Bark Boats.

Everybody is familiar with the birch
bark boats, or canoes, of the American
Indians. but the fact is lot so well
known that some of the aboriginal in
habitants of the western shore of this
continent were accustomed to make
boats Of pine bark. A model of one of
these in the Smithsonian museum sery-
ed recently as a text for n talk by Prof.
Otis 4. Mason on the evolution of boats.
The boat in question was, lie said, an
exact representation of those in use
along certain parts of the Columbia
river. 1t is made of the whole skin of
a pine tree. which is turned inside out,
the ends being cut obliquely and drawn
together in such a manner that the YES
sci has a pointed ram under water ut
each end. Directly across the Pacific
ocean from the Columbia is the River
Amur in Asia. Prof. Mason thinks the
fact that similar boats are found on the
Amur may have a bearing on the prob
lem of former emigration from Asia to
North America.

From h Sea.

In 1888 the surface of Holland COW
cred an area of no more than S.76S
square miles. BY October 20, 1877, at
the conclusion Of a survey, it was
found that so ylst a quantity of land
had during those forty-four years been
recovered from the sea that the area
had increased 10 1881 square miles.
The Dutch have for some time been
considering a project for draining the
Zlyder Zee. 1t is proposed to reclaim
from the sea about 100000 acres. the
value OF which is estimated at 326, OOO,-
COO guilders. The cost of this import
ant work is estimated at 1S9.00O,OO0
guilders. or, With the accumulated ex-
penditurc, including measures of de-
Tense and payment of compensation to
the fishermen II the Zee, at 315, 100000
guilders. 1t was stated in 1860 that the
work would lake tllirty-onc years, and
that every year 10000 hectares of land
would he restored to cultivation. Part
of the scheme suggested n large dyke
thirty miles in length. from the eX.
IRENE end Of North Holland to the
western coast Of Fricsland. This dyke,
30 meters al the base and g meters
high. would lake nine years to build.

she will get the benefit of the power
of II steamer in front of her. In old
time races this was Il favorite trick,
and that it has moi been forgotten even
IN this late day was shown recently.
The boat ahead was the larger and
faster in deep water. She was going
at the usual rate of speed. Another
steamer OF light draft, smaller and per-
haps n tritie faster in shallow water,
bound the same way, came up OH the
port quarter of the other Just enough
out of h way to avoid the current
from the Wheel of the other. but still
close enough to get the benefit of the
suction caused by her displacement as
she moved through: the water. Finally,
the run being all the time made in river
water, the stern steamer gave a squirt
II slowly passed the other and beat
her II short distance to the dock.
The danger of this close proximity of
the W. is that should the boat ahead
part her wheel chains, take Il sheer to
port and drift across the bow of the
other, the great speed of the stern
steamer would have sent her crashing
through the other with great loss of
life and property. Still another obiec.

when e was great distress among

empire. 1t was designed as a way to
secure to b STRIVING some means OF
Immediate relief, and by putting the
rate of Interest az low as possible and
the valuations as high as possible. and
embodying in tie system every nd
vantage that cord be given to those
who sought to mase loans, it was found
to be so cnectiv- that 1t soon gained
the Imperial SANCTION, and it was not
long until its raanagers were made
pubic off1cials uader the direction Of
the Minister Of te Interior. This is
substantially the status of the institu-
ton at this time. Tie rates are so low
that the business done on the cheap
goods and chattGs of the poor could
not possibly maze the establishment
self-sustaining; hut people who have
been suddenly reduced in circum-

raised keep tine margins ON the right

"whateyer fine extent or gravity OF

"Whatever the extent or gravity Of

stances amputates the injured limb,
but merely wraps it in antisepttc sub
stances by a veritable embalming pro-
cess. leaving nature to separate the
dead from the living tissues. This

BILE advantage of being much less fatal
than surgical c%Xaresis, and of preserv-
ing for the use of the patient, If not the
entire limb, at any rate a much larger
part than would he left by amputation.
"He advocates this very cOnserva-
tive treatment OIL account of the excel
lent effects of hot water, which he uses
freely. After the skin has been shaved
and cleansed from all fatty substances
by ether, etc., in the usual way a jet of
hot water 60 to 81 degrees C. GAO to IA
degrees), but not higher, is made to ir-
ritlte all the injured surfaces and to
penetrate into all the hollows and un-
der the detached parts of the wound
without exception. This is the only
way of removing all clots and to wash
away all foreign bodies, together with
the micro-organisms they may contain.
The advantages Of hot water at this
high temperature are tlree-fold: First,
hot water at this temperature is anti
septic, heat greatly Increases the po-
tency of antiseptic substances; second,
1t is hcmostatic Understanding; third,
1t helps to compensate for the loss of
heat resulting from the bleeding. and
especially from the traumatic shock.
After the 'embalming" process, and
the dead tissue has been separated
from the living, the surgeon has moth
ing to do except to divide the bone Mt a
suitable spot. According to Reclus the
results attained are remarkable"

San Francisco, Nov. 23.-The coal
bunkers in the United States battleship
Oregon caught fire Sunday evening from

eight hours the crew worked with a
vengeance TO smother what looked like
a costly blaze. There were over ESQ tons
of coal in the vessel and prompt fction

from water leaking into the coal bunkers
This would eventually cause "a terrible
heat from accommodating gas. Luckily.
the fire was discovered before IL had
gained much headway.
An alarm was sounded and orders Were
issued TO remove tho coal from the vessel
TO the wharf Steam pipes were attached
and connected with the lower part of the
vessel in an attempt TO smother what fire
might have been in other parts of the
ship.
The men went to work with a will but
the task was larger than had at first been
supposed. The work was done with diff
Guilty as the smoke hindered the men in
their attempts to quickly put out the
blaze.
During the whole night. after the fire
had been discovered, the entire crew
labored in removing the smoking and
blazing coal ana it was not until day
break that the men were allowed 30 leave
their work. The warship will be dry
docked within "a few days and righted.
After she will be coaled and her ammuni-
tion placed on board. when she will be
ready for action.
