Captain Thompson was afraid that the
Santa Clara would not stand the strain
of heavier pull. AS it was, the Her
cules made better speed by a knot
or more an hour than had been ex-
pected, and made the run from Table
Bluff in three days.
The underwriters have not yet de-
cided what to do with the derelict An
effort will be made to pump the water
out of the hull, ana. if this succeeds,
the Santa Clara, cargo and all, will be
where the question will be settled as to
whether the steamer struck the bar or
the seams were opened under the
pounding of the seas.
The Santa Clara was built in some
what of hurry 10 years ago for the
klondike trade and has always been
more or less Of loose jointed affair.
The hull was strained and hogged at
the launching and this is the second
time that the steamer has been lowed
TO port IN a waterlogged condition.
ro me steamer was launched as the
changed later to James Dollar, and
when the Dollar company sold the yes
sci the steamer was given its third

William Gordon, 10 years old, of
Clinton, N. j., saw picture Of hui
man hoopsnake on a circus poster and
he stole into the hayloft when his
brother Sanford and his sister Belle
went to the Sunday school. There
wasn't much hay in the loft, and the
boy, after few preliminary stunts in
the hand-springing line, buckled his
heels to the back of his neck with a
tation of a hoopsnake. On the third
lap William inadvertently rolled across
a corner of the hatchway and lamost
went through He bumped his ribs
on the edges of the opening in the loft.
That scared him and made him very
tired When he tried to unbuckle his
legs from his neck he found he was
too near exhaustion to loose the strap
He rolled up near window opening
toward the farm house and tried to
shout for help, but his voice was all
in and the hoarse squeak could not be
heard ten yards away. In panic the
boy decided on a desperate measure
He rolled himself over to the head of
the stairs, and then, closing his eyes,
let himself go bumpety-bump to the
bottom. He had such momentum he
rolled right on out through the door
of the barn and over between the legs
of Ketchup and Solferino, the team of
horses the elder Gordon was hitching
up. Gordon gave shout Of astonish-
ment, yanked the human hoopsnake
out of danger and cut the strap with
his knife. Then he laid the young
hopeful across his knee and famed
him with a shingle until the boy had
no other pain save that.

The two heads of the lions move the
eyes and tongue. The astrolabe shows
the hours in its degree and the move
ment of the moon. Moreover, the per-
petual calendar shows all the days of
the year, the feast days and the bis
sextile. The hour at which the chimes
are complete are and o'clock in the
morning, midday and 1 and 2 o'clock
IN the afternoon. The chimes at the
other hours are restricted so as not to
interfere with the cathedral services.
Complicated indeed is the clock of
Beauva1s cathedral. 1t is said to be
composed Of $4,000 separate pieces on
the flfty-two dial plates, the hour, the
day, the week and the month: the ris-
ing and setting of the sun, phases of
the moon, the tides, the time In the
principal capitals Of the world, to-
gether with series of terrestrial and
astronomical evolutions. The frame
work is Of carved oak, eight meters by
five meters, or 26 by 161a feet.
When the clock strikes all the "edi
tlce" seems in movement The designer
wished to depict the Last Judgment"
This wonderful work recalls the work
of Strasburg and is of modern con-
struct1on. 1t is the work of a Beau

Electricity Wins Washing Race.

At the recent electrical show in Chi
cago electricity won very pretty race
with hand labor to see who could wash
the most clothes in a given time
Five pretty girls, operating new
types of electric washing machines
and motor-driven wringers, raced with
six ladies of pronounced color who
did their work by the world-old hand
method, using the old fashioned wash
tubs, wash boards and hand wringers.
The girls started the electric motors
to work on the clothes and spent the
most of their time laughing and
chatting with the visitors while the
machines ran themselves. The col
ored women worked as hard as ever
they could, for If they washed half as
many clothes as the girls and cleo
tricity did they were to get one hun
dred dollars. The suds flew fast and
furious about the colored girls but
when time was called they had not
washed third as many clothes as
their contemporaries did, so they lost
the prize, but were handsomely re-
Warded for their honest work, demon
strat1ng the vast difference between
ancient and modern laundry methods.

THE POINT OF VIEW.


