Norwegian Ship and Two British YES
sells Reported Destroyed.
London. Feb. 24.-The Norwegian
steamer Regin was sent to the bot
tom off Dover. The vessel was car
rying coal from Tyne to Bordeaux
when she was destroyed by a mine or
submarine. Her crew of twenty-five
men escaped in small boat and land
ed at Dover. They said their ship
sank within ten minutes after she
was hit.
A German submarine attempted to
blow up the Folkestone. Bou'ogne
cross-channel passenger boat. One
torpedo passed 30 yards ahead f the
ship.
While neutral states continue to be
the greatest sufferers from the mine
and submarine warfare, 1t is consid-
cred possible that one or two British
steamers have suffered similar fate,
one being overdue and another being
reported blown up off Rye.
The British transport Branksome
Chine was either torpedoed or blown
up by mine twenty miles southeast
Of Beachy Head, off the coast OF Sus-
sex. Twenty of the crew were land
ed at New Haven by tug.
AS result of the activity OF Ger
man submarines, the British admiral
ty has announced that the Irish and
North channels nave been restricted
for navigation.

LoeARI1HMs VS. TOBACCO

With the highest regard for the
memory of Napier of Merchiston and
all the other Napiers, race of gen.
ious, many of us will look with a
scowling eye upon the proposed ter
centenary cemmoration of the inven-
tion of logarithms. They have done
much for mankind no doubt, and since
Napier's logaithms are no longer
used, we must forgive him and trans
fer to old Briggs, whoever he was,
or the non-Napierian inventor OF the
Napier's logarithms are no longer
undying hatred of logarithms and
their makers which our own and
many an other green unknowing
youth cherishes. Does anybody hon.
or the tercentenary or whatever it is
of the discoverer of smoking tobacco?
There was a man or god who did as
much for the happines of the race as
the logarithm man or devil for it's
confusion and befuddlement. IL
