KOYAL NAMES A HOODOO
On of thr ftronjicM SnpcritUlorm
of the KtiKllflh Vnrr
One of the very strongest and most
Ineffaceable of all superstitions In tho
royal navy n superstition that Is al
most ns strong today ns over It was Is
that vessels bearing the names of roy
al pcrHoungcs are doomed to 111 luck
and strange as It tuny seem there Is
an undeniable historic basis for this
feeling
Home of tho most terrible disasters
ever known in connection with our na
vy have concerned war vessels with
royal nninrs Two vessels called the
Uoynl James came to disastrous ends
One of them exploded nud somo 800
officers nud senmen perished The oth
er ship so named was actually carried
out of the mouth of the Thames by the
Dutch Admiral do Iluyter under clr
cumstniicus disgraceful to thoso Jn
charge of the craft
Then there Is the forever memorable
disaster to the Uoynl George an un
lucky ship previously that turned over
and sank In sight of crowds nt Spit
head over 1000 souls among whom
were 300 women being sacrificed And
second only to tills hideous disaster Is
that which afterward befell the Royal
Charlotte which after a career of
much vicissitude wns consumed by
fire off Leghorn over 800 of tho very
flower of the navy perishing with her
When In 1803 the Victoria a new
vessel nnd the very triumph of modern
Invention so far as naval architecture
went wns rammed and snuk nt once
In sight of the whole lleet and when
hundreds of lives were lost there was
not n snllor however matter of fact he
might be who did not remember the
dire fate of the royally named craft
These Instnuces nre only the greater
ones A score of smaller ones are reel
ed off by every royal navy man Tlt

A Piece of 1ure Inclc
The discovery of the famous Trojan
mine In Calaveras county Cal Is curi
ous ns an illustration of pure luck and
doubtless has heartened many a dis
couraged miner Iu January 1805
Henry Becker a German nud John L
Trimmer n Connecticut man two poor
ragged discouraged miulug prospect
ors went Into the mountains of Cala
veras county to cut onk wood for fuel
Iliey expected to make something llko
f30 or 40 each per mouth durlug the
winter by tho sale of the wood They
made their home In nn old abaudoncd
miners cabin A heavy fall of snow
bad covered the ground to the depth of
two or more feet
One day the two men built a great
bonfire of brush The heat melted the
snow nnd left an area of hot earth
Becker determined to make an oven
out of the hot ground aud securing a
haunch of deer meat he began the
digging of a hole In which to bake
It At tho depth of two feet he
came upon a bed of rock He hnd been
a prospector too long to resist tbe temp
tation of examining the rock and ac
cordingly before placing the meat In
tho hole he broke off a piece of the
rock
Then after the venison was burled
and roasted he examined the broken
bit of rock carefully by the light of his
cabin candle To his very great aston
ishment It proved to be what miners
call live rock assaying 000 to the toa
For several months Becker and Trim
mer kept their great flud a secret In
tho meantime gathering information
concerning the dip angle and length
and breadth of their new discovered
ledge Within a year from Its discov
ery this mine had made Becker and
Trimmer rich Philadelphia Times
Tbe Sharks Month
N doubt tho sharks mouth Is placed
so much beneath tho projecting muz
ale under which also tho nostrils He
that It may serve Its proper purpose In
tbe best way In all records of tbe
habits of tbe fish we are told that It
can and does bite out large chunks of
flesh from tho dead bodies of whales
and even from living victims of its at
tacks and It la easily seen that If Its
mouth was like that of other fishes the
necessary leverage would be lacking
A further reason seems to be that the
shark by this peculiar position of Its
mouth Is compelled to turn upon Its
back to strike and Is thus able to de
liver lta onset from below with more
deadly effect
This formidable strength of jaw Is
backed up by a most terrible array of
teeth of which in some species there
aro aa many as six rows all around
Each tooth is saw edged and pointed
and some of the largest are as much as
two Inches In breadth at the base
These lie flat against the Jaws and can
be raised by separate muscles at will
so that as the shark darts upon Ita
prey they spring on end as a cats
claws are stuck out from Its pawa
This arrangement will not allow any
thing once bolted to return so that a
sharks mouth la a veritable death trap
