novel principle has just been launch

ranged aft in the usual manner. and
another, though smaller one. is located
at the bow of the boat. This propel.
Ter. by giving to the water under the
Ice high sternward velocity, and thus
creating a partial vacuum, deprives
the ice OF its support and reduces its
resistance to crushing, so that the adj

ranged with suitable overhang, cuts
It's way into the unsupported ice with

Belief in Uniucky Hours

Common as is the superstition that
Friday is the most unluckv of days,
and l3 of numbers. the belief in un-
lucky hours is equally widespread on
the European continent and in the
East. Ganbetta was so firmly con-
WINGED that certain hours OF the day
are lucky and Others unlucky that he
would never commence any important
undertaking IT start on an important
journey without consulting famous
reader OF cards Hs to the auspicious
hour, and President Faure, who was
prudent enough to select a lucky hour
for starting on his recent journey to
Russia, Is said to share Gambetta's su-
perstition. President Carnot was less
credulous, and selected an unlucky
hour for starting on the journey to
Lyons, where he was nssassinated by
Caserio. The superstition is so COM
mon in Paris that cards tastefully en-
bellshed and containing a list of
''hours to be avoided" are extensively
sold

Derivation of the Word klondike'

1.-The River Trip to the klOndlKe Is
the title of an article by John Sidney
Webb In the Century. Mr.. Webb says:
Prom Dawson the trail to the mines
leads over steep hill TO the creek
made so famous by its tributaries; for
there Is not a single mine on the prin-
cipal stream, which in the miners
slang is called Klondike. And yet TINS
stream does in reality bear charac-
teristic name given it by the Indians,
which is utterly murdered by tins
pronunciation, now 80 common.
"The Indians name the creeks
throughout the country from some
characteristic in connection with the
stream itself; and rs this one is so
swift that in order to set their salmon
traps or nets they were obliged to use
a hammer to drive the stakes to an
chor them. the creek was named by
them Hammer Creek, or, in their IAN
guage. phonetically, Troan Dix. The
spelling Klondike means absolutely
nothing. but has been accepted, so |
learn. by the Board of Geographical
Names of the United States"
