0 NAUTICAL NOTES. The Local Attraction of an Iron Ship. 1 Historic Tessel Eouto for British Honduras Tho, Largest Ship Ever Built in Canada. Ulgh Smokestacks to ImproTe the Draft of Furnace. An Iron Ship's Cmpul Variation.

Captain Hildretn end to tho New York Marina Journal a diagram and explanation of a method which ha has found rery satisfactory and thoroughly reliable for finding the local attraction of an iron ship. II also claims it to he tho easiest war. The method Is as follows When a steamer is on the line of north variation of compa'i, as she is when south of capo Hatteras few hundred miles, wingc the ship slowly aronnd and from the top of the. pilot hcnae, as sear orer the (steering compass as possible, take tha bearing of the north tar on every point and note the bearing on a card to show a diagram of the ship and the course by the star. Beneath this draw the compass as it bears in the pilot honse and from the center of the compass draw a line to the pent the north star bears on.

The result will be an exact showing of the variation of the compass. After tho ship passes off the of north variation, the correct variation of the compass must be added orsob-tracted from the local attraction shown by the card, which will give the true course, with slight variation, owing to the north star's variation from the true magnetio north, but not enough to af- fect ordinary- navigation. If the bear-ng is taken in any other part of the hip that near tha compass to be corrected, it will be useless, as often a dif-. i erenoe will be found between a compass forward and one aft in a laie bhip. Tiiis correction will last a year, hen the ship ought to be swung again, but large quantities of iron as cargo will deviate tha compass more or less, nud it may be irmembured.

on tfie other hand, that age in an iron ship reduces the local attraction. Captain Mildret.i says he has tried this method in rine iron steamships witn unfailing roe a It. Of course a (hip can be "swung anywhere, but the rariation of the compass has to be calculated, and as it varies with every do- tree of latitude, it is far easier to get the local attraction and then apply the rariation. Boss Tweed's Old Yacht Julia. The Charleston (S.

News and Con ner, ui io, rtay auu jiirasuig acht Julia, from New York, arrived in this port yesterday morning for the. purpose of getting out inspection paper. This handsome little boat is lommanded by Captain Pratt, who has his family on board, and is bound lor Honduras. She got her papers promptly, and left port yesterday afternoon in ompany with the little government acht Dagmar. The two boats will go together as far as Key West.

where toe Dagmar will stop. The Julia is a Wooden vessel and was built in Mystic, in 1668. Besides being a very pretty boat, she has some-. thing of a history, which makes her an bbjeofe of more than ordinary interest. Che was buil for the famous "Boss" rwoed, of New York, and was owned by him at the time his peculations in New York were exposed, when he tied from the officers of the law.

lie went to New Orleans, where he was met by the Julia, In which he took passage for Havana. His departure was known soon after the little vessel had steamed out of the harbor and pursuit was instituted, but at that time the Julia as the fastest ooat afloat and she went steaming away across the Mexican gulf, leaving her pursuers far to the rear, much to the delight of her designer, who had never before had an opportunity of seeing the boat given so fair a test. This made her famous and she has changed hands number of times since that exciting Incident transpired. Despite the Julia's speed, however, the Boss could not make a final escape, and the sequel to A.h a fftmnnl vinh t.tner inriHint ia u. nart the history of the country.

The Julia is a 4-ton boat and is most conveniently equipped for pleasure purposes. Despite her twenty-three seasons she is a safe and powerful vessel. Improving- the Draft of Steamers. The latest plan to improve the draft of the furnaces of ocean steamers is to increase the height of the smokepipes. The new steamer Scot, of the Cape Mail line, is provided with smokestacks 120 feet high above the grates, being the loftiest pines ever nut into a steamer.

A. draft of water is thus obtained, all the steam needed is easily secured, and the use of fans is dispensed with. The (Scot is 502 feet Ion ir over alL 4t0 feet on the water line. feet beam. 37 feet hold, draws 23 feet with 2800 tons of coal on board, is T000 tons, built of steel and makes l'J knots speed.

