Pier at Sailing Hour.
New York, May 11.-An Internal ma
chine connected with hundred
pounds Of dynamite was found IN a
box on the Cunard pier According to
the expert opinion of the superintend-
ent of the bureau of combustibies. The
box was found and put into the river
just in the nick of time to prevenl it
exploding and demolishing the pisl
and the Umbria, which was alongside
and about to sail. The box was left
at the pier in an apparent attempt to
have it plcoed aboard with the baggage
Of the passengers. The Umbria sailed
few minutes after the box was dis
covered and all on board were in igno-
rance Of the attempt to place an infer

The discovery Of the box was due
to the following letter received at DO

PNEUMATIC cHlsELs.
Granite Carving Is Now Performed
With Air Tools.

An industry in which pneumatic -Jols
bid fair to effect a revolution is the
working Of granite. Up till a few
years ago the granite tombstones which
are to be seen in every cemetery and
the elaborately carved granite blocks
which are now so popular for the
fronts Of banks and public houses were
dressed by hand with a hammer and
chisel in much the same way as we
may suppose the Egyptians carved the
sphinx. Now jet Of air is doing the
masOn's work, and instead of expend-
ing much time and muscle on his task
the workman has simply to guide the
pneumatic chisel over the surface of
the stone.

The fire was confined to the follow

!. THE.LOBsTER 's:ENEM1Es.

"The.. lobster, " said an old fisher
man, "has no greater enemy than
the bottom feeding fish-blackfsh,
Goldfish. haddock and so on. They
eat the lobster entire when they
find one that has just shed it's shell,
when it is..not only soft, but power
less, and they may disable a lobster
and then destroy it even when it is
in fighting trim, Half a dozen
blacktish, for instance. might come
across lobster and manage to bite
OFF its legs and so partially disable
It.
tThe lobster is agile, a quick and
long jumper through the water,
but the blackfish is quicker and it
can easily keep up; and::,,the lobster
finally disabled, it quickly finishes
Il. In this way blackfsh might
get away with lobster..of consif fer-
able. size. The Goldfish knows the
haunts of the lobster better than we
do The SKATE. clumsy as it il, gets
some; If it can blanket lobser, get
one of it's big faplike pectoral fms
over it, the skate gradually works
the lobster up to it's mouth and
holds it so while it eats it. The
skate gets crabs in the same
manner, and there is a fish called
the crab eater. In fact there is
constant warfare going on at the
bottom Of the sea among the
