compensation this is the time when the tallow salvors arc joyous The day Ilxed for the ceremony of launching is reached and as usuallj happens when a battleship is to be launched a big crowd assembles The battleship rests on slipways down which she will glide from the dock yard into the water The only thing that prevents the ship from sliding In to the water before the proper time is the dog shores large pieces of wood that keep in position tho cradle upon which the battleship rests When the cord that releases tho dog shores is cut the battleship glides down the slip ways Into the water amid the cheers of the spectators and the playing of the band The slipways have to be made as smooth and as slippery as it Is pos sible to make them so that nothing shall prevent the battleship from glid ing into the water safely It is the greasy substance with which these slipways are covered that calls forth the joy of the tallow salvors Since the slightest mishap at the launching would almost certainly prove to be a very costly matter no pains are spared to insure that everything Including the ship goes smoothly and the greasing of the slipways Is prop erly regarded as an important task The material used in the process Is generally tallow mixed with linseed oil or soft soap and this is smeared on to the ways to a thickness of about two inches Every Inch of the ways must be covered carefully and a host of men are employed in the work First of all the tallow Is spread on with trowels so as to give a smooth and flat surface and then the soft soap or linseed oil is poured on top Be tween one and one and a half tons of the mixture is used in the case of a battleship and the cost of launch ing amounts to a good sum something like 800 or 1000 The tallow salvors get ready to reap the harvest Crowding the water just where tho ship is to be launched will be seen a number of small rowing boats belong ing to the tallow salvors As the ves sel glides Into the water the tallow which has clung to the keel and bot tom plates from the ways becomes loosened and floats to the waters sur face in great masses Tlmn the tallow salvors swarm around Bared to the shoulder they reach over the sides of their boats and proceed to gather in as much of tho floating tallow as they can Some of them even have small hand nets to help them but in any case It Is only a question of a few minutes before the boats are covered both Inside and out with the slippery oily mixture while in the center small heaps of fat gradually arise No ordinary per son could remain in the boats but the tallow salvors are not at all particular They row off with their loads and dispose of them to the local soap makers Sometimes as much as 2 or 3 can be made by a very agile tallow salvor London Answers Poes Devotion to His Vife No picture of Poe in Philadelphia would be complete writes B P Ober holtzer iu Book News if we do not remember his poetic attachment for his girl wife and his love for high lit erary ideals so faithfully evidenced in his own writing and in his criticism of the work of other men His love for his wife was a sort of rapturous worship of the spirit of beauty which he felt was fading before his eye Mr Graham wrote after the poets death I have seen him hovering around her when she was ill with all the fond fear and tender anxiety of a mother for her firstborn her slight est cough causing in him a shudder a heart chill that was visible I rode out one summer evening with them and the remembrance of his watchful eyes eagerly bent upon tho slightest change of hue in that loved face haunts mo yet as the memory of a sad strain Recollecting that when she was gone honest sorrow mingled with the poverty that hung about him like a thick cloud through which no sun shone we can afford to forgive much in those last misspent days Blunders of the Types An author who has a scrapbook de voted to typographical errors was showing the articles to a friend One item concerned a dance The word bonnier was misprinted with this deplorable result There were no bonier ladies present than the mayors own daughters and this fact was fur ther emphasized by the perfect fit of tho shepherdess costumes they wore A country paper after telling how a cow got in front of a train said As the safest course under the circum stances the engineer put on full steam dashed into the cow and literally cut it into two calves A New York society editor misprint ing the word chill published this statement Mrs Astor was unavoida bly absent from the reception being kept at home by a bad child Helping the Minister A young minister unexpectedly called upon to address a Sunday school asked to gain time Children what shall I speak about A little girl on the front seat who was in the habit of reciting at enter tainments had committed to memory several declamations so that she was always prepared for any occasion Sympathy and Interest shone in her jface as she held up her hand and in a shrill voice inquired What do you know best Ladles Home Journal i THOMAS NELSON FATaE Talontcd Virginia Novelist Who Writct of tho Old South According to Mrs L II Harris a southern Hferary critic Thomas Nelson Iage is rapidly losing his vogue and baa done ids best work Ills reputa tion says this writer must rest upon what he already has accomplished Thore is a long string of excellent hooks to Mr Pages credit and even if it be true that his best work is all behind him his reputation In American literature will remain an enviable one Mr Page is still in the prime of life being only fifty four lie is of course a native Virginian Most of his lit erary work is strictly of tho Virginia flavor Mr Page now lives in Wash- TOsbKiiffJ Sis THOMAS NELSON PAGE iugton where he has a commodious residence but his pen continues to paint word pictures of Virginia life It Is the antebellum Virginia and the Virginia of reconstruction days which mostly engages Mr Pages talent Born of one of the fine old families of the state his books are alive with the traditions of the landed aristocrat the planter the proud old military man and the pretty girl of the manor house It is this constant working over of material from a day that is past which according to Mrs Ilarris accounts for the waning popularity of Mr rages writings The present generation of readers is said to be more or less in different to those historic times when the south was struggling in the throes of civil war and reconstruction As