A New Drag Anchor.

i. NJ. Furman, practical seaman has
invented a drag or sea anchor which COM
bines both simplicity and efficiency and
will doubtless be adopted by seagoing yes
sells
1t is large bag, made Of strong canvas,
attached to an iron ring about ten feet in
diameter This drag is put over the
weather bow Of the vessel, with several
hundred feet of rope and permitted 70 sink
about IL or / . feet below the surface OF
the water This is easily regulated by a
small buoy attached to the drag with line
of that length The canvass bag sinks be-
low the base of the waves, consequently
the rollers, which drive the vessel leeward,
have no effect upon the drag, which, filed
with water, keeps the ship head on to the
sea constantly. The vessel cannot fall of,
and it is safe to say that had the Colima
had this simple contriyance the frightful
disaster might have been averted.
When it is desired to pull the drag
aboard, the Gripping lines, which run
through small rings on the iron frame and
around the bag, are pulled. This draws
the canvas into "a small compass, turning
the whole oontrivanoe sidewise and causing
1t to be easily hauled through the water
up to the surface and then to the bow Of
the vessel When not spread, it is so small
that it may be lowered over the side of the
ship in the har. est blow, as it is simply
taken up by hand and thrown into the sea,
when It opens and begins to pull on the
bow Of the steamer. -TSan francisco Call.

mission show That the reptiles cannot long
escape practical determination Already
they are becoming scarce, and the price of
hides has gone up.
1t is estimated that 2, 500, 900 alligatOrs
were killed in Florida between 1880 and
1894. In 1889 three firms, located at ks
simmee for the purpose Of buying skins
taken in the region between Lake Kissim-
NEE and Lake Okeechobee, handled 3d. 600
hides During the same year - hunters
brought to Fort Pierce 1000 polts. Two
firms in Jacksonville handled 30, 900 skins
in 1889. A few years ago an expert hunt
er could easily secure 600 alligatOrs in
three weeks, and one man at Cocoa killed
~ in one night. The skins are paid for in
provisions and ammunition mainly Deal
ers get 90 cents apiece for them from tan
ners in New York.
In 1890 about $50 pounds Of alligator
teeth were sold, hunters receiving from 81
TO 81 pound for them. They are remov-
ed by hurying the heads and rotting out
tho teeth. OF tho best teeth about 20
make a pound. The stufllng Of alligatOrs
and the polishing Of the teeth give employ
ment to 40 persons. Unfortunately ALI
gators grow very slowly. At Is years Of
age they arc only feet long. A II footer
may be supposed reasonably TO be 20 years
old. 1t is believed that they grow as long
as they live, and probably they live lon
ger than any other animals. Washington

A Geneva matchmaker is now engaged
in spending all his spare time in per-
fecting a wonderful speaking watch. J"
His idea is to make chron0meter which
will call out the hours and half hours
instead Of ringing a bell as do clocks
and some of the modern high priced
watches. It is said that he has devoted
much patient labor and study to his in
vcntion and that the speaking attachment
is now almost complete. Tho hour caller
in this unique timepiece is miniature
photograph, and on account Of its having
to use so many different words is very
complicated Us well as wonderfully minute
apparatus A speaking watch would
certainly be a curiosity, but we fail TO see
wherein 1t would DO Of practical utility

The abandoned telegraph line which the
Western Union Telegraph company set
about establishing through Alaska about
80 years ago is to be revived, the company
deciding that there is sufficient business
to warrant its construction. The line will
be built to Forty Mile creek, on the Yukon,
and branches will run to Sitka and .Iu-
neau, thus putting Alaska in touch with
the world. The plan 80 years ago was to
construct a line through Alaska, by way
Of Boring strait to Siberia, and thence to
St. Petersburg Before the line had been
finished to Alaska the success Of the At
lantic cable made the transsiberian line
unnecessary. One Of the principal diff
oulties tho telegraph encountered was from
bears which took the telegraph poles for
bee trees, and the humming of the wires
as the sound of disturbed bees. They tore
down many poles in their active search for
the honey supposed TO be concealed in that
region, and the enterprise Of carrying the
telegraph to that far region may be found
more difficult to accomplish than is now

