Mammoth Pile Raft Ready for Sea.

The last pile has been placed in the
mammoth raft at West Seattle works
of Robertson Raft Company, the
chains are being tightened and the
structure will be ready for launching
from the cradle by tomorrow night
or Monday morning. The craft will be
towed to San Francisco by the steamer
Czarina, sailing from here with a car
go of coal August 20, and will there be
placed on the market.
This is the largest cargo in ole ship
ment ever seen on the Pacific coast.
Other pile. RATS have been launched
an d taken to sea, but they were all
smaller. It is 625 feet long, 81
feet beam and 38 feet deep, drawing
"a feet of water Eleven thousand
piles compose the hull and cargo.
Work will be commenced on another
raft within two or three weeks, as it is
the intention to keep the plant in per-
manent operation, and by next sum-
mer it is hoped to have sent three or
tour others to San Francisco.
Considering the strange bulk oft his
cargo, this is perhaps the most remark
able structure ever seen in Puget
Sound. It has all the shape of a
whaleback, pointed at each end, with
hull outline and built to swim the seas
with the salty and buoyancy of a sail
ing vessel, and with rudder and can
vas would probably make fair progress
on its own account. These LOCO
piles, averaging sixty feet in length,
mean 100000 lineal feet, or eleven
times the pile cargo of a fair sized sail
ing ship, and are taken to their destin-
alton with average safety and without
the expense of employees. The only
cost of making and marketing the raft
is the cradle, the dozen or SO en-
ployes for three months, the 5000 feet
of chain that holds the piles together
in their original form and the towing
to San Francisco. The cost OF the
entire plant, Guiding the cradle, will
not much exceed SIS 900.
The chains wrapping the hulk are
two inches in diameter, and placed SIX
feet apart from end to end, interviewer
and bound SO that the raft is as strong
as a vessel, and nothing but the sever
est storms can break it up. Work
was commenced loading this craft last
spring, and proceeded more slowly
than usual on account Of the newness
Of the apparatus and the difficulty at
first Of getting enough piles.
Slmiliar raft of 600 feet length, be-
longing TO the same company, was
laanched at Stella on the Columbia
river, last Saturday, and will be start
ed on It's voyage down the coast about
the same time as the West Seattle
raft.-P.-I.

Origin Of the Round Robin.


The Greeks invented the round robin
the latest use of which has been in con-
nection with the protest of the corre-
spondents to the censorship at Manila.
Some oil the citizens of ancient Athens,
wishing to protest against the tyranny
OF their ruler, drew a circle at the bot
tom of their manifesto, divided it into
equal compartments by drawing lines
from the circumference to the center,
and signed their names in the spaces
so made, SO that it was impossible to
tell who was the first man to sign, and
consequently, the leader of the conspir-
acy. At the banquets of the old Ro-
mans list OF the guests was made in the
same way, SO that no one of them
could feel himself particularly honor
ed above the others. In the navy
when the sailors feel themselves injured
they have the right OF presenting
round robin totl:eir commanding off,

Scientific Oyster Experiments.

| Professor Doane OF the state agricul-
/ tural college has completed hisexperi-
mentswith the propagation Of East
ern oysters at Tekeland. on Willapa
harbor. He will make "a complete
written report 70 Fish Commissioner
Little within short time. Professor
Washburne has been engaged in that
work for several years, and Professor
Doane intends to incorporate some
thing of the results he has accom-
plished in his report.
! The report of Professor Doane will
not show the result of any state ex-
perinentswith actual oyster propaga-
tlon,-bat will show the results OF his
water tests and study of the work of
private corporations and oystermen
who have been engaged in the work at
Tokeland and at other points on the
| harbor for some time. He is also ex-
pected to deal with the adaptability of
the French park system of handling
oysters
From preliminary reports and let
ters OF Professor Doane it is apparent
he is somewhat impressed with the
possibilities of the French park system
of oyster propagation. This includes
the enclosing of a small arm of bay or
harbor by dyke, with a gate allowing
the water to enter or depart. The in
terror is usually provided with shrub
berry Oh which the young oysters can
cling after hatched.
This advantage OF the system is that
large percentage OF the oyster spawn
on new grounds is washed out to sea
on receding tides. The closed gate
-prevents this. A second advantage is
that the ground is always covered with
water and there is no danger of oys-
ters freezing in winter during a long
run-out of the tide Oysters from the
park are transplanted to private beds.
I AS soon as Professor Doane presents
his report on mis- work at Willapa har-
Dor he will be asked by the fish COM
missioner to conduct experiments on
] Oyster bay on Puget Sound. The leg
lslature made an appropriation for the
work, and it is expected an equal share
should be spent on Puget Sound. Fish
Commissioner Little expects Professor
Doane will gladly accede to his re-
quest, as not only he, but the whole
agricultural college staff is enthusiast
ic over the work.
Samish bay and a small inlet in The
straits in Clallam county have been
suggested as available for the oyster
experiments on the Sound, but it is
believed Oyster bay, between Shelton
aud Olympia is the best site.
Two cars of Eastern oysters will be
imported by the fish commissioner this
winter for use in conducting his ex-
periments. These will be equally di-
vided between the Puget Sound and
Willipa harbor stations. BY the time
OF their receipt it is expected the pre-
liminary work will have advanced to
|
the presence OF an expert to direct it.
/ The importation of the two cars is
the first of several to be made. 1t is
probable other oysters will be import
ed with stated regularity until it is
finally demonstrated Eastern oysters
can be imported and will live in state
waters.-Tacoma Ledger.

