Great “fear of Railroad Iron.
Taking the total length of the rail-
ways of the wmld at even 60,000 miles
and allowing a daily average of 10 trains
over each road, it is estimated that the
total loss of eru by wear and tear each
day of the year is not less than 600 tons.
The iron thus lost goes back to the earth
in the shape of fine powder. which is
finally transformed into soluble iron
salts. ——St. Louis Republic.

THB BALTIMORE’S TRIP.
The Big Cruiser Had 9. Rough 'Time of It
In a Japanese Typhoon.
WASHINGTON, J an 18. —The Honolulu
mail, which has just arrived at the navy
department, brought a. report from Captain
Day of the cruiser Baltimore, giving a
vivid description of the experience of that
vessel in a. typhoon cfi the Japanese coast,
which was encountered the day after the
ship left Yokohama, Dec. 3, for home.
Four days and a. half the ship was held
head to the seas, which the captain says
were very heavy, with a remarkably steep
advancing face, owing to the wind blow-
ing across the Japanese current. All the
hatches were battened down, and the ba-
rometer fell steadily until it stood at 28. 50.
The sea was so wicked that the captain,
concluding the ship was in the northeast
quadrant of the typhoon, did not dare to
attempt to keep away and run out of the
storm until the fourth day, and the en-
gines were turned just fast enough to keep
steerage way on the ship. Head to the see,
some heavy Waves were shipped, but after
she was running free little water came
aboard. Captain Day urges that all of our
ships, be supplied with sea. anchors and
says that if the Baltimore had been fitted
with one she would have done much bet-
ter head to, with the engines stopped.
Two lives were lost in the typhoon, Car-
penter Isaac Cooper of Philadelphia. being
killed by being thrown to the deck, and
Gustav J essen, acting boatswain’s mate,
being lost overboard under conditions
which made it impossible to save him. A
number of the boats were much damaged,
the deck fittings were carried and railings
bent, but no serious damage was done to
the ship.
Concluding his report, Captain Day
says: “This ship has been looked upon
with suspicion as regards her seagoing
qualities, and, for my part, I have never
been desirous of testing her. But by her
performance in the gale my confidence in
-her has been fully established and I con-
sider her an excellent sea boat. No ship
could have done better. It was the worst
-Weather I have ever experienced at sea, yet
the ship went through it without serious
damage or danger, and was quite fitto en-
counter another at once.”
