From the betrolt Free Press Tbo
recent accident to the steamer Missoula
ends to show more clearly than any
thing that occurred the vast ar a of

Vessels crew reaching land after ship
Precis and yet being unheard of for a
couple of weeks after starting on a
lojiigc The shores of Michigan Wis
consin and Minnesota on the big lake
oro traversed by railways and tele
graph lines and the towns and small
settlements on the American sldo of the
lake e en to the Islands furnish ready
nuans of communication with the
larger cltlesj but not so on that part ot
llo Canadian shore north of tho lakes
vhero a wilderness Inhabited by a few
fl hermen and Indians exists This Is
especially true of tho Canadian shore
dust above Sault Ste Mario and for a
long stretch ot country to tho north and
rast of the point where tho Canadian
Pacific railway turns In to the shore ot
the lake and traverses It on toward Port
Arthur and Fort William When tho
Mssoula broko her shaft and was ren
dered helpless she was less than
Upntyfho miles from Caribou Island
< r tho course down toward Sault Ste
Mario Sho was somewhat off the jog

the head of Lake Superior but If Bhe

toward tho Sault or care for herself at
al on tho courso sho was following sho
wculd have been picked up veiy soon
after the iccldent by some passing ves
sel But a southerly wind drifted her
out of the course of even the few ves
sels trading to Canadian ports at the
head of the lakes and she was working
over toward the wildest part of the
Canadian north shore territory when
her crow was compelled to abandon her
A glanco at tho chart will show that
Erulo point where the crow of tho Mis
soula first made land Is scarcely more
than seventyfive miles from Sault Ste
Marie where 15000000 tons of freight
passes through a canal In a single sea

life than a deserted fishermans shanty
in which they built a fire and dried
their wet clothing Tho fishing season

scarce In this territory during tho most
active periods It Is not Btrango there
fore tHJt the men from the Missoula
rcero nonrly a full week In finding means

tho vessel after they had landed on the
dieary north shore of Lake Superior
Turned the Tables
The tables were turned in a surpris
ing manner on an exultant crook by a
smart Yankee deputy sheriff In York
county Maine last week The deputy
was after the crook and came up with
him just across the border In New
Hampshire The crook was safe from
the deputys warrant there but in or
der to be safer he boarded a train for
the Interior of the state That was his
mistake The deputy boarded the same
train and took a seat near the crook
At a point a few miles ahead the rail
way track ran across a corner of York
county Maine The deputy knew this
but the crook didnt When the lino
was crossed tho deputy pulled the bell
rope stopped the train dragged the
crook out of his seat put him oft the
train and arrested him
The New Metal Gluelnum
The metal gluelnum says an electri
cal contemporary Is emerging from Its
position as a chemical rarity and is
coming to the front much as aluminium
did some years ago It Is even lighter
than aluminium which Is remarkable
but Its chief value consists in tho fact
hat its electrical conductivity Is as
high as that ot sliver and consequently
higher than that of copper It Is less
extensible than Iron and more durable
A t present its value is 71s 4d per pound
fwhlch is prohibitive for large quan
tities but this Is only onetenth of the
price of platinum weight for weight

Named by Unyard Taylor
Mount Clair In Montgomery county
Pennsylvania was named by Bayard
Taylor during the course of a spring
day ramble In 1847 Taylors associa
tion with the place should be sufficient
to incite a desire to spell the name as
he spelled It The railroad company
spells it Mount Claire which spelling
originally must have been a blind guess
by somebody who perhaps thought that
It wasnt correct lt was near enough

> er Orleans Mint
Washington Jan 18 For tho
past ninety days tho mint at Now Or
leans has been virtually closed by tho
retlrment of its employe Tho
Louisiana congressmenhavo been dili
gent loget them roiuslatedaiid now
thoy have secuiel from tho seoiotarv
i tho promlso that thlsjwlli bo done as tho
tho mint at that place will bo put iu
full operation for fho coinage of silver
dollars within tho next sixty days
Tho secretary says that tho silver
dollars which ho found in tho treas
ury vault when ho camo in > oillco
had been reduced to about bl 8000
000 and lhat more have to bo coined
in order to take up tho Sherman notes
which may bo presented for redemp
tion in sliver It is estimated that
when Mr Carlisle chine into otllco
there was about 250i0 of thoso dol
lars in tho vaults Tho reduction has
boon
made by tho redemption of tho
Sherman
notes in this coin When
the notes mentioned aro redeemed in
silver thoy aro at ouco destroyed but
when they aro redeemed in gbld thoy
aro reissued
again so from these facts
it would seem that at least 9000000
of the original Sherman notes have
been redeemed and destroyed

Seunte Forecast
Washington Jan 20 The pre
sont indications aro that tho timo of
tho senate will be divided this week
between tho discussion of tho Monroe
doctrluo and finance tho iormer be
lug based on tho Davis resolution
Several senators including Teller
Daniel Cockiell and White will speak
on tho silver bill during tho week aud
tho probabilitos aro that fho con
sideration of the silver bill will
not bo concluded when tho end of tho
week is reached INo veto will be
socured until the Utah senators take
their seats but it willcoiiio soon atlei
that time The silver sbbstltuto is tho
unfinished business which inct gives
it precodenco over all business alter
2 oclock thus rendering it impossi
ble to take up the Monroe doctrine
during the morning hours unices by
general consent

01 the Breast
Mr A H Crausby of 158 Kerr St
Memphis Term says that his wife
paid no attention to a small lump which
appeared in her breast but it soon de
veloped into a cancer of the worst type
and notwithstanding the treatment of
the beet physicians it continued to
spread and grow rapidly eating two
boles in her breast The doctors
soon pronounced
her incurable A
celebrated New York
specialist then treat
ed her but she con
tinued to grow worse
and when informed
that both her aunt
and grandmother had
iVdied from cancer he
s gave the case up as
hopeless
Someone then re
commended SSS
and though little hope remained she
begun it and an improvement was no
ticed The cancer commenced to heal and
when she had taken several bottles it
disappeared entirely and although sev
eral years have elapsed not a sign of
the disease has ever returned
