MINISTER VISITS OOMSTOCK
AFTER MANY YEARS ABSENCE

DIR. William r. Jenyey, rector of
the Church of the Good Shepherd in
West Berkeley. a pioneer of the Com
stock, is in Reno. says the Reno Ga
zette DR.. Jenvey, accompanied by
some friends. went to Virginia City
last Sunday where he renewed old
scenes, conducting the service at st.
Paul's in the morning and at Silver
City in the afternoon. In speaking of
the trip. DR.. Jenvey said.
MY visit to Virginia City last Sun
day was one of mingled pleasure and
great pain. The pleasure came from
the visit to old familiar scenes. | had
not taken the TRIP to Virginia City for
35 years, but the beautiful scenery
along the unique crooked track of the
Virginia and Truckee railroad was the
same as when | used to take frequent
trips yer the road in former days.
THE old landmarks were the same.
but they all seemed to be in a state
of ruin and neglect. When We reach
ed Virginia City, I looked for the
massive dumps from the mines and
even they looked old and dilapidated.
1.-The mill which formerly ran with
a busy hum of crushing stamps were
neglected and in many cases falling to
niaanc and naanp IF thu rnf.1- a-hA.a
hundreds of men toiling and whence
millions of dollars were taken appear
ed abandoned and were falling to
ruin. Yet they all reminded me of
the old days when Virginia City was
the busiest, the most remarkable and
the most prosperous section in all our
land.
The pleasure of the trip came when
| reached Virginia City and was so
cordially received by old friends. with
whom / had spent many pleasant
hours in the boom days of the great
camp.
Sunday morning | went early to
church and, as l walked down from
the residence of Fred Patton, with
whom | was staying, | saw the only
two churches which are now open to
the public worship of Almighty God.
They were st. Paul's Episcopal and
the Roman Catholic church. Ii was
to me a most significant thing that
only two churches which ever had
steeples with the cross surrounding
them are still beaming witnesses to
the great love God has for all OF us.
After a very hearty service in the
church | met the people of the con

Ice.Breaking Vessels.

Great areas of the northern seas are
of use to commerce only a few months in
the year because of the ice packs that
bind them all winter. Russia's Baltic
ports, and Archangol. her principal other
northern harbor. are blocked by ice during
three-fourths of the year.
A ship designed to make its own path
through the northern ice pack was de-
signed some years ago by Admiral Maka-
rolf of the Russian navy. 1t was a ves-
sci of 5000 tons displacement, driven by
powerful engines. and was found effective
against the great ice masses of the Arc
tic sea. When tried on the fresh water
ice of the Baltic, however. the vessel was
retarded by the great foes and hummocks.
On the great lakes navigation is opened
in the spring and kept open in the faii by
the use Of tugboats which are built SO
that they rock from side to side. smashing
the ice all about them. The rocking OF
these boats is accomplished by great rud-
ders worked by steam steering engines.
An American inventor has worked out
a method Of producing the same rocking
motion by means of gyroscopes, and when
applied to large enough vessels he believes
it will furnish a method Of opening the
northern ports in winter. gyroscope
tends to revolve in one plane, despite dis
turbing influences, and for this reason has
been used as a stabilizer on vessels BY
arbitrarily controlling the action of the
horoscopes. however, a rhythmicai rock
ing can be produced.
