Special to The Globe. SIPERIOR, Wis., Aug. 10.—The first whaleback ever built is being built over. It was the first boat constructed at the Superior yards, and she is now lying in the yards at Philadelphia, where she is being converted into a tank steamer for the coal, tar and oil trade on the Atlantic. The barge is to have new bulkheads, and, with the others, now it will have ten airtight and water com partments for the carrying of oil and coal tar. A large pump and engines and boilers are being placed in the old barge. The first whaleback was built at the local yards by Capt. Alexander McDou gall. On the records she is known as "101." But to vessel men, when she was first built, she was known as "McDou pall's Dream." Capt. McDougall proved that his idea was a practical one, and a large number of these boats were built on the great Jakes, where they proved profitable and gave satisfaction. As oil i-arriers on the ocean they are said to be very serviceable. One of the boats, the City of Everett, has traveled around the globe. GONZALES INTERCEPTED.

The Rest Cure. After work comes rest. When they alternate perfectly a man may prepare to enjoy real happiness. When they alternate perfectly a man will enjoy both the work and the rest that fol lows it. Nature is a just old lady. She sel dom gives a man more than he needs. If he elects to live a lazy life she lets his muscles get flabby and his brain go sleepy. She never permits him to long possess a faculty or a nerve or a muscle or a sinew that he does not use, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. The proper way to keep your mus cles or your brains is to use 'em up and let nature provide you with a fresh supply. Nature is assisted in this work by rest. One may rest sometimes by seeking a change in labor. Labor thus becomes a recreation —re-creation. To live happily in this world it is not enough to know how to work; a man must also know how to rest. The man who knows only how to work will soon wear out. If he doesn't wear out im mediately his work will suffty in some way. No man can do his best work unless he alternates it with a little play or a little rest. A man who can't drop his work from his mind as readily as he can drop his tools from his hands had better take a few weeks off to study the rest question. His nerves are not what they should be. If. a man wishes to keep his nerve let him avoid nerves. Same Old Weather Talk. "What did you and Algernon find to talk about?" asked the chaperon. "The weather," was the demure reply. "I said it looked as if it were going: to rain, and he said he had an umbrella and he would like that he might shield me from all the storms of life and that Flor ida would be a lovely place for a wedding trip. We didn't talk about anything but the weather for half an hour."—Philadel phia Press- THE ST. PAUL GLOBS, TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1903.

MARTINELLI WILL SUCCEED RAMPOLLA That Is to Say, Rumor Makes Him Papal Secretary of State. LONDON, Aug. 11. —The Chronicle's Rome correspondent says this morning that an authority, which is well in formed, says that Cardinal Sebastiano Martinelli wHI be appointed papal sec retary of state. Cardinal Martinelli succeeded Cardi nal Satolli as the pope's representative in the United States in 1897, and re mained there until :May, 1902. He was given the red hat by Leo XIII. in April, 1901. ROME, Aug. 10.—Pius X. had an other fatiguing day, as he received all the delegations which had come to Rome to attend the coronation cere monies. He accorded an audience to about 300 from Venice, receiving them in the Clementine hall. The pontiff allowed all the members of the delegation to kiss his hand and called by name those whom he knew. He said to them: "I am a poor mortal, took weak for the heavy cross which God has given me. But His will be done. I will carry It as best I can and you must all pray to our Lord to give me the necessary strength." His old Venetian friends agree that the pope looks ten years older than he did before his election, but that his af fable manner had not fhanged. ALL FIND CONVERTS. Curious Cures Are Ba^ng Practiced in the Country. Here are a number of odd systems of curing disease which are now practiced in the United States. The grape cure consists in reverting to a diet exclusively of grapes for several days at a time. It is much practiced in Europe. Patients go to the vineyards of the South and spend ten days there eat ing the grapes all day long. Marion Harland. the authoress, is one of the prominent advocates of this treat ment, having taken it in Switzerland. The fruit cure, largely used in this country, is merely a modification of thg grape cure. Allied to the grape and fruit cures are the two-meals-a-day, one-meal-a-day and the fasting cures.