rooting-for-hbcrty hog of America
has held undisputed sway Of the pork
commerce of the world. 1t furnishes
the largest single item of exports
that this country sends to the be-
nighted foreigner. In 1891 the for
eigner ate Ss5,00O,0OO worth of
American pork This only whetted
his appetite for more, and his taste
for American hog meat has been
growing ever since. until last year
he consumed S120.00O,OOO worth
of it.
But now the American hog Is not
going to have things all his own
way. Denmark has gone into the
hog butcheri1ag business. Denmark
has always been quite a roofing
ground for hogs, but it was not till
its two best customers, Germany and
the United Kingdom, refused to per-
nit the importation of live porkers
that Denmark went into the butcher
ing and ham-making business. Now
it has established twenty-five slaugh-
ter houses, and is killing and turn
ing into hams, chops, bacon and salt
pork nearly 100000 hogs a year.
But this little squirt on the part of
the Danes will not alarm the friends
of the American hog. No one who
knows what a wealth of lusciousness
tiny section of him can diffuse
over a plate of beans, or what a few
slivers from his sides will do for an
order Of fried eggs, will ever fear
that any other hog in the world can
enter into serious competition with
him. No animal that shows such
enterprising cussedness in life and
such toothsomeness in death as does
the American hog need fear any for
eign-born rival. Alive or dead he
can hold the field against all corners,
and especially in life. when the field
happens to be newly planted.

The Herald's story of how the
water bond money has been spent
has called forth defense of the city
administration that might be re
garded as tedious, did it not posses
so much unconscious humor. For in
stance, we are told that owing to the
increased water facilities and sup
ply the number of water-takers has
been increased by 5000 during the
past twenty months. The last official
report shows that during the whole
of 1900 406 new services were placed.
80 that the remaining 1854 must
have been placed in the last ten
months. On Jan. 1, 1901, the total
number of taps in service in the city
was 1880. Possibly 500 have been
added since that time; certainly not
nearly $500. But this is as near
the truth as the rest of the Repub-
lican stock arguments in this cam
paign.

sANros-DUMoNT's TRIUMPH.
WHETHER OR NOT. NJ. San

WHETHER OR NOT M. San
Wv tOs-Dumont is awarded the
prize, his successful trip in
an air-ship from St. Cloud around
the Eiffcl tower and return was an
achievement of the most sensational
character.
The distance from st. Cloud to
Eiffel tower is some four and one
half miles. 1t is estimated that in
his journey Santos-Dumont covered
approximately nine and a half miles.
This was done inside of thirty min
utes, making his average speed
about twenty miles an hour
The wind, it is true, was light, but
IT was by no means a perfectly calm
day. This is shown by the difference
in the time made while going in the
direction of the wind and in coming
back against it. The breeze was
blowing from St. Cloud toward the
tower. and on the outward trip the
air-ship travelled at the rate of thirty
miles an hour. Returning, it did not
make more than twelve miles an
hour. Making all due allowances, it
Is safe to say that there could not
have been less than a ten-mile-an-
hour breeze blowing.
The time made against this wind
shows that Santos-Dumont has an
air-ship that could hold its own
against a fairly stiff breeze. In any
thing the nature of a gale it would.
of course, be helpless. Even in only
a tolerably stiff wind the air-ship
would probably be difficult to man
age, if not wholly unmanageable
where its course lay broadside to the
breeze.
But, simply taking the achieve
ment for what it actually accom-
plished, it is great triumph in
aerial navigation. Nothing approach
ing this performance has ever before
been accomplished, and it at least
proves that the navigation of the air
in fair weather is entirely feasible.

1t is now 20 years since the marine
tragedy at Valdivla. a port in Chile,
and the mystery surrounding the af-
fair is not much clearer than it was the
day after it occurred At midnight
one dark and rainy night Spanish
manof-war named. the Huafa and car
rying crew of 400 men entered the
bay at slow speed. intending to anchor
within half a mile of the wharfs. or

waters and caHted over on her beam
ends, and something was felt to scrape
along her whole side and keel. There

the watch below could reach the deck
the Huafa turned turtle and went
down in 60 feet of water. The suction
carried down all who were on deck,
and of that whole crew only IA men es-
capped with their lives, and among them
was not one single officer, They were
all agreed that the bows of the ship
were suddenly lifted to an angle of 45
degrees and that after a few. seconds
she was twisted to port. and they heard
the Swapping and crashing of wood and
iron.

such an obstruction the idea was
abandoned. Had no one been left alive
it would have been set down to a boiler
explosion, but the testimony of the ii
survivors was against such an acct
dent. All were agreed. that there was
no explosion of any sort and that the
propeller was still revolving as she set
tied down. AS the unfortunate craft
had cost about S3.O00000 and this was
the first trip. the Spanish government
went in for the NEST thorough inyesti-
CATION. The depth OF water was not
beyond the divers. and buoy was set
to mark the SPOT as tear as might be
until men could 20 down. 1t was two
weeks later before The divers were
ready. and then 81 second mystery was
at hand. The Huafa was not to be
found under Or III The neighborhood Of
the buoy. For the first time in the
history OF the port it was learned that
there was stiff current running along
the bottom OF the bay. entering from
the north and going clear around it to
sweep out to sea on the south side.
The surface of the bay was only dis
turbed by wind and tide. and even as
far down as 40 feet no current could be
felt but the last 10 feet of water be-
fore touching bottom had the rush Of
mill race. When this fact was made
clear to the searcbers. they extended
the field of their operations. The cur
rent ran strongest as the tide flowed
in and directly in opposition. The
Huafa had come In on almost a full
tide. and the current would therefore
drift her along the north side OF the
bay. or so it was reasoned. As a mat

searched without finding any trace OF
her Then a search Of the south shore
followed. and tl.en they hoped to find
the sunken craft in some eddy near the
center. 1t was five months before the
divers declared that the bottom was
clear of wreck Of any sort.
Now came the question Of what had
become Of the man-of-war. 1t did not
seem possible that such mass OF
wood and iron. with the weight Of her
guns and stores and unfortunate crew
