Ocean Safeguards.
The sinking of the Empress of
Ireland in Collision with the
Storstad in the mouth of the St.
Lawrence, was an ocean disaster
which, measured by the loss of
life, is second only to the loss of
the Titanic. Like the Titanic the
Empress of Ireland was provided
with every safeguard which in
vective genius has devised.
Both vessels, however, were de
stroyed in such manner as to
render safeguards of no avail.
This fact has been regarded by
the public as indicating that
Gcean safeguards generally are
of little or no value, a conclusion
contrary to fact.
The Empress of Ireland was
torn from midships to stern be
low the water line. This injury
permitted a quantity of water in
stantly to enter her hole' suffi
cient to sink her. The forward
ulkhead compartments of the
itanic were destroyed in

sufficient number to cause the
same result. Both injuries were
exceptions to the general rule of
damages to hulls, and argument
from exceptions to the general
rule is always faulty.
The lifeboat equipment of the
Empress of Ireland was fully in
accordance with legal require
ments, Had the vessel remain
ed upright every boat on her
decks could have been used; but
the vessel listed, that is, turned
over on her side, putting half the
life boat equipment out of com
mission and rendering the
launching of the other half a
most difficult and hazardous un
dertaking. The life saving
equipment of the Titanic would
have been more effective had not
the bow of the steamship in sink
ing carried a large part of it un
der water. These conditions
must be taken into consideration
in reaching conclusions regarding
the use of life boats and rafts.
Both disasters were extraordi
nary in many ways. The excep
tional nature ought to be given
full weight. They ought to be
contrasted, and not compared
with ordinary accidents. The
fact of the matter is, ordinary
accidents nowadays, receive little
or no attention because of the
efficiency of ocean safeguards.
Since the beginning of this year
more than two score steamships
have been saved by the safe
guards and life-saving appliances
with which they have been
equipped. Grit.

Give the Paper a Chance.
We presume there never was a
newspaper in any locality that
gave all the local happenings. It
is often that some one comes or
goes that the reporter did not
;see. it Happens that the family
is missed several times. They
get the impression that the edit
or does not care to mention them.
This is a mistake. In most coun
try towns the local work is the
hardest work connected with a
newspaper. A man may be a
good editorial writer, but a flat
failure in the local work, and
vice versa. Editorial material is
obtained by study, by reading
newspapers, sometimes by using
scissors. Personal and local
happenings can't be read and
clipped from newspapers, not by
a jug full. It takes physical ex
ertion as well as mental to get
out four or six columns of local
news in a town of this size.
Most people take a local paper to
get the local happenings. Don't
be afraid to tell the editor or re
porter that you have friends vis
iting you. There are lots of peo
ple who are interested in your
friends. You owe it as a duty to
them to let your friends know of J
their doings. Perhaps you think
the paper shows partiality, but
just see if the paper doesn't
treat you right if you give it a
chance.
To Unmarried Men.
Candidates for matrimony af
ter June 15 will be required to
give much more data relative to
themselves and their parentage
than has heretofore been requir
ed by the officers in issuing a li
cense tor marriage, uounty
Court Clerk Bryant lias received
a sample sheet of the new book
which he will be required to keep
and in which will be embraced a
complete history of the contract
ing parties, and a bit of their an
cestry. Besides the parentage
of applicants for license, the
physical condition must be stat
ed, and the occupation which
the husband follows. The age of
each of the applicants must be
stated, as well as where they
were born, and where they are
residing at the time of applica
tion. The new requiaements are
in conformity with a bill which
was passed at the recent session
of the legislature. As has always
been required, the groom will be
required to execute a bond for
$100 that he will carry out the
agreements of the license as set
out in the certificates issued.
Provision is made for the proper
certification by the officer or
minister saying the ceremony,
and the issuing by such officer
or minister of a certificate of
such marriage to the couple.
A Snake Story.
Robertson Advance says Oscar
Dennis, a tenant on the farm of
Grant Workman, while plowing
a few days ago, discovered a
young turkey, which his wife
had placed over a setting of
eggs,-in mortal combat with a
large black Bnake. The snake
had coiled itself around the tur
key and was in theact of devour
ing the head and neck when
Dennis came to the rescue.
JVith a club he beat the snake
from the big bird and to his sur
prise discovered a white door
knob imbedded in the snake's
stomach. The snake measured
seven feet from head to tip of
tail and showed much fight when
Dennis attempted to release him
from the turkey. Ex.
Get After Summer Pests.
Let us bear in mind that one
of the prime objects of a spring
cleanup is to eliminate the fly
and the mosquito. When we are
exercising our rriuscles and our
ingenuity ridding our dwellings
and neighborhoods of dust and
filth, it will be worth our while
to give these twin winged pests
sersous attention.
The first spring fly, of course,
came some time ago, though she
is still pleasantly modest and re
tiring. It is not reassuring,
however, to reflect that the lit
tle insect is keeping carefully
out of our sight and the reach of
our swatters while she lays a few
myriads of eggs, which present
ly will hatch out a whole flying
regiment of nuisances and disease-carriers.
The shy and unobtrusive mos
quito is making the best use of
her time for the same purpose.
When the open season on human
beings arrives she hopes to have
a whole army corps of her prog
eny to lead to the attack.
Now is the time to get busy if
we want to preserve ourselves
from the pests a few months
hence. The swatter and the ker
osene can are fully as important
household implements at this
season as the broom and the
scrubbing brush.
Butter by the Yard.
In Cambridge, England, but
ter is sold by the yard measure
instead of by the pound. From
time immemorial the dairymen
of Cambridgeshire have rolled
their butter into lengths, a length
being a yard and wrighing one
pound. Neatly wrapped in strips
of clean white cloth, the cylin
drical rolls of butter are packed
in long.narrow baskets made for
the purpose and so conveyed to
market.
It follows, therefore, tnat the
Cambridge butter dealers have
no need, as they preside over
their stalls, of weights or scales
for determining the quantity of
their wares. Constant practice
and an experienced eye enable
them with a stroke oft the knife
to divide the butter into halves
or quarters with almost mathe
matical precision.
This curiously shaped butter
finds its chief purchasers among
the people of Cambridge univer
sity. It is claimed that the "yard
butter" is eminently adapted for
the peculiar needs of the stu
dents fin the daily comments.
Cut into conveniently sized pieces
and accompanied by a 'loaf of
wheaten bread, a stated portion
is sent every morning to the
rooms of the under-graduates
for use at breakfast and tea.

