new thing in fog signals is being

I, is we'll known that water is a good
conductor OF sound. and this is TO be
taken advantage Of by the submerged

fathoms Of water by three or four

theory upon which the plan IS TO be
worked out Is that the bell being un-

rsrsons on shipboari al "a much great

pended above the water in the open

From the London News.
Calcutta is threatened with the loss
of its barmaids. and no small por-
tioa of the community violently re
sents it. An order has recently been
issued by the government of Bengal
that a clause is to be inserted in the
licenses of all hotel proprietors abso-
lutely prohibiting the employment OF
women in any capacity in or about
the bar. This prohibition is TO take
effect from the LIST of April. 1902. on
which date a number of women VIII
be thrown out of employment The
result is a widespread agitation.
The number of barmaids in Calcut
ia has considerably increased in re

they are brought out from England

Of the Calcutta Press show that theii

The Explorer IL Meeting Climatic
Obstacles In Siberia.
London, March 25.-I.etters received
here from Harry de Windt, leader OF
the expedition which is attempting to
make it's way overland from Paris to
New York and which left the former
city Dec. 10, 1901, dated Yakutsk, 81.
IBERIA, Feb. 16, announced his intention
to depart on the following day for
Sredne Kolymsk, in east Siberia, 1850
miles northeast Of Yakutsk.
De Windt had then already covered
1000 miles of his land journey since
he left the railroad through binding
billiards. and with the thermometer at
from 25 to so degrees below zero. The
officials at Yakutsk strongly urged Mr..
de Windt not to continue his journey.
They said the conditions were worse
this year than ever, that the cold was
more intense and that spidemics and
famine were raging. The traveller,
however, determined to proceed. But
unless he reaches Sredne-Kolymsk be-
fore May he will probably be obliged
to remain there until winter makes
sleighing possible.

Mr.. Schalkburger agreed to withdraw
the Punishment proclamation issued in

that Acting President Schalkburger's

ed with the instructions sent to Lord

British Press at Sea.
Cautious reserve permeates the news
paper utterances and the comment in
we'll informed circles. Significance is
attached to the fact that in approach
ing Lord Kitchener Mr.. Schalkburger
and those associated with him have
carried out to the letter the advice
given by the British foreign secretary,
Lord Lansdowne in his reply to the
peace note Of the Netherlands govern
ment that the quickest and most salts

ment would be by direct communion
ton between the leaders of the Beers
and the British commander in chief in

that the Transvaal mission received
any mandate from the fighting gener-
ais or that the latter are prepared to
recognize the authority Of their act
ing president, Mr.. Schalkburger, to ne.
g0tiate terms for peace.
The Westminster Gazette urges that
any peace proposal should be regarded
on its merits. pointing out that the I'M
generous assumption that the previous
Boer Overtures We're signs of weakness
contributed largely to the failures of
the negotiations.
The Pail Mall Gazette would like
to think that the brave, skillful com.
manders De Wet and Delarey have ar.
rived at the height Of moral courage
once attained by General Lee, and
have realized that the truest patriot
