the time that everybody aboard was
drowned. but two months later news
reached Bombay that Dondra and four
other half castles had got away in a
boat and reached mn island at the
mouth of the gulf of Manaar a gun
boat was sent down TO make an IN
yestigation and d reward Of $1,000
offered for the five men.
In the month of September Of the
year mentioned the bark Southland,
bound from Liverpool to Bombay, was
making her way up the Malabar coast
under light bfeezes One night in the
middle watch 1t fell dead calm, aud
this state Of weather continued all
next day and night. At midnight on
the second night the officer Of the deck
heard faint shouting and singing to
the east, and as no vessel had been
sighted in that direction he was mys-
titled AS The noises continued the
mate awoke the captain. and it was
finally decided that there were men
adoat in a small boat mile Or so
away. We burned a flare to guide
them and heard shouts In reply, but
it was two hours before q yawl crept
up to Us out Of the darkness. The lit
tie craft contained five half caste Hin
docs, and they were suffering terribly
for the want of food and water There
was but one oar AMI no sail.
The story told BIZ the men, all OF
whom spoke English fairly well, was
that they were part OF the crew Of a
coaster named the Emerald and while
she was making her way up the gulf
of Manaar she had been struck by q
squat and turned turtle. They had
chung to her bottom for several hours,
but had finally managed to loosen the
boat and drift out to sea. They claim-
ed to have been atioat for three days.

Theatrical Managers to Have Circuit.

Theatrical managers from some Of the
larger towns in Vermont and New
Hampshire met at Rockingham hotel in
Bellows Falls recently for the purpose
Of discussing proposition upon which
they could combine for their mutual
protection and advancement Managers
from Keene, Claremont, and Newport,
in New Hampshire, and Bellows Falls,
Woodstock, Barre, and Brattleboro, in
Vermont, were present, and all express
ed willingness to enter into combi-
nation. a circuit, known as the North
ern Circnit,n was the result. BY this
it is expected that not only viii the
managers be benefited, but the patrons
will be offered larger and better prodne-
tions than heretofore
The circuit viii have special repre-
sentative in New York city, ana through
his services the different managers will
be able to book schedules Of attractions
for the entire season.

Some Enterprising Farmers.

Several Townshend farmers are fitting
up their dairy houses very conveniently
Robert Holbrook has churn and separa-
tor with water wheel power, and a
steam boiler and a small engine for
emergencies. He has all the modern APP
pliances for butter making and some Of
the fair sex could take lessons in house
keeping by CHANGING around his domains
at the other end of the town Park Hol-
land has a well ordered dairy depart
ment, with gasolene engine to do the
work Walter Eddy, in another part
Of the town, believes that he can make
butter enough better to pay by having
good apparatus and convenient place
to work. These improved methods and
appliances are some of the things that
are tending to make the farm and the
farmers life attractive.

as appeared later on, members Of a
secret band that had sworn vengeance
on anything British. These men mu-

OF course nothing can
be done but squeeze a

for this reason that the

she is not treated in this

these instances the size of the party and the
length of time it was to be absent being deter
mined upon, and the coal consumption of the
engines fixed, it was easy to calculate the cargo
to be carried, which, plus the dead weight of the
ship and machinery, gave at the displace-
ment needed.
In the present case it has been regarded
as practicable to determine in advance upon
size and proportion of ship which shall most nearly
meet and balance the various requirements, and
let the difference between her displacement and
her own dead weight go for cargo capacity, of which
the greater portion will be coal
The size fixed upon is one hundred and eighty-four

Such conditions of level, unbroken ice of uniform
thickness, are found only in Melville Bay the up
ward voyage where the oneseason ice encountered,
and late in the season when the ice is beginning
to form. The main work of the Arctic ship is that
of threading and pushing and wedging and prying
her way among and between and around fragments
and cakes and large foes of ice the latter of such
thickness twenty to fifty or seventy feeD that
nothing could break a passage through them.

barrier or retreat close in shore from adj
vancing heavy ice, and let it ground outside
of the ship. The element of light draft also
enters into the consideration of the lifting
OF the ship under heavy pressure from ice
foes. The deeper a ship is in the water,
the more difficult will it be for her to rise
and save herself. Sixteen feet has been
determined upon for the new ship, which
will give her displacement somewhat less
than the whalers noted. Length, beam,
and drop having been determined, the form
of hull is to be considered next.
1t has been well said that while a form
of hull that would allow a ship to rise
easily and readily under ice pressure is
desirable, and this desirability has been
recognized, no ship previous to the Fran
had been built to meet that requirement.
In the Fran almost everything else
was sacrificed to this requirement Sea-
worthiness was sacrificed, and as the
Fram's experience in her two voyages
shows, ability to force her way through ice
was sacrificed. For the purpose for which
she was designed, !. e., to enter the ice
and then drift with it, evading destruc-
ton from ice pressure, she was well adapted,
but as the designers of the German Ant
arctic ship Gauss say in discussing the
Fran model, she would have been even
better adapted for this had she been bowl
shaped.
Contrary to popular ideas, the work
which an Arctic ship has to do is not prin-
cipally that of breaking up one seasons ice,
as is done by harbor and river ice-breakers,
in Canadian and Russian waters for instance.

IS apparent Immediately to anyone at all
versant with the subject, I. e., that she sh
be small as is consistent with carrying the p:
supplies, equipment and coal for the work
planned Tor her. The reasons for this are
evident. The smaller ship is, the stronger
She IS, and the more easily handled.
In looking for facts to show the results of
past experience in this field, it is discovered
at once that practically all ice-hoats past
and present have been built by the three
countries Scotland, the United States and
Norway, for the prosecution of the whale
and seal fisheries. In this work the Nor
wegians have operated in the seas about
Spitzbergen, Jan Mayen, East Greenland,
and Nova Zernbla; the United States in
Hudson Bay, and Bering Sea; and the
Scotch principally in the chain of waters
comprising Davis Strait, Baffin Bay and
Lancaster Sound, and their tributaries, with
few voyages to East Greenland and Hud-
son Bay.
The ice conditions encountered by the
Norwegians and Americans may be stated
broadly as foes and broken ice drifting in
an open sea, through which the ships have
to thfead their way. The ice conditions
encountered by the Scotch whalers are a
nearly solid eXpanse of one seasons ice in
Melville Bay, and when that is passed.

It is not only that which is neces-
sary. A law is needed, but it is
law which prohibits the forced sale
! by the treasury when it is proved that
we are living in a complete period of
economic crisis.
From the law OF the restitution of
properties we can gain nothing. 1t is
like pretending to restore life to dead
bodies by means Of electricity.
What is needed. is that The treasury
should respect property, protect it, not

granted the absolute condonement OF
the taxes on the property affected by

is there any need for comments, which
