ment are two sound receivers or coS lecting devices separated by vertical partition or vane, the whole revolving on a vertical axis so that the receivers can be directed to any point of the com pass. Now it is evident that if the vane points directly at the object which is emitting a sound, an equal number of sound waves will enter each of the re- ceivers, but if it is turned in any other direction, one of the receivers will be shielded by the yane, and will get less sound than the other.
 From each receiver tube extends to an ear of the operator. He hears, at first, a relatively weak sound with the other Then he turns the instrument about until the sounds are equal, and compass reading gives him the bear ing, which he transmits to the officer in charge of the wheel.
 Not only can the echo from an ice- berg be heard by the Eophone, but the ripping Of water against if, though that would be quite inaudible by the unaided air. The use of the instrument in channel marked by bell buoys, au- tomatic whistles, and other devices, is obvious. Even more important is the prevention of collision How hard it is to locate the feeble horn of the fish erman amid the fogs of the Grand Banks no one can declare in language that overstates the fact; and the poor fisherman can do nothing to protect himself.
 The revenue marine service under the treasury department was quicker than the navy to avail itself of the Eophone. Nearly all the cutters carry such instruments, and they have proven to be of the greatest service, so that the detrmination of the Davy depart ment to use them on the enormously expensive war ships is matter Of i'm. portance to the nation.

to experiment on balancing in the new attitude while moving.
 From this time on the pupil must ad- vance by degrees until the position shown in the picture is attained. It will be found impossible, however, to learn to skate in the new way and at the same time learn to balance ones self with the shoulders thrown back as are those of the skater in the picture. So the way to do is to acquire the new method of skating first and then gradu- ally accustom ones self to the upright position.
 It were we'll if possible to learn all positions at first without the use of the stick for holding a stick in the po- sition indicated is more help to the skater than it might seem to be. To learn without the stick gives one more self-confidence, an absolute essential in correctly mastering the intricacies of the new fad.

MOST BEAUTIFUL ALTAR IN THE WORLD.

satisfying to soul as to tie eye. And when the light in the church is dim, and silence reigns throughout, a soli- tary worshipper may see the fabric of the great altar hanging like a cloud in the air, mist illumined from with in, and ready to ascend upon breath whither the glittering pinnacles are pointing.
 The services of conseeration were in the highest degree impressive. Arch bishop Elder presided, and the solemn rites were adequately performed.
 This altar is not the only gift for which the convent is indebted to Miss Hayes. Ever since the day when she was graduated with high honors from the school she has been the generous friend of the sisters. To them alone most of her charities will be known, but her last gift is one in which ad- herents of the faith everywhere may seem to share, for it advances the dig nity of the church in America

When theJ were below decks in a storm they could not close the matches because that meant speedy suffocation. So they were continually drenched with water, and there were days together when their lives were not worth one-tenth of one per cent. In 21 days Dr. Bowers was able to real ly turn in"-which means to lie down without his overcoat and sea boots-- just twice.
 When the party reached St. Michaels in September, they immediately began hurried preparation to get up the Yu- kon, for the river was rapidly closing They built some scows and were towed over to the mouth of the great river, where, amid the vast waste of its delta, the ice closed in around them and their voyage was at an end.
 Nearly all of them wanted to go home in any possible way They were hundreds of miles from Dawson, and the way looked longer than ever. The love of gold had died in most of them, but not in Dr. Bowers.
 With others of the party, he made his way 50 miles overland to St. Michaels; and there most of those who could se- cured passage back to the states. But not Bowers. He found his little Klon- dike right there, and he proceeded to

A MECHANICAL EAR.
The New Device Being Tried on Our Battle Ships.
 rCsnnvriorht 1898

Battle Ships.
 Copyright. 1S9S.]
 The navy department has been led recently, to look with favor upon de vice for overcoming one of the principal perils of the deep, and it is probable that our battle ships and cruisers will be equipped herewith in the near fu- ture. It has received a trial on several vessels of the navy, among them the crack battle ship Indiana, and the re- suits have been satisfactory.
 The instrument iR question is called Eophone. which is a corruption of Echorphone-a machine for hearing echoes, or rather for determining the direction of the sound. Steering by echo is a method long in use. In the fogs that descend upon the New Eng land coast it would hardly be possible to find a way in safety among the in- numberable islands, fringed with dan gerous lodges, except by needing the warning given by the echo of thewhis- tie from the naked rocks, or the green walls of spruce trees along the shores.
 Echo, however, has from the earliest times been famed as an elusive nynnph. She is great ventriloquist, as s.poor Jack" has often learned to his cost. Her voice may seem to come from a dozen different directions, or she may lie about her lurking place with the most definite malice.
 It was to reduce her doings to some order that the Eophone was invented. It's first use was in locating ieebergs. Ar iceberg gives back strong echo but is often bewfldering in fog. A mariner knows that an iceburg is near but just where it lies is beyond his power to guess. The Eophone, how ever, makes no trouble of it.
 The principal clements of this instrt-

