Queries Regarding capitalization.

about the capitalization of the line
What We're your net earnings last
Year, asked Mr.. Mammalian.

Callahan. II could not be definite
''Oh, YOU can come within $4,000"
suggested the representative.
''Oh, yes, / could do that: 7 would say
our net earnings last year We're $780,
oOn.'..
Isn't it true that your objection to this
bill IS due to the fact that you would
have TO pay more than $50 month. so
that your steamers would have able
bodied seamen aboard them-white sea
men, asked Mammalian.
i should not say that is our objection
there are other reasons. replied Mr..
Callahan.
II suppose il is because you think the
additional l;feboatS would mar the ar
tistic appearance OF your steamers said
Mr.. Manahan.
There is something in that said the
witness. He was then excused.
The bill under discussion is to require
a much greater number of lifeboats on
all steamers. regardless of whether they
are bay. river, gulf or great lakes craft.

Seldom Need Full Space.

The witness, under Mr.. Manahan's
examination. said his company needed
the full capacity on only three or four
trips year, and that the company
would notice the reduction of passenger
space only on these occasions. Fig
uring on loss of passenger service of
20 persons, for each boat, and on the
profit on each passenger at 81 each, Mr.
Mr.. Manahan asked if the loss occa-
stoned by complying with the proposed
law would exceed 500 or $500 a year
The witness did not concede the correct

be an original cost of making alterations
Turning TO the question or able seamen
Mr.. Sherwood said that instead OF ten
deck hands now carried each vessel

SKIES REMIND ONE OF
OLD PICTURES OF HEAVEN
Picturesque Journey Along
Course Pizarro Took.

When we boarded the steamer at
Panama Cor, as the new port is
called. Balboa, and l like the name)
we seemed to be headed for a new
world, says a writer in Scribner's.
This moist and misty air. the soft
hills fringed with tropical vegetation,
the rich islands of the bay Taboga
and Taboguilla, with their little
neighbors. precipitous. yet thickly
wooded down to the very waters
edge, composed a picture so unlike
the usual ports of embarrassment in
more northern climes that we settled
ourselves in our chairs with feeling
of quiet expectancy, anticipating a
voyage on placid waters in the dol
drums under the equator. Nor were
we to be disappointed.
AS we slowly steamed down the
gulf the sun neared the horizon and
it's broad golden rays spread out
great fingers behind the purple
islands, making them appear. as one
of the young women naively ex-
pressed it, like the old pictures of
heaven" Long files of pelicans laz-
lily tapped their heavy wings as they
slowly made their way homeward
against the evening breeze.
An hour later the faint forms OF
the Pearl Islands rose before US
San Jose to the southwark; Pedro
Gonzales to the north, and behind
them the cloud-wreathed summit OF
Rey Island that screened from view
st. Michaels bay. where Balboa
strobe into the surf to take posses
sion of the Southern sea in the name
of the Spanish king. These islands
lured us on like sirens, as they had
many a mariner before us by the
CLINT of their precious gems. to fall
into the hands of some pirate, some
John Sharp or his like, lurking In an
inlet awaiting the galleons, gold
laden. that bore the treasure OF the
Incas for transshipment to Spain.
Following the same track that we
were taking. Pizarro, nearly four
hundred years ago. with his little
company, had set out upon his con-
quest of Peru. And that tall brig
upon the horizon,
'her tiering canvas in sheeted silver
spread"
might she not we'll be his caravel
bound for Gorgona or lonely Gallo or
the verdant islands of the Gulf of
Guayaquil?
