Taking A Sword&s-u
terrible struggle with ax air-tight
BAF.REIi ATTACHED TO A HARPOON".
It was some time before we could dis
tinguish the speck, rising and falling
with the sea, which had attracted the
old whaleman s attention. Soonhe pro
nouncad it a ".fish," and after putting us
on the tack to run down partly to lee
ward of it, went below to bring up the
irons. When we had worked perhaps a
mile the skipper took the wheel to "keep
her head on if yer can," and the one
who held the air-tight barrel was told
"When y're sure I've struck, over with
it."
He was as cool as a cucumber as he
took the harpoon and cutting spade for
ward, coiling the line (one end of which
was fast to the harpoon, the other to the
barrel) carefully on deck, with the cau
tion : "Ware when it flakes out," and
taking only enough with him to his roost
on the bowsprit end to give him ample
elbow room. His station reached, he
fixed the spade in the suppoit ready to
receive it, laid the iron in front of him
across the cage, waived his hand, and we
filled awav. close hauled. Is ever was a
mile more slowly sailed by the little
croup in the pit of the White Cloud
Never had our hearts beaten faster than
ai we neared the fifteen foot fish, rolling,
a3leep, in the trough of the sea. Now
the not is almost over him ; slowly he
raises the iron, braces himself, and hurls
it with all the strength of both sinewy
arms. The iron sinks uecply into the
sleeping fish; there is a mighty surge,
the line flakes overboard as quickly as
thought, the lloat silashes as it disap
pears beneath the water, then all is still
Wo luff and wait. Presently up bobs
the lloat. The fish, finding the strain of
tho air-tight barrel too severe, is coming
to the surface. Now the watei bubbles
and boils just under our lee, and the
swordfish breeches half his length out
of his element, shakes himself savagely,
and s vvimsat lightning speed for tho bar
rel. He strikes it again and again with
his sword, but it rests so lightly on toi
of the water that he cannot injure it
Then he stops, looks at us an instant,
and darts toward the boat. We have not
time to bring her head around, and if he
strikes it will be amidships. The pilot
comes quickly aft, brings his long-hand
led, threo-cornered spade, and, as the
fish comes within striking distance, aims
one swift, unerring blow full at its fore
head. The terrible sword drops harm
less the upper muscles at its base aro
severed, and he passes under us, jarring
the boat and splashing us with water as
he sounds.
Again tho float goes under and is out
of sight a longer time then before.
Again the fish throws himself out of wa
ter, showing his sword hanging down at
an angle of forty-five degrees. He
swims once or twice around the barrel,
then starts to windward at too furious a
speed to last with the float ploughing be
hind him. When we beat up ho is fee
bly fighting it. He sounds for a short
time, but comes up exhuasted. Onco or
twice he rolls over on his side, but re
covers himself and swims on in short
tacks. We pres3 him too closely, and
he charges us again, but we make no
efforts to avoid him knowing that now
he is powerless to injure us, nor does ho
try to strike, apparently realizing that
his weapon is useless, but goes under,
coming up on the other side.
And so he sounds and swims, fights
and runs, until at last he succumbs to
exhaustion and 1:63 still. We work up
alongside, aud cs we luff, tho pilot puts a
lance into his very life. There is a shud
der along his whole body, his fins work
convulsively a moment and then he lies
motionless and dead. We rig a tack to
our mainmast, and after considerable
labor get hira aboard, where we can ex
amine at our leisure his peculiar shape,
and admire his graceful "clipper build."
Our Nar.tucketer estimated his weight
at between 500 and GOO pounds. His
sword is over three feet in length, its
broken joint and nicked edges proving
its owner was an old as well as a fight
ing fish.
Our fish is on board and after reserving
afewcaoice cuts, turned it over to cur
pilot, who asked that he may dispose of
him before he sjioils. And so we set
gaff and jib topsails, haul off before the
wind, and lay our course northward.

Dean Swift as a Scientific Prophet.
The Journal of Chemistry has received
the following note from Dr. llobert lley
burn.of Washington, D. C. : "In the
recent accounts of the discovery of the
satellites of Mars, we have not seen any
reference to tho curious fact of the an
nouncement of their existence by Dean
Swift in his celebrated satire of 'A Voy
age to Laputa, published in 172t. It
may be found in the third chapter of
this work, and reads as follows: 'They
have likewise discovered two lesser stars
or saielities which revolve about Mars,
whereof the innermost is distant from
tho center of the primary planet exactly
three of his diameters, and tho outmost
five; the former revolves in the space of
10 hours, and tho latter in 21, so that
the squares of their periodical times are
very near in the same proportion with
the cubes of their distance from the cen
ter of Mars, which evidently shows them
to bo governed by tho same law of gra
vitation that influences the other heaven
ly bodies.' " This was expressly written
to cast ridicule upon the astronomers of
his day, and now about 150 years after
wards it becomes numbered among the
established facts of science.
