LIFE SPENT AT SEA.
Few Uaji In 60 Years When Captain
Doane Wag Ashore.
The life of Capt. William H. Doane,
"who died here the other day, was pe
culiar in one respect. During his sea
faring life of sixty-six years, aside
from the time he spent on a South Sea
island, there were tew days when he
felt solid ground beneath his feet, hia
home being almost continuously afloat.
For forty years he served either in a
lighthouse or on a lightship for the
United States government. Thirty of
these forty years he spent on the Hen
and Chicken lightship at the entrance
of Vineyard sound. He was 80 years
old, and first went on a whaling voy
age when he was 14. On his next voy
age he became ill. The captain, who,
like the skipper on all whalers, was
also the ship's doctor, was unable to
cure him, and it was decided to put
him ashore at Otaheite, one of the So
ciety group. The chief who was asked
to look after him consented on con
dition that the boy would become a
member of the tribe. The chief's con
ditions were agree:l to, and young
Doane was taken ashore. He received
kind treatment from the natives, and
was ?oon nursed back to health. When
he r/as strong enough to undergo the
ccrcmony he was received into the
tribe, the tribal mark being placed on
the back of his hand. He remained
with the tribe for many years, learn
ing the language and becoming one
of them in every way. He was finally
taken off the island by an English
brig and was landed on the South
American coast. As the quickest way
to get home he enlisted for service on
the United States frigate Constellation,
Commodore Clarney, which was on her
way to Chinese waters. This was dur
ing our first trouble with China. It
wv.s four years after Doane reached
home, ail of that time being spent on
the Constellation. The cruise in Chi
nese waters ended, he came to this
r-ity, where he ever after made his
home. Soon after his return he again
decided on a whaling voyage, but when
three weeks out he fell through an
open hatchway, breaking his left arm.
That ended his career as a whaler, and
socn after he got a berth on a light
ship.—New Bedford (Conn.) corre

LINCOLN AN INVENTOR.
l 'atcnted a Sto.iniboit Device Before He
Entered Politic«.
In the patent office are many papers
of interest. Not the least is one show
ing that' Abraham Lincoln a dozen
years before he became president be
longed to that tribe known as Inven
tors. The jacket in case No. 6,469 con
tains the papers, the indorsements
thereon showing that A. Lincoln, of
Springfield, county of Sangamon, state
of Illinois, March 10, 1849, filed an ap
plication for a patent—petition, affi
davit, specification, drawing and model
—which was examined April 13, .di
rected to issue May 10, patented May
22, recorded in volume 38, page 664,
and Z. C. Robbin was the attorney.
The petition is for a patent for "a new
and improved manner of combining
adjustable buoyant chambers with
steamboats and other vessels, for the
purpose of enabling the draught of wa
ter to be readily lessened, to enable
them to psiss over bars or through
shallow water without discharging
their cargoes," and, referring to the
drawing, describes "the buoyant cham
bers constructed in such a manner that
they can be expanded so as to hold
a large volume of air when required
for use and can be contracted in a
very small space and safely secured as
soon as their services can be dispensed
with." In asking Mr. Robbin to se
cure the patent Mr. Lincoln remarked:
"I thought a steamboat on that plan
would run where it was a little damp."

Big Spider Web.
Ceylon is the home of the largest
species of spider that has yet been
made the subject of entomological in
vestigation. This web-spinning mon
ster lives in the most mountainous
districts of that rugged island and
places his trap—not a gossamer snare
of airy lightness, but a huge net of
yellow silk from five to ten feet in di
ameter—across the chasms and As
sures in rocks, says Our Fellow-Crea
tures. The supporting guys of this gi
gantic net, which in all cases is al
most strong enough for a hammock,
are from five to twenty feet in length,
made of a series of twisted webs, the
whole being of the diameter of a lead
pencil. As might be imagined, this
gigantic silken trap is not set for mos
quitoes, flies and pestiferous gnats, but
for birds, gaudy moths and elegantly
painted butterflies, some of the latter
having a spread of wing equal to that
of a robin or a bluejay.
Fa tuned with the File.
Convict—Well, did the guvner git

and put it on file. Convict (eagerly)—
Say, tell him to return me petition if
unavailable, and 3ead de file along

Binder Twine
Will be scarce this year! Order it at once!
It has been predicted that there will be a serious shortage of
twine this year, owing to the scarcity of hemp, largely due to
the war in the Philippines.
More than 25,000 farmers purchased their binder twine of
us last year, and we had less than twenty-five complaints all
told. No other brand of twine can show such a record.
Our Blue Label Binder Twine is the
best in the world. The average
breaking strength of our twine is 80
pounds and we guarantee every
pound to give satisfaction or we'll
refund your money.
