Newport, - Arkansas•
To hoist to the cat-head an anchor
weighing 8,000 pounds, with.a gale of
wind blowing and a tremendous sea
rising, is a difficult task. ,• The New York
Sun tells how this work was under
taken on a war-ship in Hampton Roads,
in order to raise the anchor to the deck
of the ship the hundred-pound cat-block
had to be fastened by the hugs hook
which depended from it to the ribs la
the balancing band on the anchor shank
eo that the power of the winch could be
utilized.
The great anchor hung so that when
the wave receded it was clear of the
water, but each incoming crest sub
merged It several feet As the ship
tossed on the waves there was great
danger that the enormous weight of
the anchor would send the anchor
through her thin plating. But with
seas big enough to toss the ship about
as easily as if she were but a fishing
float, and to awing that anchor back and
forth like the pendulum of a toy clock.
It was no child's game to hook the cat
block.
Two men were chosen, each a fine
specimen of the American eallor. Just
under the arms of each a line was made
fast, and men on deck stood ready to
haul away in case of need.
The two sailors watched their chance,
and when the ship's head was well out j
of water, over they went They had;
hardly reached the anchor when a wave
rolled In that surged four feet above j
their heads. When It passed both were !
clinging, almost breathless, to the shank
of the anchor.
But the instant they were clear of wa
fer thev iilmnert t.n their work and
strove to get the block In place. With
the ship hauling one way and the wind
blowing another there was small chance
for them to drag that hundred-pound
block In still a third way. Again and
again they had It. almost fastened, when
a great wave knocked tt away and bur-!
led them far out of sight Still the two
men struggled at their task.
Then the Inevitable happened. The
great cat-block swung far out as the
ship plunged forward, hung poised an;
Instant, as If taking deliberate aim,
and came sweeping back straight at the'
bead of one of the two men. It struck j
him on the back of the head and j
knocked him ten feet‘from the anchor
Into the sea.
The rush of on Incoming wave swept;
him away from the ship, and for a mo
ment It' seemed as If he would surely
be lost Then was Justified the wis
dom which had planed the line about
his shouldera. The men on deck drew
him In, unconscious hut safe, and In
ten minutes he was declaring to the of.
fleer In charge that he could surely hook
that block the next time.
But the captain had formed another
plan. He determined to haul up the
anchor as far as was possible, so that
tt should have the smallest room tor
play, and to make harbor. lust at
nightfall she reached quiet waters, and
once more the unruly anchor *ks let j
go again.

People who concern themselves with
artistic copyright w ould do well to con*
aider a case that came under my notice
th« other day, sriys a writer in the
London Graphic. A picture was sold to
a Mr\ A. and the copyright to o Mr. i
B. At the close of the exhibition of;
the Royal Academy the picture was
sent to Mr. A., who paid for the pic-1
ture, and at the same time Mr. B. paid
for the Copyright. After a time Mr.!
B. applied for the loan of the picture
in order to have it engraved.; but Mr.
A. absolutely declined to lend the
picture on any terms whatever. Ee ac
knowledged that he did not possess the
copyright, and said that he did not
want it, but he was not such a fool as
to give a good round sum for a work of
art is order that he might lend it to
other people. He said be bought It te
