OCEAN RECORDS.
The Yacht Atlantic Wins the Cup and
Lowers the Record.

Lowers the Record.
The ocean record from New York to
the English channel has been held
since 1900 by the schooner yacht Endy-
mion, her time from Sandy Hook to
the Needles having been Is days, 20
hours, SO minutes. This time was not
made in a race.
The Endymion's average speed for
the passage was 9.66 knots an hour.
At that rate her time to the Lizard,
which is about 70 miles this side of the
Needles, would have been about IS
days and II hours.
The record of the Endymion, while
the best to the Channel, was not better
in average speed than that of the old
schooner Sappho, famous racer of the
late COS, which made a record passage
in 1869 from New York to Queenstown
in - days, 9 hours, minutes. The dis
lance sailed was 2S75 miles, and her
average speed per hour was 9.66 knots
for the passage, an average which the
Endymion only equaled.
On one day the Sappho made total
of 316 miles, an average of 1910 knots
an hour.
The schooner Dauntless made the
passage also in 1869 from Sandy Hook
to Queenstown in - days, II hours and
minutes, making fresh record for a
days run, 32s knots, which has since
stood.
In the ocean race of 1866 between the
Heprietta, Fleetwing and Vesta, the
Henrietta (winner) made the passage
from Sandy Hook to the Needles in IS
days, p hours and 50 minutes. Her
time to the Lizard was 10 days, hours.
The records for average speed and
best daily runs in ocean passages for
yachts are as follows:

A MAINE SONG WRITER.

How many can give the name of the
author OF those famous songs of the
Civil War times, "When Johnny Comes
Marching Home" and John Browns
Body" They were sung by thousands,
yes millions, Of people generation ago,
and many weary march by the Union
army was enlivened by those popular
airs. The man who wrote them, and a
score of other songs but little less
popular, has died this week, in Phila-
delphia. He was Thomas Bridgham
Bishop, and, as with many other song
writers, hundreds have known his
songs to every one who ever knew the
name of the writer
Mr.. Bishop was born in Wayne,
Maine, June 20, 1925, and passed his
bOyhOOd on farm in that town. He
possessed passion for music and when
young man went to Providence, r. l.,
to pursue his studies. He made a
speciality of the guitar and soon be-
came known as one of the best per-
formers on that instrument in this
country. He belonged at this time to a
small club of kindred musical spirits
which met in local barber shop and
when requested to compose drinking
song for the use of the club he wrote
the song Johnny Fill Up the Bowl"
which later set to different words be-
came the universally popular when
Johnny Comes Marching Home"
The other song by which Mr.. Bishop
was best known also went through a
metamorphosis before it attained its
best known form. This was John
Browns Body" which was written at
the instigation of an uncle of Mr..
pichn,,'c tar Inv nf
Andrew johnson. "Why don't you
write song for the glory of the Lord?"
| asked MI. johnson. you have written
drinking songs for the use of the devil
| why not put your talent to higher use"
GLORY Hallelujah," was the result of
this conversation, which tune was sung
during the Rebellion to the words of
John Brown"
The talented composer had made a
collection of his earlier guitar music
about two years ago and took the col
lection to st. Louis for publication. He
realized chat the guitar was no longer
popular instrument, but desired the
folio for his family, as a memento. ut
will be nice to have after l am gone"
said Mr.. Bishop, but his plans were
never realized, as a chambermaid at
the hotel at which he was staying,
thinking the pencil written manuscript
was waste paper, consigned the work
,, of years to the dust heap, and it was
burned.
Mr.. Bishop has composed more than
800 songs, among the best known being
'Shoo Fly, Don't Bother Me-" Kitty
Wells" Leaf by Leaf the Roses Fall"
pretty as Picture" Nancy Till"
Sweet Evaline," ION tire Down Hill
of Life" 'Good-by, Little May" and
Moon Behind the HILL" Mr.. Bishops
| full name was Declare Miner Voto
Thomas Brigham Bishop, but in later
years he signed his work with the last
three names only. Mr.. Bishop has
made and lost fortunes from his many
inventions and promotions of COM

The Passing Of the Boys in Blue.

