There, too, is the fog, more dreaded by
mariners than the storm. At sea as well
rs on land there are certain routes along
which traffic goes If the clouds settle
down and caress the water, the ships bound
In opposite directions are liable to collide
despite all the precautions Of whistles and
lookouts. Besides Mother Earth changes
the sailors chart once in awhile through
volcanic action, and he has to lookout for
unknown reefs or is puzzled over the disap-
pearance Of some island or promontory
Then the captain may make mistake in
his calculations, and rs a result the bark
may be steered into the breakers instead of
along its intended course.
But, after the fog, as already said, the
storm is the fercest foe with which the
sailorman has to contend. ] give the fog
the preference as the chief terror Of the
deep, because either on sea or land the un-
seen is the most dreaded. In storm the
fight Is fair one between man and nature,
and mortal skill is pitted against the fury
of the elements. That was the case in the
recent memorable disaster on the China
seas when the stanch British ship Bokhara
went to the bottom of the ocean.
One Of the most interesting narratives of
the wreck is that given by DR.. J. \. Lowson,
Government Civil hospital, Hong Kong,
VINO was one OF lllt seven .)ttAn WI
escaped. He says in a statement to Il Lon
don reporter that the sea was simply awful
and the wind so strong that it was scarcely
possible to stand on deck. Seas from time
to time broke over the ship and carried ev-
erything movable on deck away. When
the passengers decided to try and make for
the shore DR. LOwson was washed against
the lower bridge by a wave struck on the
forehead and caught by the legs in some
ropes He was ducked below a great wave
and tried TO swallow water in order to lose
consciousness the quicker, when he found
himself on the surface. lie then struck out
for the shore, which was about $50 yards
away, and had a long swim before he was
Mt last thrown on shore. He had nothing
on but II torn pajama jacket and man
aged to crawl to little fishing hut, where
he lay shaking with cold,
Lieutenant Markham, Of the First Shrop-
shire Light infantry, fell in with DR.. Low
son on the following morning. He had
had very similar experiences and when
some Chinese came to look for wreckage
persuaded them to take the doctor and
himself to their island. The natives treated
the survivors very kindly, but the mandarin
of Maltung treated them with the greatest
tivility and hospitality, even bringing out
champagne in their honor
Just before the BOkhara sank one of the
most affecting scenes imaginable occurred,
and yet it Is not unfamiliar to those who

thing possible had been done, but without

,came on deck. There was no panic then.
The women did not scream or dash about,
nor were the men very much frightened.
Six hours after the accident, at noon, the
captain came to the dining room, where we
were all gathered and told us that the
pumps were working successfully, and that
he Thought he had the water under control.
We passed ship the day before, he said,
and by o'clock 1t should catch up with us,
The men and women then went on deck,
and walking up and down, watches in
hand, looked for the expected sail.
Hour after hour passed with no sign OF
rescue Each roll seemed her last. Yet
1t was her salvation, the officers said, to
keep her rolling. She was kept in the
trough Of the sen. II she had been pitching,
one plunge might have sent the water into
the hold, breaking forward, and that would
have been the last Of her. Night came on
with the passengers still scanning the sea.

Sabbath morning broke. The watch on

The ship proved to be the Lake Huron,
which towed the Spree into Queenstown.
According to astandard authority, at least
1000 American and English vessels are
wrecked each year. The record from 1854
to 1879 regarding British ships alone has
been accurately compiled and shows that
in that quarter Of century 1882 vessels
were lost and 1880 people met their death.
The perils Of the deep are often not pleas

roar, the boat croaks and labors in the

4 solution of the Problem of Poverty.

The German system Of poor relief known
as "the Elberfeld system" is accepted by
many Of our greatest economists as the
most satisfactory system that has ever
been devised. 1t is in operation in at least
thirty-siX German towns and cities.
The leading facts about this interesting
system are that the superintendent Of poor
relief is a trained expert who is chosen for
life is paid for his services, and is eligible
tothe pension list Under him are a group
of men that are elected TO aid him, and
these are among the foremost men in each
town, such as bank presidents, lawyers,
preachers and presidents Of universities,
successful merchants-in general the most
important and influential citizens. Under
the direction of this body large number
of visitors Of the poor are selected 10 serve
without payment, and among these also
are many Of the best citizens Of the town.
Then the town or city is divided into small
sections, block or two being section,
and in ench section there is a man whose
duty it Is to know personally the condition
OF every poor resident and in case of want
10 make personal investigation.
This personal investigation Is reported TO
the committee OF which he Is a member,
and this committee provides immediate
relief ia case Of dire need, and then the
case Is reported 10 all its details TO still
larger committee, and whatever Is deemed
advisable Is done IN each oase-somctimes
