q rowboat about BOO yards
from shore, and threw il overheard in
thirty fathons of water. lie then brought
the barrel 10 the surface. and towed IL to
shore within fifteen minutes The appa-
ratus was pronounced frst-ciass By all who
witnessed the operation. Mr.. Bullette is
endeavorng TO get capitalists of this city
interested in his patent. 50 as TO have IL
manufactured here.
The device consists Of buoy. or float.
supporting spool. or drum. carrying
cable or rope connected with the vessel TO
be raised, the SPOOL being provided with
peculiar brake attachment. Ii also has .
biil-hook on the vessel, . cable or rope
Leading from the bIll-hook to a float or
buoy, and lifting chain or cable. having
. large terminal link or ring, which is
adapted 20 slide down on the float cable,
and TO automatically engage the bili-hook.
In The sides OF the vessel a number of bill
hooks are secured, and each is connected
~ It's top and near its outer edge with
cable winding on the spool or drum and
fastened TO the iioat or buoy. The float is
located in 8 convenient place on the deck
of the vessel, so when the vessel sinks the
float will rise. and the cable. on account
OF being fastened ON the biIi-hook fixed TO
the vessel, will unwind from the drum as
the vessel goes down. while the feat will
remain on the top of the water. Thus the
several floats readily indicate the position
Of the sunken vessel.
In order 20 prevent the too rapid uncoil-
Ing Of the cable as the vessel goes down a
brake is provided for the drum. When
the position of tho vessel has been indi-
esasd by the doats, and a wreeking crew
desires to make connection With the
sunKen vessel. then the link of a chain or
cable. brought by the ~recking crew, Is
passed over the cable leading from tho
drum 10 the suuken vessel and permitted
90 pass downward. aud when it reaches
the end Of the cable slides further down
ward ever tia hill-hook, and whom a pull
u executed by the wrecking crew the hook
on the chain locks on the biil-hook on the
vessel and she 10 brought To the surface
and can be towed 60 port Four of these
devices can be used on vessel. two on
each side, fore and aft, and IL is claimed
chat the largest ship that sails the seas can
easily be lifted. Mr.. Ruliette will prob
ably make another experiment next week.

The WAY to Get Old.

To the banale and eternal question,
"How are your" the wise old man allows
himself but one answer, Il am very
we'll" He knows perfectly well that his
innocent deception, if deception it be,
deceives no one. Perhaps it is we'll that
he does not realize, for of self conscious
ness we have enough and to spare, that
the remembrance of his fortitude, pigeon
holed and forgotten perhaps for long
years in the mind of the, listener, may
come forth one day to hearten that same
listener along the cruel way when it shall
be his turn to tread it.
For so are accounts carried forward
and not always to the wrong side of the
page, and if it is true that the sins of the
parents are visited on the children it is
equally true that the luster of their vir-
tues shines on long after the darkness
has covered them. Is he of those who
desire pity for their falling power? The
surest way of getting it is to keep 81
lence.
Almost as important and almost as
much neglected is the care for personal
appearance. After 60 vanity of the per-
son should be carefully cultivated. After
60 coxcombry in man and coquetry in
a woman become cardinal points. Can
it be said that the old as a rule so con-
slider them?-Contemporary Review.

HOW AN Ak Is MADE.
The Numerous Processes 1t Undfrgoes In
the Course of Manufacture.

The Numerous Processes 1t Undsrgoes In
the Course of Manufacture.
On entering the main workshop the
first step in the operation which Is seen
is the formation of the ak head without
the blade. The glowing fat iron bars
are withdrawn from the furnace and are
taken to a powerful and somewhat COM
plicated machine, which performs upon
them four distinct operations, shaping
the metal to form the upper and lower
part of the ak, then the eye, and finally
doubling the piece over so that the whole
ran be welded together. Next the iron
Is put in powerful natural gas furnace
and heated TO white heat. Taken out,
it goes under a tilt hammer and is weld
ed in a second. This done, one blow
from the drop" and the poll of the ak
is completed and firmly welded. Two
crews of men are doing this class of
work, and each crew can make 800 axes
per day.
When the ak leaves the drop, there is
some superfuous metal still adhering to
the edges and forming what is technic-
ally known as fin" To get rid of
the fin the ak is again heated in fur
mace and then taken in hand by saw
yer, who trims the ends and edges. The
operator has a glass in front of him TO
protect his eyes from the sparks which
fly off by the hundreds as the hot metal
is pressed against the rapidly revolving
saw. The iron part of the ak is now
complete. The steel for the blade, after
being heated, is cut by machinery and
shaped. 1t is then ready for the welding
department. A groove is cut into the
edge of the iron, the steel of the blade
inserted, and the whole firmly welded
by machine hammers.
Next comes the operation of temper.
ing. The steel portion Of the ak is heat
ed by being inserted in pots of molten
lead, the blade only being immersed. 1t
is then cooled by dipping in water and
goes to the hands of the inspector. An ak
is subject to rigid tests before it is pro-
nounced perfect. The steel must be of
the required temper, the weight of all
axes Of the same size must be uniform,
all must be ground alike and in various
OIHcI ways COH1Olm W OH ooCdoIISHeu
standard. The inspector who tests the
quality of the steel does so by hammering
the blade and striking the edge to ascer-
tain whether it be too brittle or not. An
ak that breaks during the tests is thrown
aside to be made over.
Before the material of the Ak is in the
proper shape it has been heated FIVE
times, including the tempering process,
and the ak, when completed, has passed
through the hands Of about 40 workmen,
each of whom has done something
toward perfecting it. After passing in
spection. the axes go to the grinding de-
partment, and from that to the polish
ers, who finish them upon emery wheels.

