formalities were in progress somebody
asked her why she. had come from a
tropical island and her own people to
live among strangers, where the max

easy. The woman answered, with an
earneStness that said much for her sin
cerity and something for her accuracy,
that she left HaytI because the season
for certain cannibalist:c rites in the
district where she lived was coming on.
and that her child would have beer

been made against the Haytians many
times and as often denied by them, hul

able that in parts of the Black ReDub
lie heathenish customs of the most
frightful sort have been practiced ever
since the expulsion of the French. The
Haytians are now very close neighburs
of our own, and it remains to be seen
what the consequences of this prOXlnI-

were those of Cuba under Spanish rule
Even if cannibalism is a mere Sporad c
crime in Hayti, there are other things
there practically worse and morally al
most as bad about which there is no
doubt whatever. The government is
corrupt and sanguinary, and the treat
ment of white foreigners is often
atrocious. The Haytians have had
many years in which to develop The
power of self-government, but they re-
main far below the standards of ciyilI-

they are sinking rather than rising.
Moreover, this island is potentially Of

THROUGH ARCTIC ICE.
An Explorer of the North Proposes
New Method of Reaching the
North Pole.

Admiral Makaroff, the well-kn0wn
explorer of the North Pacific, has late
ly made the proposal TO reach the
north pole by means of powerful Zee
breakers. The proposal sounds rather
strange at first, but the Russian adj
miral bases it on sound scientific ~ea-
son:ng and on good deal of actual ex-
perience.
Icebreakers have been used in Russia
Cat Cronstadt) since 1864, and lately
great progress was achieved in their
construction in America by arIaing
such vessels with two screws at the
stern and a third one at the stem. / he
American icebreaker, Ste. Marie, $500
horsepower, easily sails through ice
two and one-half feet thick, and p.erces
ice walls Is feet high. Still more pow
erful icebreakers have lately been
built in America, and in this country
(England) for the Trans-Si berian rail
way and the Port of Nlad:vostok. Tab
ing into account that, according 10
Nansen, the ice walls (toroses) in the
Arctic basin seldom alta II the height
of % feet and that the polar area is
free from ice over at least one-thif1 OF
its surface, while all the ice is weak
ened in summer by thawing, and es-
peciaIIv by interior canals, due 10 &C
cumuIations of salt, and by creviceS.
Admiral Makaroff concludes that al
icebreaking steamer of 10000 horse
power would overcome all the d -f1cui
ties which polar ice may oppose to heI
progress.
The distance between the latitude OF
rs degrees north 10 the pole being i=o
miles, he calculates the various speeds
atwhich such asteamer could make her
wav through the ice of various thick
nesseS from four to seven feet, and he
finds that the total distance could bt
covered in IL days. Moreover, instead
of one iceDrealler of 20, 600 horse-poW err.
it would be advantageous to have two
such vessels Of 900 horsepower each.

eXper; ment in Russia that two ice
| breakers, placed one behind the other,
| and the rear one pushing the front one
| by means Of special wooden frame
| act as effectively as one single zee
| breaker of a double force. Admiral
Makaroff's proposal is, therefore, to
| build two special icebreakers Of 5000
| tons and 10000 horsepower each, i.rO-
| vided with stem screws. and 20 force a
way through the ice to the pole.-Na-

Sick-Room Comforts.

Hot-water bags of rubber are invaI
liable, but few homes boast of more
than one. Large fiat bottles of thick
glass and curved sides are very useful in
this respect. When they are to be filed
if set in pan containing little warm
water boiling water may be poured into
them without cracking; and if the
water is allowed to run over the cork
will suck tight in its place with no fear
Of leakage. Small bags may be made to
cover these bottles, or in case of sudden
media stocking may be utilized These
fit closely, and may be pinned together,
leaving the bottle trim and neat. A

NEEnAH, Wis, Jan. 14.-While
cleaning the rack in the fume of the
Winnebago Paper company in this
city, this afternoon, workmen found
the body of Chief of Police John
Garvey of Menasha. The theory is
that he fell into the canal and was
drowned. He was last seen going tie
rounds of the saloons of Neenah about
ten O'Clock last evening. An exami
nation of his clothes was made and it
was found that his watch had stopped
at 1887. which leads to the snppo-
sltlon that that was the hour when be
fell into the water and was drowned.
