New fork.-Capt. Lars Anderson of
the Norwegian tramp steamer Eklund
put into the port of Chefoo on the
north China coast awhile ago with a
tale about how his ship had played
tag with a floating mine and typhoon

combined the typhoon and the float
ing mine. Other ships in the China
sea up between Shantung and Korea
have struck the deadly engines
Apwn by the Russians and Japanese
alike during the war Although the
war has been over two years, floating
mines are still bobbing up in the
paths of ships.
According to Capt. Anderson the
Eklund was out of Chinnampo
Korea. bound for Taku, when about
two O'Clock on the first afternoon the
lookout on the bridge sighted the
floating mine off to the starboard
about half mile ahead. The glass
had been falling rapidly all after
noon and Capt Anderson knew that
a typhoon was coming up out of
the southeast.
The roaring column of wind
struck the Eklund within ten minutes
after the mine had been sighted. For
the next three hours Capt. Anderson
ana his crew of 26 were casting dice
with death every minute. If the
typhoon didn't sink them they were
certain that the mine would, only one
death would be quicker than the
other.

A GOOD LAND ROLLER.
Edgar L. Vincent Tells How He Made
One.

We had been wanting land roller,
but had not quite come to the place
where we felt that we could spend the
money for one out of the store. We
had been spending great deal for
buildings and felt that to buy a ready
made roller Just at that time would be
more than we could stand.
A neighbor who had been longer
in the way than we had stepped to the
front with the question, why do you
not make one yourself? This is what
we did. Come up and see ours" And
we went up. The result was that we
made trip to the city and out of an
old scrap-heap fished four wheels that
bad done service on moving ma
chimes. They were about the same
size, as would be essential in such
case. We also bought steel rod
large enough to fit the holes in the
wheels and some rivets three inches
in length. Armed with these and Il
few steel drills the same size as the
rivets, we went home and, waiting for
spell of stormy weather, We tackled
the job.
81 have got you into the scrape and
now I'll see you out" the neighbor
said, and we were very glad of his
help. The first move was to get into
as long as we wished the roller planks
to be. We had them sawed two inches
thick and six inches wide.
1t was not very hard job to drill
holes through the rims of the wheel
for the rivets which were to hold the
wheel. Small grooves had to be cut
in the planks to fit over the eleva-
| tions on the outer surfaces of the
wheels designed to keep them from
slipping That was easy. Boring the
holes through the ends of the steel
job we had That was slow work, but
we accomplished 1t at last. The rod
was slipped through the wheels and
1t began to look quite like a roller.

shaft and cause the roller To scrape

heavy links like the links OF a chain,
the whole being bolted to the frame

would work When the shaft bent,