The goose plant, ono of natures
strange and marvellous productions, is the
most rare and unique botanical oddly
known to the naturalists. Its home is in
the superheated ooze Of the Amazon river
swamps and but one specimen Of it, that
exhibited at the Worlds fair two years
ago, has ever been seen on the North
American continent. 1t is so scarce that
even in Brazil it is considered wonder Of
wonders, and those who were fortunate
enough to get a glimpse Of the specimen
In the jackson park collection may con-
gratulate themselves ON having seen some
thing that would have been a first class
surprise to a native Anazonian. The
"geese" which grow on this remarkable
plant are real geese, as far as appearances
go. In the full grown plant they have
well formed bodies Of goosely size, shape
and color, breasts apparently formed to
stem buffeting waves and neoks and heads
which so exactly initiate those of o real
goose as to almost make animated nature
ashamed of herself.
During the time Of the fair the jackson
park goose plant only had one goose and a
couple of goslings growing upon 1t, but
since it has been removed to the Washing
ton park greenhouse there have been sew
eral additions to tho family, there being
now five or six full grown geese and twice
that many goslings.-St. Louis Republic

Yes, yes. In all these cities and amid
the Towering western prairios and on the
slopes Of the Pacific and amid the Sierras
and on the banks Of the lagoon and on the
ranches of Texas there is an uncounted
multitude who, this hoUr, stand and sit and
kneel with their windows open toward

on the heather Of the Scottish hills. some
of them were driven out by Irish famine.
Some of them in early lifA drilled in the

A man Of the name Of Bessonotte Of
Temple Tex, has invented process Of
COMPRISING cotton which, it is estimated
will save to the south sag, 900, 600 annual
~ Imagine, if you please, a cotton bale
so dense and SO well covered that a fire
may BIO built upon it without causing cal
culable damage; also imagine a bale SO
packed rs to occupy much less room than
an ordinary compressed bale, yet not need
any ties to keep It in shape. Imagine sur-
Their a bale which contains no moisture, no
air and nothing but COTTON, and So IN
pact as to be Ikea block Of hard wool Ito
which nails can be driven the same as II
it were wood.
The cotton, according to the Bessonette
process, is ginned into bats wound on
iron spindles, pressed down upon the spin
die by revolving cylinder with any re-
quired pressure, and then wrapped with
cotton duck, something after the style of
the wrapping of cigar. Cotton duck
cups are placed over the ends Of the cylin-
der of cotton after the spindle is with
drawn, and strands Of wire passed around
the ends of the cylinder hold the caps in
place. No iron bands are used, as the way
the cotton batting is wound ON the spindle
retains the full force Of the oompressage.
The duck is to protect the outside of the
cylinder Of cotton from Tuscaloosa

COLUMBUS, O., Juno 1.-The Amalga-
mated Association, on its las. day OF a
somewhat memorable convention,
finally determined on tho original 81
for pudding, at Lilo cents pound for
bs. iron, recommended in the first in.
stance by the wasc-scale committee. 1t
is hard to learn whether the puddlers,
who wanted more than 81, and who
fought ior more before the manuiac-
,urers tho other day, made any fight,
bitter or otherwise, before submitting
TO the lower price. The puddlers nave
certainly not been in it at any stage of
the game in this convention. The
tinishers have had it all their own way,
and every vote has been for the lower
pudding rate, in order that tho manu-
iacturcrs shall DO willing to pay the
relatively large scale TO iron workers in
other departments.
Whether or not the association would
not give tho puddlers the 81 % com.
promise price the manufacturers were
willing to pay, or whether the puddlers
were jus. allowed to try their back be.
fore tho committee OF manufacturers,
and failed, is. OF course. purely conjec.
tural. In either case, tho puddlers feel
tina. they have the small end fit.
