On Steamers.

A new self-recording indicator,
marking mechanically every order sig
nailed from the bridge of steamer
to the engine-room, consists of drum,
which revolves once in twelve hours,
around which is placed a chart, con-
tanning a column for each word Of
command on the indicator in use, and
ruled to show the fraction of min
ute. When the order is given, it is
marked at one on the chart. The in
strument does away with the posi-
bility of conflicting evidence between
the captain and engineer in case of
accidents.

Ready Made Penholders.

The use of potatoes as penholders is
becoming general in hotels. The mix
ture Of starch, glucose and water in the
potato seems we'll adapted to take up
the impurities Of ink, and to keep the
pen point clear and bright, while the
alkaloid of the potato known as So
lanine, doubtless has something to do
with it in the same line. These ele-
ments readily take up the tannate Of
iron, which is the body substance of
ink. Chemically speaking, starch is the
first base of potato, and sugar or
glucose is it's second base. Thus is the
humble potato finding another way in
which to serve the uses of mankind

Death of Paul Jones.

On July IS, in the afternoon, seeing
he was fast failing, Governor Norris
induced him to draw up his will. 1t is
a simple document in which he divides
his property between his sisters, and
names Robert Morris as his sole exec
utor.
He was then able to sit up in an arm
chair, and his friends left him to have
the will copied into French. They re-
turned at 8 o'clock, and witnessed it,
after which Paul Jones returned to his
bedroom. Presently came the Queens
physician. They all went into the
room, and there on the bed, face down
ward, lay Paul Jones. The great cap
tain was no more: in peace, after SO
many storms; in honor, after so much
obloquy."
Two days later he was buried. The
National Assembly resolved in its pro-
ces verbal to send a deputation Of
of Paul Jones, admiral of the United
States of America, a man who has
served we'll the cause of liberty
In the funeral discourse over him it
was said: '"The fame of the brave out
lives him; his portion is immortality"
SO long as ships shall sail the sea
will the name of Paul Jones be respect
ed. His country owes him great debt;
for he truly said: Il have ever looked
out for the Honor of the American
Flag" And it may be said of him, as
of the Condo: "This man was born a

The Matchless Melba.

The gifts of the gods are only grudg- jngly given. It is many years since the wonderful voice of Patti first thrilled
 the musical world; but only with the advent of Melba, four or five years ago, has the matchless organ of the elder artist found it's parallel Then, as if to atone for the delay, nature increased the value of its offering, adding to a
 most brilliant and fiute-like quality of tone a depth and soulfulness which reveal the consummate artist, to whom all roles are possible. The progress of Melba on her concert tour, so tri- umphantly begun, will be watched with interest yet with impatience until the day shall come when it shall be the privilege of this community to be of- fered this musical pearl of great price.

Professor John Dove Storrs Delivered the
 Second Lecture of the Course Yesterday
 on Pre- Roman Law in Scotland.
 The second of the series of the Will liam l., Storrs' lectures was delivered 10 students of the Yale law school at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Pro fessor John Dove Wilson of Aberdeen university. The lecture yesterday was on "Pre-Roman Law in Scotland" Pro- lessor Wilson described what each of the four races, the Angles, Scots, Gal Ninians and Normans, which he mem toned in the previous lecture, contribut- ed to this law. He then described the Anglian foundation and the so-called laws of the four Burghs. He said that one might search in vain through the old law for any Romanisms. This old Pre- e-Roman law prevailed through the whole of the Anglian period of Scotland. In speaking of the Norman additions, Professor Wilson said tha tit was diff cult to decide whethe rthe feudal law i'm Scotland was originated from the NorIIidHS or not. AC any rate tne tell ure of feudal law prevailed in Scotland at that time, was developed much the same way that it was in Germany, ard probably was developed from Anglian and Norman sources, more particularly the latter.
 In regard to the Scottish law in the thirteenth and fourteenth century he said that at the beginning of the thir- teenth century there was practically no difference between Scottish and Eng fish law. At the enr of the fifteenth century came the introduction of Rom an law. The book of law called Re giam Majestatem' was for three cen turies an authority on Scottish law This, although a little more dressed up than the same laws of England, was practically the same. By 1t trial by jury was allowed in criminal cases The substance of the lecture was that in the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth cen turies the laws of England and Scot land were about the same. The next lecture in the course will be delivered Monday afternoon on "The Reception of the Roman Law" and will explain what came from the revival pf the Roman law in the eleventh century and also from the fifteenth century revival.

