IE work of raising the Maine
In Havana harbor is not more
than half finished. While re­
ports have been sent out from
time to time fixing the date for
the final raising of the derelict, not
one of such reports has been author
lzed, not one of them Is or can be
reliable. It was stated nearly a year
ago that the ship would be raised by
February 1, 1911. Today the greater
part of the ship is burled in sticky,
black mud and there Is every possi­
bility that six months will lapse, if not
a much longer time, before the hull
Is fully exposed and raised, if it is
ever found possible to float any part
of It And no one is to blame for the
delay. The job has proved itself lust
about ten times greater and more for­
midable than it originally gave prom­
ise of being.
Ship a Mass of Twisted Steel.
No one who has not seen the wreck
Aid been on it and through It can un­
derstand Its almost Impossibly tangled
condition. The stern of the ship, is
comparatively intact But not more
than a third of what was the original
vessel la recognizable as such. Amld-
shlp the tangle begins. Funnels, con­
ning towers, decks, cabins, engines,
machinery, are all a tangled pathetic
mass that even the most expert of
naval engineers and constructors have
been unable to classify properly. The
whole bow was blown off and turned
around and pointed back toward the
stern. The old controversy of what
caused the explosion Is still on, but
experts declare the uncovering of the
Maine will never solve the mystery.
The titanic force of the explosion
— or explosions, for there were two of
them without question— impresses the
observer as having been appalling.
Think of a force that would break a
s(eel battleship in twain and dance
the half of It about like a cork.
The old controversy as to whether
the Maine was blown up from with­
out or within will not be settled by
the uncovering of the wreck— not

An Old-Fashioned Dish,
When In doubt about what to eat—
eat ham and eggs. This time of year
the appetite has a fashion of becom­
ing indifferent and refusing to re­
spond at the mention of dishes that
usually cause it to take on a keen
edge. Ham and eggs, served country
style, will usually supply the want.
In frying ham country style choose
slices not too thin. If vary salty. It
may be necessary to parboil It. Trim
and place in a heated fryingpan. using
no fat, and fry over a quick lire for
ten minutes. Allow six eggs to a
slice of ham. Break the eggs Into a
bowL Add two tableapoonfuls of
sweet cream and beat thoroughly.
Bait and pepper slightly and when the
ham Is almost done turn the eggs
over It la the pan and fry until they
set. Serve on a large platter gar­
nished with curly parsley.
Early this morning a thin, well-
dreased woman walked rapidly Into an
Atchison dry goods store where a big
sale was going on. She stopped at the
first counter she came to and began
ransacking It. The woman at the
counter fell back and a clerk hurried
forward and respectfully looked on
The woman's hands bandied the goods
on that counter with the practiced
skill of a surgeon when he is perform­
ing an operation; she did not miss one
piece of goods, and then with a bard
glitter in her eyes and setting her
thin lips more closely together she
darted to another counter, plunging
head first Into the material piled two
or three feet high. The other women
at the counter looked at her deferen
tlally. and the clerks gased fascinated
From counter to counter the woman
went, without glancing to the right or
to the left. She examined every yard
of goods, every ready-to-wear gar-
If a million experts render their "In­
disputable” opinions. The consensus
ot opinion is now, as it ever was, that
an outside mine explosion preceded
and precipitated the interior explosion
— that of the ship’s magazine.
All
testimony goes to establish the fact
that there were two distinct explo­
sions. But the Spanish folk will nev­
er admit that there were two. Those
who even incline to listen to the sug­
gestion that there might have been
two contend that If two occurred that
within the ship must have been the
first Soma, but not many, Americans
hold to the opinion that the wreck
was caused solely by ar explosion of
the vessel's magazine.
Lends Color to Theory.
But the fact that the destruction of
the vessel celebrated on Calle Cuba,
In Havana, before it occurred, and
that that celebration was participated
in by Spanish royalists, has a decided
tendency to lend color to the theory
that the wreck was planned.
Lurid stories of all sorts to "new
discoveries” which are calculated to
“ clear up the mystery" are on con­
stant, dally tap in Havana. Within a
week a circumstantial yarn to the ef­
fect that a wire cable leading from
the bow of the Maine to Cabanas had
been discovered went the rounds. All
such stories are myths. But the Im­
pressiveness,
the wierdness,
the
creepiness, the oppressive unc^nnines
of the wreck Itself is by no means
mythical. It gets on one’s nerves.
Eighty-eight men perished when the
Maine went down. About 25 skele-
tions — or parts of skeletons —
have
been recovered.