Interstate Law. A Eapretne Coart Peclaton on a Kentucky Case. The Buprenie court of the United States has very recently rendered a decision defining pretty clearly tbe relation of state restrictive laws to companies and persons engaged in interstate commerce. The laws of Kentucky prohibit any agent of an express compauy not incorporated by the laws of that commonwealth from carrying on the business of transportation of packages, in the state, without first obtaining a license to carry on the business and pay in a a license fee. An indictment was found against the ageut of the United States Express Company, stationed at Frankfort, for acttug and doing business for the company, a foreign comoration, within tho state without a lioeuse.

The agent pleaded not guilty. A statement of facts was agreed upon, in substance as follows: The defendant is agent of the com- any, which is a foreign corporation oing business ordinarily done by express companies in the country. The business is carried on, not only from poiuts in the utate to other points in the state, but aUo from points within the state to points without the state in divers parti of the United States and vice versa. That defendant did not. nor did tl.e company, obtuin any license from the state of Kentucky.

About one-fourth of the company's business is done entirely within the state, and tbe remaiuiug thre-f jurths between the state and other states. The defendant was found guilty and sentenced to nay a fin's, and the court of appeal, of Kentucky sustained the finding of the court below. The case was then appealed to the United States supreme court. The court, throuqb Justice Bradley, says: "It has frequently been laid down by this court that the power of con gross over interstate commerce is an absolute as it is over foreign commerce. Would anyone pretend that a state legislature could prohibit a foreign corporation an English or a French transportation company, for example Iroui coming into its borders and lauding goods and passengors at its wharves and soliciting goods ana Eassengers for a return voyago without rut obtaining a license from some state olhcer and filing a sworn statement as to the amount of its capital stock paid int And why nott Evidently because the matter is not within the province of state legislation, but within that of national legislation.

(Steamship Company vs. Tinker. U. S. 233.) The prerogative, the responsibility and tbe duty of providing for the security of the citizens and tb people of tho United States in relation to foreign corporate bodies or foreign individuals with whom they may have relations of foreign eorwnerce belong to the government of the United States, and not to the government of the several states; and confidence in that regard may be reposed in the national legislature without any anxiety or apprehension arising from the fact that the subject matter is not within the province or jurisdiction of the state legislatures.

And the same thing is exactly as true with regard to interstate commerce as it is with regard to foreign commerce. No difieience is perceivable between, the two. A state cannot, under the guise of a license tax, exclude from its jurisdiction a foreign corporation engaged in interstate commerce or impose any burdens upon such commerce within its limits. The court concludes: "Neither licenses nor direct taxation of any kind, nor any system of state regulation can be imposed upon any interstate any more than upon foreign commerce, anil all acts producing any such result are, to that extent, unconstitutional and void." The law of Kentucky as applied to this defendant is open to this objection, and the judgment of the court of appeals of Keutucky must be reversed. IndentlQcatlon of More Ancient Cities of the Pharaohs.

Dr. Naville, the diso overer of Bubas-tis and of the treasure city of Pi thorn, has just given to thi world the results of his work in identifying other cities aud districts in Egypt, more especially some connected witn the exodus of the Israelites; aud at tho end of the mouth of June he presented these results bo-fore one of tho largest meetings ever held by the Victoria (Philosophical) Institute, of Adelphi Loudon, the great hall in which the meeting was eld being so crowded that many had to be accommodated in the vestibule. The chair was taken on the occasion by the president. Sir Gabriel Stokes, past president of the Royal Society, and the present occupant of Sir Isaac Newton's professorial chair at Cambtidge University. The business of the evening was commenced by Captain F.Petrie, the honorary secretary, reading the report, which showed taat the institute's members aud associates in the United States, England, India and in other parts of the world had now risen to 1400, a number which was being added to by the alinont daily applications to join.

Tfie value of the transactions was shown by the increasing number of languages into which foreign members translated them, especially those scientific papers showing the error of those who artmed that science in any way contrndfeted the Bible. Sir Joseph Fayer, K. C. S. F.

It. moved, and Dr. Moule, who had just arrived from China, seconded the first resolution, after which Dr. Neville's address was given. He illustrated his remarks by referring to an elaborate inap-of hi surveys.

