MULES ON sHIPBoARp.
No Love for Life on the Ocean and
Sailors Don't Like Them.

From the san Francisco call
Quite recently Hawaii has created a
demand for mules. Every vessel that
sails for the islands takes down a deck
+ load of Jacks to be worked on the sugar
plantations and as common carriers. An
( able seaman and mule do not as a usual
I thing get along very well together, and
! there is generally kicking above and be-
| lOW decks when a crew is shipped on
vessel upon whose manifest these stub
| born beasts are enumerated In bold,
round hand.
salt water don't agree with a mule
any more than fresh water agrees with
sailor. - declared a coast seaman Of eX-
perience. "As you are aware, the mule
objects to going on board Of a ship from
the very start, and usually requires a der
rick and half-a-dozen men to coerce him.
But there is one thing very strange in
connection with a mule. I've never
known of a vessel being boarded by high
sea so long as deckload of mules was on
her"
How does a mule act at sea-"
We'll, that is a hard question to an
swer Every mule has different man
ner Of conducting himself during an ocean
voyage. Naturally enough, a mule
doesn't know the difference between a
SOu'weSt gale and the trade winds. He is
just as liable to raise a disturbance when
the ship is in dead calm as he is to re-
main as docile as a chunk of pork in
cask when all hands are thinking about
taking to the lifeboats
IF you feed mule too mnch at sea he
is apt TO get gay. And then it is that the
for'castle hands begin to growl. Chatter
ing hoofs and the braying of a dozen asses
do not improve a sailors temper, and
usual the mules have to be placed on
short rations
When ship rides heavily and plunges
it is funny 10 see the Jacks try to stand
with their heads toward the bow and
their tails toward the stern. In this way
they can play candlestick, with the YES
sci for seesaw.
One time ! shipped in a vessel that
had a load of mules on board. We met
with misfortune on our outbound trip.
There was young sailor on board named
Morris, who wasn't much of a seaman.
One dark night when Morris
was taking a trick at the wheel, a
mule got away from the deck corral in
some unaccountable manner, and started
off on tour of investigation.
morris was watching the bulging cam
vas overhead and dreaming of home His
thoughts were far away from the howl
ing of the wind and the swishing of waters
alongside. Suddenly two long ears APP
preached, pointing toward his face, and
two blinking bright eyes looked into his
own. Then from an invisible source came
a sound that would have warned the dead.
Morris dropped the wheel and went over
the rail like a sinker. We never saw him
again.
The ship preached to and fell into the
trough of the sea. The officer on watch
rush to the wheel, and when he got there
discovered the mule that had got loose
looking knowingly IN the pinnacle"

AsToNIsHED ISLANDERS.
The Camera and Photograph Used
to Induce Kanaka Emigration.

From the Sidney IN. w. s. Mail.
When one of the Australian squadron
was patroling the South seas lately, she
came up with sailing vessel, and one of
her officers boarded the stranger. She
proved to be a colonial craft, engaged in
recruiting Kanakas for the Queensland
plantations. On board the naval officer
noticed photograph. He was told that
before the vessel left Queensland the cap
tain visited some of the sugar plantations
where South Sea Islanders are employed
He took camera and a monograph, and
then went into the business of Photograph
ing groups of natives on the plantations
also taking individual pictures of we'll
known natives from the New Hebrides
and others from the Solomon group.
Edison's invention was then brought
into service, the best known of the
natives, especially those who have rel
atiYes and friends in the islands, being
asked to speak into the photograph any
thing they would like to tell their friends
Large numbers of these photograph let
tiers were procured, giving accounts of
what sort of life the kanakas were hav-
ing on the plantations and any other news
that would interest the "old folks at
home at Mallicollo, Ambrym, San
Christoval, Malaita and other islands
After securing good supply the ingeni-
Gus shipmaster sailed for the islands, and
when last seen, was astonishing the ma
tives. Many Of the photographs he had
transferred to glass for use with the lime
light, and with the photographs and the
photograph he was in position to give
such an exhibition of life on planta-
tion as fairly changed the native doubts
into an enthusiastic desire to emigrate.
Nor was this all. At the lime light
show he would produce full-sized pict-
ure OF an absent friend, native who
was well known in the island in which
the shipmaster happened to be, and to the
ama2emeut of his dusky audience, would
make him speak words of greeting from
his plantation home in Bundaberg-a
Thousand miles away If any misgivings
were felt before the monograph was pro-
duced, that bewitched machine dispelled
them by making the lime light figure OF
their friend address the natives in their
own tongue, and in the same voice that
they knew so well when he dwelt among
them. Needless TO say, the photograph
has proved valuable recruiting aces
sory.s

