A WINGED CRIMINAL.
One of the Possibilities of the Future
Aerial Navigation.
"In looking over a New York paper
recently I noticed that Edison said
* humanity ought to be ashamed of itself
for not having solved the problem
of aerial navigation," said an observant
citizen; "and I guess Edison must
be right about it. It would seem that an
age of such marvelous achievements
along other lines ought to have solved
this interesting and important problem.
Can't we . do as much as the
birds? But I was thinking of the
many possibilities which are wrapped
.up in this problem, and when we come
to think of it the sudden solution of
the problem, while it would be of great
benefit to humanity, would bring Into
exfstence a fair quota of embarrassments.
It would change the whole as,
pect of the situation in many respects.
vf> . ' There would no doubt be balloon
eloDPments. and hnt nnrsnifs thrrmc-h
the air and "occasionally the fellows
who was making away with sonm
other fellow's girl would find himself
dropping toward the earth at a rather
rapid rate. Or, if he should happen J
H* ' to be on wings, according to some of
the contrivances which have been de- '
bsv - vised, he might lose a few feathers <
and fall just the same.
"But really, there is a more serious !
way of looking at the possibilities o*
jgX the flying machine. Take the criminal
classes?*-for instance. What would
jT hinder the safe blower, the burglar
and tiie murderer from sailing out in- j
?? to the air after the commission of a
desperate offense? If they used balloons
they could simply cut the lines
jp"; - and be gone in a jiffy. If they used
any other appliance the result would
be the same. They would simply float
gp' out into the open air. Policemen
would have to wear balloons, else they
I would nave to oe provided witn win vs.
a rather incongruous thing, when we
come to think of it. Yet a policeman
with wings moy be one of the things
of the future, if inventive genius ever
succeeds in solving the problem of
aerial navigation. There will be no
other way for the minions of the law
to pursue the men who commit all
kinds of acts against the written law.
Many embarrassments might come up.
when we come to think of it. in connection
with the problem of aerial
navigation."?New Orleans TimesItemocrat.

Until the time of Charles II. ther?

a certain play at which the King was
i kept waiting a long time, in spite of
j his frequent remonstrances. At last
j he became angry, and the manager
j was obliged to tell the truth: "An'
j it please you. sire, the Queen is shavi

he spent the rest of the time he was
obliged to wait in laughing merrily.
Pepvs mentions in his Diary that on

J A WILD HORSE DRIVE
! AUSTRALIAN BUSH.! I
t ? *i
^ By Col. John F. Hor.fcs, q I
The waiting stockman had ocarcely j
passed friendly greetings with the j
squad which had l-idden up from Emu j
Creek, wbefi a cloud of black dust \
pushed itself around the bend and i
across the road at the turn, and two i
big horses shot out of it into the !
straight.
"It's a bolt!" shouted 8?ni&.
"No?it's a race. Givfc'm thh vbadl
It's them two chestnuts settling the j
match made up at Cara'iiehael's," cried
others.
. The thuinp, thump, thump on the
level, black prairie indicated the earn- j
estness of the contest, and along came j
the two horses like a physical eyelOrt& I
With a snort and whish they fcfiOt gasl |
the waiting crowd, who mingled a yell j
with the dust as they passed.
The cloud had barely cleared bphihil
them when the chestnut cantered
back and were joined by the incongruous
jumble of hackneys, cobs and piebalds
of all sorts, the mounts of the
stockmen gathered for the brumby
drive, at which half the country side j
was expected.
"What is the ekact ftittire of a
brumby drive?" asked Burnaby, a
newcomer, or one of the older men.
"It's a sort o' rough horse frolic for
us bush coves," the bushman explained
politely, and seeing that the atrnager
did not understand, b<> 'continued:
"Mclntyre's leased the Range from the
gove'nmeat. It's wild crown lands on
th' maps, an' them flats .an' scrubs !s
full o' brumbys, which 're a no-bred I
sort o' wild horses that no Olle don't 1
know how they got here. That ain't j
no matter; they're here, an' the beggera
got to be shifted, or the whole
range's no food f'r stock brecdin'. So
Mac's coin' t'roand 'em up an' drive
1 'em out. That's th' r.ieanin' o' this j
gatherin' o' hands at Carmichael's.
D'ye understand?"
"Are there many to drive out?"
"Many! there're more 'Ah ft thousand
over there ih th' scrub, an' Mac
has th' Japv'lftent contrac* t' scrub up
th' lot. We coves'] 1 make a clean job
'f the Goomburra. Joudaryan, an' Yandilla

