At Nagasaki the re- malins of Corporal Victor J. Lindermann of the Third Artillery were transferred from the hm&glml !his) Relief. On November 21 iram E.

Mor- ten, Thirty-seventh Infantry, died of pneumonia. On November 29 Private A. K. Clausen of the Forty-second Infantry committed suicide. He was despondent and suffering from an incurable disease, so he used an old rusty knife to cut the main artery. The doctors kept him alive for two days but he finally succumbed. John H. Dennis, a corporal in the Twen- ty-fifth Infantry, died of heart disease on November 30, and Private Morris R. Rob- erts of the Thirty-seventh Infantry passed away on December 1. John Whaley of the Thirty-sixth Infan- try died on December 7 of pneumonta, and just es the ship was making port Thomas J. Moran of the Nineteenth Infantry joined the great majority. All the bodies were embalmed and brought to San Fran- cisgo, but Moran was the only one who ot' a glimpse of his native land before eath. The Hancock came in with all her flags at half-mast and was promptly quaran- tined. About 4 p. m. she was released and two hours later the cabin passengers came ashore. Among those who came up on the Han- cock was Captain Devereux Shields. He was captured by the Fillpinos and nearly Killed. He still bears the marks of the bolos and says he never wants to spend another month and a half among the in- surgents. e G I Arrival of the Hathor. The Kosmos liner Hathor arrived from Antwerp via South and Central American ports_yesterday. Owing to the fact that the Sierra was on one side of Pacific- street wharf and the Alden Besse on the other she could not dock in her old berth and had to go to Lombard street. To- morrow when the Sierra sails there will room for her and she will move there be when,_discharged. The Hathor stopped at San Diego on her way here and all the news she brought from South and Cen- tral America was telegraphed here. fowsis o il Trouble in the Mandalay. There was a strike on the steam schooner Mandalay last Sunday. The union men struck for higher wages and Captain Reid refused to acede to their de- mand. Later the men walked off and the captain got up steam and anchored off Vallejo-street wharf. Then he went ashore and secured a mon-unfon crew. At a late hour the Mandalay went to sea and the union now promises to make trou- Ee NlJor ger at Coquille River, whither she und. ——— ‘Water Front Notes. The four-masted schooner Robert Bearles has just completed a wonderfully season and Captain J. H. Plltz will re- ceive many congratulations on his re. turn. The captain is a native son and succeeded his father in command of the vessel. This is his first voyage, and, course, all his friends are elated over his success. The British ship Carmanian, that has been in quarantine since November 12 last, was released to-day. She came here from Calcutta and had some suspicious cases aboard. All members of the crew were fumigated and all the ballast was thrown overboard. It must have cost the owners many thousands of dollars to get away from Angel Island. A. Rademer, late chief officer of the City of Panama, has heen transferred to the San Blas and will go out on that vessel. SR NEWS OF THE OCEAN. Matters of Interest to Mariners and Shipping Merchants.

(Sin- gular subject; singular verb.) (Plural Troubles never come singly. Half of them are gone, (Subject singu- subject; plural verb.) o lar in form, but plural in sense; plural verb.) “Guiliver's Travels” Swift. (Subject gular in sense, singular verb.)

(Two singular subjects taken togeth- er as one thing; singular verb.) Neither Fred nor his sister was there. ar jects considered sepa- t ngular verb.) You observe that, in general, a singular form of the verb is used when the subject gular or regarded as singular; a al form when the subject is plurai or regarded as plural was written by lural n form, but sin- denoting a single book; thenues. = The principle that a verb agrees with its 6. Difference between 3 and &. subject in number is In most cases fol- ed unconsciously. A few instruetions, er, require tice: 1. The promoun ‘you" takes a plural verb even when its meaning is singular; as, “Tom, you were late.” 9 A collective noun in the singular num- | ber takes a singular verb when the collee- tion is viewed as a whole: a plural verb when the members of the collection are thought of as individua as, “The com- mittee was discharge (Here the com- mittee is thought of a body.) “The committee were eating dinner.” (The com- mittee ate, not as a body, but as separate individuals.) 3. When subjects connected by “or” or “nor’’ are of different numbers, the verb usually agrees with the nearest; as, “One or two were there.” 4. Words jolned to a singular subject by “with,” “together with,” “in additiem to™ are not on the same vel as the subject, but are parenthetical, and therefore do not affect the number of the verb; as, “Justice, as well as mercy, allows it.” 5. When one or more plural words eome between a singular subject and its verb a writer is in danger of forgetting the real grammatical | - | subject and of giving to the verb the num- ber of the nearest substantive, The fol- It will be found that the sum of the are correct: “The forma- areas of the squares on the sides is equal phs is very important. to the area of the square on the hypo- thenuse. You must remember the following facts about areas bf triangles, oblongs and par- allelograms: 1. A parailelogram is equal in area to the oblong of the same length and height. 2. All parallelograms which have their bases equal and have the same height are equal in area. . A diagonal of a_parallelogram dlv‘des it into two identical triangles. 4 A triangle is equal to half an oblong of the number multiplied by itself. The square root of a number is that smaller number which multiplied by itself will give that number. Thus, 2 is the square of 5; 4 is the square root of 16. Exercises. 1.