Anecdote of Danihl Wehster.
During one of the college vacations Dan
iel and his brother returned to their
father's, in Salisbury. Thinking he had
a right to some return for the money he
had expended on their education, the
father put scythes into their hands and
ordered them to mow. Daniel made a
few sweeps, and then resting his scythe
wiped the sweat from his brow. His
father said "What's the matter, Dan ?"
"My scythe don't hang right, sir," he
answered. His father fixed it, and Dan
went to work again, but with no better
success. Something was the matter with
the scythe, and it was not long before it
wanted fixing again, and the father said
in a pet: "Well, hang it to suit your
self." Daniel, with great composure,
hung it in the next tree and retired.

Fivo Pious Ghosts.
extraordinary apparition in a north
west territory mission chapel.
Toronto. November 5. The Hudson
Bay Company's steamer Otter, from
Fort Wrangle, MetlaKatun ana xori,
Simpson, brings word to Victoria of an
extraordinary apparition which has
startled not only tne muiauj
white missionaries at Metlakatlah. The
mission there was started fourteen years
ago by Mr. William Duncan, under the
auspices of the Church Mission Society
of England. The village has a popula
tion of 800 souls, belonging to the
Tsimshaen nation of tho Pacific Indians.
Situated north of the fifty-fourth paral
lel, the spot is not an attractive one, an
Arctic climate prevailing the year round.
The Tsimshaens not long ago were pa
gans and cannibals, offering human sac
rifices and eating human flesh at their
medicine feasts. Mr. Duncan is assisted
by llev. Mr. Collinson and Rev. Mr.
Hall, the former taking charge of the
Indians on the Queen Charlotte and ad
jacent islands. During his visit to this
coast in the Fall of last year, Lord Duf
ferir. visited the mission, which was
described at some length by the corre
spondent of the World who accompanied
the vice-regal party.
The story told by the officers of the
Otter, on the authority of Mr. Hall, is
as follows; Last Sunday night week
KAvornl Indians entered the Mission
Church to pray. While engaged at
their devotions a bright light arose at
the altar and soon spread over the
whole chancel. Presently five figures
clad in long white gowns appeared in
the chancel and knelt at the altar as if
praying. The Indians left the church
and" gazed awestruck upon the specta
cle. Among others Mr. Hall saw the
wonderful apparitions, which soon af
terward faded away. Mr. Hall at once
opened a prayer meeting. The whole
settlement attended, and much religious
fervor was manifested and since contin
ued, prayer meetings being held at all
hours of the day and night, and the
spirit of revival holds full away over the
village. Messengers have left Metlakat
lah for the surrounding tribes to relate
the extraordinary manifestations, and
the revival i3 spreading rapidly up and
down tho coast.
The officers of the Otter add that Mr.
Hall also told his story to the officers
of the United States revenue cutter Oli
ver Woolcot, which was cruising on the
northwest coast of British Columbia.
Hall was asked bluntly if he had played
a trick on tho savages to induce them to
i!rpk- tr fho revival services. Ho an
swered indignantly that he never trifled
with the Indians in that manner, and
said that he was ready and willing to
make oath to the facts. Mr. Duncan
and Mr. Collinson were absent at the
time, but the latter's wife; a refined
English lady, was a witness to the
sight. " Mr. Hall, it maybe added, is an
earnest and faithful missionary, who
came to this country from England a
year ago. He is a young man of 30, of
iron nerve and great determination, and
a superior scholar. Mr. Duncan, the
chief of the mission, has been asked to
inquire into the matter.
A Story of Flip-Days. The old
Abercrombio House, at Pelham, Mass.,
is said to havo been tho scene of a prac
tical joke by the Rev. Mr. Abercrom
bie, the original occupant of the house
and minister of the town. In his days,
of course, flip was the common bever
age of the clergymen and the laity, and
no objection was made, unless people
became notoriously over-indulgent.
