LONDON. March %. 1925 .. NJ
Upward OF 100 lives were lost in the
sinking by German submarines OF the
African liner Falaba and the British
steamer Aguila, bound from Liverpool
To Lisbon.
The Falsba which was torpedoed in
81. Georges channel Saturday after
noon, carried a crew OF 80 and about
loo passengers. aud OF this total only
100 were rescued. OF those rescued.
eight died later from exposure.
The Aguila had a crew OF ~ and
three passengers, and or these % OF
the crew and all the passengers were
lost.
In both cases. on sighting the sub
marine. the captain tried TO escape
by putting ON all speed possible. but
the under water craft overlook the
steamers. showing that Germany now
has some OF her most modern sub
marines engaged in the blockade Op-
erations against England.
The captain OF the Falaba. who was
one uf those lost, was given fve min
utes 10 get his passengers and crew
into the boats. but according 10 the
survivors. before this was possible. "a
torpedo was fired. striking the en-
cine room and causing a terrible eH-
plOsion- Many persons were killed,
and the steamer sank In ten minutes
Trawlers which happened to be in
the vicinity rescued most OF those
who were saved: others got away in
the boats which were ready for
launching and which were quickly
lowered when the order was given tO
abandon the ship.

Those who were still on the steam

thrown into the sea. and Il took TIE
fishermen an hour or more TO pick up
the persons in the water who manag

The AEuila WAS attacked OF the

4 ,HydropIane a Freak.

4 f .
h The hydroplane of the day is a
freak in every sense OF the word. The
various types OF underbody ccnstruc-
ton are designed to give, the boats
lifting power, to lessen the draft un.
der speed, and, consequently, the dis
placement-in other and palmer
words, to lessen the amount OF water
that has to be pushed aside in the
endeavor to make high speed. The
hydroplane Is the outcome Of years Of
study by, the best naval architects and
marine engineers in freak-boat con-
struction. Thousands of dollars are
spent annually on these freaks, but
many are thrown on the junk pile and
the effort repeated. All Of these boats
are overpowered, as one would con.
slider the needs Of an ordinary boat.
But extra power Is added to gain g
little extra speed. Thus one of the
Atlantic coast owners is this year du.
plicating his power by adding a Sec
ond motor to a 45-miler with the hope
OF adding an extra ten miles an hour
to the, speed. This may be termed
freakishness, yetNin the quest for the
6O-miler all sorts Of freakish things
are being undertaken. N

Artificial Bones.

A new method of mending a frac.

tween the fractured ends. The con-
tents Of the needle are then injected
as the needle is slowly withdrawn to
the surface of the bone, when the in

may be repeated several times at diff
ferent angles, thus filling the entire
space between the fractured ends WITH
the petrolatum and bone cells, which

New Record by Fisheries Bureau.

!; New Record by Fisheries Bureau.
The commissioner of fisheries, I'm
der date of June 10, advises that not
only will the output Of the fish-cul-
tural operations of the bureau Of fish
cries during the fiscal year ending
June 30 surpass previous records but
for the first time In many years there
has been a sufficient supply Of black
bass to meet all current demands for
both public and private waters. All
outstanding applications for black
bass will be filled. Some Of these have
been held over for several years for
lack OF sufficient supply Of the fish.
Among recent deliveries of this fish
have been 10000 to a large artificial
lake at Austin, Tex, formed by the
damming of the Colorado river, and at
the station whence the fish came a
large supply is now on hand. It is the
policy of the bureau to distribute each
year an increasingly large proportion
Of fish which have been retained at
the hatcheries until they reach the
lingering or yearling stages, which
means that the output, being more
matufs is better able to care for itself
and is not SO subject to the depreda-
tons of natural enemies. a.

man who employed the peasant on the
capitalists lands, forcing him to great
toll at small wages, also bought his
products at small prices. It was a
sweatshop system applied to farm
ing. The capitalist frequently .netted
100 to 120 per cent while the peas
ant barely sustained life.
I'm In good seasons the peasant could
raise enough food to keep himself
during the winter months, but in; bad
seasons his plight was pitiful. for

Other System Not Much Fairer. +
In Wallachia, the southern prov
5ince, the system was different, but
not much fairer There the peasant
paid his rent by working the land
Of the capitalist. -. S. /. s,aS.: j
Here is a typical instance: The
peasant has six hectares to care for.
OF these two hectares are for the
capitalist and he gets everything
which comes therefrom, and the cap
ita1ist's hectares are,s OF course, the
best land. On two hectares the peas
ant donates partial service. undertake
ing the moving, harvesting and haul
ing The peasant gets maximum Of
four decaliters (1,136 bushels) Of
grain from these two hectares, the
capitalist gets the rest. In addition,
the peasant pledges himself to four
days teaming, four days labor and
nine days hauling. The peasant,
therefore, has to; produce the remain
ing two hectares. II ~ .Sga, !.
The peasant is required to do the
capitalists work before doing his
own. His land being poorer than the
capitalists, it often happens that he
gets only halt the profit from his two
hectares, which the capitalist makes
from his two. And the whole system
so works out that the peasant pays in
rent from $50 to 200 lei $3.50 to $40)
