STOCKHOLM , Sept. 2S. A few ilaja ago
I had a otcamboat ride down the blue watcis
of tbo Malar In this beautiful northern city ,
which In come icspccts had unique ele
ments -Indeed 1 do not think tbcro ever
was another steamboat ride just like U. 1
liad been Invited to go with a party ot
gentlemen up thn Malar a few miles to
meet an Incoming steamer fresh from the
bottom Ot llit ocean , and U was upon her
that I rodo.
Our little flte.imcr swung alongside the
gicat l 6it , and after much difficulty the
Bnuller uiaft was made fast and wo went
on board. A strange looking craft eho was
n she lay In ths smooth stream , her mon
strous bulk , free of all cargo , but lightly
resting upon the water. On her sides
were the ilccp sea Incrustations and much
( ( how of rust , even to the topmost Inch ot
lnir funnels the rust could be seen. She
had been at the bottom of the Baltic for
upward of tincc years , and yet she wts
working her own engines and when wo had
inspected her hold and had looked Into
the cavernous depths where of lito the fish
iiad had their home , tihe started once more

INCIDENTS OF THE RAISING OK THE WILTON.
* cn her Journey and pulled us steadily up to
the city's harbor , a great , gaunt , unsightly
Iiulk , yet marking what promises to bo anew
now epoch In the marine life of the world.
Something like three years ago this boat ,
an English ship , the Wilton by name , en
gaged In tine ore trade from Gellvara In tha
north of Sweden , ran onto a rock In the har
bor of Lulca. at the northern point of the
EalHc lu the gulf of Bothnia. It was u
huge hole that was torn In her side , forty
feet long by ten -wide , and she went speedily
to the bottom. She lay there some time
and at last a proposition was made by a
company , organized to raise her , to put
'her. ' on hw feet , or on iher sea legs perhaps
woulJ ho a better term to float her for so
many thousands of dollars. It was a tri
angular affair between the ship's company ,
the Insurance people and the company
formed to raise the boat. At last the deal
iwas effected and the company proceeded to
raise thq boat to the surface , a most diffi
cult thing to do.
SANK fHE SHIP PURPOSELY.
When shcujvjs well'afloat ' the financial part
of the deal came up for consideration.
There , , was a hitch of some kind and the
Insurance people and "tho Neptune company ,
organized to" raise her , could not agree.
After a deal of conferring back and forth ,
all of which proved fruitless , the captain of
jfho'.pr.o.w , that had raised the ship towed her
out In the harbor and sank her.
It was an audacious thing to do , but It
was a thoroughly effective way of settling
the difficulty. The Insurance people would
not pay what the Neptune company ssked.
The Neptune people had raised the boat ,
lint tlioyJud not stipulated that they would
keep her raised , They believed also In
putting things back In the place whcro they
were llrst found , so doun she sank among
the fishes of thu harbor of Lulca.
It la a little to\\n on the far north coast
of Sweden , and not much uas known about
the.affair , but the heroic treatment of tlio
case by the captain was long the tilk of UIL
town. Two years pasted by. The boat
and her cargo of Iron ere weru rusting at the
bottom of thu Daltlc , and there waa every
Indication that they would both stay there ,
DI5 LAVAL. STEPS IN.
Dut a number of Stockholm gentlemen de
termined that they would make another ef
fort to land this huge aquatic prize , They
organized a company , entered Into negotia
tions with the owners of the ship , agreed
to ralso the boat and deliver the cargo to the
owneis 'If , In turn , they should have the
ship far their trouble and expense , and the
deal \\iiit through , Dut they had far bet
tor arrangements for the raising thin per-
liap * any other ship-raising company had
over had before. Tha king of all SueillsU
Inventor ? , 0 ? Laval , who Is known the world
over for his Invention byhlch milk and
cream may bo separated und for oilier In
ventions of International 'Importance as well ,
liad Invented a steam turbine pump , a tur
bine wheel operated by steam Instead of
"wafer and' capable of great power with a
.very . slight weight In the engine.
