There are various ways in which ap-
parent facts and real figures relating to
wheat shipments from Portland may be
juggled and distorted to deceive in
land farmers and superficial readers. It
IS not generally understood. for instance,
that most Of the wheat buyers OF port
land are also agents for ships chartered
or seeking charters there Through the
manipulations Of these agents, repre-
senting principals who may be overloaded
with high priced wheat, or by means Of
a commission paid some mercenary and
dishonest captain the difference Of a
shilling or more, up or down, may be
forced in the price of charters It also
happens that ships are sometimes in
duced by the trickery Of these agents
TO pay towage up to Portland before they
can obtain an offer Of charter from any
member of the wheat pool. Ships 50

incur the additional expense Of seeking

canoe with tools they had brought along,
and thereafter travelled in state of COM

their hardships. Now they were nearing
their destination. With the exception of
Abel Crane, who had passed the same way
year earlier. no white men had ever seen
or trodden this remote part of Alaska.
The shooting motion of the boat and the
warm sunshine at length made Quin drow-
sy, and he fell asleep with his head pillow

bewildered to find himself In absolute dark
ness; he heard the swift rush of water, and

Yes. and the only entrance I've told

AWed by their mystic surroundings, the
Voyagers were silent for time The canoe
guided by an occasional stroke of Cranes
paddle, swung on and on with the tide OF
the subterranean river. Suddenly a gray
glimmer of light was seen IN the distance

to hurl itself forward and the tossing craft

him lowered the mighty peak from the
bowels of which the subterranean river had
elected the canoe. In front the stream wild
ened a little. and flowed straight on for
three-quarters of mile then vanished in
a narrow gorge that split the granite circle
or cliffs which hemmed in the valley On
the right there was only narrow strip of
land. heavily timbered between the water
and the precpitous wall But on the left
the ridge of mountains receded nearly half
mile, and the greater part of the semi
circle thus formed was covered with mag
nifcent primeval forest. Between the trees
and the pebbly edge of the stream was a
belt OF dense grass and undergrowth
While Quin was rapturously noting these
details the canoe grated and stopped. His
companions had driven it ashore on the
right-hand side, at a point about twenty
yards below the exit from the cavern

For long time, while his companions

He did not know what to believe 1t SEEM

had been arranged that while they were

Ireland Claims Sampson.
From the Cork Examiner.

from the Cork Examiner.
My attention having been drawn to a few
different accounts in English and Irish pa
pers with regard to the birthplace of the
above named distinguished admiral. who is
now playing such conspicuous part in the
Spanish-American war, some claiming him
Scotch, others as an Englishman, etc..
it will, no doubt, interest your readers to
learn that the gallant Irishman first saw
the light almost under the shadow of the
Moore Abbey Uow in ruins), just outside
the village Of Galbally, county Limerick
and close to the confines of the Glen of
Aherlow, which latter glen is celebrated
from not alone a historic point of view,
but also on account of its magnificent
scenery, and the fact that the glen has
given birth to more distinguished athletes
than any part of Ireland. In fact, almost
every second young man you meet In Aher-
low is, as matter of course, an athlete.
Admiral Simpsons father was a black
smith at the place above mentioned, and,
at the present day, traces of the forge are
to be seen where his brawny arm welded
the hammer. He emigrated to the land of
the stars and stripes to better his fortune,
while his son, the admiral. was mere
child. The first Of the Simpsons who came
to this country was colonel in Cromwelrs
army, which colonel got married to a
daughter Of Sir John Cantwell, near the
above mentioned abbey, and, after settling
down in Ireland, became more Irish than
the Irish themselves" The above Colonel
Sampson was, therefore. an ancestor of the
admiral, and of the admirars numerous
cousins, who are now living in and around
the neighborhood, among whom 1 might
mention Mr.. Simon Sampson of Carrick-
aroche, and Michael Sampson of Mitchels-
towndown, near Knocklong, both the latter
persons being respectable and well-to-do
farmers. hope the above information may
prove interesting and set the matter at rest
(Which information, 1 might mention, 1
have from the lips of near relative of Ad-
miral Sampson), and apologize for tres
passing SO much on your valuable space.

ALL ABOUT YOUR WATCH.
Some Facts About Timepieces which
Many Persons Are Not Aware OF.

/ Some Facts About Timepieces which
Many Persons Are Not Aware OF.
| From Pearson's Weekly.
Open your watch and look at the wheels,
| springs and screws, each an Indispensable
part of the whole wonderful machine. No
| tice the busy balance wheel as It files to
and fro increasingly day and night, year in
and year out. This wonderful little ma
| chine is the result of hundreds of years Of
| study and experiment
| The watch carried by the average man is
composed Of ninety-eight pieces, and it's
| manufacture embraces more than 900 dis
| tnct and separate operations. Some Of
| the smallest screws are SO minute that the
unaided eye cannot distinguish them from
| steel filings or specks of dirt
Under a powerful magnifying glass a per-
| feet screw is revealed. The slit at the head
| is one-hftieth of inch wide. 1t takes
3os,Ooo Of these screws to weigh a pound.
| and a pound is worth f317.
The hairspring is a strip of the finest
| steel, about nine and one-half inches long,
one-hundredth of an inch wide. one-four-
hundredth of an inch thick 1t is coiled up
| in spiral form and finely tempered
The process of tempering these springs
was long held as a secret by the few fortu-
| nate ones possessing it. and even now 1t is
not generally known Their manufacture
requires great skill and care.
The strip is gauged to one-fifth OF an
| inch, but no measuring instrument has as
j
gauging to determine beforehand by the
size of the strip what the strength of the
finished spring will be.
one-fve-hundredth part of an inch diff
ference in the thickness of the strip makes
difference in the running OF a watch of
about six minutes per hour.
The value of these springs when finished
and placed in watches is enormous in pro-
portion to the material from which thew
are made. A ton of steel made up into
hair springs when in watches is worth
more than twelve and one-half times the
value of the same weight in pure gold
Hair-spring wire weighs one-twentieth of
grain to the inch. One mile of wire
weighs less than half pound. The ball
ance gives five vibrations every second
800 every minute, 1900 every hour, 4S2 900
every day, and 157 $50 600 every year
At each vibration it rotates about one
and one-fourth times. which makes 1q7,-
100000 revolutions every year. Take, for
illustration, a locomotive with six-foot
driving wheels.
Let its wheels be run until they have
given the same number of revolutions that
watch does in a year, and they viii have
covered a distance equal to twenty-eight
complete circuits of the earth.
All this a watch does without other att
tention than winding once every twenty-i
four hours. '
