the flooding of the ship by the high seas
and she was at the mercy of the gale for
forty-eight hours After the steamer got
under Roadway again she sighted at the
east end of Bird rock a wrecked ,'tree-
masted schooner.
The Beacon signaled to her. but there
was no answer, the schooner apparently
being deserted. The name OF the vessel
was not ascertained, but ii is believed to
be the William ]. Learmond. which sailed
from Philadelphia August 22 with a cargo
Of 100 tons of coal for the Jamaican
government.
The steamer. Vera. which has just ar
rived at Port Antonio, reports the Nor
wegian fruit steamer YuEluri, from Balti-

The great dramatic part of ''Dombey and Son. is the story of Edith Dombey and Carker. Take away all the rest of 1.-the beautiful history of little Paul Dombey. the pretty love story of Walter and Florence, the wonderful remarks of that best of mariners Cap'n Cuttle-and this central story would still remain a great novel. Furthermore, it would be a problem novel or a problem play that would be as modern as any of the mod ern ones that are so popular just now, except for one thing. It has simple hu- man tears and human wickedness and human glory in it and shakes the reader like a storm, instead of being stated in the modern form of psychological for mula, wherein the language of the alien ist conveniently takes the place of the language of genius.

The work being done by the Iowa
City men is of considerable signifi-
eance, and should their findings prove
that clans abound in sufficient guam
titles to make fishing profitable, 1t is
more than likely that the industry
will be taken up along the Iowa river.
Government Back Of Work.
Fhe United States bureau of fisher
les is back Of the work, which is being
done under the direction OF Prof c. c.
Nutting, Of the stale university head
of the department Of animal biology
The men started in at Belmond, and

er from this city. The men camp along
the route, and at a point two miles
north Of this city met with the exper-
fence Of having their tent stolen while
they We're out exploring the river.
To Aid Pearl and Button Industries.
The object of the government is to
aid both the pearl fisheries and button
industries of the country. Mr.. Strom-
ston and Mr. Kampmeier are locating
clam beds. determining their extent
and the thickness of population in diff
ferent beds, securing data as to the
distribution Of the different kinds of
clans. In succeeding seasons other
rivers of the state will be explored,
but the Iowa was commenced as rep
resentative stream. AS they progress
the work becomes harder, for the clam
beds are larger and the water deeper.
Clay dredges are used to take speci-
mems and to locate beds, but 1t is not
necessary to dredge the whole length
Of the river, as the presence of clam
beds generally can be told by sight of,
shells near the banks.
