SHIPS BUILT BY sAvAGEs.
South Sea Islanders Are Expert In Ma

South Sea Islanders Are Expert In Ma
rine Architecture.
In the Marshall group OF Islands in
the south seas is a little atoll of coral
known as Likieb atoll. II is hundreds
OF miles away from any other island,
and the natives go half naked like the
other jewellers of the south seas. But
they have learned one great civilized
art, just the same, and that is the art
of building ships.
About forty years ago a Portuguese
sailor was landed there from a whal-
ing ship. When his vessel sailed away
he remained behind. for the lazy
charm of the Pacific island life had
tempted him and he had decided to
leave the restless sea and live the rest
or his days on the warm, sleepy
beaches, where no one worked.
Soon he married the daughter of a
chief and became a trader. After
many years an American captain WIS.,
tied the islands during a trading voy-
age In the south seas and when his
vessel shortly afterward became I'M
seaworthy he set to work on the beach
to build a new one.
The Portuguese whaler's two sons
helped him and learned a great deal
about the operation. The island had
fine, hard wood on 1t, just the kind OF
timber that shipbuilders value because
it will not rot or waterlog readily. The
captain at last succeeded in finishing
good 4O-ton schooner and sailed away
In her.
Before long the two boys had begun
to teach the natives something Of what
they had picked up and soon, instead
OF the primitive canoes and dugouts
that the Marshall islanders have been
using for centuries, the folk OF the
Likieb atoll began to build canoes
made OF carefully fashioned lumber
and pinned together with rivets.
Now there is a real shipyard on this
little speck lost In the wide Pacific.
A high roof under the palms on the
beach greets the mariner and when he
lands he sees vessels, modern tools
lying around and everything looking
just as it does in shipyard anywhere
on the American coast. only instead Of
workmen in overalls he sees dark ma
tives with hardly any clothing
The wood from which the knees and
timbers are cut comes from an island
on the western side OF the lagoon. II
is called kauoe and is extremely hand.
some, looking much like black walnut.
1t has the valuable property OF grow
Ing harder as 1t grows older and makes
fine vessels.
Tools-all of them of the best kind
wood for spars, etc, are shipped to
Likieb atoll now from New Zealand
and the boats that are turned out in
the savage island have been compared
with American and English built yes
sells that have touched at the place and
found to be excellent in every respect.
The savage shipbuilders have q
queer scale of prices. If chief wants
a schooner of, say, II tons, built for
him, they charge him $1,000 for 1t, but
If a poorer person wants the same
kind OF a vessel they will charge many
hundred dollars less. They do this
quite openly and explain it by saying
that the chief being rich can afford to
pay more than poor person for the
same thing Washington Post.

A DROP MAKES GLASS OF BEER
Discovery of Wisconsin Man Liable
to Effect Breweries.


to Effect Breweries.
The discovery, or rather the re-
searches, of Rhinelander, Wis. 4,
chemist will doubtless have far reach
ing effect on the great brewing indus
tries of the country. This hop dream
is now given general circulation.
This chemist has produced liquid
which is Il 900 times stronger than
the best quality of beer, and one drop
of its placed in large beer glass and
fillde with ice water produces glass
of pure beer of the finest grade.
Experiments have recently been
made with this concentrated extract in
the leading cafes of milwaukee and
st. Louis among connoisseurs of the
amber fluid, and the product form
Rhinelander, some of them assert, is
superior to the best brand produced by
the breweries.
The extract contains an alkaloid
from hops just $500 times stronger than
crude hops, and the active principle of
malt, 12,700 times the strength of
common malt made from the best bar
ley.
With the above is combined an ar
ticle which on contact with water pro-
Guides instaneous fermentation, forming
Bis per cent alcohol, the amount exist
ing in the best brand of beer. A one
ounce bottle of the extract will make
4S0 schooners, or about 80 gallons, of
pure beer.

Child Committed Suicide.

Billings, Mont e, June 2. - The IA
year old dautgher of George Harper
has committed suicide by swallowing
carbolic acid. The child, who was a
member of the public schools, had been
reprimanded by her mother
earlier in the day, and is supposed TO
have brooded over this.
She purchased the poison while en-
route to school, repaired to her room
and swallowed a dose large enough to
kill several persons. Her face and
mouth were frightfully burned by the
acid. The girls action has created a
sensation, as she was an unusually
bright child at school, and Of very
obedient character.

An adjustment of the Chicago team
sters strike by mediation seems as re-
mote as it did two months ago. Peace
negotiations begun last week, which
promised to bring about an amicable
adjustment of the difficulty, have been
abandoned for the present at least and
the strike will be allowed to take its
natural course, according to President
Shea of the transfers union. A nat
ural course means one Of two things,
either a spread of the strike or a de-
feat for the union, as all business firms
now involved in the trouble absolutely
refuse to concede anything further in
the controversy or to bring about a
settlement.

time" said Levy Mayer, chief counsel
for the employers, tonight. I'VE are alb

WHAT MAKES SKY BLUE?
Various Scientific Theories Are Ad-
vanced to Account for the
Phenomenon.

The sky has long been a puzzle to
physicists. There are two mysteries
to explain about tits reflection OF
light and its color, says the Success Mag
azine. The old view was that the blue
Of the sky was due simply to atmos-
pheric oxygen. Oxygen has a faint
blue tint, and the idea was that several
miles of the gas, even when diluted, as
it is in the air. would have bright
blue color. But this did not account
for the intense illumination Of the sky,
and of recent years Tyndalfs dust
theory or some modification Of it, has
been generally accepted This regards
the blue color as an optical effect, like
the color OF very thin smoke, due to
excessively fine particles floating in the
air. which would also account for the
large proportion of reflected light from
the sky. Recent calculations by Prot
Spring, Of Liege, Belgium. however, in
dictate that the dust III the air IS not
sufficient IN amount, nor finely enough
divided. to support this explanation, and
he rejects it for this and other rea-
sons. He has gone back to the old
oxygen theory, and accounts for the
general illumination Of the sky on the
hypothesis. first advanced by Hagen
bach, that intermingled layers of differ
mt density, in the atmosphere, give it
