The crew of six men took to the yawl boat and were discov- cred drifting down the lake to-day. Captain Barry of the life boat station here got his crew together and rescued them. The vessel with her cargo will no doubt be a total loss.

Negotiations Pending with Other
South American Countries to the

An interesting ceremony occurred

treaty relations were established be-

SIGNIFICANT STATISTICS.

Statisticians of the Treasury De-
partment are collecting data for use
of the administration and congress
next winter as to L. 5. trade relations
with gold and silver standard coun-
tries. The object of the inquiry is to
show wherein the interests of the
United States lie, and to establish the
fact, so that the public can under
stand it, that any backward step look
ing toward bi-metallism, as it is I'M
derstood by the free coinage element,
would be as disastrous to them as
their own commerce with the out
side world.
1t is expected that statistics will
show that between 80 and 95 per cent
of the transactions with the other
countries are settled upon gold ba-
sis, and the history of the last year
or two proves that the tendency
among silver standard nations is to
establish a gold basis and get in line
with the most advanced countries In
this regard. 1t will be shown that
since the price of silver has declined
to low point the trade relations of
the silver countries with the great
CONNIE rcial nations have been serl-
ously disturbed, and that in many cas-
es imports have been reduced in a re-
markable degree.

Rapid Oxidation of wood.

The fact that wood rapidly oxidizes
at certain high temperatures and be-
comes inf1amed is well attested. The
wood tagging which encircles locomo-
tive boilers has frequently been found
to have been burnt to coke, and in some
instances has actually taken fire on re-
moving the outer casing. Here the tenn
perature would not be over 800 degrees
Fahrenheit, and though the heat would
not of itself be sufficient to ignite wood
rapid oxidation at such temperature
must soon bring about sufficient heat to
cause ignition. The temperature at
which wood takes fire is computed at
600 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The
more oleaginous or resinous matter the
wood contains the greater its suscepti.
bi1ity to Inflammation, and this fact il
to be made account of in all calcula
tions.-Philadelphi Press.

COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM.

&OtUG 81 - K We
How Great Britain,a Railway. Are
All Effectively Managed.
Great Britain's 1900 miles of rail-
great system.
This is effected through the railway
clearing house, which adjusts the ac-
counts of the 200, 900 railway stations in
the kingdom. This institution was es-
tabished SIS years ago. Robert Stephen
son himself, few years after he built
the first successful steam locomotive,
was the chief mover in the Inaugural
ton of the railway clearing house.
Up to the time of its establishments
the several companies had conducted
their business independently They
had found it necessary to make certain
agreements for rebates in use of roll
ing stock when goods were transferred
from one road to another; but settle-
ments were difficult to adjust, and de-
lays many and vexatious.
So intoierable did the resulting dis
putes become that the leading COM
panies were at length induced to estab-
fish a central office for their adjust
ment. The first railroad clearing house
was opened January 2, 1S47, at small
house on Drummond street, London.
The system extended from London only
to Darlington in one direction and to
Manchester and Hull in another. The
business required a staff of only four
clerks.
In brief, the system is simply busi-
nesslike way of ascertaining the
amount of stock that has run upon the
different lines and of balancing the ac-
counts among the roads. 1t performs
the same function for the railroads that
a similar institution does for the banks.
The fundamental principles are that
passengers and freight shall be booked
through to their destination without
change of carriage from all principal
stations; that the companies shall pay
a fixed sum for the use of rolling stock
not their own, and that settlement shall
be made between the companies only
through the clearing house.
The advantages of the system became
apparent at once. Company after COM
pany has been drawn in, until now
practically all the roads of the United
Kingdom are included. The business is
done in a great building in Seymour
street, and requires force of 1850
clerks, besides 500 employees who are
scattered throughout the country.
The governing board is clearing
house committee made up of repre-
sentatives from each of the roads. The
representative is either the president
or a director of his line, whose interest
he watches with extreme vigilance.
From the decisions of this body there is
no appeal. There are subcommittee
also, whose work is the supervision of
the different activities of the clearing
house. The expense of maintaining the
establishment is divided among the
companies in the ratio of the business
transacted for them.-George B. Wall
dron, in Illustrated American.
