A QUEER TRADE.
Vessels Engaged in Searching for
Lost Anchors.
The Method Employed in Fishing Up the
Planted Mud Hooks-A Comfcrta-
BILE Revenue In the Odd
Business.

Many strange ways of making a live
ihOOd are to be found in and near a
great city, and one of the strangest of
these hereabouts is fishing up lost an
chOrs and anchor chains from the bot
toms of the bays and of the sea along
the coast. 1t is GOt what might be
called a fourishing industry, says the
New York Evening Post, but is, in
deed, pTecariOus dependence for the
necessaries of life; yet it yields susie
nance enough to have created quite a
number of followers. Several sch oOn-
ers and slOOps are engaged almost eX-
clusively in this trade" and each
carries crew of from three to ten
men.
These odd fishermen seek their imam
innate prey whenever the weather per-
mits, and, of course, are most active
during the long summer days. Like
the takers of living spoils from the
water, they know the field of their OPP
erations thoroughly, and expend their
energies mostly where the fishing" is
best. Perhaps, of all the grounds" in
this vicinity, they regard the stretch
of sea off the Delaware breakwater as
the most profitable. 1t is widely known
among shippers and all seafaring men
who visit these parts as great ceme-
terry for anchors. They are being con-
stantly planted" there, to use the
nautical phrase. The perpetual invol-
untary sowing" of anchors there is
due to the large number of vessels that
are compelled by conditions of bust
ness or of wind and tide to ride off the
breakwater, and to their getting fire.
quently caught in a gale while doing
sc. Then, the floor of the sea at that
point appears to have peculiar facil-
ity for fouling anchors, and vessels are
not seldom compelled-or prefer, as the
less of two evils-to abandon them.
Territory up and down the coast
ranks next, in the anchor fisherman's
esteem, as fruitful anchor bed. The
interior waters of the harbor are more
barren, yet repay search. Even the
! North and East rivers, for some dis
} lance up, are occasionally harvested,
! and usually not wholly in vain.
| The method of anchor fishing is sim.
! pie to primitiveness. 1t consists in let
ting down a chain in a loop from the
sides of the vessel until the loop trails
along the bottom. Then the boat sails
along with all hands on board alert for
"bite." Plain as this tackle is, it is
effective as any that could be devised.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-09-29

Planted" anchors almost Invariably
lie with one fule buried in the mud
and the other sticking straight up. If
the angling chain is dragging in the
direction of the inner curve of the up
standing fuke, it is almost a sure
catch" Then the line with the anchor
attached is carefully hoisted, some times
by hand, or if the anchor is very heavy,
by means of capstans If the spoil is
six thousand pounds, driving engine
is frequently employed. The instances
are few, however, where the fishermen
fail to secure their booty. When nee
essary the crew of one anchor smack
will lend hand to another. Boats
often work in pairs. A cable is
stretched between the vessels, and
dragged on the bottom. When an an
Choir is caught one of the vessels takes
a position above it and both crews
assist in raising it. This method in
sures a wide sweep of the bottom.
There are two purposes for which the
''catch" is disposed of. Usually the
anchors are sold to be used as an
chors again, for moderate, or even
considerable, degree of rust in
no way impairs their efficiency as
such. If they are too much eaten up
by rust, which seldom happens, they
are sold as old iron. As they are of
wrought iron the price brought is often
considerable. There are also two ways
by which the fishermen find market
value for their wares. They either
sell them directly by hawking
them about among the vessels in the
harbor or they sell them to the ship
chambers. Sometimes they have per-
mission from wharf-owners or lessees
to stick the anchors up there with a
notice that they are for sale, with the
price stated. AS rule they get very
good prices. New anchors are sold for
five cents a pound now, and the re-
covered old ones seldom suffer a great
er depreciation in value than one cent
a pound. Therefore, for every one
thousand pounds of anchor they cap
ture the fishermen make about forty
dollars, and if the anchor is one of the
very heaviest-a six thousand FOUNDER
their haul nets them about two hun
dred and forty dollars. They seldom take
a monster of that size, however; their
usual capture is between fifteen hun
dred and twenty-five hundred pounds.
There are several reasons for this. In
the first place the lighter anchors are
more generally used; in the second
place it is the sailing vessels which
most often lose their anchors, and, as
a rule, they carry lighter anchors than
steamers, and, in the third place, most
large vessels-whether steam or sail
ing-commonly carry both light and
heavy anchor, and seldom drop the
latter in the harbor or Immediately
off the coast, using it for deeper and
rougher seas. The fact that steam
vessels lose their anchors less FREQUENT

SAFES LIKE BOMBS.
A Chicago Bank Puts In Strong Boxes
That Can't BE Cracked.

One day during the recent riots the
First national bank Of Chicago quietly
put a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. safe in it's
banking rooms. Into it was put good
~ portion of the banks funds for safety
in case the mob got beyond control.
The other day another safe of the same
pattern. though much larger, was put
into the bank. There is Jog" in the
bank wall just back of the vaults. This
was extended a little, and a small
space was thus added to the banks in
terror. This space will be occupied
by the big safe that was just put in.
The safe is composed of two spheres,
one revolving within the other. When
it is closed it is simply an immense
bomb, and it is said to be proof against
the use of explosives. The safe has a
capacity of fifty cubic feet and its
weight is sixteen and half tons. 1t
is said to be the largest safe ever con-
structed. The claim for 1t is that it

The Rupee and the Railway.

The last annual report of the Indian
railway administration shows that in
India there are only 1880 miles of
railway laid down and 10000 sane
toned. Since 1886 the yearly addition
to the mileage has been dropping stead
lily. Then it was 1000 per annum. For
the next four years there was a steady
average of 900. In 1891 it sank to 600
miles This year it is only 42s. The
government, hampered by the vanish
ing rupee, can do nothing or next to
nothing more, though the takings are
lucrative in times of depression.

after looking through it, she said she
wanted five cents worth. The clerk
smiled and said that he could not give
her five cents worth, as they kept only
two-cent stamps. She picked up the
nickel, which she had laid on the coun-
ter, and started toward the door. She
stopped before she had reached it, and
looked around at the clerk, and said:
