can provide. He deliberately stunts
the stature of his manhood,

Rotary Steam
The Royal Lifeboat institution, a
benevolent organization supported
by subscriptions from the charitable
people of Great Britain, maintains
many lifeboat stations on the roasts.
which are the means of saving
of lives every year. In gen-
lifeboats are worked by oars
and sails. In 1891 the institution
caused to be built a steam propelled
lifeboat, worked on the let principle.
That is to say, instead of the
nary screw propeller jets of water
are used to drive the vessel.
The water jets are produced by
means of rotary pumps, and when
the jets are discharged from the
stern the boat is driven forward,
says the Scientific American. The
discharge nozzles are capable of be-
shifted so as to direct the jets
laterally, In which case the vessel
may be turned around or made to
move The first jet-pro
pelted lifeboat proved very useful
and and now the
has added boat worked
on the same principle. The vessel is
named the City of Glasgow. She is
fifty-three feet long, sixteen feet
beam, five and one-half feet deep
Displacement, thirty tons. Besides
coal, provisions, water and crew,
the boat will carry forty passengers.
On each side there are two
gal pumps for working the vessel.
Engines, two-hundred horse power.
Speed, eight miles per hour and
capable of towing another boat at
speed. The vessel is pro
and turned with the utmost
facility without the use of the
although, of course, a rudder is
provided. Going at full speed the
boat may be stopped dead and
started astern in twenty seconds.
A somewhat similar jet boat
named the President Van Heel, has
been built for the Lifeboat
of South Holland is operated
with much success.
We have on several occasions
called the attention of the navy de
to the importance of
our war vessels lifted with jet
pipes and proper connections with
the steam pumps, so that in ease of
need, such as loss of rudder or an
action, this auxiliary means might
be employed to steer, swing or turn
the vessel, as circumstances might
require. We have also suggested.
the inquiry whether additional
pumps and pipes might not be
ranged for connection with the main
engines of the ship, so that in case
of loss of propeller or breakage of
shaft the propulsion of the vessel
might be still maintained.
These suggestions apply not only
to warships, but also to merchant
steamships. The jet system is not
capable of yielding so high a rate of
speed for a ship as the propeller, but
it is a safe and effective method,
especially useful for emergencies.
It would be a simple and
inexpensive matter on all
steamships to arrange jet pipes for
steering purposes in case of rudder
loss.

Nothing in modern times can
equal the virulence tho apparent
exacerbation of the presidential
campaign of 1828, when Andrew
Jackson was formally entered in the
presidential race against John
Quincy Adams. Personal abuse was
rife. Adams, the impeccable, the
frigidly just, was accused of a
of crimes, one of the least of
which was that he acted as procurer
for the czar of Russia. Clay was
branded as an unprincipled
a professional gambler, a lib-
and an accomplice of Aaron
Burr. Jackson was stigmatized as
a murderer, a dueling man-slayer, a
a turf sportsman.

the value of real estate adjacent
to the warehouses three years
ago with what it is now. Four
years ago this year the first to
warehouse was built

bought for twenty seven hundred
dollars a few days ago a party
wanted to purchase one-tenth of
it and the owner said he would
take twenty two hundred fifty
dollars for it, but did not cite to
sell at that price. Now we don't
want to say that the increased
validation of the property is solely
attributable to the tobacco mar-
for there are two other en
prises that have added largely to
the of the property namely;
the with the depot near
this property and Ham

these what else has added to the

Almost without exception the re-
of enormous salaries are
men already wealthy, or at least, en-

The services of Chauncey

a year. Rather than risk
losing this snug annual income Mr.

Henry B. Hyde, president of a
life insurance company, receives a
like amount.
President John A. and
Richard A. both life in-

Among those whose time is worth
an hour yearly, are President
Thomas T. of tho Western
Union, Henry O.

road President Roberts.
Among the ministers of the gospel
Rev. John Hall, of the Fifth Avenue

The presidents of several of the

leader among the new school of
bankers, receives the same amount.
Jay Gould's physician, Dr. Munn,

Where the S -i Gains a Day.
Chatham island, lying off the
coast of New Zealand, in the South
Pacific ocean, is one of the few
points of the globe where the
day changes, it being situated ex-
on the line of demarcation, be-
tween dates. At that place
Sunday, or Sunday noon, ceases
at the striking of the clock, and in-
thereafter it is Monday
noon, or, more exactly, a few sec-
after noon. On that peculiar-
situated island it is possible for a
person to begin his midday meal at
a. m. Sunday, and eat
until Monday without
consuming more than a half hour's
time or making a glutton of himself.

Along in the afternoon, when the
children were growing tired of the
regular routine, and began to be
restless, the teacher decided to let
them march around the room awhile.
She told them all to stand up and
then asked who would like to lead in
the march. The children looked at
each other doubtfully, nobody
being willing to take such
a grave responsibility on his small
shoulders, until finally a sturdy lit-

STOPS THE POWER.
Many Reasons for tho
Shopping of Corn.
A Way In Which Lives May Bo
That Hat Few
Instance In
New York City.
A new possibility in the manner
in which persons may be endangered
trolley cars was developed in New i
York, recently, says the New York
Sun, when a trolley car got half way ;
across tho tracks of the
railroad at the Market street
Crossing and the power suddenly ;
gave out. An express train was
approaching and came within thirty
feet of smashing the car and killing
anybody who may have been in it.
An inquiry as to how such a situ-
could be brought about de-
the fact that the trolley cars
are liable to lose their power at any
instant and from a great number of i
causes. The most likely cause is
from the grounding of the current
caused by a careless
to get ahead too quickly.
If a motor happens not to be
first-class order and it is started too
quickly a ground connection may be
established instantly and all the
that section of the circuit
goes to that one car. Of course, all
the other cars on that section lose
their power are stalled. If one
car is crossing a railroad track just
in of an express train there is
no help for it. This sort of accident
may happen with experienced motor-
men who are very careful. Such Is
the perversity of the trolley car.
Another possibility is that a
graph or telephone wire or any
other kind of wire may swing against ;
a trolley wire. The instant the ;
wires strike the electricity runs ;
away and the power on the section
is gone. Delay from this cause may J
be for a second only or it may be for
a day. It all depends.
Still another danger is in the key
or plug jumping from the switch- j
board in the powerhouse. Plugs
will jump out, sometimes with
BOO and sometimes without. One ;
thing that will make them jump is
the starting of five or six cars on
tho same section at the same mo-
When there is a block on the
road and five or six cars stand in a
line with passengers fuming against
trolley cars in general and the very
one they are in in particular, of
course the crew of the car are
to go ahead at the earliest op-
Sometimes all tho mo-
start at the same time, and
when they do the power leaves them
altogether. If another car on the
section happens to be in front of an
express train there is no help for it.
Sometimes the belt in the power-
house that runs the great dynamo
slips and then tho power is gone.
These are just a very few of the
causes that result in tho trolley be-
coming powerless, and they are
things that cannot be guarded
against by any system of signals.
The Market street crossing of the
Pennsylvania railroad In Newark is
the worst crossing that the
dated Traction company has to deal
with. To avoid accidents there the
railroad company has gates, which
are turned on the approach of
trains. In addition to this
every trolley car must stop be-
fore it reaches the crossing, and the
conductor must run ahead to the
center of the crossing and look in
either direction to make sure that
no train is in sight. The motorman
must not start his car until the con-
signals him to go ahead. All
these precautions go for naught if
the power gives out when the trolley
car is on the crossing. It is
now that tho possibility of
accident may be avoided if the
car stops far enough back from
the crossing to gather speed, after
the safety signal is given, sufficient
to float the car across the tracks.