- A somewhat similar cure is the milk treatment, advocated and practiced ex tensively in New York city. Its disciples prescribe an exclusive diet of milk —as much in certain cases as two or three gallons a day. The bath-tub cure, largely practiced in Germany, but also in occasional use here, is a modification of one of Kneipp's sys tems. The patient's body is immersed in water at blood heat, and he remains there for days at a time, even sleeping in the water. The cure is of especial efficacy In the treatment of burns, scalds and other external wounds. Of baths there is an almost infinite variety used therapeutically. The Turkish, Persian and Russian baths are familar. The needle bath is another. Osteopathy, while more or less related to massage, is a still more intricate de velopment of the manipulation method As indicated by the name, its particular application is to the bony structure. Os teopathists claim Dr. Lorenz, the famous German hip specialist, as one of them selves. His treatment of congenital dislo cation, for instance, is by manipulation, without the use of the knife. Osteopathy especially treats diseases of the joints, but is also generally applicable. The recently developed Light treatment is assuming important proportions. It has many forms and is especially used in cases where disease is known to have a bacterial origin. An important class of cures includes hypnotism, suggestive therapeutics and magnetic healing. Related to these meth ods aiso is Christian Science. The National Health league is a $1,000. --000 corporation formed for the promulga tion of the nature cure. This includes many methods of treatment, but its cen tral idea is the study of healthy condi tions and the attainment of them by normal methods. Complete rest is the cure-all devised by a prominent Philadelphia physician. He advocates an occasional week spent in. bed under conditions favorable to the least possible exhaustion of vitality. The olive oil cure is widely practiced. Pure oil is used externally with rubbing and internally as nourishment. Deep breathing is claimed by many to be a specific in all manner of disease. The theory is that perfect aeration of the lungs means healthy blood and conse quent health of all the tissues. Physical culture is a very important branch of therapeutics. Its advocates claim that with regular exercise intelli gently directed, and, as an essential ac cessory, right eating- and drinking, the body may be kept in normal condition. The treatment of certain diseases by baking the body in a special oven has recently been practiced with success. The lean-meat cure is another system of dietetics.

MINNEAPOLIS NEWS STRIKERS WORHTHE tmymia Police Decline to Interfere to Enforce #ie'Cray Injunction. Effective picket wprk. was done by the strikers yesterday, When they succeeded in inducing the workmen on the new pow er house not to return to work. The pickets were out early and met the non-union laborers as they were going to the power-house. The result was that none reported for work and the brick layers and masons were compelled to go home as a result. Contractor John Wunder tried to secure an enforcement of the Cray order in the recent injunction suit, which holds that strikers shall not interfere with other workmen. This the police declined to carry out. Many men were also induced to quit work on the street railway building at Hennepin avenue and Eleventh street. Otherwise there were no changes in the strike situation. The remodeling of the A. D. T. building was resumed, but no work is being done on the Deering build- Ing. At the meeting of the strikers yesterday it was reported that the following con tractors have signed the scale asked for: S. M. Klarquist, A. J,, Copier, Ben Aren son, C. J.

