Tho Storage is Something Tremendous

Tho Storage Ia Something Tremendous
and Requires Careful Packing.
To watch the loa ding of grain, either
from an elevator or n lighter, into one
of the mammoth vessels engaged in
its transportation, is to witness one of
the chief operations in the uovem ent
of the worlds commerce. 1t Is carried
in long pipes, with a funnel-sLaped
movable appendage at the end, which
is shifted by means of rope from one
part Of the hold to another, according
as the stream of grain fills mp the
spaces reserved for it. The grain flows
into the vessel with the noise and
velocity of Il torrent, and sends a
dense volume of dust and chaff up
ward, o,scuring the depths beneath
and making the men attending the
stowage below look like ghosts in the
rising mist.
The "trimminE'' Of the grain in the
holds is an important part of its stow
age. After several thousand bushels
have streamed into the hold. Il dozen
or more men are delegated to shovel
the downpouring column in between
the vessels beams, Il job for which they
are paid at the rate of one cent a min
ute. In vessels of the Cunard stripe it
takes between 12, 900 and II, 900 bushels
to fill hold. and these vessels average
so, 600 bushels in the total cargo. Ships
carrying grain alone can take as high
as 125, 900 bushels, and when it is con-
sidercd that from 1000 to 1000 bushels
can be stored in an hour, every forty
bushels weighing a ton. an idea can be
had of the force Of the torrent directed
into the vessel
Large vessels have four or five holds,
and a distinction is made in storing the
cargo in them. Grain. from its COM
pact and dead weight. is reserved
mostly for the center of the vessel
while cured provisions are pa ked as
far forward and as far aft as possible
for their better preservation from tl-e:
heat of the ships fires. In some yes
sells, like the great Cunarders. which
carry passengers we'll as freight,
the heaviest weight is stored in the
lowest hold: this is to steady the YES.

of the county candidate for Coroner of ire
proachable character; a physician prominent
among the medical profession and of many
years practice, and an upright and honorable
citizen. He is consistent and aggressive
Republican, and is in every way the peer of
his opponent The Democratic nominee for
this Office is perfect gentleman and a physi-
clan of acknowledged ability, but this fact
does not justify any Republican in giving him
complimentary vote, Itis by this means he
hopes to be elected, and to avoid that it is the
duty of Republicans to vote their ticket from
top to bottom. 1t is the boast of the Demo-
cratic candidate that he never scratches his
ticket even in borough elections, and the Re
publicans of this section of the county should
follow his example in that respect at this
