Fun With Sea Turtles.

ST am reminded, " said an old coast
ing captain. 3'of an experience once
had with sea turtles on the edge of the
gulf stream, about so miles from Hat
teras. / was part owner and captain
of the Mary Lyle at that time and was
coming up from Savannah with a half
cargo of rice, when one morning the
lookout yelled to me to come up on deck
and look at the sea turtles. When L got
up and looked over the rail, the whole
ocean, as far as I could see ahead of us,
was covered with turtles. They were
tremendous fellows and were padding
along lazily in the opposite direction to
that in which we were going
''It didn't take US long to rig up a
windlass and tackle and begin pulling
some of the old fellows aboard. We
picked the biggest, as they came, and
in the course of three hours we had
caught 26, about all that we could
handily dispose of about the ship. Only
nine of them lived until we reached
New York, and we sold them for good
prices. The shell of one that weighed
40 pounds is now in front of an eating
house on Houston street. New York. L
would hate to say how many turtles
We're in sight of the Mary Lyle that day
for fear somebody might think | was
fish EARNING, but they came by Us stead
.ly for five hours, and when we got
we'll into the school it extended as far
as the eye could reach ON all sides, and
there was a turtle to about every 40
square feet OF water, and l didn't see
one that weighed less than $50 pounds p"

Wire Wound Pipes.

An important change is to be noted
in engineering practice-namely that
of winding steam pipes over inches in
diameter with three-sixteenths inch cop
per wire, thus nearly doubling the burst
ing pressure in the case of merchant
steamers using high pressure steam. 1t
is found that, as with the wire wound
gun, wire Of square section coiled round
the pipe under tension adds enormously
to the strength, and the results of some
tests have showed that wired pipe
stands just about the pressure it ought
to have stood when unwired had the
copper not been injured i'll the brazing.
To obviate the risks OF careless brazing
and enable the thickness Of sheet copper
forming the pipe to be reduced to
minimum, at the same time that full
advantages of wire winding is secured,
an improved system of manufacturing
steam pipes has been notwithstanding
even closer analogy to the wire gun
than the usual system of wire winding
and consists III using copper of the
thinnest practicable guage to form the
interior to the core of the pipe. The
body of the pipe proper is composed of
steel wire wound closely around the
core, the interstices being filled i'll solid
with copper by new system of copper

AN ASYLUM BURNED.
Two Lives Lost In the Destruction OF New

Sage, the engineer of the institution, and
his wife, who acted as lauudrcss.
The fire was discovered in the basement.
1t spread with almost incredible rapidity,
owing to the high winds and scarcity of
water and before help could be summoned
the entire building WAS filled with smoke
and flames. Sixteen helpless and well nigh
ldiotic children slept on the lower floors,
and fora time it seemed as if nothing short
of miracle could possibly save them. In
the upper floors were about the same num-
Der Of adults.
just 1T the critical moment help came,
and duHrn brave men, headed by Angus
tus Spepr, IA stagcdriver, broke down the
doors and rushed into the burning build
ing, rracuing the children at the imminent
risk of their own lives and carried to a
place of safety through the bitter cold
winds the women who had slept in the
upper floors.
1t was thought that all had been saved,
when the white and terror stricken faces
of Sage and his wife appeared at a window
in the third floor, aud their voices were
heard crying piteously for help. At Il
time when it seemed as if they would
surely be saved both disappeared from the
window and We're seen no more. The
flames swept on, completely cutting the
building. The bodies of the unfortunates
Were found at the foot of the stairway

died before an ambulance arrived from St

He lay on his face when found and had Il
handkerchief in his left hand, as if he had
attempted to stop the flow of blood from a
cut on the bridge of the nose, which was
probably due to his fall
One of the pockets of his trousers was
turned half inside out There was IA chain
about his neck, the ends hanging inside
the vest. The watch, if he had one, was
gone. Only Sl.36 and some memoranda
were found in his pockets.
1t is known that he drank nothing in the
Cosmopolitan hotel. Every one connected
with Paige's hotel, at the door of which he
fell, is certain that he had not been in the
bar there. But an examination of the
stomach developed traces of whisky, and
he had probably taken small quantity to
counteract the chill of which he complaint
ed earlier in the day.
1t is possible that the little liquor Mr..
