TWO QUEER CANOES.
Designed to Travel Upon the Land
of Water with Equal Facility.
Craft Constructed for the Zeigler Exs
petition and Will BE Used in
the Efforts of Explorers to
Reach the Pole.

Two canoes of marvellous construc-
ton have been built in New York for
the Ziegler expedition, soon to leave
Tromsoe. These canoes are built on
new and original plans, for, although
the materials are for the most part
the same as in other modern canoes,
these are constructed with five water
tight compartments. They may De
taken apart in five sections and
placed upon u sledge for transporta-
ton over ice or land, and when water
shall have been reached, as some
scientists believe 1t will be near the
pole, the craft may be bolted to-
gether again and used in the final
dash for the tiptop of the earth.
Each canoe is Is feet long 40 inches
wide amldships and IA inches deep.
They are built 1T Maine cedar, which
combines in wonderful degree
strength, elasticity and lightness.
The ribs are two inches wide and 5-1S
of an inch thick, placed " inches
apart, while the sheathing or plank
ing is three inches wide, 5-32 of an
inch thick and fastened to the ribs
with three-fourth inch copper tacks,
with fiat heads, of great ductiity,
clinched by hand. At either end of
each of the three middle sections Is
an oak bulkhead in one piece 0-16 of
an inch thick. Each section of the
canoes Is covered with cotton duck
ing, in one piece, fastened under the
finish rails and to the bulkheads in a
white dead water-tight Joint. The
pores of the duck are filled with
white lead and over all are heavy
coats of grass-colored paint.
The canoes are built in sections to
facilitate handling when loading the
sledges. The sections will be placed
bottom up one on a sledge, on top

that may be carried Some OF the

PREDICTIONS are being made that II
the balance of the season is propltlous
the present season may yet furnish a
banner corn crop. Many of the farmers
of the central west are planting their
recently flooded lands to ninety day
corn, and with the rich alluvial deposits
left by the receding waters and enough
moisture in the ground to assure a
speedy growth in spite of possible
drought there is still a good prospect
for fine crop if the frosts will only per
init the grain to mature.

President Roosevelt will be given "A
very decided snub, and deservedly, if
he persists in his announced present
intentions to forward TO the car the
protest Of American Jews respecting
the treatment of their race at the hands
of the Russians. The shocking condi-
tons are greatly to be deplored and
afford sad commentary upon TWEEN
tieth century civilization, but the com
ity of nations very properly requires
that each be allowed to regulate its
own internal affairs. The president
had better reconsider his determine :
ton, as there is only humiliation in
store for him otherwise. Our own
country would brook no foreign sug-
gestiCng respecting its internal affairs,
and Russia can be depended upon to
act similarly under like provocation.
1t is to be hoped the president will not
commit 40 serious an internal breach
as it is reported he intends. Waukesha

Emperor William has withdrawn his
offer of a cup for a trans Atlantic yacht
race in 1904, on account of his health,
and has substituted for it the offer of a
cup to be raced for in 1905.
1t is said in Berlin, though there can
be no doubt that the recent operation
on the throat of Emperor William con-
cerned a maligant formation, the pro-
cess of healing has not taken the favor
able course hoped for.
Colombia's outstanding bonds amount
to s13. $4,000. They should pay 8 per
cent, but interest has been in default
since July, 1899. The bonds have sold

Before the Panama outbreak they had
declined to 25, and have since sold at

The provincial government of British
Columbia has undertaken to compel
James Dunsmuir to remove all Chinese
from his Cumberland coal mines. M.

until all Chinese are removed.
