Record of the Charles Nelson From
St. Michaels.

The Charles Nelson, which brought
the first contingent of the New York
ers, is a brand new vessel. She was
built by Hay & Wright of Oakland,
last winter, for the Charles Nelson
Company, and is the finest of her class
afioat. Her first trip was from San
Francisco by way of the Sound to St.
Michael. From the Sound she took
the government freight for Captain
Pratt's party which is surveying the
lower Yukon. The return from St.
Michaels to San Francisco was made
in days, the record for the fleet.
Her officers are Captain NJ. Ander-
son, First Officer Wrinkle, Second Off
Ger Olsen, Purser NJ. A. Tucker and
Chief Engineer Cloak. Purser Tucker
left the Pacific Mail service to 90 on
the Charles Nelson. On the trip
down from St. Michaels he had i'm his
charge $l,500,00O of Klondike pold.
brought out by the 175 passengers the
vessel carried. He was presented with
about seventy-five nuggets by as many
OF the passengers. Some of the mug
gets are quite valuable.
Though the $40 soldiers the Nelson
brought down crowded her capacity
TO the utmost, Purser Tucker did so
much for the boys in the way of af-
fording them conveniences that he be-
came one of the most popular men on
board.
The food furnished the soldiers was
OF excellent quality and in abund-
ance and they are about the best sat
lshed troops that have come here.
During the day the men were all on
deck and their Announcements and per.
sonal belongings were. too. so that on
account of so much weight above. the

The Sting of The Honey Bee.

There has been more or less discus
tiCn OF late on the effects of bee stings.
Some authorities claim that after a
number of sttngs persons become i'm
mune; others declare that it is only in
exceptional cases that this state of
things occur. There are many bee
keepers who never become so accuS-
TONED to the stings that they feel will
ing to risk the pain at the moment and
the extremely uncomfortable soreness
that follows contact with these small
but fierce antagonists. To be sure
some persons are less affected than
others. but this proves nothing from
scientific standpoint. An experience OF
years has led number Of agricultur-
lists to the belief that there are seasons
and conditions that govern the effect
Of bee stings. One of these does not SUI
fer at all during some seasons, while
at other times the poison is most Ylru-
lent, permeating the whole system and
producing sense OF general illness.
Sometimes large blotches break out all
over the body; at other times the sur
fering is confined to the injured local
ity From the best authorities it APP
pears that much depends upon the
plants from which the bee has lately
fed. Certain herbs are poisonous to
certain persons, and if the bee has re-
Gently gathered honey from them, their
toxic properties seem to be conveyd
from the bee to the individual. That
one may become partially immune is
not to be questioned. but that absolute
tmmunity ever occurs may be subject
30 reasonable doubt.

All over the country come complaints
of the insufficient insulation of electric
wires. Trees are destroyed, buildings
are set on fire and nc end of mischief
is done simply because the wires that
are stretched hither and yon are not
sufficiently protected by the insulating
cover; indeed, where the utmost pre-
cautions are taken there is more or less
danger Many of the wires are in GER
tain localities attached to trees. These
sway in the wind, drawing the wire
back and forth over some intervening
branch. 1t is but the work of a short
time to wear off the covering when at
every movement the wire emits spark
that in little while seriously Injuries
or entirely destroys the tree. The
trouble seems to be that sufficient care
is not exercised in putting up wires,
or else the covering is not adequate to
abe wear and tear to which it is sub
jected The general opinion is that
wires should never be attached to trees
or buildings where there is any posi-
bility of enough motion to result in the
wearing off of the insulating cover.

Scarcity of Tin.

That the gold fields of the world are
much more extensive than the tin fields
is fact which might strike the TN
scientific person with a curious feeling
of surprise. The tin fields which are
known to exist cover an area OF less
than $4,000 square miles, while the gold
fields are something over 1900, 900
square miles. Therefore there are 1872
square miles of gold-bearing regions
for every single mile of ground where
tin is known TO exist. The importance
of the tin industry is scarcely appre-
ciated by those who have never made
the subject study. North America
has no tin mines. South America but
one, Asia has two, Peru and Bolivia
contribute 1000 tons a year, and Aus
tralia mines about 5000 tons a year.
While We are all practically familiar
with what is called tinware, very few
of us appreciate the fact that pure tin
plays very small part in the manufac-
ture of these articles. The quality of
tinware has, within the past few years.
deteriorated with amazing rapidity, all
of which is attributed to the limited
supply and great value of tin.

Good Horse Sense.