them Gumbungee blokes heft? 0; this
drive they'll muster down there too j
with their houn's. an' guns?well, j
there'll be racin', an' shootin', enough |
t' satisfy even 'Old Tipperary.' You j
keep y'r eyes op'n an' y'r mouth shut :
'n you'll have no rows to wettls afterwards."
An hour later the company turned
the southern nose of the mountain and
cantered up to the general meetingplace.
From this, point they circled j
east and west, bending ilOrth. because j
brum by 3 comd tiO\vh out of the hills
to graae toward the creek in the early
morning, and by one they return to

they remain during the parching hours i
of the afternoon sun,
"Now," said McCurdy, whom M?itn- j
tyre had engaged to Command, "let's |

U?k ah' we should yard a good mob j
Out'r that lot if they're down in force, j
It's been pretty dry, and they've got !

th' break they'll make for them hills,
an' th' jig'll bn up f'r a couple o' j
weeks, 'ntil th' scare's out'r them." j
Jollity had ceased; a dead, earnest j
calm settled in its place. The noisy, i
hilarious crowd of an hour hefOrh had !
settled down into a sober, silent phalanx
on business intent. The rollicking
bushman had quieted into the
stolid, fearless frontiersman, ready to
inrow me ana skiii mio a desperate
encounter with a treacherous Foe, for
the Australian wild horse, when pressed,
attacks like a (lemon?rushes,
rears, kicks, bite6 and fights doggedly
vicious when retreat is cut off.
In such a hazardous and rapid conflict
his pursuers who do not come
down or suffer in the encounter must
be daring and accustomed horsemen.
As the line ol mounted men strung
around the base of the mountain to ;
the northeastern extremity, the trained
bush eye could discern a big forest rising
011 the horizon miles away towards
the treeless creek.
'There they are, watering, as I '
said," observed McCuidy, pointing to
the north. Taking his nickel-plated
watch from its leather pocket at his
side en his waiststiap and looking at
it. he continued, "and it's 10:15. Them j
coves'll be in coo-ee in another quar- |
ter. Bail up a minute, mates," the j
leader called to the line behind him.
"I don't see anything." said the |
stranger, withdrawing his tired eye3 I
from the shimmering main, "except j
the lake out there and the forest be- j
yond it."
A burst of iaughter about him I
greeted this observation. '
The merriment was understood by ;
the visitor when a drover said:
"You ain't used t' dry plains much, ;
mate. Old-timers don't hunt water no

looks 'roun' f'r a shad} place t' die in. |
an' leave th'r tfhite uones f'r their
epitaph."
"That white glimmer is not water; j
il is the hot air, and the evaporation ;
from the earth. Look back. It is I
everywhere the same. See?"
"I can see the shadows of the trees ;
reflected in the water beneath them." |
replied the visitor, with the persis- i
ter.ee of a jackaroo and a growing !
suspicion that he was being made a j
butt of by the mischievous stockmen, j
"You see reflections, it is true, but j
those are not trees, and that is not !
water." said Meiotyre. "That decep- j
tion whieh you ar looking at has !
fooled many a new sutv-r. and led j
him on Irolh hope to hope into drier i
i plains with ho chance of. jetting water ;
and finally to die of tliirst. Old hands
like us now know better. What you
see before you is what the books
would call a land mirage, or optical delusion,
and is peculiarly l-naracteristic
of Australia "
Tor- McCurdy drew the crowd back
into its ousiness mood by yelling:
"Coo-ee-ey!"
"Hear *ra, Tom?" asked MetntyrA-.
"Yes; at the enrfteb."
Th? call sounded a^alii and the echo
cam* taudri- along the bluff.
"M'OVo down a stretch, an's soon's

When the nearer heal of the gallopiftg

they threw up their heads,*
McCurdy knew the time had come.
"Giv'm a dash, a whoop, an' ft rOun'=

yell the drivers d&shed Id ti'pbft th?

scattering ftfees to the center.
The startled horse* bunched, huddled
in urtdecideu confusion, made a
mome'dtft'ry stand, a ad then a spasmodic
lunge against the whooping yellers,
who beat against the circling
maze of agitated wild Rnimals to break
the corral, and head out a leader for
a drive forward-.
Buniftby saw a livelier or a
roister piece of work than this reckless
charge and manipulation of an
untamed mob of bush horses by these
daring frontiersmen. Men rode ftrOUild
and fought the fttftppiftg, pawing
brute*, feftoina; hoofs and gnashing
tftftth YrUh their stock butts as though
it were athletic play. Finally, Tom
McCurdy and big Bill Lindsay wedged
into the mass, and kneaded through td
the opposite side, wheft ft fUri'ous stallion
trave them chase.
Tars made an opening. With another
shoving whoop, and the flurry of
the big stallion's chase, and the dogs
nagging at their heels, the diScoilcerted
bunch headed 5Ut after Tom and
the pursuing steed. The riders in the
rear kept up a fearful din of yells,
which, with charges and clubbing,
soon stampeded the lot. toward the
creek.

