GUARDING GOLD AT SEA.
Armor Plate Rooms on Ocean Liners
For Holding Bullion.

Armor Plate Rooms on Ocean Liners
For Holding Bullion.
1t would be natural to suppose that
shipments of gold bullion back and
forth across the Atlantic on big liners
would be attended by considerable pre-
caution, but there Is probably no other
place in the world where the transport
Of great wealth is carried on with such
simplicity.
One Of our great liners has two
strong rooms, the smaller being in
close proximity to the captains quar-
ters, while the otht' is next to the pro-
vision department. The small strong
room has its walls, floor and ceiling
lined with two inch steel plate and
contains nothing In the way OF fur
nishing other than shelves. This has
more than once contained enough gold
to buy the liner many times over.
The locks, which are of the double
variety. are rendered still more secure
by covering the keyholes with steel
hasps. which are themselves locked In
place with massive padlocks. This
strong room. being located in the most
frequented portion of the ship, Is
passed by persons at all hours of the
day and night, which, after all, Is the
great protection.
The strong room located near the
provision department is twelve feet
long by four feet wide, and it often
happens that both these rooms are
filed to capacity with gold bullion
On one occasion the two rooms CON
tanned f20,0000O0 in gold bullion,
packed in small kegs bound with steel
hoops.-Lond0n Answers.

A Man With Marvellous Memory for
Cattle Brands,

In the Interesting People department
of the March American Magazine APP
pears sketch of Lod Calohan wonder
full inspector in the Kansas City stock
wards He examines 100000 cattle a
year and has a marvellous memory Tor
brands, carrying $4,000 Of them in his
head. Following is an extract from the
article:
Remembering faces is big job but
how would you like the job OF remem-
bering cattle brands and how would you
like to nave established the reputation
of knowing more than fifteen thousand
brands, and being 80 familiar with them
that you could watch over two million
cattle every year and save cattle men
thousands of dollars by knowing few
markings
Iod Calohan, Inspector in the stock
yards Of Kansas City, bears this rep
utation, and he lives up to it. 1t is
said that Calohan never forgets COW
brand. He knows the principal brands
OF Montana, Wyoming. Nebraska, Kan
sas. Colorado. New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Arizona. and Texas. When the assoeia-
ton sends him list Of new brands, he
looks it over. folds mp the list and
forgets all about it-but not the brands ;
he tucks them away alongside OF those
other thousands of brands, Tor future
use.
"More than two million cattle pass
by Calohan annually for inspection at
Kansas City, and from three hundred
10 six hundred Of this number he picks
out and returns TO their rightful own
ers. Generally the cattle become as.

looks il up and brings charges against
the 'rustlers
Not only does Calohan recognize the
brand but he can pick out a stray
steer from a bunch Of cattle without
seeing the brand. The action Of the
stray steer give him the clue, aud he
then looks for the brand.
"Calohan has TO remember not only

orio;, Of the Name Automobile

The word automobile comes from
two words. one Greek and the other
Latin. The two words are auto and
mobile The former is derived from
the Greek autos, meaning self, and the
latter from the Latin mobilis, abverb,
movable. This is originally derived
from the Latin verb moveo, movero,
movi. motus, meaning to move. We
are unable to say who first suggested
the name for self propelled vehicles

BIG STORM HAS HURT THE FISHING
ALL ALONG THE COAST OF NEW JERSEY
Sea Game Playing 1t Safe by Going to Great Depths.
Normal Conditions Will Not Be Reached
Before Next Week
By DIR. S. H. LIPsCHUTz

The splendid fishing conditions In surf,
bay and outside along the Jersey coast
and Delaware Bay have been crimped by
strong northeast storm that started to
blow Saturday OF last week. The winds
that shifted around to the northwest early
in the week gave some hopes to the anx-
ious angler. However, Il again turned
and settled down to a heavy northeaster,
that has been steadily increasing, and at
the present time Is raging off the middle
Atlantic States from Cape May to Cape
Hatteras, where IL has reached gale force.
II is almost impossible for the fish to
stand the heavy seas, and they are now
seeking deeper waters and will not touch
the most tempting baits offered.
Even IL It were possible for the present
storm to abate by Sunday, II would be
well for the weekend angler to postpone
his weekly outing for another time. as II
usually takes from 36 to IS hours for
fishing conditions to right themselves
after northeast blow reaching the
severity of the present storm.
Fishing for September promises we'll
as there has been plenty of food of all
varieties, both in the bays and along the
surf.
Market fishermen look for the large
tide runners, that usually make their ap-
pearance after the middle of September.

The heavy gales. which are ideal con-

The fall migration this season started
several weeks earlier than previous sea-
sons, the birds anticipating the coming
blow, and the good shooting promised
last week also received a crimp along
with the fishing.
