Their claret cups before them.
Broad shadows hid their sullen eyes.
The tavern lamps shown Ger them.
AS Drumming bowl, with crystal

Came borne by the landlords daugh-

Who wore on her bosom the fair white
That grows best over the water.
Then all leap'd up and joined their
hands
With hearty clasp and greeting.
The trimming cups, outstretcned by
all.
Over the wide bowl were meeting.
"A health they cried, TO the witch

OF Kate, the landlords daughter,
But don't forget the white. white rose
That grows best over the water"
Each others cup they touched all
round,
The last red drop outpouring:
Then, with a cry that warmed his
blood,
One heart born chorus roaring:
Let the glass go round to pretty Kate.
But never forget the white, white
rose,
That grows best over the water."
The hats flew up and swords sprang
out,
And lusty rang the chorus:
Never they cried, while Scots are
Scots
And the broad Frith's before u.s."
A ruby ring the glasses shine
AS they toast the landlords daugh-

Because she wore the white, Whit
That grows best over the water.

With all its stings and prickles;
The shamrock, with its holy leaf,
Is spar'd by Irish sickles.

would be If the vessel from whose deck the
lead is thrown could be at that moment
stationary. But soundings must be taken
ordinarily from q vessel under a fair rate
of sDeed-about three or four knots. for in
stance-and under such conditions the lead
line, unless managed by a quite expert
man. has so great an inclination from q
perpendicular to the water surface, both
before and after passing directly over the
lead. that a considerable factor of error is
unavoidable. Again, in running a line OF
soundings with the lead, no matter what
sudden rise of the bottom, rock, sunken
wreck or other obstruction may I'm fact ex-
lst between any two points actually tested,
the ordinary method gives no indication OF
them. and the only means of locating such
distractions or abnormal elevations of the
bottom Is by cross-sectioning the work as
closely as possible, so as to confine such OBJ
structlons within spaces OF the minimum
size.
The device tested Wednesday consists of
a graduated rod of some thirty feet in
length. adjusted to the side of boat,
launch or any sort of vessel. running freely
up and down, approximately perpendicular
to the water surface. and terminating at
the bottom In a wheel OF sufficient weight
In Itself to insure contact with the bottom
at any speed otherwise practicable for
sounding. By suitable adjustments the rod
Is compelled to roll along on the bottom
while maintaining its vertical position, and
thus is extremely sensitive to any change
whatever in the profile of the bottom along
the line upon which the vessel is running
During the test an obstruction was struck
IN the course of uniform grade, and IN

and as sudden a fall moment later The
obstruction could hardly have been larger
than barrel. The recorder, of course,
noted the readings Of the rod at the very
moment Of striking. securing the summit

Inc wheel Is so arranged as to carry the
rod easily over any obstruction On this
occasion several lines were run. their loca-
tions being determined by the use OF two
sextants. the observers noting positions Of
signal stations previously established, as
usual and the results can be plotted up in
profile form with very great accuracy. The
readings OF the rod were taken at close
regular intervals and at all salient inter.
mediate points.
This device is the invention OF a young
Marylander now resident in Washington,
and all of the practical tests 30 far made
have been wholly under his control and dt.

HOUSE OF BEER BOTTLES.
In Tonopah, New, Old Glass is Cheaper
Than Wood.

From the Kansas City Star.
Tonopah, New, aside from being famed
on account OF its vast mineral resources
also occupies the unique distinction OF
numbering among its inhabitants a man
who is able to live in q glass house
and throw unlimited quantities of stones
at the same time without suffering any OF
the serious inconvenience popularity sup
posed to surround such an association.
Not a tree grows within sixty miles of
the great mining camp, and very naturally
building material and fuel bring all sorts
of fancy prices, the commonest kind of
lumber selling for 500 per 600 feet while
inferior grades of scrub cedar command
500 cord. Consequent upon this condi-
ton, various subterfuges are resorted to
in the architectural makeup of Tonopah.
There are houses made Of straw, OF burlap
sacks trimmed with blue jean overalls
of tin from 1ve-gallon Oil cans; of dry
goods and cracker box lumber; Of mud,
sort of contrivance is resorted to as a
makeshift for a place Of hab1tation; but
it has remained for William +. Peck. q
miner, to devise a house in a class by
itself.
He has constructed Of empty beer bottles
a house 16x20 feet in the clear with cell
ings eight feet high, and containing two
rooms. 1t was built in October Of last
year by Mr.. Peck entirely unaided, at such
odd moments as he could spare from his
regular duties at the mine.
Ten thousand empty beer bottles were
Incorporated in the structure. The inside
walls are plastered with mortar, which is
spread to a depth sufficient to cover the
protruding bottle necks, thus making a
smooth surface. Mr.. Peck lived all last
winter in his peculiar abode with his wife
and two children, a girl of seven and q
boy Of three years. and says, while the
temperature in many residences of Tono-
pah reached the freezing point quite often,
his family found their glass house exceed
ingly comfortable at all times.

