The political Pot in democratic
circles has apparently started boiling
and from present appearances the
kettle that holds tie next U. S.

hard time to keep the water from
boiling over. The latest entry brought
into the race by lis friends is ex-
Mayor Hayes, OF Baltimore. The ex-
Mayor ranks high in Baltimore cit,

that if he goes into the race that Ess-

said he Major O'Dowd), as he placidly
pulled his nightcap over his ears, that
there will be such a ball danced in a
day or two as some of 'em has never
heard the chune Of; and he was much
more happy to retire to rest after par
taking of quiet tumbler than to figure
at any other sort Of amusement.
Peggy for her part, would have liked
to have shown her turban and bird of
paradise at the ball, but for the infcf-
nation which her husband had given
her and which made her very grave.
"I'd like We wake me about half an
hour before the assembly BEATS the
major said to his lady. Call me at
half-past one, Peggy dear, and see ne
things is ready. Maybe I'll not come
back to breakfast, Mrs. Cd with
which words, which signified his opin-
ion that the regiment would march the
next morning, the major ceased talking
and fell asleep.
Mrs. ODowd. the good housewife,
arrayed in curl papers and camisole
felt that her duty was to act, and not
to sleep, at this juncture Time enough
for that she said, when Mick's gone;
and so she packed his travelling valise
ready for the march, brushed his cloak,
his cap and other warlike habiiments,
set them out in order for him and
slowed away in the cloak pockets a
/ light package of portable refreshments,
and a wicket covered flash or pocket
pistol. containing near a pint of re-
markedly sound Cognac brandy, OF
which she said the Major approved
very much; and as soon as the hands
OF the repayther' pointed TO half-past
one, and its interior arrangements Ot
had tone quite equal to a cathaydral,
its fair owner considered), knelled forth
the fatal hour. Mrs. O'Dowd woke up
her Major. and had as comfortable
cup OF coffee prepared for him as any
made that morning in Brussels. And
worthy lady's preparations betokened
affection as much as the fits OF tears
and Mysteries by which more sensitive
females exhibited their love. and that
their partaking of this coffee, which
they drank together while the bugles
were sounding the turnout and the
drums beating in the various quarters
of the town. was not more useful to
the purpose than the outpouring OF any
mere sentiment would be?
! The consequence was, that the
Major appeared on parade quite trim,
fresh and alert, his well-shaved rosy
| countenance. as he sat on horseback,
giving cheerfulnees and confidence to
the whole corps. All the officers saluted
her when the regiment marched by
the balcony on WHICH this brave woman
stood and waved them cheer as they
passed; and l dare say Il was not
from want Of courage, but from sense

in a few moments enough water was
expelled TO make clearance between
the remaining surface and the bottom
door of the air lock, so that an IN
spectcr could make sure that the equip
ment was in proper condition Tor tur-
Their operation. Then more compressed
air was turned'into the hold and prac-
tically all of the water driven out OF
the space. so that the engineers could
stand on the exposed tank top at the
bottom fthe compartment-the water
drained out of the hold under the I'M
pulse of that invisible air and halted
at the uppermost edges of the torn
plating. Then it was that the sand
hogs" took up their part of the job.
1t may sound strange to you that
sand hogs" should be employed for
this work, but their training in tunnel
building and calsson operations has
made them peculiarly valuable for all
forms Of compressed air service, and
Mr.. Wotherspoon invariably utilities
/ them.
The way the sand hog goes about
this particular work is instructive, and
upon this operation largely depend the
quickness and the ease with which the
stranded or sunken craft can be re-
Goated. You understand, of course,
that the water can be expelled from a
flooded division only down to the up

they grow up they can get up and
rustic together their own breakfast,
and sew on their buttons and darn
their own socks, so that their wives
won't have a thing to do but to 60 to

IGNORANCE OF COOKERY CLOGS
UP DIVORCE COURTS.

DIR. Cadman does not believe that
cooks are born, not made. He believes
that a grain of truth lies In this state
mcnt, but that n woman who wants to
care for her home in a way to retain
the love of her husband will do well TO
buy a cook book and study the science
and art OF cookery. He thinks that the
effects OF heat and moisture. at various
degrees OF temperature, and the several
combinations necessary TO secure def
mite results, under ordinary circum-
stances, can become as thoroughly
fixed in mind as the multiplication
table or the deolension Of nouns. And
he thinks 1t would not take much more
of a woman's time than for her to put
on her street clothes and stand in line
al the delicatessen store waiting for
her turn at the canned comestibles.
The majority Of girls in America be-
come proficient in mathematics before
the age of fifteen. statistics show. but
as vet II is only the favored few who
receive any systematic training in the
principles of cookery. There are not,
DR. Cadman fears, enough Of these girls

THE METHOD OF PROCEDURE
NECESSITY FOR HASTE.

