DYNAMITE ON BOARD.
Passengers on Transport Thomas Sus-
DeCt a Plot

Seattle, Jan. 4.-Dynamite was
found in the hold of the United States
army transport Thomas on her last
trip to the United States, and the vow
age nearly resulted in a terrible ca
tastrophe. An account of the affair
is given by Lewis E. Davis, a passen-
ger on the Thomas who is in the city
en- route to Vancouver.
THE Thomas was loaded with L.
300 soldiers of the Seventh infantry
and 400 saloon passengers" he SAID
this morning. During the stop at
Nagasaki, Japan, 1000 tons of Japan
being done by Japanese labor under
supervision of Japanese foreman.
About 1000 miles from Nagasaki,
in mid-ocean, the news flashed
through the ship that two sticks of
dynamite had been found by the coal
passers in the hold while passing the
coal to the firemen.
1T was a perious situation. The
passengers were electrified with ter
ror at what might have happened and
at what still might happen. The
strictest Instructions were at once is
sued, and the utmost caution observed
in the handling of the coal.
MY opinion, and the opinion of
the ships officers, is that the Japan
ese purposely placed the dynamite in
the coal with the intention of having
the ship blown up at sea. Japanese
agitators wanted revenge for Ameri-
can influence in bringing about the
late treaty of peace.
While in Japan 1 noticed that the

FISHES THAT ARE RACERS.
The TarpOn, Shark and MncI<erel Art
the Speed Champions.

The Tarpon, Shark and MncI<erel Are
the Speed Champions.
Study of the speed of fishes is en-
barrassed by unfavorable difficulties.
1t is not possible, as with birds, to set
up tall poles at intervals Of a quarter
Of a mile and, with the help OF stop
watches, time them as they go by.
Nevertheless investigation Of the sub
ject goes to show that the mackerel If
not the champion racer of the briny
deep, comes pretty near to carrying Off
the honors. Unquestionably 1t travels
sometimes as fast as an express train
at high speed-say, at the rate Of sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal. the larger
the fish the faster it swlms, just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little har-
Dor tug. Undoubtedly the energy en-
ployed by fish of great size, such as
n thirty foot shark when travelling at
its best gait, is something tremendous
An ordinary tug, which represents a
maximum Of energy in a minimum of
bulk, utiliZes about 200 horsepower
OF course 1t is only guess, but 1t
would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that seventy foot whale
makes use of 500 horsepower when 1t
propels its huge bulk through the wa
ter at rate of thirty miles an hour
A whale, which is a mammal and not
a fish, might be compared to freight
train il the shark is cannon ball ex-
press, but It can beat the fastest ocean
greyhound in a speed contest.
If there is fish that can travel fast
er than shark 1t must be the tarpon,
which can probably hit her up" to the
tune Of eighty miles an hour, II pressed
for time. Generally speaking, it may
be said that finny creatures which live
near the surface of the sea are swift
swimmers, as compared with those
that dwell In the depths. Thus the
cod, which is deep water species, ls
sluggish and would stand no show
at all in race with the mackerel or
herring. These latter, which are dis
tinctively pelagic, depend for their liv-
ing upon their activity in pursuing
agile prey, and they must be quick in
their movements in order to escape
their own enemies.
If the mackerel were as big as a good
sized shark it would probably be the
speed champion of the ocean. No fish
Is better shaped for rapid going. Some
Yeas ago a yacht builder In New
York constructed a sloop with hull
patterned exactly after the underbody
of Spanish mackerel. She was called
the Undlne, and, If tradition does not
lie, she never was beaten. Like the
fish after which she was modelled, she
had her greatest breadth of beam for
ward Of amidships-a decidedly novel
idea in boat building. One may say,
indeed, that all modern water craft
are more or less fishlike in their make
up; yet, on the whole, 1t Is surprising
that marine architects have not striven
more earnestly than they have done
to obtain hints from natures own H.
lustrations Of aquatic speed making
principles. es.-Saturday Evening Post.

two other members of the Baker stock

was disturbed by a farmer, who de-

ceived a jolt in the neck that laid him
out and apparently gave possession to
the Camping squatters.
But the next morning. when the the
atrical party was fishing, down came
the farmer with a dozen husky hired
men. and they forthwith surrounded the

 Nothing will be known definitely as to the amount of loss and insurance until the return of the Messrs. Schuler, who are in the east and have not been heafd lroni as to details.

 It is understood that the mill will be rebuilt at once and that new and improv- ed machinery will be used. About 150 men are out of employment on account of the fire. but many of them will be employed in replaying the machinery and putting the mill back into operation.
 About 1500 men are employed in the entire plant of the Southern Steel com pany The mill destroyed by fire last night. while it is one of the most im- portant in the district is by no means all of the local plant of the company and 1t Is claimed the destruction will in no way affect the operations of the company in Ensley.
 The old rumor that the plant would be removed to Gadsden has again been re- vived but it is claimed by men in a position to know that the controlling in terests of the concern have no idea of such a move. In fact the company has within the last few months, spent thous- ands of dollars in repairs and exten- sions. A large amount of new and expen- sive machinery has been added to several of the departments and the capacity of the entire plant has been increased.
