The principal dimensions are:
Length over all, SO feet; extreme
breadth, ITO feet 9 inches; height from
bottom of pontoon to top of walls, 43
feet Z inches. The internal width is
sumc1ent to allow vessels up to 81 feet
beam to be locked and the depth over
the keel blocks is "a feet. The maxi
mum lifting power is about 10000 tons.
The dock is what is known as the
self-docking type, that is to say, access
to all external surfaces Is possible for
painting or repairs. Longitudinally it
consists of two side walls, between
which are connected three pontoons,
the center one being 240 feet long and
the two end pontoons 1876 feet. The
pumping and controlling machinery
consists Of eight horizontal centrifugal
circulating pumps, placed four in each
wall of the dock. These pumps have
large vertical shafts geared by means
OF bevel wheels and horizontal shafts
to two sets Of compound engines Of
l25-horse-power each, which are placed
on deck near the top of the walls.
There are four engines in all and each
of them drives two fifteen-inch centri-
fugal pumps, the whole machinery be-
ing capable of lifting a ship Of about
11,0O0 tons displacement clear of the
water in about two and one-half hours.
The dock is divided into thirty-eight
water-tight compartments, each emp
tied or filled by separate valves. Each

al multi-tubular marine boiler which is
placed in the walls in close proximity

DANGEROUS PIGS.

A writer in the St. Louis Republic
says that the most vicious and fearless
member Of the brute creation is the
peccary, or wild hog, of Mexico. This
animal seems utterly devoid of fear.
and displays intelligence in fighting
man strangely at variance with It's ap-
parently complete lack of mental at
tributes.
Their ability to scent men is par
ticularly marked. The only thing to do
when they get after you is to run away
from them as fast as a horse can carry
you. And then there is no certainty
that they won't catch you. They are
nearly as swift as a horse, and their
endurance is as great as their vicious
ness.
friend of mine encountered drove
of them in wild part of Mexico few
years ago, and his escape was almost
miraculous. He very foolishly shot
and wounded a number of them. Then
he took refuge in tree.
The peccaries kept him in the tree
all that day and through the night.
They circled round the tree, granting
and sQuealing their delight at the
prospect of a feast. He soon exhausted
his ammunition and brought down a
peccary at each fire, but this had no
terrors for the beasts.
Toward morning they began to eat
those he had killed, after which they
. formed in line and trotted off. If they
had not had some of their own number
to devour they would have guarded
that tree until my friend, through
sheer exhaustion, dropped from his
perch and allowed them to make
meal of him.
The wildcats and tigers that infest
the Mexican wilds flee from the pee
carries with instructive fear, and even
rattlesnakes keep out of their path.

Do you know where the Seventh is
IN this time Of the war when they
could do more to hunt down and exter-
inmate the sulking spaniards in
Cuba than could any other like organi-
zation in the service Of the nation,
who know most about their style OF
lighting and how to meet it? They are
scattered through the southwest In
little army garrisons Of one and two
companies, keeping their eyes on the
Indians to see that they behave them
selves on issue day and the brief
period of exhuberance that follows.
They faithfully carry out the daily
routine of military life, go through
the usual evolutions on the sun-baked
parade grounds every day, mount
guard and attend with prompt pre-
cls1on to every other duty. Not
man among them utters complaint,
but remarks Of disappointment as they
discuss the war news which reaches
them through belated newspapers.
Every soldier knows how they feel,
now their blood warns and their
nerves tingle.c Yet they, the tried and
seasoned fighters of the army, the men
who have followed the most daring
leaders, are out there doing police duty
while raw recruits are sent to the front
TO combat foe that employs the same
tactics with which the Seventh is so ia
miliar and has so successfully met.
my own opinion is, and it is shared
by other disinterested military men
OF the country, that the Seventh has
taken up too much space in the army
history OF the country for the last
thirty years, that there are certain men
and cliques Of influence that are jeal-
GUS OF It's record, and that it is being
ruthlessly suppressed. More than
once its daring officers have been
brought upon the carpet after some
brilliant victory over the Utes, APP
aches or Sioux, only to be exonerated
and complimented from the war de-
partment. There is some unworthy
an1mus behind such harassment of
brave men, and I believe that it is still
operative against the Seventh. Public
sentiment should be aroused, at least
to the extent of demanding an ex-
PLANTATION. It would have been just
as foolish and inexcusable during the
civil war to have placed the worthy
followers Of such men as Custer and
Sheridan on post duty in some peace
able section of the country"

Tho Japanese Idea.