He said he had found that Succoth was not a city, as some had supposed, but a district; from a remarkably valuable inscription discovered ac Pi thorn, there was no longer any doubt that it was that Greek lleroopolis, from whence, as Strabo, Tliny, Agathemeros and Artemidorus described, merchant ships sailed to the Arabian gulf. This fact coincided with the results of modern scientilio surveys, which showed that there had been a gradual rising of the land, -and that the Red sea once extended up to the walls of Pithom; thi -t must have been the case about 3000 years ago; and Sir William Dawson and the French engineer Linant held that it went even further north. The next place noted by M. Naville, was Baal Zephon, in identifying tnis, he had been aided through some recently discovered papyri, which proved that it was not a village or city, but an ancient shrine of Baal, and a noted place of pilgrimage. Other places were Migdol ana Pi Hahiroth, aud here again a papyrus had helped luiu.

It seemed probable that the Serapeuox was the Egyptian Maktal or Migdol, and it was greatly to be regretted that a bilingual tablet discovered there a few years asro had been destroyed before being deciphered. The bearing of his identifications was of no small interest to the students of history, both sacred a ad other. Sir John Coode, K. S. who had surveyed the canal for the British government, moved a vote of thanks to M.

The elder Dippold was a prominent character in the river eoal business twenty years ago. Like Monte Cristo's A Xew Torlt Convict Who Initiated a Hero of Komance. Daniel C. Curry, 29 years old, a member of the Eighth l'egiment.

National Guard, and a plasterer by trade, ajv peared unexpectedly at his home, ho. 210 Last One linudred and Tenth street, a fortnight or more ago, and astonished his wife, who supposed he was still a prisoner on Hart's island. Curry's neighbors thought his term of impnsonmeuthad expired. Cnrry himself kept his lips closed and enjoyed life amazingly. Policeman Pertell, of the Eighty-eighth street police, walked into the nouse on Tuesday, however, and arrested Curry on a charge of escaping from prison.

Curry was arraigned before Police Justico White iu the Harlem police court yesterday. A copy of the commitment showing that he had been sentenced on May 15 to Hart's island for a year was produced, and Curry was taken back to serve out the nnexpired term. How did Curry escape! That was the subject of an interesting story told in court by Curry and Keeper M. 8. Kohan, of Hart's island, who had ooaae to the city to get him.

Curry was a quiet prisoner. He soon won the favor of the keepers and was put to work with a gang in potter's field. Mauy liberties were permitted him that the others did not have. When the keeper called the men togdther at night, on June 26, and marched them to quarters Curry slid away and skulked along the hushes on the roadside until he reached the dead-bouse, where he pushed himself in through an open window and climbed over a pile of plain wooden coffins. Into one of the Collins he jumped, lying down, and drew the cover on.

until nisiiit he stayed in the colli n. Then he climbed, out, and finding the body of a man broughtthere for burial, proceeded to strip the corpse of its clothing. He clothed the body in his convict suit and put on the dead man's clothes. Then Curry stole out of the window and ran down to the shore to make his escape. A storm was gathering, and not a soul could be seen.

The waters tossed a heavy log apon the shore and Curry seized it and rolled it to one side. From a board fence near by the convict ripped od foor planks and lashed them together with rope -and seaweed picked np from the shore. He used no nails lest he should attract the attention of guards. Placing the boards on the log, he procured a long strip of wood, and mounting the rude rait, pushed olf from the shore and paddled southward in the storm. Three times he was thrown off.

bnt he succeeded in getting on the raft again and paddled along. He drifted down the sound opposite Berftan island, a distance of ten miles, when he was tossed from his raft and swam to the shore exhausted. It then was abont2 o'clock in the morning. It was mid-afternoon when Curry nailed three men in a row boat, whom he told that he had been out rowing and his boat sank. The boatmen took him to the city.

The keepers on the island did not discover Curry's escape until morning. They believed he had. tried to swim to City island, a distance of a mile and a half, and finally concluded that he had been drowned. Keeper JJohan learned at the Eighth Eegiment Armory, where the convict's wife lived. -He visited the house with Policeman Pertell and found Curry.
