One of the most delicate operations
ever undertaken at Cramps Philadei-

fully performed. The iron steamer
Caracas was parted in the middle, the
object being to lengthen her 20 feet.
The task of cutting out the bolts and
rivets took many days before the peril
Gus task of separating the great hulk
was begun. The vessel was simply
pulled apart with windlasses repre-
senting pulling power equal to that of
5000 men. Several times the ropes
broke, but the work was at last COM
pleted, although at one time it seemed
as if it were impossible to widen the
breach already made. Similar opera

The Irl r. Hicks 1901 Almanac

Whatever may be said of the scientific
causes upon which the Rev. Irl r. Hicks
bases his yearly forecasts of storm and
weather, it is remarkable fact that spe
citic warnings Of every great storm, flood .
cold wave and drouth, have been PLAIN
~ printed in his now famous Almanac
for many years. The latest startling
proof Of this fact was the destruction OF
Galveston. Texas, on the very day
named by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Alma
nae, as one Of disaster by storm. along
the gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by
far the finest, most complete and beau
tiful yet published, is now ready. This
charitable book of near two hundred
pages, splendidly illustrated with charts
and hnlf.tone engrayings, goes as pre-
MUM to every subscriber who pays one
dollar It year for Prof. Hicks Journal,
Word and Works.. The Almanac alone
is sent pre- paid for only 25c. Order from

dried, dip again and allow it to dry

six times. The color and form of
