HINDENBURG...
Scapa Flow will be the scone chis summer of the biggest silvago font ever attempted. when the battlo-cruiser Hind- mburg-sunk in the scuttling of he German floot six years ago- is to be refloated.
Twenty-one of the smaller vossels have been raised, already by moans of floating ducks, and wires; but the Hindenburg. which has a displacement o 27,000 tons, is too unwieldy. The water, therefore, is to be pumped out of her, so that she may automatically rise to the surface

COAL CRISIS.
London, April 3 Political circles regard the coal situation, despite the somewhat unpromising developments, not Surely as the stray and homeless pessimistically. It was never dogs are the chief mennee, to the anticipated the Coal Commission's public, attention should be concenreport would be accepted without trated on them, and fur greater at least very considerable negotia- discrimination should be exercised ions, the basis of which has been by the police in regard to the con- provided by the owner's state- dition of the dogs they take up or ment cabled on April 1st.

Most of the dogs taken to the Dogs Home by, the police have been in fairly good condition, whilst there can be seen at all times many poor, miserable, mangy," unhealthy cr starving dogs left lying about both in Victoria and Kowloon. These latter obviously are the type of dog which it is, necessary to clear off the streets.
The climax of lack of discrimina tion has been reached by the taking up of dogs at the Peak, where, as is well known, there are no stany

FORTY PUMPS.
"Steel patches or concrete will be placed over the holes, und when this is completed sho will be pumped out from the top:
There be 40 pumps operating, and we expect that, going at full pressure, they will empty her in 12 hours, having removed from 50,000 to 60,000 tons of water,
We calculate that the whole operation will occupy about six months. The four floating docks will be moved into position round the Hindenburg on March 1, and will serve as working platforms for the drivers and mer engaged in the task.
Twelve divers will be con- stantly at work, and they have already made a preliminary survey of the hull, which is lying in sand and shingle, covered with barnacles and thick souwood.
"Part of their task will be to tunnel under the wrack in order to; facilitate the patching of the Boncocks, which are 24 inches in diamotor. Thoy will use shovels, and have compressed air scrapers for cleaning the ship's bottom."
If this operation is successful the firm anticipate that it will be possible to raise the remaining big ships by the same means at the rate of two a summer; but! with the exception of the Hin- denburg, which remained upright; owing to the comparative shall- owness of the water, the others are tilted over.