Carl Fisher rode hi tft? head of the

guided the left, riding wide, in a kind
of a bow, so that the extreme ends
would easily cover the flanks of the
pursued mob, The drive was held
well ill hhftd. ufitil the creeks was
beached-, here they balked and made
trouble. MeCurdy took one ford while
Lindsay took the other. The wild
horses divided also.

So long As this delusion lasted it

strong panels of the narrowing wings
of the muster yard, showed disposition
to jib and contest the! grbuhd; Tiid
forward bites beifig blocked by the increasing
jam, the rear ones were left

in the cdr repairing circles
sometimes as the "doper/' looks out

in the interior of the coaches.
Freight trains ale ihsp^ctSd with
just as hlUch 'cafe as the pdssenger
cbabhSs, but, the wcrk being done upbn
the repair tracks, in an obscure location,
the public practically sees
nothing of it. At some of tne princb
pal repair tracks, oven In cities 0?
not more than 15;DD0 population, ds
tn&fty aS i ?00 and 1500 cars are inspected
every 24 hours, and this by
four men, two working nights and two
days. When a train moves in upon a
. track for an inspection but ft hftlf1 j
minute 1b allowed te eafcB cai\ and sb j
rapid ate ue wdrkiabn that they do
it thoroughly in this time. "Were the
railroads not sure that these men are
perfectly capable of doing the wOrk ;
in the time now allctted, they wOUld, j
of coilrsSi increase the limit) for if
thferb is One department more than ;
another in which the railroads are par- I
ticular about perfect work it is in the
line of proper and ad equate repair^
When ft ifaiH Of curS arrives in the
yards near the repair tracks the repairers
place a blue flag in daytime,
or a olue light at night, at each end
of the train. This warns railroaders
that the inspectors are at work 6h the
train; though they miiy not be visible,
blteh being under the tars. The iocoinbtive
must not be attached when
these blue signals show forth from
the ends of the train. One of the in*
spectors passes over tne tops of the j
cars. - He i-s on the ibbkoUt'fbr a leaky
tbbf) if it be ft bbx car; if it be an ore
br coal car, then he must look out

working about the trucks mUst look

and many other things.
As soon as a defect is found a card
is tacked 033 the car by the inspector.. 1
There are different cards lised to de*
Signhte roiling stbck that is in bad Or*
Qer. One card - dGnotes danger, and
that the cab must be hahuled with Care
Until it is unloaded and placed upon
the repair tracks. Another card denotes
the condition of the air brakes.
The car may be in such shape that it
must go at the rear of the train, and
have no connection with air, or it may
oe that it can bp run between cars
6f air, but that the reservoir of the car
fnust he cut oiit, the air simply passing
through the pipes of the car, without
having any effect as to setting the
brakes upon it Box cars with leaky
rcofs must t>e transferred to some distinct
line of of traffic, such as the earning
of coke.
No one can well doubt that the car
repairers are skilled workmen. They
must be able to discern checks on a
wheel and know that eventually it may
mean a crat-k wnlch will develop into
a broken wheel. A broken wheel, in
turn, may mean a fearful wreck. When
a man begins as a car repairer he must
first work about the repair track with
some one who is experienced, and before
he learns perfectly every part of
the trade Should spend; perhaps, two or
three years; It would seem that these
men would receive big pay, but they
do not get as milch as in many of the
other departments. Western roads, it
is said, pay men more than the eastTt>
oomo TkO r*+ c rvf
tfl iJ 1U1 MHO >> U1 I\. Ill CVliiV pui tkj Vi.
the eastern aid central states they get
but 15 1-2 cents an hour, while the
switchmen of the same locality get in
the neighborhood of 25 cents an hour.
This the repairers believe Is a bit
unjust, and they are now in some sections
of the country asking that their
wages be raised.
Of late there has been a tendency
to change the plan of this work to that
of piecework, but the change has not
yet been in effect .ong enough for the
man to feel just sure how they like
it. By the piecework plan they are
paid a certain scale rate for each
separate bit of work they do. For
example, if there is to be a sill put
into a car the workman is paid the
scale rate for placing sills. The questions
which arise, however, relate to
whether he is to be paid for the extra
work he must do in tearing away
timbers and boifs in a disabled car
prior to putting in the new sill. In
some instances this would require a
long time; in other instances not so
long.
Wrecking crews are usually stationed
at two or three points on a division.
There is usually one large steam
wrecker, with a lifting capacity of 50
tons, and then there will be one or
two hand-wreckers. The men on these
wreckers receive the same wages as
car repairers who work on the repairs
tracks, except that for extra time
the men on the wreckers receive about
20 cents an hour. The average wrecker
carries a crew of 12 men. These,
of course, arc skilled in their particular
line. The modern machinery with
which they work is marvelous in many
lespects. Every one is familiar with
the remarkably short time that is re;
quired to clear a track in this day.
j That which would require but a few
j hours now would have taken several
i days a quarter-century ago.
The average American railroad sysj
tern employs se\eral thousand men
in its repair departments alorc. In.
\ the big shops of the companies the
largest numbers are employed, but
.' even in small cities as high as 125
j men will be kept steadily at work, j
jj Vnese men are capable of building a
car, from the trucks up, with the various
parts that are so extensive sometimes

