A Widely Known Wood Pile.


There is a wool pile in Lead City,
South Dakota, widely known through
out the Black Hills mining region. 1t
belongs TO the Homestake Gold Min
ing Company, and is composed of
timbcrs about the size of railroad ties,
which are used in supporting the walls
and roofs of the drifts and tunnels of
the mines. A narrow gauge railway
brings the logs, which have been
sawed flat on two sides, to n point on
the mountain slope about 600 feet
above the valley, and they are then
thrown into a wooden chute about
three feet wide and two feet deep. The
inside surface is kept smooth and
slippery by small stream of water.
II the logs we're allowed TO run di-
rectly to the ground they would speed
lily excavnte an enormous hole besides
damaging themselves, so the lower end
of the chute is curved upward and the
logs leave 1t at an angle of about sixty
degrees with the horizontal and rise
from 80 to 200 feet in the air, turning
over and over, and finally landing on
the enormous pile already there. A
useful fact in connection with this
method is that the logs sort them
selves in the pile according to their
size; the heavier ones having greater
momentum are all found at the side
farthest away from the chute. New

A Pleasant rennl COLONY.

Life In the French penal colony at
New-Caledonia has been pictured as
so agreeable, both by reason of the
climate as well as the leniency with
which convicts have been treated, that
transportation seems to have lost most
of its terrors. Criminals do not con-
ceal their preference for long sent
ence in the beautiful Pacific island to
n much shorter term with hard labor
in one of the penitentiaries at home,
and when perpetrating misdeed have
sought MS rule to render their offence
as serious as possible, so as to entail
transportation if captured. 1t is with
a view of putting an end to this senti-
ment that the French Government has
now decided to stop sending convicts
to New-Calidonia, and is making ar
rangements to deport them instead to

Be Reached Hereafter
Twenty years ago it was thought by
many that tbs, limit as to size, speed
and economy had been reached. At pres.
eDt it seems that the draft of water at
the harbors and the cost are the limits
that will prevent further development
on present lines. With different ma
terial for construction, with liquid fuel,
and other improvements or inventions,
it is possible that 20 years from now
one may look back at the Lucania with
her 81. 6 knots as We look back on the
GermauiU and Britannia of 1874 with
their 16 knots
The steam pressures on ocean steam
ers up to 1850 did not exceed 20 pounds.
With the earlier vessels, with only
to 10 pounds of steam, it was possible
to stop leak in a boiler ''by pushing a
sag ill the hole. :" As late as 1916
prominent firm of engine builders IN
England stated that from 10 to ~
pounds was what they used for mer-
chant vessels. By 1880 pressure had in
creased to from 90 to so pounds, and on
the Introduction of steel for boilers pres
sures went up to about 100 pounds by
1855, and now boilers are being built,
for large steamers, to carry 200 pounds.

The Ericsson machinery weighs only

with the water in the boilers, was l, 96l
