IMPORTANT TO MARINERS.
Invention by an officer of the
Australia

Chief Officer K. Y. Lawless of the
steamer Australia, has been at work
for some months on an invention of
vast importance to mariners. 1t is a
device to enable sea captains to ascer-
tain their latitude and longitude while
at sea, without going through the pres
ent difficulties of taking the sun" at
certain precise moments every day. Mr.
Lawless thinks he has solved the prob
lem and he has constructed a small
model of his invention upon which ne
will apply for patent at once.
Officer Lawless invention when per
ftCted Will do away altOge ther with the
necessity of getting a glimpse of the
sun at exactly the noon hour or at any
other set time. In order to ascertain
both latitude and longitude. according
to present methods it is necessary to
see the sun at least twice and then
there is much calculating To be done
The new method win involve nothing
more than seeing the sun once at any
time, and the intricate calculations are
disposed of by the machine. Mr.. Law
less rs making more perfect model
for the patent Office and will apply for
patent in Honolulu at once. If his in
Nention meets expectations. it is one
that, sea going people declare, will be
put in use Immediately all over the
world.

Mira Mny He Growing.

While many astronomers regard the
planet Mars as dying world" 9TH
erS. notably the Able Moreux and
Colonel du Ligandes, consider it as a
young and growing planet. Moreux
explains the doubling Of the canals"
by an optical effect, and the other
holds that Mars was formed after the
earth and Jupiter. Owing to its dis
lance from the sun and its light at
mosphere, Mars ought to be an Icy
desert, hut observation shows that it
is not and hence he concludes that the
body of the planet is still warm. The
canals" he thinks, are cracks pro-
duced by contractions Of the crust

church was recently found to contain
very rare specimen of seventeenth
century token made Of copper which
had apparently been dropped into tue
receptacle in mistake for Il farthing.
The curio was valued by local dealer
at ii shillings. A description of the
article and the circumstances under
which 1t was found were affixed to the
church porch, but the donor seemed
ashamed to turn up and explain mat
tiers a few days afterward the cler-
Gyman received a typewriter letter
from an address Il long distance from
the church stating that if the token
were sent to N. Y. b." care of the
householder, a remittance of half q
sovereign would be received in ex-
change. 1t was duly sent in a register
ed letter, and postal order for 10 shil-
lingS arrived in return.

SUPERSTlTIONS.
They Sometimes Cause One q Lot of
Trouble.

"ThcSe holaey old superstitions we
have all heard since childhood arc very
mysterious things" said the recording
secretary of the New Orleans Ananias
CLUB. Take the one, for instance, about
hnding pins. Last week n friend of mine
who Is rather portly saw pin lying ON
the sidewalk. He didn't want to pick it
up, but was afraid to pass it for fear of
bad luck, SO he stopped over slowly and
painfully.
AS he did so he burst n pair Of 81
silk suspenders and ripped a pair Of 81
trousers. At the same time his SO gold
eyeglasses fell off and smashed all to
pieces, but he got the pin and raised mp
suddenly, being mad. just in time to bring
the bnck of his head in contact with a
piece of scantling which a carpenter was
carrying along the pavement
The conclusion raised n bump as big
as II goose egg and Knocked off his new
white alpine hat, which rolled into the
gutter and was ruined. Nevertheless he
still hung on to the pin and stuck it under
the lapel OF his coat. In taking off the
garment at his Office he scratched him
self on the back of the hand with the
point. and a couple of days later inham-
nation set in.
You see the confoundcd pin was brass
and probably covered with germs. Any
how, his hand swelled up until it looked
like a ham, and he hasn't been able to
use it yet. AS he happens to be book
keeper, the thing has already knocked him
out of II weeks work and may lose him
his job. The worst OF it is, he dossn' I
dare 70 throw away the pin for fear of
having bad luck. These old superstitions
are certainly very curious-very curious
indeed. New Orleans Times d emocrat
