CAUSE Of SHIP FIRE
REMAINS A MYSTERY
Officers Know Of No Explosion
Aboard the Freight Steamer
Sigma.

NEW YORK, January 90. - Mystery
surrounds the fire which forced the
Norwegian freight steamer Sigma to
put back to this port today after hav-
ing sailed yesterday for Archangel
with large cargo consigned 10 the
Russian government.
The fireboat William J. Gaynor met
the freighter at quarantine, and after
quantities of steam had been turned
into the Sygnas forehold. from which
clouds of smoke were pouring when
she reached port, it was believed the
fire was virtually under control
Know of No Explosion.
Officers and members of the freight
er's crew said that so far as they knew
no explosion preceded the fire. but they
were unable to offer an explanation of
how the blaze originated in hold
which they said contained only struc-
tural steel and railway material.
The fire on the Sigma is the latest
of a long series of fires and explosions
which have occurred on vessels shortly
after they sailed from this and other
American ports with munitions or sup
niles for the allies. In numerous cases
it has been found that the fires were
caused by incendiary bombs or fuses.
but several of the cases have gone un-
explained at least so far as the public
has been concerned.
No Munitions on Board.
Norton, Lilly & Co, agents for the
Sygna, stated that the freighter did
not carry any munitions or highly in
f1ammabIe material. the cargo consist
ing chiefly of steel. railway car parts
and wire.

Peace Negotiations
Still Under Way With
Montenegro, Is Claim

BERLIN. via London. January %
The Nolks Zeitung of Cologne says that
the Italian reports regarding with
drawal on the part of King Nicholas
OF Montenegro from all negotiations for
peace with Austria are, TO say the
least, strongly exaggerated. The news
paper adds that IT is fact that OBJ
stacles hav- come UP in the negotia-

arms, but that negotiations are still

After the turn, the balance foot must
be held behind and across with the
leading arm stretched well out; towards
the end OF the curve the balance foot
passes forward, near the employed. to
complete the inside forward circle in
normal position.
In the course OF this figure the balance
foot is brought back after starting. then
crossed in front Just before the turn, be-
hind Just after the turn and in front
again towards the finish of the curve.
For the inside backward bracket, the
balance foot is kept in front at the start
and then gently passes the employed foot

hind and outside the print. Care must
be taken to hold the inside edge. because
the rotation of the unemployed shoulder
tends to bring skater onto the outside
backward edge. The turn Is made on
the heel of the skate, and the unem-
ployed shoulder is forced towards the
centre after 1t. This changing of position
allows the skater to proceed from back
ward inside to forward outside. The bal

up to the turn and crosses over in front
after the turn, just as In forward

The important things to remember are
not to make any change Of edge at the
turn and not to make the turn unless ON
a good edge.
A counter. on the other hand, is iden-
teal with the rocker as far as edges are
concerned, but the body revolution is
made in the reverse direction, ROF to

In both rockers and counters, as ref.

The turns must be placed at the point
Of intersection of the axis A-A with the

OF rockers and counters must be Of equal
size. Most skaters make the two outer
circles much smaller than the centre one.
The line A-A must divide the figures into
two equal parts, as In the eight. This
will be found quite difficult at first in
regard to the two outer circles.
The difference between the rocker and
the counter is that whereas in the
former the turn is comparatively easy
to make and the following edge difficult
to hold for full circle, In the latter the
turn is difficult to make and the follow
ing edge easy to hold.

An overwhelming majority OF the
worlds greatest men have had hair
ranging in color from dark brown to
black. Savonarola, the religious re-
former. had eoal-blaek hair, but, surpris-
ingly enough, his eyebrows and eye
lashes we're a brilliant red.
The structure of the hair. whether
straight or curly, seems to have as def
mite a connection with the possession
of genius. OF it's lack, as the color. Most
persons of genius had curly or wavy
hair. Among the exceptions were
Napoleon and Andrew Jackson, whose
hair was remarkable for its wireness
Two other notable exceptions were
James Russell Lowell. the poet, and
Grieg the musician, both OF whom had
lank, straight hair.
This English investigator was unable

had mouse-colored hair, or whose hair
turned prematurely gray.

Few Geniuses Have Red Hair?

= of a persons hairI This is the in
teresting question raised by an English
student, who has taken the pains to find
out what kind OF hair has covered the
heads of several thousand men and
women OF genius
His investigations seem TO establish
the fact that II is exceedingly rare for
a genius to have red hair. The only poet
he was able TO find whose locks we're
distinctly reddish was Swinburne. John
Bunyan was the only great reformer
who had red hair.
For ages, in fact, the world has asso-
ciated red hair and boards with men
who, for some reason or other, hold
very low place IN the worlds esteem.
In nearly every painting of Cain, the
first murderer, and OF Judas Iscariot,
Christ's betrayer. the artists have given

The important thing TO remember in

Fat through the entire figure. This is
one OF the figures where a glance AZ the

Just as keeping your eye on the ball"
IN golf facilitates the proper stroke.
IL is important to bear in mind the
following points In making brackets:
The forward bracket turn must be
Ekated on the front part and the back
ward bracket on the back part OF the
blade. The sharper the edge and the
quicker the turn the better win be the

ton OF the hips Is most important; in

fact, they may be said TO move the
shoulders and are just as important In
the execution OF the turn as the
shoulders.
Arms and shoulders should be kept
under control and the entire figure
skated rapidly with the shoulders held
hat before the turn and in the line OF
direction after It.
The official schedule of BRACKETS Is
as foliows:

The outside forward bracket (No. 1Sa)
is begun with the employed shoulder
leading. the balance foot kept behind and
the arms outstretched. The shoulders
are rotated In the opposite direction
slowly by keeping the unemployed shout
der back. so as to bring the body and
legs more or less in a spread-eagled p0-
sltion for the turn on sharp edge.
Make the turn on the toe Of the skate
by lifting the heel just enough to keep
the balance foot before the turn crossed
over behind and crossed over In front OF
the print after the turn. The balance
foot is carried rather high after the turn

skating leg in the hip Joint, while the up
per part of the body does not alter its
position.
In making the first curve of the rocker,
the body is twisted forward in the skat-
ing direction, making the skate take a
sharp edge. and 1t is necessary to pay
special attention to the p'screwtng"
around of the shoulders and body. The
turn will be facilitated by glance down
at the moment to see It executed.
The edges should be made strong and
true. The turn must be made without
using the nat Of the skate and without
making q change of edge after 1t. To
do this it IL necessary, especially on out
side rockers, to let the angle succumb to
the weight Just before the turn, and bend
little. but from strength. under perfect
control and not from weakness.
The balance foot must never swing or
Jerk either forward or backward at the
turns, but must move carefully and
steadily at the proper time. Do not make
the slightest pause In the turns, but keep
up the momentum evenly throughout.
The whole movement Of the figure must
be continuous and regular.
The counters, too, are turned in the
hip joint. Three movements OF the bal
ance foot are made, but they are made
In such rapid succession that they do
not show separately. Whereas In the

shoulder presses the body In the rotating
direction; in the counters it rotates back.

For the outside forward counter, the
shoulders are held nat with the direction
OF motion. The mistake is often made
when skating this figure on the right foot
of bringing the left shoulder forward be-
fore the turn; this ought not to be done,
because 1t is liable to produce a change
OF edge. The same rule applies to the
left outside forward counter.
