CHANGES IN YACHTS
Notable Differences Between Racine
Boats To-Day and of the Past.
The Winner Of the "America's" Cuv
and the Recent Defender Are I'm
Entirely Different CIasses-
some Yachting Figures.

The present generation which has
AIKEN such lively interest in the recent
series OF International yacht races for
the Americas cup do not realize what
complete revolution in naval archi-
lecture has taken place since British
yachtsmen commenced so years ago
their long struggle to regain possession
OF the trophy won at Cowes in 1851 by
the world-famous schooner America.
Wood has given place to metals of the
most expensive character in the hull
OF the boats; Oregon pine masts have
been discarded in favor of the carefully
butlt-up hollow spars of steel; the
shape of the underwater body has been
changed out Of all recognition, and ir

sources Of modern methods and inge-
nuity have been called in to assist.
The first change of any great conse-
quence was made in 1885, when the
schooner rig was abandoned in favor
Of that of cutter by both the challenger.
Genesta, and the defender Puritan.
The chief difference between the two
boats was that the British craft was a
straightforward cutter, while the
American was fitted with a center
board. The Vigilant was the last
American boat to carry center board,
and she also had the distinction of be-
ing the first metal boat which took
part in the cup races. At this time a
hot discussion took place on both sides
of the Atlantic as to the merits of the
center board, and great interest CEN
tered in the contest with the Valkyrie
H.. Lord Dunraven's yacht.
With Lord Dunraven's second chal-
1enge in 1895 British and American
ideas came more into line, and there
was a good deal in common between
Valkyrie>III. and the Defender, which
was the first absolutely keel boat to
defend the cup. Sir Thomas Liptons
first challenge brought forward the
first British boat built of metal. The
British boat was fuller bodied and not
nearly SO fine in her lines as the De-
fender. The experience gained by Mr..
William Fife In this series of matches
has, however, proved invaluable to him
in the designing of the recent chal-
lenger. Mr.. George Watson had again
with Shamrock H. a fuller bodied boat
than the craft selected by the Ameri-
cans for the defense of the cup; but
in the recent series of contests this
state of affairs was reversed. the Re-
lance being much more fuller bodied
boat than the challenger, besides being
a great deal flatter on the floor
How much We have progressed since
Puritan. the first cutter built for the
defense of the cup, was launched, will
be seen from a comparison of the di-
mansions of the boat with those of Re-
lance, which is probably the most ex-
IRENE craft ever built in the history Of
the racing for the cup. Puritan meas

Cows of hungarian breed, it must
be noted are poor mixers, so much sc
that the milk supply of the country is
to a large extent, obtained from ami
mails of foreign dairy breeds, mostly
Swiss or German. Hungarian cattle
must therefore, be regarded as draught
oxen pure and simple, and though
Hungary is great horse breeding
country, still oxen are used alone for
draught, and reared for that purpose
as being more economical in cost of
food as compared with the horse. and
having the advantage that they can
be fattened after use. The East Indies
and Africa are regions in which it is
probable that Hungarian cattle could
be well utilized. The points in favor
of the breed are that they are reared
under natural or semi-wild conditions
that their size, bulk and strength make
them good draught oxen, that they
thrive we'll on very poor fare, and
that they can resist disease better than

TONS OF SALMON WASTED.
Si1-SeVenths of the Fish Thrown
Away I'm the Fisheries
of Alaska.

| A steamer bound for Seattle touched
at this place day or two ago to take
on lot OF salmon, which had been put
up by the salteries here. One of the
passengers CHANGED to notice that the
barrels which were being raised ON
board were labeled Salmon bellies. -
he asked an officer Of the ship what
was done with the rest of the fish. re-
ports the New York Tribune.
Often it is thrown away" was the
reply. Il have seen thousands and
tens OF thousands Of pounds of good
salmon thrown into the sea-
Why isn't all the fish used ?" was the
| natural question.
In the canneries it is" answered the
officer. but in the salteries they often
pack only the bellies You see. 1t takes
lot OF money to start csnnery. You
have got to have a big building and
expensive machinery for cleaning, boil
ing and packing the salmon So good
many men with small capital start salt
erles. They clean the fish by hand, cut
out the bellies and pack them in barrels
with salt. You see this doesn't require
any pig or expensive plant. The bel
lies are considered the choicest part,
and they bring better prices in Seattle
than the rest of the fish would"
But wouldn't it be just as easy to
salt the rest of the salmon, too?"
Yes, 1T would; but there isn't SC
much money in that. The fish are so
plentiful that while they run you can
catch all you can handle. The salter.
les work all their men as many hour,
as they can in the height of the season
and they find it most profitable tt
hard die only bellies"
How much of the fish is wasted wbe,
this is done?"
About six-sevenths. I have seen
them throw away % pounds of good
meat OF king salmon, and salt only the
belly, which weighed maybe four
pounds"
Then there's enough salmon wasted
every year to feed all the poor of Sc

Yes. If you could only get 1t to them
For that matter, you could make yclr
fortune hundred times over IL You

In spite OF the prodigality in the use
OF salmon, 1t is generally believed that
the supply will never run short. The
United States treasury department has
issued regulations for the artificial
propagation of fry by the owners of
canneries, but complaint is made that
the task is an exceedingly difficult one.
A few hatcheries are in operation, but
the Gamers are handicapped by not hay

quires certain scientific knowledge

TEXAS CATTLE FOR AFRICA.
Fine stock for Breeding Purposes
Sent In Large Numbers to
That Country.

