The British bark Galgate, Captain
Grifiths, big four master, made a
record breaking run on her voyage
from Shanghai to the mouth of the Co
lumbia, covering the distance from
buoy to buoy in q days. The nearest
approach to this record is said to have
been made by one Of Renton, Holmes
q Co.'s four masted schooners, which
made the run from Shanghai to the
sound In % days. Vessels from Shang-
hal are less frequent visitors here than
those from Yokohama and other Japan
ports, and the wonderful run of the
Galgate can be better understood when
1t is stated that the voyage from
Shanghai to the Columbia is generally
conceded by shipmasters to be fully
week or ten days longer than the run
from Yokohama. The record passage
from the latter port to the Columbia
river is a fraction less than % days, the
Selkirk making the record run about
three years ago.
The Galgate's biggest days perform
ance was 295 miles, but in ten day
run she reeled off over 1900 miles, an
average of over II miles an hour and
speed which would bother most of
the tramp steamers to maintain.-Port-

One of Natures Wonders.

At the sacred village of Totatri,
about 40 miles from Tinnevelly, India,
there Is one of the most wonderful nat
ural curiosities In the world. 1t is an
oil we'll containing inexhaustible guam
titles of the liquid. The we'll or spring
Is situated within the celebrated tenn
pie of Narayan, said to be about the
largest sacred edifice in India. AT
Baku, in the southeastern part of eau
casia, there are also wonderful oil
wells that spout petroleum high into
the air. In September, 1886, a well
tapped in the ordinary manner began
to spout with such extraordinary force
that it delugcd the whole district. For
eight days the outflow continued, final
ly reaching an output Of 1000 tons.
Another fountain broke out in March,
1887, and rose to a height of $50 feet
leaving an enormous petroleum lake.

Il propose never to guess what

adhered to by the author, whose love
of accuracy was so great that he spar
ed no pains to verify every statement
he desired to make in any of his nov
els, grudging no amount of labor which
he expended in the accomplishment
of this result. He was an interchangeable
collector of newspaper clippings from
all nations, which he carefully CLASH
fed and arranged in many scrapbooks.
Reports of many institutions. police
gaZettes, accounts of trials and acct
dents and manifold descriptions of all
sorts were filed away for future refer
ence. The contents of these scrap
books were indexed with great care,
and from them Charles Reade derived
great satisfaction. If ever any of his
statements were questioned or his
facts denied, he would turn trium-
phantly to his classified scrapbooks and
refute the objections with some posi-
tive proof contained therein.-Miss

FireDrOOf Safes.

For city use in modern buildings"
said safe manufacturer, safes are
nowadays made thinner walled than
formerly. thus giving them more room
inside in proportion to the space the
safe occupies. The modern building
Is fireproof, or substantially so, and in
case of fire the safe does not fall down
through the burned floors into a mass
Of burning debris in the cellar, but it
stays where it has been placed, sup
ported by the steel floor beams Of the
room and, with less around it to burn,
subjected to comparatively less heat.
"Under such conditions the thin wall
ed safe is as fireproof as the thick WALL
ed safe would be under the conditions
In which it Is used in the old style
buildings, for use in which the thick
walled safe Is still commonly sold."-

The sewing as we'll as dressmaking

There are many amusing stories told
of them as copyists of the Americans
way of making up garments. A friend
had need of a dozen undergarments.
AS she came over on shipboard a but
ton was lost, and an exceedingly clum-
sy and ugly one replaced the lost one,
which was of pearl. On reaching
Shanghai she desired tailor to copy
from this garment, which was placed
In his hands as model. He brought
back the garments, exquisite creations
in lace and tucked muslin and each of
the dozen adorned with a button ex-
actly like the one on the sample gar
ment
Upon having his attention called to
the ugly button his reply was, Like

appreciated. He had spent many hours
in search for ''likee" buttons and no
doubt was greatly Disguised with the
