A LAUGHABLE MISTAKE.

Two ladies entered bookstore recent
ly and the younger asked the clerk for
a book called "F'avorite Prescription"
The puzzled attendant was unable to
comply with her request and she left the
store disappointed. Inquiry ellcted the
fact that she had overheard conyer-
sation between two literary ladies In
which "Favorlte Prescription" was mem
toned with extravagant praise, and had
jumped to the conclusion that 1t was a
book. She now knows that DR.. Plerce's
Favorite Prescription is a sovereign cure
for the ills and "weaknesses' peculiar

The Philadelphia Commercial List and
Price Current of June 1 says The prac-
ticabllty of towing large vessels at sea
by a steel wire hawser instead Of the
MANILA rope has been fully demonstrated
by the Shaw & Spiegle steam towing
machine, manufactured by the American
Ship WlndIass company of Providence,
R. 1. The principle and mode of work.
ing of this machine are as follows The
resistance of the tow barge is borne en-,
tirely by the steam pressure in the cylin-
ders. The wire hawser is wound on a
drum that is driven by a pinion gear on
the crank shaft of the eng ne, which
meshes with the gear on the drum shaft
This machine has a regulating, reduc-
ing steam valve, in which the opening
is increased or diminished according
as the strain on the hawser Increases OF
minishes. The action of the machine
is as follows: In seaway as the vessel
pays off, thus increasing the strain on
the hawser, the dunn begins to revolve
and to pay out the hawssr; this action
opens the regulating valve and increases
the steam pressure in the cylinders until
the pressure is sufficient to equal the
strain; then If the strain decreases on
the hawser, the pressure in the cylinders
will revolve the drum and wind the
hawser in; in this way the machine is
prevented from paying out the whole of
the hawser, and only enough is paid out
TO relieve the extra and momentary strain
on the hawser and thus prevent its IN
jury, or its breaking. When the tow
barge casts off the hawser, then the regu-
lating valve Is disconnected, and the ma
chine becomes in effect a simple hoist.
ing drum to be started to wind up the
hawser. The receivers of the Phlladel-
phia e. Reading railroad, after careful
inquiry into the best mode of towing

introduce the Shaw & Spe.gle machine.
The steamer has made three trips since

ton, "the machine will do everything
but TALK The steamer Lebanon with
this new apparatus Is able to tow three
barges, each of 15OO tons capacity, max
ing a total delivery by the feet, includ-
ing the Lebanons cargo of $500 tons.
By the use of the steel hawser, instead
of the MANILA one formerly used, the
economies are sufficiently great to pay
for the machine In two years, while all
danger of the parting of the hawser and
loss of barges Is avoided, and there also
being no possibility of fouling with the
propeller. There is no doubt that the sue.
cess Of this machine on the Lebanon wll
induce large number of towboat own
ers IN this locality to introduce 1t on
their boats.

The Chilian government has at last
seriously undertaken the work OF light
ing the Straits OF Magellan, and have de-
cided To attempt to erect a lighthouse
on one OF the small islands of the Evan
gelists. The delay in building has arisen
from the difficulty OF approaching the
pos tion of the site Of the proposed light
house. difficulties that the builders
hav9 ITO encounter may be imagined from
the following extract from a Gillian
paper, FL MagalLanes, of April Z: The
Yanez arrived on Monday last from port
Forty Days in Queen Adelaide archi-
pelago. She left Point Arenas on Feb.
25, towing the schooner Maria Teresa.
There had been very severe weather,
which HAS absolutely prevented her put-
ting into the small island Of the Evan,
gelists on which the lighthouse is 10 Do
situated. On the Sth of March she ar
rived In Port Forty Days, and on the
evening of that day dfsembar1ed on a
small island the animals which she
brought for the provision Of fresh meat.
On the 10th she went to Port Pacheco in
order to bring to Forty Days the timber
which had remained there since last year,
and which was got with great difficulty.
placing the dead weights which had been
brought for the purpose of mooring the
Yanez and the MART Teresa to them
On the 14th she made another trip to
Port Racheco to bring another cargo OF
timber. On the subsequent days they
made some examination of the adjacent
straits to Forty Days while at the same
time the workmen brought from Point
Arenas were occupied in erecting huts
for dwellings, and for storage of the ma
terlals for the lighthouse. Excepting one
or two moments there has been terrible
weather-squalls, winds, Lightning, snow,
etc. For this reason 1t has been impos-
sible for them even to think Of proceed> |
ing to Los Evangelists in order to place
the foundations and the crane for rails

much strength of will to overtake the |
duty and to face the innumerable diff |
culties which have obstructed and will

fills his tremendous commission of in

We say tremendous commission because
1t is necessary 10 know these regions and
the weather prevailing there to under
stand what dangers are run and the
sacrifices the colossal work will demand.
But we doubt not that eventually the
light of this lighthouse will be one of
the great maritime works of the whole
world.

But the finest colonial houses, such
as were built by the governors and