THE ROMANCE OF A SQUALL
A Tnfthcaf funtalM \V 1: r? T??mnArt a <f*trl
i'ccoine* Her Husband.
The.lre'scue of a young woman from
a capsized sailboat last summer in the
bay by the captain and mate of a Providence
tugboat has resulted in a romantic
wedding. Capt. Warren H.
Brown, now of the toxvboat Gaspee,
was married Saturday night by the
Rev. Charles Dcniield t9 Miss Clara L.
Pickering 8f Edgewb'od. wnb owes her
lift' to the captain's act:
tt was oil the 2d 8! last July. It was
Hither stormy; late iti. the day. with
thunder;, lightning and squalls, and
among the craft that were on the bay
was a slooping yacht, in which a party,
consisting of J. Walter Pickering, Mrs.
Pickering, their two daughters and
Agda Johnson and Ethel Tucker, was
out on a pleasure trip. When they
were off Potter's Cove at Prudence
island, the boat Was struck by a squall
jlild was capsized: Inhere was a small
rowboslt with tlid sailboat, but no oars,
and when the accident came the occupants
had to take to the bottom of the
yacht, as the smaller boat would hold
but three,
The tvdmeil were ih the cabin when
the squall struck them, and it was
necessary to break the windows in order
to get them out. As the boat
would not hold all, and there was a
chance of bringing assistance by reaching
shore, Mr, Pickering, with the two
smaller girls, Miss Tucker and his
youngest daughter. Miss Essi?. stared
for the shore, paddling the boat with
a broom. Tney disappeared in the
darkness, leaving Mrs, riCKering ana
bne daughter and Miss Johnson lying
Upon the boat's side, which was about
18 inches above the surface of the water
for about six feet of her length. For
four hours they lay clinging to the
boat as best they could, with hands
that had been badly cut by the jagged
edges of the cabin windows.
About 10 o'clock the tug Gertrude,
with two barges in town, which had
left Providence early in the evening,
reached the vicinity, and Capt. T. C.
Brown thought he heard a faint cry
for help. He steered toward the sound
and found the women clinging to the
boat. They were nearly exhausted
and probably could not have hold on
more than J5 minutes longer. Capt.
Brown called to his mate, and, bringing
his boat alongside, jumped from
the pilothouse to the deck. A rope
was thrown to the women, but they
were unable to grasp it, and so William
Lawson, a deckhand on the Gertrude,
jumped overboard, and brought
one of the women to the tug, while the
ethers were reached from the deck.
They were taken into the hot hitc'nen
of the tug and given restoratives and
q^changc^ their wet farmc&tf for
6verc6ats And' blankets.

Sabbath Keeping Among Sealers.
The sealing laws prohibit any killing
on Sunday in deference to a sentiment
among a large section of our
people against violating the Sabbath,
but It is not to be supposed from this
that the men enjoy a day of rest.
The following literal extract from the
log of one skipper, written in all innocence,
and published in .the Sf.
Johns paper, sheds a luminous reflex
