THE SEA MESSENGER.

From thestern, whichis square, cham
Der is bored forwards longitudinally,
and in it is inserted metallic tube, to.
hold a small wooden rod, round which
the ships log or any other information
written upon paper or the like may be
rolled. The sea-messenger is made Of
solid wood (pine), and is entirely cover
ed externally with Muntz' yellow metal,
to protect it when afioat and also to-
render it conspicuous. Upon the deck
the inscription is engraved on metal
lie plate. The boat is suitably baLasted
to prevent it's capsizing and to keep the
deck-plate in view at all times while
floating. The inventor wants to make
it imperative by law for all shipmas-
ters to keep an abstract log fully writ
ten up day by day (noon preferred) and
kept inserted in the messenger in readi-
ness for an emergency. By this means
the ofttimes cruel silence and dreaded
suspense to those on shore may be
ayerted.

Buttons.

It is only in comparatively modern
times that buttons have been utilized
as fasteners. The Greeks and Romans
knew nothing of them and, though
they presented themselves as orna-
ments in the fourteenth century, but
ton-holes were still an undreamed-of
possibility. 1t was not until nearly the
middle of the last century that the man.
ufacture of steel buttons was entered
upon at the Soho works in Birming-
ham, England. Then, on the accession
of George Ill, gilt buttons appeared
and became quite the vogue. But it was
reserved for the artisans of our day to
make these useful fasteners in the
greatest variety at marvelously low
Drices and out of all sorts of material,
even to the seemingly impossible po-

ROYAL Yearly Incomes.

The total annual income of the impe-
rial family of Russia cannot be less
than three and a half million pounds
sterling. Probably the nearest approach
to this revenue is to be found in the
combined incomes Of the brothers
Rockefeller, the oil kings Of America,
which amount to two and a half mil
lion pounds. The Austrian imperial
family possesses an estimated annual in
come of FL, 100000, the German family
one of 91,OOO,OOO, and the Italian house
of Savoy a revenue of 100000 year.

Overrun with Deer.

Deer seem to be exceedingly plentiful
through the northern part Of the State
this summer, as groups of them can be
seen coming out Of the woods during
mornings and evenings and meander
through clearings and gardens. They
seek the openings to escape the mosquitoes
and flies in the woods. They are very
tame and are unmindful Of people or do
nestle animals. A number Of young ones
have been caught by people of Iron Belt
and adjacent towns and are being tanned.
The mild winter and little snow of last
winter tended to their increase, as they
could escape the ravages Of the wolves,
which are usually rowing around plentl-
fully in packs south of Iron Belt.

Yesterdays business in the Third

as compared with other days this

their attention confined to two causes,
chiefly, being the suit of Aquila Neb-
eker ct al. VS.. George Harvey ct al.
before the latter, while in the court of
the former the case of Thum VS.. VOL
stenholne dragged along for another
day
The day was taken up in rebuttal by
both sides, in the Nebeker case the
matter going to the jury at in the
afternoon.
In the Thum case, the plaintiff rested
and the defense began in the after
noon and will continue during the
greater portion of the day today, if the
case is not continued over until next
week.
Referee George Blair took testimony
in the case of Mary e. Zell VS.. Clement

grounds of desertion and failure to pro-
vide
Mrs. Zell, a frail little woman, tes-
titled she married Zell in 1898, during
the latter part of March; that they had
one child, now years of age. Mrs.
Zell declared that one year ago, or
more, the exact date being Jan. q.
1897 her husband deserted her and has
since contributed nothing to her sup
port
Other witnesses corroborated this
statement and the referee will make
a report recommending the divorce be
granted. There is no alimony in this
case. The custody of the child was
awarded to Mrs. Zell.
Judge Hiles confirmed the report of
the referee in the divorce proceeding
of Rose Anna Hunt VS.. Joseph Hunt,
awarding her $1,000 alimony, to be paid
in installments of $50, together with $50
attorneys fee.

DEATH OF INVENTOR KELLEY
MAN WHO PROMOTED THE
MYTHICAL MOTOR.
Labored Twenty Years On the Scheme
and Constructed ia Models-Se-
cret Died With Him.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 1S.-John w.
Kelley, the inventor of the Kelley Mo-
tor, died today at his home in this city
from pneumonia. He was taken i'll on
Saturday last and continued to grow
steadily worse until his death. Mr..
Kelley was 81 years of age and leaves a
widow. He was a native of this city.
His education was meagre and at an
early age he became a, carpenter, fol-
lowing that traoe until 1872. 1t was in
that year that he announced the dis
coVery of new force, by which motive
power would be revolutionized. Fol-
lowing this he constructed what has
become known as the Kelley motor.
On Nov. TO- 1874, he gave its first public
exhibition before a number of capital
lists and scientists, who advanced $780,
600 to enable him to perfect his dis
covery and apply the principle.
Since then large sums of money have
been expended on experiments without
any practical public results. Between
1874 and 1891 Kelley constructed and
discarded 129 different models. In the
first model he employed water as a gen.
orator, but later the experiments were
made with what he called a "liberator, -
Der of tuning forks, which, he claimed,
disintegrated the air and released a
powerful etheric force
In 1883 he was for a time confined in
Jail for contempt of court for refusing
to disclose the secret by which he pro-
duced many remarkable effects in the
presence of experts, but until his death
the secret was known only to himself
Among those interested in his scientific
efforts was Mrs. Bloomfield Moore, the
well-known society woman, who adj
vanced sums of money to Kelley for
the purpose of his invention.
