Launching n Ship.

Impressive as the launch Of great
vessel always is, it nevertheless seems
simple matter. All there is to do is
to build two toboggan slides under the
ship, raise her from the supports on
which she has been resting, put lot Of
tallow on the slides, and when you
are ready, saw loose the thick plank
that holds the ship by the nose and let
her glide into the water. You must
have the wine to christen her and a
crowd to cheer her, and some tugs to
catch her and bring her back to her
pier, but these are all mere details and
it would seem as if any ship might al
most launch herself if she had half
a chance.
A launch is simply taking ship from
the side of q stream down to the bank
and dropping her in the water where
she belongs. This involves task Of
lifting a mass Of iron, in ship like the
st. Louis, of about 1000 tons, and the
work of lowering it carefully for dis
lance Of from twenty to forty feet. All
this has to be done in the space Of about
thirty seconds, during which tho vessel
moves nearly 600 feet.
At once you can see that this is an
enormous task. 1t involves the great
est responsibility in short time that
the shipbuilder meets. There is no op-
portunity to correct errors. Every me-
chanical appliance must work to per-
lection and the manual details must be
as nicely adjusted as the parts of a
watch. You can launch a vessel as you
can build one, on the rule of thumb, or
the hit-or-miss plan, and you may not
come to grief; but it is best to put all
these things in charge of the master
spirit called science, which has done so
much for our physical advancement in
this world, for then you know that it
will be done ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS st.

WHAT RESERVOIRS DO.
Supply 40 Per Cont of the Water In the
Mississippi.

Supply 40 Per Cont of the Water In the
Mississippi,
Minneapolis Tribune: Comparative
ly few people in Minneapolis realize
that about 40 per cent of the water that
they see in the Mississippi at this point
is water that comes from the govern
ment reservoirs in northern Minneso-
ia. Still less do they realize how much
dependence is placed on these reser-
voirs by navigators, lumbermen and
owners Of mills using water power,
particularly the flour mills. Since
some time last July these reservoirs
have been supplying the water that
goes to make up the big river, and this
week will probably see the end of
their work for this year. 1t is necessary
to keep a certain amount of water back
in the reservoirs, and 1t is understood
that, now that the navigation season is
practically over and the limit has been
reached, the gates Of the reservoirs will
be closed by order Of Col. Jones, the
government engineer. This means
much to the -four mills, as low water
effects all Of them in proportion, and
they will have to depend on their steam
plants from now until the river rises
again.
There are four large reservoirs and a
number Of smaller ones in charge of
Col. Jones, who opens their gates early,
for the primary purpose Of helping
navigation, but incidentally to help
the loggers and mill owners. The flow
Of the water is constant Early in
the season, when the logs are coming
down, the amount Of reservoir water
is nearer 60 per cent than 40. The rise
is felt as far south as Dubuque, Iowa,
and the reservoirs are an immense ben
eft to the steamboat owners. The sup
ply will probably be shut off some time
this week. The water-power compa-
MES and the mill owners expect this.

KEATS AND SHELLEY.
Leigh Hunt Tolls What He Thought OF

Before I end these rambling notes OF

est to mention that once had the pleas

his tender, sympathetic way, "Keats

dear to me. can never forget the
manner in which his genius first i'm
pressed me. OF all men have met he
had most Of the true poetic spirit. Shell
ley was largely politician and q re-
former, Wordsworth a philosopher and
teacher, but Keats was pure poet. In
the midst Of London streets he was in
the thick of the wild woods; in the
woods he never looked at an oak tree
without seeing the dryad He lived
with all those beautiful fancies and
dreams which made the earth orce so
divine a place to the old Greeks. in

respected him, as we'll as loved him,
AT the last, when he was so sensitive,
SO suspicious, so miserably restless,
we all knew it was not q revelation of
his real character, but manifestation
Of his disease"
MY informant told me that once he
was with Hunt when Mary Shelley, nc
companied by her son, visited him. In
the midst of their tender reminis ,ences
he remembered that Hunt spoke Of
Keats, and regretted that he had not
more strenuously taken his part against
his Infamous reviewers. "He DID not
need my help" Hunt would say "for
ne bore the shafts from those coward
ly hunters with smiling courage; and.
indeed, my defense would have hurt his
cause far more than it would have
helped. A few years more, after am
gone, people all over England will be
speaking of Keats aud doing homage to
his rare intellectual qualities. 1nGy

my prophecy, published some time ago,
that he was as true man of genius as
these latter times have seen. one Of
those who are too genuine and original
to be properly appreciated at first, but

would relapse into silence, his eyes
gazing into the distance, as though he

Glouoester,s Annual Story.

There is a little paragraph printed
in the newspapers every fall about this
time that never loses its pathetic sig
nificance. 1t comes under the date Of
Gloucester, Mass, and gives the num-
of Gloucester fishermen lost at sea dur
ing the fishing season in carrying on the
Gloucester cod industry. The number
varies year by year with the varying
mood of the ocean, but the insatiate
monster never relaxes altogether its de-
mand for q tribute of human lives.
This year ninety-two men went out and
never came back. There are doubt
less many other occupations in which,
directly or indirectly, greater number
Of lives are annually sacrificed in car
rying out the relentless business Of the
world; but perhaps there is no other
which strikes SO directly at one little
town, which has resigned itself to send
ing out an annual statement Of its lost
and widowed, and which observes a me-
norlal day ~ the dead as regularly
each year il docs Thanksgiving or

envy of Independent Americanism.
He says that a French scrub
woman's daughter would not so
far degrade herself as to mar
ry a Marlborough, a Castellane, or a
Colona. To think that American girls
will pay millions of dollars for that
which respectable French girls would
not accept as a gift, to this writer's
mind, is a serious reflection on Amerl-
can girls in general, He is evidently
unaware OF the fact that the genuine
American girl is only found in what
some writer's are pleased to designate
as the middle classes. He does not
know that the middle classes so-called
OF American girls look upon tltle-hunt-
ing heiresses as the mere riff-raff Of
that which is real American society.
1t is also possibly true that even an
American scrub woman's daughter
would not so far degrade herself or her
country as to marry for title. The

vomi,. The physicians discovered
a huge lump to the left OF
the stomach. After trying to
remove the lump with a stomach
pump the patient was put under ether
and a cut two inches long made IN the
stomach. Upon inserting the two nm
gers through this hole the physicians
made very startling discovery The
stomach was found to be occupied by q
mass Of rusty nails, many OF them
nearly three inches in length. Some
were very sharp, bent and twisted, and
as consequence they had to be taken
out with the two fingers. When about
half the mass had been removed piece
of matted hair, nearly two inches In
length, was withdrawn from the lower
end of the aesophagus. When the
stomach was finally cleared OF its I'M
usual contents the net results were as
follows: One hundred and nintety-two
nails, the majority being two and one
half inches in length, and many even
longer; half screw nail, piece Oh
brass wire, a carpet tack, several small
pieces of stick, a button, and the mass
Of hair already mentioned. The whole
weighed one pound nine and one-half
ounces.
The wound in the stomach was then
closed, the patient was put to bed be-
tween warm blankets and quarter OF a
grain of morphia was administered hy-
podermically. But in spite of all the
doctors could do the man died four
hours after the operation, which had
lasted two hours.-London Letter.
