Andres Reported Death the Joke Of
Russian Physician.


II the statement made recently by
st. Petersburg journal is true. the re-
port that Andre and his two compan'
ions had been found in cabin neal
Krasnoiarsk is the result Of a hug
Joke. 1t is more than probable. sine,
the investigations set on foot by th'
Russian government have revealed
nothing, that the Inflated explorer
never reached the shore of northern
Asia; 1t is even possible that he Is yei
alive. The story given out is that
certain Siberian mine-owner, who lived
in the wilds of the steppe, wished to
decoy out for a brief visit dear friend,
Of his, physician of Krasnoiarsk. Hl
therefore wrote to him that Andre and
his two companions had come down or
his mine, and that although they
wished to keep their presence secret
for few weeks. the learned doctor
might enjoy their conversation until
such time as they should choose to
reveal their presence. and then share
the honor Of their discoveries. The
physician, however. smelt the mouse
and replied by the next mail that
Andre and his two companions could
not have come to the mine-owner's
house. since their bodies had been
found in an old cabin near Krasno-
iarsk. Then followed the description
Of their supposed death. the details OF
which. in almost Identical words OF
the physician, the Russian govern
ment caused to be cabled over the
world. For some reason the mail de-
tectives, who open every letter either
way, failed to catch the first Andre
statement. but did open the report
that he had been found by the Toun
gous. Such, at least. is the version
current in the capital of the all-om-
nipotent car. 1t is possible. however
that both stories. that of Andres
death, and then this explanation of 1t,
originated in the brain of some fertile
space-writer. Unless. indeed, the Rus
sian newspapers are different from
those Of the rest Of the world.

How the Rough Rider Was Floored Once
Mr.. b. Cornell of Homewood. Ill.,, sends
me the following little story about Gov
ernor Roosevelt:
One day. while he was n schoolboy 1t
came his turn to speak u piece" He was
one of the best declaimers In the school.
His elocution was greatly admired by the
scholars and 1t was equally II source OF
satisfaction to his teacher. On this par
ticular Friday afternoon n number of the
town people had come In to witness the
exercises and everybody was expected to
do his best. Young Roosevelt had selected
for his defamation and carefully commit
ted to memory the well-known poem,
Marco Bozzaris." He went to the plat
form, made q stately bow and com
menced:
AT midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk was dreaming of the hour
When Greece her knee"
and there he stuck. He had forgotten the
lines. But he started again at the begin
ming:
"At midnight In his guarded tent
The Turk was dreaming of the hour
When Greece her knee
wiped his lips with his handkerchief and
blushed painfully.
when Greece her knee

but 1t was hopeless. and he looked over
toward his teacher for sympathy.

gested his teacher with wink. "and may

The first steamship to cross the At
lantlc was the Savannah. an American
ship built at Corlears Hook. on-the East
River, and launched Aug: %, 1878 She
was originally built for a sailing packet
between New York and Liverpool, but
was purchased before completion by
William Scarborough & Co., of Savan-
nah and fitted with machinery.
The paddle wheels were so construct
ed as 10 fold up and be stored on deck
in stormy weather; the wheel was IN
closed in canvas held in place by iron
rims Her model was considered fine
and her passenger accommodations
were thought elegant.
She went to Savannah in 1919 and
left that port for Liverpool May 20,
1919. She arrived in twenty-five days,
having used her engine for fourteen
days. She then went to st. Peters
burg, returning 10 Savannah in NOvem-
Der, 1918. Her machinery was after
wards taken out and she was convert
ed into a sailing packet. She ran some
time between New York and Savannah,
finally running ashore on Long Island.
She was Of $50 tons burden.
The first ship to cross the Atlantic
propelled all the. way by steam was the
Royal William, Canadian boat, built
In 1888. Within the next decade the
first iron trans Atlantic steamship was
launched In England. This was the
Great Britain, the forerunner Of the
Great Eastern, and designed by the
same engineer. Brunei. This ship was
provided with a screw propeller and
crossed the sea In fifteen days at an
average speed Of nine knots an hour.
1t was the famous Cunard line which
first established a regular trans-Atlan-
tic service with regular dates OF de
parture. The Britannia. the first Of the
four ships, left Liverpool on her maid
en- trip on July 4. 1910. and reached
Boston on July 10. The Cunard Line
made such inroads on the business OF
the American packets that Congress
impelled by the clamor Of American pa
tTi0tism, granted a subsidy to E. h
Collins, Of New York. for an American
line between this port and Liverpool
The new vessels were swifter and more
elegant than the Cunarders, and, like

TO a native officer of the district, and
receiving a satisfactory reply drove
with a man-servant to the station
where the ass was to be in waiting.
To her amazement there, tied to. a
post AL ready to be MIXED. stood a
huge she bear. 1t seems that in the
native dialect, the words ass and bear
are so nearly alike as to be scarcely
distinguishable in the mouth of a Eu-
ropean.
A variation Of the milk problem was
presented to F. G, jackson, the Arctic
explorer, when he found and adopted
the infant cub Of a polar bear. There
seemed no way to feed the poor little
beast until Mr.. Jackson hit upon the
following ingenious method:
Taking a bit Of sponge, he covered
1t with chamois leather and fastened it
to rubber tube which had previously
been inserted in a bottle. Fixed into
the cork of this bottle was a piece of
glass tubing through which air might

The cub took to the bottle like any
other baby, and sucked away in most
ravenous fashion, with a .contented
look upon her face, as if the last of her
troubles were ended.

