New idea in Boat Propulsion.

A boat of novel design has been
launched at Vancouver for the Hud-
sons Bay company. The boat is 80
feet over all, with beam of II feet
and four feet depth of hull. A tunnel
is built into the body, giving plenty
Of room for the play of the powerful
propeller, and for the twin rudders
within the lines Of the boat. By this
Ingenious means both propeller and
rudders are protected, and there are
no projections to Interfere with the
phenomenally light draught for so
large craft Of but nine inches with
a maximum of not more than 20 inches
when the boat is fully loaded. When
the propeller turns, the arched cavity
Of the bottom of the boat Is filled with
water, which Is hurled astern with
the force of an hydraulic ram, impart-
ing speed to the vessel Of II miles
an hour.

ADOPTS OLD TRIBAL CUSTOM.

The custom of the savage Indians
to bury all their earthly belongings
with them was recently carried out
in Joplin, when David Lloyd, sixty
five years old, an Indian fighter in
his youth, died and was buried. His
dying request was that the Indian
custom be followed and so into his
casket went razor, a box of shoe
polish, pair of scissors, bar of
soap, a packet of letters, a knife, his
spectacles, a knife sharpener, OK
fords, boots, hose, shirts, trousers,
underwear, pair of gloves and an
alarm clock still running and with
the alarm set for 2 a. m. A suitcase
which wouldn't go in the coffin was
put in a rough box inclosing the cof-
fin.-Joplin News-Herald.

The Savior, bowed beneath his cross,
climbed up the dreary hlI,
And from the agonixing wreath ran many
a crimson rIll:
The cruel Roman thrust him on with
unrelenting hand,
Till. staggering slowly mid the crowd, he
fell upon the sand.
A little bird that warbled near, that
memorable day.
Fitted around and strove TO wrench one
single thorn away;
The cruel spike impaled his breast. and
thus tbs sweetly said,
The Robin has his silver vest Incarnadined
with red.
All. Jesu! Jesul Son Of Man! Ny dolor
and my signs
Reveal the lesson taught-by this winged
Ishmael OF the skies.
l, in the palace Of delight or cavern of
despair,
Have plucked no thorns from thy dear
brow, but planted thousands there!

LIGHTHOUSES PASSING.

The tendency Of shore lines to
show marked changes is the princi-
pal reason for the gradual sup
planting of lighthouses by floating
beacons which can be readily moved
to suit the conditions. In many in
stances these permanent beacons
once built on the very edge Of the
water are now so far inland as to be
almost useless. Light ships are also
better able to weather a severe gale
than the lighthouse. The heaviest
breakers are estimated to strike with
a force equivalent to three and a
half tons to the square foot and con-
sequehtly these towers are likely to-
be undermined sooner or later.

ONIONS FROM ABROAD.

SWEET MUSIC FROM ROCKS
Remarkable instrument the Rocko
phone, Has Compass Of Five
oetaVes-.rraised by Ruskln.

MusicGi instruments have been
made Of all manner of things since
the time when it was said that the
dried sinews of the tortoise
stretched across the she'll gave the
first idea Of the Tyre. Perhaps the
most unusual instrument of modern
times is the rockophone which was
used for many years by family Of
performers known as the Till fam
lily now engaged in church work in
New York. William Till, the orig
inator, found the rocks in the Cum
berland mountains of England. The
rocks are gneiss and hornblende,
and were deposited prior to the in
PRODUCTION of life upon the earth,
possibly q hundred million years
ago. The instrument had a compass
Of five octaves, the rocks being from
six inches to four feet long. Will
liam Till is especially proud of the
fact that John Ruskin thought
enough of the instrument to write:
II congratulate you most heartily
on the wonderful instrument no
less than on the admirable skill Of
execution with which you exhibit its
peculiar qualities. You have given
me q new insight into crystalline
rock substance and also a new mu-
steal pleasure"
The instruments are not for sale,
but there is a small one which Mr..
Till made for the collection of the
Metropolitan museum Of New York.
The rockophone was played after
the manner Of the xylophone and the
selections included a wide range
from Handel to Dvorak and Sousa.

SPLENDID UNDERTAKING.

decided to clean up the old Faimont cemetery, where
the bodies Of many soldiers Of early wars are buried
and TO make that work the posts Amistce day cele-
brahon.
Il would have been hard for the young ex-soldiers
to hit upon a project which would be more warmly
commended by the public bu, is yet unusual enough
to intrigue The magnstons Of the men themselves. and
il is quite possible that if it is organized on broad
enough scale Ibis mopping up ofhe tangIe Of under
brush and weeds on the old buyns ground will be
one Of the notable incidents Of the year in this city,
For years the old cemetery has been an eye sore
and worse, but because ii was the particular duty Of
no one nothing very much was done about ii. From
time to time there has been talk Of clearing the ground
up, but nos,ing worth while ever came Of this Nov
in the name Of the respect which the public owes 10

place there Heintzelman post is going to make a

The young men are going 10 find that they have
cut out for themselves rather large undertaking but
they have the strength and the enthusiasm, and If they
will apply these in the proper way they will put the

place at night and give it such attention as requires