No mans opinions can be free from
some kind of prejudice, conscious or
unconscious. Two rich men, says a.
writer in the Philadelphia Ledger,
were conversing. Both had retired
from active business, and both. as be-
fitted their stations in life, were com
miserating over the things that money
would not buy, and seeking a remedy
for the evils which seemed to threaten
their hard-earned assets and their
serene enjoyment of their declining
years.

other will have to be done some time,'
said one.

other. ~ have been thinking of writ
ing magazine article or two, setting
forth my views on the subject"
What a coincidence! So have /.
What are you going to write about?'
The unequal distribution of wealth
and how to remedy 1t. Do you think
that is a good subject?"

going to take?''

more equitable distribution of wealth
would not come amiss, and [ think L

never do to disturb a man Of wealth
during his lifetime"
"Of course mott"
"On the other hand, however, / think
it is a bad thing for young people to

That's true
Accordingly, l am going to take
the stand that all property should re-
vert to the state at the death of the
man who amassed it. What do you

An acre of 12-inch ice usually will

Fifty thousand tons of SCOT are TAX

Not many years ago only natural
indigo was known, but already the
manufacture of artificial indigo has
reached a point where it has threat
ened ruin to many of the cultivators
of the indigo plant in India. Never
theless, the superiority Of the natural
product in some respects has induced
continued investigation of improved
methods of cultivation and preparation.
It Is now predicted that a new era OF
prosperity for the natural indigo in
austry it at hand. The introduction OF
Jaya-Natal indigo Is said to have re-
duced the expenses of cultivation, and
to have increased the production one
half. 1t is predicted that in the future
1t will cost less to produce natural In
digo than the synthetic dye. Science
has played part on both sides in this
competition.
Comparative immunity for a hun
dred years seems to have made the
French forgetful of the danger to their
great capital from sudden floods in the
River Seine. But the lesson taught
this year will evidently have import
ant consequences. It is suggested,
among other things, that large chan
mel be constructed to lead off the food
waters from a point above the city to
a junction with the regular channel
below the city limits. The cost of this
is reckoned at, at least, $40, 900, 900.
But Paris lies in a great basin, and the
proposed cutoff would not save some
of the suburbs from inundation. An
other suggested solution is to construct
In the higher valleys, through which
the Seine and its two principal tribu-
taries, the Yonne and the Marine, flow,
great reservoirs, to be filled in times
Of flood. This water, it Is argued,
would be useful for irrigation purposes,
as 1t could be distributed at will any
time after the inundation had ceased.
It is probable, also that local protection
will be secured by means of higher
entertainments within the city.
During 1910 it is expected that siren
uous efforts will be made to improve
the already great efficiency OF the gas
engine. Although this form Of engine
enjoyed triumph in 1909 through the
achievements of the aeroplanes, yet it
is pointed out that its old rival. the
steam engine, at the same time greatly
advanced in fuel economy, achieving
a thermal efficiency Of 10 per cent,
figure hitherto associated with gas
rather than with steam engine tests.
1t has recently been discovered that,
owing to erroneous assumptions, the
gas engine has not been credited with
having approached as close to the the
Aretic limit of thermal efficiency at

LITTLE TIN SOLDIERS.

How Scrap Tin from Seattle Is IT'LL
lied in Germany.
The shipment from Seattle to Ham
burg of a cargo of 10000 bales of
SCRAP tin from the Puget Sound can
neries furnishes an example of indus
trial thrift in the utilization OF mill
and factory waste in which Germany
remains pre-eminent. This once-re-
iected refuse will return in due time
in the form of little tin soldiers for
the delectation of the nations Little
Boy Blues" To Germany also go bales
of discarded American stockings for
remanufacture into cloth.
We have ourselves made great prog
ress in the conservation of waste since
the first experiments with cottonseed,
the New York World says. A cows
hoof Is now source of income to the
packer, and in the by-products OF the
oil as we'll as of other industries lies
a considerable margin of profit. There
is no dross or rubbish in the modern
world: even the street refuse of the
city has its potential value.
The intelligence displayed in the
commercial utilization of waste and
the conservation of such minor sources
of wealth makes all the more lnexcus-
able the long delay in conserving the
nations natural resources. In this
also we have a lesson to learn from
Germany.

it has been shown that a gas engine
which by the old standard of efficiency
was supposed to haye attained 80
points out of possible SO, has really
attained 80 out of possible IS. This
leaves so little room for improvement
that experimenters are turning their
