Nrv Support for Masfs.

A retired Sallorman, who had read an ar
ticle about the need of new rig for schoon-
ers, told a reporter that If shipbuilders would
get rid OF their old ideas about supporting and
staying the n,asts Of ships, and particularly
schooners, the problem of making the tall
spars of l 800 ton schooners secure would be
easily solved. The theory of using rope
shrouds of any sort is, he says, altogether
wrong. A steel or any sort of rope shroud,
when set up taut so as TO bring a strain on
the masthead, may have some tendency to
keep the head of the mast from bending away
from that side Of the dick but to counter
balance such benefit as this may give to the
mast it puts another sort of q strain on the
spar that easily accounts for the dismasting OF
these great vessels.
This strain is precisely the strain which the
cord puts on a bow-it serves to buckle the
mast. A careful examination Of the details
Of the disnosting of the big schooners show
that in almost every instance the spar was
buckled like a bow. 1t commonly breaks
twenty or thirty feet above deck. How could
it be otherwise when the strain OF the rigging
pulls the head Of the mast toward the heel
while the wind pressing against the sail bends
the middle of the mast out bow fashionl
The remedy for this condition Of affairs is
found in supporting the masts by stiff steel
web shores instead of by rope shrouds. The
difference in the sort Of support thus given
must be apparent at once. It is as if a pair
of shears was rigged TO support the mast. No
mast thus supported could buckle for there
would be no tendency to buckla--New York

Valerie, may be noted by writers of fiction
in quest of nsw incidents. The bird was ono
of those which are trained for service at the

" sailed from Pola to Corfu she took this
pigeon on board her yacht, having arranged
to let 1t fly with letter for her daughter at
a certain distance from the coast. IL was
supposed that the pigeon would return to
Pola, and orders were given 70 forward the
contents Of the letter which 1t carried unme-

the letter, which was no doubt blown off
with the shot, and SO, while he bore home the
empress winged messenger for supper, the
letter remoined on the ground. 1t was acci-

Missouri's Treasurer VIII Have Thorough
Investigation Given Him.

JEFFFRsoN CITY, Mo-, March 4.-There
Is nothing new AS regards the lnveStiga-
tion being made 10y Governor Francis into
the accounts of State Treasurer Noland,
nor will there be until the governor VIII
have completed the work. To-Day all the
state officers affirm their belief that no

Is general here today.

cluded the examination of Treasurer
Nolaud's books and suspended the treas
urer from official duty indefinitely. A
shortage in his accounts was found to
exist in the sum of about s32,0O0.
In an interview tonight, Governor Fran
els said: Il suspended Treasurer Noland
indefinitely this evening as n result OF
my investigation into his accounts which
revealed the existence of certain lrregu-
larities. Tire evidence OF these lrregu-
larities has been placed in the hands OF

which meets next Monday. According to
law | am required to appoint a comm'ttee

This / will do tomorrow.
When questioned as TO the amount of
the apparent deficit in the treasurer's ac-
counts, the governor stated that he was
not at liberty to state that even a deficit
existed. He preferred TO call it an irregu-
Ltuty.
Treasurer holland, in an interview to-
night, says: Il am not defauiter The
treasury contains al the states money
that ever came into my hands.
