Portsmouth. Va. Says Marine Engin-
eeriug in a brief account Of this de-
vice:
at consists Of a cable counter
weight. buoy and anchor. In its oper-
alton. as wind or wave moves the yes
sci from the charted position, the
cable and counterweight are lifted;
the weight OF cable and counter
weight is then suspended from the
vessel to the buoy. As the strain in
creases the buoy is submerged and
forms an elastic loop Of the cable with
a continuous strain throughout the
movement. This allows the vessel to
gradually recede with the wave, and
as the tension is increased on the
cable the vessel comes through the
wave i'm an easy manner and presses
forward to buffet the next wave with
out any sudden stress being placed up
on its fasteuings. The forces called

the float and the gravity OF cable and
counterweight. This method, the in
ventor believes, makes an elastic and
safe anchorage and allows the vessel
TO be moored with short cable in a
heavy sea. with the couutcrVcight and
buoy almost under the forcfoot. The
present method Of anchorage requires
a very heavy cable with many fathoms

Important Recommendations.

OF the recommendations probably the
most important are those relating to an
increase i'm the personnel of the navy and
for additional ships. OF the former after
referring TO the steady increase in the
demand for officers for sea duty, the sec
rotary saws:
This need Will be still greater when
vessels authorized or building are com
pleted and ready for commission. The
report of the bureau OF navigation repro
sents that IL would be impossible at the
present time TO man our available fleet
were an emergency TO occur demanding
such action. Attention is earnestly in
vited 10 the detailed suggestions of this
report and 10 the statement that with
the completion of vessels now under con-
struction an immediate increase will be
needed in the enlisted force c. not less
than 5000 men

bsBLE wirH ROMANTIC HISTORY
It Was Found on the Plains and Used
 on Many Ceremonial Occasions.

The Bible which was used in the ceremonies beginning the celebration in this city of the fftieth anniversary of the state of California has a history that Is very interesting. In lS4S young man in coming across the plains found a pile of books by tue side of the road with a stick stuck among them bearing note telling travellers to help themselves. The young maA In searching through the old volumes found a handsome Bible, which he con- sidered a shame to be left upon the areary desert. He placed it in hls pack and carried 1t to Sacramento. He presented it to Dr. R. H. Mcdonald, who at that time conducted a drug store in that city. Some time after the advent of the Bible into Sacramento meeting was called in that city TOT the purpose of founding lodge or Masons. That was on Jan. 5, lS5o. and the lodge was to be known as Connecticut Lodge, No. 75. It ehaneec that the meeting place was adjoining the premises occupied by Dr. McDon' aid. When it was convened it was found that there was no Bible at hand with which to conduct the ceremonies and Dr. Mcdonald presented the book that had been given to him by the young man for the lodges use. on the 18th of the following April the grand lodge of Masone was formed and the Bible again played an important part in the ceremonies. After the form ation of the grand lodge the name oi Connectseut lodge was changed to Te- hama lodge, No. 3, but ever since it's establishment on Jan. 8, 1850, the b1- ble has remained in the possession of the lodge. R. o. Craven, prominent officer of the lodge. has been appointed 70 represent the lodge here during the
 Jubilee exercises and serves as the GUS sodian of the prized old book during

rne Changing Geysers.

It Is said that the recent visitors to the Yellowstone Park have discovered that the famous geysers there are gradually subsiding. One newspaper believes that if their force continues to diminish in the degree in which 1t has diminished in the last four years, the geysers vii probably become ex- tinct within a decade. This is what these recent visitors claim to have dis covered: That Roaring Mountain. although still circulating steam, no longer roars, and therefore, no longer deserves its name; that Black Growler. In Norris Basin, is in feeble state. and that Fou>.tain Geyser, in tke Low CT Basin, and the Splendid and Bee hive Geyser, in the Upper Basin, are practically dead. We have seen To evi- dence to prove that these reports are not true. Certainly no one could de- rive any benefit from their deceitful manufacture

SIttfng Erect.

Very many persons, in taking seat, use the edge of it only, with the result that in very short tinie they seem to be doubling up, the head bending forward over the chest. The easiest method of sitting erect, and in grace 5ul position $ .o ace.sv sAs =Aas- sz sucA way that ths lowest yast of the spine or backbone touches the back of the seat; then, by causing the shoul- ders also to touch the back, the whole body Is erect and maintains itself. not only without an effort, but with a feel Ing of support. relief and rest. and that, too, without any appreciable ef- fort. Any position maintained by the aid of a brace is forced, and is secured by an injury done to some other part. which not only has to support itself hut aid in supporting parts not intend- ed, hence must in time itself need aid from other sources, and thus the miS. chief goes on.
