wind and battered by the seas, and in
her long and lonely drifting she has
covered more than 10, 900 miles. When
last seen she was still in good condi-
tion, although the fantastic growth OF
seaweed with which she is covered
made her ghostly looking craft.
While this dismantled and abandoned
hulk produced naturally more or less
anxiety in the minds of shippers who
may be passing through the seas
where, she is adrift, there is no evi-
dence that she has done any damage.
The Fannie E. Wolston, lumber
laden, from Satills, Ga, was abandoned
by her skipper and crew 100 miles
southeast of Cape Henry, October Is,
1891. Since that date she has been
seen and reported forty-six times by
passing vessels. In her eccentric
course since she has zigzsgged back
and forth over the Atlantic, having
drifted once down into the Sargasso
Sea, and brought back from that
graveyard of the derelicts a covering
of matted sea grasses and Gulf weeds,
which clung to her sides when this
picture was taken. The cut, says the
New York Tribune, is from a photo.

A Great Coal Breaker.

The great Maxwell breaker, recent
ly completed at Ashley, Penn, will,
in short time, be started up for reg
ular work. Tests made day or two
ago show beyond doubt that this is
nearer the ideal coal plant than any
structure of it's use and purpose in
the entire anthracite region. The ca
pacity of the breaker is far greater,
and the machinery notable improve
ment over any that has ever been put
inside breaker.
The most notable feature is the ma
chinery for screening and cleaning the
coal, which haspatent contrivances so
arranged that the slate and bony coal
will drop into receptacles by force of
gravity, allowing the good coal to
pass on to the crushers. These appli-
ances have never before been used in
the anthracite region, but recent and
thorough tests have demonstrated
that they will do all that is expected
of them.
The result of all this will be that
the breaker boy, who is 80 important
a figure in the coal trade, will disap-
pear from it. A breaker like the new
Maxwell would employ 200 or 800 of
these boys, and their earnings 60 far
toward helping out the scanty pittance
that the father earns inside the mine.
The appliance will cheaper the price
of production of ton of coal, and
thus, while it will work distress to a
few poor families in the coal region,
it will inure to the advantage of the
average poor consumer of coal.
Another significant improvement in
the new breaker is directly in line
with the exhaustive research of coal
men for the past half dozen years, and
that is the almost complete saving OF
the smaller sizes of coal. This has
been principal subject of discussion
at nearly all the great gatherings of
coal men, and the successful solving
of the problem will mean revolution
in some branches of the coal industry.
The breaker contains 8, ,000,0 900 feet of
lumber and costs $3.50, 900. 0.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

A Province Oyerrun With Mice.

One Of the most unpleasant places
in this world to live in just at pres.
ent, according to Russian papers, is
the Province of kharkoff, in the land
of the Gear. The country is now
overrun with mice-millions of mice.
The cats have become SO accustomed
to the sight of the little animals that
they no longer catch them or even
play with them. They are said to be
O greater pest than the rabbits were
in Australia few years ago. Pro-
visions for the table, candles, soap,
books, shoes-everything, in fact, is
eaten up by the animal in the night
time. The furniture, even, is not
spared. Sleep for many of the poor
inhabitants has become almost impos-
sible. All of them, virtually, have
been obliged to place their beds in
the middle Of the rooms. Some of
them, even, have been forced to sleep
with their feet in basins of water
the Russians of that district believing
that mice will not touch person so
sleeping. If these precautions are
not followed the mice dancea genuine
sssaraband" on the recumbent figures
and on the bed, and even bite the
sleepers.
Almost all the wheat has been de-
stroyed. A number of wealthy wo-
men-landed proprietors-have been
obliged to abandon their homes, and
have gone to st. Petersburg to get
away from the scourge, for such it
has become. In the fields the mice
are 30 numerous that men kill two or
three hundred in Ave or ten minutes.

THE GREAT ARCHITECT.

You have no plan concerning this dead
earth beneath our feet. but by and by there
drops into it q living seed the seed whispers
to the dead earth, and the earth has sense
enough to surrender itself to the living seed; |;
and the seed catches hold Of it and builds it
up into beautiful symmetry which it would
not have obtained had 1t not yielded itself to
the seed that had plan. The architect has
plan in his busy brain; it is the business OF
the raw material to yield itself to the archj-
tect that it may more and more rise to the
beautiful symmetrical beauty expressing the
thought of God. That which is planless must
always yield to that which has plan. Ihat
surging confused army of men that ran down
= from Winchester, surprised by. the attack
upon them OF the enemy, was quieted by the
only man who had q plan, and who came
down among them and brought victory out
of defeat. Whenever a man is without
plan. ne is always the subject OF man who
has strong, steady purpose. So when God
comes to human hearts and whispers, 1t is
we'll for that soul to ask II it is O wise plan,
and then listen to the One whose plan always
strengthens the soul of any man.-O. 2. Gif~

reporter with this attachment will be
able to turn out his copy ready for the
printer without having to resort to
notes. By simple arrangement the
operator throws out couple Of pro-
jecting arms to steady the bicycle

The idea is presumably to use this

vers of an army or something similar.