Full forty years have passed away
Since peace had closed the deadly fray,
Turned in the arms and out the lights,
Aud comrades of a hundred fights
Had all returned home once more,
AS waves receding from the shore,
That, tempests past, leave naught beside
The foam line Of the angry tide.
And, home again, the Boys in Blue
ReorganiZed as comrades true,
To swear allegiance to the cause
OF equal rights and equal laws,
The Union one forever and
The Stars and Stripes Ger all the land;
And thus all over, near and far.
They formed the mighty G. A. r.
And this Grand Army Logan led
To bless the memory OF the dead
And keep it green while floats the flag
From spar and spire and mountain crag
By decorating everywhere
The graves of those who placed it there.
Forthwith prucaimlng holy, they
Have since observed Memorial Day!
Before the bright, admiring eyes
or thousands meath the vernal skies
They marched in grand review as part
OF what was in each loyal heart;
They decked the mounds which angels see
AS temples where men bend the knee
With fragrant flowers and evergreenS,
To teach what love of country means
But all along the dread decree
That earthly things shall cease to be,
Has kept on thinning out the ranks
And flied the centre from the flanks,
Till now the most pathetic sight
Is just the old commanders plight:
His self delu>iou brings to view
The passing of the Boys in Blue!
''The post is formed, sir" This he hears
With all the pride of former years.
"Rght facet" and Forward march, his
word,
AS if a thousand saw his sword;
With ten he sees the dead and gone,
Their shadows bravely marching on.
All here is seen in sad review
The passing of the Boys in Blue.

Maine River Work.

The Maine survey commission met
ference with Kennebec river power users.
Engineer II. K. Baums represented the U. S.
geological survey. The work to date has
Included river flow of the most important
streams, and in 1904 surveys of most of the
Kennebec and Penobscot rivers.
1t was decided to continue these surveys
and develop plans and profiles of the
Androscoggin river and to Investigate with
a view to improving the storage of Moose
river and the east branch of the Penobscot
head waters. The work of increasing the
flow of the principal rivers will be con-
tinued with perhaps the addition Of few
more gaging stations.

the dangers of the big steamships and

that Is easiest to digest Milk which con-
tains all the food principles, Is known as the
special diet for fevers of any sort. Diluted
milk is easier of digestion than the pure
milk, which curdles almost soon 1t
enters the stomach. One part of lime wa
ter to one of milk is a good proportion.
Milk and mineral water is also excellent.
Fill glass half full of milk and then fill
up with the mineral water. little salt
increases its palatahility. Invalids. by the
way prefer more salt and less sugar, in
any dish. If plain milk agrees with the
patient. he may be allowed to have from
one to two quarts In twenty-four hours.
Milk and barley water peptonized milk,
koumiss and zoolak are all nutritious and
digestible.
Peptonized Milk.-Peptonized milk is pre-
pared by simply adding tube of peptin to
the milk. Each tube contains powder
enough to peptonize one pint of milk The
chief advantage of this form of milk is that
the casein is partially digested before en-
tering the stomach. AS fully peptouized
milk has an unpleasant taste, 1t should he
merely peptonized until it reaches the Bit
ter point for it will finish peptonizing after
1t reaches the stomach.

MONSTER SEA ELEPHANT.
Killed by Whalers Off the Coast of the
Falkland Islands.

From the Scientific American.
A new and interesting attraction at the
Berlin Geological Garden is mounted
specimen of monster sea elephant. 1t can
claim the distinction of being the largest
sea elephant that has ever been killed.
1t was found some eighteen months ago
by whalers off the coast of the Falkland
Islands. They promptly surrounded the
monster, and subsequently slaughtered it
no easy task-and the hide with the raw
skeleton was purchased at high price by
Mr.. J. F. G. Umlauff.
Some idea of the size of the monster may
be gagged from the fact that from the tip
of Its tail to the tip of its tusk it has
total measurement of nearly q feet. Su,h
an animal, when alive, would weigh 10000
pounds, or nearly four and one-half tons.
The circumference of the body at it's wild
est part is some IS feet The skull alone
measures . feet inches long and l foot
inches high.
The sea elephant, seal elephant, Is in
many ways an interesting creature. So far
as size goes, he can give points to the
walrus but he is certainly not SO ferocious
looking. Except for the curious nose
(whence his Greek name) he is just a big
black SEAL fairly agile In the sea and
about the bulk of a hppopotamus, although
more hirsute and with a less extensive
opening of the jaws. He holds among seals
the unique position of being common to
both hemispheres, although from the ardor
with which he has been hunted very few
specimens now exist north of the equa tor
Just now, however, the sea elephant is
enjoying a respite, and is consequently in
creasing in numbers rapidly, particularly
in the southern seas. He forms practically
the only population of many an otherwise
lonely series of barren rocks in the Antarc-
tic ocean. His food consists chiefly, if not
entirely, of cuttlefish. Formerly the ami
