WRECKS AND DERELICTs.
The Vesuvius Very Successful il
Removing These Menaces.


Gustave Kobbe writes an article for
the October 'St. Nicholas" on Battling
With Wrecks and Derelicts.'' Mr..
Kobbe says:
A stranded vessel is not a menace to
navigation, and Is therefore left Sc
verely alone; but a wreck sunk in a
few fathoms of water, in the track of
coastwise shipping, is a dangerous OBJ
struction. The large, heavy masts Of
a sunken coaster might rip UP the bot
tom Of a coliding vessel, and ledge
Of rock would not be more fatal than
the submerged hull. In one year the
United States photographic Office,
which is a branch Of the Bureau Of
Navigation Of the Navy Department,
has received nearly two thousand re-
ports Of wrecks and dangerous obstruc-
tions, and ordered the destruction of
as many of these as was practica BILE.
This work is done with torpedoes. After
the explosion there is no torpedo left,
but there is also no wreck.
It Is impossible to say how much
damage has been done by collision
with wrecks and derelicts, as ships
abandoned at sea are called. Sunken
wrecks are hidden dangers. The sky
may be clear and the seaway light !;
they smite the unsuspecting victim
from the depths, and add ona more to
those disasters which are the more
tragic for the awful mystery that sur
rounds them. During the seven years
from 1887 to 1894 forty-fve such col
lisions-nine, or nearly one-fourth, re-
sulting in total loss, the others in great
damage-were reported to the United
States photographer. OF the nine ia
tai collisions, FIVE were with wrecks,
and four with derelicts.
The Yantic, the Dispatch, and the dy-
Mantle cruiser vesuvius are among the
vessels Of the United States navy which
have most actively waged war upon
sunken vessels The United States
steamship San Francisco also has the
honor Of having destroyed derelict in
which operation she was, however,
obliged to resort to all usual methods
of naval attack except boarding tor
pedoes, ramming,. and shelling. Cap
tain Crowninshie1d, when commanding
the Kearsarge, removed a curious OBJ
struction to navigation or Cape May.

An Old Warehouse of journalism Dis.
covers the Virtue of q New
Medicinal Variety.

There are only few of them left.
Since Chas. A. Dana's death, Joseph Me-
dill, the warhorse of the Chicago Tribune
is the chief surviving representative of the
old school of viri!e, aggressive editorial
giants.
To have mud thrown at them was part of
the profession at all times, but to find health
in mud is rather modern innovation. That
is what Joseph Medill has been doing OF
late.
Mr.. Medill is an investigator and when
the stories of the miraculous Magno-M Mud at
Indiana Mineral Springs began to spread
over the country, the great editor became
interested and eventually decided to try this
mysterious substance on his own rheumatic
limbs and weigh its value. He was accom-.
panied by his private physician, young
Armenian scientist of high attachments.
The great editor was mud .mummihed daily
for several weeks and gained visibly in
weight, strength and vitality.
The final result OF the experiment, was an
unqualified success. Mr.. Medill went
back to Chicago in September, and wrote an
editorial about Magno- Mud with his own
hand. Next, he sent his son-in-law for a
little of the mud-treatment. In November
he went down again, and since the new
bath house is completed he expects to be a
regular visitor four times year.
This mud-treatment in which Mr.. Medill
found so much virtue, is peculiar, yet logical
After all, every form of fife springs from the
earth, which is the great destroyer and assim
ilator of dead and effete matter. At the
Indiana Mineral Springs is beautiful little
natural amphitheatre, the slopes being
grown with magnificent oaks. At the foot OF
the converging hills, big Lithia spring
gushes forth at the rate of 5000 barrels day
and foods the soil, which consists of rich,
black porous loan, fed by the deciduous
foliage of the oak trees. This peculiar soil
saturated with mineral salts for ages, is as
soluble as sugar, and being devoid of clay is
not sticky in the least. 1t is not, therefore,
in any sense related to the conventional mud
of the roadway, Of the Chicago street or to
the variety which clings to your heels.
The mud is applied to the patient on cot,
the subject being entirely encased in the
substance, steamed TO proper temperature.
1t then acts as poultice, stimulates the
skin, superficial blood vessels. and nerves,
opens the pores and Initiates the blood. dis
solving all uric acid deposits. Nothing can
be simpler or more rational.
