When I order the quartermaster to steer for Guajan, go below as quickly as you can and make your way aft, on the lower deck, to cable lockers at the stern. Take the new log, in this box here, and pay it out through the bitt port, say about 30 fathom, being mighty careful you don't foul the screw with it. You'll find cross brace of angle iron, down there. that Mac fixed athwart the port to fasten the register on. It'sa taffrail log-not like the one I've got astern now; you've got to haul that one in to read it.. Faint likely that anyonell notice the line, but you'll have to haul it in when we get abreast of Cocos reef, so's the men won't notice it when they go be- low 10 clear away the cable at Apra."
 Before turning in, he took the log from its box and showed me exactly how 1t worked, making me repeat the instructions until he felt sure wouldn't botch the experiment. Tn fact, my mind was so full of it all that slept badly, and dressed before sun rise. Halstead was as anxious as my. self. but he had his nerves under per feet control and reserved his energies until they were needed Diaz, though onfdent we would not reach the reef before breakfast, had turned out at five bells and was searching the hori- zon with his glass. on the bridge. Moreno taking an occasional squint also. At about half-past six the cap tain sang out to him:
 Guess you'd better let one of the quartermasters get the lead ready, Moreno"
 "Si, senor. Do you think we are near the posicion?'
 ''Very close to it. now. Mir. McPher- son says we've been making l2 knots through the night. Just figure it up, will you, Diaz and see what you make it."
 "Si, senor." Diaz disappeared in the wheelhouse, but came out again pres ently. eNclaiming: "Por Dios, capitano. we are within three miles at this mo nenti"
 That's what I thought. Get your ieadsman out there right away, Moreno. You'd better try 'dipsey' line at first, and see if you can strike anything at a hundred fathom. Be all ready when give the word"
 In less than five minutes the leads man was on his grating. outside the starboard rail, with 75-pound lead and 300 fathoms of line. Halstead stood by the engine-room telephone, watch in hand. and Diaz was perched in the fore rigging. where he could watch the sounding. In about ten minutes the captain showed the lever over to the

A Bad Cut.

Denver, the four year old son of Mir and Mrs. s. $. Hance, stepped on a piece of glass yesterday afternoon and cut an ugly gasb across the underside of the large toe on his left foot Mr Hance tied up the cut and started home with the boy but the blood flowed so profusely that he bacame alarmed and went to Dr. Holt who dressed the member and told them that the cut would have proved fatal had it not received attention. As it was, the boy was very weak from the loss of blood.

Little Ruby Gone.

Died, of congestive chill, at o'clock p. m., May 9, 1899, Ruby, daughter of Thomas and Julia Buchanan. Age two years five months and twenty nine days. Sweet little Ruby was lovely child-the joy of her parents and the pet of all who knew her. She was gentle, kinf and obedien.,. the most womanly child the writer has ever known. Too pure for this wicked world, and God in his providence saw fit to release her from suffering here and to'transplant her in the realms of eternal bliss. Then father, mother and friends, why do we weep when we know that dear little Ruby has gone to live with the angels around the throne of God. Asleep in Jesus-bless- ed sleep, from which none ever wake to weep. w. F. A.

I found removing the fastenings from large bundle which one of the men had just brought up from the lazareet, There was also a sea chest. marked with my name, upon one of the.tran- soms. He nodded toward this and said:
 "I suppose you don't remember bringing that on board, do you?'
 Well. 10 tell the truth, don't. And I think was pretty sober, too. Where did I get it? Whats inside?'
 Nothing at present. This diving suit is going in if l can make it. Now draw the curtains and strip to your shirt and drawers
 What for?'
 ITO try the thing on, of course. Hustle, now; we'll be in by two o'clock. I've read tbe directions over until l know them by heart, but l want you to be boxed up in it once while I'm by to help you. It's pretty risky busi- ness. no matter how often man does it, and l don't want your death on my hands. You see, it will be simply out of the question to depend upon a bumper above water-you can't trust anyone-and it's going to take all the nerve you've got to go down without"

"I've had patent log towing aster1 since eight bells, and I'm in hopes that no one has seen it. Here's where we were at noon" (pointing to penciled cross on the chart), "and we've been running twelve knots ever since. Now, Findlay fixes the Santa Rosa at about twelve-thirty no'th, by hum dred and forty-four, fifteen cas-. And it is laid down here mile or two each side of that. The wind has been so light thatwe won't have to figure much on leeway, and we've held her right on the point of cas-, quarter no'th, all day; so that she ought to make the shoal some time in the morning watch, say, six bells, or before. Diaz figured, this afternoon, that his watch would be on deck before we struck the position, and told the padre it would be around breakfast time. If no one sees that log, he isn't likely to change his mind. Now, if by any lucky chance we do find bottom there, I'll want your assist ance; andyou'll have to keep your wits about you. Watch my actions closely.

 The green fields of grain and orchards bowed down with young fruit does certainly make the farmers the most happy persons in the world.
 A description of Mountain Fork valley, the home of Luke. will not be out of place. Standing on the top of Rich Mountain, just east of Chimoha mountain one sees far beyond and below him the beautiful Mountain Fork valley. The farm houses are numerous, and thousands of acres of land are in cultivation, and yet there are thousands of acres covered with fine valuable timber. The clear flow ing stream of pure cold water makes a cheerful noise as it passes down through the rocky fern covered ravnes. The banks are studded with wild flowers, The boughs of the trees spread out over the water to darken the play ful trout's hiding place. The birds sing their songs while the bushy tailed squirrel scampers from branch to branch, and frightens the timid deer feeding below him, by his chatter. A more beautiful country cannot be found. Apples and peaches grow to perfection. Berries of ali kinds do we'll. Wheat, oats, clover and all kinds of tame grasses grows well. Anyone desireing a home will do we'll to come to Polk county. Land can be had from $2 to S5 per acre.

ELECTRICITY'S NEW USE.
Frozen Pipes ThaWed With the
Warming Current

Dcs Moncs, Iowa, March 2.-Mana-
ger f. G. Pratt of the Capital City Elec
trical company has put to practical use
the novel method of thawing out frozen
water pipes by means of electricity Mr.
Pratt states that the suggestion was
given to him by newspaper article re-
lating to experiments of Prot. Wood of
the University of Wisconsin.
He experimental successfully, and since
that time has succeeded in thawIng out
in few minutes water pipes and mains
which have been frozen for distance of
100 feet. connection is made with the
service pipe and the hydrant in the houee.
The current from an electric light wire is
then connected with the pipes through a
transformer, which reduces the voltage
The heat from the current performs the
work of thawing the ice in a few minutes
without damaging the pipes al any way.
Frozen pipes and mains in all parts of
the city are now being put i'll condition
at little expense i'll this manner.