The hole In the bow of the boat was
patched up , t\\o hugo steel tubes , each as
largo almost as a mans body , \\ere sunk
Into tia ! bolt's hold and connected with
tlio Bteam pump above. The water waa
only about twenty feet over the top of the
sunken boat , so that the divers could work
in the hold In tlio water and on the outside
to patch up the hole ,
puMi'nn nuv IN FIVE nouns ,
'Finally u huge caisson of timbers and
bcardi , the latter about two Inchrti In thick ,
urss , was made and sunk to the deck of the
bcut. With Infinite difficulty this catcson
vas mc'lo fast to the deck with a water
tight Joint. When everything was In readl-
ncsK the tiny engine , not more than four
fict In length by three feet In height , nas
eet to nork , and In Just five hours the entlio
b > at WUB Clumped dry by this tiny but all
powerful token of the magic of De Laval ,
The old boat rote to the surface the moment
the water was out of her bold , anJ an she
di'l so she- gave a splendid proof of the
inogrtsi ot tlio world the raising of , this
boat Is of great s'grlflcancc ' to the maritime
Interests ot all lands.
You may bo quite sure there was great re
joicing when It became evident that the tiny
pump attached to JU great t ul tubes bad
done Its work end the ship was afloat. The
cargo was unloaded and turned over to the
owners 2,300 tons of ore worth 11.000 kroner ,
and the boat became the property of the
Stockholm gentlemen who had had such faith
In the enterprise. The boat was not so
seriously damaged as might be suppose * ! and
was worth at the least calculation 10,000 ,
a neat little sum of $50,000 pumped Into the
pockets of these gentlemen In five hours'
time.
UNDCn HER OWN STEAM.
So well preserved was the boat. In fact ,
that with some careful cleaning up the
engines were set to work , and a few days
ago they began purling- their way out of the
lurbor of Lulea , bound down the coast to
Stockholm. It took several days for the
trip , for she made only six knots an hour ,
but she came 'the ' whole distance by her own
propeller , and on the bright summer nftcr-
noon , with the Swedish colors at her mast
head Instead of the union jack of her former
owners , she came steaming Into Stockholm ,
the most .remarkable vessel that ever went
alloat. There was much gaycly on board on
the way to harbor after the party had In
spected the ship all they wished , end many
were the bottles of champagne that were
emptied anJ many the cigars smoked and
hearty the Mpccchcs that were made over the
success of the venture , this opening of a new
era In the life of the sea.
The host Is now In n dry dock In a Stockholm
helm shipyard being overhauled ,
When Captain Nleburg , In oharge of the
raising of the boat , was photographed at
Lucia ho htood , even though a short man ,
head and shoulders above the pump. The
caisson and timbers afforded ample room
for the pump to work It would * sit easily
on a smalt center table. It moved BO
smoothly when at work one would hardly
realize It wto , tn motion. It is of 33-horsc
power. Twelve men only were employed In
the preliminary work of raising the boat ,
and the flvo hours' pumping ilntshed up
their labors.
And yet perhaps even more wonderful
was the recent raising of the Swedish
steamer Sodra. Sverlga , a ship which ran
on to the reefs of the Baltic coast , an
hour's rldo south of Stockholm , .about two
and one-half years ago. The beat waa
sunken In 200 or more feet of water , far
too deep for any diver to work without
peril of Jils life. A Swedish engineer , Mr.
I > . A. Walles , turned his talents to use
and invented a ihuge tube of steel about
four feet in diameter , which was let down
by the boat's side. There were wlndjws of
heavy plate glaibs in the tube , so that work
men on the Inside could see the form of the
vsssel. Various appliances were put In use- ,
so that chains and tackle could bo attached
to the boat , and little by little a firm grap
pling contact was made. Above the boat
huge floats of heavy timbers were made ,
from which to work. The tackle was fas
tened and the boat was slowly hauled out o (
the ooze toward shallower water. In which
divers could operate with safety.
