Afterward I waa UUou to Kawalhae, where I snw cattle loaded In a most cruel manner. It was a little after C o'clock when I landed ou the teab among a lot of cowboys and half na ked natives. The cattle were corralled under the trees, and when one was ready to be taken aboard a rope was tied about Its horns. A cowboy on horseback then rode Into the surf, dragging the frightened steer Into the water. The rope was tossed to a half naked native who was swimming, and be In turn carried it to the men wait ing In a small boat These men pulled the animal, which must now swim or drown, to the boat and tied blm by the horns to Its side. After eight steers bad been tied up In this manner the engine on the steamer was set to work and the boat pulled alongside by means of a rope. The cattle were then hoist ed on board by the use of a belly band. The method of handling these dumb animals is brutal, and, while the men seem to use as much care as possible In moving them about, their piteous bellowing caused by fear made as pa thetic a scene as I have ever witness ed. Thousands are shipped every year, and It seems that some more humane method of putting them aboard might be adopted. The Japanese sailor on these ships Is said to be the best for keeping the ship clean, while the native excels in han dling the boats, especially in rough water. The Hawaiian is a born swim mer, and native boys will follow these vessels for several hundred yards as they are leaving Honolulu, swimming alongside and diving for coins thrown overboard by the travelers. The pas sage on these boats la always rough, and on the EwalanL as the ship lay at anchor out In the channel, the nights were intensely warm. Freighting in this way is necessarily expensive, but those In authority say that it is the only way practical, as no wharf could withstand the lashlug of the waves caused by the mad fury of the winds during the winter. At that season It is often impossible to make landings along the rocky coast of MolokaL Leslie's Weekly. The Electro Magnet In engineering works the electro magnet is taking a very prominent place. This device dispenses with books, slings and other lifting appara tus. By throwing a switch controlling the current the magnet is energized and thereby attaches itself to the bars, castings, scrap er pig Iron which it Is desired to lift The magnet poles are shaped according to the nature of the material to be raised. For heavy rails they are oblong and are slung from the crane hook by a short chaia Castings weighing over two tons are successful ly handled by electro magnets. Anoth er use to which the electro magnet Is put Is la breaking old castings so that they may be melted and utilized. To accomplish this the magnet is made to lift and drop a steel ball weighing from one to six tons. Passing of a Famous Bridge. At last the old bridge over the Golden Horn at Constantinople is about to be done awny with and replaced by a new structure. An amusing tale is told In connection with the efforts of an Amer ican firm to secure the order. With a view to impressing the sultan with the quality of its work an elaborate paint ing was prepared for presentation to his majesty showing the bridge as It would appear during a storm which would have done credit to the Atlantic. However, the firm was informed that the sultan would be so horrified by this view that It at once prepared picture showing the bridge as It would appear on a beautiful summer's day. Even this, however, Router says, failed to effect its purpose. Picture Frame Reform. A campaign against the classical gold frame one constantly sees on pictures Is being made by an American artist Charles Field of St Louis, now in Tar- Is. He contends that every frame an artist possesses should be especially designed as regards molding and carv ing to fit a given canvas, so it becomes not only part of the picture, bnt also the thing that shows It to best advan tage. The movement has caused much Interest and comment in American art circles. Already John Martin of New York has taken up the new Idea, and two of his pictures will be exhibited In the coming autumn salon framed in this way. Argonaut Cold 8tel. A new bayonet and also a new sword bare been decided upon, bat It is not known when they will replace the present regulation weapons. The sword la designed for thrusting and will be long, straight and narrow, after the pattern of the rapier. The bayonet, too, will be long and thin, so as to give its wiclder a good reach. It was said some time ago that the days of long range fighting .had made the bayonet almost obsolete, but the Rus so-Japanese war proved that band to hand fighting has by no means been relegated to the past London Court Journal. Dangerous 8ense of Humor. George G. Morton, a machinist resid ing on Russell street, has very sore ribs and all because be laughed too heartily. He was thoroughly enjoying a Joke played on a comrade with a gar den hose, and as be watched the sport from a window he laughed with great gusto, so much so that he was seized with pains and had to be helped to a eat A medical man was called and found that be had fractured a rib and bad torn away part of the lining about another rib.

Each of the plumbing shops of the city sent a man to the park to con nect the pipes as they were laid. There will be a hydrant every 125 feet In the park, 125 plugs in all, and the water system It is claimed, will be the best of any park In the north west, as a 60-foot hose will reach any part of the park. Already over $2500 has been spent In improving this coming beauty spot and the work Is Just commencing to show up. When the water is turned on It will soon bring out the grass and make the place a 40-acre lawn. While the tract cannot be used as a park for several months, it will be well worth one's time to take a trip out East Alder street and see Just what has been done. THE GREATEST AETUALLSTS.
