A Bicycle Boat.

A bicycle boat has been invented by
n telegraph operator i'll Seattle, and
has been successfully operated on the
waters of the harbor there at speed
of nine miles an hour. 1t is COM
biuation of whaleback boat and BIZ
cycle. Described in the simplest way,
it is boat with u bicycle mounted
amidships, the power exerted on the
pedals being transferred TO propel-
Ter arrangement at the stern. The
rudder is operated by the bicycle han
die bar, just as an ordinary bicycle is
steered. The boat shell is steel
framework covered with canvas, and
the whole thing is kept right side up
by 260-pound keel OF lead. The in
ventor thinks he will be able to get
much more than the present nine
miles an hour out of his bicycle boat
when he has perfected it.

Had q Remarkable Exuericncc.


The bark Oakland put iuto San
Francisco last week in distress, having
had remarkable experience. The
vessel was becalmed in the Southern
Pacific so long that, though the crew
was on half rations for month, the
galley was bare when she reached San
Frsncisco, so bare that the crew begged
food OF the crew OF the pilot boats that
met them. The bark WAS bound from
San Jose de Guatemala for Port Mad
ison. Sho had little wind from the
start, and finally drifted into region
OF calms in which she noated about
for days with the sails hanging fiat
upon the masts. Gains and winds so
light as TO be insufficient to keep her
on her course delayed her several
weeks, and the crew were put on half
rations. Then the ships chronome-
ter got out of order, and the Captain
had to depend on his watch. a little
later the Captain was taken ill, and
died in few hours. Then the mate
headed for San Francisco, but not
having q chronometer he was obliged
to cruise about in the neighborhood
of the port for two deys searching for
the lighthouse on the Farrallones, be-
ing only able to guess where the YES.

Substitute for the Natural Skin.

A process has been patented in Ger
many for making substitute for the
natural skin for use on wounds. The
muscular coating of the intestines of
animals is divested Of mucous mem.
brane, and then treated in a pepsin
solution until the muscular fibers are
half digested. After a second treat
ment with tannin and gallic acid, q
tissue is produced which can take the
place of the natural skin, and which,
when laid on the wound, is entirely
absorbed during the healing process.
