LARGEST FRUIT STEAMER.
Fine Refriserating System Installed
in the San Jose.

in the San Jose.
The steamship San Jose, which ar
rived in Boston the other day with
large load of fruit from Port Limon,
Costa RIGA, is the largest fruiter ever
constructed for service between the
West Indies and the United States,
and is also the first vessel equipped
with refrigerating machinery to ar
rive at that port, which enables her
to make long passages with her per-
ishable cargoes.
The cargo space is divided into sep
arate compartments by steel bulk
heads, which extend to the upper
deck. All these holds and tween
deck spaces are insulated, and very
complete and efficient system OF re-
frigerating machinery, with air ducts
to every compartment, for the preser-
walton of the fruit during shipment,
has been fitted. BY this means, says
The Scientific American, low tenn
perature can be secured in the tropi-
cal climates. and the fruit landed here
in the best possible condition.
The keel plate of the San Jose was
laid at Belfast, Ireland, about nlne
months ago. Her general dimensions
ate: Length between perpendiculars,
$50 feet; length over all, S45 feet;
breadth, nodded, A feet 3 inches;
depth of hold to the upper deck, 81
feet 8 inches. She is rugged with two
pole masts, has three complete steel
decks, also topgallant, forecastle and
orlop decks Of wood, the latter ex-
tending throughout the forward part
of the vessel. The engines and boil
ers are inclosed at all the decks by
steel castings. The San Jose has ca
pacity for $4,000 punches of bananas

But the Trap Set for Them Was a
Splendid Success.
There had been a number of bur-
Elaries in the neighborhood, and the
soung electrician thought it would be
great thing for him if he could catch
the thieves.

he said to his father, you must leave
your key in the door. That will be

THAT will be the hook
The old gentleman rubbed his hands
and nodded again.
Between the bait and the hook we
will land some of these providers to-
hight" the young electrician asserted.
That night the old gentleman went
to his club. The young electrician
strung his wire and waited The po-
liceman on the beat stopped at the
basement entrance just to "get bite"
and see that no one had run away
with the cook. The young electrician
became tired waiting and began ex-
perimenting with his wire and the
battery.
The old gentleman came from the
club in a cab little before midnight.
The cabman had "been there before, :"
and he solicitously inquired if he
should find the keyhole for the old
gentleman.
The old gentleman thought it
would be good plan.
AS the cabman turned back SOM
ersault over the railing of the front
porch he kicked the old gentleman in
the stomach and knocked him down
the steps. He also gave a yell that
could be heard eight blocks and land
ed on the neck of the policeman, who
was just backing away from the base
ment door with piece of pie in his
mouth. -
1t spoiled the pie. And the old gen.
tleman was arrested and fined for as
saulting an officer who was engaged
in the discharge of his duty.

A new system of laying asphalt roads
Is being adopted in London. Instead
IF paving the road with one homo
geneous mass of the paving material.
which means the closing of the thor
Oughfare for prolonged period, the
asphalt is laid in slabs, in the same
manner as paving stones. The asphalt
slabs are previously hardened, SO that
all it is necessary to do is to lay them
down on the prepared foundation, and
cement them into position with tar. BY
this system road can be reopened for
traffic as rapidly as it is paved, while
a further distinct advantage is OBJ
tanned, as owing to the use of the tar
at the joints, the surface Of the road
way is less slippery than in the case
Of large unbroken stretches of asphalt

Grip is well named. The original French
term, la grippe, has been shortened by the
busy American to read grip

has been coined that exactly describes the