The foregoing bare statement OF the
order of procedure does not give lay
man any idea of how the work was
Done, and this is the part that is most
interesting and novel. 1t was twofold
i'm character: First, the ship had to be
relocated, and then repairs made so
that she could get out of the river be-
fore the ice held her There were finan-
ciai considerations at stake that called
for haste, but haste had to be made
without hurry. lest the temporary re-
pairs be insufficient and the ship again
be imperilled as we'll as her compile
ment.
AT Montreal there is q drydock large
enough 10 take vessels of the size of
the Royal George, but drydock charges
are pretty heavy, and in the case OF
this particular vessel would have rep
resented a daily outlay of quite $1,000
for every day she remained there un-
dergoing repairs.
Now. let us see how the ship was first
relocated. The Royal George. though
built of steel, had wooden decks, and
these decks did not overlie metal ones,
as is so commonly the case. These wood
en- decks would not have withstood air
pressure-especially that deck imme-
diately over the damaged compart-
ments-because the force Of the con-
fined air would have blown the calk-
ing out from between the planks and
have made IL impossible to maintain
a sufficient pressure 10 expel the water
through the bottom rents. Therefore
MIR. wotherspoon covered this deck
upon its upper side with several layers
Of tarred paper. and over this ne put
a solid flooring OF spruce boards, after
the seams in the deck planks had been
recoated with pitch.
THE hatchways were Theoretically
sealed by steel plates and air locks
were secured TO these hatch plates.
and by proper doors passages were
made for the workmen who were later
10 90 down into the damaged holds.
piping connecting with the compressors
also led through the steel hatch covers.
so that air could be pumped down into
the Hooded spaces.
Everything being in readiness, air

cumstances permit or the exigencies OF
the case require.
With the vessel thus liglitened and
the tide favoring, she may either float
off unassisted or she may be easily
dragged from her Judgement upon the
rocks by means Of salvage craft OF
suitable tugging power. In the case
OF the Royal George the rising tide &C
complished her release after Mr.. Woth-
erspoon had plugged her holes ana
drained the biggest Of the flooded COM
partments. There were no fewer than
sixteen Of these rents in the ship s
bottom, and they represented a total
area of seven hundred square feet!
This actually meant that nearly 40 per

permost edge of the pierced plating.
Any excess of pressure which may
crowd the water lower merely opens
ready escape for the air. This would
mean waste OF effort and a needless
of energy and fuel. Ac-
cordngly, the first aim Of the sand
hog" after he can enter the compart
ment is to roughly plug these open

little hammering smoothed out SUM-

the mean time very long weighted

BigJobDone on Royal
George by Same
Engineer.

a COUPLE OF years ago Richard
N II. M. Robinson, who won for
himself an envisble professional
reputation in designing the United
states steamship Michigan and others
Of our first big dreadnoughts, resigned
from the construction corps of the
United States Navy TO seek wider
field. Now it is announced that he is
TO play an important part In the SAL
wage efforts TO be centred upon the
sunken Empress of Ireland. The cargo
OF the foundcred liner is a very valua-
bic one, but success in recovering 1t
will demand The latest thing in under
water operations.
Mir. Robinson will have associated
with him prominent New York en-
gineer. william Wallace Wotherspoon,
and. inasmuch as il is said that COM
pressed air is TO be employed in the
present instance, the story Of what Mr..
Wothcrspoon has already done in the
case Of a stranded sister ship in the
ST. Lawrence River is especially perth
ncnt and proof of the fitness of these
experts for the job cut out for them
in the case Of the Empress Of Ireland.
In November Of 1913 the 14,O0O-ton
steamer Royal George, trading between
Bristol, England, and Montreal, strand
cd in the st. Lawrence about nine miles
below Quebec. She missed her way
during a dense fog, and while running
at full speed landed upon the rocks
when outward bound. Besides, she hit
al high tide. The ship was on her last
trip for the season, and her predica-
ment was a serious one, because the
river was likely to freeze up ere long
and if not got off the vessel was certain
to be exposed to the sweep of crushing
ice foes.
