trained. As it lies on its side across
the street from the power building,
it looks like a section of the New

about twelve feet in the ground, and
superintendent Martin thinks he can
have it working in about three weeks.
Oil will be used under one of the boil

under both. It is calculated that the
saving in fuel will be almost thou

COIN TOOK FANCY OF ARABS
Austrian Maria Theresa Dollar Has
Long Been the Principal Money
of That Region.

The only coin I'm general circulation
IN Abyssinia is the Austrian Maria
Theresa dollar, Of silver. It Is also
the principal money in Arabia, and
the story of fits introduction In those
regions and all the neighborhood OF
the Red sea is quite interesting.
More than a century ago trading
Arabs got hold of some Of these dol
lars and found the effigy Of the queen
(Which they bore on one side, the re-
verse showing the Austrian double
eagle) so attractive that they sought
to obtain more OF them, kcr sale as
jewelry. Later on they became highly
popular as a medium of exchange in
mercantile transactions In Arabia |:
and when at intervals the Turkish
government prohibited their importa-
ton a large and profitable business
was done In smuggling them through
Alden and other seaports.
They are all dated 1850, being even
now minted from replicas OF the orig
inaI die, which is Of rather crude
workmanship. Any change would not
be understood by the Arabs and
Abyssinians and would render them
less acceptable.
Bankers and merchants in the Red
sea region import the Maria Theresa
dollars I'm bulk from Trieste, selling
them at a good profit or exchanging
them for native merchandise. They
are somewhat larger than our silver
dollars, but weigh less than an ounce
and are only a little over four-fifths
silver.

HOW SAILORS clay GHOSTS"
Men Of the Sea Give Short Shrift &c
Matter-of-Fact Spooks That
Annoy Them.

The first lieutenant had just been
relieved, writes 81. s. T." In the Lon
don Mail, and was vending his way
from the destroyer's bridge to his
cabin. II was fairly calm, but very
dark, and there was little to be seen
but a line of waves on each side and
the dim form Of a second destroyer
In station astern. Even for this mo.
1" had no eyes, for he had had a
weary middle watch and bed was his
only interest. But he did notice q
weird figure, apparently human,
crawling about near the "bandstand"
Of the after gun.
He went to investigate and found
the surgeon probationer, clad I'm a
chamois leather overall suit, In which
he had been sleeping ON the ward
room couch below-for every one
must sleep more or less clad, ready to
turn out at a moments notice. He
was feeling about In the dark, ap-
parently in search of something.
"What on earth are you doing,
Door he asked, and got the brief an
swer, Laying a ghost" The first
lieutenant grunted and disappeared
below, leaving the doctor to insert a
paper wedge between a loose rafting
shell and the side of the stand in
which ii was placed.
A ghost, in naval language, Is a
noise which, cannot be accounted for.
In a destroyer one becomes a con-
noiSSeur in noises.
The steering gear clanks heavily at
intervals and the rhythmic beat of the
engines is always there, changing only
when the speed is altered. In heavy
weather the washing and beating of
the water makes a hundred noises.
But ghosts are extra noises and
should be avOidable. Some misplaced
or ill-fltting article or a loose screw
may cause the noise, and with the
ships vibration IT will knock or rattle
with a regular persistency that will
drive the most placid mind nearly to
frenzy. and sleep will rarely be the
victims portion until he has left his
warm bunk and found the cause of
the trouble and the ghost is laid.