These agents were e^pecped to buy the exclusive right to sell the company's goods in certain territory, and it is claimed that Devlin sola; the same terri tory to more than one man. At Eden Valley it is that no less than five men have been located who bought that territory from Devlin, each one paying him $40 for the priv ilege. AWARDS TROLLEY FRANCHISE. County Board Grants Right to Operate Electric Line to Anoka. The electric trolley line franchise was awarded yesterday by the county com missioners to Dr. Charles O. Straub and his associates. This franchise will cover two lines, one from Robbinsdale by way of Osseo and Champlaift to Anoka, and the other from Lyndale avenue by way of RIO JANEIRO IS TO HAVE EXTENSIVE DOCKS Extensive Improvements Astonish Those Who Know Brazilians. A writer in "The Boston' Transcript" discussing the harbor-of Rio Janeiro and the plan to spend $42,000,000 in providing dock facilities says: "He thought he saw an elephant Upon the mantelpiece; He looked again and saw it was His wife's first husband's niece." Thus Lewis Carroll. And In similar vein might my own inner consciousness have burst into nonsensical rhythm when I read, only a day or two ago, the report that the Brazilian government was on the edge of spending $42,000,000 in improv ing the harbor of Rio Janeiro. This at first glance seemed as outlandish as the playful elephant on Mr. Carroll's mantel piece. I looked again, and'lo! the story seemed true —could, indeed, be nothing but true —for it is an official report from United States Minister Thompson to the state department at Washington. A wife's first husband's niece was never a solider fact. The Rothschilds have placed the $42,000,000 loan, the bonds s'are to be sold at 90 per cent and bear <5 per cent in terest, being secured by "tlock charges of 3 per cent on merchandise., Mr. Thompson tried his best to see that the contract for building the docks —they are to be stone d%?ks, and two and a half miles long— got into American handfe, but he failed en tirely. A British firm secured the con tract, i Now it happens that- for a whole year —the oddest year of my lile —my win^Pow looked out upon the harbor of Rio; also that I have seen, under 'rather curious circumstances, the harbors of Bahia, Per nambuco and Para. So I find myself in a position to grasp the Significance of the unexpected engineerine enterprise upon which the Brazilians itrsjabout to em bark. You will sometimes "ftestt the harbor of Rio Janeiro called the nrrat beautiful in the world, and perhaps it is. Richly wood ed mountains cluster about it. the green est mountains that ever you saw; at the entrance to the bay the red, bald cone of the Sugar Loaf rises superby out of the water to a lordly height; in the far dis tance you behold the tattered outlines of the faint blue Organ Mountains. The har bor itself is thronged with ships, ships at whose main trucks float the flags of all the maritime nations under heaven. But docks there are none. Your steamer anchors well out from the shore, and you have plenty of time , to marvel at the many tinted city, set in its wealth of tropical verdure as your oarsmen pull you landward. At Bahia it is the same story, so far as landing is concerned, and the slight lad ing of new freight takes so long that you get a whole day ashore^ .This means that all your fellow voyagers have visited the market place ere their "shore liberty" ha 9 run out. and that they come back to the ship proud possessors of numberless live parrots and monkeys. How endurable ship life is after that you may well Imagine. But at Pernambuco. the —discreet go ashore only when weather permits, and m our case weather didfft. The waves ran something like twenty feet high. Our seamen rigged the usual pair of stairs down the steamer's side) and the rowboats that came out. to us bobbed up and down most insanely, alongside the stairway. The few wretches who had'to land climb ed part way down the st£lrs and waited. When the boat came up 6n the crest of a wave they jumped into ii. A moment's hesitation meant a drenching, perhaps worse. At night the process was reversed and it was then that we beheld the re markable embarkation of. -the Armless Wonder. That luckless cejebrity, a dime museum performer whos^e feet had learned to do most of the things that arms and legs are meant for, was now in a sorry fix. Our sailors, therefore, rigged a block at the yardarm, slipped "a rope through it, lowered the rope into the: boat, and the Armless Wonder, with -the noose drawn tight around his waist, was hauled up— just as if he had been a sack of coffee — and neatly swung over the rail. When we passed the lightship at the mouth of the Para river, seven pilots came aboard. Within a few hours that con gress of steersmanship had us hard aground on a sandbar right in the harbor of Para, and there we lay stranded a day and a half, while all our cargo was being got out of the hold and loaded on lighters. Then a big paddle-wheel steam er came and dragged us off the bar, so that after another day and a half con sumed In putting back the cargo, we were ready for sea again. And now, do you wonder that a very pronounced thrill of amazement ran through me I read of the new docks for Rio? Why, bless you. there's no docks at all in Brazil, and there never have been. Besides, so sluggish is the Brazilian Richfield and the Fort Snelling road to Shakopee. .According to the terms of the commis sioners, a bond of $5,000 is to be put up by Dr. Straub within thirty days, the time limit for the