Various Ways Of Correctly Guiding tho

Gustav Kobbc contributes an article
to st. Nicholas. Mr.. Kobbe says:
Sailors steer by the wake of the ship.

and the speed of the vessel. This angle
measures what we call the ships "lee

a central line and maintain it. An Old
sea dog once told mo that one thick

a head wind so that they had to tack i'll

The Alaska steamers on the inside
route between the main coast and nu-

A given course can also be run by
soundings. or. rather, by IA line OF
soundings. In entering New York har-

Measuring Vessels For Their Outnt-Wha:
Ship Cushions Are Made OF.
When new vessel is ready TO be fitted
out with her cushions, she is measured
for them, not as church would be, for
q certain number of cushions of a spec
ified size to supply a certain number of
pews. but every space in which 4 cush
ion is to be placed separately On
large vessel there might be number OF
cushions of the same dimensions, but
marine architecture is such that cush-
ions may be required on the same vessel
in "A great variety of forms, and of vary
ing Dimensions even within given lines,
narrower at one end, for instance. than
at the other. And cushions are made TO
fit around masts, and around the round
ed ends of cabins, and i'll other spaces
where they must be made i'll the form
of an arc of a circle. and ship cushions
are made Y shaped and in other shapes
to fit into various hooks and jogs.
All cushions are made with Il vertical
front edge, and most Of them are made
with vertical rear edge, but ship
cushions are often made with a rounded

against the side of the vessel, which
serves as back to the seat, but may
slope away at a sharper angle than seat
backs commonly do.
Practically every boat that is set
afioat, whatever she may he, big or lit
tie, is individually measured through
out for hor cushions. The same materi-
ais for stuffing cushions that are used
on land are used OH the water-hair,
moss, cotton and so on-and ship cush-
ions are sometimes stuffed with cork
clippings for their buoyant properties.
The materials most commonly used in
covering church cushions are damasks
and reps, tine damasks more generally.
Tho material most commonly used in
covering ship cushions is mohair plush.
which is made in various colors and
qualities Leather is also used in cover
ing ship cushions, especially in smok-
ing rooms and chartrooms and aboard
yachts, and it costs little, II any, more
than fine quality of mohair plush

THE ONLY WHITE BUFFALO.

Seen and Chased by Indians and Huntcrs,

, During the summer of 1875 bands Of
Indians returning from a hunt far ont
on the plains brought in stories of hav
ing seen at different times and in differ
ent places, and always in the center OF
q large herd, white buffalo. They had
used their best horses in the effort to
overtake it TO no purpose, never being
able to get anywhere near the animal.
AT first we did not pay much attention
to these stories. but still it kept crop

band of about 100 animals burst out OF
the brush and made Off TO the south.

of them was u white buffalo. Although
they were a quarter Of q mile away,
there could be 10 mistake about it. He

the scene, but gathered up the reins
and was after him. determined to bag
that buffalo or kill my horse.

quite possible to get an awning TO match

with it agreeably. 1 have seen lately