Very, very often it happens that when it is necessary to leave dis abled or sinking craft at sea, when the waves are high and the vessel is roll ing heavily, in the effort to clear the boats fram the ship they are smashed against the side and thus the one hope of escape is destroyed. This invention differs from all other de- vices which provide for the lowering of boats by means of davits. in that all operations are conducted from the boat itself. while all prior apparatus has been operated from the ship.
 Thus all persons on the ship who intend to become inmates of the boat. can get aboard before it is lowered, whereas with the present means, it is necessary to have several men on ship

has made very careful examination of the bird, and this is what he says con- corning it:
 Upon slsinning and dissecting the bird it was found that the right-hand head was connected with the left at the base of the skull, and at this point the windpipe also joined. Both heads held pair of fully developed eyes, each a tongue and one skull contained as much brain matter as did the other. The left-hand head was joined to the main cervical yertebrae belonging to the body; the body of the bird being considerably larger than that of the ordinary English sparrow.

 This magnificent structure is erected by the munifcence of former pupil of the convent school which is known as "The Mountain" Miss Alice Hayes, the donor, has entirely bestowed her money to good purpose, for her name will be perpetuated by truly splendid work of art.
 The altar is built in the Roman style of architecture. It is a comBina- ton of Carrara and other varieties of white marble, inlaid with Mexican onyx. There are 40 onyx pillars, large and small, with ornate capitals in marble. The onyx was selected with the utmost care. and some of the best specimens of this beautiful crystal that exist on earth have been secured for the decorations of this magnificent altar. The onyx Is of the most delicate shades of pink and sea green, but they are so beautifully blended and combined with the marble

difficult one and is selected for illus tration because of it's seeming impos- sibility. It can only be acquired by degrees, and one should begin in this way:
 First, place the right foot at the left of the left foot, bearing the weight on the toe. Then try to main-i tain equilibrium and make slight prog ress at the same time. If the beginner finds this impossible, then take two or three strokes in the ordinary fashion. and suddenly place the right foot in the position hitherto described. The mo- mentum acquired by the several strokes will give the beginner an opportunity

A KLoNpIKE DOCTOR.
One Fnn Who Found What He Started
 for Before Reaching Dawson.

|
 This is the story of .a man who start ed for the Klondike and found what he was looking for before he got within i,50o miles of Dawson City. As Virgil remarked of Aeheas, ''he was much tossed about both by land and by sea- in fact, this Klondiker's experiences would make those of the fugitive Tro- ian seem like summers day trip to coney island.
 It would be hard to find a story of adventure to match that of Dr. H. C.. Bowers, who started from Louisville in the early part of last summer. He had all kinds of hard luck; fate was absolutely grotesque in it's treatment of him; and yet his pluck and foresight and skill pulled him out of all difficult ties, so that his hands are now deep in Klondile gold, unless the promise of the latest news from him has all come to naught.
 To begin with, Dr. Bowers started with a first rate outfit, and a sufficiency of money. He was not an unsuccessful man trying a last chance, but a well instructed and fairly prosperous phy- sician, who craved the sudden wealth which the new gold land promised, for the sake of the ease and the leisure for study that its possession would give him. His early career had been such as is described by the oyer-worlSed word "checkered." He had enlisted in the navy as a boy. He had seen va riety of business life. He had studied law in the Louisville law school, and, later, medicine in the same city, finish ing his work with trip abroad that included profitable study in the foreign hospitals and schools.
 As has been said, he was getting along well; but that summer the gold fever-a disease that no doctor can cure-entered his veins and so he start ed for the new Fl Dorado. His trip to

It is evident that the heads interfered with one another considerably from tha fact that it was impossible to make the feathers of the head lie down per fectly smooth, as in ordinary cases; they were twisted and cured, as shown in the illustration.
 What pity that this bird had not been captured aliyel It is not uncom- mon to hear of double-headed pigs, kittens. calves and other aninals which all die young. but this probably stazds as an ornitholA gicsj wonder.

A Two-HeADED SPARROW.

A new wonder for the naturalists has just been found at Columbus, O., in the form of two-headed sparrow. The curious fact in connection with this remarkable bird, which has at- traeted more attention than even the bird itself, is that it was distinctively observed to chirp with both throats.
 It happened that little son of " L. Morris, living on Franklin avenue, at Columbus, was out with his air gun looking for sparrows, which have come to be regarded as the legal prey of the

 The davits are quite as important a Ieature of ships equipment as exist, .ne difference between them and other ieatures of the vessel being that they are for use in case of emergency. Any one who has been aboard of steamer VIII remember that they are the hook Ike affairs from which the ships boats are suspended.

board to operate the davits. Such persons are forced to jump into the boat after it is lowered.
 At all times the invention renders il possible for the boat to be lowered on an absolutely even keel. In case of rough water, the boat may be shot down as rapidly as desirable, so as to catch evenly upon the crest of the waves.
 It is possible that before long some of Uncle Sam's war vessels may be equipped with this new life-saying ap. paratus, as experiments are now in progress at the Brooklyn navy yard,

Numerous crosses and ornamented pinnacles give an air of grace and lightness, but the eye is not confused by any excess of ornamentation. In the niehes on the side are marble stat ues of the Sacred Heart and of the Blessed Virgin. Surmounting these are two beautifully carved cherubim with upifted wings.
