Americas Cup Contests.

We would suggest that, since rae
Ing for the Americas Cup under ex-
listing conditions is at an end; and
since, after all, the cup is merely an
emblem of the sport, and it is the
sport and not the cup that is the ulti-
mate object of yacht racing, it might
be as we'll to make a sufficient mod
Ifcation of the old rule to encourage
the yachtsman not merely OF Great
Britain, but of that other great yacht
ing nation, Germany, to make a try
for the famous old trophy.-Scien-

Island Annexed.

Off the northwest coast Of Aus
tralia there is an island which till
recently belonged to no one. 1t is
not a very large island. In fa%, it
measures only 365 yards by thirty
yards. 1t has, however, a good an
chorage, and for that reason it's pos
session may at some time be valuable.
The British Government has, there
fore, annexed the island, and an cffi-
cial notification of the fact recently
reached the Commonwealth Minister
for External Affairs. The new Brit
ish possession is known as Cartier ISL
and, and is almost surrounded by
coral Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

The Russian crow steel works at
Stations in the Ural district have Sc
cured the right to manufacture steel
electrically by a process owned by a
German company and using induction
furnaces. An electric plant will be
Immediately installed by the Siemens-
Halske Company, and the product
will be marketed directly. -,
Cork, cut in very thin sheets and
treated to remove all resinous mat
ter, is being used in France in the
making of waterproof garments and
hats, caps and shoes. After treat
ment it becomes as flexible as leather
and will not break. In the manufac-
ture Of garments such materials as
cotton, silk, wool and felt are coated
with it.
From the Chinese port of Tsingtau
comes a report of an improved ma
chine for making straw braid. which
is likely to revolutionize that INDUS
try. The manipulation of the abpa-
ratus is very simple, and 1t is said
that one person can turn out twelve
fold more with this machine than by
hand. The machines are now being
made in Germany.
Steel manufacture by the electric
furnace is making good Roadway. At
the present time there are in opera
ton about eighty furnaces of the cleo
trio type, namely, nineteen Of the He
rau-t system, fourteen of the KEELING,
ten of the Stassano and the same
number of the Roechling-Rodenhau-
ser and Girol, the other twenty-seven
furnaces being of eight other systems.
The common notion that a tent IS
specially hygienic is incorrect. Atent
is far less hygienic than a wooden
shack, because the air is more con-
fined and there are no windows to
open. The best shelter for invalids
camping in a dry region, like the Ari-
IONA desert, is made Of four posts
supporting wire netting, into which
branches of some tree have been wo-
ven, leaving just enough light to read
by.
The recent observations Of Comet
Morehouse are not clearly decisive
for or against the theory of light
pressure. Barnard find that the mo-
ton of luminous knots along the tail
is unaccelerated. The development
of a comets tail takes place at the
rate of something like 100 kilometers
a second, and is maintained unaltered
through distances comparable to that
separating the sun from the earth.
This result was obtained in a vague
way many years ago by Oilers and
others, but from observations which
rested on the very uncertain limit of
the visibility of the extremity of a
comets tail. Barnard's observation
is more precise, and is in agreement
with the hypothesis Of a force whose
acceleration diminishes a S a result OF
the motion impaired by its own &C.

WHERE ONE MAY EAT AMID BEAUTY

In all OF greater New York there is possibly no

OF never ending comment and surprise OF their

There are indeed many restaurants n New

II Indian, in his birch canoe. could start at
lew York Harbor. paddle up the Hudson to
Fort Edward. into a little creek end. with a
short carry. resume his journey down Wood
Creek, through Lake Champlain and the SOrel
followed by the Champlain Canal from the Hud
son to Lake Champlain.
BY going up the Hudson and the Mohawk. the
aboriginal voyager was able TO carry across t.
Wood Creek at Rome and thence through Oneida
Lake and the Oswego River to Lake Ontario
and from there to the Great Lakes or down the
st. Lawrence to the ocean.
Along the water levels of the state the Indians
found it most natural and convenient To lay
their great main trail east and west from the
Hudson TO Lake Erie, which i'm latter days was
followed by the bed of the Erie Canal. The Ioca-
ton OF their territory with respect to the Hud-
son and the means of communication through
streams and trails along level ground served as
a factor in making the Iroquois Indians the
strongest and foremost race of savagcs ia the
country north of Mexico
How much the present supremacy Of New
York State and the city at the Hudsons mouth
is due TO the natural considerations that are
part of the Hudson Valley and it's contiguous
territory may easily be seen by scarcely more
than cursory examination.

ceedingly favorable reports he made of the val
