Yds total tonnage officially numbered
l,v the Bureau of Navigation during the
„ ica l year ended June 30, amounted to 417,-
( ,jj g ioss tons, says an exchange. Full re
tlrns from Honolulu will not be receiv
fd for a fortnight, but about 38,000 tons
of Hawaiian vessels were entitled to
tmerican documents under the act of
Cor,cress creating the territory to Hawaii.
Porto Rican vessels were also entitled to
Amt rican documents, but they aggregate
less than 1,000 tons.
Complete figures will probably show
that the actual additions to the American
merchant fleec during the year surpassed
the 437.816 gross tons documented during
the fiscal vear 1874, when the law required
b 1 canal boats in domestic trade to be
documented. In that event the additions
to our merchant fleet during the past fis
cal year wiil have been greater than dur
ing any year since 1856.
The vessels built in the United States
anl officially numbered during the year
aggregated 381.863 gross tons. Of the new
vessels built during the year 4?3, of 213,053
gross tone, were steam vessels, 573, of 92.-
gross tons, were sail vessels. Includ
ing barges with sail power, and 76,186 tons
were barges and a few canal boats for
, jnadlan trade without power of self
propulsion. The large proportion of steam
vessels. 56 per cent, of the total, makes
the year's addition to the fleet in value
and in carrying power superior to the ad
ditions in 1874 or of any other dear in our
history.
Capt. Nicholaisen. formerly master of
the converted balk Marie Siedenbutg, has
taken charge of the Norwegian bark
.lames G. Pendleton, and will command
her on her return voyage with cargo of
naval stores. The Pendelton is now at tlie
Gordon wharf discharging ballast, which
it will probably take a day or two to fin
ish. Capt. Nicholaisen has the confidence
of his employers because of his experi
ence and ability as a seaman.
In the annual review of the marine on
the great lakes the "Blue Book of Amer
ican Shippingf” just published, says: “The
approximate value of vessels built in ship
yards of ihe great lakes during the past
year is {10.500.000. Nearly all of these ves
sels are steel freight steamers of 450 to 500
feet in length and of 7,000 to S.COO net tons
rapacity, equipped with quadruple expan
sion engines of 1,800 to 3.000 horse power,
and in most cases with water-tube boilers.
The year has, of course, been one of the
most prosperous in the history of lake
shipbuilding, on account of the boom in
iron and steel lines. There are still a large
number of ships under construction in the
lake yards, some of them not to come out
until the spring of 1901. If the number of
new ships ordered for lake trade should
b limited the difference will probably be
made up In steel freight steamers of
about 3.000 tons capacity, to be built for
both lake and Atlantic service—vessels
suited to passage through the Canadian
canals from the lakes to the seaboard. The
canal type of steamer is about 255 feet
over all, 42 feet beam, and 26 feet molded
depth. About a dozen such vessels are
now in commission on the lakes and they
might be sent on to the seaboard for
coast service at any time. The few that
have gone to the Atlantic have proved so
succecssful in the trade to Porto Rico anl
down the United States coast that it is
proposed to equip four Others, now under
construction at the works of the Ameri
can Shipbuilding Company, for all kinds
of service on salt water as well as on the
lakes."

FLIGHT OF THE BOBOLINKS.
They Conte South, to lie Known
There hn Heed Birds and Then its
Rice Bird*.
From the Washington Post.
The man who has occasion to be abroad
at a late hour in these lovely summer
nights will frequently hear far up in the
blue above him- strange, low, and beauti
ful murmur as of bird notes. They are
rot loud, and seem to come from a great
bight. They a-e singularly sweet, and
come from flocks of singing birds flying
at an immense distance from the earth.
It is too early for the annual autumn em
igration. Yet when one stops to listen, the
course of this flight is clearly to the south
ward.
The explanation is one of the most in
teresting incidents in na'ural history. This
flight is a vast army cf bobolinks going
southwaid to undergo one of their-re
markable transformations, from a brau
liful and melodious song bird to a glut
ton that finally becomes the delight of
the good liver and epicure. This is one
of the most interesting features of our
bird life.
