The Rocking or Lake Erie.

The 25O-mile trough Of Lake Erie lies
approximately in the direction Of the
west to southwest winds which pre-
vail in that part Of the country. Thus
the lake offers an excellent opportuni-
ty for studying the effects of the wind
upon a large body Of enclosed water,
and very interesting these effects
sometimes prove. Rhythmic gusts
produce a rocking motion. and great
blows from the west or southwest,
like that, for instance, which accom-
panied the Galveston hurricane In
September 1900, sweep the liquid
body Of the lake eastward, and some
times cause a rise Of eight feet or
more at Buffalo In the course Of a
few hours. AS soon as the maximum
force Of the gale has passed, the wa
ter swings back. Continued rockings
are observed on days when the
strength Of the wind fuctuates.

BRIDGE ON THE CLIFFS

A clever and peculiar example of
bridge construction has recently been
carried out upon the seacoast Of Coun-
ty Antrim, in the north of Ireland At
this point the shore drops precipitously
into the sea, the cliffs, which are
known as "Gobans' Cliffs" being 200
or 300 feet high.
The seacoast scenery is of the wild

solemn grandeur in the north of Ire
land; and to enable visitors and tour
lists to view the spectacle from it's most

For the first time the ancient and
primitive methods of labor in the Holy
Land have been disturbed by the intro
duction of Western inventions. The
natives Of Syria have been jolted out
Of the rut of ages by the boom Of the
thrashing machine and the musical
whirr of the reaping machine!
Last summer an enterprising Ameri-
can imported the first reaper and set
It to cutting the grain in the Syrian
fields. He had 1t sent all the way
from Chicago. Then a little later a
steam thrasher, the product Of an In
diana foundry. was heard Of in Coele-
Syria. 1t created great excitement
among the native farmers. They were

cluded It to be the work Of the evil

Definition of a Matt.

Everybody connected with the First
District Municipal Court in Long ISL
and City, from Justice Thomas G.
Kadien down, says the New York
Times, has been burning the midnight
gas delving deep into electrical lore
since the trial, few days ago, Of a
suit brought by the New York and
Queens County Electric Light and
Power Company against consumer
to recover the amount of bill for
power furnished. Among the wit
nesses called by George w. Schoon-
maker, counsel for the company, was
an expert in electrical matters.
"Now," said Mr.. Schoonmaker in
the course Of the examination, ad-
dressing the witness, Twill you please

looking up suddenly from some papers
before him.
"Yes, your honor" returned the
lawyer.

somewhat irritated.
"Why, yes, that is 1t, your honor
and | have asked the witness to ex
plain what watt is," said Mr.. Schoon
maker, coolly.
Explain what?" asked the justice
beginning to wax indignant.

The court was about to lose its pa
tience when Mr.. Schoonmaker saw
the point and hastened to explain
And he said that In the world of elec
tricity volt was the unit Of meas
urement for pressure, an ampere th'
unit of measurement for volume ant
a watt the unit Of measurement baset
upon both pressure and volume. H.

provided. The intervals between the
rocks are spanned by delicate and
spider-looking bridges of iron. The
length of the walk so far constructed
Is nearly three miles, and 1t Is to be
continued for another two miles,
which it is anticipated will be COM
pleted within a few months.
The most notable triumph Of engi-
neering in connection with this work
Is the erection of what is known as
Gobans bridge. This structure is dis
tinctive owing to its curious design,
being elliptical in shape. This piece
of work was rendered necessary to
span gap IS feet in width, giving ac-
cess from the mainland to an isolated
rock known as "The Man-ofWar."
Owing to the exposed position Of the
site Of the bridge, the turbulency Of
the surf playing upon the rocks imme-
diately below, and the strength Of the
tides, it was found impossible to erect
the bridge on the spot. Under these
circumstances the structure was erect
ed at Belfast and transferred intact to
scow. The latter was then towed
to "The Man-of-War" rock and care
fully brought to, as far as possible, i'm
mediately below the spot where it was
to be installed. Lifting tackle was
then placed in position upon each side
Of the gap to be spanned at the road
way level, and the lifting cables at
tached to each end of the bridge. The
hosting operation had to be carried
out with extreme care, owing to the
cramped space in which the lifting
tackle was operated, and to prevent
the structure being thrown by its own
swinging motion when suspended in
the air against the face of the rocks,
which would have seriously damaged
it. The structure was, however, lifted
to its position without mishap. 1t was
originally intended to stay the bridge
when in position with guys, but when
the bridge was erected 1t was found
to be sufficiently rigid to dispense with
these additional supports

