When asked about the accidents
which have occurred he said:
We have had no accidents to our
men, but our surface apparatus has had
some. Flood Rock has often been ba;
tered by collisions. The City of Albany,
several Years ago, rode right across our
drill scow, her paddle wheel walking
over il as if il were so mach water.
Our drill scOw has sent many vessel to
the bottom. She was built especially TO
resist collisions, and las been carried
away from her mOOrings as many as
four times in one day, but when she is
not damaged her enemy goes to the bot
tom. Ten years ago the Government
let its only contract to private parties
10 do this kind of work. That was the
Sherburn contract to remove the Fry.
ing Pan shoals. We fShed out the re-
mains Of the dredge few days ago.
The very first day it was anchored in
place collision wrecked it and destroy
ed all the outfit. The currents of Hell
Gate are so swift and the traffic is so
heavy that only the iittest surface ap-
paratus survives, and then only by
wrecking everything that eollides with
it. In still water this job could have
been done much cheaper with surface
apparatus, but owing to collisions,
nothing short OF our Notifications which
We have put up here could have got cut

jumping waterfalls.

Prof. Landmark, chief Director Of
the Norwegian Fisheries, has published
some interesting particulars of his STU
dies Of the capability of salmon to jump
waterfalls. He IS of opinion that the
jump depends as much on the height of
tie fall as on the currents below it. If
there be deep poolrigh under the fall,
where the water is comparatively quiet,
salmon may jump sixteen feet perpen-
dicularly, but such jumps are rare, and
he can only state with certainty that il
has taken place in the Hellefos. in the
DRAINS river, at Haugsend, where two
great maSts have been placed across the
river for the study of the habits of the
salmon, so that exact measurements
may be effected. The height of the
water in the river, of course, varies, but
it is rule, when the salmon is running
up stream, 10 feet below these masts.
The distance between the two is 81 feet,
and the Professor states thet he has seen
salmon from the river below jump
across both mastS. AS another exam
pie of high jumping, he mentions some
instances of Carratunk waterfall, Reum-
bee, IN North America. where jumps of
II feet have been recorded. Professor
Landmark further states that when a
salmon jumps fall nearly perpendicu-
!dr in shape it is sometimes able to re-
main in the fall, even if the jump is a
foot or two short of the actual height.
This, he maintains, has been proved by
an overwhelming quantity o: ::evidence.
The fish may then be seen to stand for "a
minute or two foot or so below the
edge of the fall in the same spot, in a
trembling motion, when with a smart
twitch of the tail the rest of the fall is
cleared. But only fish which strike the
fall straight with the snout are able to
remain in the falling mass of water; if
it is struck obliquely, the fish is carried
back into the stream below. This Pre-
fessor Landmark believes to be the ex-
PLANTATION of salmon passing falls with
clear descent of sixteen feet. The Pro-
fessor believes that this is the extreme
jump salmon is capable of, and points
out that, of course, not all are capable
of performing this feat.

quiet In the house
Grear drops OF agony stood upon
Naria's brow as she listened 70 this dis
closure. To have been betrayed by
her lover WAS far more terrible than
the actual danger 70 herself. Scarcely
believing her ears. she staggered TO her
feet, and selecting a by-patb leading 20
her home by shorter way than she
had come sped Ike deer along it.
To reach the cottage and warn her
father before Jonas could return was
now her one desire. Beyond that all
was dark.
Soon after the clock in Holmsland
Church tower had struck L band OF
men crossed the ford TO the sand-bank
on the opposite side, under black and
staTless sky. The wind mOaned along
the shore, and the waves came rolling
in with a gloomy sound. just such
night it was as that in which Jonas had
accompanied the fisherman in his
search fer amber. The men, well
armed and vigorous, were headed by
fierce old Ring himself, whose heart
beat nigh with the hope of vengeance.
In his hand he held drawn sword,
ana exhortrng his band 10 silence, he
led the way to the fisheTman's cottage.
In Sans house not a sound was heard.
and lamp burned in the window to-
ward the road.
THAT'S my brave boy, said Ring,
turning to the others exultingly. Il
knew | could deDend upon him to set
the signal there, even at the sacrifice Of
mis- silly infatuatiOn for the girl.
Lucky for me that the notion came in
To my head last winter TO make this
rowing blade OF mine, who had Just re-
turned from a long sea-vOyage pretend
to be a survivor Of the wreck in order
to gain footing in Sans house. By
this means I've found out not only how
the rascal cOntrIyed to FISH up amber,
but where the stolen goods are kept.
Follow me In silence and We'll soon
catch a fine rat in our trap. Sam shall
swing for it if I'm fool enough to let
the girl go free"
Pushing open the door Of Sans cot
tage. Ring saw, hanging by cord
from the centre of tie ceiling beam,
the lifeless form of his own son Jonas.
The fisherman, his daughter, and all
their store of amber had disappeared,
leaving not a trace behind. Nor were
they ever again heard of in HOlmsland

While the National Guard was in Wash
ington attending the Inauguration ceremo-
nies, a member of Company a, 9Th Regi-
ment, stationed at E6ensburg became in
tOxicated and while in tnat condition the
Colonel of the regiment ordered him to be
stripped OF his uniform, and he was left
with nothing on his person except a shirt
ard pair of drawers. RemonstTances were
of no avail with the Colonel, and his COM
rades took up a collection and purchased the
caIprit a suit of clothes. While military
discipline is all right in its way, we believe
the Colonel was too harsh in his treatment
of the offender. In these piping times of
peace" such measures are calculated to do
harm rather than good to the National
Guard. Drunkenness is one of the worst
drawbacks the guard has to contend against,
but if the crime is to be punished in such a
stringent manner 1t would be we'll To begin
with some of the members who wear shoul-

the rank and hle by any means. If a strict

to convince him that the private soldier was
not the only whisky guzzler. ~ Holidays

Terrible Railroad Accident.

A disastrous freight wreck occurred Oh
Thursday Of last week on the Pennsylvania
railroad near AllegrIppus. by which one
man, John Michaels, was instantly killed,
ana three others badly injured. The train
consisting OF thirty five cars had just
emerged from the east end of the tunnel
when a coupling broke, leaving four cars on
which were the flagmsn and one brakeman.
The balance of the train consisting of the
engine and thirty one loaded cars. went on
down the mountain with Engineer James
Fox, Fireman c. L. Bergman, Of Altoona.
aud Conductor Bert Hatch and Brakeman
Nagle, of Derry, on the train. The four
men left or were not sufficient to manage
the large train aud the increasing speed of
the train caused the engineer to repeatedly
whistle fOr down brakes without any appar-
ent answer when he reversed his engine, but
the momentum of the train was still in
creasng until the red lights of train ahead
running 10 the same direction but at a much
slower rate, warned the engineer that col
lision was inevitable. He jumped from his
engine and was thrown across the ties and
badly hurt. being cut all over the head and
face, one thumb broken and bruised about
the body, but still was able 20 climb a pole
on which lamp was hanging and 90 back
and signal another approaching train. -
When the cars struck the train ahead they
were piled up and smashed in an indescrib-
able mass and the flagman of the first train,
John Michaels. was crushed among the de-
bris. Conductor Hatch was injured inter-
nalIy, while Fireman Bergman had his wrist
broken aud was also cut and bruised about
tue head and body. John Mchaes the man
killed, was a son of II. B Micbaels, of Con-
