strange tales of it. Besides the Maria

Abyssinia, for small change, use bar
of hard, crystalized salt, about ten
inches long and two inches and half
broad and thick, slightly tapering to-
ward the end, five of which go to the
dollar at the capital. People are very
particular about the standard fneness
of the currency. If it does not ring
like metal, or If it is at all Clipped.
nothing will induce them to take 1t.
Then, it is token Of affection among
the natives, when friends meet, to give
each other a lick of their respective
amolis, and in this way the material
value Of the bar is also decreased. For
still smaller change cartridges are
used, of which three go to one salt

UNEXPECTED PERFORMANCE.
New Baldwin Engine Loses Wager
For Las Vegas StOrekeeper.

The Las Vegas Optic relates the fol-
lowing story directly egard1ng the
work of one of the new Santa f'e Bald
win engines:
"Traiu Dispatcher Bristol lie waiting
patiently on Storekeeper F. 0. Blood
for the payment OF a wager entered IN
to between them last Thursday after
noon. Mr.. Blood, it seems, owes Mr.:
Bristol bottle of the best stuff that
is put up' This is, however, an elas-
tic term aud Mr.. Bristol fs In conse-
auence a little in doubt as to what IL
really meaus.
SIT al! happened last Thursday after
noon Mr.. Blood was about to take
No. l train to go to Albuquerque;
There were eight cars on the train, all
of them being heavily loaded, and the
train WAS an hour behind time. Just
then one of the Few Baldwin locomo-
tives, No S37, backed up to the train
and hooked on to the cars. 1t was evil
dent that this engine was to perform
the service usually performed in times
past by two engines.
"sOh, say, said Storekeeper Blood
to the train dispatcher, L want to get
10 Albuquerque tonight. The train Is
an hour late now
swell. replied Mr.. Bristol. I1l
wager you $40 that you will get to Al
buQuerque on time
'fThe two gentlemen bantered each
other on the probability of getting to
Albuquerque and finally Mr.. Blood
made the wager as stated, a bottle OF
the best stuff that is put up
SIT is just possible that the train dis
pascher took more than usual interest
in the progress made by No. that al
sernoon, for when the train reached
Bernslillo. having made up all the
time that was lost, this telegram was
thrust into Mr. Blood's hands:

power of a boat and decrease the re-
sistance of the hull to the water,
and the keeuest thought of ship build
ers has been exerted toward this,
to give width of beam, and to place
tn ballast at the incest point. The
result has been to cut away the for
ward part of the vessel so that the
whole bow is nothing but q long slim
blade; the shoulder-the point where
| the inward and downward curve of the
| vessel begins-is raised as high as
possible and deep keel with ninety
tons of lead is Oat It's lowest point.
The Dimensions of each boat are
supposed to be kept strictly secret but
in fact they are pretty we'll known.
The shamrock's length overall is about
132 feet 2 inches; length on the water
line, 81 feet 8 inches: beam, "a feet
| inches; draft 20 feet; sail area IA, 125
square feet. The Colum bis measures
over all, 131 feet; water line 80 feet 6
inches; beam, "a feet 2 inches; draft 19
feet 10 inches and sail area IL, $40 feet.
The dimensions of the boats
are titanic-the Columbia's top
mast is over I. hundred and forty
q hundred feet long and she carries 8
main sail that weighs over ton. The
Shamrock is we'll matched against her
and the race should be q magnificent
one between the gigantic wings.
The races will take place off Sandy
Hook and the winner must outdistance
her competitor in two out Of three
races. There are two courses, the
boats sailing one and then the other
alternately until the race is won The
fret course Ia fifteen miles sail to the
windward and return, the second to
sail around triangle each of whose
sides is ten miles long. This is the
fairest possible test for q
boat as every bit of her
speed and skill Ia involved in the Sail
ing and the best boat must win. Both
boats will be sailed by the finest cap
tains and crews that England and
America can produce. The Columbia
captain is Charles Barr, Scot by birth
but an American citizen and captain
whose skill is never questioned by wise
yachtsmen. His crew is composed of
men from Deer Isle, Maine, 81 place IA
nous for its sailor boys, and the
men have been drilled hard ali summer
until they are familiar with every inch
of the Columbia's planks and every
thread of her ropes and as quick and
Archie Hogarth is reckoned one of
Britain's most skilful shippers while
he will have Peter Donaldson, skill
full amateur sailor, to represent Sir
Thomas Upton who Is not himself an
expert yachtsman.
Now as to the cost of this sport the
Colum bia in the first place cost S75 900
just to build and fit her out and by the
time the crew 10 paid. the captain gets
his big checks, and the expense of all
the smaller boats thetaccompany the
Yacht are counted up, $3.50, 900 is easily
reached.
The Britisher must be put to about
equal expense and it Is not difficult to
reckon that yacht racing is about as
expensive a sport as the world has ever
known.

A PECULIAR GUN.

A gun that is not a gun, but that
has done some really fine work, if the
testimony of it's owner be credited, is
one that belongs to an ardent ornithol-
ogist. He walked into a New Orleans
hotel not long ago, and created some
thing of a sensation by the package he
carried. 1t had the general appearance
of a gun-case, except that it was ex-
tremely short and thick.
While the stranger was registering
and chatting with the clerk, two or
three guests, sitting by, got into an
animated discussion as to the contents
of the queer-looking parcel. At last
one of them introduced himself to the
newcomer for the purpose of settling
the contention. He ventured to ask
what the case contained. stranger
smiled.
The case contains a gum" he said,
and he proceeded to confirm his words
by exhibiting the peculiar weapon. The
stock was like that of an ordinary
shotgun, but the barrel was fully four
inches in diameter, and covered with
~~SNA'
square box furnished with several
small levers.
"I am an amateur ornithologist, he
said, land this is a gun-camera, used in
studying wing movements. I level it
on a flying bird, just as I might a real
firearm, and pull the trigger. Instead
of exploding shell, it springs a shut
ter, and 1 have my subject transfixed
on the film. 1 can take twelve shots,
and the instrument reloads very much
like any camera.
"The form is simply for convenience
in focusing, and it has enabled me to
get really remarkable pictures. For
instance, I have photographed such
fast flyers as snipe in every conceivable
position, from head on, to pointblank
retreat, a thing that could not be done
with an ordinary camera"
This strange gun was of French
make, but It had done some remarka-
BILE execution in American territory.