The charge was finally brought at a
church-meeting that the "minister was
drinking too freely, and a committee
was appointed to tell him of his fault
and warn him of the danger of contin
uing in it. Warned of their coming
the erring pastor told his wife to pre
pare the first round of flip, which even
this committee would expect, with
equal part? of rum and water, the next
with more rum, and the next mostly
rum. The committee, soon after their
arrival, partook of the flip which their
pastor ordered, aftsr which they made
known the nature of their errand, lhe
pastor admitted that there raiclit be
need of the reproof, and that ho should
be governed by it. Then came the
second round of flip, and. as the busi
ness had been dispatched, the commit
tee were disposed to be talkative and
social with the pastor who had so hum
bly admitted his sin at their rebuke
The flip came around the third time,
and, it is said, near sunrise tho next
morning two of the committee man
aged to reach their homes; but the
third lay prone upon tho floor, unable
to stir from the effects of the flip until
broad daylight. At tho adjourned
church meeting, when this committee
made their report, it is said they made
a very concise report of their visit to the
pastor and the kindly way in which he
received tho reproof by reporting
" We have called on the pastor, as di
rected, and he has given us Christian
satisfaction."

"Settingly, sir," replies the waiter
promptly, and yells to the cook, "Part

The inspector finishes his dinner lei

the boss to step this way a minute."
"What for?"
"I wish to notify him to appear in
court to-morrow and answer for selling
partridge out of season."
"O, I guess it ain't worth while both

Cardinal Biakio Sfokza. The late
Cardinal Itiario Sforza died poor,
though he had been rich. During the
European visitation of cholera in 1S54,
he was a lavish giver of food, money
and medicine to the sufferers whom he
succored in person, and when he had
spent all his money, sold his plate to
obtain f nnds to carry on the good work.
These expended, he called on a rich
Catholic of Naples to borrow 50,000
francs,-but he, a very practical, if a
pious man. declined to lend the money.
"Very well," said the Cardinal, "if
Christians won't help me, Jews will,"
and he went to the Rothschilds, who
promptly advanced him the money
without interest or security or even
promise of repayment.

HOW SCIENCE HAS BEEN ADAPTED TO
TIIE USE AND COMFORT OF HOUSES.
There are some businesses in this city,
as well as elsewhere, which, although apparent
ly of an unpretentious character, perform im
portant scientific work and confer great benefits.
Among them is the horse-shoeing establishment
of Dnnnigan fc O'Dea, at 133 Post street, which
is patronized by tho owners of the most cele
brated blooded stock on tho Pacific coast, be
cause of the perfect svstem that is adopted there
of making aud putting shoes on horses. The
members of this firm have carefully studied the
full requirements of horses in tho matter of
shoes, and, after obtaining a thorough knowl
edgo of tha styles rf horseshoes wliich have
been manufactured in this and other cities, de
signed an improved appliance for the feet of
horses which never gives pain and assists the
animals in speed and work. Tho advantages
conferred by this splendid shoe are now fully
recognized throughout the Pacific coast, and the
consequence is that, for a lang time past, Dun
nigan & O'Dea have boen patronized by nearly
every owner of trotters and racers that hive
made a record here. At the shop there are al
ways some famous horses on hand for shoeing,
and when we visited the place .Flood's magnifi
cent team and Hickok's superb horse St. Julian
were being operated upon. As usual, thero was
a large crowd of onlookers at the il wr. and the
dexterity with which tho work wad done was
greatly "admired. Tho work, however, was in
no way superior to what is always done by U.omo
scientific farriers, and all parties who have
horses to shoe should mako it a point to take
the animals there. The benefits derived will
be found of the most positive character. S. F.

Water Pipe.
While the attention of the people of thin coast is
attracted to the question of obtaining a proper and
sufficient supply of water, not only for domestic
and manufacturing purposes, but for use in irrigat
ing the soil, it is but right that some attention
should be paid to the proper means of conducting
the water, when found, to the spot where it is to be
put in use. It is well known that for many years
iron pipes were supposed to be the only safe aud
proper conduits through which either water or gas
could be safely conducted, but science and time
has demonstrated beyond a doubt that pipe made
of a combination of wood, iron and asphaltum, is
not only cheaper, but far better and more durable.
Nearly twenty years ago the manufacture of this
pipe was commenced in the city of Elmira, New
York, and miles of it laid of both water and gas,
where it is, to-day, as sound as when first put into
the ground. In several of the streets where 3 and
4 inch mains have, after eighteen years' use, been
found insufficient for the increased population,
and been taken up to be replaced with larger pipe,
not a sign of decay has been visible.
