The Legislature has plenty of
work before il, but the Democratic
members appear to be at logger
heads over something and little was
accomplished in the House the past
week. We would advise them to
get tcgcthcr aud not allow petty

interfere with the business COR

IN the chlmern being that the system,
owing to the earlier conditions, was more

because they recognized the superiority
OF secre tballot, and had long known
ard felt the faults OF oral voting.

fectly and universally free ballot, and a

FORE grasp on the water, is greater.
In every propeller now being used on
steamships there is certain amount of lost
power in the center of the whirling blades.
An electric fan is a form of propeller.
1t forces air out instead of water. II you
place your hand in the center Of an electric
fan you will find that there is no air The
breeze comes from the outside edges of the
blades.
Mr.. F7indt. noticing this get to work to
obviate the difficulty. Clearly a propeller
with nothing but blades on the outside edge
gripping the water would be more powerful
than the present kind!
Accordingly he placed a solid metal wheel
or. his propeller shaft and set his blades on
1t. That form Of propeller answered the pur-
pose, but brought on another difficulty.
The wheel on the propeller, being large,
caught the water and tended to retard the
progress of the boat. taking away the ad-
vantage gained by the more perfectly ad-
justed blades.
Something must be done to cover UP tho
hub wheel! With this problem confronting
him, Mr.. Flindt evolved the new style Of
ships bottom
By arching his vessels bottom the whole
length he. secured flow Of water under the
center OF the boat equal to that along the
sides and established bearing for his pro-
peller equal in diameter to the hub wheel
upon which his propeller blades were fas-
tened
The difficulties OF one invention had solved
themselves by another invention equally
pregnant with benefits for fast ocean travel.

he said
When Ericsson declared that he could

crate Merrimac and the rebel neet he was
laughed down, but he persisted and accom-
piished 1t.
When Holland told the Government that
he could stay under water four hours and
steer his boat by compass under any desired
point in order to blow up the warshiDs Of
the enemy. he was given no assistance.
He persevered and built his own boat.
Then the Government bought it. II make
my claim Of three and q half days across
the ocean will not be believed. but shall
persevere and the mail lines will buy my

II am confident that can do what Say

and suitable preparations were made for
him.
He would not enter the comfortable house
built for the head Of the expedition. Tor
q woman lived in 1t, and that fact made 1t
. haren1.
Mrs. Haynes waited in fear and trembling
for the approach Of this monarch OF the dis
trIct, for her experience hitherto had been
! anything but reassuring
l Sitting with her native maid near the door
Of a. tent she listened to the 5eers of the
multitude without. while pretending to read.
At last the coming Of the guest was an
nounced. and upon looking up she saw tho
figure of venerable man. with his beard
dyed red with henna, standing at short
distance. regarding her intently.
She rose. and without hesitation. by some
fortunate instinct. advanced toward him.
extending her hand.
The chief took It, and gave her beautiful
rose, and en- the instant The ieers died away.
and from that moment the popularity OF the
only civilized white woman In the camp
was fixed.
On the occasion of the arrival OF Doctor
Haynes and his wife one of the lesser chiefs
had offered Doctor Haynes his horse TO
ride uD q hill but when the doctor wished
to have his wife mount instead the Arab
chief refused point blank.
A few months later he was only too glad
to offer his horse to Mrs. Haynes of his
own free will.
Once established in the house her woman
ly instinct righted much that seemed wrong.
but housekeeping was not enough for the
busy mind Of Mrs. Haynes.
She. too, wished to aid In the discoveries
taking place all about her. and. after some
persuasion on her part, her husband yielded
to her request, and she went to the trenches
to oversee the work. Just as Doctor Haynes
himself did.
When the work was done for the day 1t
was the pleasure Of the workmen to bring
their mistress home in a chair. and she
soon became the most popular parsonage in
all the camp.
The favor shown her by Hadji Tarfa had
much to do with the beginning Of this popu-
larity which soon became universal.
When. a little later. 1t became necessary
to return the visit o. tho Arab chieftain,
Doctor Haynes was accompanied by Mrs.
Haynes. at theespecial request Of the chief.
and his reception Of her was as cordial as
1t could be made
She was taken Immediately to the harem,
and there met the three wives Of tho chief.
One was old. and one very young. but all
three did whatever they could to amuss and
interest the strange white visitor.
There were dances, cakes and cofes. and