Stone Clothing.
Entire suits are made from a
fibre of a filamentous stone a
stone that can be stripped into a
floss-like substance, like asbes
tos. The cloth is woven from
these shredded filaments of stone
and dyed various colors. It wears
like iron, and when it is dirty
the suit is tossed into the fire,
not to be destroyed, but to be
cleaned.
An Austrian has succeeded in
making cloth of spun glass that
has the sheen and the pliability
of silk. A great deal has been
written about the lost art of mak
ing glass pliable. This inventor
claims to have done this, and a
member of royalty in Austria has
worn a purple dress made en
tirely of the spun glass.
Paper "cloth" is not new. We
have long worn paper vests and
such garments, and during the
Russo-Japanese war the Jap sol
diers wore paper clothing.
An English manufacturer has
taken old ropes and cordage and
by a secret method woven it in
to a most durable and not unat
tractive cloth or fabric. A large
trade for this so-called rope-cloth
has grown up, especially in the
British colonies. Woolen cloth
ing made from stones instead of
sheep's covering is being manu
factured extensively, and the re
markable thing about this miner
wool is that it comes from lime
stone. One would think Ithat at
least a fibrous stone would be
needed, while limestone is of a
granular nature. But the lime
stone is powdered and mixed
with chemicals, the secret of the
inventor, and thrown into a great
furnace when the limestone is
blown out of the furnace into
fluffy wool.
Costly Target Practice.
An official of the War depart
ment in speaking of our big guns
says:
"It is true he said, "that by
inserting a small bore into a
block fitted into the big gun, you
can get drill practice, and even
target practice to a degree, at
small expense ;but i3 is, after all,
a makeshift. But what are you
to do? We are making larger
guns than any nation in the
world now. There is a 16-inch
gun at Sandy Hook, for instance,
which is 60 feet long and weighs
130 tons.
To fire that gun costs at the
very least $1,500 for the charge
alone, ts say nothing of the wear
on the gun. We assume that it
can be fired 300 times before the
lining is worn out; but it is doubt
ful if it would last that long. To
build that gun cost about $150,
000. "Now, that gun has a range
of about 30 miles and its project
ile weight about a ton and a
quarter, and 1,000 pounds of
smokeless powder is used to drive
it. If it ever hits a battleship
well, there has never yet been
anything that could withstand
the shock. BuJ it must hit
that's the point and to be sure
of hitting gunners must have
practice. I really think that,
enormous as the cost is, it is
truer economy to spend larger
sums on target practice'