acceptance of the pro visions. The road is to be completed within two years, and work is to be begun before May I, 1904. J n case the accept ance is not made within thirty days, the proposition will remain undecided until further action is taken. The financial backers of the new lines are said to be Titus Merrick and Fred W. Noerenberg. of this city, and others from Milwaukee. BOUND TO PURIFY MAIN STREET. East Minneapolis Citizens Hold a Mass Meeting, and so Resolve. The citizens of East Minneapolis are determined that the disreputable resorts located on Main street shall be removed in order to avail themselves of the offer of M. W. Savage to have the land be tween the river and the exposition build ing transferred into a public park. A mass meeting of East side people was held last evening at Second street and Eighth avenue northeast, and the proposition was discussed by a number of representative citizens. There seemed to be no division of opinion, all being emphatically in favor of clearing Main street of the objectionable sights which have infested the section for many years. There was some fear expressed by Northeast citizens that an attempt might be made to clear only the Southeast por tion of Main street, leaving the one on the Northeast side to operate in its pres ent condition. This place is said to be more objectionable than any other for the reason that more men, women and chil dren are compelled to go by there as a matter of convenience than by the houses situated on the Southeast side. Notice was served by several, persons that if there were not a united effort on the part of all East siders to remove all disreputable resorts rrom Main street they would not support a. movement to run out those on the Southeast side. LETTER LOST TWENTY YEARS. Epistle Mailed Long Ago Is at Last De- iivered In Minneapolis. Assistant Postmaster Hughes yester day received a letter from Zumbro, Minn., that had been mailed in that postoffice to Mabel Niles, Rochester. Minn., twenty years ago. Mabel Niles is now Mrs. George Alton, residing at 1601 University avenue. The letter was found during some changing of boxes in the postofflce. It had slipped down behind the old cases and remained there until found Satur day. . Thieves Rob Campers. Several university boys, who are spend ing the summer at Camp Content, on the west end of Big Island, Minnetonka. were the victims of a clever burglary the lat ter part of last week. The thieves went to the camp in broad daylight, while the campers wero away fishing, and took everything of value that they could lay their hands on, including a revolver, a gold watch and chain, a fountain pen, and quite a sum of money. Fire Destroys Big Ice House. The Crystal Lake Ice company's plant at Twin Lake was destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. The fire is thought to have been set by a party of tramps who were seen hanging about the place a short time before the fire was discovered. The loss amounted to about $5,000, partially covered by insurance. temperament and so bound to tradition, that the sudden innovation seems al most shocking. The Brazilians still Im port all their potatoes from Portugal, just as in days past though the Irish variety has been successfully grown in the em pire. The Brazilians are forever "waiting for something to turn up." They are, literally, a nation of slippers—their mot to, is "Pacienzia." Docks? Though Brazil needs docks more than any other nation in the world, it is, or so but yesterday it seemed, the least likely to get them. Har bor improvements of any sort whatever? Look at Para. Brazil has never been ashamed of Para, and if seven pilots stuck you on a sandbar the Brazilians congratu lated you in getting off in three days. Brazilians have a way of patting them selves on the chest and saying. "Brios, brios," which means, "Pride, mine honor, noblesse oblige." This, you would say, ill befits a nation in slippers. But at last —wonder of wonders —this grandiose spirit has come over from the world of brag to the world of commerce. At last "Pa cienza" gives room to a plea for activity, modernity, progress. And the false pride of the old order becomes the ambitious and very genuine pride of the new. Not only will Rio have docks and an improved harbor, but docks of solid masonry two miles and a half long, and an improved harbor costing $42,000,000! THE VOLUNTEER ORGANIST. These clever dialect verses traveled far when first printed some years ago, and frequently found their way into the "anonymous" class. —Chicago Chronicle. The great big church wuz crowded full of broadcloth an' uv silk. An' satins rich as cream thet grows on our ol' brindle's milk; Shined shoes, biled shirts, stiff dickeys, and stove-pipe hats were there, An' doods 'ith trouserloons so tight they couldn't kneel in prayer. The elder in his pulpit high, said, as he slowly riz: "Our organist is kep' to hum, laid up 'Ith roomatiz. An' as we hey no substitoot, as Brother Moore ain't here, Will some 'un in the congregation be so kind's to volunteer?" An' then a red-nosed, drunken tramp, of low-toned, rowdy style, Give an interduct'ry hiccup an' then stag gered up the aisle; Then thro' the holy atmosphere there crep' a sense er sin. An' thro' thet air er sanctity the odor uv ol' gin. Then Deacon Purin'ton he yelled, his teeth all sot on edge: "This man purfanes the house of God! Why, this is sakerledge!" The tramp didn't hear a word he said, but slouched 'Ith stumblin' feet. An' sprawled an' staggered up the steps, an' gained the organ seat.

