SHAFT SOUNDED ROTTEN.
The Engineers Acute Hearing Saved
The Ship From an Accident.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
L see that the big liner ST. Paul lost one
of her propellers through the shaft snap
ping off during the last trip across" said
a former sea captain now In business here
The strain put on a propeller shaft iu
any large vessel Is something frightful, and
II has TO have extraordinary strength TO
withstand it. The worst part of It Is when
the stern lifts out of the water during a
pitch. Then the propeller blades have moth
ing to play against except air, and, natural
ly, they begin to race. While they are
whizzing around at top speed they souse
into the water again. and you can imagine
the shock. 1t makes the whole ship trem-
BILE like a scared horse. If there is the
slightest flaw in the shaft il Is apt 10 snap

with mighty little of what you might cali
book education, but if ever there a
natural born genius he was the man. En-
cheering seemed to be a kind of instinct
with him, and when there was any trouble
with the machinery he could put his finger
on the exact spot, where another man
might be puttering around for day
AT the time have in mind we had clear

and he took lantern and started to go
over it inch by inch. Inside of an hour he
found two holes that had been bored in It

greatest. and nicely filed up with soap and

A Museum of Pawn Tickets.
From the London Chronicle

London possesses many fine museums
which no country cousin who values his
opportunities would miss seeing. There is
one. however, which is not in the guide
books and has no visitors, because scarce
anyone knows of Its existence. It belongs
to the county council. and is museum of
pawn tickets. They were acquired by the
council In the course Of an inquiry. some
considerable time ago, into the question Of
establishing municipal pawnshops. Some of
the documents are mean-looking things,
others magnificent that pawning ones
watch must be almost a pleasure. Such is
the ticket in use at Naples. ample in size,
elaborate in design. and gorgeous in color.
An impecunious Dick Swiveller receiving
such document in return for his Sunday
clothes can scarcely feel that He has done
anything mean, but rather that he has re-
ceived a handsome testimonial.

Juvenile Comment.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
Two tiny bundles Of rags were standing
gazing in rapture at a doll about as big as
both of them. She was gorgeous in evening
dr. ess, and made as much display of her
arms and shoulders as some Of her animate
scrawny sisters, who know better.
Gee, wouldn't you like t hev her?' said
little Light Moccasin, IAN that party
dress with her?"
oats not dress; she amt dot no
clothes on up"
"Ah. ladies don wear no clothes when
they go t party" said the other. with a
naughty air, as the two started down the
street deep in Totland discussion.

Furthermore, in the chambers of the
palace there came toilight a series of clay
tablets inscribed in two distinct types of
prehistoric script, one hieroglyphic, the
others linear and carrying back the exist
ence of written documents In an Hellenic
land some seven centuries earlier than the
first known monuments of historic Greek
writing. The work of eXcavating this pail
ace is only half completed, and there is no
telling what further discoveries will be
made to add to our knowledge Of this early
Aegean civilization.
Indisputable evidence has been found that
this is actually the labyrinth OF King
Minos. The bull is frequently found in fres-
