SHIPS ANCHORS.

FIukes to Curved Arms.

THE ship's anchors in general use up
to the beginning of the last century
consisted of a long, round IRON
shank. having two comparatively snort
straight arms or fukes, inclined 10 the
shanl, at an angle of about forty de-
grees and meeting 1t In a somewhat
sharp point at the crown. In large an

this is not the case The holding power
of an anchor depends on two principal
conditions namely, the extent OF use

vertical penetration. The latter quail

In the year 1881 chain cables began
to supersede the hempen ones, with the
result that the long shanked anchors
hitherto in vogue were no longer nee
essary, and anchors with shorter
shanks and with heavier and stronger
crowns gradually came into use. In
consequence of these changes, COM
mission was appointed In the year 1888
to inquire into the holding power of
anchors and a principal result of its
labors was the adoption Of the so called
admiralty pattern anchor, which con
tinued to be used in the British navy
up to the year 1860.
The invention of the steam hammer
In 1912 made the welding of heavy
masses OF iron comparatively easy
and reliable process, so that from this
time onward the strength of anchors
| fully kept pace with that of the chain
cables. which had come into general
use. A number of patents for anchors
were taken out prior to the great exhi-
bition of 1851, and, public attention
having been called to the models there
shown In the following year. a commit
tee was appointed by the admiralty to
report on the qualifications of anchors
Of the various kinds.

Washington.-The United States
has notified Russia that this govern
ment will present a claim on behalf Of
the American firms that have merchan-
disc On the Arabia consigned to neu-
tral ports.
The notification was sent to st. Pc
tersburg at the instigation OF U. s.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon. acting as
attorney FOR the Portland Milling COM
pany, and Maxwell Evarts and d. A.
Chambers, attorneys for the Portland
& Asiatic line, the corporation which
has the Arabia under charter.
Ambassador Mccormick was in
structed to procure the Russian side
Of the story. At the same time he
was informed that the Arabia carried
about 100000 worth of -four and $780,
900 worth Of other merchandise, con-
signed to agents at Hongkong.
Both the milling company and the
shipping agents contend there was no
contraband goods aboard the ship.
Therefore they will insist upan dam
ages for delay If the ship and cargo
are released, or in the event of the
ship and cargo are declared prizes Of
war full indemnity for the cargo.
The first effort of this government
will be to ascertain the facts. II they
are as represented by the agents and
shippers, claim for indemnity will be
made by it.
Upon the showing so far made, Rus
sia Is liable for the damages resulting.
The ship is a neutral vessel, bound
with neutral cargo from one neutral
port portland, Ore.) to another neu-
trail port (Hongkong). The last named
port is SO far from Japan that it will
require the strongest sort of proof to
convince this government that the
-four and other parts Of the cargo were
intended for the use of the Japanese
forces.
OF course il Russia can prove that
the cargo was intended for the Japan
ese army or navy, the government will
have nothing upon which to base a
claim for damages or reimbursement.
The question of the sutficiency of
proof rests in the first instance upon
the Russian admiralty court, to which
the Arabia Is taken for trial. But the
United States is not finally bound to
accept the judgment of the Russian
court. Upon the ground OF fraud or
prejudice it can demand hearing on
the merits of the case through diplo-
matte channels.
The impression prevails here that
when the time comes Russia will dis
avow the seizure and offer suitable in
demnity for the damage caused there
| by.
