The Kftrllc«t Anohor* Mode on th* Hook Principle Hod Only One Flake Crude Device* That Are Still C*ed In Different Porte of tho World. Tboro appear to bo two ideas which have lod up to the invention of the modern anchor: (1) the idea of attach ing tho vessel by means of a rope or chain to a weight sufficiently heavy to keep the vessel from moving when the weight has sunk to tho bottom of the sea, and (2) the idea of using a hook instead of (or in audition to) tho weight, so as to catch in the bottom. The Eng lish word anchor Is praotically the same as tho Latin ancora aujl the Greek uug kuru, meaning ‘’that which has an an gle," from the root ank, bent. The earliest anchors made on the hook principle probably only had one fluke instead of two. In the “Susm x Artliwil. Coll. ” there is an illustration of what has been surmised to be an anchor made out of the natural forked branch of a tree. It was found with an ancient British oanoo at Bnrpham, Sus ses. There is in the British museum an interesting leaden anchor with two flukes bearing a Greek inscription. Its date is about 50 B. O. and it was found off the coast of Gyrene. Tho Invention of the anchor with two flukes Is attributed by Pausanius to Midas, by Pliny to Eupalamas, and by Strabo to Anooharsi*. Diodorus Siculus states that the first anchors wore wood en tubes flllod with lead, whilo unother classical writer says that before the In troduction of metal anchors lumps of stone with a hole through tho middle for tho attachment of the cable were used. Tho form of the anchors used by the Greeks and Romans Is well known from representations on Trajan’s column and ill too cauiooniDB at nome as uu onriy Christian symbol. This form does not seem to have changed materially for quite a thousand years, as is shown by the Bayeux tapestry. Some very primitive kinds of anchors uru in nse at the present day in different purts of tho world, and a study of their construction may throw some light on tho evolution of tho modem anchor. An anchor which came from Japan consists of a natural forked branch of a tree, slightly improved artificially, so as to make a hook. Two round burs are fixed at right angles to the shank, and to these two ordinary ben eh pebbles are tied. The length of the anchor is 2 feet .8 inches, the width across the hook 8 inches, and across the transverse bars 1 foot 6 Inches. The stones are from 5 to 0 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick. Another enohor was in use quite re cently in the Arran islands, off the west coast of Galway. It is constructed of a sloping bar at each side and three cross - bars, forming u figure not nnlike the isosceles triangle in Euclid’s pons asi norum. The lowest of the three cross bars is of square section and is fixed by iron spikes at each side to tho sloping pieces so as to prevent them spreading outward. The stone, which acts as a weight, is clipped by means of the two side pieoes, being held tightly by two splioed rings of rope passing under the upper crossbars. These crossbars are of round section and project at each side, thus keeping the rope rings from slipping upward. The cable is fixed to the middle of the lowest transverse bar and is carried np on one side of the stone, then between the two sloping boards, and finally through a loop fixed to a hole at the top of the anchor. The boards at each side are 1 foot 10% inches long and the stone 1 foot 6 inches long. It may seem strunge that such primi tive looking contrivances should con tinue to be used by fishermen who have a full knowledge of every modern ap pliance connected with navigation and vessels, yet there are good reasons why they should have survived. Where the sea or river bed is rocky anchors are easily lost This is a serious matter when the anchor is of iron and of some value, but if it is constructed like those described there is not much difficulty ap avpAnui ill rnnln/iiliir it. A hft&dl stone and a few bits of wood are always at hand, and the skilled workmanship required to fashion them into a very serviceable anchor is but small. Thus it is tiiat under certain condi tions primitive appliances must always hold their owu against modern inven tions. When, us often happens, a newly introduced contrivance gets out of or der, it generally involves much greater loss of tin. j and more expense to re place it than if it were of simpler con struction and callable of being uiudo by uu ordinary workmun out of materials easily procurable <ju the spot. Highly civilized man has much to leum from his prehistoric ancestors and from uncultured races still existing us to iiow he should act in an einurgeucy when deprived of his usual upplianccs. — Iteliquary and Illustrated Arohmolo gist Trials of Trtuulalluu.

How Jim Adkins Went to War,Got Buried and Wm Resurrected. "Talking about war times," said tbo old colonel, “did any of you ever boar the story of Jim Adkins?” “No.” “Well, I’m surprised. Everybody In the settlement knew it. Jim was a no 'count sort of a fellow, and the old man was anxions to get rid of him, so when tho war broke out and they were look ing around for men the old man gave him away.” “Gave him away?" "Yes. Jim was in the hayloft, and they were about to leave without him when the old man winked and pointed to the burn. "That was enough, and they got him and mnrchwl him to the front. "The old man was sorry after Jim was gone uud his conscience hurt him bod. But he hoped for the best, until one day ho got a message that told him Jim had been killed and buried on the battlefield. “Then he packed his gripand started right off to bring Jim’s body home, if ixissiblo, for the grief stricken mother would have nothing elso and made life miserable fru- him with her reproaches “He went to Virginia, and was there informed that it would be impossible to remove the body. So he stood over the spot where it was buried and wept for three days. Then he went sadly home. “And, lo and behold, the first man he met as he neared bis gate was Jim —safe, sound and right side up with oare! “It was some time before the old man could say a word, but when ho found it was roally Jim—in flesh and blood—that they had got Jim mixed up with some other Adkins and he hadn’t been killed at all, the old man was hot I He slowly divested himself of bis coat, then rolled np bis sleeves and made for him I It was the liveliest scrap you aver saw—the old man on top, and the two of mu wallowing In the dost! “It took the old lady and tho three girls and two stout darkies to pull the old man off. “He never did explain why be did it, and Jiui didn’t ask any questions, hut the next morning ho told his mother that while his furlough wusn’t out still he knew his country needed him and he couldn’t stand to stay at home under those circumstances, so he left his blessing for tho old man and took the first train for tho front. ”—Atlanta Con stitution. _ HE WAS A HUMBUG.

Yon must have a clean napkin every meal, and you cannot eat if there is a tiny spot on the tablecloth, and everything must be served just ex actly so or you get grumpy. Now, is not that true?’’ “A man likes to see things in order in his own house, ” said Scribbler. “Of course he does, and I try to keep things in order, but I defy any woman to maintain the degree of order you ex pect with four or five children in the house. Now, this article refers to just such unreasonable, fussy men as you arc, and it is not one bit too severe even when it says that they aro small spirit ed and lacking in true manliness.

A Spanish admiral touching at some foreign port in tho natural coarse of events calls on the governor of the local fort, and on the return call tho governor sees the one lit tle gun of the Spanish man-of-war run out to Urn u return salute, but at the critical moment the Spanish admiral rushes up and throws tho gun, carnage and all, into the sea. "What!" exclaims the distinguished visitor. "Why do you throw your gov ernment's guns overboard?” " Because." replies the admiral, ‘‘if the gun had gone off, it would have blown this whole ship to pieces! That means another decoration for me!"
