A prominent engineer says tnat n
will be noticed that most boiler explo
sions come, like black coffee, right
after dinner. The reason for this, as
he explains it, is that the water in the
boilers is in perfect readiness to become
steam, and would be such but for the
pressure of the actual steam on top of
it. When the dinner hour is over and
the men and machines begin to work
again, the valves are quickly opened.
the steam rushes out, and the water
suddenly becomes steam. As steam
has 1,700 times the expansion of water
the effeat is an explosion. , .

The sealing schooner Triumph,
Capt. lan McLean, his arrived at
Victoria, B. C, with 2,5tK) Kkina as the
season's catch. The little vessel looks
trim and neat after her cruise aud
made th? trip down in fifteen days,
clost-retfed all the way. The Triumph
left Victoria on May 5, but did not
sail from the west const uutil the 24th
of May, owing to difficulty in secur
ing Indian hunters. The hunters
comprised eleven Ind'.ans and two
whites, and one of the latter secure!
550 seals of the total catch. Oil
Queen Charlotte islands CG7 seals were
taken. The weather was very severe
during the wlulu time in Behring sea
nud on August 5 the worst gale ever
known occurred there. It was during
this storm that the whaling vet-sels
were lost.
Several schooners were, spoken he
fore and after going into the sea. The
Mary Ellen on August 2J had 1,U0
seals. While out hunting an Indian
was accidentally killed ly the hunter
in the boat. The lat'er laid his rifle
:cros the th waits, aud it suddenly
disch.irgt d, the shot entering the In
dian's sjdt. He died two hours after
wards and his body was pieserved in
alt and lauded at hi home at Aelia
let. The Maggie Mac on August 7
had 647 skins, and the Favourite on
July 25 had CG4 skins. An Indian
died on this vessel from bl.tck men
sles. The Americau schooner Annie,
of San Francif-co, on "the 23ih ( f July
nad 700 skins. The. Viva, on the 25th
of June, just entering the sea, had a
catch of 400. Her coast catch wa-
750 eking. It is thought that the
schooners will all have fair catches
this year. O.hers of the fleet aie ex
pected to arrive dady.
Striking- Benraen.
Coasting seamen are on the verge
of inaugurating another strike, and
freights are going down. Seamen are
demanding 50 for the voyage from
Port Townsend to Sau Francisco. The
schooner Wm. Benton, lumber-laden
for Brisbane, is in trouble with the
union seamen. The crew was slupped
in San Francisco for the round voyage
to Australia at 1-5 er month. The
union agent threatens bloodshed un
less the men are paid $5, more per
month. The revenue cutter is guard
ing the vessel and will probably ac
company her to sea.

Certain comniercUI circles at
San
Francisco are much interested in
the
recent discovery of borax in the
Bay
.f Lomrr ranch, Curry county,
Or.
T he steamer Jfewebov anchored in the
Bay of Lomar ranch and discharge 1
cargo and took on board the first ship
ment of borate of lime. 1 his borate
of lime is suncrior in quality to any
hitherto discovered, according to the
analysis of Prof. Price. The deposit
is volcanic, the borate occurring in
boulders varying in size up to 2,0tK)
iHiunds weight, imbedded iu volcanic
mud.
The area of the deposit has been
determined to be halt a mile in length
and 200 yards in width and thirty feet
in depth. The discovery is considered
if importance to the commercial
world, for the mine is so close to the
coast that a shell can be thrown from
it into the water, so that the expen
sive item of land carriage, which has
handicapped the borax industry of
California and Nevada, as well as oi
Italy, Asia Minor, Chili and Thibet,
io longer stands in the way. Vessels
drawing three fathoms, of water can
go within three hundred yards of low
water mark.
-The bay, which forms a portion of a
ranch of 1,200 acres, is half a mile In
width, with good anchorage, and is
protected both from the northwest
and southwest. A townsite will be
laid out and a wharf built, and min
ing operations vigorously proceeded
with at once.
JL New Pump.
A new pump lor high, service has
been shipped from .Lockport, New

city for a million and a half gdlons
per day, and will lilt the water 32a
feet aliove the bae of city grade'.
which is 55 feet higher than the pres
ent high service resrvoir. For the
present the high service, will be kept
up by direct pressure during the day,
ana water win tie pumpeu into the
reservoir at night. -
I here are numerous demands! for
extension of the water service, aud as
soon as pipe can be had the laying oi
eighteen miW of new nmiua will be
begun.
The city is extending in all direc
tions, and water is demanded at the
north end on the heights and at the
south end. Next summarthe c'-ty will
use 10,000,000 gallons per day, and it
will tax the pumps at the woiks to
their utmost capacity to furnish the
npply. The cost of fuel alone next
year will amount to $35,000. There
will be no pump in reserve as there
should lie, and if any accident should
hupiK.ii, the water supply would run
short.
A Collision Avoided.
Tne Umatilla "arrived at Victoria,
B. C, from Sau Francisco aa-J reports
hat while steaming t-lowly through r
fog 100 miles from San Francisco, a
steamer's whistle was heard. The
Umitilla whistled the unseen steamer
to pass to the starboard, but no notice
appeared to be taken by the other
vessvl, and in a few minutes she
crossed the bows of the Umatilla. The
distance between the vtssels was less
than fifty feet. An accident was
avoided by the captain of the Uma-
t'lla r versing the engines when the
whistle w is first heard. The Uma

