TO LOCATE WRECKS.

| The latest invention to locate wrecks
is credited to a Baltimore man, who
! claims that by it's use it will be prac-
tically impossible for ship to be lost
without some record OF the disaster
eventually reaching land or being
picked up at sea. This device, says
! the New York Herald, consists OF q
buoy, which is to be always carried on
the deck of a steamer or vessel. This
buoy is sealed or alright body. made
of boiler iron, having a rounded bot
tom, in order that the waves may i'm
part a rocking motion to it as it rides
upon the surface.
Within the buoy is a gong, supported
by brackets. The edge or rim of this
gong is turned up into cup, SO that
a loose metal ball can rest in the bot
tom Of it when aboard ship, but when
the buoy is rolling upon the waves the
ball is moved about in the metal cup
and sound sufficiently loud to attract
the attention of passing ships is pro-
duced.
To the lower or under side of the
buoy is a metal cage, and within this
cage is a reel, around which is wound
fathOm after fathom of line, the loose
end of which is attached to a ring bolt
in the deck of the vessel. In order that
the line may not be cut by passing
ships or pieces of wreckage, it has a
telescope metal casting for about four
fathoms. This prevents the line being
cut.
To the body of the buoy is attached
a box made of wood or metal, in which
can be placed the story of the catas-
trophe which sent the craft to the bot
tom, giving her approximate latitude
and longitude and any other particu-
lars which there may be time to re-
cord. The box is Theoretically sealed
and water tight. It is attached to the
side of the buoy by small glass tube,
which is easily broken by pressure of
the water or by any piece of wreckage.
AS the ship sinks the buoy is released
from the deck and floats toward the
surface. The line which attaches it to
the ship plays out automatically and
holds it in place over the spot where
the craft went down. Should the line
be of insufficient length to allow the
buoy to be seen above the surface, the
metal message box becomes detached
by the pressure of the water and rises
to the surface, then to be picked up
and its contents of disaster read by
the crew Of some passing ship, or it
may drift ashore and then be picked

TO AID WANDERING woRKMEN

At regular intervals on the leading
Swiss thoroughfares refugees are pro-
vided where bona-fide workingmen
who are in search of employment can
obtain a nights lodging, refreshments
and whatever care they stand in need
of, but beggars need not apply. Dur
ing the first year of these refugees aid
was extended to 1868 travellers and
refused to 1892 unworthy applicants.
The total expense of the society for
II months was $500, of which the
State contributed 80 per cent, and the
diminution in the number of vaga-
bonds shows that the movement has
prevented many INDECENT workers from
drifting into the ranks of professional
tramps. 1t is needless TO contrast the
advantages of such a system with that
which takes it for granted that a man
without work or money is necessarily
a vagabond, and confines him among
tramps and criminals until he loses his
self-respect, and is ready when freed
to become either thief or beggar as oc-
casion serves.

TRUTH IN ART.
Painters and Poets Often Scienti-
ficIalIy Correct.

ticIally Correct.
One does not often look to poet or
painter for scientific guidance, says the
New York Tribune. Such men deal in
imagination rather than in fact, or so
they are supposed to do. Cosmogony
+ CT natural history constructed on their
lines would be most fearfully and
wonderfully made. Even in minor de-
tails they take amazing liberties with
rational circumstance. The shadow on
the floor in Poe's Raven" and the
footprints on the sand in LongfeIlow 5
( Psalm of Life are sufficient examples.
And yet it often happens that poet,
in what seem his most fancifuI and
unfettered passages, sets forth the
truth of nature with all the exactness
of a scientific textbook; and it has
also happened that painter, by what
we must regard as the exercise of in
tuitive or observant genius, has set
forth a great fact in advance of its
scientific ascertainment, thus playing
Students OF Turner will remember
that in some of his pictures he port
rayed lightning flashes in far other
than conventional forms. 'FOrked
lightning" so called, has commonly
been depicted, and indeed has COM
monty been supposed to be, in straight
lines, broken at sharp angles. But Tur-
ner drew it in wavy lines, with curves
instead of angles, and he also drew it,
here and there, with double lines for
q single flash. 1t goes without saying
that he was criticised, scoffed at and
condemned for so doing. Yet now, be-
hold Instantaneous photography has
vindicated him to the minutest detail.
1t shows the lightning flash to be in
just the form he drew and, as he also
indicated, sometimes in double or par
allel lines. His portrayal of lightning
was scientifically exact, and it antici-
pated the discoveries of science by
half a century.
Ruskin, it will be remembered, has
not only praised Turner's fidelity to
nature, but has demonstrated it in sew
eral important respects. The painters
accuracy in respect to lightning is
most remarkable of all. Rocks and
clouds and even the waves of the sea
may be studied at comparative leisure.
The electric flash is of all things at
once most bewildering and most evan
escent. Yet Turner mastered it. How,
must remain a matter of Onjecture.
Keeneness of sight and intentness of
observation are qualities which others
possessed in as high a degree as he.
Others, toe, had an apparently stronger
motive than he for ascertaining the ex-
act truth, for they were scientific in
vestigators, while he might be sup
posed to have been moved chiefly by
desire for pictorial effect Yet where
they failed he succeeded. Truly it does
not seem extravagant to pronounce
him, as Ruskin did, "unfathomable in
knowledge, solitary in power" and to
regard him as having been ''sent as a
prophet to reveal to men the mysteries