In the vicinity, a walk has been cut
out and built in the face of the cliffs.
This pathway Is only from two to
three feet in width, and winds along
the face and climbs the cliffs in a
most extraordinary manner, which
from a short distance imparts to the
promenade most perilous appearance,

~ be pronounced lacking in tact. You
agree with me? 1 should not hesitate
TO say that she had not proved herself
a perfect wife. "Monstrousw I hear

Several instances Of want of tact

the case of wife who had gone abroad
and sent home foreign postcard to
the following effect:
Safely arrived, and have just en-

Her husband wrote to her:
What madness possessed you to
write what you did on a postcard? You
have bitterly eXasperated my mother
and her cook, and the house is in such
turmoil in consequence that l am

The peccant wife's reply was this:
Il can't forgive myself, and l am sure
you will never forgive me for writing
that idiotic postcard. You will scarcely
believe me when tell you that writing

idea possessed me that a postcard in
English could not be understood, for

Mr.. Warrington Crane King, we'll
known Washingtonian, Confederate
veteran and business man, died Sunday
night at his home in Washington. His
death was sudden, and is attribut-
ed to heart disease. He was born in
Virginia and came from prominent
family. His father was Maj. Charles
Kirby King, and the deceased served
with much distinction throughout the
civil war. He was first a clerk and
afterward member of the famous Nor
folk Light Artillery Blues. His great
grandfather, Col. Miles King, was an
officer in the Revolutionary war I'm
mediately after the civil war Mr.. King
went to Washington and engaged in
business. His upright character gain
ed him the respect of all who knew him,
while his genial disposition and ready
humor made him a host Of friends, in
Guiding large number in this city, who
will sincerely mourn their loss. He is
survived by his widow, Mrs. Adelaide b.

The New Pope.

People in this city, Protestants as
we'll as Catholics, have during the past
few days manifested much interest in
the proceedings of the conclave in Rome
called for the purpose of selecting sue
cessor to Leo XIII. OF course every
thing within the Vatican was hermeti-
cally sealed, and the only intimation the
outside world had that the cardinals were
alive were the occasional puffs of grey
smoke that emanated from the chimney
which indicated that another vote bad
been taken without result and that the
ballots had been burned. This morn
ing the tension was relaxed by the re-
ceipt of the news in this Office that an
other successor to st. Peter had been
elected in the person of Cardinal Joseph
Sarto, Patriarch of Venice, who is to be
known as Plus X. The dispatch was
bulletined in front of the office aud
many read it, and in few minutes
time the news had been passed from
mouth to mouth or transmitted by tele-
phone to every part of the city.

Police Court Notes.

Justice May appeared in the Police
Court this morning and requested acting
Chief Knight to communicate with Mr..
John T. Sweeney, president of the
Board of Aldermen, and ask him to
preside in the court. He said Com
monwealth's Attorney Brent had given
his official opinion that he (Mr. May
had no jurisdiction in cases of assault
and battery, and he was consequently
ready to turn the court over to Mr..
Sweeney. Mr.. May said, however, that
he did not concur in Mr.. Brent's opin-
ion. A telephone message was sent to
the Portner Brewery, where Mr..
Sweeney is employed, and the answer
was to the effect that he would not be
there until about half.past nine O'Clock.
There. were but two cases on the docket
-one that of cOlored man arrested as
a suspicious character, and the other
that of colored woman who had been
drunk and disorderly-in both Of which
Mr.. May had jurisdiction. In the first
case some railroad men had been sum-
mond as witnesses, and it would have
been a serious inconvenience for them
to have lost an hour or more in waiting
for Mr.. Sweeney to appear. Mr.. May,
therefore, concluded to dispose of the
cases. The cOlored man was fined SIS
and in default of payment sent to the
chain gang for 80 days; the woman was
dismissed with the understanding that
she leave for her home in Washington
Immediately. Later in the morning
Mr.. Sweeney appeared in the Mayors
Office, he having been delayed in his
arrival by indisposition. Heannounced
his intention of presiding in the Police
Court in future during the Mayors
absence, and the questions raised con-
corning Justice Mays eligibility were
thus brought to a close.

Tug Juno to be Rebuilt.

The tug Juno, owned by Mr.. Park
Agnew, which had been lying at the ship
yard for some time past out of service, is
to be rebuilt, it is stated, and will be
used for towing on the river. The Juno
has a new boiler and engine in her, and
her owners will practically rebuild her
hull, making her almost new boat.
For several months past there has been a
great scarcity of towboats on Chesapeake
bay caused by the fact that number
have been sold away to other ports and
others have charters that keep them en-
ployed, and this fact, it is stated, has de-
termined the owners of the Juno to re-
build her and put her in service again.

she was bent on vengeance against a
