DIVERS DID THE CLEANING.
How thu Baltimore Got Rid Of Her Barna
cles without Docking.

How the Baltimore Got Rid OF Her Barnn-
cles without Docking.
A United States cruiser in active
service requires almost as much bur-
oishing TO keep her trim as does a silk
hat, 1t isn't the brasses and metal
work around her decks that cause.-the
chief anxiety. 1t is her bottom. THAT
fouls, particularly in southern seas and
1t is necessary to dock her and clean
away the barnacles. y
But docks are not always al. hand.
Lieut.. Commander Sebree, In discuss
ing this question in the United States
Naval institute, describes for the first
time the scheme worked by the United
States ship Baltimore during the Chill
ian trouble. She was not locked for
eleven months, and during eight
months of that time she was in Gillian
and Peruvian waters. The Baltimore,
after being locked at Toulon, France,
in February, 1891, sailed for Chilli.
Within four or five months after arriv-s
ing in Chilli she began to lose speed on
account of foul bottom. sn 49,, i.
There were in the crew two seamen
gunners, who had qualified as divers In
the torpedo school at Newport, besides
Peter Hanley, the gunner, who had
also taken the course. 1t was decided
to clean the bottom of the Baltimore
by sending down divers. An iron lad
der was let down from launch along
side the Baltimore, and for use under
the ship wide Jacobs ladder was
made on board. While cleaning the
bottom the diver was always on this
ladder, between it and the ship. He
would stand, sit, or lie down on the
ladder, as happened to be most con-
venient
The divers used scrapers made of
hard wood in the shape of broad
chisel. They were about four inches
wide and eight inches long, with the
handled end rounded down. The diver
chose the man who attended to the life
line. Besides this man who attended
the line, four other men were in the
launch. Two of them worked the
pumps, and the other two attended to
the bow and stern lines of the launch.
The divers were limited to five hours
work day, and they got one dollar
IN hour in addition to their regular
pay.
The time taken to clean the bottom
once and to clean third of it sec-
ond time was two months. The work
was done under adverse circumstances
in the harbor of Valparaiso, where
frequently sea would stop the work.
The barnacles on the bottom of the
Baltimore the first time that she was
cleaned averaged two and three-quar.
ter inches in length. Some of them
were more than three inches long.
They were often in clusters, so that
they extended six inches or more from
Che ships bottom. t@apft
After the bottom was cleaned tho
gunner made an inspection, and re.
ported that the cleaning was well done.
Lieutenant Commander Sebree says
that in bis opinion vessel can be kept
practically clean and suffer no serious
, loss of speed for at least year by the
use of her divers at cost of six huns
bred dollars for labor and about six
hundred dollars for the pump.-N Y.

The Old Brick Oven.

There is one old-fashioned thing
which we would do well to return to,
and that is the brick oven of our grand
mothers. Any one who has a yard can
have brick oven, and it will require
no more fuel than stove to do big
baking. In hot weather the heat can
be kept out of the house, and last, but
not least, there is flavor about any
thing baked in brick oven that can
not be equaled. 1t is poor economy to
be forever baking, We all know the
woman who is perpetually stirring up
cake or baking few biscuit, I'm
providence is born in her blood; if sup,
piled with visions by the wholesale she
would always manage to be out OF
something. -Womankind.

Pineapple Preserves.

Select large, fresh pineapples, per
iectly ripe; have n very sharp knife,
pare and slice the fruit round about
half an inch thick: remove all of the
eyes. Allow pound and quarter OF
best graduated sugar to one pound of
fruit. Put into glass jar a layer of
sugar and then layer of fruit until
the jar is filled. Make the layers of
sugar very thick or you will have a
quantity left when the fruit is all laid
in. Cover the jar close and set it in a
very cold place. This will keep per
fectly and the taste of freshly sugared
oineapples wear sfterward. These
IRE made without boiling. pstTsit

Fragrant Perfume 500 Years Old.

A curious box was recently found
amid the ruins of Pompeii. The box
was marble or alabaster. about two
inches square and closely sealed. When
opened it was found to be full of a
p6inatum of grease. hard bat very fra

that of roses. but was much more fra.

century should be able to regale their
noses with perfumes prepared in the

FALL FURS.
A Fashionable Trimming for Ladies' Out
door Costumes.

