His great t-grand- father, Michael Robin was the son of a seaman and his life was made up of battles on the sea. Several times he was taken prisoner, once he was to have been executed but he escaped with his life to Boston and returned to France on an American vessel to do battle for his country again.
 when he died he left a little money and a coasting vessel to Yann's father, who was also seaman. As a child the boy played about his grandfathers old seventeenth wooden house in the Rue du Boyer and there he listened to the stories of the Ice- landic fishermen until, as was perfectly natural for boy with such blood in his veins, he too became enraptured with the witchery of the sea life.

Henry Ward Beecher's Driving.
TFrom the Atlanta Journal

Henry Ward Beecher once told me
this good one on himself, continued the
doctor. He was going up among the
White mountains on stage coach
drawn by four horses. After while
it stopped before an inn. The driver,
a stalwart fellow, threw the reins to
Mr.. Beecher and asked him to hold the
horses while he went into the inn for
few moments. Mr.. Beecher felt very
proud when he held the four-in- hand.
1t is a dangerous thing, you know, for
minister to take the reins in his
hands. He is liable, then, to want to
have everything his own way. Mr..
Beecher was no exception to the rule.
He drew the reinS very tight.
What a bright idea he thought, TO
take a spin around the inn in the alb
sence of the driver, and show his friends
a fOur-in- hand He pulled the whip
and the horses started He pulled on
the reinS, wrong, of course, and the
horses went Zigzag, the leaders trying
to turn around and come back. while
the wheel horses forged forward. In
some unaccOuntable way the horses
managed to fall over against each other
and WIggled around the building The
wheels of the coach barked big tree.
The horses whirled right on, turning in
all the time, the hind wheel cut off a
slick Of the back yard fence. the coach
went hight up on the side wheels. but,
fortuna tely, settled back as the horses
pranced Sayly in miXed-up fashion to
the front of the inn, and the front wheel
tore away the post of the Veranda and
at last the team drew up in the front
yard with the heads of the wheel horses
facing the south and that of the leaders
pO1ed into the parlOr window.
q" Reef in the sail of the off horse,'
shouted the driver from the attic win
dow, bat Mr.. Beecher sat in that box
as ignorant of what to do next as an
Egyptian mummy.
Things were not Strengthened out I'M
til the driver rushed down, mounted the
seat ard took hold of the reins.
THAT driver was the king. He did in
q triCe what Mr.. Beecher could not do
with all his learning, wisdom and eIo-
quence- The driver had noticed how
to manage horses, but Mr.. Beecher
knew no more about them than an I'M
born babe. 1t was not his line, you

Greatest Electric Power House.
TFrom the New York World

From the New 4OTk w OIlQ-1
A three million dollar electric power
house, said to be the biggest of its kind
in the world, is in course of construc-
ton on the block between Ninety-ttth
and Ninety-sixth streets and nd the East
river. 1t has a frontage OF z5o Ieet anu
a depth of 400 feet
When the tremendous dynamos, gen
orators and engines have been placed IN
position and put in working order the
plant they constitute will furnish power
for the entire system of the Metropoll-
tan Street Railway company.
The plant has a chimney 353 feet hlgh
and 55 feet wide, making one of the
most powerful draught hues on earth
The building itself is 120 feet high.
When all the machinery has been
placed into position there Will be IL
each in the building. There will also be
IL vertical Corliss engines-one for each
generator.
The fly wheels of the engines will be
% feet in diameter and weigh 100 tons
each. One of the axles for the fly wheels
cost 900.
All the pieces of machinery will be
placed in position by tremendous
electric crane capable of lifting 80 tons
at a time.
The steam power for the great Corliss
engines, which will set the electric rail
way generators whirring, will come from
81 boilers, which occupy one half of the
house. filling the half section from cellar
to roof. For these boilers there Will be
furnaces of the most improved type
fed by automatic stokers. The boilers
are capable of standing a pressure of
1900 pounds to the square inch.
One of the most remarkabl features
of the steam supply system is a coal
bin on the power house roof, which
will hold 10000 tons of coal. From this
bin the coal planes throw chutes into
the furnaces. The placing of the coal
since many of the furnaces are near
the roof The 10 900 tons of coal will
last about two weeks. The ashes will
be dumped through chutes after being
cooled with water and removed by an
endless chain bucket system Coal and
ashes will be brought and removed in
scows Inoored beside the power house.
The cellar of the power house is as
wonderful as the upper floors. 1t is full
of an intricate system of valves, which
regulate the great volumes of steam
and water. and require the most care
full manipulation. One wrong turn of
wheel might cause terrible damage.