The Japanese are just famous for
their skillful arrangement of flowers,
by which the poorest of blooms are
made to look their best, by being so
displayed that their full beauty can be
appreciated. Most Of these good ef-
fects are produced by placing the flow
ers very sparsely in bamboo tubes, no
attempt at crowded bouquet being
ever made. The latest importation
from Japan for the purposes of floral
decoration consists merely of long
strip of lead, which is crinkled and
crumpled up into as many folds and
fittings as possible. These crumples
must be SO managed as not to inter

DEER HUNTING WITH EAGLES.

Il The berkute or bearcoote, the golden
eagle, is trained and used by the ma
tives Of Tartary and the Kirghiss
steppes for hunting foxes, wolves,
bears and deer, says Forest and
Stream. Mr.. Harting quotes this de-.
scription from Atkinson: 1--WE had not
gone far when several large deer
rushed past a jutting point Of the.
rocks and bounded over the plain
about 300 yards from us. In an in
slant the bearcoote was unhooded and
his shackles removed, when he sprang
from his perch and scared into the air.
/ watched him ascend as he wheeled
round, and was under the impression
that he had not seen the animals; but
in this I was mistaken. He had now
risen to considerable height, and
seemed to poise himself for minute.
After this he gave two or three flaps
!. with his wings and swooped off in
straight line toward his prey. I could
not perceive that his wings moved, but
he went at fearful rate of speed.
gave my horse his head and a touch of
the whip; in few minutes he carried
me to the front, and I was riding neck
and neck with one of the keepers.
When we were about 200 yards off the
bearcoote had struck one talon into
his neck, the other into his back, and
with his beak was tearing into the ami
mails liver.''

The fan has a wheel fifty -four inches
in diameter and runs at almost any
rate OF speed desired. The draught is
something prodigious and makes it
possible to employ fuel of lower
grade than any heretofore used. In
stead OF the best Cumberland coal. a
mixture Of Cumberland and screenings
has been tried. The cost of operating
the fan, even with imperfect apparatus,
Is something like $500 per annum. The
smoke stack is scarcely taller than the
roof of the building, and of less capa-
city than heretofore used for such pur-
poses.

Cavalry Horses In Battle.

NuValry HORSES t30CGl0s
The veteran cavalry horse partakes
of the hopes and fears of battle. just
the same as his rider, says the st.
Louis Republic. As the column swings
into line and waits the horse grows
nervous over the waiting. If the wait
is spun out he will tremble and sweat,
and grow apprehersive
Il a cavalry horse mas been six
months in service he knows every bu-
gle call. As the call comes to advance
the rider can feel him working his
teeth. AS he moves out he will either
seek to get on faster than he should or
to bolt. He cannot bolt, however. The
lines will carry him forward and after
minute he will grip the bit, lay back
his ears and one can feel his sudden
resolve to brave the worst, and have
done with it as soon as possible.
When the troopers begin to cheer
and the sabers to flash the horse re-
spends. An exultation fills his heart;
he will often scream out and his eyes
blaze and are fixed steadily in front.
No matter how obstinate he was at the
start he will not fail as the lines cover
the last fifty feet of space. If volley
comes, and he is unhurt he will lower
his head and toss it right and left, and
then take sudden breath for the
crash. If charging infantry he will
thunder straight at man and knock
him down; If against line of horse
men he will lift his head and front feet
as if going over fence.
A man seldom cries when hit in the
tumult of battle. It is the same with
the horse. Five troopers out of six
when struck by a bullet are out of the
saddle within a minute. If hit in the
breast or shoulder up go their hands
and they get a heavy fall, if in the
leg or foot or arm, they fall forward
and roll off. Even with a foot cut off
by Jagged piece Of shell horse will
not drop. 1t is only when shot through
the head or heart that he comes down.
He may be fatally wounded, but he
hobbies out Of the fight to right or left,
and stands with dropping head until
loss of blood brings him down. !
The horse that loses his rider and Is
unwounded himself will continue to
run with his set Of tours until some
movement throws him out. Then he
goes galloping here and there, neighing
with fear and alarm, but will not leave
the field. In racing about he may get
among the dead and wounded, but he
will dodge them il possible, and in any
case leap over them. When he has
come upon three or four riderless
steeds they will fall in and keep to-
gether, as II for mutual protection, and
the rally on the bugle may bring the
whole OF them into the ranks In a body.

How 1t Happened.

"My DEAR" said Mrs. Richleigh to
her daughter the other evening after
young Woody had departed, chow did
your hair become so disarranged?
"Why, mamma" replied the quick
witted miss, II guess it must be from
shaking my head so much when Mr..
Woody was trying to coax me to say
yes.' And the mother suddenly re-
membered that she had once been a
girl herself.