There is in all the New England states
a lovely song bird called the bobolink.
The very first thing a New England coun
try-born and bred boy can remember is
this beautiful little black and white song
ster of his meadows and fields. In the ear
liest spring, when the sun begins to put
new life into the living things that have
their homes in the meadows and pasture
lands, the first bird note heard is lhe
shut and sweet song of the bobolink,
when he irount-i a bush rr fence and
I asses out his thanks for the coming of
spring. He soars up fotty or fifty feet Into
the air and there, suspended, utters his
short, sweet notes, fluttering his black
wings meanwhile in the purest ecstacy.
■ Inhit* of the Bobolink.
Who would dream that the gray, dark
blown reed bird could ever he capable of
so much sentiment'.’ His little giaji-h
--browu wife meantime sits demurely on
fence or hush, admiring her dashing
matf. and doubtless thinking of the best
location lor the coming nest. The bobolink
builds on the ground, and lays from four
to six dark-bluish eggs, the larger ends
cf which are speckled witli irregular
blotches of deep brown. The male bird
Is a good husband and father. He lakes
his turn in sitting on the nest, while his
mate Is getting her food and rest
It takes about three weeks to hatch out
the clinch of eggs. Anri then comes the
rca'ly serious business of the summer,
which is providing the food for (lie young
ones, lu addition to that needful for the
parents themselves. Think of the thous
ands of mouthfuls that niut-i bo found
and carried to the nest, it has ' I ways
been a matter of wonder how the parents
managed to distribute the food so impar
tially that each young one gets Its share
and not any more Ilian belongs properly

means a dc-nd bird (* ejected from the nest

life has IIS vicissitudes. us other life lias,
and after a cold or rainy spell many nest
lings die. They are always taken fifteen
or twenty feet away from the ne.-t oy
some unknown means and dropped there.
Annual Journey.
The. young bobolinks grow very fast, and
are soon able to fly and shift for them
selves. They ore fully grown nnri able to
take long filgiil* l*efore they start out
upon tlie long Southern tour, in which
such a transformation takes place among
the ciders. As soon as the young ones
are able to look out for themselves the
parent birds make their prepararlons for
the annual l.wo and even 18.800-mlle Jour
ney. The mother bird has beeortie fullg

recuperated. The change in the male
bobolink i* even more startling and abso
lute. He” Jays aside liis brilliant <*uit of
black and white, when he begins to think
of his late summer or early autumnal
tour, and logins putting on one of dark
brown. You cannot distinguish him from
hjs wife. His children are chiefly noted
as such from being smaller than tne par
ent bird.
For a week, or even a fortnight, before
the great* event, you will observe that
some matter of great public moment is
wnder consideration in the t>oboVink com
munity. The elders—after the morning's
meaj has been gathered* In—will hold long
councils in groups of a dozen or more
and discuss the burning question, which
probably relates to the beet route as re
gards safety and food to be taken in get
ting out of their native New England.
The bobolink must be a weather proph
et of no mean experience, for his armies
never move when a great storm is im
pending. They usually so manage their
migration as to meet no storm at all.
When all Is ready the bird column of
an entire township seems to move at
once. Some soft morning you will notice
little squads *of from ten to fifty bobo
links flying hither and there. The birds
are getting ready to move. That night,
or rather in the evening# ahofrt an hour
before sunset, if you are a close observer,
you will see them rise high 1 ’ in the air
and head southward. They will make one
or two stop's, one affiong the Susque
hanna flirts,, another not far from Ilav
re-de-Grace, and there they reach their
first Land of Promise, the great reedy
marshes of the Patuxent and Potomuc,
and the'other rfced-growing lowlands of
rivers emptying into the mighty Chesa
peake bay. Here they make a long halt,
and begin to enjoy the first fruits of their
long, arduous ajkl perilous joilHiey. The
reeds In these vast marshes have heads
full of seeds that are sweet and nutritious
bird food.
Lohc Tlieir Ringing Voices.
