The Speedy Potosi.

The great German steel five-masted
ship Potosi has just completed another
record-breaking voyage Lately she
ran from on the Isle of Wight to Val
paraiso in So days. She made several
other remarkable passages, complete
ly eclipsing all the records heretofore
made by any sailing ship at any time
She is said to be the fastest sailing
ship afioat. She was launched June
8. 1895. from Tecklenborg's yard in
Germany, and made her first voyage
out TO Iquique from Hamburg in g.
days. The vessel is owned by F. La
eisz. OF Hamburg. Her dimensions
are as follows: Length. 40 feet 6
inches. breadth OF beam, So feet 5
inches, depth OF hold. 32 feet inches.
She has a capacity of 500 tons, or
go tons more than the big French
sRiler La France. The uninitiated
may obtain a better idea of her size
from the following figures: SSH. 500
pounds or 2.756 and half tons of iron
and steel were used in her construc-
tion. and on her regular trips to and
from IquiQue and Hamburg she car
ried easily away from the former place

rigged on the first four masts and the

Sailors Recover Wages.

In the libel Of Antonio Ramirez et
al against the Mexican Steamship
Company for wages and damages
Judge De Haven rendered judgment
at San Francisco on March 2, 1901. in
behalf of the Hbellants for the wages
ignoring the claim for damages. The
case was based on the claim of the
libellants that they were hired as sea
men by the master of the ship Mexico
to make trip TO Mazatlan and return.
When they reached the destination
they allege that the captain declared
that he contracted for only one trip.
He offered to engage the men for the
return trip at reduced wages, and
when they rejected his offer they were
sent ashore. Suit was brought for
800 damages for each man and the
amount Of wages due.

They Have Hard Service.

The French foreign legion, which il
again the subject of Partisan political
gossip, offers about the hardest mill
tary service in the world, aud no one
who knows enters it until he las eX-
hausted all other means of support or
wishes to bury himself. Men of all ma
tons are in its ranks, many of them
hard characters, criminals and jail
birds, and 1t is always sent by France
to do the dirty work which that coun-
try naturally does not choose to i'm.
pose upon its own children.
Thus 1t has held the frontiers of the
African colonies, where every now and
then a post is cut to bits by a wild
Arab tribe. The fever-infested por
tons Of Cambodia and Indo-C China,
which Lott has described, have also
been the scene of its exploits. The
discipline, too, is most severe. Flogs
ging is daily occurrence and capital
punishment is the result of the most
trivial offenses. Thus the cases of in
sanity in the legion are of much
larger number than in any other
branch of the French service. A ply.
sician who has been studying the in
sanity of the legionaries says that \
majority Of the cases are well ,deye1
oped when the men enlist, since few
sane men would ever accept the condi.
tons known to exist in this corps. He
adds that in his opinion many men
shot for breaches Of discipline were
not mentally responsible.

Dead to Her Family.

A young Hindoo girl, a convert to
Methodism, has been on a visit to Bos-
ton during the past few weeks. Her
name is Sooboonagam Animal, which
Is shortened to Sooboo for purposes of
friendly conversation.
Sooboo is particularly interesting
from the fact that she belongs to q
high-caste family-a caste deemed SUI
perior in India to ordinary mortal 1850
citation. The girl heard the mission
preachers ut first with contempt, but
she ended by running away from her
aristocratic home to the mission and
said she had become a Christian. In
leaving her gods behind her she left
also her jewels.
First the angry and desperate father
came to the mission and threatened TO
put Sooboo's new friends in jail for
kidnapping. The girl was produced
and elected to stay where she was.
The father went away uttering the
final word, "Outcastw which is q sent
ence of "death."
But soon the broken-hearted mother,
who never goes forth and whose visit
to the mission was contamination,
came and pleaded with Sooboo to re-
turn to the home of those who had
reared her and loved her. The girl de-
clared her love for her mother, but re-
fused TO go back. Then came funeral
services, as Of on dead. The mother,
called "accursed" because of her visit
to the mission. could not be present,
but walked 1000 miles to the River
Gauges and held mourning service
there. Then she came home and walled
UP the door of Sooboo's room.

