GREAT OCEAN HIGHWAYS FOR COMMERCE
The Completion Canal Will Have Some Marked Ef'
fects Upon the Lanes of Ocean Travel

There is usually an east and west
lane few miles apart to lessen the
danger Of collision. Out of Duluth, on
the great lakes, there is a four track
lane, two for passenger steamers and
two for freighters.
Although the oceans Of the world
have no visible streets or crossings or
signposts, in the eye of the navigator
they are thus very distinctly marked.
No railroad train makes so direct a
line between points as the steamship;
no locomotive engineer knows more
exactly where he is at all times than
the sea captain.
Sailing vessels, responsive to winds,
tides and currents, go about more at
random, yet there are enormous areas
Of the sea where no sail or smokestack
is ever seen. Even on the steamship
lanes of the Pacific one seldom spies a
vessel in a trip across that ocean.
Nearing the Suez however, from either
approach and it will be the same with
the isthmian canal, it seems as If the
ships of the world were out on parade,
SO plentiful do they suddenly become.

The completion of the new Panama
canal will have some marked effects
upon the great lanes of ocean travel.
Vessels have, to be sure, for years gone
into Panama and Colon for the trans
shipment of their freight across the
isthmus by rail. The effect Of the
opening of the new canal may be lik-
ened, says the London Mail, to that of
the substitution of a strong bridge at
a convenient place for crossing river
for a more or less uncertain ford. Such
a bridge attracts wagon roads The
canal will draw toward it the CONNER
cial highways of the hemisphere,
Vessels which are operated by steam
can pursue an almost unvarytng line.
Their managers accordingly prescribe
courses between various ports, known
as lanes, over which practically all the
shipping moves. In case Of break
down the vessel is much sooner pick
ed up" on a lane than in less frequent
ed parts of the sea. Moreover, rocks,
derelicts and other distractions may
be more carefully charted and watched
on the highly Travelled courses.

had topknot locks Of hair to sacrifice,
and the shrine used to have more Of
ferings OF hair than now.
And then there are swords, swords,
swords until the eye wearies Of rang
ing over the crowded hilts and scab-
bards and blades laid closely together,
overlapping on every fat wall space.
At the least rough estimate there are
10000 sword blades on the walls or
the Yakushi shrine, and one sees great
bundles of them laid on the rafters
overhead Splendid blades have gone
to rust and ruin in this dark temple,
and hundreds of short swords were
given out at the time of the China war
of 1894 to the soldiers who made their
last vows here Some of those swords
came back from Korea and Man
churia and were borne to this shrine
with great ceremony by rejoicing com
panies of friends and relatives OF the
returned soldiers. Shell hairpins and
combs those expensive and treasured
ornaments of the women, have been
offered in such numbers that the
priests have strung them ladderwise In

Fired From Guns mt the Bow.
Thrilling Experiences with Mon
ster Fishes Not vitality Injured.
Catch of 1903 "A Record Breaker.
In an article which presents all the
| thrilling interest of some of the old
! tales Of voyage and adventure in whal-
revival of the whaling industry by the
people Of Newfoundland.
| Instead of two and three year voy-
ages In which ships boats used in
capturing the giants of the deep, the
Newfoundland industry is prosecuted
in the immediate waters Of the island
by the use of small but handy steamers
Of about 100 tons burden, with speed
of about thirteen knots. The "strike"
is made with a bomb fired from a gun
at the bow of the steamer. A successful
shot results in almost immediate death,
and three, four and even five whales a
day have been taken by single crews.
One steamer brought to the shore five
whales each day for three days in sue
cessiOn, and another one killed twenty
three in a single week. That is the
purely commercial side of the industry,
and is quite as dull and prosaic as dig
ging potatoes.
But there is another side which is
full of thrill and excitement. Taken as
a sport, it bears about the same rela-
ton to the most exciting salmon or
tarpon fishing that those sports bear to
the pursuit of the shore clam. One
day last March a ninety-one foot bull
whale, struck, but not vitality injured,
toWed the Puma around and across
and up and down Placentia bay for
three days before a killing shot could
be sent into his huge body. Reversed
engines throughout the fight failed to
tire the monster. Again and again he
charged the little vessel, and ramming
was avoided only by the quickness of
the steamer. After seventyfour hours
of this there came the opportunity for
killing shot.
The Humber had tWenty-eight
hour struggle with another off Cape
Spear The Cabot had nineteen hour
fight with an eighty eight footer. Six
to twelve hour runs with danger in
every minute of them are frequent.
When killed, the whales are taken to
shore stations where the oil is tried
out, the whalebone, now worth about
$4,000 a ton, is extracted, and the
refuse ground up for fertilizer.
Four steamers are now at work in
! the coastal waters of the island. Their
catches for last year were: Puma, 26O;
Humber, 215; Cabot, 211; Viking, 1T,
total of 1853, a record breaker in the
history of whale fishing.