NEW SOUNDING DEVICE.
Machine for Testing the Uncharted
Seas.

Wednesday afternoon there was made in
the channel Just below the arsenal point
practical test Of a new device which may
be termed continuous profile sounding
machine" and which has been designed
not only for the purpose Of all ordinary
soundings, but with special reference to the
protection of the hulls of great battle
ships. several of which have in recent
years been very seriously damaged by
striking upon rocks or other Instructions.
uncharted and utterly unknown to mari
ners
1t goes without saying that any system
of sounding which will reduce to the mini
mum the chance of failure to locate indi-
yidual rocks or other comparatively small
obstructions or elevations above the nor
NAL level or slope of the bottoms Of harbors
or coast waters is greatly to be desired,
especially because of the excessive danger
from such a source to the battle ships,
which generally are of great draught, and
however slight a blow upon whose hulls 1s
sure to cause immensely expensive repairs,
not to speak of the danger to life. There
is at present no other means in use to OBJ
tain ordinary soundings than the method
of ''heaying the lead" This time-honored
method Is necessarily crude and incomplete
in results. At the exact points where the

European nations have bridged the abyss
which sunders former barbaric customs
from the humane legislation OF today. And

wholly isolated from the outer world, just
as IL they were in prison, a hospital or

power Of their employers, the least scrupu-
lous of whom take an unfair advantage Of
their helplessness. Thanks to the initiative
of the press and to the high spirit of a few
wealthy firms, strong and lurid Light has
been thrown upon those dark places Of
Japan. and redress is already in sight. The

RAILWAYS FOR PHILIPPINES.
Isolated Ports of Luzon to Be Opened
to Trade.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean,
The plans for a railway system in the
Philippines contemplate the extension OF
the railway from Manila to Dagupan
northward; the building of a new line from
Manila northward into the interior Of
Luzon. and the construction Of a new line
extending southwa:d from Manila into the
southern provinces of Luzon. The only
railway now in the Philippines is the line
from Manila to Dagupan. This is to be
in approved and extended 10 miles to the
north, opening to trade at least seven OF
the northern provinces. The estimated
cost of this improvement is 100000.
The road to the interior. intended to
place six or more of the central provinces
in direct communication with Manila, Is
expected to cost $7.00O,O0O The third rail-
way extending southwark from Manila a
distance of 70 miles, probably will cost
no more than s1,200.OOO. This is the begin
ming Of q railway system to develop the
Philippine group. Associated with the
railway enterprise is another to establish
steamship connection between Manila and
all the commercial ports Of the other is
lands of the Philippines.
Previous to the American occupation COM
munication between different points in
the island was carried on mainly by water.
The Spaniards made no attempt to de-
VelOp the interior OF the fnlllpplne6, ana
the F'ilpinos accepted the limitations i'm
posed upon them by the absence, of wagon
roads and railways. Under American
supervision, however. the natives have be-
come enthusiastic in road construction and
they are looking forward to the era Of
railway building as did the people Of our
western states fifty years ago.
Congress, in guarding the Philippines
against the land grabber. has placed hmita-
tions upon grants to railways. If there is
to be a railway system in the Philippines
it must be built by capital looking forward
to satisfactory returns from the railways
themselves. Land for the right of way
can be secured at a low price. labor is
cheap and there is promise Of profitable
business from the provinces into which the
new railways are to be extended. The
surveys have been made by government en-
gineers and the railways are to be planned
more to develop the resources Of the is
lands than to make the largest possible
amount Of money for the original in

tifc training instead Of mere manual labor
there was hardly any field for woman's ac-
tivity. Thus in none of the ministries of
government offices was a woman to be
found as civil servant. The respectable
firms Of merchants likewise rig dly exclud ID
members of the fair sex, refusing to en-
ploy them as saleswomen; only in a few
cheap bazars. where the work was very
fatiguing and the pay utterly inadequate
were women to be seen behind the counter
But here, too, benefcent change is now
being made. The firm Of Mitsui, the weav-
ers. for example-one of the wealthiest in
Japan-have just decided to take on girls.
For considerable time past women have
been engaged at railways stations, especial
ly in dealing with passenger traffic, and
now the Sanui line. which had hitherto
eliminated the female element. has com
pletely broken with it's traditions, and in
future the passengers by that company's
line will be looked after by lady conductors,
and perhaps lady controllers well. The
Crown Prince of Japan takes keen inter-
est in this movement, which aims at maxi e
life less miserable to his future female sub
5ects. and he has begun by setting an ex-
cellent example. He has married but one
wife. and has allowed it to be generally un-
derstood that he is, and intends to remain,
monogamist to the end Of his days.
