CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. 31.-- What may be considered one of the most appalling experiences in the his tory of the sea has been reported here in connection with a voyage recently made by the American ship Scorpion through the sea of Marmora during the frightful subterranean disturb ances of some days ago.
 The ship is now safe. having been brought in by a relief expedition es- pecially sent by the government for the purpose. Many of the crew are prostrate with the horror of their ex- perience. The captain relates that not the story of the Ancient Mariner nor that of The Maelstrom by Poe Is filled with more weird circumstances.
 The sea at times. he declares. took on the appearance of 'veritable in- ferno composed of water. At times the ship was elevated on spotus far above the level of the sea. while at other times 1t sank into crater like abysses as the bottom of the ocean seemed to

Is now always in order, and the public is
likely to be called on from time to time
to fatten the vaults.
Mr.. George Gould may be preparing
to retire from Wall street and live
abroad. as reported, but his election as
director OF the Guaranty Trust Com
pany-a big Morgan institution-does not
look as though this was his program
He has been interviewed repeatedly OF
late on the railroads with which he mas
been identified, and he still seems 10
take lively interest in what they are
doing. This talk about him seeking re-
tirement on the back shelf may be only
partly true after all. Mr.. Gould is sup
posed to be stronger in actual cash than
ever before in his history. The popular
theory in Wall street Is that he has sold
large lines of securities and put the
proceeds on deposit.
New York Central does not expect TO
refnancing completed before the end OF
the year. and until all is over the Van
derbilt stocks are likely to be strongly
supported in the market. The most pow
erful interests in Wall street are actively
identified with the New York Central
and the New Haven combinations. They
are amply able to do with the market
about what they want to. and to pursue
any policy they may see fit to sustain
themselves. For instance. a knowledge
that Central has put into its net earn
ings nearly 100000 which ought to
have gone into maintenance during the
last seven months does not cause the
slightest ripple or arouse the fatntest
criticism by the financial press. although
the figures are available to an analyst.

The announcement by the government
that no portion Of the budget surplus of

of the sinking fund was disappointing
and caused consols and other gilt-edged
stocks to lose an improvement established
earlier in the week, while discount rates

A COURSE IN CHORES.
Practical Instruction for Boys in St.
Paul Schools.
From the Pioneer Press.

From the Pioneer Press.
A committee from the Bethel Women 8
Club will appear before the school board
at its next meeting and present petit
ton asking that boys be taught how TO
make useful articles for the home in their
manual training courses.
The clubwomen wish to have their boys
learn how to make screens, repair broken
windows, chairs, put storm protectors
on doors and the like. and think that tne
manual training classes in the pupnc
schools may better be devoted to instruc-
ton along these lines than to fancy wood
working and cabinetmaking.
This movement is the outcome or
meeting recently at the Bethel, at wnich
Mrs. Hannah McGhee. principal or the
J. ]. Hill School, talked on The Proper
Amusements for School Children, ana
included in her address a suggestion that
the club put forth its endeavors TO have
the manual training courses changed
THE boys may as well be acquiring
knowledge which they can put to practl-
cal use in their own homes" said Mrs
McGhee. There are dozens of ways in
which boys can help their mothers in 90
ing small repairing around the house
such as fixing screens and putting on
storm windows. This would save count
less small bills for professional carpenter
work"

Cinnamon as Students.
From the Popular Science Monthly.


There are today In some OF the univer-
stiles Of America and Europe Chinese
students who in laboratory work, in
physics and other natural sciences are
distinguishing themselves even I'm COM
parison with western students. The Chi
nese have a power Of application and pa
thence and a capacity for detail that is
destined to bring success in scientific in
quiry when once they get the background.
adopt the method and make the start.
The Irresistible progress destined to be
made by western science in the Chinese
empire will surely undermine Chinese
faith in the Book Of Changes" which is
at the base or Chinese philosophy. What
ever Is permanently true will remain in
imperishable blocks. but the structure as
whole will fall in ruins. with Chinese
ideals pit:lessly and irrevocably shattered.
At this critical period OF the disintegra-
ton of outworn forces. what new moral
and spiritual ideas are to replace the old
in order that the new state of these peo-
pie may not be worse than the first? :
