A WONDERFUL ICE SHIP

»■ —* An entirely new departure m Arctic exploration will be made next summer Russia will send north her wonderful ice ship, the Yermak, with Instructions i to cut her way through to the pole, i The performances of this vessel m cutting her way at three or four miles an hour through immense ice fields m the Ba'tio Sea and other Russian waterß have excited amazement among all who have witnessad them. Shn is now being equipped and improved for the greatest of all tasks. The Arm strongs at TSlswick have just completed a new bow which is especially designed to encounter fields of ice m the Arctic Sea, which are heavier and thicker thin ftriy v?hich the Yermak has attacked. Ihe original bow was easily capable of dealing with any of the enormous ice fielck which Russia pro flucep. She went to a high latitude on her trip last summer, and ftccomp'ißhed mil that could be expected of her m the asaaulti'upon' the sternal ice which she then encountered. Alterationa now being made were suggested by this experience Admiral Makaroff, who will command the expedition ai d who is superintending the changes, has the greatest confidence that hie ship will cut her way without delay straight to the pole and will return safely m the same season. Every precaution has been taken to fit ber out for a long stay m case of accident or blockade Admiral Makaroff has refused to give the details of the plans or even admit that the exp'-'dition will be undertaken, but there is no doubt on this point.

The Pork Corner.

«»——~* SIR T BOM AS LIFTON'S PROFITS. -According to a cabled message from Chicago, which appeared In the Daily Mail, Bit Thomas Lipton has closed the pork corner with a profit of £70,000. The London agent olt a well-known packing firm read the message m ques tion m the presence of a Daily Mail repressntative.J • $ow, I'll tell you what, as a matter of fact, the deal amounted to/he seid '• In the first place, Sir Tinomas Lipton. through his agents, bought up 45,000 barrels of pork at about 11 dollars a barrel. This was at once unpacked and the pork m strips was Bent down South and distributed all through the Southern States for retail purposes, j Thus the meat was at once and for ever removed from any possibility of being largely held. The profit m that iaetanee amounted to, I ohoald say, about nine dollars a barrel which, figured into British currency, gives a email margin of £81,000. • Bat that was only a very small deal m comparison with the other stroke of business which Sir Thomas accomplished. To wake the corner thorough, he gave instructions for the purchase of 126,000 barrel?, at from 10 dollars to 12 dollars a barrel, and these he sold at from 21 dollars to 25 dollars per barrel, Taking average profit of, 88»y, V) dollars a barrt-l, there re mains a littla amount of £240,000 as profit on the speculation. Therefore it must be obvious to the veriest ama teur m pork and finance thist Sir Thomas Lipton must have netted some thing like £320,000 • ffir Thomas' presence m the corner wag nfVfr suspected until his agents had full control, so quietly and care fully were the negotiations carried out ' If he had never done anything else. \ Sir Thomas Lipfon might claim the undying distinction of having run a corner and come out of it with a repu tation for magnanimity, as the email men were never squeezed, and only the big firms had to pay."

Kitchener's Railway

The unstoppable go-aheadednesa of Lord Kitchener is paid a warm tribute by a writer m the Boston National Magazine, and there can be no disput ing ifc that Lord Kitchener's double track was a record breaker m point of time and importance of alacrity, When Bloemfontein passed frcm the possession of the Orange Free State into that of the Englieh Lord Kitchener the supply and engineering head cf the English Army, found the single track road from Bloemfoatein to Johannes; burg must be double tracked. So great was the stock of munitions of war at hand at Bloemfontein, so urgent the need for them at Johannesburg, that the old style single track line could not be depended upon to convey them. They say—those who were at Bloem* fontein ot the time—that the better part of t ho nearly eighty miles of double track railroad was laid m 48 hours some j of it could not have been laid at all owing to the mountainous character of the country. But ties at hand, with a few spikes and much good British muscle m store placed the ties up hill snd down-hill s wherever they would lay laid his rails upon thora, drove his spikes, tamped a little, blasted much less, and shoved m his trains of supplies. In one place the rails were so poorly held that human agencies were employ ed to keep them m position while the cars passed safely over. However, Johannesburg got the'supplies ifc need ed, and Kitchener's "doub!e-track" will pass into history as the quickest laid— without survey or grading-in the history of war railroad building.
