Serious Night Aboard the
Barkentine Arago.
Almost SWamped In Two Bad
Blows - Assault of the Sea.
Arrives Here With Coal.

The American barkentine Arago, S

Westport with full cargo of coal t.

stream and will come alongside to dis
charge as soon as she can obtain {
berth. The captain, most obliging
and affabe old salt who has followed
the sea ever since he was a lad of L
summers and who has been in com
mand of a vessel for 80 years, kindly
furnished the following report of a
voyage, part of which was very disas-
trous:
For he first eight days of our voy-
age from Westport, N T., we had fine
weather. In lat. 3744 S. and long.

easterly sea. Fhe wind increased to
a gale and the foretopmast backstays
were carried away. Damages were re-
paired as soon as possible.
con November 30th, the gale sud-
denly shifted to the northwest and we
knew we were in for somthing bad
The ship was lying to under low fore

tOpmast staysail. We went back to the
eastward, leaving heavy, cross and
ugly sea behind us. The ship was lit
orally buried in the water for most of
the time.
''At about 10 o'clock in the night OF
the same day, ship hove to. A ire
mendous sea boarded and at the same
time struck the ship with great force
carrying away the top gallantmast and
the head of the foretopmast. 1t was
something terrible, this sudden attack
on a dark night. The gear hung down
within Is feet from the deck and beat
wildly about, carrying away the braces
and everything else it happened to
come into contact with. There was
nothing to be done. To have ventured
into the rigging in an attempt to
straighten things would have meant
certain death. All through the night
we were treated to this wild serenade
of the gear torn loose from the parts
carried away.
From that time up until December
goth, we encountered light, battling
winds with no southeast trades All

The following forecast has just been
received from the photographic Office,
Washington, D. c.:
''The trade wind limits will probably
be found a little farther south notso
clearly marked and the winds not so
constant in direction as those last
month.
|FIn the middle North Pacific ocean
the average storm track for January
is considerably south of that for De-
cember and the area of frequent gales
may be expected to extend as low as
the 30th parallel and reach across the
entire ocean. North of the 10th paral-
lei across the entire ocean, and north
of the 35th parallel in the western part
of the ocean, these gales may frequent
y be accompanied by hail or snow.
During this month dangerous gales fire.

may be expected.
"Typhoons are usually infrequent

after crossing the line coming north
vessels bound for the west coast OF
America may expect frequent squalls
with occasional thunder storms, in
passing through the doldrums.
occasional fog and heavy mist
will probably occur along the coast OF

The coal mine fire at Connellsville
which after burning slowly beneath
the surface for twenty-six years breaks
ont in all its violence is one of the
startling incidents of mining life.
Coal is such an extensive deposit in
PENNSYLVANIA that in the operation of
the vast number of mines it is prac-
tically impossible to keep some sec
tions of the coal seam from catching
fire once in while. When the fire
is started, to extinguish it is Il task
beyond the power of man unless the
circumstances are favorable. Slowly
the fire eats it. way into the Vein,
burning over wider areas MS the fuel
in immediate reach is consumed, fan
ming itself into fierce crater of ruin
when it breaks through the crust OF
earth and finds access to air to feed it
with oxygen, daily threatening new
fields and finding new opportunity
with every new opening or old works
that it penetrates.
Mine fires have been among the
problems that operators encouutere /
through all their experience. Some
in both sections of the state, in the
anthracite and the bitmninous regions,
have proved obstinate and destructive,
aud all the ingenuity of man has failed
togain the mastery over them. Pitts

OF the two liquid envelopes that en-
wrap the globe the atmosphere is the
thicker, and it has more to do with
shaping the surface of the earth than
one might suppose without giving the
matter due consideration. Not only
does the wind carry vast clouds of
dust and sand from place to place, but
1t bears inland the vapor which rises
1rom the ocean and which comes back
TO us condensed into rain. All the
erosion Of the soil that is accomplished
by rivers, all the transportation of
soild material that these streams and
the ocean currents are responsible for
would be impossible were there no
ar Inc waves, too, are raised by
this agency, and their havoc must also
be charged in part to the account of
the atmospheric sea.

An aerial torpedo war machine,
self-elevating and self-propelling,
capable OF carving 200 men and over
twenty-five tons of ammunition and
explosives, and with steering APP
paratus capable OF directing the boat
in any direction against the wind, no
matter how high, is the latest thing
to which the attention of the govern
ment has been invited. The inventor
is P w. Anderson of this city, who
has been working upon the machine
for fourteen years.
Mr.. Anderson does not claim much
for his aerial machine He limits its
destructive powers to 5000 men
and 200 modern warships per hour.
He has also invented submarine
boat which he guarantees will descend
sixty feet below the surface and re-
main an indefinite length of time.
Forty five knots an hour will be its
speed on the surface. The war
machine can be built ready
for action in two months. If
Spain only had 200 ships and
and half million of men lying around
loose somewhere, Uncle Sam might
take up with the Anderson war ma
chine project, Just for the sake of hav-
ing an hours fun in wiping them off
the face of the earth. Chicago Inter

Must he Introduced.

A good natured young fellow was at
a rustic picnic. and rashly spoke TO a
young lady without the formality of an
introduction. He happened to see n
fat caterpillar crawling on her lace
collar, and jumping towards her, said:
MADAM. permit me To-
But the young lady waved him off
with an imperious and insulting ges-
tuTe, and said
How dare you speak to me with
out an introduction. You are Ger
tainly no gentleman, sir. D."
Here the caterpillar overbalanced
itself and fell on her neck.
"Youch! oh! Take it off! oh,
please, do take it of, somebody"
screamed the fair one.
The Young man was the only some
body about, and he said:

Injured by Fireworks,

When the fireworks set themselves
off Monday night, those who were
handling them deemed discretion the
better part of valor and lost no time
in getting out of harms reach. Geo.
Howley escaped with a few scratches,
but Herman Kerl was badly burned
about the arms and hands. How they
got down from the stand and away
from the "hot time" will never be
known.
Fred Degendorfer was in wagon
near by and was painfully burned on
the arm and forehead.
Willie Annawash, twelve yea
old boy from the Indian school was
injured in his wrist.
Miss Minnie, daughter of Ole
Hegland, was struck in the face by
rocket; causing serious burns about
the face and neck.
