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."

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 to il l>ut it seem* always to he equally divided. Another curious thing is by whs. means a dc-nd bird (* ejected from the nest ami carried some .llatmice away. Bird 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 THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. JULY 3. 1900. 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.

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.

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 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 without retch tog, 9 * Plant System. of Railways.

SINGER PIANO Is sold by many of the leading dealers In the United States, such as Wm. Steinert Sons Cos., who have the largest establishments in Boston, New Haven and Providence. Also the SINGER PIANO Is Bold by Wm. Knabe Cos., having the leading houses In Boston, Balilmore, Washington and New York city. There are a number of leading houses handling SINGER PIANO, too numerous to men lion. The SINGER PIANO is evidently one of the best pianos in the market, or It would not be sold by these leading houses. It has an elegant singing tone, much finer than most pianos, and about one-half the price of other instruments. Call and see, and examine the SINGER PIANO and save a good deal of money on your purchase. Same guarantee is ex tended for the SINGER PIANO as any of the leading pianos of the day, and a sat isfactory price will be given to ail on ap plication. LIPPMAN BROTHERS.