the writer mentioned says lie has interpreted what was at the time he wrote the spirit of the south that armored and helmeted spirit which survived the defeats of the civil war riding unconquered and uncon mierable through bereavements pov erty and the unimaginable humiliation of the reconstruction period GENERAL 1V10RTEZA KHAN Persian Minister Is a Giant and Ten Times a Millionaire One of the most interesting members of the diplomatic corps at Washington is General Morteza Khan the Persian minister In personal appearance he is quite striking being six feet four inches tall His height is emphasized by his tall pot shaped hat or fez The minister is said to be worth 10000 000 He is a bachelor and is forty two years old With the exception of the shah he is perhaps the greatest land owner in Persia His particular hob by is irrigation and since coming to GKNE5AJJ aiOBTEZA KHAX the United States two and a half years ago he has made a considerable study of American methods Minister Morteza has passed his life in official posts He began as a page in the royal palace lie was sent to Paris by the shah to be educated and upon his return in 1SS2 he was made chamberlain to his majesty and drago man in the state department In that department he served many years having charge of matters relative to America even before his appointment as minister at Washington The title of khan which he bears is equivalent to a patent of nobility It was conferred upon the minister by the shah Minister Morteza brought from his beautiful home in Persia a large collection of house furnishings of distinctive Persian style with which he furnished the Washington legation THE LOST ATLANTIS An Ideal Land Where Man Had Reach ed Social Perfection According to Plato who was tho first to put the story on record having heard it from the Egyptian priests At lantis was an island in the Atlantic ocean over against the pillars of ner cules It was larger than Asia and Africa taken together and 9000 years before his tune was densely peopled by a race rich great and powerful The do minion extended over the greater part of Africa and Europe and their con quering progress was finally checked only by the united resistance of the Athenians and other Greeks In the course of time this great peo ple this powerful nation forgot its greatness and Its power and turned to wickedness and sin Then thero came an earthquake which lasted a day and a night and was followed by an inundation of the sea After that nothing but slime and shoals remained to mark the spot where Atlantis had flourished This is the romantic story as told by Plato As we have said he got it from the Egyptian priests Where did the priests get it Was It purely im aginary or was It founded as some of the stones of mythology are upon a thin foundation of fact On this point both the ancient and the modern writers have different views Some suppose that the exist ence of the island was really believed In because the Phoenicians may have visited the Canary islands or the Azores that the story of Atlantis grew out of their possible discovery Others think that it Is the expression of a vague belief by the ancients in the existence of the western heml sphere So far as the origin of the story goes we shall never perhaps know mnrfi than we do now but we have for all time the beauty of the story itself as showing what the poets of an tiquity conceived to be the ideal con dition of the human race According to these ancient writers Atlantis was one of the most produc tive countries In the world Its nat ural resources were unbounded Ev erything that could add to the pleasure and comfort of men was there in pro fusiongrain wine delicious fruit metals of various kinds great forests fertile plains pleasure grounds springs and rivers The island was divided into ten kingdoms each wholly independent of the other but bound by the common ties of noble purposes and mutual good will Commerce flourished as it did nowhere else in the world its harbors receiving the products of every other known country- There were large and populous cities rich in architectural ef fect and embellished with the most beautiful works of art Its villages were also rich and thriving and its fields were under the most skillful and profitable cultivation This was Atlantis as the old poets pictured it the ideal land where men had reached the ultimate development of social and general government Chicago News Visitors From Space Whatever be their origin it would seem that these solid bodies meteor ites are hurling through space at ve locities which may be anything be tween ten and forty miles a second If they come near enough to this earth to be attracted by it their course is changed and presently they enter our atmosphere The result is a sudden check to their speed owing to the in tense resistance and friction engen dered by contact with the air parti cles What happens may be likened to the sudden application of the wooden brake block to the rapidly moving wheel of an express train Heat is fTonnrntori in nplmnjro for motion and the trail of sparks from the checked wheel is represented in tho checked meteorite by a luminous trail We commonly call it a shooting star and if its mass be small it is possibly alto gether dissipated in heat and gas or it may ultimately find its way to our earth as dust Such meteoric dust has been found on the eternal snow of mountains where dust of the ordi nary type would be impossible If on the other hand the mass of matter be large its surface only will be af fected by the sudden heat generated and it may fall to the ground entire or possibly explode and be scattered in fragments over a wide area Cham bers Journal A Vise Answer It takes but an ordinary man to re turn an angry answer to an insult The extraordinary man is he who un der such circumstances holds himself so well under control that he controls his adversary also Persia once pos sessed such a man and was clear sight ed enough to make him a judge He was the chief judge of Bandad in the reign of Caliph Hadee and ins name was Aboo Yusuph He was a very wise man for he knew his own de ficiencies and was actually sometimes in doubt as to whether he possessed sufficient wisdom to give a just de cision in cases peculiarly shrouded in mystery It is related of him that on one occasion after patient investiga tion of facts he decided that he had Si First National Bail mm Solicits the patronage ol those
