The Steamers of the Mississippi
River as They Are.
——_—.——-.—_
Most of Them Are Chbap and Filthy Look-
ing, Flimsily Constructed and Alto-
gather Disappointing to the
‘ Eastern Eye.
The . Mississippi steamboat is a
glorious craft in history and fiction,
but the reality is rather disappointing.
To the eastern eye she looks decidedly
topheavy, extremely cheap and un-'
speakably dirty. The average western
river craft looks like a dwelling' 1n
shanty-town at the end of a hard win-
tcr. There is neither grace nor power
-in her lines. She is both broken-
backed and hump-backed, if those ex-
pressi s are allowable without mix-
ing in taphores.
The hull of the Mississippi boat of
ordinary size is built very lightly. She
is flat-bottomed and draws little over
a. foot of water. Her guards are only
a few feet above the water’s edge. Her
upper works consist of two or more
stories, built on the general plan of
the picnic barge architecture. The
main cabins of the big New Orleans
liners are long and tawdrily decorated
with cheap paint. The whole con-
str'uction ' is one which wouldl‘flbe
knocked into a cOcked hat in thirty
minutes if it ventured out to the Sandy
Hook lightship, or if it even tried to
go up Long Island sound on arough
night. -
The machinery of' the western river
craft is especially ungainly to the east-
ern eye. The great majority of boats
have one great paddle-wheel at the
stei 11, after the manner of the humble
wheel-ban ow. Others, principally the
ferry and harbor boats, have one big
wheel mouutclin the center of the
boat and housed‘ in. These two con-
structions me both designed to avoid
the enormous logs of floating drift-
wood which dot the surface of the
river after each rise of the water level.
Some of the cheaper excursion boats
have paddle-wheels at the sides, but
they frequently have to slow down
when approaching the more than
usually dense section of this inland
Saragossa sea; or lose half the buckets
on their paddle-Wheels.
'When the boats have side paddle-
wheels they are mounted on short
shafts and operated by individual on-
gines, so that when thc‘skipper, in
maneuvering his boat, can back one
wheel and go ahead with the other,
swinging. the craft on its axis. The en-
gines are high pressure, with long
wooden connectingvrods, and curiously
constructed? valve gear Each engine
hasits engineer and separate system
of signal bells. The boilers are on the
main deck, elevated on legs like a
Dutch oven. Soft coal is burned ex»
clusively, and there are long, narrow
shectiron smokestacks, with more or
less gaudy decorations, from the top
of which dense volumes of black smoke
are continually rolling. The boats are
slow. One that makes eleven miles an
hour is considered a clipper.
The cost of operation is small, as can
be seen from the fact that the trip
fiom St. Louis to New Orleans and re-
turn, occupying nearly two weeks,
costs the traveler only about twenty
dollars for fare, meals and berth. The
run from St. Louis to St. Paul and re-
turn, occupying a week or more, can
be made for twelve dollars. Freight
cars loaded with coal are frequently
run on to floats and towed from Pitts-
burgh down the Ohio and up the Mis-
sissippi to St. Louis for less cost than
they could be sent over the rails. ——N.

THE KING AND HIS RELICS..
Bones of the Saints Kissed and Worshlped
by Philip 111.
To strengthen himself before an ab-
scess was to be opened, Philip III. or-
«.lcrcd various relics to be brought
to him, with all ecclesiastical pomp;
his own confessor. with his sons and
Friar Fray Garcia :~' 111 no. Maria. dressed
in stoles and whi nurplices accom-
panying them One brought the knee
with the bone and skin on it of St. Se—
bastion; anothei a. rib of St. Alban,
’ HARD _ LOOKING BOATS;
11 hich had been sent by Pope Clement ’
VII I., withna plenary indulgence, and
one also to the effect that any priest
saying mass in the Escurial on any
altar as many times as he desired,
should bring a. soul out of purgatory.
The third p1 iest carried the arm of St.
Vincent Ferrer.
Each monk repeated the antiphone
and ovation of the saint whose relic he
carried, and then delivered a short ser-
men on the saint; and the king kissing
the relics asked that they should be
laid on his bed. This being .done,
Philip, with the rib and arm and knee
of the departed saints resting on- his
body, professed himself to be now
quite coutented and easy in his mind.
Indeedl, such a. pleasing effect did
these relics have on the king that Fray
Martin de Villanueva, who had them in
charge, made up an altar before the
royal sufferer with a. large number of
relics, and it was his wont to bring
them to Philip, who would kiss and
worship them, and beg... that they
should ube laid on his ~sores. It was
[probably at this time that he Ordered
a skull to be placed on the altar, the .
grinning effigy by, his command being
garlandod with a golden crown.
One day, says Siguenza, Fray Martin

ly emblems; one by one he took them to
the king. and his majesty was insistent
on each and every one being brought
to him. But his chief solace was what
the chronicler describes as‘a piece of,
the cross imbedded in a large silver
gilt crucifix of antique workmanship.
This he would hardly permit to be out
of his sight. ——-Temple Bar.

