STEAM TONNAGE.

Americas total steam tonnage
amounted at the end of last quarter to
6.712 vessels of 2,371,S23 tons, COM
pared with $3.50 vessels of 2,35S,55S
tons for the previous year. The yes
sells sold to the Government were all
steam vessels, so the true increase is
greater than the figures indicate. Sail
ing vessels have decreased from 1904
153 tons for 1897 to 1885 1927 tons for
1898. Documented canal boats and
barges amount to 1888 tons, COM
pared with $685. tons for the previous
years. The returns show that during
the first quarter of the current fiscal
year, to September so, the capacity of
the vessels built, and officially numb
cred. was S3,191 tons, compared with
&c, 800 tons for the corresponding per-
iod of last year 1t is added that prob
abilities point to considerably larger
aggNga output between this date and
June so next, than in any year for a
quarter of century past, with the ex-
ception of 1S90-91.

PHILIPPINES TELEGRAPH.

The transport Morgan City will carry
On her next trip to Manila 325 miles
of telegraph wire, with corresponding
quantity of material to erect that much
line, sufficient equipment for five con-
struction and repair parties, equipment
for forty separate telegraph offices and
four and one-half miles Of submarine
cable. The chief signal officer of San
Francisco, Col. Green, procured the en-
tire outfit, in compliance with instruc-
tons from the War Department al
Washington, purchasing everythn
needed at an outlay Of about $4,000
The outfit is complete in every detail
the proposed lines being so far remote
from the base of supplies that tbs
equipment had to be made complete in
all that is needed in and out OF tele-
graph office. This seems to indicate
| THAT the Government intends to estab
IIish communication with the interior
of the islands as its forces advance.

THE CAPTAIN LOSES.

OAKLAND, Jan. Airs. Isabella
Won Schmidt was granted a divorce to-
day from Capt. E. \. Won Schmidt, a
we'll known yachtsman and bar pilot.
The case was heard by Superior Judge
Greene, and lasted all day. Much SEN
sational testimony was brought out
By the terms OF the decree, Mrs. Won
Schmidt is given the custody of ths
children and allowed alimOny TO the
amount of So per month. Although
Capt. Won Schmidt fought the case
most vigorously, and did not hesitate
to drag his wife's name in the dirt
when it came to settlements, he was
willing that his wife should have al
of the household furniture and every
thing that would make the children
comfortable.

Some Detail of the Relief Work by
the United States.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-Charles w.
Gould has returned from the mission
intrusted to him by Secretary of War
Alger to relieve the starving people of
the island. His work has been the most
important accomplished in Cuba. In
three weeks he made arrangements for
the relief of 100000 persons. Only 10
per cent. of the food distributed by
him was given to the Cuban soldiers.
The rest was distributed among the
former reconcentrados.
Mr.. Gould also organized relief COM
mittees to procure work for the poor
in addition to the work of distributing
supplies to them. At Sagua II 600 per-
sons are already at work. The orphan
asylums founded by Mr.. Gould two
weeks ago are now working splendidly
No beggars are seen on the streets at
either Sagua or Cardenas. At Santa
Clara 4. 900 persons have found employ
| ment on farms.
AT Trinidad, Col. Brown of the
Fourth Tennessee Regiment was APP
pointed Chairman of the Relief Com
mittee. He is setting thousands OF peo-
pie at work At Matanzas 1900 are al
ready working. Mr.. Gould gave orders
to the committees to furnish rations
only to those who were willing to
| work. When the people display Wiling
| ness to work they receive provisions TIC
last them three months, and tools are
furnished to them by the committees
AS a result from 1000 to 5000 men are
returning weekly to agricultural pur'
suits.

A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIMENT.
How the Electrician Turned Pretty
Girl Into a Goddess.

81 witnessed strange and beauti-
full experiment the other day" said
an attache of one of the electric com
panies. "a friend who is an expert
electrician has a private workshop ad-
joining his house, and in it he sus-
pended a large sheet of zinc at a
height of about ten feet from the
floor. The wires holding it up were
connected with a battery, and the cur
rent could be switched on and off at
will. The day | was there he got his
sister-in-law to come out and stand
under the zinc, first letting down her
hair, which was chestnut in color and
fell in thick tresses clear below her
waiSS When he turned on the cur
reh2a wonderful thing happened.
That magnificent chestnut name rose
boldly upward and waved out fam
wise in every direction from her head
like rays from a star. 1t literally
framed over her face in a golden
brown halo that must have measured
nearly seven feet from side to side.
~The long locks on her crown stood al
most erect and reached to within a
fof or so of the zinc, and all through
th6mass was a faint ripping motion
like sNhlight on water. The young
lady who posed for us was under any
circumstances decidedly pretty, but
with her hair outsprcad in that ex-
traordinary manner she looked like
goddess, The phenomenon was
due, Of course, to the attraction ofthe
electricity with which the zinc plate
was charged, and was merely repeat
ing on a big scale an experiment have
often performed at school There we
used to hold stick of well-rubbed
sealing wax over the head of a small
doll and see its hair stand on end.

WHY DO MATNspRiNGs BREAKa
Me- Question is a Puzzler for Even Ex-
4 pert watchmakers.

USspite the Investigations regard
ing the structure of mainsprings and
the effort to improve them, despite the
experimentation and theorizing ON
the subject, some of the causes of the
breaking Of mainsprings remain an
uns9lyed mystery. Many, indeed, are
the Rnown causes responsible for
breaking, such as faulty construction
or tempering, careless handling, lead
ing to the formation of rust, and poor
fitting; but after all these which are
recognized have been eliminated
there still remains the fact well known
to watchmakers that the best.springs
will, in spite Of the most careful han
ding and proper adjustment, unex-
pectedly break, sometimes in a num-
Der ofplaces. twill thus happen that
of two springs made at the same time
by the same process, of the same ma
terial, tempered in the same way and
handled with the same care, one may
last for years, while the other may
break after tYo Yeeks' use, or even
while being placed in the barrel.
When It Is considered that the
spring is but from 00S to .o09 Of an
inch il thickness, that the material
must be subjected to a process which
shall give it high state Of elasticity
and at the same time enable it to do
its prescribed work for years, slight
molecular disarrangement in its sTuc-
ture may be expected to occur from
causes too Insignificant for observa-
ton. = s,gg, s,.,xv.-,--
Many jewelers. state that it is their
experience that they have many more
mainsprings to repair after warm,
humid day than at any other time.
Others believe the breaking to be due
to electric disturbances, stating that
after an electrical storm they find that
Slnany of their customers bring their
watches to them for repair. The sud
dereysooling and consequent contrac-
ton Of the tightly-wound handspring,
caused by the removal Of the watch
Irom the body on cool night follqy-
ing a warm day, is believed by soffe
to osaceount, in a measure, for the. ac-
cidents mentioned So far, however,
no entirely satisfactory explanation
has been suggested. The only conclu-
sion to be drawn from the acknowl-
edged facts of the case is that it is
not safe for the matchmaker to infer,
merely from the breaking of main
spring, that it is of an inferior grade,
nor for his customer to believe the
matchmaker deficient in skill because
the handspring Of his timepiece has
snapped shortly after being replaced.
