and then passes out through the hawsehole
down into twelve fathoms of water, which is
the depth under the 6ghtship's keel. This ca
Die is $50 feet in length, so that of necessity
the greater portion of it lies coiled on the bot
tom in fair weather. The cable is attached to
swivel, from which extends on each side 270
feet OF cable equally heavy, attached in its
turn to two mushroom anchors. This arrange
ment is called bride mooring, and is the
strongest method of anchoring vessel known
to nautical men.
No strain which the ightship could possibly
bring upon these fastenings would be able to
part them. Before being laid the chain was
subjected to direct pull of 100000 pounds.
The probabilities are that no weather has ever
been severe enough to drive the vessel so far
from the bride as to raise the $50 feet of cable
completely off the bottom The cable weighs
200 pounds a fathom, so that it is nearly as
heavy as the ship, to say nothing of the $40
feet of bride chain and the mushroom anchors,
which weigh 1000 pounds apiece.
These anchors, by reason of their peculiar
construction, will not foul, and if the chain
should get underneath them it would merely
trip them and they would sink into the ground
again as soon as they were clear. Once month
the first twenty fathoms of the great mass of
cable is hauled in and the barnacles are cleaned
off and the chain examined.
A new process of extracting gold from ore by
means of bromide has been devised by Herr
Larsen. The difficulty hitherto has been the
cost. A solution of bromide of potassium is
electrolysed, giving an alkaline solution, con-
tanning hypobromide and bromate, which is
capable of dissolving gold. The ore is treated
with excess of this solution by rotating cylin-
ders; the solution is then filtered, the gold pre-
cipitated by passing it over a mixture of iron

UP TO DATE IDEAS.

The old Sandy Hook lightship has been trans
ferred to Cornfeld Point, Conn, and her place
is now occupied by what is probably the finest
lghtship afoat The new vessel throws an
electric beam, and is the only lightship in the
world which is operated by electricity. She
has many novel features, but probably the
most interesting is the manner in which she is
moored, which is described by the New York
World:
The mooring cable, upon which so much de-
ponds, is of enormous strength. There is no
possibility of its breaking. Before the cable
would part the ship would either ride under
the water or be pulled apart The hawsehole
is in the center of the stern, somewhat unus
ual feature, and this is of advantage in help
ing the ship to ride easier to the seas and in
tending to keep her on an even keel.
After leaving the steamwinch the cable is
damned fast to the deck by giant steel cleat,

PERSONATING AN OFFICER.
A Man Using Star for Blackmailing
PURPOSES.

Several complaints were made to police
headquarters last week that man repre-
senting himself as a policeman had been
Matchmaking people in the Western Ad-
dition. The man had a regular officers
star, but how he became possessed of it is
mystery.
On Friday night he went into Chinese
washhouse on Geary and Lyon streets,
showed the star and placed the only occu-
pant of the place under arrest for violating
the laundry ordinance, which prohibits
anv work being done in laundry after 10
P. NJ. The Chinese told him that no work
had been done in the place for some hours,
but the bogus officer was insistent, and Of
fered not to take the laundryman to the
City Prison for a consideration of $40.
Finally he came down to $5, which was
handed to him.
On Saturday morning the laundryman
reported the matter at police headquarters,
and at noon, when the division had as
sembled, he closely scanned each officer,
but said the man was not among them.
The same thing was done at the next
watch, with the same result.
This is no new thing" said Chief
Crowley yesterday. 'tTwo men are now
serving terms in San Quentin for extorting
money from an old Frenchman while per-
sonating an officer. Quite recently man
was arrested for Matchmaking women on
st. Mary street while representing himself
as an officer. 1t may be that these alleged
reformers are employing men to do this
sort OF thing, Just as they got women to go
through the 'tenderloin' district trying to
get officers to accept brides. Any of these
blackmailers who are caught will be
severely punished"

The German poets, Goethe and Schiller,

This movement originated on German

been quietly gathering force until now the
promoters of the monument have made
such progress as to feel confident of ulti-
mate success. The German-American pop

contribute to this expression in the pride

Adulterating Coffee.
from Good Housekeeping, ]

The total consumption of this COM
forting substance for the year ending
June so, 1892, i'm the United States, was
1928, 769, 046 pounds. The price in 1885,
based on its declared value at the point
of export, was Is cents; in 1890, l6
cents; in 1891, 10 cents; and in 1852, 20
cents. This enormous consumption
and high price have called out no end
of "coffee compounds" "coffee sub
stitutes," cereal coffees," imitation
coffee beans,n etc., etc. None of the
substances used as coffee adulte rants
are poisonous and probably none of
them injure health. The New York
health authorities in 1895 made thor
ough investigation of the whole coffee
question, examining more than 1900
samples gathered from all parts of the
state. Most of that sold already ground
was adulterated, the chiefest ingredient
being chicory, of which the annual inn
portation is 100000 pounds, at the
average price of two cents per pound.
One sample of "American Mocha" was
made of roasted cereals probably large
ly rye, peas, cocoa bulls, chicory, and
no coffee. "French breakfast" was
largely of cereals, no coffee, and Ameri-
can Java ditto, and the manufacturers
advertisement says: Zone china coffee
cup and saucer given away with each
pound of the American Java coffee. !"
At wholesale these "coffees" are sold
at five and one-half cents the pound.
French breakfast has the word COM
pound printed in most inconspicuous
type. AS many as 20 or 30 of these
cheats are as well known to the trade
as the up. D.' in spices, but there is
still a lower deep.
The following published in the Bull
tin No. 32, Division of Chemistry of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, says: "Counterfeit coffee is the
latest addition to adulterants. 1t is a
manufactured bean, identical in APP
pearance with genuine green or roasted
coffee and dealers in Philadelphia have
lately been flooded with it. 1t is al
most impossible to detect the fraud
with the eye. 1t. is apparently a hard
baked composition, nodded by machi-
merry in the same manner as druggists
pills. 1t is very hard and gritty, and
not as easily broken as the genuine.
Having little or no taste or Odor, its sole
mission is to increase the bulk and
weight of the regulation article, and
this it does, its weight being more than
double that of the legitimate bean.
The machinery has capacity for turn
ing out immense numbers of the beans"
The agent who advertises asks the
dealer to send a sample of the exact
shade of "roast" he would like, and it
is the testimony of experienced retail
ers that immense amounts of it are
cold
