A most phenomenal island is that Of
Bornhohn, in the Baltic, belonging to
the kingdom of Denmark. 1t is IA
nous for it's geological peculiarities,
consisting as it does almost entirely Of
magnetic, and it's magnetic influence
is not only very well known to the
navigators of those waters, but also
much feared by them, on account Of
it's influence on the magnetic needles,
which make the steering of a ship
correctly a matter of much difficulty.
In fact, this influence is felt even at a
distance of miles, and so palpably
that, on the island being sighted by
mariners on the Baltic, they at once
discontinue steering their course by
the needle, and turn, instead, to the
well-known lighthouses and other
holds to direct their craft. Between
Bornhohn and the mainland there is
also bank of rock under water, which
is very dangerous to navigation, and
because of it's being constantly sub

One of them, the committee decided.

about S, 900 900 each. though TO. the fiscal
year covered in the bill the amount of ex-
penditure may not exceed $1,000. 0OO0 each.
An important question was raised as to
whether the expenditures for the new
ships should be betrayed out Of the $50
600 600 emergency bill. but this subject was
passed over.
The committee also agreed on a provis-
ion authorizing the secretary of the navy
to purchase armor plate. by contract or
otherwise, at a cost of not exceeding 500
per ton. This was agreed to. however.
only on the express proviso that this item

which q large outside percentage hereto

This limit of armor contract price has
been generally expected and. with the ex-

Charleston for Key West and the Foote
from Norfolk for the same.
The commandant Of the Mare island
navy yard reported that the cruiser Mo-
hican had sailed with her cargo of am
munition, which she will tranship at Hon.
olulu to the Baltimore for the Asiatic
squadron. The naval officers who are en-
deavoring to effect the purchase of ships
abroad have encountered an obstacle that
promises to give some trouble. This is
found in the difference between the cali
bers Of the guns mounted on foreign built
ships and the United States navy stand
ards. Not only do~these guns differ in cali
Der from our own in most cases, but as
they are almost all designed for the use Of
smokeless powder their combustion cham
bers are too small to use the ordinary
brown powder with which the American
navy is still supplied.
Must Buy Powder Abroad.
This obstacle is serious. but not insur-
mountable. 1t will require the procure
ment in Europe of large quantity Of am
munition in special sizes for these ships.
as it would require a good deal of time
for our domestic ammunition makers to
change their plants and make the special
sizes. Commander William H. Emery has
volunteered to command the auxiliary
cruiser st. Louis in the event of that ves-
sells impressment into the naval service,
and he will be ordered to join her be-
fore her departure from New York next
Wednesday. in a capacity similar to that
which caused Commander Brownson o

FIRST FALL FOR JENKINS.
O'ROurke,s Decision Against HALL
AdaH Greeted With Derision

New York, Nov. 5.-Three thousand per-
sons yelled with derision at the decision
of Tom O'Rourke. who awarded the first
fall in the wrestling bout between Hall
Adali, "the Sultans iion," and Tom Jen-
kins, tonight, to the latter. The bout
took place in Madison Square Garden,
and from the first Jenkins adopted wait
ing and worrying tactics. Every time the
Turk tried to get hold on Jenkins, the
willy American discreetly backed off the
mat The same business was repeated
time and time again, until the Turk
attendant told him that he was at liberty
to follow his man off the mat.
Then began a sprinting match in which
Jenkins fairly outclassed the foreigner.
The Turk finally turned with hopeless
look on his face to his corner. At this
time Jenkins was not within fifteen feet
of the mat In a half dazed way Adali
reached his chair and lifted his towel to
his face. Quick as a flash the seconds of
foul. O'Rourke. to the surprise of nearly
everyone, gave the fall to jenkins. The
announcer explained that under the rules
If man left the mat after wrestling be-
gan and took up a towel 1t was a foul.
There was a storm of boots and Kisses.
Protests were of no use, and after an in
terval of fifteen minutes the Turk brave
ly went to the mat again. When the men
had been trying to wrestle for forty-five
minutes the Turk got Jenkins down and
slowly crushed the erstwhile gay and
nimble Jenkins into submission. No fur
ther wrestling was done. The match end
ed in a draw.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
