GUNBoAT IN 1900 PIECES.
That's the Way 1t Is to Be Shipped
from England to Lake Nyassa,

English naval constructors are very
much interested in =, gunboat which
has just been completed for service IN
Lake Nyassa. in Central Africa, and is
to be shipped to that point in pieces like
a Chinese puzzle. This boat, the Guen-
dolen. is now split Up into 1,5OO pack
ages for transportation. \ reporter of
the London Echo describes the boat
in his account Of his interview with j.
y. Rennie of the engineering firm which
built the GuendOlen.
so there is going to be fighting on
Lake Nyassa?" | remarked tentatively.
Il never said So" he replied with lit
ting diplomacy.
Then that's my mistake; | merely
judged so from the fact of your taking
out what on a lake would be consid-
cred first-Class battleship for the
Guendolcn is heavily armed, Is she

Yes if you call six MaXimS and four
Hotchkiss guns a big armament. She
is intended t. replace the three small
gunbCats now on the lake which are
practically obsolete. and is a vast inn
provement on them I'm every way. Her
length is 1856 feet, beam % and tonnage
80, and with a draught feet inches
is intended to steam twelve knots"
Il suppose the depth of the lake did
not necessitate a shallow dra 9Th ves-

by no means, as there Is plenty of
water even close inshOre, that enabled
us to have twin screws, for on shallow

she Is quite normal type. except for
the fact that she is fitted with Fras-
cr'S undor-fircd boilers. and will burn
wood fuel, of which there is an ahund-
anCe in and around the lake; coal is
only brought up from the coast for the
use of two or three forges, at a cost

"And that difficulty will be increased
in the case Of a gunboat, | should i'm.

Not so.much as you think" said Mr..
Rennie. "Yuu see, We can only bolt,
not rivet her together i'm the yard here,
SO as to insure the perfect fitting of
every part. In this condition the Gueu-
dOlen was inspected by Sir Edward
Reed, who expressed himself as thor
oughly satisfied with her. Then she
was taken to pieces, every piece being
previously numbered. and on a small
model these numbers are marked off,
the internal fittings-of course the
model is only of tine outside of the hull

up into 1900 packages, that containing
the boiler Of 2la tons being the heaviest,
so that on her arrival tbsle need be no
difficulty whatever in putting her to-

Mr.. Rennie added that If one Of the
packages should be lost, it would be
difficult to replace it. The packages are
to be transported for miles over a
rough country by bullock wagons, and
an extra weight is an important con-
sideratlon, no spare parts are carried,
Commander Cullen, r. n. r., the COM
mander-in- chief on the lake has charge
of the transportation, and he will SUI

FELL THREE STORIES.
Remarkable Experience of William
Price of Penn Avenue-Saved by
Electric Light Wires.

About 2:15 this morning William
Price, a hotel waiter, fell from a third
story window at his boarding place at
3l6 Penn avenue. He was sitting in
the window when he lost his balance
and fell backwards. One story down
he encountered electric light wires
which broke the fall to a certain ex-
tent and burned one of his arms At
the second story he struck a sign
which went down with him. Price
landed on his back on the stone walk
and Police Officer Peuster and a num-
Der of persons rushed to the spot.
The officer had scarcely reached the
PROSTATE figure when Price sprang to
his feet and walked up stairs, appar-
entity no worse for his fall.

THE CHINESE CALENDAR.
Some Queer Divisions of Time and
Names Applied to Them.

From the Staats Zeitung.
The Chinese do not compute their
time by centuries, but periods of sixty
years duck shianslX wood; each year
in this space Of time has its own name,
partly relating to the five clements
adopted by the Chinese sages, VIZ,
wood, fire, earth, mineral and water
partly connected with denominations
of live creatures such as ras. cattle,
tiger, hare, etc. From the combination
of these two factors into a double
word results, at the same time,
whether the year is lucky or an
unlucky one. If. for instance, wood
and cattle meet in the name Of
year, this signifies a good crop; lire
and tiger prOphesy a year Of war. The
year 1897 bore the name of diaEh dan
fire and fowl-and signifies "a year
of peace. The Chinese attach great
value to these names, AMI are i"C-
quently governed in their enterprises
by the fact whether the name of the
year implies luck or haI luck. The
division of the year is a two fold one,
it being divided into twelve months
and twenty-four semi-months, The
latter bear the signs of the old Chinese
zodiac. and are called rain water, vcr-
nal equinox, pure light, rain for the
fruit, morning lush of summer, little
rainy season, seed of the herbs, sum-
mer solstice, commencement eff the
heat, great heat, sign of autumn, end
of the heat, white dew, etc. Like us,
the Chinese have four seasons mua)
The months have alternately twenty
nine Cweak mOnths) and thirty days
(strOng months); frequently leap
months are introduced for the sake
OF equalization According to the
Chinese calendar. there are also two
kinds of weeks, some OF ten days and
others of fifteen days, so that month
is divided either into two or three
weeks. The first days Of the months
are designated by numbers, but the
first day is also called that of the
weasel and the last one that of return,
every day of the full moon being styled
the day Of hope. The night is taken
at seven hours, the day at five. The
counting Of twelve hours. each equal
to two of ours, commences at II o'clock
at night
Frequently, however, the hours are
also designated by animal names; thus
the midnight hour is called the hour of
the rat, while the midday hour is that
Of the horse. Each hour is divided into
double minutes, minutes. and seconds.

ized-Its Line of Work.

At meeting of the Board of Directors
Of the Richmond Society for the Proven

The branch has adopted as it's princips
that conservatism which has been the
characteristic of the society since its
formation. 1t is the friend of stock
owners and protector Of the poor, dumb
creatures who cannot cry out against
the superior being who so often wilfuliy
maltreats them. All men paying an an
nual sum of s.. and all women and chill
dren paying an annual sum Of 81 are en-
titled TO membership, and it is earnestly
hoped that a substantial and hearty CO.

can do so by sending their names to
either the secretary. Mrs. William Muir