FoRaINGs DECLARED DEFECTIVE.
Iowa's Guns Were Afterward Severely
Tested and Found Satisfactory.

1t has been found by the inquiry which Is
being made into the cause of the explosion
Of the Iowa's guns that the forgings from
which those guns were made were defect
i've and that they had been rejected by the
naval gun factory in this city because of
certain defects in the material. The gun
factory was sustained in this action by sew
eral boards, and the material was accepted
only by virtue of an order signed by Rear
Admiral Sampson, then chief of ordnance
of the navy. After the guns were COM
pleted they were put under severe tests at
Indian Head. and proved satisfactory.
While being tested unusual pressures were
applied to them, and they were fired sew
eral times after they had been mounted on
the Iowa without showing any sign of
weakness. Properly testing guns and gun
forgings Is very hard matter, and nothing
short of cutting into the steel itself and so
running the metal for use, will show abso-
lutely whether the material is perfect.
Rear Admiral O'Neil, In his last annual
report, intimated the need in the service
of a permanent ordnance corps for the
navy, and this need has been called atten-
ton to in a most forcible manner by the
explosion of the Iowa's guns. At present
there are no regular or permanent officers
on ordnance duty, and sometimes officers
are detailed for that duty who have had
no training in that direction, and the serv-
ice consequently suffers, which would not
be the case II a permanent ordnance corps
was established

Smoot Inquiry.

After having Joseph F. Smith, president
OF the Mormon Church, on the stand for
nearly five hours yesterday before the SEN
ate committee on privileges and elections,
which is Investigating the right of Reed
Smoot to sit as senator, both the prose-
cutipn and the defense announced that they

This was Mrs. Clara Mabel Kennedy, who
told some secrets of the Mormon Church
which. if not broken down, will prove as
important the statements by President
Smith that he and other officials have been
persistently cohabiting with plural wives
in violation of the law. Mrs. Kennedy said
she was married by Brigham Young, an
apostle of the church, to James Francis
johnson. a polygamst, since the manifesto
of 1890. and that she has had two children
by that husband. The marriage was per-

Smiths children born since 1890. and over
the protest Of Mr.. Smith Chairman Bur-

swered.
Mr.. Smith gave list of children by the
wives in the order in which he married
them. The list is as follows:
By Julina-Edith and Rachel.
By Sarah-Asenath and Jenneta.
By Edna-Martha, and one child which
died.
By Mary-Silas Agnes, James. and maybe
Calvin. He said he did not know the age
of the last named.
The witness was asked by Senator Bur
rows if Joseph Smith, jr., the founder of
the Mormon Church. was a pOlygamist and
after answering affirmatively. he said that
Mr.. Smith was married to Eliza r. Snow
in 1912. and to Maria Partridge in the 4Cs.
His first wife was living with him when he
married the second" Witness offered to
give the dates later but Mr.. Burrows said
1t was not necessary. and he had inquired
only because he had been Informed that he
was not a polygamist
Senator Overman said that he had a
pamphlet saying that Jesus Christ was a
polygamist. Turning to Mr.. Smith he
asked: rs that what your church teaches p
mo, SIR" was the response. What we
teach is that Jesus Christ was descended
through long line of polygamists through
David and down to Abraham"
Both the prosecution and the defense an
nounced that they were through with Mr..
Smith for the present, but before he was
allowed to leave the stand Chairman Bur-
rows inquired: How many children have
you now Mr.. Smith,?
'Fortytwo." was the answer. Twenty
one boys and twenty-one girls, and am
proud of every one of them"
