'WORLD’S GREATEST RUD‘DER.
Philadelphia Holds the Record for
Mammoth One-Piece Steer-
ing; Gent‘s.
One of the largest. rudders that have
ever been cast in the world has b1‘en fin—
ished by the Fe nusvlvania Steel Cast—
ing company Oi Chester, for the Amen
icnn line steamship Ithynlnnd, now on
Cramps’ drydock undergoing repairs.
The rudder which was cast in a solid
piece, weighed 0'1 er 13. 000 pounds, and
the stern post, which was made at the
same place. 11 emhcd‘.) 000 pounds. fierce
tofore 1"uddeis have been mad-e in two
pieces and afterwzud riveted into a
solid piece; but the Chester company
east without difficulty the rudder in
one solid mass, which experts claim
make mere eflective this necessary part
of the vessel.
The. art. of casting the rudder, says
the Philadelphia. Record. is a trade sc—
cret which not even the British or Ger-
man steel makers have yet been able
to discover. Rudders for foreign—built
vessels are now being shipped from
Chest-er to Europe.
.to Lloyds register of shipping stated
that 110 European workers 01 steel
could have made a rudder the size of
the 11111 nland s in one solid piece. He
also stated that a larger rudder could
have been made if ithnd been necessary .
and the w or]; was an achievement in
steel making which the foreigners have
yet to learn from the Americans
1H 2111th His horse. 1
A Scotch farmer, celebrated in his
neigliborliood for his immense strength
and skill in athletic exercises, very fre—
quently had the pleasure of contending
with people who came to try their
sirength against him. Lord D , a
great pugilistic amateur, went from
London on purpose to fight the athletic
Scot. The latter was working in an en—
closure at a little distance from his
house when the noble lord arrived. Ilis
lordship tied his horse to a tree and ad-
dressed the farmer. “Friend, I have
heard marvelous reports of your skill,
and have come a long way to see which
of us two is the better wrestler. ” The
Scotchman, without answering, seized
the nobleman pitched him Over the
hedge and then set about working
again. 1'17th Lord D got up:
“I’llell,” said the farmer. “have you any-
thing to say to me?” “No,” replied his
lordship, “but perhaps you'd be good
enough to throw me my horse.” .
’I‘cunntless Swiss Prlsons.‘
A correspondent writes from Lau-

and having a population of 10,000, is at
this moment in the proud position of
being able to boast that in the several
prisons in the district there is not a
single prisoner. A white flag floats over
every prison in token of this praise-
worthy fact, and virtue reigns supreme

AS FULL AS A GOAT.
The Iowa‘s Mascot Attends a “make
and Disg‘races the Ameri-.
can Navy.
The goat of the battleship low'a sue-
cumbed to the temptations of shore
leave cur'ly one 1.1‘111'111111r recently, and
was locked up at the city p1ison 011 the
rhargc of "drunk and disorderly." says
! the San Francisco Chronicle.
In company with three or four jack—
ics from the Iowa the goat had been
attending a wake at the undertaking
establishment of- Curcw & English, at
Van Ness avenue and Oak street. In
the course of the evening his conduct
became too boisterous even for a wake.
Officer S. Kain made the arrest, and
one of the Iowa jackies who were the
companions of the goat' s rcvelry went
part way to the station with his dis-
graced friend, and then at thought of
the fun they were all having back at
the wake he said to the goat: "Bill,
old man, I hope you won't think hard
of me if I go back. You’re in good
hands. Just go along. and I’ll join you
after a bit.”
Thus it happened that the convivial
mascot of the warship. 1 tumblingalong
and laleating occasionally some very
unmusical notes, deserted by his mess-
matcs in time of heavy weather, was,
in the words of the mariner, towed into
port with his propeller shaft damaged.
After he woke up he was turned over
to his friends and taken aboard.
Bill's behavior at the wake is de-
scribed as having been something re~
workable. The services in memory of
the dead had lasted through the even-
ing and until two o’clock in the morn-
ing. At that hour it was necessary
to summon the police to insure the
safety of both the living and the dead.
