OCEAN DERELIcTs.
Necessity for Patrol system to Find and
 Remove Them.

KASHA0Se
 New York Sun: The French steamer TouTaine, which recently arrived from Hayre, reports sighting the aban- doned wreck of the bark Siddartha, waterlogged and almost awash. The hapless craft had been deserted three weeks earlier by the bark Cape Race, and. being ahoat in the transatlantic steamship lane, she is a peril to naYi- gation. The Touraine passed close to her in broad day, but the thought of collision on a dark night or in a dense fog was not agreeable. This is only one more of 8 list of experiences which have become familiar to ocean travel, but not on that account the less disquieting or the less urgently de- manding relief While maritime coun- tries pay some attention to Wrecks of their coasting vessels, especially when within home waters, there is no proyi- sion of clearing the ocean of danger ous derelicts Besides, even coasters often drift through the action of the Gulf Stream or are driven by winds ttNa Cs22 hAAN u q GANA GetNbo Ol b1AC u a44o
 atlantic steamers. Again and again efforts have been made to bring about some international sys m of policing the seas,with view to removing these sources of peril. It is evident that such a system is needed, because apart from the expense involved in finding wreeks and blowing them up, authori- ty to do so would need to be conferred by the agreement of nations, for pro- lection against claims for damages. Thus far, however. no practical prog ress has been made toward such an agreement Our country has been prominent in urging It; and, indeed the thought that some of those lost vessels of many years past, whose fate has remained mystery, may have gone down as the result of striking such waterlogged dereltcts, Is enough to stimulate efforts to clear the seas of these perils.

SCIENTIFIC JoTTINcs.

The editor of the American Journal of Pharmacy, remarking upon the inn munity of certain domestic animals against particular poisons, suggests that medicinal roots, fruits and seeds, being rich in nutritiye materials, may economically be turned to account as food for animals, instead of being thrown away as being of no value after their medicinal constituents have been extracted.
 A letter in Glasgow paper records phenomenon much too unique to be reserved for Scottish consumption. The writer says: An acquaintance of mine who lives up north has among others of the feathered tribe little bantam cock A few weeks ago he noticed that 1t was looking the worse for a slight difference of opinion with a canine friend, but did not examine it closely, till his mothers and sisters yocifera- tions brought him in in hurry. There was the bantam picking away at corn, but the corn was dropping from rent in the birds chest just as fast as 1t was lifted. Not wanting to kill the bird, my friend got a needle and some horsehair and stitched Up the tear, with the result that the bird now is 'as good as new
 It seems pretty well authenticated that the human voice is capable of starting an avalanche. James Perch ard, clerk of the state Court of Appeals of one of our western states, was min ing some years ago in mountainous region. The snow had fallen to an un- usual depth and miners moving from one cabin to another were warned to look out for slides. He stopped on one of his trips at the cabin of an acQuaint- ance and took dinner with him and his wife. At the close of the meal his host urged him to stay awhile, but he felt nervous and started on his journey. Crossing the canyon, he looked back at the cabin where the man and ms wife were standing at the door. He waved his hand and shouted good-by- Hardly had the echo of his voice died away before a muffled noise struck his cara noise like the boom of a can- non-and in five seconds the cabin was buried under fifty feet of snow. As sistance was summoned and finally the two dead bodies were taken out. There is little question that under certain conditions the vibrations of the human voice will produce an avalanche.

woMAN's STATUS rNLouIslANA
A Curious Anomaly That Has Just

4 Curious Anomaly That Has Just
 Come to Light
 Ethel c. Avery calls attention to the present unique status of Louisiana women, says the Woman's Tribune, as follows: "A curious anomaly has just come to light in Louisiana The late constitutional convention gave tax paying women the right to vote upon all questions submitted to taxpayers. It added a clause, unique in the suf- frage laws of the county, that any woman who did not wish to go to the polls herself might give proxy to some one else to cast her te for her. This was done out of chivalrous regard for the women, who, it was thought, might shrink from contact with the polls. New Orleans is preparing to hold it's first election under the new law, to decide upon tax levy for sewerage and drainage. An examin- alton of the assessors books reveals that there are more than 10000 tax paying women in New Orleans, and the mayor the city council, the presi dent of the city board of health and other civic dignitaries have been elo- quently urging women to vote in fa- vor of better sanitation for their homes. Some of the women thought they would rather vote by proxy; and this has brought to light the anomaly in question: If woman gives cer- tificate to a proxy to vote for her the certificate must be signed by two com potent witnesses. Many New Osleans women are now finding out for the first time that by Louisiana law, which is based on the old law of France, a woman is not competent witness to 8 legal document. Tn Louisiana tax paying women may vote on the expen- diture of their taxes, and in this way are in advance of all the northern and eastern states. But while woman may be voter in her own right or may cast a vote as proxy for another woman she is not legally competent to witness the signing of the certificate.