little difficulty in convincing their friends of the remarkable power of Paine's celery compound to restore their energy, renew their vigor, and make them strong and we'll.
 Here is letter from MT. Max Burg helm, the well known president and manager of the Cincinnati Freie Presse Company. Mr. Burgheim writes
 'The following statement may be of interest. I have been suffering from sleeplessness, insomnia, for many years and although I have tried almost ev- erything to get cured consulting the best physicians, and even going several times to Europe, everything was in vain.
 T did not have nights rest for all most six years, that is to say, could not sleep for two hours in succession in a single night you can easily inn agine what the effect on me had been.
 After spending fortune in trying for relief, had given up almost all hope, and when I first read about Paines celery compound I did not have much faith in anything. But after having used so many remedies and consulted so many physicians in this country and abroad I felt like giving the compound trial. The result was truly wonderful.
 'The very first night about six months ago that I tried Paine's celery
 compound you can imagine my joy when I found that I had slept six
 hours in succession, 8 thing that I had not been blessed with for so many years. I continued the use for over three months with the same happy re- suit, and although I was fearful lest the malady would come back on me, I can now say that although I have not taken the compound for months I do sleep every night peacefully and with out Interruption.
 You can easily imagine what this means for a man who works fourteen hours every day in the year and has charge of two large newspapers. I con- slider my case a most remarkable one, and I should be glad if this statement should be the means of helping others who have suffered like I in the same untold agonies, and for this reason l give you full permission to make use of this statement in any way you l choose"

 Every Night He Lives.

Sleep is one of the things that can- not be put off from night to night.
 The punishment for sleeplessness is worse than pain. It means shattered mind.
 It often happens that a sudden stress of work or anxiety robs one of the nights rest. The effect is soon appar- ent in the languor, headaches and list lessness that ensue.
 If rapid and abundant means are employed to repair the exhausted parts the nerves regain their elasticity But if an unnatural privation of sleep is carried beyond the stretching power of the brain, the whole nervous system becomes undone, and prostration re- suits.

Weather Sharps Can't Destroy the Tradi- ,rI,oucrIa Ahnuf Line StnIIns

Weather Sharps Can't Destroy the Tradi-
 ton, Though, About Line Storms,
 The fine, clear weather of September pretty effectually disposed of the pop ular theory that when the sun crosses the equator there must follow severe and extensive atmospheric disturban- ces, high winds and heavy rains, says the New York Sun. The equinoctal storm used to be an institution, like Christmas. Thousands of people be- 1feve in it still. The fact that many 23d of September has been clear and cloudless has not broken the faith of the people, and all that Farmer Dunn and the rest of the weather bureau have said has not been sufficient to end this fallacy.
 The popular idea is that when the sun crosses the equator it springs a trap that let's loose all sorts of unpleasant weather. Nothing could be more un- reasonable than this belief, says MT Dunn. The crossing of the line by the sun has nothing to do with the Sep tember storms. The hurricane season does not end until the middle of Octo- Der, and until then there may be a heavy storm any day. September has the reputation of being the most er- ratio month so far as weather is con. cerned, of the twelve. The greatest amount of rainfall in any one month, since a record has been kept, came in September, 1892 when 1451 inches fell. Two years later September blished the record for light rainfalls. In 1884 only IS of an inch of rain fell. Mo- body will attempt to predict what kind of weather a September will bring for there isn't any such thing
 Since the 1st of January there has been deficiency in the rainfall of sS62 inches. Of this deficiency 2.99 inches can be charged to September. There were no heavy storms here in the month. Mir. Dunn says that this con- dition of affairs was caused by areas of high pressure over the southern states, which are always accompanied by a lack Of rain in the northern states. If there are storms in the lake regions, however, they pass to the northeast, as 8 general rule, and cause rain in the northern states.
 What have been called line storms were nothing but hurricanes from the south. Tropical storms are usually accompanied by heavy rainfalls, and tember 10 and October is called line storm by those who believe in line storms.
