J-i Is fast approac reunions and parents as t should re husban mem Have had selected espe Francisco for the last six we supply, until we can confide menced to arrive and now t WAVE POWEB M0T0B. The San Francisco Call gives a graphic accodtit of a new wave power motor just finished and proved a success. The construc tion of this machine or apparatus, which was begun in July, 1836, was at the time considered a hair brained scheme, but the projectors stuck to their plan, and seem now to be in the fair way to success. Great difficulty was experienced at first in getting the materials to withstand the force of rocks thrown against them by the waves, and the pipes which conduct the water up the b uff were broken and car ried away no Jtss than fourteen times. When the schooner Par allel went ashore and her cargo of dynamite exploded, the motor was completely wrecked. A mas of rock weighing six hundred tons was thrown from the cliff and fell across the chasm over which the motor was suspended, blocking it up to such an extent that nearh three months were consumed in blasting out the debris. Soon af terward another ma&s of stone weighing one hundred and fifty t,bns fell and had to be removed, ne motor, which was designed and built by E. T. Steen, is a very simple contrivance, and still is ca . ' pabie of exerting great power. Across-a chasm in the rocks just north of Parallel Point, a bridge of heavy timbers was built. Suspended from this is a huge fan or paddle of oak timbers with the spreading portion downward. This is fasteued to the bridge by immense hinges, which allow it, TUES when in operation, to swing back and forward a distance of six feet 'g the waves strike it. The han- die or upper portion of the fau is "connected with a solid plunger pump 12 inches in diameter and having a stroke of 9 to 12 feet. This pump, in turn, is connected with a suction pipe running out into deep water. The fan is so rigged that it can be drawn up out of reach of the wares when not in use. When a st?tTe,comes in, the fan is thrown . forward arid forces the air out of the pump barrel in which the plunger works. On the wave re ceding, the fan is carried seaward and the plunger drawn out, caus CHRI8 MERE hing; that great fond remeio.br he parents are member their w ds; when lover r bers friend, and us" sh D. cially for them in the East, a eks watching all the late Eu ntly assert that no such disp hat they are all here we sha ing a vacuum, and causes a quick rush of water into the suction pip. The force with which the water it. drawn up is sufficient to raise it to txxx elevation of 350 feet above the sea level. Should this motor prove as suc cessful as its piojectors seem con fident it will, beveral other j will be built in the same neighborhood, and an immense reservoir built on the hill to contain the water. This one mo or with its 12-inrh plunger is capable of raising 12 000 feet of water 350 feet ligh in every twentv-four hours. The uses to which the water will be put are various. A 36 inch pipe wiil be conducted to the city, and water will be supplied to all branches of industry where water is uscl. Bathing houses will also be sup plied with talt water, and stwers flushed where it is necessary. The first woik performed will be bejun in about ten days, and an 8-inch pipe is now being la'd ior the purpose. The last mentioned pipe is for Adolph Sutro, and is to be utilized in sluicing away a large amount of drifting sand from the heignts usi back of the aquarium. This work is rendered necessary to prevent the sand from washing back on the beach and retarding the work there. The immense fan of the motor generates a-large amount of energy which is not used in working the pump, and, when everything is in shape, electrie dynamos will be erected to utilize the energy for heating purposes and the like. - Waste of Tissue Without Repair.

The tree never leafed out till fall, because it took the sap all summer to find its way up to the branches. When Luman put the log on the fair ground it immediately began to roll all around the premises, being too crooked to lie still. They had to whip up the team to st away from it. Grsncsee, III.., News. A Dakota prv.irio fire recently jumped Cannon Ball river at a point where it is 100 feet from bank to bank. Several thrifty Indians on the Sioux reservation who are farming, lost their stack-s and other property. One Indian named Shoot the Enemy hud his children buried under a platform supported by poles. The fire took this platform and burned the bodies. "Handy to have in the house" Ayer's Cherry Pectoral a prompt and certain remedy for croup, colds and pulmonary affections. The managers of the Galveston JNeics have been arrested for issu ing an Sundaj edition. Now the funny part of the incident is that the work done on a Sunday paper is done on a week day, when man ual labor is lawful. And yet no bocfy ever attempted to arrest a proprietor for issuing a Monday morning paper, though all tho work is done on Sunday. There are some queer people in this world.
