POWERFUL MECHANISM.
The Picking Up Machine Used II
Graphing Ocean Cables.

The Picking Up Machine Used In
Graphing Ocean Cables.
A truly wonderful piece of mechan-
ism is the picking up machine used
in all graphing and cable hosting OPP
erations. 1t is a powerful variety of
the steam winch family, but also a
most aristocratic and elaborate men,
Der, fitted with gear changing clutches,
patent brakes and other ingenious APP
planes. To give some idea of its ca
liabilities in dry figures it can at slow
speed lift twenty-five tons at the rate
of one mile an hour or at fast speed
ten tons at the rate of four miles an
hour. Moreover, it can be quickly al
tered and adapted to changing circum-
stances in speed or lifting weight.
All being made ready, the big Crap
mel, attached to 700 or 800 fathoms OF
chain and rope, is passed over the bow
sheave or pulley, and as soon as 1t
reaches bottom the ship is sent slowly
ahead. Back and forward across the
path of the cable, as pointed out by
the friendly marking buoys, we steam.
Several times the grapnel catches
something, only to lose its hold again,
probably an inequality upon the bot
tom, although a bosun's mate mumbles
"mermaids' grottoes," but at last comes
steady strain. Every soul on board
hangs over the bow, watching the
grimy grapnel rope come steadily up
and over the well oiled pulley. At
length the grapnel itself appears, hold
ing tight on to the truant.-Lippin-
colts Magazine.

singA.< school For rhrushes,

A writer in Forest and Stream tells
us of the methods the thrush adopts in
teaching his little ones to sing.
Find, he says, "a family of wood
thrushes and carefully note what takes
place. The old male thrush will sing
the sweet song in loud, clear, futelike
notes once and then stop to listen
while the young birds try to initiate
the song. Some will utter one note,
some two. Some will utter a coarse
note, others sharp note. After awhile
they seem to forget their lesson and
drop out one by one. When all are 81
lent, the old thrush turns up again,
and the young thrushes repeat their
efforts, and so it goes on for hours
The young birds do not acquire the
full song the first year, so the lessons
are repeated the following spring.
take many visitors into the woods to
enjoy the first thrushes' singing school
and all are convinced that the song of
the wood thrush is matter of educa.
ton pure and simple"

Directions In London.

In London and throughout the tight
little island the words 'up" and
"down" have a peculiar significance.
In going to London from any part of
England you go up" In travelling in
any direction from the capital you go
down" So in London itself every
thing goes up if it goes in the direc-
ton of the bank-that is, the Bank of
England-and going from that center
toward any of the points of the COM
pass is to go down"
The word bank, which is not only
always spelled with capital 3D. but
is always uttered with an impressive
ness that suggests an initial letter of
the largest type, may be said to be in
a sense interchangeable with city, a
term of equal dignity and value in the
eyes of Englishmen, and likewise in
variably adorned with capital &C."
The City does not mean London by
any means. 1t means a certain linn
tied section of London, the part where
business is mainly carried on and
where the great financial institutions
stand.

a pretty little man. a man over whose
hanging they licked their lips, and
here how people pretended that he
was taken out of their grasp! And
why, | ask you? Under the most fool
ish of preteXts in the name OF some r.
diculous custom, some Illegal pretense
which granted grace, full, free ana I'M
mediate, to any condemned man whom
a woman declared in public to desire
in lawful wedlock. Who ever had
heard of an equal subterfuge!
But, ali, traditional or written, the
law is the law. and the case in ques-
ton had to be elucidated! Unwillingly
rather than willingly they opened an
inquest upon the matter in mana 10
learn whether or not so unreasonable
a usage had ever at any period had
power by law. which inquest hnally es-
tablished that no similar case had been
presented since the time of the con-
quest in Calais, but that previous to
that date there had been many such
cases. more particularly in tlanders
and in Artois than in Picardy.
In consideration of these indecisive
conclusions the enemies of Dullart urg-
ed the magistrates to override the law,
and the magistrates did not demur. 1t
was the governor who placed an OBJ
stacle before them in view OF pubic
opinion, which had become greatly agl-
tated over a controversy which had
at stake the life of a man made in the
1lryfI hot
called to mind the example of prudence
offered of yore to the world by that
worthy magistrate Pontius PLATE IN
order that he might avoid thrusting
his own finger between the tree and
it's bark. In place of announcing MS
fears in public he appealed to his mas
ter, King Edward, the fourth OF that
name, to decide the matter according to
his own good pleasure.
The monarch judiciously estimated
that one man more or less upon the gal
lows was of small value in enhancing
his glory and bespoke clemency for the
case under consideration. He ordained
then that the old usages should be con-
formed with and that full pardon be
awarded the condemned man, under
the condition. be it well understood.
that the solicitor of his love hold him
duly to his engagement.
SO it came to pass that the good jesse
had the rare and marvellous fortune to
espouse gentle and well favored maid
en- after the approved fashion instead
of the cold and grimacing death and
to be indebted to his wife for that
which ordinarily men owe to their
mothers only-that is to say, his life.
A similar occurrence took place
short time afterward unexpectedly at
the city of Rouen AS certain thief,
a native of Hautvilliers, was conduct
ed to his fate, a loud old woman step
ped out of the crowd below and declar-
ed that she desired him in marriage.
The prisoner, astonished, considered a
moment; then, remarking that the
aforesaid person was Il homely bag,
shook his head and pursued his way to
the gallows, observing to the execu-
toner:
"The wench, | don't want her!'
And in a moment he was welded to
the gallows.-Chicago Tribune.

The Manufacture of Pins.

In 1775 a prize was given to the
colonist of Carolina who produced
the first native pins and needles. Dur
ing the war of 1912, when, owing to
restrictions upon commerce, the price
of pins rose to the enormous sum Of
81 per paper the manufacture was
actually started in the United States,
but does not seem to have met with
success, as the enterprise was soon
abandoned. The industry was not fair
ly started in this country until the
year 1886.
The early pins in this country, as in
England, We're made with globular
heads of fine twisted wire, made sep
arately, and secured to the shank by
compression from a falling block and
die. These old pins had the misfor-
tune of often parting with their heads.
1t was to overcome this difficulty that
the attention Of early inventors was
directed The solid headed pin, in
common use today, took the place of
the old form about 1910.

THROWING THE LASSO.
The Manner In Which the Rope Is
Handled by an Expert.


Handled by an Expert.
; ga mistaken impression prevails in
the mind of the public in regard to the
manner in which lasso is handled"
Gays an expert. 1.-The idea that the loop
Is always swung around the head be
fore making cast, especially when
the roper is on foot is erroneous. No
man of experience ever makes cast
In this fashion from the ground in
practical work. There are several rea-
sons why he does not. One of them Is
that the movement is likely to frighten
the stock, especially horses; another
that he may have to wait some min
utes before a favorable opportunity
occurs for making a cast. He knows
that better results are obtained by
holding the rope as unobtrusively as
possible, even keeping it concealed
from the object Of CAPTURE.
"On the contrary, however, when
mounted and in pursuit it is absolutely
necessary to swing the loop over and
around the head, for the cast must be
made with the greatest possible force
In order to overcome not only the for
ward movement of the pursued, but
also the action of the wind should that
chance to be against you.
GAS to the manner of casting, some
'ropers cast with a quick, jerky move
ment of the hand, seeming to use the
arm very little and the body not at all,
Others employ body, arm and hand

fected by practice"