In these places of refuge the legions of
littlejibrown strangers from far away New
England make their first bait. With the
change in plumage there has been an
other quite a>* notab>. These brown vis
itors execute no trills nor carols, rising
fTle while in fluttering ecstacy. high in the
air. The only note heard among them Is
a sort of sparrowlike chirp, fat and
husky, that is nothing but a call of di
rection. The sole duty of the late bobo
link (now called reed bird) from its own
view, is to get fat. and to do it is speedily
as possible. Ii takes on a very consid
erable quantity of adipoae from the
contents of the seed panicles at the top of
the reeds. In these great fastnesses,
comparatively safe from harm, the stran
ger bobolink from New England loses his
chief characteristic and becomes simply
an epicure. He takes a thorough course
in gastronomy at one of the first* schoo.s
in the world. To be sure il is expensive.
He acquires his knowledge at great cost.
By the lest of June or early in July the el
egantly clad black and white bobolink,
that was a model of small bird form and
grace, has simply become a rounded ball
of delicate flesh. He is astound os a ball
and as fat as butter.
“But the highest degree of delicacy and
flavor in epicurean eyes has not yet been
attained. Further and further to the
southward that mysterious instinct that
urged hi” first migration drives film until
the real promised land is attained, in the
rice fields of the Carolina* and Georgia
and Louisiana. Here he becomes the
prince of small bird epicures, and his taste
attains its highest degree of daintiness and
delicacy. The hardy Northern bird that
quailed not at the wintry blasts from off
Cape Cod now' shivers if the easterly wind
from the Atlantic blows too strongly, and
at the first sign of storm betakes himself
to the thk'ket of the reedy cover until the
trifle of a tempest bo over. The strong
winged singer that considered a nest of
young ants, laden with tneir larvae, a
dainty dish, now scorns fly or bug of the
mn.-t tempting character, and will touch
naught hut the rice grain just attaining
its highest, perfection. Once fairly en
camped in the vast areas of rice field, it
is a real difficulty to get the reed bird
out until he moves of his own volition.
This he usually does, Just after the rice
is harvested. There Is an abundance left,
for him. and our reed birds like an East
Indian deity, enters upon his third and last
incarnation. He becomes the “Carolina
rice bird,’’ a name for the purveyors of
delicacies for great restaurants to conjure
with.
How to Prepare Them,
To evolve the highest praise of the rice
bird as a delicacy, eschew the bird pie.
That may l>e good enough when com
pounded from other game. Like most
really delicious things, the rice bird is
most excellent when treated by a chef de

neither too hot, else they will spoil, nor
too cold, or they lose* flavor, for eight and
forty hours. String half a dozen upon a
silver skewer, with just a suspicion of salt,
and a dash of cayenne, broil before a quick
fire, until they are done, not overdone, but

treat the rice bird, you will say for once
that you have attained the highest de
gree in the most delicate gastronomy of
the world. Partridge and quail, snipe and
woodcock, are each in its way of the
greatest excellence, but the South Caro
lina rice bird is easily chief of its kind.
Southern Italy has a small bird that is
beloved by epicures, called the heccafico,
or fig-pecker, because it comes with the
ripening of the fig of the country. It is
uliout the size of our bird, but in other
respects is not to be mentioned in the same
class. The French ortolan, which is more
like our bird than anything that Europe
contains, is a charming accompaniment
to a bottle of some good brand of “extra
dry” with good company to savor it after
the play. But those who have tested Eng
land’s woodcock, and the two continental
favorites, are unanimous in their declara
tion that we are entertaining unawares

TREATISE >\ SKA M< K MISS.
\ Brooklyn l*h y nieiu 11 (oven Rules
for Minimising; (lie Suffering.
From the New York Press.
Dr. Herman Partsch of Brooklyn has
novel- idea* on “YYhat to Do With Sea
sickness,” which are s£t forth in the Med
ical Record. His competency to speak
upon this subject arises, he says, from the
fact that the first two and a half years
of his professional career werf*"spent as
medical officer upon ocean steamships.
He has written a prize essay and a pam
phlet on the subject, besides a book. He
su y s:
“Make no preparation calculated to
avoid seasickness. Continue jn your usual
ways. A steamer chair will prove a de
sirable convenience if the voyage is to
long, and the weather proves good.