Crests.


"You will not find one woman in a
hundred who is familiar with the rules
3f heraldry," said fashionable stationer.
Ladies insist on having crests embossed
on their writing paper, even when tell
them that they are permitted by the
usages Of centuries to use only the arms.
A handsome woman came In the store
one day and said, Mr.. B., l wish you
would put a crest and arms on my paper
/ knew it would be useless to argue
about the crest, and so / asked her,
Have you any crest with you! oh, no!
/ haven't any, she answered. You can
make nice one, can't you? l learned
that her husband was grain dealer, so
for a crest designed a sheaf of wheat.
For the arms / designed some hawk
heads on shield, and she was delighted.
Women who are interested in these
things should observe the regulations set
down for the use of spinsters, married
women and widows. A specified frame
for the arms should be used by each.
The spinster is required to put her fam
lily arms into a diamond frame, with
very simple adOrnment. When a wom-
an marries, the arms of her family must
be put on the same shield with the arms
of her husband. The shield is impaled,
the wife's arms occupying one position
and the husbands the other. If she be-
comes a widow, the frame for her arms
again assumes the form of a diamond,
symbolzing her unmarried state, while
her arms and the arms of her deceased
husband remain impaled as formerly

What a First Class Fare Means.

There are some people who imagine
that wealth entities them to privileges
not accorded to the general public and
exempts them from obligations and rules
that others are disposed to obey. An Incl
dent which occurred on one of our ocean
steamers conveys a wholesome lesson to
the purse proud contemners of the rights
of the majority. A family Of unlimited
wealth had secured the best accommo-
dation the steamer afforded.
The gentleman and his wife kept them
selves secluded most of the time, but the
children were allowed to run wild over
the steamer until they became such in
tolerable nuisances that the captain was
spoken to, and he gave the youngsters q
severe reprimand. This reused the in
dignation of the mother, who remarked
to the captain that as she paid first class
fare she thought she was entitled to
first class privileges.
Madam" said the captain, ''frst class
fare means first class conduct" There
was no further protest.-London Tit

the most common sense way of disposing

The Conductors Turn Came at Last.

He was the chronic car joker on that line
Of road, and seldom boarded the train
without guying the conductor, or left it
without raising a general laugh at the
company's or trainmen's expense. One
day, however, he arrived late at the sta
tion and barely in time to swing on with
out a ticket. He had just caught his
breath, after seating himself with the usual
daily crowd of fellow travellers, when the
conductor appeared.
Haven't got any ticket" began the
joker, in his usual vein, and the crowd
awaited its daily guy.
"All right; give me fifty cents" respond.
ed the official.
'Neyer carry anything so small, +" and the
traveller picked out twenty dollar bill,
but did not pass it up.
"Make out your receipt first" he contin-
ued, "I'm all business today" Then as
the receipt was duly punched ont he took
it and began long and labored inspection
of it, still holding on to his twenty dollar
bill, at the same time aggravating the busy
conductor superhuous questions: "En-
gine all right? Air brakes or hand braIles3
Newsboy chainedP Any rebate on this
ticket? Punched it all you want to? Any
stop over allowedY' etc.
As the conductor began to tire of the
business, the funny man handed over his
twenty dollar bill and suddenly drew it
back, adding, zone question more: Is this
a through train?" "Bet your life," replied
the conductor, taking the bill; "and what
is more" he added, pocketing the bill and
deliberately moving away, 'its through
without change" and the entire cal
smiled at the funny man and his disappear
