On the bank of the river near Phipps-
burg Center for years an old hulk, once
fine schooner. has gradually gone to
decay, her days of usefulness being
over. The craft bears on her stern the
maine 'Hyue." Many people have seen
the old hulk there and wondered from
whence came the peculiar name. The
story goes that when the craft was
built the master builder was constantly
calling to his men Hi: You" and when
it came to selecting name for the
craft she was given the aprellation
above alluded to.

Clumsy Canoeists.

did YOU ever see any thing absurd IN your
life?" The speaker was of group OF tourists
on the upper deck of a steamer, at Valdez, Alaska
He was pointing at native in a skin covered canoe
The fellow would give two three vigorous strokes
with his paddle on one side of the boat, until she
was headed way round and then two or three on
the other side, sending her equally off her course IN
the other direction The merest novice at canoeing
knows that you can hold a straight line by giving
the paddle little twist at the end of the stroke
A little later the tourists an even more an1az-
ing sight In another skin covered canoe were two
more A1euts They would both paddle briskly on
the same side of the boat for short time and then
both switch over to the other side. They kept the
boat zigzagging as if she sailing up a narrow
channel against a strong head wind. If each had
stuck TO one side they would have travelled twice
fast.
The second officer of the steamer happened along
inst then 'Took here" some asked him.
"Don't any of these natives know how to paddle
canoe? What about all these stories you hear OF the
skill of such people with the tools that earn their
living"
Il never saw an A1eut yet who, knew how to
paddle" said the second officer, "and I've been
around these waters for twenty years It's DID, too,
because they are such daring seamen. They will

Trains on French Roads.

Consul General Robert P. Skinner, of Marseilles,
furnishes the following information concerning the
running of passenger and freight trains on the
highways of France:
There recently passed this consulate Train
Renard" composed of loconotor, two passenger
cars and one baggage car, which had Just arrived
from Paris under its own power and over the ordn-
ary roads, thus supplying to the public demonStra-
ton of its own efficiency. The trains mentioned are
composed of elements, each receiving the energy OF
vehicle called the locomotor which, being placed at
the head of the tran distributes the necessary power
to the following elements by means of TRANSMISSION
shaft extending from end of the train to the
other, thus enabling each to utilize Its adhesion TO
the road surface as a of advancement
The locomotor-that is to say, the creator OF the
energy-is therefore lighter than any OF the cars
Trains of this type completely loaded are able to
maintain a speed of 81 kilometres (13O5 m1leS) an
hour in case of passenger trains on levels and OF
from Is to 16 kilometres (9.32 to 9.94 miles) an
hour in the case of freight trains 1t is said that
freight trains of this type are able to maintain an
average of from 10 to IL kilometres (621 to 745
mi1es) fully loaded, in any kind of country.
1t would be useless to enter into further deta1ls
regarding these highway trains, far as the United
States is concerned inasmuch without
road system sufficiently advanced to make their appli-
cation possible On the other hand the adoption of
passenger and freight trains over raless roads in
France has become not only possibility, but TACT
Already hundreds of inaccessible hamletS, hitherto
served by slow going digences kept in constant
contact with the outside world by means OF large
auto omnbuses, moving at average rate OF htteen
miles an hour transporting both passengers and ex-
press parcels; and now following this development,
comes the explosive engine motor drawing full trains
of cars which it is claimed can be operated on level
or mountainous roads at exceedingly moderate
expense In other words, if all that is claimed tor
these trains is realized it will be possible to give

not at present enjoy railroad facilities, approx
matey the advantages with respect to trans

This illustrates how much the creation of better
highway sytem would benefit the rural populations
of the United States, who at great disadvantage
in regard to transportation compared with foreign
communities and deprived of the various kinds of
satisfaction resulting from the existence of modern
highways.

Martin Patrick Sullivan, age years

of No. Ala North Hayne street, made

been unsuccessful.

did not leave the school grounds I'M

dismissed for the day. The boy then
left, presumably for his home, only
a few blocks distant.
From the time he left school he was
not again seen, according TO those
who made a search for him during the
night. There was but little uneasiness
regarding the youngster until night
fell, it being thought that he had pos.

schoolmates, but as it began to grow
late, inquiries were made, and then a
search commenced.

A Factors Opinion.

in my opinion" said prominent
factor, and one who is well posted on
conditions, to a Journal representative
yesterday, "tilis advance in the market
is only temporary, though it IS, of
course, possible that it is permanent.
My reason for believing that the adj
vance is only temporary is that do
not believe any of the large buyers
are under the market. but only the
smaller ones. who will be unable TO
keep it up for any material length
of time. The larger buyers. the ones
who really control the market, have
nothing at stake at the present time,
their stocks all 'heing small. contrary
to the usual conditions at this season
of the year
Brokers have been buying rather
freely, however, and it is. of course,
possible that the advance is due to this
cause and a light production. Later
the big fellows may get under the
market, and if they do the advance
will continue
