SHE IS A FINE BOAT.

The revenue cutter Woodbury. returned
to Portland yesterday afternoon with
the cutter in tow which has been trans
ferred to the State OF Maine for the Naval
Reserves, by the Navy Department.. This
is the boat which Congressman Allen
secured for the Portland division and
which Capt. John Dennett of the cutter
Woodbury. found at the Portsmouth yard
and aided the State OF Maine to secure.
This is one of the best boats ever turned
out of the boat shops at the Portsmouth
yard. She was built for exhibition at
the worlds fair, but was not taken to
Chicago for some reason. She has never
been used much and the officers at the
Portsmouth yard have put her in fine
condition. She is 28 feet long, broad of
beam and handsomely finished Capt.
BENNETT told PRESS representative
last evening that the officers at the Ports
mouth yard took great interest in the
Sitting out Of this cutter and when she
was turned over to him she was COM
plete in every detail. She is fitted with
the sliding Gunter masts and sails, has
a full equipment of sails, awnings flag
poles and everything even to water
breakers and boat anchor. The Naval
Reserves feel as though they owed a
great deal to Cong ressInan Allen, Capt.
bennett AMI the officers Of the Ports
mouth yard in securing for them this
fine boat. The cutter is to be used for
boat drills in the harbor and will be
cared for at the boat house of Capt. Sam
Hodgdon for the present.

Automobile Propelled by Salt.

A new automobile has been invented
by Russian named Hutal Serky. He
has discovered a new system of loco
motion based on the use of certain
kind of salt, the composition of which
is, as yet, his secret. Two pounds OF
this salt placed in the box of the an
tomobile, and subjected to a certain
heat, forms a gas which puts cylin-
der in movement. The automobiles
that were tried In Moscow produced
the best results. The emperor OF
Russia, who takes great interest in
this invention, intends to send Serky
to Paris to make known his secret

in which the goods in that case were
frogs intended for food, though there
was no contention that they were for
any other purpose, and the sole ques-
tion was whether they were dutiable
as prepared meats or as dead frogs.
The statement of the lizard importers
showed that the lizards are used only
as medicines, being boiled in water, as
herbs and similar articles are pre-
pared This concoction is drunk to
impart vigor and strength. Several
years ago. however. the Treasury De-
partment was called upon to decide
this same question, and it held then
that the stuff was a medicinal prepara-
ton. Therefore, in accordance with
this decision, the New York general
appraisers announced that the dried
lizards are dutiable as medicinal
preparation, as assessed.

DRIED LIZARD TEA
A MEDICINAL DRINK MADE FOR
CHINESE ONLY.
Lizards Cut Open in China, Dried, and
Sent to the United States to Make
the Cup That Cheers-Dried Lizards
Dutiable.

The devious wanderings of the acute
Chinese mind and the queer shape
which Oriental logic takes were well
illustrated in recent decision of the
United States general appraisers in
New York. The question was whether
dried lizards, from which the Chinese
make a medicinal drink-for them
selves only, thank heaven-come in the
same tariff category as frogs, whose
legs are eaten as food. If the answer
were yes the stuff for the Chinese con-
coction, according to Chinese logic,
ought to come into America at lower
rate of duty. The Collector of Gus
toms in San Francisco took the mega
tive end of the argument whereupon
Chinese firm of importers appealed,
with the result that the decision of the
collector was affirmed.
In China the lizards are cut open,
stretched on bamboo sticks and dried
In this condition they are exported to
the United States to make the cup that
cheers and cures the Chinaman in this
country. The appraiser in San Fran
cisco returned the stuff as medicinal
preparation not otherwise provided
for, and assessed it at the rate of 25
per cent ad valorem. Then the i'm
porters kicked" They represented
that the merchandise is not prepared
medicine, but is merely dried lizard,
and should be taxed at 10 per cent ad
valorem as an unenumerated, unman-
ufactured article.
The Chinese members of the import
ing firm delved deep into the mysteries
of the American tariff. They rested
their claim upon a Treasury decision

HEAT AND MOISTURE.
Interesting Experiments Recently Made
on Fabrics In England.

Fabrics in England.
At a recent meeting of the Philo-
sophical society in Cambridge, Eng
land, experiments upon the rise Of tenn
perature of fabrics when molstened
were described by DR.. l.. Cobbett DR..
Cobbett showed that if expired air is
breathed through several layers of
dried filtered paper wrapped round the
bulb Of thermometer temperature
of ten degrees centlgrade or more
tered CDR. Dudgeon's experiment., and
that if a roll of flannel thoroughly
dried, be warmed to ninety-six degrees
centigrade and put into saturated
steam of 100 degrees centigrade t4e
temperature within the roll may rise
thirty degrees centigrade or more
above that of the steam (Dr. Parson
experiment) DR.. Cobbett concluded
that such substances when quite dry
have tne property of uniting with wa
ter and of generating heat in the proc
ess, and this without becoming damp
in the ordinary sense, of the word, and
maintained that the source of this
heat is not alone the latent heat of the
vapor condensed, because rise OF
temperature takes place when dried
filter paper is wetted with water at the
same temperature, bx he must include
also either the latent heat of water
converted into the solid state-as Sir
W. Roberts has suggested in discuss
ing Dr. Dudgeon's eXperiment-or else
the energy set free in a chemical com
bination between the material and the

Cockroacnes Desert Newspaper Offices

1t is a singular fact remarked upon
by the inha abitants OF newspaper Of
fees that the cockrOaches, once so nu-
merous in such places, have almost
disappeared. Time was when the little
brown pests fairly overrun the homes
of the press. Not only did they exist
by thousands in the mposing-rooms
but they also got down into the ed
itorial quarters. Observing printers
say that the disappearance of the
cockroach began with the introduc-
ton of typsetting machines. This is
believed to be true, for in the big city
offices they have become scarcer and
scarcer ever since about 1888. Now
one is seldom seen there. Whether
the insect disapproved of the new in
vention or whether there was some
thing on the movable type which gave
him sustenance is not known, but he
is gone, and there are few to regret
his departure.
