An "amphibious boat" now in practical
operation in Denmark would seem TO nave
paved the way for a solution of the pro-
blem involved in the operation of boats
on the Upper Nile.
The idea of a boat that could be used as
a carriage or run on rails over dry land
was preached many years ago, but the
scheme was looked upon as impractical
BILE.
This later day "amphiban' is no longer
an experiment. 1t Is a commercial success,
and carried during the last summer 10000
passengers
This odd-looking craft is used on two
large lakes situated twelve miles from CO.
penhagen. The bodies of water are known
as Fure So and the Farum So, and are
divided by narrow strip of land LILO feet
in width.
It is to cross this isthmus that the boat
leaves the water and for the time be-
comes a locomotive. 1t is practical al
though somewhat cumbersome The in
ventor is a Swede and the boat was built
In Sweden. 1t is a small passenger steam
er, 46 feet in length, drawing from feet
TO feet inches, according to the load.
Her tull complement of passengers is 20.
When loaded she weighs about Is tons.
Her engines and boiler are OF ordinary
build, and have a maximum of twenty
seven horsepower. The mechanism which
propels the boat when on land is quite SIM
pie, but It may be improved upon.
The rails used are of regulation Danish
pattern and the gauge is feet 2 inches.
When nearing the land the boat is guild
ed into funnel-shaped dock, which grad
ually tapers down to a width only two
inches greater than that of the boat.
When the narrowest portion of the dock
is reached the boat enters a short paral-
lei dock Of the same width and is allowed
to advance slowly until the front wheels
touch the rails, which extend below the
water level for the purpose. Immediately
the wheels are thrown into gear, and the
boat begins its ascent.It is assisted by the
propeller, which is in play.
In due time the back wheels find their
way to the rails, and the boat advances
on its upper course at the rate of about 2OC
feet to the minute.

The place is in charge of a competent assistant. Good horses can be had there and boarders taken.

Pump-Sailed for Home Yesterday.
 Lyman Bassett of Clintonville is look ing for new housekeeper. His old one attempted suicide last week, but failing she sailed for her home in Swift zerland yesterday.
 When MT. Bassett's wife died, five years ago, Bertha Bruderer was em- ployed as a domestic in the house. MT. Bassett raised her to the dignity of housekeeper after his wife's death, and she reained the position until last week. He was seventy years old and she twenty at the time of his wife's death. The girl became infatuated with the | old man, but he would not make her Mrs. Bassett.
 Last week sffe took dose of mor- phine for the purpose of demonstrating to the old man that she could not live without him. She had no intention of taking her life, but the drug was more powerful than she supposed, and she was at deaths door when Dr. R. B. Goodyear arrived with stomach pump
 The physician and the pump saved | her. Her attempt did not have the de- sired effect upon the old man. Instead of marrying her he ordered the gir to leave the house as soon as she was able to be removed. Her friends ad- vised her to return to her native land where travel and change of scene would cure the wound in her heart She sailed for Europe yesterday.

DISCHARGED AS CURED.
Michael Quigley, Who Was Shot, Has
 Recovered.


 Recovered.
 Michael F. Quigley, the man who was accidentally shot through the body at the First regiment rifle range on the af- ternoon of July 25, has recovered and left the hospital for his home. The wound has healed and may not occa- sion him further trouble, but Quigley will have to be careful for some time. The case is one of the most remark able on record. Quigley was having in the meadow about 800 yards below the 500-yard butt while some members of Company A, First regiment, were practicing at the 500-yard range. He fell, shot through the body with a 45- calibre bullet from Springfield rifle at a distance of 1000 yards.
 The ball entered the right arm, pass ed entirely through the body and came out on the left side about one and one half inches below the point of entry. It injured the lungs, and also it was thought struck the spine, as Quigley's s legs were partially paralyzed at first His recovery was doubtful from the first, but he continued to gain after he had recovered from the shock, and the hemorrhage.

Failure of Hilton, Hughes & Co.,, Has Only
 a Passing Effect on tho Stock Market.


 New York, Aug. 26.--The announce ment of the failure of Hilton, Hughes & Go. had only a passing effect upon the markets for securities at the open ing to-day. There was a disposition to hammer the list at that time, but the decline was only fractional and was soon checked by further reduction in the rates of sterling and cable advices from London that Kuhn, Loeb & Co and other banking houses intended to import additional amounts of gold on the steamer sailing from the other side this week.
 The first decline was equal to 1sMR per cent, but before 10:30 a. m. most of the loss had been recovered Still later there was another downward turn the extreme apathy shown by the bulls inviting another attack. At the lowest point Illinois Steel showed a de- cline of points, Baltimore and Ohio 2ss, Minnesota Iron 2 Bay State Gas 31a, and the general list A to 13s per cent
 The heaviness of Baltimore and Ohio was attributed to reports that Expert Little's statement of the affairs of the company will make very unfavorable showing, but as far as known nothing new has developed concerning the prop erty.
 There was almost an entire absence of outside orders, and the movements were sluggish throughout. Near the close there was a little more pressure to sell in consequence of an advance in the rate for call loans to 10 per cent.
 The market left off dull and steady in tone. Net changes show losses of f to x per cent. Burlington and Quincy leading. Manhattan rose $ and North west & per cent. In the inactive list Illinois Steel fell 5, Minnesota Iron ? and Baltimore and Ohio 2.
 Bonds were weak Sales for the day were only S479,000.
