SCHOONER IN DISTRESS.

GERMAN CREW RESCUED.

Scarborough townspeople looked with mingled feelings at the German two-masted schoone: "Kehrwieder " that was recently moored alongside Lighthouse Pier. She was towed into the harbour, st one o'clock in the morning by motor-boats, after having broken her libboom and gone on the rocks near Marine Drive seawall. The" **Kehrwieder's" signats of distress were answered by Scarborough fisher- men, and her crew were able to see some of the results of the brave work of their countrymen who bombarded the undeler.ded town in 1914. The "Kehrwieder," which is a Hamburg vessel, carrying cargo-rivets from Grangemouth, is the first German ship to enter Scarborough since an armed crew of the "Arethusa" brought in a Large enemy trawler during the war.

MOVING A 8,000-TON BUILDING.

The shifting of buildings without interruption of any of the services. such as telephones, lighting and power. and without inconvenience from the point of view of occupation, is a matter of common practice in America, and the "Engineering News Record" recently recorded the shift ing of a 3,000-ton building which measured 05ft. by 60ft through a distance 450ft. The new site was first cleared, and the new foundations laid. The wells of the building were underpinned with steel needles on timber shoes, supported on twelve slid- ing ways. and interior concrete columus carrying one-third of the total weight of the building were similarly supported. The walls and columns were then cut away, from the founde- tions and raised by 500 jacks... Three 90 h.p. hoisting winches supplied the pull for removing, and the pull was evenly distributed over the longer side of the moving platforma constructed underneath the building. The ways along which the removal was elected were laid only:60k, in advance of the building, sufficient low-a-day's haut of 50: The silt was thus accory- plísked in nine stages:
