Big ICE BREAKERS.
Modern Vessels Overcome Amy Ice Re-

u b ers depend for their eff
6 8 cheney upon their ability to
Il + ride up onto the ice and
12o% break down the edge of the
sheet by sheer weight, thus biting
their way through the sheet. Such ac-
ton requires that the hull shall be con-
structed with the greatest. possible
stiffness, the vessel being subjected to
stresses which would break an ordln-
airy ship in two. With this great
strength there must be ample power,
the combination of the two being need

sells Of this kind are now in active SER
vice in Copenhagen, Kiel, Riga, Stock
holm, Amsterdam and other ports, be-
sides many small boats used as post
boats and pilot boats in the Baltic, the
German coast and the Black Sea. A
typical example Of the boats used in
general service is found in the Sampo,
operating in the port Of Hango, in Fin
land. This vessel, which was built on
the Tyne, has a propeller at each end.
the bow engine having 1900 horse pow
er and the stern engine 1850 horse
power. She is POP feet long and 1000
tons displacement, with a full draught
Of eighteen feet. This float breaks
through field ice twelve to sixteen
inches thick at a speed of eight knots,
and she can work through drift ice
eight to ten feet thick at a rate of two
to three knots. also breaking down
larger packs without much trouble.
The greatest of modern ice breakers
is the Ermack, built originally for use
in the Baltic, but also occasionally en-
ployed elsewhere. This vessel is 33335
feet long, seventy-one feet beam and
5000 tons displacement, with a
draught of twenty two feet. She
was originally fitted with a bow
propeller as we'll as the twin
screws at the stern. this propeller,
with its Independent engine. being in
tended to aid in breaking up the ice.
The bow propeller was found useful
for one year old ice. but became choked
and useless in polar field ice and hence
was removed before the vessel was
sent to the Arctic. In solid ice two
feet thick, with six to twelve inches of
snow on top Of it, the Ermack can
make a speed of nine knots, while she
can charge and demoiish packs Of ice
twenty to thirty-five feet il thickness.
Especial interest attaches at the pres
ent time to the ice breakers on Lake
Baikal, in Siberia. these forming a pOr-
ton Of the system Of the Trans-Sibe-
rian Railway. The Baikal, which is
the powerful ice breaker for this serv-
ice, is 292 feet long and 1900 tons dis
placement, and is fitted with three
lines of rails for the locomotives and
cars forming the train, there being also
a promenade deck for the use Of the
passengers during the crossing. The
field ice on Lake Balkal forms thirty
six inches thick. and also forms heavy
packs, but the ice. breakers have been
found successful in carrying the regu-
lar passenger trains and the mails
across throughout the winter.--Engi-

The Secretary Bird.

The secretary bird is a South African
species, though it is found as far north
as Abyssinia. 1t builds its huge nest
of sticks in low bushes or tangled un'
derbrush. While sitting the female
secretary is fed by her mate. The
young mature in strength very slowly,
seldom leaving the nest till six months
old.
The secretary bird differs from the
other members of the hawk tribe in Its
exceedingly long legs. 1t is a bird OF
prey, feeding on insects. small ami
mails and reptiles, snakes being its ia.
vorite food. These reptiles are often
of the most venomous kind; but OF
them the secretary feels no fear, at.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-An action OF
nc mean proportions was reported in
progress on the Russian left flank.
The advantage seemed to be on the
side Of the japanese, though at heavy
cost. From advices from the front it
is difficult to say how severe the losses
have been or how decisive the reverse,
and whether the Japanese are likely to
attempt to drive in the Russian left
much further. H.,
General .Kuropatkin evidently has
been trying to- establish his left flank
far in advance to command the ross
ings of the Taitse River, the operation
being a counterpart Of General Grip
enberg's movement on the right flank
to secure the fords of the Hun River
preparatory to the breaking up Of the
ice in the spring.
The scene Of tie. operations is fifty
miles southeast of Mukden, beyond To
Pass, an important defle commanding
the road to, Fushun,. Both armies oc-
cupying apparently impregnable posi-
tons on the centre, General Kuropat-
kin evidently planned to inaugurate
widely sweeping operations on both
TANKS, but the: Japanese countered
hard. 49,. =.
Dispatches from the front indicate
that the weather is fine and favorable
for operations, and that all Is quiet on
the Russian right wing.
According ITO a Vladivostok dispatch
to the Associated Press, the entrance
to that harbor is open, and the squad
ron. which is seaworthy, is apparently
taking no, risks, but Is saving its
strength for cooperation with Vice
Admiral RojestYensky's squadron.