“Get on board half on hour before sail
ing. get your cabin and small luggage ar
ranged to suit you, and have nothing to
do but take care of yourself after the
ship starts.
“Shoes .should be warm. comfortable
and easily put on and off. Besides being
comfortable, have all clothing as conven
ient as practicable for dressing and un
dressing.
• Rooms amidships are preferable. Avoid
the extreme ends of the ship. Good fa
cilities for ventilation are necessary.
“Strive to have the air indde the room
about as good as outside, even when you
are in Mt; do of least the best you can
in the circumstance** towards this end.
Two sufficiently large openings to the
room are necessary. Good, clean fresh air
is of the greatest importance to th* sus
ceptible passenger. There is no danger
from draughts. Second hand air is a lac
tor in the causation of seasickness.
“Weather end condition of health per
mitting. stay on deck much of the time
in a steamer chair, in semi-recuml>ent
position, comfortably covered and eyes
closed.
“Anywhere on shin, in berth or rhai\
keep the eyes cloned during the daytime,
with exception of short duration until
immunity from optical verttgd W ac
quired. Thus you will exclude optical
vertigo, by which is meant that dizziness
and nausea which are often consequent on
the continued observation of unusual re
lations among our environs, and between
them and ourselves.
“Whenever the slightest sensation of
illness is felt, lie down at once and close
the eyes. Use only one pillow, or. if sic <.
or it seemn likely that you will be. have
the head even below the level of the body
with no pillow' for awhile. 1 have seen
the pillow tn,ke all the difference in the
world between great misery, and almost
absolute comfort. Steamship motion can
be analyzed into twenty-six different fac
tor*. It is. therefore, complicated, and.
of course, incomprehensible at first. The
many variation!* occur to the passenger
unawares. Ills animal mechanism can
not adjust itself to them, because ho can
not at first foreknow them. The case
becomes much like that of going up or
down stairs in the dark arid finding one
step more or less than was expected. The
variations not being adjusted to, because
not foreknow, violence of Home kind is
the result. The disturbances occur in
a continued series, each slight. but the se
ries results in an accumulated sum of vio
lence which w* call seasickness.
“What is first disturbed in animal
mechandsm in the nervous system, which
control:* the circulation of the blood, and,
‘as u result, the circulation ItsMlf must
of course be disturbed. The first import
ant result is a relaxation of the blood
vessels in the alrfnmlnal cavity: these ves
sels having much lem* outside support
than those that traverse muscular tissue.
“The second effect is the gravitation of
blood Into the relaxed vessels, thus per
mitting the occurrence of a deficiency
in the brain. One result of this deficien
cy in the brain is the sensation called nau-‘
era. This mechanical deficiency of blood
in the brain, with its corresponding sensa
tion (nausea). Is to be avoided when ob
served to be approaching, and corroded
when already present, by lying down with
the head no higher than the body. If the
patient does not lie down promptly, retell
ing will take place. Retching Is nature's
method of flooding the brain with blood,
hy squeezing fhe content# of the abdom
inal cavity in auch a mancr as io fore#
upward some of the excess of blood con
tained in its relaxed vessels. The regur
gitation of food or fluids from the stom
a*h D m* n i> incidental, and not essen
tial. The stomach lias nothing to do with
seasickness except to be implicated inci
dentally and accidentally.
“By the time a patient has been sea
si<*k two or three days and his forces, re
gardless of his consent, have been drawn
upon heavily by many hours of reaching,
• •ml by anything swallowed, he will be
suffering from poverty of blood. The sons**
of hunger will h** obscured by the nausea.*
Even while lying down, a susceptible
passenger will not escape seasickness if
his blood becomes impoverished in re
spect of nuirituve material; and, having
burn seasick, ho cannot recover while his
blood remains so impoverished. To pre
vent seasickness one must keep his blood
saturated with nutritive material. To re
cover from seasickness one must saturate
bis blood with nutritive material. For this
purpose one must eat. and if unable to
eat enough at a time, he must eat often
er. To eat seven times a day is about
right; #he three regular meals, ten to
fifteen minutes before rising, half-w-ay be
tween meals, and at bedtime.
