Before the days OF the steam tug the great
sailing vessels had to come to their wharves
as best they could. and the task of coming up
the harbor and making ready to discharge and
load was a severe and often a tedious one. Now,
every vessel that comes in is brought to its
berth by the little tugs.
The work is done by about forty firms, whose
business is secured to a great extent on the
floor Of the Maritime Exchange. There the
owners and brokers meet, and there contracts
for various kinds of towing are made. Taking
vessels to Philadelphia or to Boston. towing

sailing vessel to their docks or moving them out

which the tugs are put, and the me2 who are

people down the Bay to meet incoming friends.
During the war with Spain n number Of tugs
from New WORK went to Cuban waters, where
they became dispatch and observation boats and
poked their noses into every nook and corner
The Government bought at that time num-
ber Of tugs Of all sizes and kinds. The cheapest
of these cost the Government $1,000. while the
most expensive. bought on the Pacific Coast OK
the Spreckels company cost $4,000

ports is that they carry no guns, and even Wheh

prescribed by the regulations, and they provide
that bathing will be enforced and swimming

Seven of the twelve Army transports In the

their yellow tunnels decorated with bands OF
red white and blue made them conspicuous

feature Of the transports which attracted I'M
mediate attention was the transport flag, made
from the design of William +. Costcn, which

One of the transports, the Buford, came from
Havana in charge of Captain Martens with 10
discharged soldiers and % passengers, and some
United States stores, and the Burnside In
command of Captain Moses Walton jr., from
San Juan and Santiago. The Burnside was the
English built Spanish ship Reta, which was
captured on the coast of Porto Rico by the
Yale. She was sold by the Navy Department
to the Quartermaster's Department, and con-
verted into a transport. and as such she made
frequent trips between New-YOrh and San Juan

CHINESE INDIFFERENCE TO PAIN.

"A very curious thing about the Chinese is
their indifference to pain" said Or. +. 4. Sim
mons, the veteran missionary Of Canton. who
was in the city few days ago. I'VE do a great
deal OF surgical work in the great City Hospital
conducted by the united missions at Caution,
and ii was at first supposed that there would be
endless trouble in persuadng the natives to take
anasthetcs, but the doctors found 10 their
surprise that an3sthetics were rarely needed,
and that their patients endured the most seri-
Gus operations without finching the fraction or
inch The average Chinaman Will assume
the required position and hold ii like a statue.
When the knife touches his flesh he begins
slight monotonous moan, and keeps II up until
the ordeal is over, but he gives no other indica-
ton of pain. Whether this is due to nerve
bluntness or stocism, or a combination OF both,
have never been able to determine. but the
fact remains that the Canton Hospital uses less
chloroform or ether than any other large ins<A-

could not live.
The other gun. designated by the maker as
semi-automatic is also a siX-pounder Of which
the Government has ordered ffty-one for the
Navy At the test this gun fired sixty shots
a minute. In description Of the test a writer
says about the working of this gun: An i'm
portant feature is that it reduces the crew OF
a six FOUNDER from four to two men, one OF
whom throws in fixed ammunition as one throws
coal into a furnace, while the other fires, as

Two new rapid fire guns, one designed for

the Navy, were tested last week at the proving
grounds Of the briggs -Seabury Gun and Am

The Army gun is six-pounder OF the Driggs
type and is mounted on a parapet carriage,
which admits of the piece being fired with the
same rapidity as upon a naval mount 1t has
the advantage over the naval mount in that
