The policy of this country regarding for.
eign complications seems likely to remain
conservative. The Monroe doctrine, accord
ing to the declaration Of our leading politi.
clans, will be sustained, but patience and
prudence in official quarters will restrain the
exuberance Of public opinion. The wisest
and most prudent course for the rheumatic
and the malarious is TO use lIostctter's Stom-
ach Btters. which also cures kidney com.
plant and dyspepsia.

MAMMOTH MAGNETS.
me Important Naval Departure
which Great Britain IsAbOut
10 Undertake.

Among the latest propositions O
naval experts is one looking to the re
covery of sunken warships by means 0
large magnets. After exhaustinp al
other means of recovering the magnifi
cent battleship Victoria Great Britain
has decided to make the attempt will
big magnets. The Victoria went dowr
in collision with the Camperdown in
the summer of 1899 off the Bay ofTunis
She sank in $50 feet of water. too fan
under the surface for hydraulic pres
sure to avail, and also too far under for
the best divers to get to her. But Brit
ain is determined to get the ship ahoat
once more II science can produce this
result. The plans as formulated are as
follows:
Above the spot where the Victoria is
| known to be will be mOOred a fleet of
wrecking pOntoons. Monster magnets.
shaped in the form Of horseshoe. will
be LET down from the sides Of the pom
toons and sunk until the attraction OF
the steel sides of the Victoria will draw
them to the ship, to be attached In
strong embrace by the mysterious force
that every boy has seen exerted on a
small scale.
On the estimate made by the in
ventors Of the scheme it is believed that
the lifting capacity of each magnet
will be not less than 100 tons, and as
the weight of the wreck is at least 900 |
tons it is estimated that upward of
40 magnets will be required.
Only when the magnets have been
fixed can the work of raising the wreck
be begun. Each pontoon will be fur
nished with hydraulic rams and dvna-
mo machines. Each lifting cable will
De attached to the lifting pontoon bv
means of sheave on the head Of
hydraulic lifting ram having stroke
II IL feet, which would give an ef- i
ective lift Of "a feet. The hydraulic
will be connected with each
ther' balancing accumulation reru-
tting the amount of pressure.
by this means it is proposed to raise
ne vessel ~ feet at time until she ,
an be towed into shallow water and
zen beached.
On small scale a test of the efficacy
raising boats by this particular meth
mas already been made. Into a depth ]
water that represented comparative 5
with the size Of the model boat the I
pth of the Mediterranean were I
wered a number of magnets of rela- II
re power The experiment was en- II
rely successful. $
One objection raised by naval ex- d
rts has yet to be overcome bv the ac- II
al experiment. 1t has been suggested u
~ the sides of the Victoria have long Il
EN- 1ncrusted by barnacles and other 81
'tter which would almost destroy the -
gnetic attraction of steel TO steel
e electric experts, however. declare
II the water of the Mediterranean is IN
nparatively eileen and pure and that
magnets would in all probability yC
ract themselves readily TO the steel Is
es of the ship.
here is little doubt that the exneri- do
Mt will be tried. The Victoria cost do
100000. The small hole in her sides
readily be repaired. The cost of
ing the ship will not exceed $780, 49,;
and if the test proves successful tbe
fish government in particular and ,pp
nee generally will be the gainers.- g.
