SOFT ESCAPING Old NEPTUNE.
A CHEAPER MATERIAL THAN OIL FOR SMOOTH
ING A ROUGH SEA

ING ROUGH SEA.
What is iguratively known as soft soap is
often cfIicacious in rendering social intercourse
and diplomacy easy; but the apple alton of the
real thing. compound Of refuse grease and
potash. to smoothing a troubled sea has more
Of an air Of novelty about it to the uninitiatcd
landlubbec. So that when the North German
Lloyd steamship Gera ar-ived from Bremen a
week ago. and her chief officer Albert Traue. re
ported that he had made use OF this agent dur
ing a period Of bad weather. there dispo-
sition in certain quarters TO suppose that he had
introduced a new practice. Inquiry reveals how
ever. that soft soap is almost well known
oil in attempts to appease a furious Ncp-
tune.
Its chief merit is its economy. Herr Traue
in talking about the matter. said that soap Is
cheaper than oil, especially if the latter is some
thing designed for the fabrication Of machinery
To be sure the quantity consumed in a storm Is
comparatively small He used only eight gal
Ions of soft soap and four Of oil in the course OF
a day. But a man who acquires the habit Of
avoiding wastefulness IN big operations is apt
to follow the same course in small affairs also
The soap handled precisely as oil is in
similar situations. A mass Of oakum is satu-
rated with it and placed in a large bag, and the
latter is either hung overheard at the bow
alongside is adjusted in the closets to
allow the contents to out and drip down
slowly through pipes discharging below the sur
face of the water The stuff is used the

vessel is under full hcadway. there viii not be
time enough for the soap oil 10 take effect
but if she heaves to greatly slackens her

work its way out in the face of the wind and
will smooth away the crests Of the waves. The

that they do not come on board the ship.
Herr Traue admits that soap Is not quite so
efficient AS oil but he declares that it is fairly
good substitute.
Captain Meissel Of the Gera and number
Of other navigators have sought to devise some
means Of throwing oil further TO the windward
Of A ship in a storm. Rockets have been invent
ed for instance which would carry charge Of
Oil and which might be fired in any direction 10
a distance Of several hundred yards. But as
these are apt to explode and deliver their cargo
in the wrong place. they have been voted fail
ure Then again shells which would withstand
the shock Of discharge from a gun, but would
omen valve and float on the water when they
fell into the sea- have been tried. with some
what uncertain results While oil (and soap
are already used TO good advantage therefore
there is yet room for improvement In the de-
tails Of the operation.

says: Some time ago a man came TO

clerks discovered the fraud and the
man was taken into custody.
II appears that a partner was discoy-
cred with wagon and 400 pounds Of
the alleged butter II was then
learned that the men were the Law
renee brothers, formerly Of Argonia
Kan, and who had been connected
with the Campbell Produce company,
of Wichita. IL is reported that some
time ago Campbell, OF the Campbell
Produce com pany, was also cashier Of
Of the Bank Of Douglas, Kan and
was notary public, that this Camp
bell Produce company issued a large
number OF checks on their own bank
the Bank Of Douglas, and then re-
fused payment. Campbell, the notary,
protesting them, collecting 81 on each
check, which, In fees alone,
amounted TO large sum OF
money, saying nothing OF the
aggregate OF the bogus checks
In these former transactions OF the
Lawrence brothers and Campbell

thought that these people are wanted
