Public experiments have been made

But instead of moving about from place
to place each is TO be supplied with

wire similar TO those upon which hangs
the Brooklyn bridge, but smaller.
Three Of these cables will hang from
each side OF the vessel and the other
two from front and rear, all at angles
OF 45 degrees with the ships sides, and
each will be fastened by immense an

WEEDS HIS DIVORCED WIFE.

Matthew g. EOrdcn, Son OF Million

Two years in Europe were not enough

The young man became infatuated
with Mildred Negbauer daughter of
New Haven merchant tailor, during his
course at Yale, and married her in that
year. The event happened at the New
London boat race between Yale and
Harvard, Borden taking the young lady
to the event and proposing marriage.
While there they were welded, Borden

Papa Borden heard of the event he

South Dakota while she was waiting

ANOTHER wARsHIp DISABLED.
Indiana Suffers Damage in Careless

Indiana Suffers Damage in Careless
ness In Docking at Halifax.
A Washington special to the New
York Journal and Advertiser says: The
matter of the docking of the Indiana
Mt Halifax is now before the navy de-
partment in q report from Capt. Taylor,
her commanding officer. The depart
ment officials try to make light of the
matter, but it is declared, nevertheless,
that the damage is really serious, which
will require extensive repairs as soon
as the vessel can be detached from the
squadron of evolution,
Although the docking was in charge
of Constructor Bowles, Of the New York
navy yard, who had been sent to Hall.
fax for that express purpose, the safety
of the battle ship was endangered by
the failure of those in charge Of the
docking to observe the simple precau-
ton Of placing sufficient blocks under
those places along the keel where the
greatest weight should naturally come.
The distance between the keel blocks,
which are made of heavy oak timber,
seems to have been too wide to support
tie enormous weight which vessels of
the Indiana class is concentrated on the
lines of the turrets. After the ship had
been in the dock for few hours it was
discovered that the keel was cutting
through the oak blocks and that there
was bulge under the forward turret.
Steps were at once taken to shore up
that part of the vessel to prevent further
settling.
The ends of the blocks which had been
crushed, had been forced up and had
indented the plating of the ship about
six inches in length and about one-half
OF an inch in depth on both sides.
Officers who are in the secret of the
matter say that an investigation to fix
the responsibility for this accident will
have to be called, The dock officials at
Halifax are known to have expressed
regret, feeling that there may be dis
position in the United States to think
them capable of Intentionally allowing
the safety of the American battle ship
to be placed in jeopardy, when such was
not the case.

STUDYING THE INDIANS.
Work of DR.. Boaz and DR.. Farrand
In Fri .ish Columbia
Trying to Ascertain Origin OF Coast
Indians and Whether They Are
Connected with the ASH
attic Coast.

DR.. Franz Boaz, who for ten years has
been making study of British Column
bin Indians for the British association
and who also heads the expedition
which the American museum of natural
history sent out last spring, is again
in Victoria, B. c., with DR.. Farraud, who
is also engaged in the work of collect
ing information about the Indians. He
came down from the north on the steam
er Tees.
Since last year the two scientists have
covered an immense territory, first go
ing to the interior of the province and
then coming out to the northern coast.
The work in the north was largely de-
voted to the physical types OF the abb
origines and measurements, casts and
photographs were taken, which will be
the subject of later investigation. DR..
Farrand made n study of the customs
and traditions of the Chillat Indians
at Port Essington. DR.. Boaz paid par
ticular attention to the art, paintings
and carvings of Indians, endeavoring to
fathom their meaning. While at Rivers
Inlet study of the native language was
made. At Bella Bella Mr.. Farrand gath
cred much information as to serial or
ganization and family history. Incl
dentally, number of specimens were
secured, but information was what was
principally sought. The work done in
the interior was a continuation of the
work of the British association, which
they have been carrying on since 1887,
when Dr. Boaz made his first visit, while
that on the coast was prosecuted for the
American museum of natural history
at New York, Morris X. Jessup, presi-
dent of the museum, bearing the cost
The idea is to ascertain the origin of
the coast Indians and whether any re-
lationship exists between them and ma
tives of the Asiatic coast.
Study will be made of Indians from
the Columbia river to Dehring straits
and down along the Asiatic coast to
lower Siberia. From what is known of
the traditions and customs of natives
OF the two coasts, DR.. Boaz is convinced
that they are related, and that the first
Indians on this side of the Pacific came
from Siberia.
The scientists will be there again next
summer and probably for many sum-
mers more before the vast field is COW

years, it is said, only two persons have
been in 1t.
Now an intelligent effort is to be

Text OF Burial Permit from n Mo-

Even the Mohammedan judges and
courts in their official communications
with Christians formerly showed the
contempt in which they held them, A
Syrian paper reproduces a burial per-
NIT which the court in Dlarbekr grant
cd for a certain Jacob, Christian Of
the Greek Orthodox church, who had
died. 1t was addressed to the bishop
and read thus: "0h, thou of hideous
appearance! We are informed that the
accused blasphemer-Rafr-pf your
abominable sect has died like an animal,
and has gone to perdition. The chief
of his quarter has asked for permit
to bury his unclean carcass, and the
fee for the permit has been paid. We
know that the said blasphemer Jacob
has gone to hell, and we doubt whether
the earth will be willing to hold his re-
mains, but we grant the permit for his
burial in order that the air should not
become contaminated. You are, there
fore, permitted to bury him in the dust
heap or cemetery of your sect, accord
ing to your own religious rites"

TO MAKE HAULING EASY,

Experiments in the Use of Steel
TracISways on Wagon Roads.
In accordance with the desire of the
secretary of agriculture to promote
more extended experiments in the
use of steel trOckways on wagon roads,
the Office of road inquiry has made
arrangements with the Cambria iron
works, of Johnstown, Pa, for rolling
special rails for this purpose, these ar
engagements to go into effect as soon
as definite orders from responsible par
ties amounting to one mile of track
are received.
The director of road inquiry and the
engineers of the iron company, after
much discussion, have agreed upon a
plan of track which promises to meet
all requirements, 1t uses no wood in
construction and no cross ties for sup
port, but consists of simple inverted
trough or channel of steel for each
wheel with slightly raised bead on
the inside to guide the wheels, each
channel resting in bed of gravel and
the two tied together occasionally to
prevent spreading.
Special devices for remounting are
provided at each joint. The bearings
or tread for wheels is eight inches wide,
the thickness about seyen-sixteenths of
an inch. The weight Of the structure
is about 100 tons per mile of single
track road and it will be furnished in
small sections at the rate Of $500 per
mile,
The first order for track has been
given by the New York State Agri-
