,REFLOATING A SHIP.

Ingenious Expedient Devised to Save
the Steamer Flavinn.
An ingenious expedient was devised
some years ago to refoat the steamer
Flavian, which struck on ledge near
Cape Race. She was fixed in an awk-
ward position for tugs to work at her,
and half her hull was submerged.
It was in the late fall, and proper
salvage outfits could neither be obtain.
ed from abroad in time nor used advan-
tageously, SO series Of holes were cut
In her sides below the tween decks
and huge pitch pine logs passed
through these apertures. Meanwhile
two cofferdams sixty feet long by
twelve wide and as many deep had
been built at st. Johns and, being
carefully calked, were towed to the
scene and allowed to sink by opening
a valve, being then placed beneath the
logs which passed through the ship and
protruded on each side.
The water in them was next pumped
out, and as they rose they caught the
logs and fairly lifted the ship of the
rocks, she being towed to st. Johns
with them upbearing her till perma.
nent repairs could be made, which In.
volved patching her bottom for half
her length. .-Technical World.

is the latest accession to the Agricul-
turai college faculty. Mr.. Grout is a
practical Red River valley farmer
breeding Holstein cattle and Percheron
horses and conducting 7oo-acre farm
near Winnipeg,-and in addition to his
practical work on the farm has had the
experience of four years as instructor in
dairying at the Minnesota Agricultural
college. Mr.. Grout is a graduate of the
Minnesota institution and has been pre-
sented with post graduate diploma for
his work there.
Mr.. Grout is actively engaged in work
in his line in the agricultural newspaper
field and is in sympathy with dairy inter-
ests not only of the college but of the
whole state as we'll. The Agricultural
college is most certainly fortunate in
securing his valuable services.
CLASS WORK.
The present class in dairying is taking
up the work in most encouraging man
ner. Special work is being done in the
study of cream separators and the max
ing of starters-the culture necessary to
produce desirable flavor in butter. The
course is designed to give proficiency in
the managing of practical creameries.

NO CLAIM FOR REFUND.
This opinion was strengthened, as the

make any formal claim for the refund

had lost through the Negligence Of the