A MAN AND A BEAR
GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF A
PIONEER HUNT
Being a True Tale Which Proves That
Human and Brute Instincts Are
at Times Identical

A funny incident occurred the other
night at the commemorative exercises
of California's 50th birthday. Col S. o.
Houghton, pioneer, lawyer and racon-
teur, in the course of his address on
California Fifty Years Ago" after CIV
ing a detailed and interesting account
of the customs and conditions which pre-
vailed "in the days of old, in the days of
gold, the days of long ago." introduced
reminiscent account of bear hunt in
which he and some others had taken an
active part.
After getting the party safely into the
woods, at the base of a spur of the foot
hills, the colonel stated that venture
some member of their number, i'm
patient to taste the joys that had
brought them thither, started off alone
with his rife to seek not whom he could
devour up but what he could shoot
down. The rest busted themselves about
the camp a while, and then, catching
sight of their nimrod toiling up hill
side in the near distance, they settled
down to watch proceedings. While thus
lazily employed one of them suddenly
spied a huge grizzly bear clambering
clumsily up the opposite eide of the same
hill.
The narrator stated that their COM
panion was too far off to be hailed and
warned of his danger yet was plainly in
sight, and the colonel was in the midst
of drawing a graphic word picture of the
hunter slowly, slowly climbing in and
out of the brush on one side Of the hill
as the bear was making the ascent of
the other, and the audience was sitting
in tense expectation of the arrival OF
both at the top-when bang! and every
body jumped into the air two feet, we'll,
if you insist, make it two inches. They
weren't sure whether the bear had shot
the hunter or vice versa, but the colonel
knew because he had been there and
seen it; he knew it was only Fourth
of July bomb that had exploded out in
the street, and SO he unflinchingly kept
on with his story and told how the bear
and the man reached the summit of the
hill simultaneously and stood there face
to face-but only for second, for, with
a unanimity beautiful to behold, the
bear turned tail and fled back down into
the canyon for his life, and the hunter,
dropping his rifle where he stood.
sprinted for camp like the good and
peaceful citizen that he was.
OF course. everybody laughed at the
conclusion of the colonel's story. but the
realistic climax came when that robust
1897 bomb rent the air.

The Cannon Exploded

George Baker, boy IS years Of age,
was celebrating the glorious Fourth
last night by firing off a cannon at the
corner of Fifth and San Pedro streets.
Teh cannon was an eight-inch castiron
affair, old and rusty. After standing a
few loads the weapon exploded. Baker S
left hand was badly cut, one of the boys
was struck in the stomach with piece
of the flying metal, but not injured; an
other boy had the leg of his trousers
pierced, the metal grazing the shinbone.
Pieces of the cannon flew down San
Pedro street for more than one hundred
yards. Night Watchman James Platt
of the Elms' agency took the boy to a
drug store, telephoned for the patrol
wagon and sent Baker to the receiving
hospital, where his wound was dressed

THEY SEE THE CITY
CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoRERs TAKE
A DRIVE
Trains Still Loaded With Tourists
but Few Delegates Are
Among Them

The Christian Endeavor delegates
the city yesterday morning. through the
courtesy of the chamber of commerce
and the citizens, according to program.
There were five tallyhos and a number
of private carriages, containing in all
about 100. The start was made from the
chamber, and the drive was greatly
enjoyed by the strangers.
At headquarters there is some dis
appointment expressed by the faithful,
hard-worked committees that the pro-
portion of delegates to tourists arriving
on the trains is so small. On the trains
coming in yesterday there were no dele
gates to speak of, and all told there are
at the outside limit not more than 200
in the city. Up to last evening there had
been thirteen trains, with over 200 in
each car, who evidently were tourists
almost wholly taking advantage of the
cheap rates. 1t is expected that the in
flux of visitors after the convention ad-
journs may compensate for the small
number here at present.
Yesterday, after the drive, a party
went up to Mount Lowe, and others
visited the beaches and elsewhere

MADE THE PASSENGERS JUMP
Small Boy Amuses Himself by Thow-
ing Fire Crackers Into a Car

Herman Trinkle, a youth living at 939
Charming street, started in yesterday
morning to enjoy hie Fourth of July like
the average small boy, but the simple
firing of crackers soon got too tame for
his liking, and he looked about to find
some more exciting sports. He imagined
that it would be lots of fun to stand on
the street corner and throw his crackers
into passing cars just to watch the pas
sengers dodge them when they went off.
He had stationed himself at the corner
of Spring and Third streets, and was
having glorious time, when he was sud-
denly pounced down upon by Officer
Spencer, who hauled him off to the police
station, where he was charged with
malicious mischief. He was locked up
in Jail for couple of hours and then re-
leased upon promising to appear for trial
today,
