rivers and lakes are locked in ice be-

cred with snow and the white mantle
is over everything around them.
They are on the other side of terri
BILE barrier that shuts them out from
civilization and they must wait for
another season when the snow and
the ice melt and they can look for
what they are seeking. If they are
fortunate they will locate claim dur
ing the following season, and when
the third has come they will begin to
look for gold. If fortune favors them
they will find it. If not they will

FASTEST VESSEL AFLOAT.
The Wonderful Record Of tho Tor.
Ped0 Boat Turblnia.

PedO Boat Turbinia.
Scientific American.
1t is great triumph for the "rotary
impact" form of steam engine that
the first one of this type fitted to q
steamship should have driven it at a
speed far in excess of the worlds rec
ord, yet this is what has recently been
achieved by the engines of the torpedo
boat Turbinia.
This little vessel of 100 feet length,
9 feet beam and Al ton displacement
was built at Newcastle, England, spe-
cially for a marine trial of the COM
pound steam turbine designed by the
Hon. Charles Parsons. The Parsons
turbine utilizes the steam in three
stages and has shown remarkable
economy, an engine of this type which
is at work in the electric works,
Cambridge, England, having achieved
a consumption of ISL pounds of steam
per indicated horse power per hour.
The Turbinia was at first fitted with
a single engine and screw, and in the
trials the "cavitation," or vacuum
formed behind the propeller, was such
that very disappointing results
followed. The single turbine was re-
moved and replaced by three separate
turbines directly coupled to screw
shafts, the turbines being respectively
the high pressure, intermediate and
low pressure elements of triple ex-
pansion engine. The results were
truly remarkable, spee ed of 1876 knots
being realized.
After further experiment to deter
mine the proper pitch for the screws a
mean speed of 31.O1 knots an hour was
realized.
Nine days later the Turbinia realized
a speed of 32a knots an hour, thus sur
passing the worlds record by about
II knots. This is equivalent to 373
miles an hour, or equal to the average
speed of many so called express trains.

THE CABINET COMPLETE.


Mr.. Bliss of New York Finally Consented
To Be Member.
Washington, March 3.-It was while
taking late breakfast this morning
with Mr.. Mark Hanna that Mr.. Bliss
agreed to reconsider his determination to
remain In private life and consented to
enter Mr.. McKinley's cabinet as the rep
reser tative of New York state. 1t is
understood that the position to which be
Ia for the present assigned is the vacant
post of secretary of the interior.
But Mr.. Bliss's New York friends
want him to be secretary of the navy.
apd he would prefer that portfolio him
self. for the reason that he is not a
lawyer, and the tradition is that the post
Of secretary Of the interior shall lie ooou-
pied by a lawye'.
Ex-Governor John D. Long of Massa-
ohusets, who has been slated for secretary
of the navy, aud who did not expect to
reaoh here till some time tomorrow, has
been communicated with by telegraph
and asked to come TO Washington imnie-
dintely. 1t IL apparently the intention to
ask him to become secretary of the in
terror so as to leave the navy portfolio
open for Mr.. Bliss.

MADE FALSE ENTRIES.
Serious Charges Against An Ex-TOwn
Treasurer.

Leonard j. strout of Limington Placed in
an UnenviabIe Position-Selectmen Will
Have Affair Investigated.

settlement with Town Treasurer vii.
liam H.Sawyer. certain disclosures were
made which, If true, places ex-Treasule eI
Leonard LII. Strout in no enviable po-
sition.
1t appears by comparing the ledger
with the register of ord ers that Mr..
Strout Is guilty of false entries to his
credit. His manner of operating is like
this:
"Order No. sa2, to Charles A. Smith,
for repairs on schoolhouse, amt. $2l. 81.
Tha corrected order reads:
"No. 322, Charles A.Smitb, for repairs
on schoolhOuse, amt. 81. o."
The latter is the actual amount Mr.
Strout paid on order o.32s, but by plao'
ing the figure two in the tens of dollars,
he gave himself credit for paying out S2(
more than he did.
This seem to be Mr.. Strout's favorite
way of manipulating his accounts and
In the short time the officers had to ex-
anime the books they find, SO they
charge, the town has lost by Mr.. Strout
q number OF hundred dollars and may
reach into the thousands.
The seleotmen will take measures to
investigate the matter.
The oase il particuIarly hard one, as
Mr.. Strout is and has been leadin
man in town and is prominent mem

Mr.. Strout, it will be remembered, was
assaulted and robbed while he WAS town
treasurer, by Godfrey, who is now serv-
ing time in Thomaston. At that time.