Although the explosion occurred In
February— over 13 years ago. by the
way— the night was hot and many of
the crew slept out on the port side
of the berth deck. Most of the bodies
recovered have been from this part
of the ship. Down in the engine
room— when that is reached—from 25
to 30 bodies probably will be found—
bodies of the poor devils who worked
down below the water line and who
hadn’t a condemned man’s chance
to get away.
In the Captain’s cabin and In the
other quarters that have been uncov­
ered and mud-relieved, articles of va­
rious sorts in most remarkable pres­
ervation have been found. The most
striking thing in this line is a box
of rubber bands In a perfect state of
elasticity and preservation. Their im­
mersion in the intensely salt waters
of Havana harbor appears to have im­
proved them, if anything.

There is, roughly, 25 feet of mud to

exterior of each of the caissons com­
posing the cofferdam Is 50 feet long.
Between 25 and 30 feet of water was
pumped ouL There is nothing but
mud remaining. But it is glue-like
mud and is 10 times harder to get rid
of than the water was.
Hydraulic
pumps have been installed, but the
work put upon them is so unusual
that they haven't been successful as

Only the intense heat cuts
through metal as a knife would

A five-inch square
piece of steel was seen severed so
quickly that the operation appeared
to be almost magical. The method of
cutting away the opposing metal parts
will be continued until the wreck is
entirely removed.
Incrusted With Oysters.
The whole part of the ship so far
exposed is incrusted with oysters and
barnacles— mostly oysters. Hundreds
of thousands of the bivalves have at­
tached themselves to the hulk. The
incrustations appearing in the pic­
ture are all oysters. When the water
was being removed from the coffer­
dam thousands of fish and eels
splashed and struggled In the Inclos­
ure. There were many of the several
hundred workmen employed by Major
Ferguson who took home strings of
flsh every night when they quit work
Now, of course, there is nothing but
slimy mud within the lnclosure.
The work of constructing the cof­
ferdam, and. In fact, practically all of
the executive labor connected with
the ’’raising,’’ has been conducted by
Major Hartley B. Ferguson, who Is
one of the main board. Colonel W il­
liam Black and Colonel Mason Patrick
are the other two.
The cofferdam
has been repeatedly tested and In sev
eral places re-enforced, and, while It
is the first one of the sort ever con­
structed, the complete success of It
has marked a place in the history of
engineering.
But successful as ths
work has been remarkable, the cold j
fact probably Is not more than half
finished.

FOR THOSE FOND OF SALSIFY
Old Recipe That Has Been Popular
With European Housewives for
Many Years.
Wash and scrape the salsify roots,
cut off the extreme joints, stand them
up and grate them. Beat three eggs
light and stir them gradually into a
pint of milk, with sufficient flour to
make a stiff batter. Instead of grat­
ing the salsify you may cut tt into
pieces and boll it till quite soft, so
that you can mash It easily.
Add a
little pepper and have ready over the
fire a deep frying pan or skillet with
plenty of boiling lard. Put In a large
spoonful of the batter, and into the
middle of each drop a spoonful of the
mashed salsify. Fry these fritters to
a light brown on both sides and take
them out with a perforated skim­
mer. You may fry the masbed salsi­
fy without the batter, taking large
spoonfuls and dipping each in beaten
egg first, and afterward twice over In
grated bread crumbs, so as to resem­
ble fried oysters. Or you may first
boil the roots and merely split them
in two before frying them In fresh but­
ter, or baking them brown in the
oven.
B e e fste a k Pie.
Flank steak or a slice from chuck
or upper round can be utilized for
the meat pie. Cut It In fingers, dredge
each piece with salt and peper.
Should the amount be scant pare,
quarter and parboil a few potatoes. A
few ounces of raw tarn cut fine and
added serve to Improve the flavor.
Make a rich biscuit crust and roll out
almost a half-inch thick.
With this
line a deep baking dish and fill with
the prepared meat, etc. Add a half
cupful of rich stock, fit on the top
covering and bake in a moderate oven
for an hour and a half, covering at
first that the crust may not become
too brown. Have ready a quart of
rich gravy. When the pie is taken
from the oven pou. carefully in as
much as it It will hold, serving the re­
mainder separately.
