On December the captain reported
that there was every indication Of the
fire having been extinguished, and
strongly recommended the opening of
the matches. In reply to this, Mr..
Hoult ordered the injection of steam
to be continued, and tho matches to
be kept closed, and the same date, re-
ceiving intimation that the FIRE was
extinguished, ordered steam to be in
jected for another twenty-four hours,
the voyage to be then resumed. The
York underwriters protested against
this. aud the surveyor refused to give
certificate of seaworthiness until all
the burnt cotton was removed, as they
believed the FIRE to be still burning.

From the day that the pioneers from

superstiuous horror by seamen No

means by which the casualties might
be reduced. 1t looks as If they had

the caisson would not stay sunken. The

Laying Railroads Under Difficulties.

A Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record says: The prejudice
of the Chinese against railroads has
not yet been overcome. The latest
mails bring curious story about the
experience of the surveyors who are
laying out the line between Pekin and
Hankow. The route is very circuitous,
in order to lift the track above the
overflow of the rivers upon the plains,
and was decided upon after long study
and many difficulties Imagine the
disgust of the surveyors when, after
an interval of three or four months.
they attempted to so over the line 8
second time and discovered that every
one of the stakes they had driven had
been carefully removed and every
other landmark they had left to indi
cate the route had been obliterated
Nearly wo-thirds of the work had to
be done over again, but it was not at
tempted until an edict was issued by
the Governor of the province prohibit
ing the disturbance of any of the sur
veyors' marks under penalty of death

A HOMEGROWN Bxperience.

A man went into an icehouse to cool
off.
An abrupt and impetuous hired man
closed and locked the door and went
away. The next day was Sunday and
the hired man did not come back,
While the man who yearned to cool
off waited for the return Of the hired
man his object was accomplished in a
very thorough manner. BE cooled off.
The muff1ed door gave back but
echoes to his blows, and his voice could
find no place to escape and sound the
alarm.
When he grew tired Of walking and
swinging his arm to keep warm the
chunks Of ice that were piled around
him did not offer a tempting bed. Hun
ger gnawed at his vitals and refused to
be satisfied with diet Of raw air. Dark.
ness settled down like a six months
Arctic night, and the only sound which
broke the profound stiffness was the
man who wanted to cool of trying to
swear.
The hired man opened the door on
MONDAY morning, and the man who
wanted to cool off crawled out more
dead than alive.
When his tongue had thawed out he
began to abuse the hired man.
"Fool?' retorted the hired man,
"Fool, you are lucky dog and do not
know 1t. Don't waste your time In
abusing me, your benefactor, but go
and write book Of impressions on
Alaska"
Then the man who wanted to cool off
saw that his fortune was made.-Cht
