German Salvag srs Lift He
With Granite Ballast.
MAYTow ToFALMoUTH TOMORROW

The Liner Still Has Distinct List to STAR
board and Cannot BE Assured to he Out
of Danger-A Fog and u Calm Sea the
Weather Conditions.
LONDON, July 12.-The salvagers have
moved the American liner Paris astern
$50 yards and have shifted the vessels
position slightly to the eastward. They
hope to be able to get the after stoke
hold fires alight The Paris is now clear
of the rocks. The sea is smooth, but a
heavy fog prevails. Three salvage boats
alone practically removed her FROM n
critical position unaided. She still has
distinct list to the starboard, and con-
not be assumed out of danger.
The German salvagers are elated at
their unexpected success in floating the
Paris. She has been weighted with
nearly 1000 tons of granite at her stern,
with view of hoisting her bow from
the rocks. Divers had difficulty in get
ting at the rock, and this was the reason
for the attempt to move her. Unless
something unforeseen occurs the Paris
will be towed to Falmouth today, and if
on inspection her condition warrants
she will be taken to Southampton or
other dock for repairs.

Big Animals of Long Ago.

Most of the gigantic animals of geo.
logical eras belonged to species which
have completely vanished, and of those
which have living representatives it is
difficult to say whether they have I'M
dergone true change of size or
whether the modern examples are
merely sulvivals of smaller contempt
rary varieties. The larger animals
have tendency to disappear first in a
partial failure of food supply. Gigantic
armadillos closely resembling those
of the present day We're formerly
abundant in South America. The re-
mains of huge sloths are found in Gu
ba and North America. Sharks attain
ing length of more than 100 feet are
found IN comparatively recent fossil
deposits. Another fish which repre-
sents larger prehistoric species is the
American bony pike, which is one of
of the few suryivals of the enormous
ganoids OF the secondary strata. The
tiny nautilus Of the present day had
kindred 10 or u feet long in early
times Another small shellfsh, the
pteropod. whose delicately complex
structure is packed in an inch of shell,
is found in fossil remains to have
reached the respectable length OF q
couple Of feet.

To Set the Compass Right.

WASHINGTON, July Scientific
men are manifesting much interest in
the preparations now making by the
coast and geodetic survey, which is
charged with the magnetic survey of
the United States, for determining the
accurate deviation Of the compass at
sea. Recent accidents at sea and the
severe competition of ocean liners have
called attention in a striking way to the
need of accurate values of the deviation
of the compass needle The values of
the deviation of the needle usually used
are almost wholly dependent on the OBJ
servations made on land and little has
been done by the United States to Sc
cure observations at sea. The vessels of
the survey are being fitted with special
magnetic instruments for these observa-
lions.

Womnn and Perxersitx.

Women and perversity are one, says
the philosophic street car conductor,
who asserts that she always does the
wrong thing in travelling on the trains
She wants to get aboard on the wrong
side Of the street; she alights the wrong
way, facing backward, before the car
stops, and she'll crowd in between two
fat passengers near the rear door Of
the car rather than walk few steps
forward where there is plenty Of room.
She may have nickels and dimes in her
purse to burn, but she'll fish and hunt
around for minutes looking for five
coppers to unload upon the long suffer
ing servant of the road.-Exchange.
