Mead, brothers, of Orange, left here
in their automobile, and will encircle
the United States before they return.
A third member of the party on the
10000 mile jaunt is their dog, Bob. "
The auto will be their home during
the trip. They carry on it, besides
their clothing, a tent and camping
and cooking utensils, besides a supply
of food. They intend to camp as the
fancy strikes them, pitch their tent,
cook their meals and stay as long as
they please.
Their route is down the Atlantic
coast to the Gulf of Mexico, thence
along the gulf and into Mexico, where
they will stay several weeks. From
there they will run up the Pacific
coast to British Columbia and east
ward through Canada, finishing up by
dash down the Hudson river
Bob is very important member of
the combination. One of his uses will
be to split any herds Of cattle that
may be encountered, so that the auto
may run through. Another is to de-
termine the depth Of water in streams
to be forded, Bob having been trained
to yelp if the water is more than a
certain depth He is as enthusiastic
an autoist as either of his masters,
and has accompanied the auto every
time it has left the garage. The
Meads, both of whom are wealthy, ex-
pect to be gone a year.

A handwheel on the spindle rod Is
used to raise the piston when the
cylinder is being filed with oil from
the reservoir.
The apparatus is mounted in the
bow as shown in the illustration, says
the Popular Mechanics. Two small de-
livery pipes protrude through the bow,
one on each side of the stem. The dis
charge of each pipe is about half a
gallon per hour, but this may be
varied according to requirements, den
sity of oil, etc.
Oil has been utilized for many years
as a means of subduing the waves,
and in many instances has saved YES

The Sixth Sense.

At a recent meeting of the Paris
Academy Of Sciences, Monsieur Kunz
discussed the phenomenon of feeling
at distance" to which the power Of
blind people to avoid nearby OBJ
stacles is ascribed. Monsieur Kunz
believes that such power exists, end
that it is not peculiar to the blind. 1t
seems to be shared by others who
possess peculiar constitution. The
faculty appears to reside in the skin,
for experiments show that it is not
connected with the sense of hearing.
AS to its nature, little knowledge has
been obtained. There is a tendency
to ascribe obscure phenomena of this
kind to electrical action, but the mode
Of operation remains unknown.

FISH FOR 10000 DESTROYED
Wholesalers Declare They Cannot sail
at Low Prices-Buyers Fear
faint.

New Worthwhile the cost OF living
is mounting steadily and beef is bring
ing Civil war prices, tons of fresh tisn
are being shipped daily from Fulton
market, the headquarters of the New
York fish trade, to be made into fer
tilizer. On some days more than 200
barrels of fish have been destroyed
enough to supply 10000 meals. In
fact for several weeks more fish have
gone to the fertilizer companies than
have been sold to the retail trade In
New York city.
Wholesale dealers say they have to
destroy the fish because the public ap-
parently is afraid to buy at the low
prices. Exceptionally large catches
are reported all the way from Cape
Henry, Va, to Seabright, N. j., and the
supply of fish Is rs per cent. larger
than the average season.
The chief reason that good eating
fish have been destroyed, says state
fnent given out by the market officials,
lis that dealers who place 1t on sale
at low prices cannot sell it. The aver
age man does not know how to judge
the condition of fish, and the only
test of it's quality is the price. 1t is
lower than he has been in the habit of
paying, he is afraid the fish is stale.
He won't buy unless the dealer
charges two or three times what would
be fair price.
Another factor is the belief of many
people in this city that fresh fish can
be obtained only on Friday. They
think what is on the market any other
day is stale or left over. AS fish day
comes only once a week, the retailer
has only one good selling day in the
week, and he has to make larger
profit, so he sells at an advance of from
800 to 500 per cent.
"The public is capricious in anoth-
er respect. 1t has taste for winter
fish in summer, and for summer fish
in winter When fish is in season, the
demand usually shifts for some other
variety that probably is costlier and
poorer in quality"

Japanese Cook Slew Sea Captain Noted
for Brutality After He Is Abused
by His Master.

San Francisco.-Tales Of lawless
ways on ships in the Pacific told by
the fiction writer's are well borne out
by the story that lies behind the de-
tention here on charge of murder Of
S. Okulu, a Japanese, who was cook
on the schooner Americana. He slew
Carl Benson, the captain, on voyage
from Australia. Members of the crew
testified that he was justified and
prominent Japanese here will see that
he is ably defended.
Captain Benson, native of Sweden,
forty-three years old, had reputa-
ton throughout the Pacific of being a
bully. Big and strong and with a
quick temper, he frequently came to
blows with his men, and in the recol-
lection of followers of the sea he never
returned from a voyage without hav-
ing to face charges of brutality. Sew
eral times he has come into this port
with some of his men in irons, and
once both his first and second mates
were so confined.
When he left Puget sound on his
last voyage to Australia Okulu shipped
as cook, and the men who were on
the vessel say that the little Japanese
was efficient in his galley and cour-
teous and peaceful in his dealings
with others. Captain Benson, how.
ever, continually baited him and cast
aspirations on the Japanese, and, an
gered by his non-resistence. physically
illtreated him. When Newcastle was
reached all but two of the crew left

A dissatisfied young man dreamed

There was rubbish on the door, and

Each wanted the others job.
The shipping clerks wanted to cut

the samples wanted to draw the de-
signs.
The designer wanted to be doorkeep-
er so he could get more air. The man
who oiled the machinery wanted to
wash the windows for a change. The
busy messengers wanted to run the
machines. And 50 on.
Suddenly a strong voice called out,

Instead Of complaining each was eager
to do and to help.