For six months , from October , 1S9C , to
some time In March. 1897. the tiny little
pump was working on the Inside of the
boat , to keep the water down , or up , so
the work might proceed. It Is a De Laval
pump again this man eecms to have a
hand In about every enterprise in SweJen.
The pump Is smaller than the one which
dicw the water from the Wilton. So light
Is It that one man nijved the table on which
It rested with ease.
3,500 REVOLUTIONS A SECOND.
It has only five-horse power , but It makes
3.SOO revolutions per second. In the case
of the Sodra Svcrlga the use of the steel
tube , combined with the pump , solved the
still more Important problem of deep t > ea
raising. The engineer who Invented the
apparatus expects now to be able to raise
boats that arc at least 600 feet deep In the
ocean. When ho came to apply for a patent
for this really wonderful Invention he could
not get It , because of the very simplicity of
the inccluntam there was no such thing as
patenting a steel tube. So his Invention
must go free to the world ,
liy the raising of these boats , the Wilton
and thu Sodra Sverlga , the Swedes have
demonstrated their sea power In a now way.
The possibilities which now open bcforo
mailtlmo commerce are of vast significance.
The Sodra Sverlga had a cargo of some
1,000,000 kroner In value and a very large
amount of It was bound to bo not seriously
damaged. The health of the inventor of the
tubes was drunk by thu King and other dig
nitaries In the liquor which hud lain for
nineteen months In Usr cargo at the bottom
of the sea , Much of the Immense loss
which has been the result of the coast dis
asters , and which promised to continue for
all tlmo to come , because man could not
conquer the sea , will now. It is believed , bo
obviated 'in the future dealings with old
Neptune. There is great rejoicing among
the Swedes here In Stockholm , not only because -
cause of the success of these two enter
prises , but because of the additional pres
tige which such practical successes glvo to
the Swedish name abroad. Darly In June
the Sodra Sverlga was towed into Stockholm.
Slio , llko the Wilton , rose immediately to
the surface the moment the water
was pumped out of her hold. Tne
boat was Hed up at a wharf at theWorld's
fair exposition grounds , where thousands of
people looked wl'h deep Interest on tue
strange product , or , to strengthen the figure ,
this strange prophecy of the seas.

Frank Davcy , a San. Francisco photogra
pher , Is the possessor of a very strange fish ,
which after having exhibited to a number
of friends while still alive , ho put Into alco
hol to keep , The flub. Is known to some people
ple , but Is quite rare. Its home is In the
deep water , and If the tjtory told by the
Chinaman who procured It , namely , that the
catch was made In comparatively shallow
water just outlde of the harbor , Is to be
depended on , the occurrence Is Indeed un
usual.
It Is about three Inches lu length , and
ivhcu alive wjuj ot a bright yellow hue , with
spots of black hero- and there. Hi mouth Is
quite large , and the part of the body neur
on t Id correspondingly large. It then tapers
off to a small tall , Dut the peculiar part Is
that there are no pills or what are popu
larly known as such. Where these should
bo the skin Is just as It Is nil over the body ,
At a distance of about half an Inch and
protruding from the belly near the central
part are what might bo called arms or legs.
They arc Jointed and have some ten very
line clawe. These , together with another
pair further anterior , the fish , when alive ,
used to walk about with on the bottom of
the jar In which It was contained.
It would show flght Instantly when approached
preached , and gave every sign of being endowed
dewed with the spirit of the evil one , brist
ling up Us fins snapping Its sharp teeth ,
elevating A sharp , knlfellko appendage on
the top of Us nose , and sending two cur
rents of water from holes or false gills just
back of the large , armllkc appendages men
tioned above.
When the fish was killed and placed In
alcohol the bright yellow disappeared en
tirely , and left In Its place a whitish color.

The heathen Chinee Is once more Indul
ging in ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain.