1t was announced in January last that
a large number Of Texas cattle were to
be sent TO South Africa, and in the course
of time it was believed the shipments
would amount to at least 100000 head.
On account of the rindepest and the neg
lect of South African cattle during the
recent war that region was compelled to
import many beef cattle, says the New
York Sun.
The news that came from Texas was
doubtless interpreted by many to mean
that South Africa was importing Ameri-
can beef on the hoof It appears, how
ever, that this was not the case
Several shipments have arrived at
Delagoa Bay and then been forwarded
to the great plateau of the Transvaal.
The Gold Fields News of a recent date
contains an interesting description OF
these shipments, which makes 1t evil
dent that the so-cal1ed Texas cattle are
not the big-boned, long-horned kind
usually associated with the name.
Up to June 80 last 1850 head of cattle
from Texas had arrived in the Transvaal
and seven more consignments were on
the way, which would bring the number
up to IL, $50. Most OF these cattle are
fine. picked heifers and wellbred bulls.
They arrived in excellent condition, and
the first shipment. by the Albanian,
which carried the record cargo Of cat
tie to South Africa, consisting Of 1850
head, had only % casualties on the way.
The significant fact is that Texas cat
lie are to be used largely as breeding
stock to replenish the big Boer stock
farms. For this purpose excellent stock
Of good breed Is being selected. The
steamship Cranley. for example, dis
charged cargo of 1900 heifers and a
few bulls. all OF which were raised on
the best stock farms of southern Texas,
the cargo consisting entirely of Short
horns, -Herefords. Jerseys,
Holsteins and pure bred Devons.
The vast majority Of the cattle which
have arrived are in far better condition
than most veld-fed Afrikander cattle
after moderate winter season. Depots
have been established at Victoria and
other places. where the stock must go be-
fore reaching the ultimate purchaser.
The present importations from Texas
are taken to Africa by large private
company under government direction.
The enterprise is hailed in South Africa
as benef1cient work, for It Is believed
that the importation Of such useful
strains Of breeding stock will eventual
ly tend to an all-round improvement In
the South African herds.

SPANISH MONKEY
Committed Suicide When He Heard
an Old CastiIian Love Song.

Warship surgeons worked for hours
last night trying to resuscitate one
Jocko, monkey and mascot of the
monitor Florida, who for the second
time in one week tried to commit sui
eide in spectacular fashion.
Jocko is known along the coast from
Pensacola to Portsmouth. He has
distinguished career in the navy, and
has entertained and been entertained
by Admiral Dewey and Rear Admiral
Schley.
Born a Spaniard, he became an Am
erican when his ship, the torpedo boat
Isla de Luzon, was captured during
the Spanish-American War. On that
occasion, officers state, Jocko sat on
the port rail of the captured ship, and
as the flag was hauled down ne climb
ed the staff and tried to throw down
the American sailors. So we'll pleased
were the victors with the monkeys
pluck that they took him as a pet to
their own shi'.
Recently Jocko has been ailing. Two
Spaniards who are touring the country
visited the navy yard on Wednesday
last Jocko was introduced to them
as a matter of course. The visitors
talked in pure Castilian to the mascot,
and he seemed to become homesick at
the sound of the old familiar phrases.
Officers say the monkey went aft aft

a most extraordinary thing for mon
key to do He was found in the even

piteously. Investigation showed that
he had drunk potash, evidently, it is
alleged, with suicidal intent.

in his face and his hands crossed.
Unobserved, he went below. a pail

the pail, climbed to the main deck, and,
turning toward the river, waved his
hand to the outgoing craft and drank
the poison. He was picked up by

of land will produce $500 worth of
beans. That is to say. a Jap at S16 per

planting the seed and harvesting the
crop. The product sells for cash,
Such a business as that would make
an Eastern small farmer stare. We

farmers back East can't even make the
living and finally abandon their home
steads altogether. Yet here is a shrub,
which grows like lantana and yields
like IT. which supplies a more profitable
crop to the tiller OF the soil than al
most any other known to agriculture
not excepting sugar in its best days.
II looks as II the castor bean had been
neglected to the detriment of our pros
perity. There are thousands Of acres,
now covered with lantana, which might
be made to carry this oil-bearing plant;
which might better be forced to yield
castor berries at $50 a ton than to main
tain a jungle which costs $50 per acre
to clear away. Hawaii has great cattle
ranges where it takes ten acres
to support one head of stock; yet these
same ten acres, If put into castor beans,
might easily yield the value OF ten or
eleven good cows.
Between castor beans, sisal. vanilla,
bananas. pineapples and tobacco, who
says that the Hawaiian small farmer
has no chance?
