There 10 no spot between Duluth and the
Atlantic Ocean l do not know. In 1872
was in the employ of the Detroit and Cleve-
land Navigation Co., and for fifteen years
was at my post as chief engineer on one of
their big passenger steamers. My first boat
was the r. n. Rice, which was burned at
the docks. Then l was transferred to the
Rubie. which was chartered to make the
run between Detroit and Cleveland
brought out the new steamer the City
of the Straits, and for years acted as her
chief engineer. 1t is a great responsibility,
the position of chief engineer on those big
passenger palaces. Thousands Of lives are
held in the keeping of the engineer. Few
realize the dangers that might befall them,
and on the engineer depends the safety of the
passengers. The anxiety causes a crest
nervous strain, and the strctest attention is
necessary during the trip. Not for me-
ment must he lose his watchfulness, as the
human freight above him is absolutely in
his care.
For fifteen years I carefully watched
the big engines and boilers without single

The annual report Of the State commits
sioners Of inland fisheries and game has
just been issued. The report is compre
hensive and instructive. The various fish
and game annuls of the State receive due
attention with Illustrations Regard ing
the big game, the report seems to indicate
need for greater protection for caribou,
which are rapidly diminishing in num-
bers. The present protection for moose
and deer, the commissioners think, is
sufficient il the law can be enforced.
The report seems to indicate a desire for
more protection for partridges-an abso-
lutte close time for a term of years or
their sale prohibited or regulated in the
same manner as witt deer, are two meas
ures suggested. Protection of woodcock
until Sept 10 instead of Sept. /, is also
recommended.
The guides registration law has passed
the experimental period, and proven its
usefulness.
In an appendix the commissioners give
some statistics regarding the game in
terests of the State.
From reports from game wardens, it is
estimated that there are 204 hotels or
camps in the State for the entertainment
Of sportsmen; estimated value, $323, 74O.
There are 1897 private cottages or camps;
estimated value 1924, S55. There are $50
steamers on inland lakes, used for the
transportation of sportsmen.
The guides report 14O,516 pounds of
trout, salmon and togue caught by parties
whom they have guided-more than sew
enty tons-an increase of eighteen tons
over last year. As near as can be esti
m ted about 260 moose have been killed,
ali increase OF ten over last year; $50
caribou. II decrease of seventy-nine; and
9 600 deer, or fitty-three more than lat
year. Undoubtedly several thousand deer
We're killed of which there Is no record.
Probably II 900 deer have been killed i'll

DEWEY TALKS UP.

Admiral Dewey says that he has
No ambition to enter politics. He is
a sailor, not politician, he saws, and
is willing to live and die in his pres
ent position. In regard to the state
ment of his son that he was a dyed
in-the- wool republican, he said that
the young man did not know any
thing about his fathers politics.
The admiral is sincere in all his ut
terances and his opinions will have
great weight with the people. He
tells us that the trouble with General
Otis is, that he has tried to do too
much, and has made a bad mess of
it. He pays high tribute to the
American correspondents in the
Philippines, declares their integrity
and accuracy beyond question, and
expresses the belief that the censor
ship OF General Otis is too severe, a
fact that the "organs" will not relish,
and the men who have contended
that the Filipinos need military
guardians will find little comfort in
his estimate of the people. When
asked if the natives are capable OF
self government, ne said.
Well, no; not just now. They
probably will be in little time.
They are very queer people,
verv queer mixture. Many of them
are quite civilized and good people
but | do not think they are fit for
self government just yet. But when
/ say that | must add at the same
time that it is my candid opinion
that they are more fitted for 1t thar
the Cubans, that they are better
people than the Cubans in every
way.

n Com. physician makes the
startlinp a nCement that artificial
hearts can be substituted for the real
one when the latter are worn out.
He says the heart is nothing but a
force pump. its duty being to send
blood through the veins and
arteries and bring it back again
Thi, doctor holds that an artificial
heart can be constructed to work
automatically with clock work. He
would join the arteries to the artlfi-
heart, one at a time WREN the job
is completed he proposes to remove
the old heart, after having wound
up the artificial heart and set it 60
ing. His explanation, however, is
so mystified by scientific language
that it Is probable most people will
prefer the heart they are born with
to any substitution of pumps and
clock work.
