doing this One is to lash pontoons alongside the

make the court ladies give up their cigarettes. The
result that those who did not already smoke
took up; many of the court ladies already
prejudiced against her by the old Empress and by
the way she had acted on the question of religion.
The educated people here, like anywhere else, have
little use for dognas, and they rather thought it
small on her part to make such fuss over the form
in which she should say her prayers.

0CIENTIFIC methods having been
- used at last with notable success to
~ save wrecked vessel, the practice is
to become an established custom in this
sngularly antiquated calling. For it is
as strange as it is true that the impor-
tant business of wrecking, or salvage, has
not kept pace with the development in
other industries of the sea. AS result
of this unprogressiveness, almost all of
the thousand vessels of mere than hum
dred tons burden which annually 60 to
the bottom stay there, when many of
them might we'll be saved.
Nearly all the vessels which are lost at
sea are cast ashore. Often the wreck is in
a position sufficiently sheltered to admit
of salvage operations. Yet it is only in
exceptional cases that wrecks have been
saved, because in fifty years salvors
have not advanced beyond the crude
application of main strength and little
elementary ingenuity. Sometimes the
elementary ingenuity is omitted, as in
the case of the Prinzessin Luise, which
went ashore on a sandy beach off Port
Royal, Jamaica, December II, 1906. The
Luise, which draws seventeen feet of
water light, lay in the sand with only
ten feet of water round her for most
of her length. Yet a wrecking company
actually had the temerity to attempt to
the hard wet sand by means of tugs.
The whole history of wrecking from the
to the evolution of twentieth century m
epitomized in the story of one vessel, the
which ran on Wye Rock in the St Lawrer
miles below Quebec on the night of Nov
1905. As the Bavarian was a new twelve
ton vessel worth a million dollars, her owl

In the attempt to save the Bavarian, Il

through long practical experience in
tunnel and caisson work in New York,
offered to save the Bavarian. AS there
was nothing to lose, since the vessel had
been abandoned as a total loss the under
writers consented.
The first thing to do was to ascertain
the exact distribution of buoyancy or the
lack of it in the wreck, and what was
necessary to be done to relieve undue
strains and keep the vessel on an even
keel when she was once af1oat. This re-
quired nothing more complicated than a
lead pencil and scratch pad. Next
timbers were introduced as the lead pencil
indicated to strengthen the hull. Then
the matches were fastened down and the
compressors started.
When this was done properly the
wreck simply had to come up. While
there is limit to the amount of water that
can be pumped out of a wreck, there is
no limit at all to the amount that can be
driven out and kept out by compressed
air When a cubic foot of water is pumped
out, the whole ocean is ready to replace
it, and will replace it unless the divers
can do pretty good job of patching but
when a cubic foot of air is pumped in, it
stays right there and keeps cubic foot
of water out until it is released. One
pound of air pressure to each two feet of
