1T is impossible to kidnap any
sirf from New York street if she
has a mouth to holler," says an Of
fetal in charge of the missing"
cases of this city. Police files show
397 disappearance of women and
girls during the last four months of
1913. But the secret is that the
missing girls" don't want to be
found, and in many cases their vol
untary going is reported but the
reasons kept quiet by relatives and
their return is not reported, which
makes the list of "lost" long one
to look over. Many leave home be-
cause of unpleasant surroundings.
because Of distaste for school work
and few disappearances are due to
accidents. The missing list aver
ages thirty week, but none are kid
mapped. ~ -

BREAKING ICE BARRIERS.
Dynamite and Little Tugs Lead the
Assault on the Great Lakes.

Up on our great lakes winter holds
those waters in suffenCd grip for
several months. substantially putting
an end to well nigh all traffic, but even
so. IL is the mission Of certain OF the
big car ferry steamers to maintain
something of an approximate schedule.
However, every now aud then the
gathering ice packs catch and bold
them despite the best the steamers can
do. and it is only by using dynamite
that they then succeed in breaking
through these frigid barriers. Occa.
sionally il is a veritable battle he.
tween titanic forces. and it takes cour-
age for officers and crew To maintain
the struggle Success is not always
because it is still fresh in the minds
Of many how gallant Captain Mcleod
and thirty others persisted aboard the
Marquette when that ship fOundered
in December, 1909
What strikes one most forcib!y, II he
has seen winter conditions upon the
great lakes, is the manner in which
little tugs are used TO break passage
clear for large steamers when their big
kin are quite incapable of working
their own way through the ice. not
withstanding their greater bulk and
far more powerful engines. The secret
lies in the fact that the tugs are able
TO roll about after poliing their noses
into the foe, and In this manner they
attack the ice in direction where 1t
is least capable of offering effective
resistance Instead of assaulting the
ice edge on where il is supported by
hundreds of yards-if not. indeed. by
several miles of solid pack small
craft bear down upon thickness of so
many inches, and by sheer weight and

motion. they force 1t asunder.

A NAVAL COMEDY.
Surrender Of the Spanish Gunboat Cal.
lao at Manila.

On the afternoon of the 18th (May
u. 1899 a small Spanish gunboat
came steaming up Manila bay. directly
toward the American feet The sur
prise Of the people in the feet was
great; this little vessel seemed so con-
fident and friendly. Finally one OF
our ships fired shot across her bow.
This did not seem to make any differ
ence to her, for she kept on just the
same. Then we saw an officer go
alongside from the flagship.
We found out that evening that this
vessel was the Spanish gunbOat Cal
lao and that she had been cruising in
the southern part OF the Philippines
for a long time and had not heard
about the war. and. the time Of her
cruise being finished. she was now re-
turning to Manila. The officers and
men had been looking forward to this
for long time. because in Manila
they were TO find their wives. children.
parents, friends, theaters. clubs, ho-
tells, newspapers and all the things
that make sailors look forward with
happiness to getting home. They saw
a great many ships in the harbor fly
ing the American flag. but this did
not give them any uneasiness. and
when the first gun was fired by the
American ship they did not notice that
the shot came across the bow Of their
own ship, and thought it was simply
the first gun of some salute.
But when the second shot was fired
and they heard the waizzling of the
shell they knew something was wrong.
And when the American officer came
on board and told them that every
ship in the fleet was destroyed and
that they themselves were prisoners
of war their feelings of joyful hope
went through change that. let us
hope. few of us will ever knOw.-From
