After winding about in the Tehachapi
district the autoists came upon the
country that had recently been flooded
and trouble was again the feature of
the trip. In order to prevent the
wheels from sinking in up to the hubs
the five autoists set about to fin gunny-
sacks with sand. These filed, they
were placed one after another in the
mass of adobe in front of the wheels
so that the machine could be driven
over them and escape sinking into the
mud.
On getting clear of the adobe
stretches of road the party continued

FISH IN SUNKEN BOAT.
Hold of Vessel Contains Food Stuffs Upon Which They
 Fatten.

Portland, Ore.-When the steamer George w. Elder is finally fioated her hold will be found alive with fish. This was brought to light the other day by one of the divers when he emerged from hatch No. 2 after hay ing made a final examination of the patches put over the large break that sent the steamer to the bottom.
 The water in the hull is black, and the diver was completely in the dark, but in groping his way over the bot tom came in contact with a veritable school of fish, which he believes are carp. He says they were so thick that he had to push his way through, and he could feel the commotion in the water.
 The fish have been feeding and growing fat on the flour and other foodstuffs allowed to remain in the after part of the vessel to keep her on as even a keel as possible, and be- sides they have been sheltered from the strong current and have had things their own way for more than a year.

RIGHT C0MPASSES
NAVY DEPARTMENT TO HELP
 NAVIGAToRS OF LAKES.
Marks to Be Set Up at Points Where Beds of Iron Under Water Disarrange the
 Needle.

Washington, D. C.-The navy de- partment has sent Commander Reg inald F. Nicholson, assistant chief of the equipment bureau, to Cleveland to take steps to help the captains of lake vessels to rectify their troubles with refractory compasses. For many years past these shippers have been both cred hy the cratic behavior of their compasses in different localities on the lakes. At first it was thought that the cargoes of iron or other ores they were carrying in their vessels were re- sponsible for this deviation in the needles; but nowadays it is recognized l that the real source of the trouble lies in the nature of the bottom of the lakes, and not in the cargoes. Great beds of iron underlie the lakes in various places, and these affect the compasses.
 It is to correct this evil that Con- mander Nicholson is going to Cleve- land with instruments that will enable him to set up, at certain conspicuous places, marks" fixed at the true north, so that the captains of passing ships may note any errors in their com passes and make the necessary adjust ments At present it is his intention to set up these marks" in St. Clair river and in the straits of Mackinaw, which will cover the greater part of the lake traffic.
 How strongly the undertake infiu- ences affect the compasses of lake yes sels was revealed to a traveller last summer while crossing Lake Ontario on a lumber steamer. From the time the ship cleared the mouth of the St. Lawrence river on it's westerly pas sage until it was across the middle ground in the center of the lake, the captain or mate stood upon the fly ing bridge coming the ship from the compass on that lofty height. EX- perience had taught the skipper that natural conditions under the bed Of the lake affected his compass in the wheelhouse so materially that the com- pass was practically useless in that particular portion of the voyage, and consequently the vessels course was kept by the compass upon the bridge, which was so far above the disturb ing mineral elements as not to be af- fected by them. For the greater part of the run across the lake the com pass in the wheelhouse was point or two off from the true direction of the one on the bridge. The marks" to be set up by the governments hy- drographers will enable this particular captain, as well as others, to correct such Ceviations every trip if they care to.