and flesh of their flesh? And who can
depict the hopelessness and detection
that hover about the home where the
wife is incapable of becoming mother? ?
Barrenness proceeds from some derange-
ment of the distinctly feminine organs.
Many of the common ailments known as
"female troubles" cause it. DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription overcomes barren
ness by stamping out diseases of women,
and by healing and curing liberation. It
tones up the system, stops drains, and
restores strength. During CESSATION it
n1odifes morning sickness, gives elastic
ity to the overstrained parts concerned,
makes the hour of baby's coming short
and almost painless, and gives wonderful
recuperative power to the patient By
making the mother strong and cheerful
it makes the little one healthy, vigorous
and good natured. Insist upon the med
icine dealer giving you DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription when you ask for it.
Substitutes are often dangerous.
Syracuse, N. Y, writes: Your medicines have
done wonders for me. For years my health was
very poor; had four fniscarriages but since
taking DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

TWO MEN INJURED.
Engineer and Brakeman Hurt While
at Work Yesterday.

Emerson Rahle. of North Scranton,
employed as engineer at the Storrs
colliery, was painfully injured by fall
ing from a step-ladder while at work
yesterday. His right thigh was frac-
tured and he was removed to the
Moses Taylor hospital where the frac-
ture was reduced.
Simon Stein, of Clarke Summit, em-
ployed as a brakeman on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail-
road, narrowly escaped serious or ia
tai injury yesterday at noon while at
work. Some freight cars were being
moved around, and Stein, who was
on one of them, was Jared off by the
dumping up" the roof being icy, he
could not retain his foot hold. In fall
ing he struck his head and il was
feared his skull was fractured. Upor

MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.
Wrecked Kitchen Range at DIR.
Caldwell's Residence.

A terrific explosion occurred Saturday
morning at the residence of DR.. Cald-
well, Of West Market street, North
Scranton. by which the kitchen range
was almost destroyed The cause of
the explosion is a mystery, but its force
would seem to lend strength to the be-
lief that IL Wa due to a high explosive
compound. The front part Of the range
was blown into atoms, many fragments
being imbedded in the walls and cell
ing.
That instant death and serious in
Jury did not follow is miraculous, and
fortunately so, as few moments be-
fore the explosion occurred a nurse
and DR.. CaldwelPs little daughter had
retired to another room. The baby's

they were seated, We're broken into
kindling wood by the flying pieces of
iron. Mrs. Caldwell, who was about to
remove a kettle from the stove when
the explosion occurred, was struck on
the left cheek by a live coal, making
painful burn, but escaped any further
injury. The scattered Goals set the car
pet ablaze. but the flames We're quickly

Efforts of the Pennsylvania Anti.

The first state convention of the

IDEA NOT ABANDONED.
Good Deal of Work Is Being Done
Towards Bringing About Com
bination of Local Electric
Light Companies.

The work of trying to bring about a
consolidation, or at least a general
understanding, among the electric light
companies of this city and Dunmore
has not been abandoned. During last
end in view was done.
Something definite is likely to be ac-
complished this week, as the option on
the stock of the Dunmore Electric Light
company obtained by Maurice w. Col
Inns expirec Thursday. The following
special dispatch from Pittsburg, in the
Philadelphia Press OF Saturday, shows
that the consolidation has more than
local significance:
It is reported in Pittsburg, as well os
in Harrisburg. that q gigantic trust to
control all the light, heat and power COM
panies of any importance in the state is
in process of formation. The lIosack
corporation bill now pending in the leg
islature, is said to be intended to favor
the project. Patents controlled by Geo.
l. whitney, of this city, II is said, will
also figure in it very largely. One of
them is on new storage battery, which
1t is claimed, will reVolutionize the pres
ent methods.
According to the reports all light heat
and power interests are to be consolidat-
| ed Power for traction companies is to
! be supplied and the general electric busl-
/ ness carried on. The trust is already
well formed and is said to have options
on all the electric light plants of the
! state.
Among those interested are said to be
! Thomas Dolan, John Wanamaker ant
other capitalists of Philadelphia; G. l.
| Nagee. William Finn, George ]. Whit
ney, ex-Judge James II. Reed and some
of the Westinghouse people, in Pittsburg
and Brown Brothers, the bankers, o
Baltimore and New York. Charters fo
an aggregate capital of sG7,0OO,oOO hav,
recently been secured in New Jersey.
An authority upon electric light mat
ters said there are about $50 corporations
| operating plants in the state, and tina
their aggregate capital is probably S75,

Cold Drove Him Out.

Edward LAWN and Henry Young,
employed as firemen at the Vandling
colliery are reciting an experience
novel in its cause. A quarter of a
mile from the breaker is a fan house,
which the men visit as part of their
regular duties. \ short stretch of
woods lies between the breaker and
fan house. Friday night, while pass
ing through the woods, the men en-
countered a panther. They yelled.
Bill Simerson came to their resuce
and the painter" fed. 1t is probable
that the alleged panther was driven out
of his lair by cold and hunger and
was awaiting a meal.

is making army history at Manila with
his regulars and volunteers. is we'll

that the gallant officers wife is a