Mr. George M. Divin, formerly managing direc
tor of the Erie Kailway Company, and one of the
principal owners in the Elmira Water Company,
and M. S. Benjamin, President, unite in a letter
containing these words:
"The Wyckoff Combination Pipe is as sound after
sixteen- years use as it was the day it was laid. We
can imagine no reason why this pipe will not last a
hundred years as well."
From scores of cities and towns just as strong
endorsements have been voluntarily given. Mr.
John Brawley Superintendent Hollydaysburg
Water Works, Pa., writes; We have had it in use
under 170 feet pressure for sixteen years, and find
it perfectly sound." From Lockport, New York;
Augusta, Maine; Bellaire, Ohio; Saginaw, Michi
gan; Bamapo, New York; Centralia, Pennsylvania;
Chicago, Illinois; Salt Lake; the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, and twelve other principal
railroad companies in the East, the most convinc
ing testimonials have been received, attesting the
durability, strength and purity of this pipe, which
will be sent to any address upon application.
The right to make this pipe Is enjoyed by two
companies only in the United States.
In its issue of October 24tb, the San Francisco
Journal of Commerce, in a very lengthy article,
npon the subject of Water Pipes, has the following:
In March last an organization styled the American
Pipe Company, with a capital of $250,000, was es
tablished in this city for the purpose of manufact
uring this pipe and thoroughly introducing it to
the people of this coast and the territories. The
officers of this company are Robert O. Byxbee, ol
the firm of II. B. Tichenor k Co., President; John
E. Chalfant, formerly of the Mendocino Lumber
Co., Vice President; John F. Byxbee, of the Dun
can Mills Lumber Co., Secretary and Treasurer;
Calvert Meade, Auditor; Col. Cook Talcott.of thirty
years experience as a civil and hydraulic engineer.
Chief Engineer: P. T. Dickinson, who has been
for the last twenty years connected with the manu
facture of this pipe. General Manager. On the
organization of the company a mill was started at
Olympia, Puget Sound, W. T., where the lumber is
prepared, when it is brought to this city and taken
to the factory of the company, on Channel street
near Fourth, where it is finished ready for use.
Some fifty or sixty men are employed at both
places. The manner of making this pipe is pecu
culiar. It is made in sections of eight feet Jong.
It is first bored, and then turned in a lathe to a
uniform thickness of shell, removing all the sap,
and steamed thoroughly to avoid any possibility
of checking or tasting the water. One eud of each
piece has a tenon of about 3 X inches, and the other
is mortised to fit it closely. The swelling of this
tenon, when driven home, makes a perfectly tight
joint. The pipe is now ready for banding. This
is done by winding the iron spirally around it, of a
thickness and at intervals required by the pressure
to be sustained by the pipe, aDd then the entire
pipe and iron are thickly coated with asphaltum,
producing a condition best calculated to resist de
cay in any form. The water pipe is coated on the
outside only, as it is a well known scientific fact
that water, either salt, alkali, or sulphur, does not
affect wood, and in this city this pipe is used at the
Mint to carry off waste acids.
The gas pipe manufactured by this company is
made the same as the water pipe, except that it is
coated inside and is not bound as heavily with
iron; and one great feature of the gas pipe is, that
it prevents condensation.
From the San Francisco Daily Examiner of Octo
ber 20th, we quote as follows regarding a test of
this combination pipe:
u. On Friday we were invited to witness a test of
this water pipe, at the establishment of A.J.Smith,
BANCROFT LIBRARY,
Esq., on Fremont street, where three of Mr. Smith's
powerful "Atwood k Bodwell " pumps had been
arranged for the test. There were present several
gentlemen interested In the water supply, among
them being Mr. Schussler, Chief Engineer of the
Spring Valley Water Company. Three lengths of
the ordinary eight inch (inside diameter) pipe
were placed in position. The first pipe was de
signed to stand a fifty foot pressure. The pumps
were set at work, and soon a pressure of 160 pounds,
equal to a fall of nearly 400 feet, and yet the pipe
was apparently as nrm as ever. A pressure was
then put on equal to a head of 550 feet, when a
small seam opened in the wood, and a small spray
of water escaped. The pressure was leduced by
the escape of the water and the seam at once closed
and the pipe at 450 feet pressure was perfectly
tight. The second pipe was made for a head of 100
feet. This stood a pressure of 270 pounds to the
square inch, equal to a fall of nearly COO feet. The
third pipe, made for a 200 feet head, stood a pres
sure of 400 pounds to the square inch, equal to a
head of 900 feet. The test was evidently satisfac
tory to the scientific gentlemen present, and Mr.
