The steamer Now Five Days Overdue
and the TeutOnic Two Days.

rbe steamer Now Five Days Overdue
and the TeutOnic Two Days.
New York, Feb s.--This morning the
French line steamer La Gascogne from
Havre was five days overdue and the
White Star Liner Teutonic from Liver
pool ana Queenstown is two days over
due. NO vessel has been reported by the
Sandy Hook observer since last evening"
when the steamer Old Dominion from
Richmond, passed in.
Had the missing steamers approached
the coast during the night they would
undoubtedly have anchored outside Of
sight and hearing as is their custom in
heavy snow storms or foggy weather
AZ Sandy Hook the observer reports the
wind blowing off shore at the rate of
56 miles per hour ana that the air is filled
with snow, which makes 1t impossible to
SEQ any distance.
The life saving stations report the
coast clear from Sandy Hook 10 Long
Branch.
Telegraphic communication with the
Fire Island observatory ls stin interrupted
the only means Of getting reports from
that point being through the life saving
stations telephone, and these will be con-
siderably delayed on account of the num-
erous relays necessary The weather con-
ditons at Fire Island are the same as
those al Sandy Hook and 1t Is doubtful II
the observer will be able to sight anything
unless 1t should be dangerously near
shore. In this bowling blizzard It would be
difficult for the observer at Fire Island to
hear the whistles Of a passing steamer.
New York. Feb. Q, 2 a. m.-No news
has been received as yet from the La
Gascogne, nor the Teutonic. The latter
Is now three and a half days overdue.

DIG DRIFTS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Scores of Trains showed In-The
Rivers Frozen Over.


Philadelphia, Feb. s.-The entire Penn
sylvania system from New York to Wash
ington in the east, and as far west as
Pittsburg, is seriously crippled because
of snow drifts. In some places, particu-
larly at Mifiin, 40 miles west Of Harris
burg the snow has drifted as high as the
car tops. A few trains on the various dt-
visions departed from Philadelphia this
morning, but the drifts interrupted their
progress at intervals on every few miles.
Thus far no accidents have been re-
ported.
The western, southern, western and
Pacific express trains which left here
respectively. were snow bound all night
in the neighborhood of Downington. This
morning workmen succeeded in clearing
the tracks, and the trains proceeded
slowly, arriving at Harrisburg shortly be-
fore noon. 1t is not believed that they can
get farther west than Miffiin, as several
trains have been snow bound there since
last night.
The snow has drifted badly on the IA
nous Horse Shoe curve. which IS in the
Allegheny mountains, five miles west OF
Altoona, and a freight train was stalled
throughout the night at that place. AS a
liberal supply Of coal was put Oh all trains
before their departure last night, there
was no suffering among the belated pas
sengers or train crews.
On the New York division and on the
Maryland division the situation is prac-
tically the same as on the main line as
regards Irregular train service, although
the drifts are not so bad. The high winds
blow the snow into heaps on the tracks
almost as fast as workmen clear it
away, and the cold is growing more in
tense hourly.
Luckily the telegraph wires over the
Pennsylvania road are in fairly good
shape, thus making It possible to direct
the movements of trains from Central
points. and lessening the possibility OF ac-
cidents.
The Reading road is also IN bad shape,
particularly at Reading and In the coal
regions.

An Appropriation Not Apt to Ne
Made by This Congress.
Washington. Feb. S.-Senator Walsh IL
trying TO have a provision inserted in tho
sundry civil appropriation bill providing
for the establishment OF an anchorage Ia
the Tybea roads in accordance with ths
recommendations OF the chamber of com-
merce OF Savannah. and the shipping in
terosts OF that point The difficulty ap-
pears to be that the work was not in
cluded in the regular estimates submitted
by the Secretary OF the Treasury, and
therefore II Is necessary to have a special
act passed with the recommendation OF
the commerce committee. Senator Walsh
to-day polled that committee In the Senate
with the hope of getting them TO en-
dorse IL so that a provision might be
placed in the appropriation BILL 1t ap-
pears that Senator Ransom, chairman of
the committee, voiced the sentiment OF
the committee when he informed Senator
Walsh that such an important project
would have to be provided for In the reg
ular river and harbor bill. Under the cir
cumstances 1t Is probable that the friends
Of the Tybee anchorage will have to wait
until the next congress frames a river and
harbOr bill.

Tho Railroad Kidney.

This complaint is now recognized
by medical men. It is caused by IN
artificial stoppage Of the pores of
the skin. If any person will exam
inc his hand after riding for two or
three hours in q train-and this is
especially true If he be perspiring-
he will find his hand ia dirty. But q
closer examination will show tho ex-
istencs of flne CRIME, the PARTICLES
of which, so soon rs the Precipitation
ceases, act as minute oorks stopping
up the oriAoes of the pores. How
deeply this CRIME works into the
skin is shown by the fact that after
a railroad trip one washes ones
hands and face two or three times
before they become clean. II Is this
CRIME which produces railroad kid
ney. OF course it is not supposed
that an ordinary healthy person will
contract this disease in a trip of
day or two. But where person is
already q sufferer from chronic dis
ease of the kidneys It is possible
that a week on railroad trains would
aggravate his malady to An appre
ciable extent.-London Public Opin

Wooden HAtS,

A Massachusetts, inventor has pat
ented machine which il supplied
with fine planning teeth. A log OF
wood cut square is fed to 1t, and
when the log passes through 1t has
furnished 100 strips Of wood much
resembling excelsior. Their length
of course is that OF the log. It Ia
claimed that these when moistened
can be woven much more readily
than straw and make as durable q
hat.
The inventor says it is twice as
light as straw, and that because Of
it's easier manipulation and cheape,
cost 1t will supersede the straw now
used for the construction Of head
gear. Even women's Leghorn hats
and the finest Panamas may become
possible for those who can't affori
them now.-New York World.

About Rerottinx Plants.

The owner of fine palm which
had adorned her drawing room all
winter asked a florists advice about
reporting 1T before setting it in the
garden for the summer. He exam
med the earth and the roots and said
as long as the latter were only just
appearing at the bottom of the pot
that it was large enough to hold the
plant for a year yet. He then gave
her some hints as to the potting of
flowers which may be Of value in
future to other amateur gardeners.
He said that deoomposed manure
should first be put into the fowerpot
and then the fbrous part of the sod,
packed down closely, was an excel
lent foundation on which to add the
earth. In Scott's Journal is recorded
a suggestion of a gardener as to the
treatment of plants when one fears
frost, that they should be watered
before shutdown