MISS BEATRICE HARRApEN.
The Author of ''ships That Pass in
the Night"
From the New York sun


z On little white bed in the low-ceil.
inged room of an old-fashioned house
high up on the cheek Of the hill between
4onkers and Tuckahoe, lies a young
woman frail of form and pale of face.
Her black hair is wavy and it is cut short.
She has deep brown eyes aud a sensitive
mouth, and her expression is distinctly
intellectual From where she lies she
can catch glimpse of the sound, a blue
streak on the high horizon line to the
street; she can see the ships sailing up
ana down. On the other hand she can
see the Palisades jutting up beyond undu-
lating hills.
This young woman is Miss Beatrice
Harraden, whom most people know as
the author of ships That Pass in the
Night, the Physiological tale that has
put her name before the public IN two
continents. She arrived here on the
steamship Berlin on Tuesday afternoon,
and since then has been at the country
home of her friend, DR. T. H. White and
his wife. On the voyage over she was so
quiet and retiring that hardly one in ten
OF her fellow passengers knew that she
was ABOARD; even fewer knew that in the
deIcate, 1nconsequential little English
woman they were elbowiug a parsonage.
80 1t has been, too, since her foot touched
the pier in disem barking. She has letters
Of presentation to many people from
common friends in England, but none of
them has yet seen her.
1t may be because of her delicate
health, although it is equally likely that
her dlstaste for notOriety and being made
much of has been the cause of her seclu-
sion. Upon the steamers arrival she had
nothing TO say to the reporters, and she
lntlmated that she would have nothing to
IL 4 = l.
lutte rest, she declared, and she intend
ed to have it.
When a Sun reporter called at DR.
Whites Tuckahoe home Miss Harraden
sent down from her bedroom this mes
sage:
My compliments, and it is absolutely
impossible for me to see you. do not
want to be interviewed, and there is
nothing for me to be interviewed on. any,
way. 1 shall stay here only few days,
and then intend to 90 TO California to pass
the summer with some English friends
who live at San Diego / can't say any
timing ABOUT how / ike America, for
don't know anything about the country
| was dreadfully seasick on the voyage
over, and haven't got over it yet"
Miss Harraden,' said DIR. White to
the reporter, lis a very frail, nervous
little woman, and she is for the moment
used up, just as any other person of her
temperament would be after long jour
ney. She has a decided objection to talk
ing about herself. She has never sub
mitted to an interview, and probably she
never will, although once a newspaper
man in London had a short talk with her
He misrepresented her. She doesn't see
why people want to know how and when
she did this and that and the why and
wherefore of what she has written. She
looks upon all such queries as foolish and
irrelevant.

TELEPHoNING TO MARS.
Signaling Across Space Without the
Assistance of Intervening Wires.

Signaling Across Space Without the
Assistance of Intervening Wires.
From the Blackburn ENG Times.
w. H. Preece, engineer to the tele-
graphs department of the postof1ce, read
a paper on Electric Signaling Without
Wires" before the Society of Arts in Lon
don, his purpose being to show how we
are gradually approaching the time when
we shall be able to make practical use of
the electric waves. For ten years Mr..
Preece has been steadily investigating
the subject of signaling through space,
which he finds very fascinating. His ex-
periments have proved the effects he sub
seQuently describes to be due primarily
to radiation and not to conduction.
When the royal commission to inquire
into electric communication between the
shore and the lighthouse was appointed
in June, 1892, the opportunity arose for
testing the theory of signaling without
wires. The Bristol channel proved a
very convenient locality to test the prac-
ticability of communicating across a
distance of three and five miles Two
islands, the Flatholm and the Steepholm,
lying near Cardif, the former having a
lighthouse upon it, were used for the ex-
periments. The object of the ex-
periments was not only to test
the practicability of signaling be-
tween the shore and the lighthouse.
but to differentiate the effects due to
earth conduction from those due to electro
magnetic induction, and to determine the
effects in water. There was no difficulty
in communicating between the shore and
the Flatholm. The distance between the
two places was three miles The attempt
to speak between Lavernock and the Steep
holm was not so successful the distance
was five miles, but the signals were per-
ceptible. 1t is something to be able to re-
port, Mr.. Preece observes, that we have
now acquired practical system of signal
ing across space without using wires.
Speaking of the possibilities of the
future, the lecturer remarked that,
though he had confined himself to de-
scription of a simple practical system of
communicating across terrestrial space,
'one cannot help specializing as to what
may occur through planetary space
Strange, mysterious sounds are heard on
all long telephone lines when the earth is
used as a return, especially in the calm
stiffness of the night. Earth currents
are found in telegraph circuits, and the
aurora borealis lights up our northern
sky when the suns philosophers is dis
turbed by spots. The suns surface must
at such times be violently disturbed by
electric storms and, If oscillations are
set up and radiated through space in
sympathy with those required to affect
telephones, it is not wild dream to say
that we may hear on this earth thun-
der stvrm in the sun. If any of the
planets be populated with beings like
ourselves, having the gift of language and
the knowledge to adopt the great forces of
nature to their wants, then, if they could
oscillate immense stores of electrical en-
ergy to and fro in telegraphic order it
would be possible to hold commune by
telephone with the people of Mars"
