This newcomer, the Seneca by name,
Is officially designated "derelict de-
stroyer" and not only is she a novelty
among American ocean-going craft,
but is unique in the world, being the
first and only vessel of the kind ever
designed or constructed. The primary
function of the Seneca is, of course,
indicated by her title, "derelict de-
stroyer,' but the usefulness of the
powerful vessel is by no means con-
fined to the removal Of derelicts,
wrecks or other menaces to naviga-
ton, as was eloquently proven by
the part she played in the relief Of
Republic.
Indeed her role is to be that of a
missionary of relief at sea-affording

Comforts of a Snow House

area of the dome-shaped hut; then, on
the principles of architecture that ap-
ply to domes, whether made of store
or snow. the beehive house is COM
pleted. Two men can in an hour build
a house large enough for eight to
sleep in. When the house is COM
pleted a doorway is cut in it's side
near the ground, skins are spread over
the floor, one brushes himself as clear
of snow as possible and crawls inside.
The oil lamps are then lit, and the
house is soon brought to a tempera-
ture considerably above the freezing
point; for snow is one of the best
known nonconductors of heat, and the
intense cold of the outside penetrates
the walls only to very slight degree.
But when the house gets warm the in
ner side of the snow dome begins to
thaw, and the water formed is sucked
into the snow, blotter fashion; when
this water penetrates far enough into
the snow to meet the cold from the
outside it freezes, and your snow
house is turned into an ice dome SO
strong that polar bear can crawl
over it without danger OF breaking

The experience of those who tent In
the arctic during the colder winter
months is to be summarized about as
follows:
When the tent has been pitched the
temperature within it is some 15 or ~
degrees higher than outside, or 30 de-
grees below if it is so below in the
open; one is damp and warm from
the strenuous exercise of the day, but
soon becomes cold, and shivers; one
crawls into his sleeping bag and
makes entries in the diary clumsily
with ones mittens on; the heat from
ones body forms hoar frost on every
thing in the tent, and congeals in the
sleeping bag, SO that it becomes stlff
and heavy with ice during the days
travel, when it freezes, and soaking
wet when one gets into it at night
and thaws it out; this in turn vets
ones clothing, and the trousers and
coat freeze stiff as sole leather when
one breaks camp in the morning; the
"a hours are round of wretchedness,
and the ice-crusted tent and icy sleep
ing bags become a heavy load for the
sled.

Now that the hunters are return
ing from the mountains many are the
tales told of pranks played.
One old hunter was telling MS
friends the other day of a prank ne
played on young and energetic hunt
err from New York, a man who be-
lieved he knew all there was to be
known of wild animals of the WOODS.
Every day this ambitious young
hunter would go on the hunt for deer
alone and return with tales OF the
footprints and other signs he had
seen of deer within short distance OF
the camp. Every depression among
the leaves on the ground, every leaf
turned over and every twig snapped
was a sure sign, to his mind, that deer
had been on the ground, perhaps a
whole herd of them.
Early, very early, one morning the
old hunter arose quietly and took with
him the hoof of a deer that he car
ried with him for luck-a big buck's
hoof-and crept to the tent of the
young hunter, where he made impr1nts
on the soft ground all around 1t. Many
times around it went the footprints,
and then off into the woods.
When the young hunter arose III
the morning and saw the prints, clear
and distinct, he said nothing, but de
cided that he would sit up that night
and shoot the big buck and so gel
ahead of his companions; especially
the old hunter, who thought he knew
so much.
He sat up that night and many 9th
err nights in the bitter cold while hi
companions slept peacefully and com
fortably under good warm blankets

First Use of War Balloon.

At the battle of Fleuris, June 70.
1894, in the French revolutionary
period, the balloon was for the t1rst
time used in the service of the army.
The Austrians, stupefied, saw the cap
tive airship Entreprenant above their
heads at height of 800 meters. This
apparition greatly angered the Aus
trian, Gen. Cobourg, who cried out:
