Losses IN Coal Storage.

The Illinois tests of Prof s. w Parr
and Mr., w. F. Wheeler seem to have
shown that the chief losses in the
storage of large quantities of coal are
due to breaking up into dust and to
fires from spontaneous combustion
The maximum loss from weatherins
was not more than 31a per cent. in iii
nois coal stored wear Other expert
mentors have differed, and have re.
ported a loss in caloriflc power from
weathering as high as 25 per cent

CLlNCHED THE CASE
SAILOR PROVED POSSESSION OF
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
Disconnected Opposing Lawyer at the
Very Moment He Thought He
Was Assured OF Complete
Victory.

1.-THE master of vessel In a port In
the Gulf of Mexico being in need of
money borrowed It and to secure Its
repayment executed what Is called a
bottomry bond" writes a correspon-
dent OF the National Magazine. by
this bond II was agreed that II the
money was not paid within so many
days after the vessel arrived at New
York proceedings might be taken to
have the vessel sold and the debt paid
out Of the proceeds.
THE money was not paid and | was
retained to enforce the bond and be-
gan suit. Someone interested In the
vessel appeared in the suit and denied
that the bond had been executed by
the master, as had been alleged.
ut became necessary to take the
testimony on this point of sailor
whose name was subscribed to the
bond as having witnessed its execu-
ton. In answer to my questions the
sailor said that the captain called him
into the vessels cabin and asked him
to be witness to the bond, and he
signed his name to II as witness,
and he spoke of the paper as the bot
tomry bond.
"The opposing counsel in a sharp
cross-examination asked him how he
knew It was bottomry bond. and the
witness answered that he read enough
of II to know what II was. Some 9TH
err skilful questions brought out the
fact that when the sailor came into
the cabin the captain was sitting on
the other side of table with the pa
per before him and the sailor sat down
at the side of the table facing the
captain, so that the paper was be.
tween them; that the paper was not
read to him, that the captain turned
over the first leaf of the paper and
signed his name at the end of 1t and
told the sailor where to sign his name,
which he did, and then left the cabin.
my heart sank, for I saw that 1t
was open to the other side to say
that the document lay on the table up
side down to the sailor, and that his
statement that he read enough of the
document to know IL was a bottomry
bond was false. because, of course, he
could not read writing which was up
side down. and, therefore, his whole
evidence should be disbelieved.
The lawyer opposed to me saw the
point also. but instead of leaving the
matter where 1t was he concluded to
clinch 1t, and. taking the document, he
laid 1t down on the table before the
witness upside down and said to him
Let us see you read the paper now.
ITO my great surprise and relief the
witness read the writing, upside dowr
as 1t was, with nearly as much fiuency
as II 1t had been right side up.
That ended the contest over the
execution of the bond This sailors
ability to read writing when 1t was I'D
side down was curious instance Of
the many curious things which sailors
do to occupy their time during idle
watches on long voyages"
