INTO Death TRAP
Engineer Faced Unknown Dan.
gers on Great German Liner.
Explored, Single-Hande Black Re.
cesses Of lnterned Ship Which Was
Seized by United States.

Think Of a great deserted ship, 545
feet lcpg, 70 feet wide and over so
feet deep, as black and forbidding as a
Siberian copper mine, with not ray
Of light from the uppermost deckhouse
to the caverns Of the lowest holds, in
the damp and Shiny bilges, or in the
rooms filled with engines. pumps, dyna-
mos, pipes and valves without number.
Think of exploring it, single-handed,
with the warning fresh in your ears
that 1t is full Of pitfalls, bombs and
death-traps; that every door you touch
will set off an explosive which will
blow you into eternity; that every
ladder you step on will send you
sprnwling down bottomless chasm,
and that, If you value your life, you
must not touch a thing-woOd, metal
or clOth-without first investigating It..
How would you like to explore such
a ship with only nashlight to guide
you through the abysmal blackness,
and with no means Of communicating
with friends on the top deck once you
start on your perilous journey? This
was the task assigned to q certain en-
glneer in New York shortly after the
government seized the interned Ger
man ships in this country, says the
Popular Science Monthly. 1t was n
task fraught with the greatest danger
requiring an extraordinary degree Of
caution and patience, and calling for a
rare display of courage. But so fear
less was this young engineer and 80
successful was he in his undertaking
that SO hours after the ship in ques-
ton reached the navy yard, the main
boilers were generating steam.
Among the many interesting things
revealed by the intrepid investigator
were the location of missing parts Of
the main engines, carefully hidden
away in the coal bunkers; the dscov-
cry Of bolts and nuts which led to a
minute examination of the cylinders
and Steam-cheSts, where it was dis
closed that parts had been removed and
other parts carefully substituted to
conceal the omission; the location, in
other places, Of studs and bolts partly
sawed through, with the saw slot filed
up; the finding Of steel fitted into
steamports, so that any attempt to turn
over the engine would have ruined 1t;
the discovery Of distractions in pipes,
smokcstacks and ventilators-lumps
Of coal and bars Of iron placed ON
top Of the closed dampcr-valve in a
ventilator, requiring only q pull on the
dnmper-chain to prccipitate the entire
load down on the head Of the person
foolish enough to pull it, and other
traps too numerous to mention here.

Dear Old Husband.

The superstition about the word
Husband" Is not yet slain. Recently
n philologist went into church and
heard q young curate discourse on
marriage. "Think," he said solemnly
"of the beautiful idea underlying the
word Observation-Disclosures, the band
or bond Of the house" The phll0lo-
gist had difficulty in restraining himself
from laughing aloud. The "band" of
the word husband" Is merely cor

SHIPS NEED OF AUSTRALIA
Grain of Little Value Without Trans
portation, as Little of 1t Is Used
at Home.

"Australia's food production this
year will average normal it is neither
unusually heavy nor light, but there
is going to be considerable difficulty
in handling the crops, because there
are no facilities for transportation"
said II. w. Stephens, q merchant Of
Melbourne, who was visiting the Unit
ed States. "The greatest need Of Aus
tralia today is transportation. Until
ship tonnage is provided it is almost
useless for the farmers to complete
their harvesting. as it requires only Il
small percentage of the crops to sup
ply the domestic needs. Heretofore
great quantities of grain have been
shipped to England and ic is still going
overseas, but in not sufficient quantity,
for England needs wheat now us never
before. But without ships 1t is impos-
siblc for us to send our wheat
abroad.
'"The wheat crop Of Australia was
damaged to some extent by mice, and
until the farmers learned how to COM
bat this pest it Threatened to become
q serious menace. The farmers used
poison, water, gas and other means,
and finally got rid Of them"

Poet Gray's Birthplace.

If tablet Is placed on Gray's
"birthplace,' in Cornhill, it should
bear record also that there Is no ac-
tual surviving birthplace of the poet,
says the London Chronicle. The fire
which, on March 25. 1749. destroyed
the house that Grey had inherited
from his father was rcckoned the big
gest London conflagratlon since 1866,
seeing that in 1t 200 houses were
burned down. In very practical way
one finds the poet summing up his loss
In letter to Wharton: "The house T
lost was insured for $500, and with
the deduc on Of 3 per cent they paid
me E485. The rebuilding will cost $500
and the other expenses will mount that
sum to $780,"

Pray at Old Shrine.

Fifteen years ago the supreme court
Of the United States evicted 300 In
dianS from their old home on Warmers
ranch, in California. Some time later
the Scquoia league induced President
Roosevelt to name commission to
find now tract for the Indians. This
resulted in the government buying the
Pala valley, where the Indians found
homes much better than those they
were evictcd from. But Warmers
ranch was the old domicile, where Fn-
ther Ubnch OF San Diego held services
once year, at which time all mar
riages, baptisms and funerals were
held. The present priest is Father
George G. Doyle, and he has rchablll-
tatcd the chapel "for mcmory's sake"
On q recent Sunday the old chapel was
rededicated, and the Indians from the
Pala valley were happy in praying at
the old shrine.
