LONG "VOYACES'
OF SEA HOBOES
Drifting Derelicts a Menace
to Shipping.

The recent sighting of the "ghost
ship" Baychimo near Point Barrow,
after she had been lost to the sight
of men for year and half, calls
to mind one of the seas most capti-
waiting mysteries, though a dread
menace to every sailor-the derelict,
writes Louis Ell. Bolander in the Bal
timore Sun.
The Baychimo is, or was, Hud-
son Bay steamship loaded with a
100000 fur cargo. In September,
1881, she was trapped in the ice off
wainwright. The following month air.
planes from Nome rescued the pas
sengers, crew and part of the cargo.
On Christmas day heavy storm
broke. The next day she disap-
peared, but a few days later was
sighted by Eskimos. On their report
a trapper visited the ship and re-
moved $4,000 worth of furs. Again
she disappeared. but was seen again
by Eskimos in April, 1892. Since
then, so far as the writer knows, no
human eye has ever sighted the
sturdy steamship, clutched in the re-
morseless Arctic ice
There is something fascinating,
something compelling in the thought
of these lonely, broken, shabby sea
hoboes drifting over the seven seas
at the mercy of wind, tide and cur
rent. Though menace to sober
shipping there still clings to them an
atmosphere of romance.
One of the most famous derelicts
known to seafaring men was the
schooner B. Il. Woodside. She was
forsaken by officers and men some
hundreds of miles east of Savannah.
At once she headed straight for Eu-
rope, but when she neared the Ca
naries, veered about twenty miles of
her starting point. She then mean
dered slowly down the coast of Flor
ida and then went zigzagging again
across the Atlantic. During her ca
reer as derelict she was sighted by
no fewer than forty captains of ships
n all parts of the Atlantic. Each
one, of course, reported her then
whereabouts to the photographic of
fee in Washington. At last she was
picked up and towed to Abaco, New
Providence.
Still another famous derelict was
the Fannie e. Woolston. For three
and one-half years she wandered
over the Atlantic, covering a distance
estimated at 10000 miles. During
her journeyings she visited the coast
of England, and then sojourned i'm
partially along the coast of France,
Spain and Portugal. She drifted
down to the equator and back to
America, where she was wrecked 8
degrees north of the spot from which
she began her career as a hobo of the
seas. This is not surprising when
we find that it is not uncommon for
a derelict to drift as much as 70
miles in "a hours.

Ultraviolet Treatment

An aid to the doctor in treating
certain ills is the ultraviolet lamp
Such lamps with quartz bulbs have
been used but are necessarily expen-
sive because of the quartz. Glass is
much less expensive and also much
less effective, since only fractional
part of the ultraviolet rays filter
through the ordinary glass bulb. The
solution lies in making the glass as
thin as soap bubble-2/10,000 of an
inch. Certainly a whole bulb made
of this glass would also have about
the durability of soap bubble. The
secret lies in making the bulb of nor
NAL thickness and setting in it win
dow made of the thin glass. This
passes a concentrated beam of ultra
violet with which the doctor may
treat various misunderstanding

AT WEEKS CLOSE
Furry in Radio Shares
Helps Spur Otherwise
Dull Session.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, December 22.-Securi-
ties markets drifted through a quiet
week end session today, while princi-
pal commodities pointed higher.
A furry of trading in the shares
of Radio Corp. of America in response
TO last nights announcement that
the directors had decided against any
recapitalization at this time enlivened
an otherwise listless session in shares.
The utilities were depressed a little
more in spots, but Consolidated Gas,
weak feature earlier in the week, held
its ground.
Moderate firmness in sterling
marked quiet session in foreign
exchange markets, and bonds were
about steady. A rally in corn was
conspicuous in grains. That staple
moved up y to IL cents bushel.
which reduced the net losses for the
week to Is to 17s cents bushel.
Wheat gained g to q of a cent, leav-
ing prices 1l2 to cents bushel un-
der the final levels of last Saturday.
Cotton at New York closed Is to As
cents bale higher, making net gains
for the week of 20 to rs cents.
The action Of the stock market left
the Standard Statistics Co.'S price
average of 80 shares barely changed.
Closing at TIT, it was off OIL of a
point. The 20 utilities taken alone,
however, dipped 0.4 to 482, new
low for the depression. Three weeks
ago this average slid under the bear
market bottom of the Summer of
1882, which was 51.8. Industrials and
rails, however, are far above those
levels. At 71.7 the average of 90
stocks showed loss for the week Of
09. Sales for the two-hour session
in the Stock Exchange were SOB ,46O
shares, compared with 464,O60 the
previous Saturday. Bonds, like
stocks, lost ground for the week. The
Standard Statistics Co. price average
Of so closed at 856, off 0.6 from a
week ago.
Radio preferred B dropped nearly
8 points to 81, which virtually can
celled the rise which took place since
first rumors were heard that directors
were considering the possibilities of a
reorganization to cancel the accumu-
lated dividends on the preferred
