THE Pass ON SHAKE.
A Few Scattering Observation Upon This

Subject by Mr.. GoEEleby.
There are various kinds OF handshakes,"
said Mr.. Gozzleby. "among them the passion
shake, which is used at receptions and one
place and another where there's a lot OF people
coming UP all the time and where IT wouldn't be
possible for the man that the people had come
to see to stop and take half q day with each

1t Catches the Eye of the Passerby and
Takes His Fancy, Too.
There are many mechanical toys nowadays
that move about. and many Of these are shown
on the sidewalks and sold by street vendors.
Some OF these are familiar. the great fly.
for instance, and various walking figures.
Some of these figures move in a circle. and
some must be recovered aiterthey have walked
a little distance to be set down and started out
again. but all. with the exception Of one brought
out a few weeks ago. are made to move in a
forward direction until their power is ex-
hausted. In this exceptional case the figure
moves forward for a distance and then backs.
Many Of these figures are more or less gro
tesque the one that backs besides going for
ward is distinctly humorous. It is the figure OF
a donkey between the shafts OF a t~wo-wheeled
cart in which is seated. a man dressed as a
clown and carrying a whip. When the toy is
wound up the donkey goes forward all right for
a few feet, and then it begins to back, with n
motion that gives it the appearance OF kicking

Finally the donkey stops and starts forward.
but only to go a little distance and then to back
again to the same whip accompaniment.

SO the trunk is only paper covered after all:
not full calf, nor half morocco. nor anything

OF which the top Is composed, now thus partly
denuded OF its paper covering. are seen to be

SECRETARY LONG ASKS Fon MONEY.
He wants II for EUuippinE Vessels
and uuying Coal,

WASHINGTON, March 7.--Secretary Long
sent to congress today for inclusion In tho
urgent deficiency an estimate OF an appropr,
alton of $500, 900 to be Immediately available
for the equipment OF vessels in the navy for
the present fiscal year and for the imme-
date supply Of 10000 tons of coal for Key
West.
The report accompanying the request shows
the bunker capacity of the ships in the navy
now in the vicinity OF the Dry Tortugas and
Key West Is about $1,000 tons and the stor-
age capacity of the coal sheds at Key West
Is 4,200 tons. The larger vessels of the fleet
the secretary says, cannot approach nearer
than seven miles OF Key West. At present
they coal fcom schooners at Tortugas ana
at other places nearby when weather peg
mits. There Is enc fiat lighter with ca
pacity OF 300 tons row at Key West. This Is
not suitable for at any distance from the
port The report concludes as follows:
The bureau believes 1t rs for the interest
coal sheds should be constructed on gov
ernment land at Key West which will in
crease the stowage capacity there up to
10000 or 1000 tons and that lighters be
furnished which may be towed anywhere
within a radius of sixty miles of Key West
Also that at least 10000 tons of coal be
laid down at Key West ready for an emer-
sency The appropriation for the remainder
of the present year Is inadequate for these
purposes and in order that the bureau may
be able to execute the necessary contracts
at once 1t is recommended that congress
appropriate 100000 additional ito be imme-
