The Anomaly About Farming.

One possible reason why there is such
a pronounced housing shortage in this
and other cities of New York is the
surprisingly large number of vacant
farm dwellings in the Empire state, es-
timated in a recently completed sur
vey at $4,000. This looks as if coun-
try folks are rushing to the municipal
les in headlong fashion.
Probably there are not quite so many
deserted farms as there are untenanted
houses, yet it is plain that the number

Found at last! And now commences the

fax, nearly 400 miles away. Captain
Tucker, of the Farnam, got thirteen boiler
tubes from the Sangamon and started to re-
pair his ship. Food had to be apportioned
smong the men of the Farnan, among other
things-what do you. suppose-salt All
around them salt, water, but none for the
s~avoring of the Farnam's food.
Next morning at 8 O'Clock they are off on
the long journey. The hawser was length
ened and the Sangamon started ahead ct
full speed, when all at once comes a mes
sage from the Farnam saying:
"Stop ship at once. On account of action
Of water propeller is in astern motion and
burning up gears. Oil system is not working
and propeller is in full motion. We have no
steam at all to run our oiling system"
More trouble. Friday morning, the 18th,
one leg of the bride on the Farnam was car
ried way by the stormy sea. The ships
keep right on going, however, until noon.
when the parting of the other bride leg let
the ships drift again. Again the hawser is
mended in the tempest and once more the
ships set out for home.
Next morning the storm had abated some
what and the tired merchantmen were
pleased at the prospect of smoother sailing.
Have not had my clothes off for a week, so
think I will take a bath this morning.
Wirelesses the radio operator of the Farnam.
OFF he goes to take a bath, but, SILVER our
timbers,, if the blasted storm doesn't come
hufing up again over the horizon. Again the
gale sweeps the sea, and at 1 o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, zowie! away goes the bloom
ing hawser line again.
In the storm that followed the Farnam
was completely lost from the Sangamon. The
waves wash high over the decks of the brave
Sangamon, putting her 'searchlights out Of
commission. Through the night the Hog
Island merchantmen pursued the search re-
lentlessly for it's Newark protege. How they
commended with the sea how they wandered
to and fro; the perils that besought them
and how. eventually the wonderful wireless
brought them together again is best told by
the wireless itself. Listen to it.:
