But what is hindering the rapid
promotion of this laudable scheme is
the fact that there is a bad spirit
under the surface here-one that by
all ways OF innuendo seeks to destroy
confidence in the syndicate that is
proposing to build this ferry line. If
the people of the deadly tongue could
be silenced it would be much easier
to get the business under way at an
early date. C. McMu1len, banker,
Oakland, in an interview.
The announcement in The Call few
days ago that the Realty Syndicate had
determined to establish a fast exclusive
passenger service between EmeryviHe
and San Francisco, to connect with their
electric street car system covering Oak
land. Berkeley and Alameda has awak-
ened lively interest in the proposition
among the cities across the bay. There

The AIviso and San Jose stern-wheel
steamer F. NJ. Smith stuck in the slough
again Friday morning, and all efforts TO
pull her out yesterday were unavailing.
She is badly strained, and Captain Denny

OIL IS The BEST
Many Trials of Its Use in
Calming the Sea.
Complete Subjusation OF Troubled
Waters-Record Of Experiments.
Failure OF Soapsuds.

NEW YORK. November Captain
II. Gathemaui Of the North German
LLOYD steamship OIdenburs has just
made public the result of a series of
experiments with oil and soapsIds in
quoting the sea in the vicinity o. the
snip during a storm.
He began his experiments in Deem
Der, 1897, on voyage from ia timOre
TO Bremen. and used a vegetable or
whale oil to good advantage. lie al
lowed the oil to drop from a series or
buckets arranged in the bow Of the
ship. The wind at the time was west
northwest, with a very rough sea. The
speed of the ship was about 12Ia knots,
the temperature OF the air was IS de-
grees Fahrenheit and Of the sea 81 de-
greeS Presently the waves. which had
been breaking over the ship. became
remarkably quiet. and the sea within
several hundred yards OF the ship he
came calm. The captain used about
two and One-half pounds OF oil in an
hour during his experiment. He WAS
very much gratiieG at the result.
In January. 1898, the captain began
trying soapsuds. The mixture con
sisted of fifteen pounds OF green soap
and forty pounds OF sweet water, and
as in the case of the oil, buckets were
used, from which the soapsuds dropped
into the ocean. The wind was north by
west. the speed of the ship over u
knots and the temperature Of the air
and sea about the same as in the eX-
pertinent with the oil. The sCapsuds
could Ice plainly seen floating on the
surface of the water until a wave
struck them and then they quickly
disappeared. No quietinS effect was
noticeable on the sea, however, and
when the buckets were empty they
were quickly filed with oil and pre-
sently the sea again became calm.
Captain Gathemani reports that he
has experimental with soapsuds sew
eral times during his voyages this
year. but never found them efficaciOus
and always resorted to- oil with good
results.