The organ roared, the music flood went sweeping high an' dry, It swrfled into the rafters, an' bluged out into the sky; The ol' church shook an' staggered, an' seemed to reel an' sway, An' the elder shouted "Glory!" an' I yelled out "Hooray!" An' then he tried a tender strain that melted in our ears, Thet brought up blessed memories an' drenched 'em down 'ith tears; An' we dreamed uv ol'-time kitchens, 'ith Tabby on the mat.

How Some Animals and Birds Manage to Emigrate. The Donald Currie liner Tintagei Castle lett Cape Town on May 9, 1901. The ship had covered over 1,000 miles, when sud denly from beneath the forward ventila tor rose a dense swarm of bees. They settled on the ventilator and covered it. The sailors constructed a rough hive, and there the insects remained happily enough for seven days. On May 25 the ship drew near the Cape Verde islands, passing the mat a distance of about nine miles. Early that morning the bees left the ship, presumably for the islands, though how they knew the land was near is a mystery. This Is probably the only instance on record of insects voluntarily taking passage by a steamship to new lands. But other and less desirable stowaways are common enough. Mr. Bartlett, of the London zoological gardens, had a call one day from a sailor, who wanted to know if he was open to buy a "sarpint." Mr. Bartlett said "Yes." "There's a beauty for you," said the man. opening a rice bag he carried In his hand. An Indian cobra, with hood ex pended and deadly fangs ready to strike, lay in the bottom of the frail bag. In this case the creature had probably been brought aboard in timber or in a package of fruit. Vipers, deadly spiders and other undesirable immigrants are constantly found in the holds of ships whiqh have arrived from tropical ports. A Liverpool fruiterer recently had a most narrow es cape from being bitten by a viper which arrived in a case of Spanish melons. The crew of the steamer Navinshlne once had a most remarkably lively time with a hyena which had been taken aboard at Las Palmas. consigned to the London office of. the West Africa com pany. The creature had only been on board a very brief time when it smashed its way out of its box and took refuge among a quantity of cargo under the forecastle deck. There it remained during the whole of the rest of the voyage, no one being able to go near the savage beast. It was not until the vessel had berthed in the Victoria dock, and expert assistance obtained, that it could be caught. Then the place was gradually cleared of cargo and the hyena, skulking In a dark corner behind a large barrel, was lassoed. A creature which is a regular bug bear to the agricultural authorities of Africa, North America and many other parts of the world is the so-called fly ing fox. a sort of large fruit-eating bat, which exists in countless numbers In its native country, Australia, and there works endless damage to the crops of peaches, oranges and other fruits.

In a cargo of fruit trees recently brought I from Australia to 'Vancouver no fewer than five flying foxes were discovered Rats, of cours, are plentiful on prac- • tically every ship that floats. They ship themselves most methodically from every port. To give Just one Instance ' of the way in which rats travel: A large China rat was caught on board a steamer in the West Indian docks on Feb. 10 last. I He was labeled and set free. On Feb. I L'B that identical rodent was caught In Wellington street, off the Strand. Singa- . pore is the chief port for rats to corns aboard. They may be seen at night climbing along the hawsers in endlesa processions. The big cargoes of timber which are ■ sent over In the rough from Australia and America frequently are found to con tain strange stowaways. A plump oppos sum, weighing seven pounds, was rec-i>nt- ; ly discovered in a cargo of Australian hardwood, and a pair of dainty little' flying squirrels, alive and well, were found in a mahogany trunk brought into Liver pool as part of the cargo of the Daphne.
