idg that if it will not disarrange the

Before receiving. General Butter
fields letter one Of the propellers of
the Olympia was twisted. In con
sequence it willuse only one engine
and will take direct course across
the Atlantic until the gulf stream is
reached. 1t will then cruise about
within easy distance of New York,
so as to be absolutely certain of not
causing any hitch or disappoint-
ment.
The admiral has made two re-
quests of General Butterfeld, both
in the interest of his men. He wish
es that his seamen precede the
marines in the parade and that a
band be supplied in place of the
| Olympia's, as the musicians of the
war ship will not be in condition to
stand the fatigue of the long march
while playing. The admiral has
fully recovered and is looking ex.
trenely we'll.

So much has been said and writ
ten of late on the subject of sub
marine navigation that the recent
launching of Simon Lakes New
Argonaut cannot fail to be of inter-
est, even though the boat is not pri-
marily intended for use in war. The
purposes of this new boat is largely
scientific, and, after making an eX-
ploration of various wrecks along
the coast, it is probable that she
will be sent south to locate new
sponge beds in the West Indies, and
that an attempt will be made to
penetrate beneath the ice foes of
the Antarctic ocean. The New Ar
gonaut is sixty-siN feet long and ten
feet wide, and weighs about one
hundred tons. The boat will habit
ually travel on the surface until it
reaches the place where it desires
to submerge. It will then drop
downhaul weights from it's reel,
and by winding up the cables that
are attached to the windlass within,
and letting water into it's ballast
tanks, sink directly down On the
bottom it will become submarine
automobile, rolling over the sands
on three wheels propelled by cleo
trio engines and gas engines, and
aided by it's crews.-EXchange.

Not many people know that the
average growth of the finger nails
is one-thirty-second of an inch a
week, or little more than one and a
half inches year. observed ply
stefan recently The growth, how
ever, dependsto great extent upon
the rate of nutrition, and during
sickness and absence from good,
nourishing food it is retarded. The
nails grow faster in summer than
in winter. Growth differs for the
different fingers, being most rapid
on the middle fingers, and slowest
on the thumb. The average time
taken for each finger nail to grow
to its full length is about four and
a half months, and at this rate a
man seventy years of age would
have renewed his finger nails one
hundred and eightysix times. TAX
ing the length of each nail at half
an inch, hewould have grown seven
feet nine inches of nails on each
finger, and on all his fingers and
thumbs an aggregate length of
seventy-seven feet and six inches.

remains uneNpended, the disburse-
ments having been less by $6,397 ,956

ed; but the remarkable vitality of

injured yesterday while clearing away

ture Of his left leg and frightfully
crushing his jawbone. He was brought

The city board Of public WORKS Is ex-
periencing dlmculty in securing the
brick necessary with which to fnl5h up
its several paving Jobs this summer
and all because the city engineer and
the board are determined that the city
shall not have the streets paved with
an inferior quality Of brick.
Last spriug the contract for the fire
brick to be used for street paving was
given to the Globe Brick Company OF
New Cumberland. AZ that time all the
brick manufacturers were bidding for
the contract, and very favorable bids
were received. especially that of the
Globe company. The earlier eonsign-
ments of brick were satisfactory. and
passed muster with City Engineer
White. Recently, however, the brick
manufacturersha have been unable to keep
up with the procession Of orders, and
their product is worth fully 81 a thou
sand more in the open market than the
city Of Wheeling is paying the Globe
company. This scarcity has been re-
sponslble for the turning out of some
inferior brick, the manufacturers firing
up with a more intense heat In order to
get their product out quicker; the result
was brick that are brittle and not tenn
pered, as they should be. Late con-
slgnments to Wheeling from the Globe
company have shown this fault, and the
city engineer promptly condemned
them, the board of public works en-
dorslng the engineers action.
The board has now given the Globe
people the required twenty days notice,
It being a provision of the company's
contract with the city that brick of good
quality must be furnished within that
period, and II the company fails the
city can get brick elsewhere, and the
Globe company will indemnify the city
for any difference in the price paid. 1t
is believed, however. that the Globe
company will be able to furnish brick
of the right quality within the twenty
days.
The recent COMBINATIONS Of brick
have delayed several pieces of street
paving. on which the grading has al
ready been done, including the follow
ing: Paper mill alley, Alley II. and Al
ley c., near the Y. NJ, C. A building;
Wood street, between Fifteenth and
Sixteenth, and on North York and South
Front streets, Island.
The brick condemned by the city en-
gineer were disposed of by the Globe
company to local customers without
difficulty, owing to the brick famine
and 1t is said at a price higher than
would have been received from the
city.
