Small Hope of His Survival.

SEARCH TUG RETURNS..

Upon enquiry this morning, it was learned that no trace had been found by searching vessels of Mr. George J. Lavin, chief officer of the American steamer Golden Mountain, who, it is pre- sunned, fell overboard off Green Island on Wednesday night.

The Naval tug sent out by the Commodore has returned, und no further information has been received from any other quar- ter.

It is now learned that the wen- ther on Wednesday night outside bad, coupled with a thick fog. It must, therefore, be re- gretfully concluded that small hopes can be entertained of Mr. Lavin's survival.

MAN'S FIGHT WITH LEOPARD

IN GARDEN.

Searching for a missing dog, the head warder of the Central jail in Jubbulpore stumbled across a full- grown leopard with which he had to battle for his life on a Sunday afternoon lately.

His search led him to the under- growth surrounding the garden where he found the dog dead in a pool of blood.

On 'approach he was met by the growling leopard which appeared from the undergrowth, Under the Impression that the animal was a hyena the warder dealt it a blow with a stick, but As the animal MR. WILLIAM KERR. emerged into full view, he realized

"GHOST" OF SYDNEY BRIDGE.

Engineers Explain Weird Wailings.

FRICTION OF JOINTS.

Sydney Harbour Bridge, the largest in the world, has a "ghost."!

Engineers say that they have a simple explanation for eerle whils which are heard at irregular in- tervals, but workmen still call the phenomenon the "bridge ghost."

The uncanny sounds were heard first on the approach spans. They were first attributed to the siren of u veasel passing underneath the arch, but the persistence of the sounda soon attracted closer atten tion. Engineers were informed, and tried to explain the phenome-

A very simple solution of the pro blem has now been found. It has been observed that the wailing Is heard only on days during which the On a temperature varies greatly. cloudy day, broken by short periods of strong sunshine, the wails are particularly noticeable.

On such days there is consider- able movement at the expansion joints of each steel truss. Due to the weight of steel bearing on the platea on which euch truss slides, ! friction is considerable. Move- ment then takes place in a series of backward and forward jerks. This irregular movement sets up vibra-l tions in the members constituting the framework of each truss, which acts as an enormous tuning-fork.

A Sydney naturalist disagrees with the scientific explanation, and asserte that he identifies the walls of the bridge as the usual hunger cry of the white elephant,
