The battleship Maine was sunk in
Havana harbor 13 years ago. The
wreck of the Maine could have been
blown up and thus disposed of at a
cost of $4,000 The Cuban govern
ment wanted to do that in order to
clear the harbor. But Uncle Sam
would not have it, and so for years a
mass of twisted iron, sentineled by
lone turret, has grinned, skull-like, at
the passing world. Congress, aroused
finally to action by public sentiment,
appropriated 100000 to be expended
in raising the Maine
The Maine at the time of the explo-
sion was swinging with her nose to-
ward the Havana shore, and the wreck
lies in line almost west and east,
bow and stern. The buoy to which she
was moored was about three-eighths
of mile from the west shore of the
bay. The wreck lies in about the Gen.
ter of the .harbor.

WOMEN DOCTORS NOT NEW
In the Eighteenth Century There Was
a Lady Student at Hospital
In Florence.

Women as doctors is not, Paris
contemporary observes, product Of
modern ''feminisme." 1t seems that in
the eighteenth century there was a
lady student at Florence. She came
from Malta under the patronage Of
the knights Of the Malta. The ad-
ministrator Of the Majeur hospital
was somewhat embarrassed with his
new pupil, but he found means out
Of the difficulty.
The chief Of the Order of the
Knights Of Malta In introducing his
lady protege to the professors of the
Florence School of Medicine wrote:
1T seems to me that the matter
could be arranged without any great
inconvenience If the young lady were
boarded during the period she was
studying at your medical school with
the nuns in neighboring convent, for
which we would pay five crowns a
week. In regard to her instruction
she should assist in operations at the
women's hospital, notably those per

water inside pumped out. Hydraulic
pumps will suck out the mud and the

exposed.
The construction of this series Of
cylinders is the work now under way.
Half Of the 20 cylinders are down
now. They are made of Lackawanna
sheet steel pilings and about $50 piles
are needed for each. Each cylinder
is so feet In diameter and each pile
is 75 feet in length.
Steam hammers mounted on barges
are used to drive these piles, and four
OF them are at work at the same time.
The bed Of the harbor Is soft down to
about 60 feet Below this the piles
must be driven into from 10 to Is feet
of stiff clay. AS the cylinders are
completed each is filed with clay,
scooped up by an immense steam
dredge from bank near Regia.
The cylinders are connected by an
arc on the outside, which joins each
cylinder by "three-way" pile. The
pocket between the arc and the cylin-
ders will also be filled with clay and

After their long neglect the bodies
OF the unfortunate seamen, who went
to their death on that February night
13 years ago, will find resting place
In the Arlington National cemetery

which now thrusts its top above the
waters OF Havana bay. The decencies
will thus be satisfied. But 1t is not
sentiment alone which is directing the
activities Of the government engi-
neers. If 1t were only that their prob
lem would be immensely simplified.
The cause of the explosion remains
unknown; in the wreck itself the en-
gineers hope to find evidence which
will explain the mystery. All their
plans, accordingly, were laid with a
view to leaving such evidence as
might exist undisturbed.
Briefly and non-technically, the plan
being used to raise the vessel Is as
follows: A series of cylinders-20 in
understanding a cofferdam, are be-
ing sunk in the water, silt and mud
around the wreck. These cylinders,
when completed, will form an egg
shaped dam encircling the wreck. This

WARM WATER FOR DAIRY COW
Experiments at Missouri station Show
Liquid 10 Needed In Proportion
to Milk Yield.

(By H. E. MNATT. Dairy Department.
University of Missouri.)
1t is very important that the water
drunk by the cows giving three or
more gallons of milk daily be warmed
to about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. 9th
erwlse the cows will not drink as
much as they need to keep up good
milk flow. 1t does not take much ice
water to chill a thin-feshed dairy
COW through and through on a cold
winter day, especially when she is
compelled to walk some distance
through the snow or cutting wind
to get to the tank or pond.
Experiments made at the Missouri
station show that drinking water ia
needed In proportion to the milk yield
mat is, a COW giving six gallons OF
milk day, needs about twice as
much water as COW giving three gal
Ions . day. If the water is too cold
to be comfortable II drunk In large
quantities, the COW will not drink
enough, and as a result will drop con
siderably in her milk yield.
When Missouri Chief Josephine was
giving about 100 pounds of milk each
day last winter she drunk daily about
81 gallons of water. Imagine how
she would have suffered If that had
been Ice water. 1t was warmed. how
ever. and Josephine did not chill after
drinking.
A good tank heater. or some other
device should be used this winter tc
warm the water for the cows. 1,
will pay.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

not for year or more that my nails

base Of the finger nail. Sometimes 1t

the pus was discharged the swelling

many as three fingers in this state at

Perhaps ten years later l began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again tried various remedies, among
them prescription from doctor of
q friend of mine, who had suffered
from q like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for time, but 1t was
not q permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was SO irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that could not use it.
I began to use Cuticura. Soap and
Ointment. / had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. l did not use
the Soap exclusively, but rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base Of

as often beside as I could. had not
used it but few weeks before my
nails were better, and in short time
they were apparently well. There

TURNING CATTLE TO GRASS
Some Dry Feeding Should Continue
for Few Weeks to Prevent Loss
In Flesh and Milk.

1t should be kept In mind. now that
grazing time is about upon US. that
the first grass to come is not nutri-
tious to any great extent, and that 1t
cannot be relied on to keep live stock
In good condition. Some dry feeding
should continue for some weeks while
parts Of days the animals may run
on pasture. But II the early grass Is
wholly relied on either for COWS or
other live stock they are certain to
lose in flesh and milk. Nutritious
grass Is nearly balanced food when
1t hardens to nutrition, but not SO till
that takes place. This fact has been
tested by practice many years. and
yet there are some who are so pleased
when grass first comes that they seem
to forget 1t. till they see that animals
on such pastures are failing IN flesh
and milk, and so these things need
to be referred to every year as re-
hinder. For few weeks after pas
ture comes keep up the dry feeding,
and then pastures will be good and
nutritious.