the whereabouts of the buried treasure
a. mystery. Yesterday three strange
men- visited the place, which is now
owned by John Findley, and said that
as one of them was an adept in the use
'of the hazel switch, with which to lo-
cate streams of water, gold and silver,
they desired to search for the missing
treasure, Findley to pay for all cost of
the search and all to share in the pro-
ceeds. Findley laughed at them, and
told them that they were free to dig
and keep all the gold they could find.
They went to the spot whom the two
old chimneys, all that remained of the
decayed Cornelius mansion, stand, and
dug all that day without avail, but dur-
ing last night, Findley found upon in-
vestigation this morning, the strangers
returned, and at the bottom of a fresh
hole they had dug was found, carefully
covered up, a rusty old pot dug in the
ground. The contents of the pot were
missing, but a. note left by the men
said they had secured the treasure by
the hazel switches’ use and had kept it,
according to Findley’s permission.
PREHISTORIC REPTILES.
Lecture by Prof. Elliot on Monsters of the
_ .IVorld’s Infancy.
Prof. D. G. Eliot, F. R. S., curator of
zoology in the Field Columbian mu-
seum, lately delivered at Field museum
the first of a series of three lectures on
“Giants of Other Days, as Revealed in
the Zoology of the Past.” His subject,
says the Chicago Tribune. was “Rep-
tiles.” “Strange as appear to us now
the tales of the Arabian Nights
and the genii of the first fathers,” he
began, “they are not more startling
than the creatures which actually ex-
isted before man walked the cart .”
The first creature a photograph of
whose reconstruction was projected
upon the canvas was a fish of the azoic
period, measuring from twenty to forty
feet in length, without scales, and hav-
ing two pairs of paddles like a. whalc‘s
flippers. It had two arms and five tin-
gers to each hand. Its young were
born, not hatched. Its snout was im-
mense, and tapered to the slenderness
of a needle. It had the teeth of a croc-
odile and the vertebrae of a fish. Its
deadly enemy was the ichthyosaurus
platyodon, which resembled a huge
turtle, measuring from forty to seventy-
five feet in length and having a jaw
like acrocodile; Dragons and flying
serpents were interestingly displayed,
and one creature was represented hav-
ing two sets of brains, one in the
sacrum controlling , the posterior por-
tion of the body. .43-
PNEUMATIC-SKULL CAP.
You May Blow It Up and It Will Form a.
Pillow.
The pneumatic tire system has been
applied to an sorts of things lately. A
traveling cap, for instance, has just
been brought out which is' nothing.
more than a pneumatic tire adapted.- to
the purposes of headgear. It is an or-
dinary cap, to all appearance, and
would not excite too much attention
in a railway carriage or on the plat-
form of a station, but when filled with
weary traveler can rest his head against
the side of the carriage and sleep in
peace. Another adaptation is to the
rollers of washing and finishing ma-
chines. So far, whether of wood, iron,
or even india rubber. these are deficient
in elasticity, and the latest idea is to
wind a spiral indie-rubber tubing
around the two cylinders of the wash-
ing machine throughout the whole
length of their surface.
these tubes can be attached to an air-
pump, by which means they can be so
filled with air that uniform and regu—
latedx, pressure can be put on the goods
passing through the cylinders. Sar-
fert, the inventor of t‘ 115 system. claims
that the flattening of the tubes at the
point of contact gives a rubbing action
between the india rubber and the stuff,
which allows the cleaning of the fabric
to be done. me. third of the time 'nec-

Nasby’s Accommodating Lecture.
R. Locke, better known as “Rev. Pe-
troleum Vesuvius Nasby,” had a device
by which he saved time and brain. He
himself once confessed to us, says the
New iYork Sun, that when a lyceum
committee from any place called upon
him to engage his services, and asked
ways told them to take their choice:
’ “Cursed Be Canaan," “Moses in the
Bulrushes,‘ ’ “Wisdom for Seekers, ” and
“Our Country 5 Hope.” ‘ But,” said
Nasby, confidentially, “I had only one
lecture all the time; and whatever title
they liked best. they got the same old
thing; it suited any title, every place
and all occasions.”

The German emperor is a master of
little surprises quite other than those
which occasionally fetch his troops out

they least expect it. While at Low-

portunity afforded by the absence of
Lord Lonsdale to unpack a. very fine
marble bust of himself and put it' m a.