ANDREENOWGlVENUP
SWEDISH AERoNAuT THOUGHT
TO HAVE persisted.
Daring Explorer Yields Life In Search
of Parkway Arctic Pole-There IL
No News of the Missing Man During
the Past Four Years.

1t is now nearly four years since s. A.
Andree, the Swedish aeronaut, in his
balloon rose in air on Amsterdam ISL
and and confidently set out for the
north pole. To him was attracted at
once the hopeful and the anxious notice
of both the scientific and the unscien-
tific in every country. 1t was the most
wonderfully daring attempt ever con-
ceived of in aeronautics and 1t abso-
lutely eclipsed all previous enterprises
conducted in ships and looking to the
discovery of the north pole.
Mr.. Andree had been known us an aer-
onaut for twenty years, but he was
something more than that. He was a
theoretical mechanic, whose theories
were believed to be more sound than
any other mans in Sweden. He was
indeed more than theorist-he had
accurate knowledge of the practical
arts and inventions of his time. So
well We're his knowledge and abilities
known that the Swedish government
appointed him chief engineer of the
patent Office. These facts. being gen
orally in possession of the world public
strongly predisposed large part Of
that public to believe that he would be
successful in his surprising aeronautic
undertaking. Nor was the idea of cross
ing to the pole in balloon new one.

PLAYED BALL ON THE SNOW.

Two Ships crew. Had an Exciting
Game In the Arctic Region
Baseball was introduced into the
Arctic regions by the crew of the
schooner Thallium, which, under COM
mand Of Captain Kent, arrived recently
from Ivigtut, Greenland, with a cargo
of cryolite. 1t is safe to say that the
national pastime was never before at
tempted In the face OF such difficulties
The British bark Silicon was at that
lonely Greenland port with the Thai
ium, and was loading for Philadelphia.
The temperature while the two yes
sells were receiving their cargoes bor-
dered close on to 30 degrees below zero.
The sailors, not being called upon to
handle the curious mineral, shivered
around the galley fires and rapidly be-
came imbued with the lassitude which
is almost invariably the portion Of
those called upon to endure extreme
cold.
Captain Jansen of the Silicon pro-
posed in jest than In earnest
that the men play ball. The idea i'm
pressed them and they determined to
brave the temperature and essay the
sport with which all of them were toll
erably familiar.
A level plain was found near Ivigtut,
with flooring Of powdered snow,
frozen to the consistency Of adamant.
Under the midnight sun, and with a
wondering audience of fur-clad Es-
kilno, home runs and three baggers
were knocked out.
1t was necessary for all the players
to bundle themselves UP in true arctic
fashion. All hands wore gloves, so that
wild throws and errors galore were
many. Boatswain Brown of the Thai
lium tied the score in the fourth inning
by coming home from second base on
a passed ball, with the sensational ac-
compartment Of a slide from third base
clear to the plate. Tho Thallium's crew
eventually won by score Of as runs
to their opponents 81.
The Thallium is the first schooner to
arrive from Greenland in twenty-five
years. She is a new vessel, launched
Mt Bucksport, Me-, last August, and
built with a heavily timbered hull, es.
pecially for this perilous trade.-Phil.

This substitute, compounded with 60

have from time to time been sent over
the world, whose effect has been to
keep alive In many people the hope that
he may vet be found alive. But the
opinion Of the most is that he was lost
but few hours or possibly days after
his fosting away from the sight Of his
friends, and yet If such were the fact
1t would seem strange that some indis-
putable evidence was not long ago dis
covered. But 1t is not SO strange that
no evidence of the disaster has been
discovered, as would be Andree's sur
vival after all these years in the polar
region. And now again men Of science
and meteorological observation are 60
ing over the known facts and SO long
after the almost certain catastrophe are
able satisfactorily to themselves to es-
tablish that Andree was ignorant or
disregardful of meteorological condi-
lions and that he was more foolhardy
than any Of his predecessors had been.
And this appears to be true enough.