Seven Colored Men Killed.
A fearful batllo between whiUs and
blacks took place at Hilliardsvi':le
Ala., in which seven colored men were
killed. The trouble grow out of the
fact that a while man refused to al
low his well to be longer used by a
crowd of camp-meeting negroes. One
of the negroes expressed a determina
tion to have some of the water, and the
white man drew a pistol and shot him
in the neck. that night a gang ot
negroes visited the house and dared
the white man to come out, but he re
fused to do bo, and after shooting holes
in his windows and doors they left.
The next night a gang:, presumably
friends of the white mail, vuiled the
negro camp and left several dead bod
ies as a reminder to other members ol

A gastronomic novelty at a recent

While the cow relaxes toe muscles of

the cow will hold up her, milk, simply
because she istired of tbe otlier posi

be secured, and remaining in the ud-
der, will have its wejl understood ef

RUSSIAN DESPOTISM.
Oaorg-o Kaiau Explavtns Why Bosstaos
Do Not Kmla-rmt.
I have been asked many times by
friends in America why intelligent and
liberty-loving Russians do not get out
of such a country. Many answers
might tje given to this question, but
perhaps the most comprehensive and
cogent of them will be found in Sec
tions S 25-5 23 of the Russian penal code,
which are as follows; ,
Section 325. Whoever leaves the
fatherland and enters the service of a
foreign Government without permis
sion of his own Government, or be
comes a subject of a foreign power,
such person, . for violation of h!s al
legiance and his oath shall be deprived
of all civil rights and expelled from
the limits of the empire forever. If
he returns, he shall be exiled to Si
beria for life. -
Secttom "S2& Whoever leaves the
fatherland and does not return at the
summons of the Government shall for
this disobedience be deprived of all
civil rights, and expelled from the lim
its of the empire forever unless, with-'
in a period to be fixed at the discre
tion of a court, he shows that his dis
obedience was due to eanses which
were beyond his control, or which mit
igate his guilt. Until he shall make
such proof, he shall be regarded as 1
missing, and his property shall be con
trolled by the bureau of guardianship.
- Section 327. Any person who, with
out permission of the Government and
without adequate reason, lives abroad
beyond the period fixed by law -for per
sons of his station shall also be regard
ed as missing (literally, "absent with
out news,") and bis property shall bs
taken in charge by the bureau pi guar
dianship. ,
. Section 828- Any person who per
suades a subject of the empire to emi- .
grate to another country shall be pun
ished with penal servitude in a con
vict company for not less than twelve
nor more than eighteen months, or be
banished to Siberia for life.
Under one cf the above-quoted sec
tions (826) Turgenief, while living in
Paris in 18C3, was summoned to St.
Fstersbarg to answer before the Di
recting Senate for something that bt
had writ-ten or said. One can see from
his letters to a friend, P. T. Annenkoff,
how humiliating and , exasperating
obedience was to him, bnt he obeyed.
The Government does not recognize
the right ef its subjects to go abroad
or to live abroad without its permis
sion; and if, therefore, a Russian takes
refuge from oppressioa iu a . freer
country, he must face the prospect of
expatriate n. outlawry, the loss of all
the property left behind him, and exile
to Siberia if he ever returns." Few
people are - willing to separate them
selves for life in this way from
friends, relatives, home, eountry and
all that a man. naturally holds dear.
What alternative, then, is left to the
oppressed whea oppression becomes
intolerable? They must either submit
or fight; and if they are not willing to
submit and are not able, under the
provisions of this eode. to oppose
tyranny bj peaceful collective action,
they will inevitably resort to violence
and fight, singly or in small groups, as
they are now fight in?, until they go to
Siberia in leg-fetters or perish on the
scaffold. George Kennar in Ctnlury.
WOMEN AND MARRIAGE.
Old Iileas That Can No Laajar
H Coa.
sldered Popular.
In almost-all the recent attempts to
explain the unpopularity pf marriage
it seems to have been taken for granted
that women's feelings with regard to
it are uniform.' It is certainly not
true, however, that all women are
waiting with "bated breath and wh"- -pering
humbleness" for an advanta
geous offer of marriage. The feelings
of women are Changing, and the old
ideas as 'to women and their social
functions cn no longer be takes for
granted. .Woman is now a worker
and a tbinktr. and marriage for edn
cated women is only one of many pos
sible oionpations; and educated wom
en may be excused if" they regard it
the least desirable ef them. A woman
who becomes a teacher, who en ters
one of the professions, or takes a com
mercial position lives a life of dignity
and freedom. In politics, in litera
ture, in science, in art and in social
Intercourse she has .a thousand oppor
tunities of distinction and' pleasure
which would be denied her if she be
came a mother. She is - net at the
mercy of a titan's moods and humors.
She is not a aurse and a drudge, but
for all practical purposes-a man
and a citizen. She mixes freely with
men; she profits by their conversa
tion; she joins hem in their enjoy
ment, and she' co-operates -with them
in their social duties. Her life
is a life of freedom, variety, energy
and resource. Her character becomes
strengthened by the demands upon
her; her intellect Is enlarged by the
problems she is called upon to solve;
and as new and more important duties
devolve upon her she is qualified to ac--cept
them with courage and discharge
them with skilL In a word, the edu
cated women of to-day prefer freedom
and the friendship of men to-the prac
tical slavery of the marriage bond,
and In proportion as other careers are
opened up to them it may be safely
said that the attractions of marriage
will still further decrease. Philadel
