w. Waugh, a brakeman employed
in Conductor Sherlock's freight crew
is laid up at his home at Cheyenne
with a severely %sprained ankle receiv
ed by jumping from a moving a a,
Borie last night. Mr.. Waugh was al
work on his train. and had occasion tC
get down. AS he alighter from the
ladder of the car his foot slipped on the
ice and turned to one side, the sprain
resulting.
The Cheyenne Tribune of this morn.
ing has this account of the accident:
Waugh runs with Conductor William
Sherlock and was yesterday evening
helping to bring a train down the hill
to Cheyenne. Just after leaving Borie
spokes of a brake wheel and started
to release the brake. The instant he
put sufficient power on the club han
die to release the rachel which con-
trolls the brake screw the wheel flew
round with a rush, and the club, strik.
ing Waugh. hurled him clear off the
train and to the ground fully fifteen
feet below. He alighted feet foremost.
and SO great was the velocity with
which his body fell that both of his
legs were shattered. The accident was
not witnessed by any Of the other
trainmen and the train came into Chey-
enne before he was missed. When he
then failed to turn up his conductor
felt apprehensive, but before any &C.
ton could be taken a message came
from Bill Hutchins. the operator at
Borie, telling Of the accident.
When Waugh was left on the prairie
by the train he was insensible. but
quickly recovered his faculties. 1t
was 6 o'clock. and he realized that un-
less help soon came he would prob
ably spend the night on the prairie
and possibly die alone. He therefore
called Justify for help, and his cries
were heard by Hutchins at Borie, who
came to the rescue and carried Waugh
to the station. A message was then
sent to Cheyenne for help.
Immediately upon receipt of the mes
sage telling of Vaugh's condition the
dispatcher here ordered a locomotive
and car to Borie to bring the injured
man to town. The run was made
quickly and Waugh was in the city at
Z o'clock. He was taken to the county
hospital, where his broken homes were
set. It is not thought that he sus'
tanned any other injury of Importance.
He bore his suffering during the trip
to cheyenne with great fortitude.

SCIENCE. NOTES.
Mechanical Sticking.

The small number of men to be
seen in a modern large machine
works or steel mill, as compared with
an old-time shop of similar I'M
portance, is a matter which has been
a frequent occasion for comment, AM.
this is doubtless due to the very gem
eral use of laborsaving machinery.
The cost of production in industrial
establishments is made up of the
costs of raw material, wages, toolage,
taxes and interest, of which the
largest single item usually is the
wages cost. One way by which this
item may be reduced is by the in
stalment of mechanical stokers. In
the great majority of steam plants
the coal is wheeled to the boiler room
by hand, it is fired by hand, and the
ashes are removed by hand, making.
in plants of 1000 boiler horsepower
or over, wage cost of some con-
siderable amount.
The mechanical stoker is a system
of CRATE bars, dumping bars, coal
feeders and automatic devices to feed
fuel and control its combustion, and
subsequently to drop the ashes ana
unburnt coal. James Watt took out
a patent in 1885 for such a device.
The mechanical stoker is of English

Gold in the Sea.

= The possibility Of extracting from
sea water the gold it contains sus-
pended within its mass has always
formed fascinating problem. not to
the chemist only, but to the com
mercial Spectator as well. Every
body admits that an immense ouan.
tity of the precious metal must be
held in solution, as ii were. in the
oceans of the globe, but that it would
pay mankind to be at the expense of
securing 1t, is. OF course, quite an
ether matter. STILL it is quite likely
tnat. despite the scientific difficulties
in the way of extracting the oceanic
gold, many mouths will water at the
statement made by Professor Lupton
OF Leeds, who, speaking at the an.
nual meeting OF the Institution OF
Mining Engineers last week. declared
that according to his estimate of the
amount of gold in the sea. there was
sufficient to give six millions sterling
to every man. woman and child on
the face of the earth.

origin and Extent of Earthquake.

Professor Davis, of Harvard, in his
new book, says, concerning the origin
and extent of earthquakes. that the
process of bending and breaking the
rock structures within a mountain
mass is certainly very slow, but it
sometimes causes sudden snaps and
lips of few inches or few feet.
Tremors then spread in all directions
from the seat of disturbance, diml.l
lshing in force as they advance. On
reaching the earth's surface they are
felt as EARTHQUAKES, producing more
or less destruction. Shocks of this
kind are comparatively common in
and near most of the lofty mountains
OF the world. Earthquake tremors
travel through the earth's crust with
great velocity-from 10 to 40 miles a
minute-but in the case of water
waves the actual movement of the
quaking earth at any point may be
only a few inches or few feet a
second backward and forward. The
shocks produced by earthquake
waves are most violent at places
directly over the seat of chief dis
turbance. They may be very faint
causing no damage. They may be
strong enough to be felt violently
over hundreds of square miles. less