In his pecullar Nax he Is returning thanks
to Joss et"ttl. for the bounteous harvest. It
Is true he gets no direct benefit from It but
he docs not overlook the .fact that ho Is
tolerably certain to get his "bit" out of It In
one way or another1. Therefore his shrunken
bos > om swells with gratitude.
People who Hvo lu the vicinity of China
town do not entirely approve of the Oriental
method of thanksgiving , relates the Port
land Oregonlan. They think that John could
as a rule be happy If ho tave thanks In
secret In the privacy of h''s ' closet , as by
parading the streets In the watches of the
night , becoming as sounding brass or a
tinkling cymbal. They do not approve of his
Wagnerlan idea of harmony. Dut John has
made- himself solid with the chief of police
and If he chooses to make the listening W'.l-
lamette tremble underneath her banks to
hear the replication of his Founds , made In
her concave shores , it Is nobody's business.
Ho has culled out a holiday , put en his best
attire , and sper/Js the hours when less
poetic people are dead to the world strewing
flowers in thq way of his satanlc majesty.
Last night Second street , from Oak to
Taylor , was a glistening line of lurid nut-
oil names. A flourish of Chinese clari
nets , which can give a farllament of tom
cats cards and spades In a nerve-destroy
ing contest , fo-ced the unwilling attention
of the populace for blocks around. Uril-
liantly robed priests , singing songs of their
own devising , marched up and down the
line behind the music , and the entire pop
ulation tf Chinatown gazed In awe-stricken
admiration at the beautiful spectacle.
That was not all. The devil was there
by proxy. The proxy was constructed of
vorl-colored tissue paper , and if sinne s
could be convinced that It resembled the
original , there would bo a sudden boom
for membership In the churches. After
being carried up and down the line a few
hours , the elflgy was plunged Into consum
ing lire , and the last of him curled up In a
spiral thread of smoke at 3 a. m.
This week his funo al will be noisily cel
ebrated , and ho will bo burned again at the
end of that tlmo , so as to make a sure job.
Two burnings keep him dead a year , when
another harvest brings another tide of grat
itude , and two moic burnings stand the
devil off till the seasons have again run
their course.
Dlstlgurement for life by burns or scolds
may be avoided by using Do Witt's Witch
Hazel Salve , the great remedy for piles and
for all klmlc of sores and skin troubles.

Within the narrowly confined walls of
Newcastle's historic old Jail yard five pris
oners , four negrces and one white man , weio
publicly whipped and pilloried a few days
ags , recalling the barbarous days when the
thumbscrew and the rack were not uncom
mon means of punishment for crime. With
the exception of one man , a negro , who had
attempted to feloniously assault a little
girl , and who richly deseivcd his fate , all
the other culprits were cjnvlcted on various
counts , charging them with potty larceny.
Following each quarterly session of the
general sessions court of Newcastle county ,
relates the Philadelphia Times , there are
usually a number of culprits condemned by
the Judges to the pillory and tbo lash. While
the offense for which some of these prison
ers suffer Is no greater than the larceny
of a pair ofboots or the ordinary case of
purloining a pokctbook or robbing a roost ,
the prisoner must undergo tbu usual term of
Imprisonment , and If the judge deems It
an aggravated case the pillory and the "cat"
are also added to his punishment.
In every Instance , unlcns he Is disabled by
slckneas or death , the sheriff must Inflict the
corporal punishment , Ho has no alternative
but to obey the court's directions. Usually
the prisoner who Is to bo pilloried Is brought
out first , and while the crowd of Impatient
people gather about him and make all man
ner of Jest of the man in the Blocks , the
prisoner wriggles and squlnra at the post ,
beating a tatto upon the floor of the stocks
with his feet , as If to make biiro that llfd
etUl holds his twisted and distorted body to
gether.
Owing to tbo tardiness ot Sheriff William
U. Flint * , who was detained at court In Wil
mington , the whippings did not take place on
echedule tlmo this morning. Usually the
hour set for the whippings la 11 o'clock , and
promptly at this time the gate U thrown open
