Approximately 600 steers were loaded at the local stock pens on Thursday under contract made sev- eral weeks ago in this district by Cook & Johnson. The original ar engagements were made to ship from Clifton on Nov. 10th but inability to secure cars delayed the shipment un- tli this month. Some cattle which had been gathered for the November shipment were turned back on the range which accounts to some eX- tent for the small number shipped yesterday. In addition the buyers cut the gathered steers from 40 to 60 per cent.

Already the plan has been tested and

have seemed insurmountable.
fhat success is assured is pointed

can sail without regard to the fog.
With the wireless working, collisions

The man who was instrumental in
bringing the OropeSsa into port that
day was William +. Dixon, electri-
cian. first class. of the Navy. Not
only the Oropessa, bur thirty-four
other vessels were radioed into this
port that day. Seated before his
charts and wireless instruments in
the old ferry building at the Battery,
Dixon cuddled his ships as mother
duck would her ducklings across a
pond. Each vessel. in turn. was fur
nished her exact position on the chart
and in no case was Dixon many yards
out of the way. AS evidence of his
accuracy, he charted a course for the
Oropessa whereby she passed Am

yards.
The only present bar to wireless

Dixon today, lis the fact that very

There is, of course. also the fact
that when a vessel is clear of the
coast couple of hundred miles she
has plenty of sea room and absolute
accuracy of reckoning. which, while
highly desirable, is not entirely nee
essary. It is when the off f-shore cur

and Mantoloking. Each figures the
position of the vesse, with which it
is in communication and which de-
sires information by means of the
strength of her wireless call. Each
station plots the position on the chart
as determined by them from the call.
This information then is wirelessed
to Dixon here. 1t then becomes a
simple mathematical problem for
Dixon, or the other chief on duty, to
plot on his charts the exact latitude
and longitude of the inquiring ves-
sci. This obtained, he wirelesses the
information to the navigating officer
on the bridge of the waiting ship
In thus working out the position
atmospheric and all other conditions
are taken into consideration. If the
station men have any doubts they
talk directly to the ship and get any
needed information concerning the
strength of her wireless. But in
general the plan works out about on
the line by which gun spoilers work.
Dixon has brought ships in from a
point 200 miles off shore, although
the usual distance is under 100 miles.

A Habit With Than

George Ade was being told by an admirer just how wonderful that ad- mirer thought authors were, and he responded by telling a story.
 You remind me-" he said, "of the time right after the appearance of my first book when I went to spend a week at summer resort outside of Chicago. The landlord of the hotel said to me:
 "'Mr. Ade, you are a literary man, l believe.'
 'I blushed and smiled and answered that I had written a few trifies.
 "I have several literary men stop ping here,' said he. like literary men,
 "'Well,' said I, I am glad of that
 "'Yes' said he. I like literary men. They never object to paying in ad- vance. They're used to it.'"-Phila- delphia Public Ledger.

To Sell Forgotten Pictures.

Copies of the masterpieces of the Louvre made by unknown or struggling artists and long stored in the basement of the museum are to be sold.
 Most of the copies have been in stor- age for more than thirty years, aban- doned and forgotten by those 'who painted them. Some tell stories of ambitious beginnings and discouraged endings. Many copies are but half finished, while still others are but dabs of paint.
 Many American names appear in the corners of these pictures of students who have long since left Paris.
 A majority of the names are impos- sible to read, but a few. have been dis covered of men and women recog- nized in the world of art today. For obvious reasons, the youthful efforts of these are not to be exposed with the names apparent. y- ..
 The lovers of art have been invited to come and see these unique pictures and to buy them at their own prices, so that the basement may be cleared for another batch of abandoned efforts.

Swiss Santa Rings Bell.

In the quaint little town of St. Gall len, Switzerland, which has retained many of it's curious medieval customs, Santa Claus makes his visits ringing n gigantic cowbell says Popular Science Magazine.
 In St. Gallen, every Christmas eve twelve men array themselves in white trousers and shirts, embroidered wool suspenders, and bright red ties. Each one fastens an enormous cowbell on to 6 wide leather belt, and covers his head with an enormous mask of card board, the upper part of which is decorated by stenciled designs.
 One of the twelve is called "Sani- chlaus." It Is his duty to give the good children presents. The other eleven remain at a little distance on the out skirts of the jolly crowd that follows them on their rounds, giving candy to the grownups and entertaining every body with their clowning.

In Anchored Nuts on an Island.

Three hundred> miles from the east ern coast of Queensland there Is an islet with a coral reef fringing it on three sides. On this small dot of the Pacific, Willis island, an important wireless experiment is being conducted in the interests of meteorology and shipping. Capt. J. K. Davis, common wealth director of navigation, is spending five months on this island with a wireless plant and two opera tors and they will not be relieved un- til next April. The island is swept by storms and the huts erected on 1t have been %anchored" with chains, so that they will float if the island Is temporarily under water. The cost of this experiment is estimated at about f6,OOO.

Making the Hammer Safer.

The hammer is a useful tool, but it's use is not quite free from danger to the user or from injury to materials. The flat, highly polished surface is likely to glance off the hail unless the blow is squarely delivered; and when the nail is of cast metal, its head often flies off and infiicts quite severe injuries.
 One firm had innumerable accidents from this cause, and some of the men were permanently injured. Thereupon, the managers tried hammer heads with scored faces as an experiment., and owing to the success of the. experi- ment, the polished faced hammer has been abolished in that firms factory, except for special classes of work.
 When the hammers face is scored or roughened 1t is very much less likely to glance off the nail head. The fact that this type of hammer has proved so conspicuously successful and safe, has encouraged many manufac- turers to place it on the market.

A loaf of bread more than 800 years old, it is said, is to be found at Ambas- ton, in Derbyshire, England. It was included in a grant of land from the crown in the reign of King John, and has remained in the Soar family ever since.
 Almost as great a a'curiosity as this is a house HOO years of age, and yet fit for habftatfon. This old dwelling, the oldest inhabited house in England, was built in the time of King Offa' of Mercia. It is octagonal in shape, the walls of its lower story being of great thickness. The upper part is of oak. At one time the house was fortified and known by the name of St. Ger mans Gate. It stands close, to the River Yer, and only few yards from St. Albans abbey.
