as much armament as possible. The
hull lay on one side. with the keel
on a horizontal, and the first steps
were to turn the ship over and bring
1t on it's keel. This was done with
Jets Of water forced under one size,
which dug out a sort of ditch into
which the hull gradually slid until at
last 1t was in vertical position. The
big guns were then hoisted Usual
methods of closing the holes failed
and a shell or outer vessel inclosing
the wreck had to be constructed to
completely envelop it. Three large
pumps. built in Japan for the special
purpose and capable of pumping $500
tons of water per hour, were installed
on big floats over the wreck and con-
nected to auxiliary vessels for steam
supply. On August s, 1906, an un-
usually high tide was running and the
effort was made. In a short time the
hull had reached the surface and re-
pairs were made in hull and machin-
cry which permitted the extraordinary
feat of sailing to Japanese port un.

In the work were engaged. in addi-
ton to the officers and divers, about
800 Japanese naval mechanics and as
many Korean helpers. The cost, in
cluding the three big pumps, was
about $500,000 Had the same meth

keep it from slipping backward. The
other edge is kept up by means of two
shaky, slender supports. A rope is fas-
tened to the upper edge of this board
and to the gates so that one-half of It
when the board is propped up, allows
the gate a to swing open and the 9th

keeps the sheep confined. The trap is
now set. A dog seeking entry into the

RAISING THE vARYAo.
The Remarkable Success of Japanese
Engineers.

On February 8, 1904, the fast Rus
sian cruiser varyag, $500 tons, was
driven from the neutral harbor Of Che.
mulpo, and after engagement with the
japanese feet was riddled with shot
and sunk by her commander. For 80
months she lay on the bottom, deep
in mud. which partly filled the ship,
then was brought to the surface and
is now in service In the navy which
sank her.
The event is extremely interesting
as the most notable success of its
kind, and accomplished under diff.
culties which were pronounced i'm
possible to overcome. Not only was
the hull nearly buried in mud, but

Good Prices for Stock.-The era
of cheap meat seems to be as far off

There is undoubtedly room for much
increase In the production of live

ing at the rate of 100000 a year and
plenty of work in sight for everybody,
the possibility of any alarming sur
plus in the supply Of food for many
years has been practically eliminated.
