the lassoers succeeded in ringing the
steers horns and the animal was
brought to a sop with a jerk.
The problem now WAS To get the
animal aboard the boat. When the
Reybold came up. the captain or
dered the heavy freight gangplank to
be slid into the water. Meanwhile. the
deck hand. almost exhausted from his
long and exciting swim. managed to
get aboard the steamboat. As the
gangplank slid into the water. the
ropes about the animals neck were
reinforced by several stout cables.
These cables were fastened to a
steam winch on the deck. Al given
signal the engines were started and
the snorting. kicking bull was drag
ged up the gangplank on to the deck
where the deck hands pounced upon
him and tied him with a dozen ropes.

garoos or wallabys, would indeed be remarkable sight.
 Another remarkable invention is a cannon that takes completely to pieces. It consists of a series of strong steel rings which fit over the inner tube, which is, of course, rifled internally Externally it tapers slightly, so that it is bigger and thicker al the breech end The rings slide down on this tube in their proper order. the central ones having projections to form the trun. niOns of the piece, and are screwed tight up by means of four rods and nuts fitting into a massive framework at either end of the gun. The rear one of these carries the breech closing me- chanlsm.
 Instability has been pretty we'll se- ured by the invention of smokeless powder and now inventors are trying to do away with the noise of the explo- sion into the bargain. This was effect ed in ancient days, according to an Arab writer, by the powder which ex- plodes without sound.' made at Fl Meldaun, the ashes of human bones taking the place of charcoal, The making of this propellent is now, at any rate. lost art, but the same ob- ject is to a certain extent attained in other ways.
 Colonel Humbert of the French army has invented species of tube which, affixed to the muzzIe of field piece, prevents either flash or sound, while q rife Invented in America has a big cartridge containing water, which in- terposes between the bullet and the powder charge in it's base. This is sup posed to regulate the escape of the powder gas and so minimize the report without diminishing the force and ve- Iooity with which the projectile leaves the barrel. The great addition which this system would make to the weight of the ammunition is quite enough to put the weapon out of court for militia " purposes

his papey was delivered just before he left for business. This morning the newsboy brought it ten minutes after he was gone. Down in the great city the night before, just as the paper was going to press, a young millionaire shot and killed a man known all over the country. The smoke had hardly cleared away before the reporter was on telephone, tlling his office about the shooting. Down in the office every thing was in excitement in moment. The large presses, which were all ready to turn out thousands of copies, were held up. In another moment men were writing out sketches of the lives of the principals in the shooting. As fast as one sheet was finished it was hurried to the CODY desk. corrected and sent to the composingroom, where it was set up into type. The art department was already busy making cuts of the victim and his murderer Four other repor- ters were now well on their way to at tack the story" from different ends. Interviews were needed from friends of both men. By this time the man in the office at the telephone had got every thing the reporter could tell him about the tragedy, and was making his type writer hum. Forty minutes after the revolver was fired the story was in type, and ten minutes later driver was whipping his horses uninercifully in vain attempt to reach the newspa- per train. 4 special train was char tered but the paper didn't reach the mans home until ten minutes after he had gone. That was the reason why he swore he would subscribe for an- other paper, His own paper reached his little town a full hour ahead of any othe.
 New Workers have the reputation of being the greatest rushers on earth. They have gained this through their hurrying and scurrying about in the daytime. Night workers go a long way toward supporting and building up this reputation Even the baker had his troubles this night. When his rolls, usually the pride of his shop, were de- livered the next morning he knew that he would hear many complaints about them An apprentice had toppled over a cauldron of grease. The basement of the shop was filled with smoke and flames in an instant Two bakers were carried out by the fremen and hurried to hospital suffering from painful ly burned arms. The owner of the shop and his assistants worked like beavers to clear away the debris, The fire had delayed the baking and the rolls didn't receive the proper amount of attention. They were little tough that morning,

DOES THE BIG CITY SLEEP?
The Common Idea is Disputed by the
 Night Worker.

The Common Idea is Disputed by the
 Night Worker,
 Should the city sleep. as 1t is com monly said to do, there would be a uni- versal 'grouch" at the breakfast table the following morning. There are full ly one hundred thousand persons in New York city whose nights are days and days are nights. If these persons went on general strike the day work CT would miss his milk, his rolls and his newspaper when he sat down to the breakfast table.
 Among the various classes of night toilers are milkmen, bakers, newspaper men, postofflce employees, policemen, expressmen, firemen, walters and cooks. There are dozens of others. Street mars and elevated trains run all night, and from two thousand to three thousand motormen, conductors, guards, ticket choppers, ticket agents and switchmen are employed alone in this department of night work, Then there are hundreds of laborers, who make repairs on street railways under artificial light because traffic cannot be delayed in the daytime.
 Only the night worker realizes the rush and haste which are going on in the great city. The busy man grum- bles and growls because the mllkman was few minutes late in making his rounds. It might be interesting to fer ret out the tradiness of that bottle of cream. Soon after midnight a heavy wagon drawn by four horses, might have been heard rumbling through the streets on it's way to the West Shore ferry. Before 1t started on It's Journey, away up in Orange county, that bottle, with many others, had been put aboard milk train. The train, perhaps, was held up on a siding for an hour or more while a heavy freight was having its own troubles further down the line. When the milk train drew into the West Shore station it was nearly an hour behind it's schedule. The driver | of the wagon missed the ferryooat by a minute and had to wait thirty more, The bottle of cream was two hours late when it reached New York, In his ef- forts to make up lost time the driver hurried his horses over the slippery as- phalt One of the leaders fell. A hasty examination showed that one of Its legs was broken and its days of usefulness were over. It took thirty minutes more to get another horse. The wagon was hardly in motion again, when a bullet from policeman's revolver end ed old Joe's suffering. The milkman did not arrive until five minutes after the busy man appeared at the break fast table. Usually the bottle Of cream was on the dumbwaiter two hours pe- lore any one was up in the house

but he wondered that he had been able to bake them at all.
 While the upper part of the city is wrapped in slumber, down in the main postofice Uncle Sam's employees are wde awake sorting the mail. The East Side, which numbers among its inhabi- tants Jew and Gentle, Negro and Mon golian, and, in fact, every race under the sun, never allows the firemen to have an unbroken sleep. The owner of little clothing store has not been do- ing much business recently, a eat knocks over a lamp in its efforts to reach dried fish hung over it, the place is in flames in a minute, firemen play a stream on the blaze, and next week there is big sign in front of the store which reads: Great Sacrifice Fire Sale, 33 1S Off.
 Over on the West Side the policeman has his trouble. The Negro and the Italian are handy with the razor and the stiletto. MT. Blue Coat is standing on a corner thinking about his new cap, which is yet unfamiliar. There is a piercing shriek He shoves oen door, rushes up two flights through a dark, ill-smelling tenement house hallway and into front room where he finds a man lying on the floor gasping for breath, There is no blood and he won- tiers where the wound Is. Pulling open the victims clothes he finds a small hole, not much larger than that which might be made with 8 hatpin. Then he knows that 1t is another case for De- tective Petrosini, the Italian sleutf, who is feared more by the Blank Hand than any other man.
 Hardly had he returned to his post after making his report when MT Blue
