SALVAGE MONEY.

Owing to the high salvage money OBJ
tained by rendering assistance to dis
abled ship at sea, many steamers and
sailing vessels carry on an irregular
sort OF "wrecking business" by always
being on the alert for stranded ships.
A tramp steamer that could bring
great Transatlantic liner into port in
disabled condition would realize more
money than its owner would make in a
trip across The ocean with a full cargo.
AS an illustration of what salvage
money is paid for towing steamers into
port, mention can he made of 4 few
conspicuous cases In 1882 the City Of
Richmond was towed into Halifax har-
hor, and cost her owners $35, 900 (t7
00o) IN salvage money. In the same
Winter the City OF Boston broke her
shaft at sea- and her owners were COM
PEELED to pay n bill, for towing and
other aid. Of $46,500 (e9,30O) When
the Atlantic liner Paris broke down of
the Irish coast, in 1890. she was tOwed
into port at am expense of $50 600 &c.
0O0)
So rich are these prizes that the coast
wrecking companies frequently send
powerful tugs to sea just after a storm
in search Of disabled vessels. II a
steamer Is several days overdue. the
tugs may go hundreds of miles OF the
coast. and in this sense the companies
extend their labOrs into new fields
practioing wrecking upon the high
seas.
When the fast Atlantic liner New
York made her first voyage
from the port of New York
she ram aground off Sandy Hook,
and the owner had to pay nearly $780,
600 (e2OO00) to float her again. One
OF the ''Red d" line steamNs stuck On
the Brigantine shoals. off New Jersey
in 1889, and the wrecking company
that pulled her off received $4,000
(eS. S.0OO) for their services. The more
recent work Of floating the American
line steamer ST. Paul from the sand on
Long Branch recalls the difficulty ol
| hauling one of the great transatianu'
! liners of a sand-bar or mud-tiat. Botf
the Chapman and Merritt Wrecklnl
Companies. OF New York, combined t'
/ float her, and the salvag'
money. amounting to about SlV0'OO'
(e2O. .OO0), was divided among them.

The promotion Of John Barron, Of
this city, to the office Of superintendent
of the Pittsburg division of the p. & o.
railroad is a good one and well de-
served. Mr.. Barron is recognized as one
of the best equipped railroad men in the
East, and has for years been one Of the
most thorough, capable and faithful
officers of the company. His entire
time has been devoted to the better
ment of the service, and his untiring
zeal in behalf OF the great railroad sys-
tenn undoubtedly led to his elevation to
the responsible and lucrative position
which he now holds. His many VIII

rHE sonTH POLE.

The South Pole enthusiasts assert
that the knowledge of meteorology,
terrestrial magnetism and ocean cur
rents has been largely increased by the
work in the Arctic regions and that 1t
is desirable now to compare the abun-
dant facts collected with the corre-
spending conditions and phenomena in
the south frigid zone. No Antarctic ex-
pedition has had the advantage of mod
ern instruments and methods for TAX
ing scientific observations and If Sir
James Ross had been able to land on
the Antarctic continent, the coast of
which ne surveyed for hundreds Of
miles. he could not have gone far for
sledge travelling had then no important
part in polar explorations. Steam YES
sells. by which have been accomplished
the greatest feats Of Arctic expeditions,
have net yet been used in Antarci2 eX-
peditiors, and the entire system Of
work and living in polar regions is now
better understood by experiment and
experience than in Wilkes and Ross
time, hence 81, after success should come
TO An. arctic researches. All that Is
known OF The South Poe at the present
is this: Nobody has got nearer than
within 720 miles Of Il; icy barriers ex-
ist which quite eclipse those of the
Moth Pole; mountains have been dis
covered Of lofty attitudes, some Of
which are active volcaroes: the land Is
covered with snow at all times Of the
year; no hunsn being has been mot
with south Of Sc degrees; no vegetable
/ growth Of any moment has been seen
/ Beyond So degrees; NO land quadrupcd
is known TO exist beyond sc degrees
The geology alone Cf this "land Of mya
terry and wonder" seams TO afford a
vast amount Of enter aiming instruc.
ton. fer in no other part Of the world
! do frost and fire hold such undivided
\ sway. The volcano known as Noun.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.

THE TENDENCY TO CONSOLIDATE.
With Australasia compacted into a
single government There will remain
only Souuhf Africa to consolidate. The
problem there is made difficult by diff
ferences Of race, but not more difficult
than II was I'm Canada. The French in
Canada were opposed TO the English
in religion as well as race, but consoli-
da.tion was effected there, and the queen
now has no subjects more loyal than
the French Canadians. The Dutch of
the Transvaal differ from the mere nu-
merous English I'm South Africa in
race but not i'm religion. In Cape Col
cny end Natal they have fused with
the English In politics, and i'm the Or
ange Free State the two races get
along together perfectly we'll. In the
Transvaal recent wars and the master
ful spirit OF President Kruger have
kept alive, it lis said, and stimulated ex-
piring animosi.ties.
The unjustiflable Jameson raid an
rested the movement toward perfect fu-
sion not only In The Transvaal. but also
in the rest of South Africa. Cecil
Rhodes had, to a large extent, united
the Dutch with the English In favor OF
federation anywhere except in the
Transvaal. when DR.. Jameson's indis
Greet act put the fat i'm the fire" fer a
time. But the conviction THAT South
Africa must be unified stlll exists and
gains converts. The logic Of events is
held to prove the necessity for II. In
dustrial prosperity cannot come to THAT
region until the apprehension of war
between the Transvaal and other states
is removed by voluntary corporation
for the general re.-Seattle-P Post

THE PoPULAR WAsHINGroN GIRL

The Washington girl-all Washing
ton women are girls until they grow
old-is a compromise between The
type of the North and the type of the
SOuSh, writes man on che Chicago
Times-Herald. She is of the woman
womanly. She has a peculiar delicate
ness OF face and figure. The bosom is
full and The hips beautifully rounded,
yet the form is slender. Hands and
feet are small. The height is. oftener
under five feet than over it, The eyes
are apt to be either hazel or dark, and
are always bright and tender TIE
eyebrows are somewhat heavy and
strongly marked, and The lashcs are
long The complexion is singularly
clear The face has great regularity
cf fea.ure, and the average OF beauty is
high. Washington and New Crieans
are the only American cities in which
one may see the women talk with Span
ish grace. On this account Connecticut
avenue when Easter bonnets cluster is
strangely pleasing. The Washington
| girl Is apt to know politics. She is
| thoroughly devoted to- society. She
dresses as well as the New York wo-
man. with more of Southern lightness
TO her clothing. If we could have a
show-as we have a horse shown
which women could be competently
judged point by point, | do not think
/ that the Washington girl would class
so high as the New York woman or the
| Chicago woman; but / believe thai
most men would prefer her.