The Mexican burrOS ascertain where
to dig for water by closely observing
the surface of the ground. One OBJ
server writes:
I'VE had found water in an arroyo Of
a sufficient quantity to make coffee,
when we saw three burroS searching
for water They passed several damp
places, examining the ground closely.
when the leader halted near us and be-
gan to paw hole in the hot dry sand.
Having dug a hole something over a
foot in depth, he backed out and
watched it intently. To our surprise. it
soon began to fill with water Then he
advanced. took a drink. and stepped
aside for his companions to drink.
When they went away, we drank from
their W i and found the water to be
much cooler than any we had found
for many a day. There is no witchcraft
about Mexican burros. but they have
good horse sense"

PER- Grated GunpOwder.

The logical combustion of gunpowder
in a gun should be slow at the begin
ming, and as the shot goes faster
through the bore of the gun the pow
der should burn more and more rapidly.
This end is attained in a powder, one
OF whose inventors is Hudson Maxim,
brother of the inventor of the rapid
Gre gun. A composition is used which
burns from the outside of the grain and
does not explode en- masse. 1t is made
in cylinders with perfOrations. AS It
burns, the holes become larger, so that
the surface is constantly increasing in
proportion to the mass or weight Of
the grain. When the charge is ignited,
the gas is liberated with comparative
slowness; as the Jumps of powder be-
come smaller the gas comes of more
rapidly, so as to follow up the projectue
IN it's passage through the gun. The
result is that for equal velocity of the
ball a much lower pressure is produced
within the gun.

Telegraph in Africa.

Mr.. r. d. Mohun leaves Antwerp this
week with an expedition to construct
line of telegraph from Lake Tanganyi-
ka to Stanley Falls on the Upper
Congo, under the commission of the
Congo Free State. Mr. M0hun was for
merly Consul at Zanzibar. II is not
known yet what purpose this new line
is to serve. But it may safely be sur
missed that it is but a link in some
larger enterprise. Mr.. W. H Caven-
dish is already in Africa at the head OF
an expedition to carry the line north
ward No doubt he will reach the point
from which the Belgian line starts, so
that III two years from now, if all goes
well, the Cape will have Geographic
connection with Stanley Falls-that is,
the ape-to-Cairo line will stretch more
than half the length of Africa But
the wire already runs from Cairo to the
present headquarters of the Anglo
Egyptian army on the Atbara. 1t will
be at Khartum within period which
may almost be measured by weeks.
If any force pushes on beyond Omdur-
man, it will take the wire with it, and
when the two years are completed. the
gap between the end of the line coming
south from Cairo and the end Of that
running north from Cape Town will be
much less than the distance from
Khartum to Stanley Falls.-St James

Continuous Steel Pipe.

The West Australian government
has taken a contract TO lay nearly three
hundred and fifty miles of water pipe
of a novel character. This pipe is to
be made of steel spirals packed in con-
crete. Sheet steel is cut into strips of
the required width. These are fed in
to machine and welded into one con-
tinuous strip. AS the strip is fed into
the machine, rivet holes are punched.
then the edges Of the laps are brought
together by machinery and held during
the process of riveting, which is all
done by compression. The lap is
thrown on the outside of the pipe, rem
dering the inner surface smooth and
even throughout its length. A tena-
cious hydraulic cement is packed
around the laps, making the pipe alb
solutely water-tight.

Fighting Monsters.

The American Museum of Natural
History in New York has recently ac-
quired some plaster casts of models
representing strange animals of past
geological periods. 1t is believed that
such models will have much popular
educational value, since they have been
carefully prepared from scientific de-
scriptions of the remains of the mon
sters whose forms they reproduce. One
of these extinct saurians, named by
Professor Cope the laelaps, was a car
niverous animal with heavy hind quar-
tiers. the body measuring about seven
feet and the tail eight feet in length.
Professor Cope believed that the lac
laps could leap through the air, and the
model shows one of the creatures in
the act of springing upon an enemy.

tine is his new apparatus for the exact
measurement of -thousandth parts
of a second. This novel chronometer
has an immense dial of almost ten feet
in diameter mounted upon a transport
able platform. The dial shows two
concentric rings, of which the outer is
divided into 800 degrees and the inner
circle into zoo degrees. The hand is
five feet long and is turned by the
mechanism of the clockwork at the rate
of five times per second around the
dial, so that each degree of the inner
dial actually represents one-thOusandth
part of a second. A special arrange
ment makes it possible to have the
hand turn only once or three times
around the dial within a second, the
values of the degrees being then cor
respondingly changed.

which turns at an enormous rate of

twelve Photographic cameras has been

cameras are open opposite the dial and
