FIGHTING FIRES AT SEA.
A New Device That May Save Many
Lives.
From the Cosmos tParIs). ?

From the Cosmos tParis).<~
The admission Of water to the hold is
often insufficient, and may perhaps be
dangerous on account of it's weight, which
diminishes the buoyancy Of the huh. II
is needless to add that it also may injure
the whole cargo, even that part not
reached by the. fire. For this reason steam
is often used as substitute, and IN
ventors have also planned TO introduce
carbonic gas.
An Australian inventor, Mr.. George
Harker, has had very original idea. He
also uses incombustible gases to stop
the progress Of the fire; but he does not
generate these gases by a special appa-
ratus, he takes them fyom the place
where they are naturally found on board
every steamer He uses the combustion
gases that normally escape through the
tunnels with the smoke and other products
Of the furnaces.
The device has already been installed
on steamer. the Fiona, belonging TO an
Australian sugar company The OBJECT Is
to reduce the quantity of oxygen in the
so slight that the phenomena OF combus-
ton can no longer go ON. Normally this
proportion is II per cent, and Mr.. Harker
has proved that if the percentage falls TO
about Il or. Is, the flames resulting from
combustion are Immediately arrested. II
the reduction Of the oxygen Is pushed
somewhat farther, the combustion itself
will stop And Mr.. Harker states. with
perfect logic, that IL We convey into the
hold at the beginning OF fire the gases
OF combustion that are passing out
through the funnel. before they reach the
outer air, we shall have an atmosphere
where fame and combustion will quickly
disappear.

COLORADO CALLS SETTLERS.
Attractions of the Centennial State
Proclaimed.

From the Denver Sews-fimes
Come to Colorado because it's a good
place to make a living. 1t doesn't make
any difference what sort of work yours
liz, this is good place to do 1t and to
make it pay. There isn't another state
in the Union with such varied resources
as Colorado. There isn't another place.
in the world where opportunities are iy-
ing around out OF doors waiting for
some one to pick them UP, the way they
are here.
Did you know that the richest
straight farming land in the world Ia
In Colorado? 1t is, and the bank de-
posits show it. Did you know that the
richest orchards in the world, not even
excepting the orange groves OF Cali
fOrnia, are right here in Colorado? But
they are. There isn't another state IN
the Union that produces so many top
notch articles: so many things that com
mand just a little better price than
things Of the same general sort from
anywhere else. When a man who knows
good eating starts out to order his ia =
vorite articles Of food, il sounds like a.
lesson on the geography OF Colorado. He
gets San Luis bacon. and Fort Collins
lamb. and Rocky Ford cantaioupes ana
Glenwood strawberries. ana Greeley or
Carbonate potatoes, and Grand valley
apples. and Palisade or Paonia peaches.
Every one OF these things is a top-of-
the-market article. Every one is SO good
that It is counterfeited-and that is the
surest testimonial OF all. You never
heard OF anybody counterfeiting Mexican
dollars, did you?

AFTER AN OPERATION.
doctors Now Have Patients Out Of
Bed Within a Few Days.
From American Medicine.

From American NediciDc.
The treatment of patients after sur
rical operation has undergone some strlk-
ing changes in recent years. a New 1orA
surgeon comments on the radical dif-
ference, for instance, in the position OF
the patient
He. in common with other we'll known
members of the profession, places patients
il possible in semi-sittins posture as
soo1 as they arc put in bed after the
operation. He thinks they make a better
recovery from the anesthetic
This will be a great deal OF surprise
to persons who underwent operations
even SO recently as six or seven years
ago: but another change in post-opera-
tive treatment will be much more OF

ROOSEVELT CARAVAN.
The Progress Through the Land Of
Great Game.

Theodore Roosevelt, IN Scribner's Magazine
The American flag which flew over my
tent was a matter of mitch pride to the
porters and was always carried at the
head or near the head OF the line of
march: and after it in single file came the
long line Of burden bearers. AS they
started. some of them would blow on
horns or whistles and others beat little
tomtonls; and at intervals this would be
relieved again and again throughout the
march: or the men might suddenly begin
to chant, or merely to keep repeating in
unison some one word or one phrase
which, when we asked to have it trans
lated, might or might not prove to be en-
no burdens. and the tont boys hardly any.

A COLLEGE SWAN.
Intelligent English Bird Found
Strangled in. Emmanuel Pond.

From the London Nail
The opening of term at Emmanuel Col
lege, Cambridge. England, has been dim
| med by fatal accident which has over
, taken one of the most valued institutions
| of the college, the male bird Of tue pair
! OF swans which for many years of con-
stantly succeeding undergraduates have
sailed the waters of the Paddock pond
1t had been found with it's neck caught
in the fence of wire netting which sur
rounds the pond. strangled while attempt
ing to eat the grass on the other side.
The body now lies in the gardeners tool
house, and strong feeling exists IN the
college that the bursar should have 1T
stuffed.
Emmanuel is famous among Cambridge
colleges for its water fowl, which by con-
slant association with undergraduates
passing the pond on their way TO the hotel
are occasionally led into dissipated
courses.
Some time ago certain Emmanuel men
took to scattering bread crumbs on the
| lawn surrounding the pond. The unso-
phlsticated college ducks, mistaking this
action for one of pure benevolence. used
to receive them thankfully. When Il y
had come to look for them as mattei OF
course their benefactors one day soaked
the bread crumbs in brandy. The unfor-
tunate birds quickly ate themselves into
an advanced state of intoxication. and
the dean of the college, who happened to
pass at the time, was scandalized to see
six ducks Keeling back to their pond with
a staggering waddle which left no doubt
as to their condition.
The deceased swan, although the parent
| an even grandparent Of many swans at
other colleges, was frequently compelled
to participate in college rags. Its usual
function being to lie, securely trussed. in
a mans bed, with a view to pecking him
as he got i'll. The intelligent bird Is stated
to have come in course of time to take
noticeable delight in these disorder'y
proceedings.

FROM LesHSs weekly.
Environment. mental suggestion, the ef-

on the nervous system have for years
been a part Of the treatment given to in
sane patients not only by advanced ply
scians abroad, but in the New York
State Asylum at Central Islip. DR..
George Smith, the physician in charge OF
the huge institution, relates many inter-
esting results from such treatment
Should any one doubt the effect of certain
colors on the nerve centers of living
creatures, let him wave a red fiag at
bull and note result.
In San Francisco 1 met one afternoon
an artist who appeared to be in an I'M
usually sunny temper-a mood so foreign
to his nature that was forced to ask the
cause. II Just came past the Chronicle
corner he replied, where the flower
boys have baskets and baskets of bright
yellow peoples on the curb. The memory
Of those flowers glistening in and reflect

The effect of color on even the lower
animal life is testified to by bright little
woman with scientific turn, who expert
ments with two tiny alligators which she
has had for several years. The grotesQue
little pets are frequently allowed to run
on the rug in the sun. Invariably they
select the brightest spots on which to

watched to make certain of their BEN

tently on the pink. After making the ex-
pertinent several times with the same re-
suit she lined their box with pink and
the little creatures are presumably happy.

Wind Regarded as Favorable.

During the forenoon the sea has been
smooth on Diamond shoals. with the wind
blowing only fourteen miles an hour from
the northwest. This is favorable to the
stranded steamer.
The observer OF the United States
weather bureau at Hatteras, who sent
this information, reported that the pros
poets were good for floating the Brewster
if assistance reached her quickly.
1t is reckoned that the wrecking tugs
Merritt and Coley will arrive alongside
the stranded Brewster some time during

it is believed she can he floated.
In addition to the revenue cutter Onon-
