Direct or Alternating Currents.

1t doesn't matter much the how and
why Of the difference between a direct
current and an alternating current if
only you can tell which you are using.
OF course you have to know this be-
cause appliances are made for one or
the other. and no appliance made for
an alternating current can be used
where direct current is supplied. or
vice versa. So to order intelligently
you must either ask somebody who
knows or find out for yourself. Here is
a simple way to tell which is which:
Hold a simple magnet bar near light
ed incandescent lamp. II the current
is alternating the filament-that is, the
part inside the lamp from which the
light emanates-will vibrate: if the cur
rent is direct the flament will be at
tracted or repealed as the positive or
the negative pole Of the magnet is held
near the lamp.-New York Sun.

MARRIAGE ON sHIPBOARD.

The captains of British war vessels
are authorized by law to act as mar

man-of-war on a foreign station, sub
ject to certain prescribed modifica-

Before the passage of the act of 1892
commanding officers of war vessels
and merchantmen celebrated maria ges
on board under an old act. and the
marriage was of necessity confirmed
on arrival at the nearest port by the
British representative there. Where
there was no diplomatic or consular
representative the captain was empow-
cred to act himself as consul and con-
firm his own deed.
In the merchant service of Great
Britain the skipper enjoys even greater
power. He is not obliged to return a
certificate. the only compulsion on him
being the necessity to log" the mar
riage in his official log book where it
may be entered between reports deal

excursion boat.
Every captain of a passenger carry
ing boat has the sinking of the Titanic,
the Slocum disaster and such accidents
on his mind continually. but somehow
it's not the accidents that really occur
that bring gray hairs.
MY first gray hair appeared when

and everything went smoothly enough

Coney. l had heard boat-by her
whistle knew she was towing tug

Even though l could not see the
bow OF my boat | was hanging with
and straining my eyes to see. when my
quartermaster. who was standing on
the very peak of the bow, called for
me to reverse. rang for full speed
astern and threw the wheel hard to
port.
The fog lifted for an instant and
dead ahead of me saw a scow with

that meant she was loaded with dyna-
mite, and the Lord pity us if we ran
her down. kept the wheel hard over.
and it seemed to me the engineer was
an eternity in getting the engine re-
versed. We just grazed the dynamite
scow. l learned afterward that she
had been in tow Of tug and that the
haWser broke and the tug crew had
lost sight Of the scow in the fog.
when got home that night my
wife pointed out a gray hair-the first
bad ever had.
My next bad scare came one Sunday
when | was captain of another excur-
sion steamer. We were at the pier
loading passengers. There were two
hawsers out to the pier. and the one
astern broke. The gangplanks were
out. and. it being a very hot day, peo-
pie were 1ocking aboard. There were
at least seventy-fve persons on the two
gangplanks when the hawser broke
and the boat commenced to drift from
the pier. l yelled. and the crew tried
to force the passengers off the gang
planks, but those in the rear kept push

There was only one thing to do.

dock and held her there. but that bow
hawser was an old one. and if it broke
the boat would back away and dump
every one on the gangplanks into the
river
ITO me it seemed like an age, but it
was really not more than a minute un.
til they had another line out astern and
l could stop the engine. That caused
several gray hairs.

INDIANS RECEIVE LIQUOR
Offender Pleads Guilty After Being
Recognized By Indians.

Charged with selling liquor to the
Indians, Frank Collins was tried be-
fore Judge Crowell this morning and
was bound over to the grand jury.
The local police picked up two Indians
yesterday who were intoxicated and
who had a small bottle of whisky in
their possession. Collins was also
picked up and the Indians immediate
ly recognized him as the one from
whom they had obtained the whisky.
This is not the first case brought
before Judge Crowell during the past
month and If the practice does not
cease there will be a few more
brought up. The local police force
have done some good work along this
line and are doing much toward pre-
venting the increasing sale to In
dams.
