new YORK DAY By DAY.
Some of the Things Done Daily in the
Metropolis.

Captain Massey and Mate Cramcr
OF the American schooner William
II. Bailey, who, with the other mem
bers OF the crew, were picked up IN
an open boat at sea on March 8,
after abandoning their vessel, were
brought here on the steamer venetia
from the West Indies.
The Bailey sailed from Wiggin,
s. c., on March 4, for New York,
with a cargo of lumber. She had
scarcely cleared the land when
stormy northerly gales set in, and
the sea became extremely rough. In
the midst OF the storm the steamer
sprung a leak, the pumps became
choked and she began to fill and set
tie so rapidly that every sea swept
her decks. On March z, when the
Bailey became unmanageable, the
crew left her to her fate. They were
picked up by the steamer Graecia
after they had been drifting about in
the little boat for 80 hours.

Astronomy,s Intricacies.

Miss Dorothea Klumpke, the astro-
homer, was talking about the difficult
ties and intricacies that astronomy
presents to the lay mind.
For instance" she said, smiling,
there is the well-known case of the
meteorite that fell on a Vermont
farm in 1890.
''It was a valuable meteorite, and
the landlord at once stepped up and
claimed it. All minerals and me-
GALS on the land belong to me-" he
said. That's in the lease
But the tenant demurred. This
meteorite,' he said, wasn't on the
farm, you must remember, when the
lease was drawn up
THE landlord perceived the JUS
tiee of that claim. He thought a
moment. Then he said, decisively,

But the tenant was ready for
him. She's got neither wings MOI

Cancer Cured.

Remarkable effects upon malig-
naat cancer in a woman have~been
achieved at the General Memorial
Hospital, in this city, by hypodermic
injections of the mixed toxins of cry
sipelas and bacillus prodigiosus. The
patient, the wife of a lieutenant in
the United States Army, was hurried
to New York from the Philippines
that she might see her parents before
she died. DR.. William B. Coley gave
her AZ injections of the mixed toxins
in combination with the X-ray, after
which the cancerous growth was re-
moved surgically, and the patient APP
parently entirely recovered. Exami-
nation Of the growth showed it had
degenerated very much under the
toxin treatment, and it is said if the
woman had been stronger the entire
growth might have been absorbed
without recourse to surgery.

silver Tips ON PocketInires.

You wouldn't think that the little
German silver tips on pocketknives
are cast separately, but such is the
case" said Clayton Davis. Just
why they cannot be cut from one
large sheet OF metal I do not know,
but every one of these tiny pieces of
metal is poured separately, thou
sands of little molds being required
for the purpose in a large establish
ment- Scrap German silver is melted
down and a little aluminium added,
the effect of which is to release the
oxides in the silver and make it run
more easily. The molds are poured
standing up and when the metal
hardens the casting is pared off to
give it the rounded shape in which
it is used.
The American boy of the present
day is not the whittier his Yankee
ancestors are said to have been, but
there is plenty Of sale for pocket
knives, those of good quality being
bought extensively. The English
and Germans are ahead of us in
making tool steel, and the result is
that Made in Germany is seen on
the blades of knives that are made

Old Cannon Can't Be Broken.

A good story is being told at the
Mare Island Navy Yard concerning
San Francisco contractor, who
bought all the old obsolete cannon
which were sold at the local yard
some time ago. The cannon were
all of the smooth bore kind, and in
order that they might be easily
handled for shipment to the city all
sorts of schemes were tried in an
endeavor to break them with dyna-
mite and blasting powder, but they
were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yard and the cannon
were drilled full of holes, in order
to weaken them for breaking open
with wedges, but this was also unsuc-
cessful. The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard of them they
were corralled in the hills near Point
Richmond, where an effort was being
made to break them open with dyna-
mite again.
The cannon which proved to be
so strong were among the armament
of the war craft which sailed the seas
in 1812.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Greek Indians was asked by United
States commission COT eminent. physi-
cians): Can you cure cancer? We
have a patient who has been dying
for seventeen years, end we are I'M
able to do anything for him." The
aged redman called for a hot iron,
and with it burned a big hole in the
leg of the man where the cancer
was gnawing. The physicians were
astounded. He explained briefly:

Almost Died For New Shit.

With a red ring around his neck
where a one-inch rope had chafed it,
Joseph Cohen appeared before Magls-
trate Baker TO explain that he did
not intend to commit suicide by
hanging himself from a clothes pole
on the roof of his home on Tues
day night, but TO brighten his father
into giving him a new suit of clothes.
Il went up on tho roof after dark
with another boy" he said, land
after fixing the moose sent the boy
to my father with a note telling him
he would find his sons body on the
roof" To make the rope tighten
and have the attempt look moro
realistic, Cohen fell to his knees.
The rope frightened so much that he
could not breathe, but, fortunately
for him, he made such a noise on
the tin roof kicking around trying
to release himself that the people on
the top floor heard him and cut him
loose in time to save his life. Magic
trate Baker, after hearing the story,
said he thought Cohen, who is IS
years old had been punished enough,
and discharged him.

Weekly Review of Trade says:
One OF the best features OF the

despite the unsettled condition OF
the money market. Congestion In
the iron and steel industry and tardi-
ness Of deliveries were accumulated
by the flood which stopped produc-
ton at many plants In the Pittsburg
district for three days or more.
Some mills were damaged to an ex-
tent that was not readily remedied,
and the record-breaking rate of pig
iron output was reduced, so that
March will not attain the new month
~ high-water market that seemed
probable. A very heavy tonnage Of
Southern iron has been taken in the
Birmingham market and at firm
quotations, and the inquiry for ma
terial indicates the situation at steel
mills. The food closed order books
for tubes, which were already very
late with deliveries, and puts struc-
turai mills still further behind just
when open weather makes full pro-
duction most desirable.
A lull in the volume of new busi-
ness is welcomed by the cotton mills,
as pressure for delivery had advanced
prices to the limit of safety in the
opinion of many manufacturers.

Saved BY BULLDOGS.

George Keller was before the JEFF

plant brought by a gas inspector
that he (Kellar) kept two bulldogs
chained so close to the gas meter in
his cellar that the inspector couldn't
approach it. GA man takes his life
in his hands going in that cellar.
Your Honor" explained the gas in
spectOr. Them dogs is fed on raw
meat every day and gifts dead rats
to shake to keep them savage.
Sometimes they gifts old pairs of
pants instead. The last time I went
in they were tearing pair apart
between them, and the growls of
them was something blood-curdling,
Your Honor, there's over 500 due
for gas"
How do you know if you haven't
seen the meter?" demanded Kellar.
My dogs they makes that cellar
their happy little home. Personally,
1 have no objection to the inspector
walking right in, but the rights of
my dogs is paramount" You'll
have to let the inspector see his
meter" the Court told Kellar.
