FAMOUS SHIP is PRESERVED
Vessel on Which Amundsen Sailed
Through the Northwest Passage
Lies on Shore Near Golden Gate.

The ship Gjoa, in which the vail
ant Norwegian explorer, Raold
Amundsen, made his famous trip
through the Northwest passage, dis
covering this new route, no longer
rides the waves in quest of new and
novel corners of the earth. She has
become monument to her own and
her commanders great achievement,
and now lies, Gagged in an iron fence,
as though she were beast, on the
shores of San Francisco bay, over
looking Golden Gate.
The Gjoa has been preserved just
as she was when Amundsen made his
memorable journey in her. She is a
small sloop-rigged vessel, but thor
oughly seaworthy in the hands of
hardy, trained sailors. She carries
a "crow's nest" or lookout station,
high up on her lofty mainmast. This
was used as a lookout point on the
trip through the passage.
The Gjoa, though now beached
for good, has an appropriate setting
for a ship hailing from a Scandi-
navian country. Immediately behind
the vessel stands not a Dutch, but
an American, windmill of the Dutch
type of construction. 1t is one of a
group used to pump water on the
beach near Golden Gate, and which
give the shoreIine, viewed from in
coming ships, the appearance of
''Little Holland" The famous old
ship is now at its last anchorage.

TO BUILD CONCRETE SHIPS
Norway, Sweden and Denmark Have
Embarked on Construction of This
Type of Vessel.

Norway, Sweden and Denmark
have already embarked on the con-
Struction of ferro-concrete vessels,
and very extensive tests of this
point have been conducted by the
German Concrete union, in the
United States and elsewhere. One
point that appears to be currently
accepted is the unfavorable influence
of lime in the cement, which is at
tackled by various ingredients in salt
water such as magnesium sulphate
says the Scientific American.
There are, however, varieties of
concrete such as ''puzzolane," which
contain no free lime; also, if very
dense concrete is used, it is not ma
terially penetrated, and any decom-
position is only a surface process.
The chief precautions against preju-
dlclal acton OF salt water appear TO
be: (D The use of rich concrete,
(2) the use of cement with little
free lime, gypsum and alumina, (3)
the addition of puzzolane, contain
ing silicic acid to fix the free lime,
az the use of coarse sand, (5) the
use of dense concrete, (6) special
surface treatment.

There can be no justification
for a war that exacts of one man
his service in the field and his
blood upon the altar of patrio-
tism, but which at the same time
permits other men to stay at
home and fill their pockets with
money made out of the conditions
of war that exist. Congress
owes it not only to the reople but
also to the principles OF democ-
racy to see that no foundation is
left upon which to base charge
Of this sort of discrimination

No congressman who voted to

No congressman who voted to
draft the lives of the American
boys for the army and now re-
fuses to draft all the war profits
of the big interests, is fit to sit
in Congress. He should be re-
called, tried for treason, and ex-
ecuted at sunrise. No really
patriotic American will accept
profit from the government, and
this includes the money-snark
as well.--Center Post-Dispatch.

NEW PORT IN PHILIPPINES
improvements Made by Government
Shorten Trip to Islands by From
Three to Five Days.

A new seaport recently built by
the government on the east side Of
the Island of Luzon will shorten the
voyage to the Philippines from
American ports by from three to five
days. Manila, the destination here
tOfore of all army transports and
most of the commerce of the islands,
lies on the west coast of Luzon, and
while convenient for Spanish trade
sailing eastward, it involves an un-
necessary trip around the coast for
American ships.
The new port is located at place
called Hondagus, meaning ''deep
water" which is also the terminus
Of a new railroad from Manila. The
improvements made by the United
States engineer have laid the fOunda-
tions for great modern port, says
Popular Mechanics, from which pas
sengers can reach Manila in a few
hours by the new railroad, and the
improved means of transportation
will open up to commerce 300 or 800
miles of coast hitherto practically
isolated and thousands of acres of |
rich agricultural lands, producing
hemp and coconuts in profusion.
The harbor at Hondagua is deep, ex-
tensive and almost Iandlocked by a
large island lying across its mouth.

"These Indians are a very hospitable

"One Of the purposes OF our expedi-

to link up the work OH which | have
