STEAMERS HULL RAISED.
The Old Columbia Pumped Out and
Again Afoat.

The hull of the ferry steamer Columbia,
which was burned and sunk in her slip at
the foot OF TIN street southwest the night
OF May 13 last is again afloat. having been
raised yesterday by Merritt & Chapman s
precking crew from Norfolk, under the
command of Capt. Cooley.
The wrecking schooner John Haggarty,
with pumps and other appliances for rails
ing sunken vessels. arrived here Sunday
afternoon from Norfolk in tow of the tug
Nette. Early yesterday morning three big
pumps were placed on the sunken steamer
and two boilers were placed on the wharf
to furnish steam to the pumps. Temporary
bulkheads were placed about the matches
to keep the tide out and divers went about
the vessel under water closing all the
openings they could find
The tide was low about o'clock yester-
day afternoon and the pumps were started
at about that hour. and within an hour the
vessel began to raise. Before O'Clock the
huh was afoat.
The operation of raising the vessel was
witnessed by large throng of spectators.
1t was the first work of the kind that has
been done here in many years.
Examination this morning showed that
the hull OF the steamer is not at all DAM
aged and her boiler and machinery are
good for service again.
The insurance readjusters were at the
wharf this morning and inspected what re-

struck 1t in numerous places. the metal
being melted and fused and the surface
of the bronze deeply furrowed. In some
places the metal has been gouged out by
the electric bolt and projects like spikes.
A correspondent of The Star. in a letter
printed last Saturday, related an interest
ing incident which attended the completion
of the statue December 2 1863. when the
last section of the figure was hoisted into
place. The correspondent stated that there
was among the workmen an intensely pa
triotic sailor named Sanders Saunders.
who kept insisting the work went on
that there should be some means pro-
vided for displaying flag above the statue.
His fellow workmen considered IL a good
joke but on the eventful day of compile
ton they were Mortified TO see him DELHI
erately climb to the shoulders of the statue
and drawing a flag from his bosom stand
erect and fling its starry folds to the
breeze. To the crowd below the sailor was
but a pigmy. and his flag looked no bigger
than a handkerchief, but the cheers that
rose to him on his dizzy perch told him
his act was appreciated.
1t is interesting to know that the statue
was completed on the anniversary of the
execution of John Brown at Charlestown.

in December, 1853.

LIFE IN AN AQUARIUM.
Various Ways in Which the Fishes
Head Up Against the Current.
From the New York SUI

From the New York Sun.
The current set up by the infiowing water
ir a circulating aquarium tank makes
complete circuit of the tank. The fishes in
such tank often head up against this
current for the sake of the air there is In
it, Most commonly when they do this they
get right down at the intake opening,
where the flow is strongest, which is to
them like what sitting at an open window
where strong breeze was blowing in
would be to humans The fishes may not
all be able to get right at the opening.
and so they cluster around 1t near 1t,
getting as close to it as they can; though
sometimes they show a remarkable intel
ligence in SO dlsposing themselves as not
to blanket one another. and yet all get
practically an equal share of the air.

May Accompany Their Regiments.

The question was recently raised at the
War Department whether soldiers who re-
enlist in an organization while in the
Philippines will be transferred. except at
their own request. to another organization,
because of the fact that they have more
than a year to serve, when their own or
ganization is relieved from duty in the
islands. The matter having been submitted
to the Secretary of War he has authoriz ed
the statement that soldiers who re-enlist in
the Philippines will be returned with their
regiments when the latter are ordered to
the United States. unless they prefer trans
fer to another regiment for the purpose of
remaining in the Philippines.