Fashionable Trimming for Ladies' Out
door Costumes.
Though most of us are interested
just now in the autumn fabrics that for
the time being we have almost forgot
ten the existence of furs there are GER
tain wise folk who bear in mind the
time which is not far off, and are fash
ioning beautiful, luxurious combina-
tions of furs, satins and velvets. Fur
will play very prominent part in
dress as we'll as cloak decorations this
winter. One beautiful street gown of
black crepon had large rows of ermine
turned away from velvet underbodice;
a narrow edge of ermine on the upper
skirt of crepon was slightly looped
over velvet underslzirt; metallic
green cloth gown was very beautiful
with plentiful trimmings of chin
chilla. Caracula will hold it's
own with other furs for close-fit-
ting coats. One beautiful cape of be-
coming shade of green, lined with
caracula and forming fiat revers con-
tinued in two long ends to the bottom
of the gown, was a new importation.
Another was of Alaska seal faced with
sable tails and lined with copper and
pink brocade, The capes are very
many of them trimmed with collar and
long ends of contrasting fur. A long
coat of brown box cloth was lined with
Russian sable and fastened with orna-
-. g e.l 10
collar of the sable. A smart little
Elton jacket in fnese sealsikin, with
full cape sleeves, large collar and very
large square revers and a stylish seal
skin cape, with zouave under-jacket
edge, with three rows of golden beaver,
all show the great variety not only Of
furs but the shapes one has to choose
from this coming winter The muffs
will be larger N, y. Post.

OUR CONSUL RESTORED.
The Nicaraguan Government Treats
England and This Country Alike,

Dr. Guznian, the Nicaragran minister
here, has received information by cable
from his government 10 the effect tha,
United States Consul Braida, whose exequa-
tur was withdrawn by that government on
account Of the part he took In the effort to
organize a provisional government at Blue
fields. has been temporarily reinstated. The
reason for this action. as explained by DIR.
Guzman, is found in the desire of his gov
ernment to avoid discrimination or favor
itism as between Great Britain and the
United States. The Nicaraguan govern
ment yielded to the request OF the British
minister at Managua to restore temporarily
the execuatur OF the British consul, Mr..
Bingham, which was Withdrawn for the
same reason In Mr.. Braida's case, and
therefore it voluntarily pursued the same
course toward the latter. who will conse-

BERING SEA PATROL.
What is Said at the Navy Department
as to Alleged Delay.

Notwithstanding the runners which came
from Port Townsend, Wash, to the effect
that the sailing of the Bering sea patrol
has been postponed for two weeks and that
vessels have been withdrawn from the fleet,
1t Is stated at the Navy Department that
there has been no avoidable delay on their
part in getting the fleet off, and 1t will
probably sail before the end of this week.
Orders were sent by mail to Capt. Clark OF
the Mohican, the scpior commander, for
his guidance in the cruise. and he was to
sail Immediately upon the receipt of sub
sequent telegraphic order. But it was nee
essary for the vessels to be supplied with
copies of the seal regula ations for distribu-
ton among the sealing vessels. and these
regulations were not completed and mailed
from here until last Saturday.
AS socn as Capt. Clark notifies the de-
partment that he has received and under
stands these documents he will be notified
to sail. The fleet has not been diminished,
save by the withdrawal Of the Bennington
for service a: Salvador.

THE BERING SEA PATROL.
Rumors on the Pacific Regarding tn,
Dispatch of Vessels.

PORT TOWNSEND. Wash, May g.
There is every reason to believe the COM
mander of the Bering sea patrol feet, Capt.
Clark, United States steamer Mohican. the
flagship here. received instructions from the
Navy Department to delay dispatching ves-
sells north in quest of illegal sealers.
The officers and crews were allowed to
come ashore and the general rumor pre-
vailed among the feet that the vessels will
rot go to sea for two or three weeks. OFF,
GERS on the cruiser Yorktown profess to
have been semi-officially notified that the
Yorktown will be ordered to Australia, via
Honolulu. Commander Clark will not make
statement for publication. 1t Is thought
that in view of the compact between Great
Britain and the United States to Jointly pa
troll the seal waters the number Of vessels
has been reduced.

was that of an infant barely year
old. Then came those of two squaws
and five children. They had evidently
turned west when the flames swept
through the forest.
Yesterday the bodies of three or
four person; were found in Il cellar

/ PINE CITY, Mimi, Sept. 5.--The

awful magnitude. There are now ~
ing in the desolate cemetery, under a
shallow covering of sand or in the
rude, rough boxes which take the
| place of baskets, 2l6 bodies. +. j.
Weber of Pine City, who has had en-
tire charge of the interment, has had
his work well in hand and has kept
most accurate account of the bodies.
| These figures are his, and include
those buried by their friends. Four
trenches in all have been opened, sep
arated by about four feet. Commence
ing on the south in the north trench
are forty-fve unlocked corpses. In
the trench No. are twenty boxes,
many containing from two to five
bodies. This trench is not vet closed
In the third are twenty-seven boxes
like the others. The fourth trench is
not yet in use, but there are piled up
nineteen boxes which will be put in
to-day.
At Pokegama the dead have been
nearly all accounted for and will not
run over twenty five. At Miller were
buried twelve and at Sandstone sixty
seven. These figures, with an esti-
mate showing those not yet found.
bring the total up to $40. The latter
estimates may be too low, but it is
matter of absolute conjecture and it
IS here that the widely different to-
tails are found. Some think that at
least 200 settlers in camps are vet to
be found. The dead number $40, as
follows:
