ARcHER'S FAvoRITE HORSE.
ssthetic Story of the Famous Jockey IN
the Steeplechaser Fatigue.

the Steeplechaser Fatigue.
Archer, the celebrated Jockey. was
riding i'll steeplechase, his mount being
horse called Fatigue. The man was
fond of the horse, which returned his
affection with liberal interest. AT the
last fence the horse fell and broke his
leg. Archer. though of course thrown,
fell away from the horse, and was not
badly hurt. The pathetic scene that fol-
lowed Is described by Vogue:
He started away to deliver news of
the accident and arrange to have the
horse shot, but was stopped by hearing
whinny. Poor Fatigue could only lift
his head, but he was looking after and
calling the rider he loved so we'll.
Archer returned to the horse, and sitting
down on the turf, took the poor Great
ure's head in his lap, and sent boy
with message for what was necessary.
Meanwhile the horse lay still, except
for an occasional spasm of pain.
No one wanted to shoot poor Fatigue.
a small boy finally volunteered, if no
one else would, but he'd "a heap ruthcr
not. When the pistol was finally given
him his small hands trcmblcd so that
Archer took the weapon from him, say
ing:
you're nervous, lad; you'll bungle
it. He shat have his pain added to.
He'll never know what put him out Of
his misery" Addressing the horse, he
added, IF l wasn't fond of you /
couldn't bring myself to do it; but you
sha mt run risks of being hurt more"
With one hand he caressed the horses
head, with the other he put the pistol
to the forehead
GOOD by, Fatigue, old chap, good
BY" and he pulled the trigger.
Fatigue hardly struggled, but settled
down, dead. with his head still on his
favorite riders lap; and Archer sat
quite still till the last culver was over,
his head bowed, and did not notice that
the red was staining his clothes

The visit to Portage Entry Wednesday
OF the committee OF Detroit councilmen
aud Wayne county supervisors was a
very pleasant one and the arrangements
and their carrying out were declared per-
feet by members OF the party and Hough-
ton gentlemen who escorted them. The
trip was made on the pleasure barge
Pilgrim and the rain 10 the morning did
not interfere the least with the comfort
OF the party, but made il the greater
during the afternoon.
Visits were made to each OF the quar-
res aud the method OF stripping and
afterward getting out the stone was
fully explained. On the docks at present
is an immense quantity OF stone, almost
enough in fact to fill the big contract for
the new Wayne county court house.
The visitors protested themselves de-
lighted with the quality of the stone and
its invariable and perfect color. Also
was the idea, advanced by certain De-
troit papers that the Portage Entry
quarres could not get out the requisite
amount OF stone in three years, wiped
out Of the minds Of the committeeman.
They saw almost enough ready for ship
ment before their ewes on the dock and
were fully convinced that all the stone
they wanted could be delivered to them
during next season.
1t would seem from what little the visi-
tors said that all that may be in ques-
ton now is the matter OF price. 1t is GER
tain that no other section can compete
as to the quality and richness with the
famous Portage Entry sand stone.
The return tn Houghton was made at
10 o'clock. Yesterday morning the
party visited Calumet returning in time

Y Rays In Piracy.

The pitiless pirate scanned the distant

have been a motive for it.

Turning to his first mate, he COM
manded him, with fearful oath, to
run up the regulation flag.
That person replied that there wasn't
one, as the only flag they ever had was
shot away in the last affair.
Was the pirate chief ratified?
Nay!

ELECTRIC SOUNDING.

1t is said by the engineers who con-
Quoted the laying of the Amazon river
cable TO Manaos that the difficulties of
their enterprise would have been al
most insurmountable if the ordinary
methods of sounding had had to be re-
lied upon. There were no charts to go
by, the river bottom was constantly
shifting, and the softness of the soil,
mostly alluvial clay, would allow the
lead to sink into it for several feet. An
electric device, fifty named subma-
rine sentinel, was suspended from the
cable ship and set at, say, five faith
oms.
So long as there was no signal from
the sentinel the engineer could Steam
ahead without fear, but the moment
the ship got into water shallower than
the gauge fixed upon, the sounder gave
an alarm, and special reckonings were
taken.
A somewhat simpler device, having
the same end in view, has been in
vented, the idea being to have it used
as substitute for the hand lead as a
vessel approaches a coast or shoal in
darkness or fog, when the captain is
doubtful as to his bearings. The ap-
paratus consists of metallic cylinder
having a water-tight chamber. Within
the chamber works piston, on the
outer edge of which is heavy ball
When the apparatus is swinging clear
in the water the weight of this bal
keeps open an electric circuit; but as
soon as the sounder touches the bottom
the circuit is closed, and the current
conveyed by wires running in the cable
by which the sounder is attached to tht
ship, rings bell in any department Of
the ship. The cost of the device is
quite moderate, and its inventor claims
that its operation is simple and sure
