Jets Of Water Dug Out Sort of Ditch

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 its 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 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 8, 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-
der its own steam and power.
In the work were engaged, in add
ton to the officers and divers, about
300 Japanese naval mechanics and as
many Korean helpers. The cost, in
Guiding the three big pumps, was
about 100000. Had the same meth

ours from varied causes Sometimes
the trouble is due to an unnatural
construction of the entire length OF
the canal of the teat, sometimes to
new growths along its course, and not
infrequently to little shot-like bodies
attached to pedicle, which drop
down into the canal from above and
form a sort of a ball-valve obstruc.
ton. Again, says Farm Journal, the
trouble may come from injuries to the
lower part (the sphincter of the teat).
These last causes usually arise from
injuries received from without, and
occasionally are due to warty growths

Good Prices for Stock.-The era
of cheap meat seems to be as far off
as ever and it looks as if consumption
has ,overtaken and passed production.
There is undoubtedly room for much
Increase in the production of live
stock. but with the population increas-
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.

keep it from slipping backward. The
other edge is kept up by means of two
shally, slender supports. A rope is fas-
tened to the upper edge of this board
and to the gates so that one-haIf of it
when the board is propped up, allows
the gate A to swing open and the 9TH
er half holds the gate B shut and thus
keeps the sheep confined. The trap is
now set. A dog seeking entry into the
pen finds the gate open and rushes
over the board, thus knocking it down.
The gate A is closed by the rope and
fastened, while the gate B is allowed
to swing open and set the sheep free.

The bristles of any brush are kept

Therefore any shrinking of the handle
loosens the bristles, and it should al

it should never be allowed to stand
