He resigned that place to accept

him, and relentless death clipped
the brittle thread Of life, liberating
his spirit from its tenement Of clay,

Vice-Admiral Makarow, of the Rus
sian navy, has been studying the con-
struction and use of powerful ice
breaking ships. At a recent meeting
of the Imperial Geographical Society
at st. Petersburg, he expressed his be-
lief that with two such ships, each of
10000 horsepower, acting together. a
line of free water communication could
be kept open in winter to the port of
ST. Petersburg and he added that they
could even force their way through the
glacial ocean if the thickness Of the
ice did not exceed twelve feet.