“Always eat and drink at least ten
minutes before tising in the morning. It
matters little what it is. provided It is
w'hat you want. Porter or stout is good,
so are hard sour apples. At sea wo may
find durselves liking and binging for
things * hat we hardly ever think of on
shore. Whatever you really want, that is
the best thing to take, and porter or stout
is always good, whether you want it or
not.
“Whatever is taken before rising must
be so conveniently available as pot to re
quire the patient to raise his head, in
case of por* r or stout the glass must be
dispensed with and the liquid taken di
rectly from the bottle.
“When one is already seaside those
I‘quid foods are best which require least
<*ig4 stion, a-e most rapidly absorbed and
yield the quickest returns—beer, ale por
nr, stout, broths, soups, meat extracts.
These cannot all be prescribed with suc
cess; they should only be suggested—
then the patient will choose which he
wants and the stomach will agree on the
choice. The sicker tin* patient (he often
er he must eat and Hie less at a time,
and when he feels a repugnance to all
other foods, porn r or strut taken without
raising the head, directly from the bottle,
a mouthful at a time, at about live-min
ute intervals, will prove a great success.
“A woman taking care of herself us
ually will not attend to these details, but
will suffer instead. But if she have the
help of another who will attend to each
detail promptly at the right time without
stopping to ask the patient’s consent, the
scheme works beautifully.
“If you are able to he up and about
and arc regularly going to meals, then
always lb* down Immediately after eat
ing. about fifteen minutes at hast. At
table do not wait, but begin eating at
one** on something, or delay going to table
until the rush is over, or stipulate with
your waiter for immediate attention.
When done, do not wait, but go directly
to your berth or elsewhere and lie down.
“Whenever there appears the slightest
sensation of hunger or nausea or any
indescribable sense of discomfort about
the stomach, or tn the head, eat and lie
down.
“The worse case of seasick retching will
easily he made com (wall vely comfort
able in thirty minutes or less by lying
down without a pillow, closing the eyes,
and taking a pint of |orter or stout In
"ix doses at fiv -minute intervals. An
other foed for such an emergency, but.
not so good as stout, is made hy mixing
w*ll the yolks of two raw. fresh eggs
with an equal bulk of good brandy. Give
a teaspoonful at en-minute intervals. If
you and * not fee 1 well with a pillow, remove
it. and you will feel better. This is impor
tar.t.
“Retching occurs in paroxysms at in
tervals more or less regular. The bent
time tq take the matt beverage, or any
other food. i Just after * proxysm of
retching. Should it be taken before and
thrown up. then take another dose imme
diately after the paroxysm. That will
stay down, because the next paroxysm
will not ocyur under ten or fifteen min
utes. and by (hat time tlie patient has hid
•he benefit of the dose, and should not
letch at all. 80. after casting up an
entire meal, it Is proper to go straight
way and eat another, which Is not likely
to come up.
“All neccHStry edibles, I believe, are
supplied by the steamer steward; but on
ehort voyages it may be more convenient
to have one's own variety of such thing*
for extra use in one’s cabin. In so pro
viding one should bear in mind the pres
epce of rats on some steamers.
“Avoid all needless expenditure, of men
ial or muscular energy. Talking, read
ing and listening are done at the expense
of power, which the patient may not have
to spare, and should be reduced to a min
imum by susceptible at sea. '
“Seasickness sometimes 1s a-compunh and
by sever* headache or by much then I*l
uneasiness. If these do not yield to the
treatment already prescribed, then bro
mide of sodium may be given in a dose
of haif a teuepoonful of the dry powder
In a little water; repeat the done In an
hour if necessary. The bromide of sodium
may he u*ed with the patient’s food at*
salt (which it much resembles in appear
ance tin*l taste), but only while the neces
sity for it continues. Should there be
any doubt About its necessity, do not
use (he bromide at ail.
“If thfHC direction are executed prompt
ly. fully and faithfully the passenger will
be able to endure a sea voyage of any
length with not more than a tenth of the
illness that he might suffer otherwise, and
this minimum of <ll*.o(nfurL tau b had