Schussler expressed himself highly pleased with
the test. He said no pipe in actual service would be
called upon to stand such a test, for in cities itwas
impossible to close all the hydrants at the same
time, and even if it were possible to do so, the pe
culiar elasticity of this pipe rendered it superior
to any pipe he knew of. From his own observa
tion aud what he had learned, he expressed him
self highly pleased with the pipe.
This pipe has been used in the East for the latt
eighteen years, and nearly one thousand miles of
it has been thoroughly tested. It has been brought
into immediate competition with the best iron
pipe, and not in a single instance has it failed to
prove itself the best, and when taken up to lay
larger pipe it has been found perfectly sound aud
every foot relaid.
From the Alta California and Sau Francisco
Morning Call of November 1st:
A party of scientific gentlemen, including Super
visor Gibbs. Chief Engineer Scaunell, of the San
Francisco Fire Department, and several city offi
cials, were present to witness a test of the strength
of tho combination pipe, which was of an exceed
ingly interesting nature. Col. Dickinson bad had
prepared two tests, one of the ordinary six inch
pipes with three joints, manufactured to with
stand a pressure of two hundred feet head. The
other was two sections, joined in the centre with
an iron pipe obtained from the Spring Valley
Water Company. The iron section was fix feet
long, six inches in diameter, the iron being live
eighths of an inch in thickness. Joining at each
end was the wood pipe, also six inches in diameter.
An iron bar, lkj inches thick, passed through the
centre, and was secured at each end, making the
pipe perfectly air-tight. The object was to give a
decisive test to the stremrth of the two nilieM nnd
if possible, break the iron pipe with the force of
the water.
The water was pumped into the pipes by a hy
draulic pump. At three o'clock the pump was
started, and a pressure of 550 feet registered, when
the packing under the temporary washer on the
the first mentioned pipe blew out. The pipe, how
ever, did not show the least weakness, even the
joints being perfectly dry and the wood showing
that not a drop of water had escaped.
Tho pipe was then disconnected from this ono
and the interest concentrated in the other test,
whereby it was expected that the iron section
would give away. The wood pipe had been pre
pared to resist a pressure of 200 feet. The pumps
were started and the indicator on the gauge rcis
tered 1,250 feet when the bar of iron
through the pipe separated with the tremendous
force of the water, and further testing was useless.
An idea of the force may be had from the fact that
the bar was au inch aud a quarter in thickness,
and it drew apart like a thread.
The tests yesterday were satisfactory in every
particular to the company present, and the next
one will ba watched with interest.
The following are among the most prominent
places and companies on the Pacific Coast using
this pipe for the last three to eleven years: Ala
meda Water Co., Cal.; Santa Cruz Water Co., Cal.
Claus Spreckles, Esq.. Aptos, Cal.; Portland Water
Co., Oreuon ; Seattle Gas & Water Co.,W. T.; Olym
pia Water Works. W. T. ; Port Gamble, W. T. ;
Southern and Central Pacific Railroad Companies,
a large amount; United States Mint; Camp Mc
Dowell, Arizona.
A very fine endorsement of this pipe is made by
E. M.Morgan. Chief Engineer and Superintendent
of the Santa Cruz Water Works, where it has been
in use two years There they have two hundred
feet pressure all over the town, and he says he can
lay 1,250 feet of six inch pipe per day with four
men, and that in all ways, tapping, laying, etc.,
tho expense is far lea than iron pipe. That this
pipe must eventually come into general use there
can be no doubt, for it possesses the folk wing ad
vantages over any pipe in the world : 1st, it is the
cheapest good pipe ; 2d, it is the most durable of all
pipes practically imperishable; 3d, it neither ex
pands nor contracts, and corrosion is impossible;
4th, it is more easily laid can be tapped with an
ordinary auger; 5th, it is more easily handled
lighter in wtixkt, and perfectly tight; Cth, It is
Dutiable to get out of order; 7th, it need not be
laid so deep, and in cold climates will Hot freeze
so quickly; 8th, when used fcr water 'it neither
tastes of, or can be affected by chemical ingredi
ents; 0th, whfu used for gas it prevents condensa
tion. Descriptive books with full information can be
