was thought to be the body of one of the
Idaho's crew.
Relatives of Alexander GILES. captain
OF the Idaho, offered a reward of $50 for
the recovery of the body, but it has not
been found
ThIs Is the principal reason, according
10 some Vesselmen. why the bodies will
not be found: In 1854, thirteen years ago.
IN the early part of the season of naviga-
uon, the schooner Eddie Fitzgerald was
oIoWn ashore or went aground near to the
place where the wreck of the Idaho now
lies. Slowly the vessel. after ii had been
on bottom for some time. began to dis
appear II was on a stretch of sand
some vesselmen call it quicksand-and
gradually it was sinking into this sand
AFTER time nothing of the vessel could
De seen-lt had been swallowed up nv the
quicksand, so called. Vesselmen were re-
minded of this peculiar incident about a
week after, when a captain, who had lust
come down the lake, passing near to the
wreck OF the Idaho, reported that while
salhhg IN three fathoms of water, his boat
struck something. He thought il was the
upper works of the schooner FITZGERALD.
ANA So in view of this circumstance and
the iact that Vesselmen are aware it is
not uncommon to find sand much like
quIcksand in spots along the shores of th.,
lakes, many have come to the conclusion
tiie'' 0ilS SiSN ol the luanO mas been SWal-
lowed up by this treacherous sand, of
Whlch there is large stretch along the
Canadian shore above Long Point, nearly
opposite the place where the Idaho lies.
Inc possibility of drowned men being
covered forever by this sand is substan-
tIated here: on October Il, 1894 the schoon-
er Hartford foundered in Mexico Bay. Lake
Ontario. On board, it is said. were seven
persons-the captain, his wife and child
and four men who made up the crew. In
the evening of the day of the wreck the
body of the baby was washed ashore. The
body of the CAPTAINS wife was found on
Oct. 20, nine days later. The body of the
captain or any of the crew has not been
found, and more than three years have
elapsed since the boat was lost. The theory
is the bodies of the men We're swallowed up
by quicksand.
The fact that so much time has elapsed
since the Idaho sank strengthens this the
ory. The stay of a body under water de-
ponds on the temperature of the water; but
So far as can be learned there is no in
stance on record where bodies have re-
manned on bottom, free from wreckage or
anything else that might keep them from
floating to the surface of the water for a
month or more.
According to the stories of Gill and La
Force, the survivors, some of the crew had
on life-preservers. These should have
brought their bodies to the surface, and
the fact that none has appeared gives even
more strength to the almost general opin-
ion that they are covered by quicksand.
1t is thought, however, that the bodies of
a few members of crew still are in the
chain-hold of the wreck.

SULPHUR CREEKS DISCOVERER.
His Name Is BrimstOn, and He Tried
Intellectually to Keep His Rich
Find a Secret.

From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat
Seattle. Wash.-Among the recent ar
rivals from Alaska was George Brimston,
a young man who left here last March for
Alaska. Brimston is the discoverer of
Sulphur creek, one of the richest streams
in the vicinity of Dawson, the mines of
which are considered almost as good as
those of FL Dorado. One would never
know that this quiet young man was the
first to discover gold on this creek unless
some one told you, for the man himself
would say nothing about it. To a cores
pondent of the Giobe-Democrat Brimston
finally told the story of his search for gold
during the last four years, which has been
at last crowned with success in the far
North.
1.-The first time had that feeling to hunt
for gold which causes men to brave all

transportation, next to food supply. Is
the most serious problem of civilization.
That is why there is such a vast number
OF Inventions recorded at the patent Of
flee for the purpose of carrying people and
things. Some of them are very odd in
deed.
Particularly for the use and benefit of
the evangelical missionary is a newly in
vented railway car When on the road it
looks like an ordinary Pullman, but, when
desired, 1t expands into church. and fur
nishes shelter and housing for congre-
cation of worshipers. SO complete is this
travelling sacredotal edifice, indeed, that II
actually has steeple, which Is hoisted up
and clapped upon the top of 1t as the fin
ishing touch. Many people consider that
church without a steeple Is no church
at all in the proper sense, and hence the
disturbances of this part of the apparatus
The inventor of this cathedral on wheels
is Albert Bierstadt, the distinguished
painter of New York. His idea sprang
originally from a recognition of the diff
culties which must be encountered by per-
ipatetic preachers who find themselves
80 frequently in places where there is no
church Now, it Is fact undeniable that
religious services of any kind depend for
their impyessiveness largely upon archi-
lecture. a sermon delivered from a grace
fully carved pulpit in the apse of a SUI
perb Gothic edifice has an effect upon its
hearers very different from that which
would be produced upon the same congre-
cation by the same discourse pronounced
from the tail of a cart Hence the value
of the sacerdotal railway car herein de-
scribed
The car is as useful for transportation
as any parlor Pullman. When il reaches
a place where its services in its sacred ca
pacity are required, IL is run off upon a
side track. But just here il must be ex-
plained that cars Of this kind are design
ed to travel in couples, each of them MAX
ing one-half Of the church. The side walls
are swung outward, and the whole affair
unfolds, the two halves being Joined TO-
gether In order to. accomplish this the
two cars are run upon tracks side by side.
II the tracks are not convenient, half a
dozen rails temporarily laid will do.
The steeple which Is collapslble is tele-
scoped Qua before placing ii upon the sum
nit of the edifice. Then, the building be-
ing complete-its construction does not
take more than half an hour-it only re-
mains to unfold a lot Of settees for use
as improvised pews by the congregation,
and all is ready for the church service.
The folding pulpit, with baptismal fon,
combined, is a mere detail, though inn
portant for saving space. In conclusion.
1t ought 10 be stated that the church is
really convertible into lecture hail or a
gallery for the exhibition of pictures. Now
that the interior Of Africa Is being pene-
trated by railways. Il will be practicable
for missionaries 10 carry their churches
with them, and TO preach the gospel TO tho
untutored blacks under auspices much
more favorable.
