SAILORS IN BOSTON.
Yachting Is One of the Foremost 4
Pleasures aud Pastimes OF
the Hub.

Who sails boats around Boston?
Why, everyone! says ". j. Hender-
son, in Atlantic, From the adams
Boys" the smartest yacht racers of
the east, down to the Marblehead
street boy, everyone takes pride in
his skill in getting the best work out
of some sort of a sailing boat. Those
who do not sail talk about it, and on
a summer day in the drowsy at
mosphere of Boston club, or in the
shadow of some tall pile in Washing
ton street, you shall hear more rae
ing seaman's lore than anywhere else
in this country except on the cruis-
ing ground of the Rocking Chair
feet at the Larchmont Yacht club.
Boston's claim to be the hub of the
universe may be disputed perhaps
when you consider the steel industry
or the unimportant matter of freight
tonnage; but when you come to talk
about sailing, you must admit that
Boston is the greatest yachting port
in this country Even the little chill
dren there know the history of the
Americas cup, and the public school
boy can sail dory with a leg-of-mut-
ton sail for driving power and an oar
for steering gear.

tained that If fact ories get established
and grow to large proportions they
remain where they are even If a change
in fuel is needed. The following item
from the Commoner g. Glassworker,
telling of big factory which was
built up by using natural gas, con-
firms this theory. The paper says;
Muncie, 1od., June 29.-Ball Bros.
fruit jar factory, employing over
l, 200 people, shut down for the sum-
mer Saturday, the probable date OF
resumption is September !. During
the shutdown the plant will be com
pletely equipped with producer gas

may be entirely independent of ma
tural gas next year.

Canaries n. Weather proph.,..

Il can almost always tell when 1t is GO

which | can hear the trains at night,
but the birds are even more reliable
than that. If l hear them singing In
the morning early, before l take the

that the day will be good one, no

but If they do not sing | am sure there
will be bad weather before the day is

and never think of going shopping or
calling unless the birds sing in early

CYCLES OF SUN SPOTS.
Fresh Interest Lent TO the Subject
by Recent EARTHQUAKES and
Volcanic Eruptions.

Since 1851, when the existence Of a
sun spot cycle of about 11R years was
discovered, many attempts have been
made to discover a relation between
the sun spots and the atmospheric
changes in our earth. Violent storms,
floods, periods of drought and of fam
inc, cold years, warm years, and many
such variations of weather have all
been supposed to owe their origin to
the sun spots. But the relation which
Sir Norman Lockyer appears to have
discovered between sun spot cycles and
the tremendous upheavals of the earth
which we term earthquakes and vol
canoes, lends a fresh interest to this
fascinating study. says Golden Penny.
The matter certainly deserves very
full investigation. incidentally, the
general character of the weather in
the spring of the year seems to favor
the existence of 35 years cycle of
weather. That is, three times one cycle
of sun spots. The year 1867 was just
after the sun spot minimum, and 1902
is also just after the minimum. 1t was
a cold spring in 1867, and bitterly
cold month of May. The summer was
very wet, and it was followed by a
stormy winter, with little frost, and a
very warm spring and summer in 1865.

THE PINTO COPPER Co
A Mining Company Being Formed by
lola Men to Develop Valuable
Holdings in New Mexico.

1t Is only within recent years that
me average mind ever considered cop
PEI as valuable thing and copper
mines as wealth producers. But the
widely advertised wealth of Senator
CLARK, whose copper mines bring him
million a.month, have educated the
public. Mining companies 10 abund-
ance have been formed OF recent years
TO delve for copper and some of them
VIII make goodlfnds. y
The first one in which lola people
have taken any interest is the Pinto
Copper Company, home company
being formed to develop claims se-
cured by Mr.. f. s. Bennett in Grant
connty, NewiMexico. Theolaims con-
sist OF a group OF eight on three OF
which shafts have been sunk and ex-
cellent showipgs made. There are l2l
acres in the claims and on one side
OF them is the famous Santa Rita
mine bought for three million dollars
two years sago by the Amalgamated
Copper company; on the other the
lvanhoe mine, recently sold for 500,
900. A spur of the Santa Fe runs
within fifty feet of the mines and all
the advantages of transportation,
nearness to a smelter and the natural
lay Of the land have been considered.
The shafts show gold, silver and cop
N nH Mr. q"
gineer and.assayer has given a. care
ful report of the probable value OF the
mines.
The Pinto Copper Company has
bought the Bennett claims. It is or
|. ganized with ~, SOC, 900 capital stock,
enough Of which will be sold at ten
cents for shares worth at par 81 90 to
equip the mill for handling ore from
the mines. When this is done the
price will be raised. 1t is estimated
from the grade OF ore now being taker
out that the mine will realize $500 q
day, or SIS, 900 month, whereas $25,'
600 year would pay ten cents or
the stock. A force of men is working
day and right sinking the shafts ant
developing the claims, and their re
ports OF finds are very gratifying.
AS stated before the company is 9

pany's depository is the Bank of Al

Starting out with bright prospects
with men of experience, money an,

most promising prospect shafts, ther
seems little reason to doubt that tn

A MARVELLOUS MACHINE.
Powerful Device for Picking Up
Ocean Cables from the BriBy
Depths,

A truly wonderful piece of mechan-
ism is the 'picking-up" machine used
10 all graphing and cable-hoisting
operations in cable laying. 1t is a
powerful variety of the steam-winch
family, but also q most aristocratic
and elaborate member, fitted with
gear-changing clutches, patent brakes
and other ingenious appliances. To
give some idea of its capabilities in
dry figures, it can at slow speed lift
25 tons at a rate of one mile per
hour, or at fast speed ten knots at
the rate of four miles per hour.
Moreover, it can be quickly altered
and adapted to changing circum-
stances in speed or lifting weight,
says Lippincott's.
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
it reaches bottom the ship is sent
slowly ahead. Back and forward
across the path of the cable, as point
ed out by the friendly marking
buoys, we steam. Several times the
grapnel catches something, only to
lose it's hold again-probably an in
equality upon the bottom, although
bosun's mate mumbles "mermaid's-
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, holding
tight on to the truant.

HORSEHAlR SNAKES.
Peculiar Habits of These ThreadIil1e
Little Serpents.

Little Serpents.
The "hOrsehair snakes" are small,
flesh colored mites which live princi-
pally in stagnant water. After going
through various transformations they
come to the surface of the water in the
shape of very slender. purplish looking
threads. When they reach this last
stage. they leave the water and work
their way up the stalks and leaves of
aquatic plants. when opportunity af

full fledged miniature serpent. In this
mature state he is the delight of the
curiosity seeker and mine of study to
those who delight to delve in natures
bypaths. Those which have been for
tunate enough not to have been carried
very far from water by the insects
which they encountered during life
make their way back to the ponds to
lay their eggs. They then wrap them
selves around the eggs, which soon
hatch into the little flesh colored mites
mentioned in the opening. About this
time the parent 'snake" dies to make
room for its progeny.