THE eoER LANGUAGE.
Its Pronunciation Is Easy When Dutch
Tongue Is Understood.

Its pronunciation Is Easy When Dutch
Tongue Is Understood.
The language of the Beers Of South
Africa is dramatically the language
of the people of Holland. They speak
Dutch as their forefathers in Holland
spoke it and speak it now. They are
called BOers because that is a Dutch
word which describes them. 1t means
a farmer, and agriculture is the main
pursuit of the peace-loving compatriots
Of Dom Paul. A knowledge of Dutch
would supply an explanation of the
odd-looking words that are used now
and then in the news reports from the
sturdy little republic. 1t would also
enable one TO pronounce these words as
theS should be enuneiated.
Dutch dipthongs are not given the
same sounds as their equivalents in
English. The double 80" for instance
in Dutch has the same sound as 90 in
Rome, while the dipthOng zoe" is pro-
nounced by the Dutch as we pronounce
100" in boot. The English pronuncia-
ton Of these two dipthongs is the re-
verse of that given them by those who
speak Dutch. And "ou" has the sound
of low" in owl. The sound Of "ui' is
nearly like that of the English 10Y in
boy. The Dutch double "aa" Is the
same as the English "a" in war. As
there is no ~ in Dutch its place is tax
en- by Ill which is sounded as ~ in
defy.
If one, therefore. would pronounce
Dom Paul properly he would say it as
il it were spelled "Ome Powl." The
family name Of Gen. Joubert would for
the same reason be pronounced as If it
We're spelled "Yowbert." The word
BoeF is pronounced by the Afrlkander
as II it were of two syllables; the first
long and the second short. thus: Boo
err" The plural is not Beers" 1t is
"Boeren," and 1t is pronounced Boo

the sailing ships of the old Collins line,
won many laurels. The Cunard vessels
stopped calling at Halifax, but In spite
Of this were easily beaten by their
American competitors. The Pacific Of
the new line, made the passage from
New York to Liverpool in less than ten
days, her time In May. 1851, being o
days 20 hours and 10 utes. The
next year the Atlantic crossed in days
9 hours and IS minutes. The line, how
ever, wound up with disaster. The
Arctic was sunk by collision In 1854
and went down with $40 souls. The
Pacific left Liverpool the next year and
was never heard from. The American
capital which had been invested IN the
Collins line was transferred TO the In
man line, for years one of the most sue
cessful, and II subsequently became the
American line.
The Scotia, the last paddlewheel
steamer built for the Cunard line, was
the first to make the passage I'm less
than nine days, her time being days
3 hours in 1868. Tie City of Brussels
of the Inman line brought it under
eight days in 1869, with a record of Z
days % hours and minutes. The sew
en-day limit was reduced by the Alaska
Of the Gulon line, which crossed In 9
days % hours in 1889. The City of
Paris of the Inman line, afterward the
Paris OF the American line, reduced it
under six days, making the westward
passage in 5 days 10 hours and IS min
utes in 1889. The Lucania of the
Cunard line holds the present record of
8 days hours and % minutes.
The Southampton record is held by
the big Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse CT
the North German Lloyd line, which re-
duced the westward time 70 days IS
hours and 10 minutes ON M last voy-
age to this port, which ended last week.
She covered 3,049 knots at an average
speed of 220S knots an hour.
But the present-day ship must look to
her laurels, for the bigness of the
Oceanic proclaims her speed Certainly
great things may be expected from her
powerful engines.

Men VINO Wear bracelets.

Bracelet-wearing men are said to be
on the increase. The Prince of Wales
wears a gold bracelet at times on his
left wrist-a bangle, by the way, which
belonged to Macmillan, the Inflated
emperor of Mexico. The princes
brother, the Duke of SaXe-Coburg, also
wears a bracelet on his left wrist and
a chain around his neck. The late
Duke of Albany. although never con-
sidered of a approximations disposition,
always. believed certain amount Of
good luck attached to the bangle which
he wore. The late. Archduke Rudolph
wore massive bracelet and chain, and
King Hubert also displays bracelet.

The Jains Of India agree with the

destruction Of life. Being rigid veg
