the capsized schooner sighted off Cape Hat
teras December IL by the steamer Onon-
daga of the Clyde line was the four-masted
schooner Hope Sherwood, hailing from
Providence, r. I. The schooner loaded a
cargo of railway ties at Brunswick, Ga, for
New York and sailed from the first named
port November "a and has not been heard
from since she sailed. She is long overdue.
and If no accident had befallen her some
tidings would have been heard of the
schooner.
Capt. G. A. Davis Of Somerset, Mass. is
the managing owner Of the Sherwood, and
was also managing owner of the schooners
Quinnebaugh and Charles E. Wilbur new
vessels, both of which were lost at sea last
year. They left port and no tidings were
ever had Of them, adding another page to
the mysterious history of the deep.

The vacuum Cleaning Process.

A description of the vacuum cleaning
process which has been installed In a
new bank building sounds like dream
Of Utopia and suggests all sorts or
blessed possibilities to the martyrs Of
the dustpan and the broom, whose war
against dirt is as weary as 1t Is inef-
fectual The center of the system is a
tank in which vacuum Is maintained
by means of an electric pump and from
which pipes are conducted throughout
the building In the various rooms
there are taps to which flexible hose
may be attached, and at the other end
of the hose is nozzle, through which
the dust and dirt in d room exc sucked
In without communicating the atmos-
pierre With this system the entire
building can be cleaned in three hours
at cost of less than 800, the results
being incomparably better than those
which could be accomplished by hand.
1t will probably be long time before
such methods reach the homes of the
people, but the housekeeper who Is CIV
en- to dreaming dreams will doubtless
| picture TO herself time when the city
will bring vacuum pipes into the
| houses just as 1t now puts In water
| pipes. and when the terTors Of cleaning
| will be relegated to the remote past.
