some: odd beliefs and
fancies of sailormen
We who have had so much of the
nonsense knocked out of us by living
in great towns are still not wholly
cleared of the ancient fancy that
there is more in the night than dark
ness. The sailor out in the darkness and
solemnity of the great grave place,
with only an inch between him and
what comes after would he not be
callous indeed if he did not think
there was more in the world than
what is .seen?
Yet no sailor is superstitious nowa
days, writes a correspondent in the
London Morning Leader. He would
tell you so himself like Mark
Twain's honest man. He has no ob
jection to sailing, on a Friday; he
thinks it ridiculous to believe that a
Finn can raise a storm. But if you
are with him 'ong enough you will
find that he has a little ritual and
creed of his own which betray him
you will catch him one day propitiat
ing the unknown, though in a manner
ever so small.
Like all folklore, the same sea fan
cies and tales are met with amongst
the most diver-sined peoples. with
but little difference you will find the
same superstition in a Cornish lugger
and a Chinese jurk. When the
ground swell beiins to moan along
the shore the sea varts someone,
say the Danish fisht,rmen. They
think the same in Cornwall, in the
Shetlnnds. and wherever a regular
tribute of lives is paid to the waters.
The idea that the ninth, or. in some
cases, the truth ae, was the death
wave was tho belief of the ancients
when the Atlantic was the Sea of
Darkness. It still survives today in
many widely-separated places.
Whistling for Wind.
Once, when becalmed on a Devon
trawler. 1 remember hearing the skip
per, as he sat with his hand on the
tiller gazing round the ha.y sea, con
tinually whistle for a wind. The
boatmen do the same on the Ganges,
ti.e Greenlanders believe in its effi
ciency, and so do the Swedes, the
Germans, and indeed nearly all the
world's sailors. Whistling is a wind
raiser. Or another good plan is to
scratch the foie or the mizzenmast
with a knife, rolding the handle in
the desired quarter. But only whistle
when there is a calm: to whistle in
a wind may lose you the ship.
It is not surprising to find a belief
in Jonahs common to all. There
must be found in all sea nations a
person occasionally of whom it will
be darkly whispered in the forecastle,
when ill-luck dogs the vessel, "a face
like that would sink any boat."
But it is eerie to find that women,
priests, and lawyers are lumped
broadly as Jonahs by all experienced
sailors.
A Cornish fisherman spoke to a
woman who met him every day. and
wished him goon luck. But he never
had any until he ceased to meet her.
The same fatality in women has
been noticed in Japan among seafar
ing folk. Xo Japanese sailor is
pleased to meet a woman when going
to his fishing boat.
From time immemorial sailors
have seen snakes, krakens. and other
monsters, so we may tale this to be
a sort of habit. These creatures are
still seen, even from steamers. But
the mermaid never. She has gone.

wait about while she combs her hair,
which she always did very leisurely,
Much Remains to Be Learned.
Sir William Ramsey, the great Eng
lish scientist, said: "All our progress
since the time of Sir Isaac Newton
has not falsified the saying of that
great man that we are but child
ren, picking up here and there a peb
ble from the shore of knowledge,
while a whole unknown ocean stretch
es before our eyes. Nothing can be
more certain than that we are just
beginning to learn something of the
wonders of the world in which we
live and move and have our being."

Strange Visits.
In Moore's "Life of Byron" it is re
lated thatCapt. Kidd told Byron that
the ghost of his brother, then in India,
visited him at sea and lay down in his
bunk, leaving it damp with sea water.
Afterwards he found that his brother
was drowned at that exact hour and
night.
This is the old Teutonic belief in
Gongers the ghosts of those drowned
at sea who visit their kindred and an
nounce their own deaths. They always
appear at evening twilight in the
clothes in which they were drowned,
leaving a track of water over the floor
and wet covers on the bed. The West
country wives, when their men at
sea in a storm will not, if they can
help it, open the door to a knock at
night. One never knows what may be
there.
There is a queer story related of a
Canadian schooner, with a lot of things
in it which could be explained, no
doubt, if only we knew everything. One
voyage a man fell from her foremast
and was killed. Shortly afterwards an
other hand fell from the same mast.
' and died. After which there was a
cabin into which none would re enter
(for quite private reasons), having
once been in it. The men would not
go aloft in the foiemast; they said it
was not necessary to have any more
hands up there. There were two al
ready. The ship had luck all the
way in. and the crew left her. Nor
could another be obtained, for the
yarn had gone round the town. Even
tually the mate persuaded a new lot
to ship who had just come off salt
water and were new to the place.
Straddling over the bulwarks, one of
them looked aloft. "Hullo," he said,
"why have jou got a figurehead on
the foretruck?" "It must be Bill."
gasped the mate involuntarily. He
was sorry he spoke. The new lot
tumbled ashore at once. And it is a
fact that yet more accidents hap
pened that voyage, which finished
with the foundering of the schooner.
The Flying Dutchman.
Of all legends of sea-phantoms, Van
derdecken is the best known. His
ship is a double-decker, always to
windward, and is sometimes seen in a
fog during clear weather. She is of
ten under full sail in a gale, and has
been seen sailing under the clouds.
Unusual weather conditions explain
most of her wonders, as, for example,
the well-known fact that under some
circumstances a clear reflection of a
ship may show, while the vessel itself
is hundreds of miles away.
But there is a steamer captain some
where in this world who really has
seen the Flying Dutchman. I was
told by the skipper who sailed the an
tique convict ship Success from Aus
tralia to London, for exhibition, that
when in the seas off South Africa one
bright moonlight night, he spied a
steamer bearing down on them. The
skirper said that even to himself his
boat looked like the ghost of an
ancient wreck, and he wondered what
the steamer's watch would think. He
soon found out. The course of the
steamer was deliberately altered, and
she stood off at a tangent.
Education a Moral Force.
The general fact is apparent that
education is a force restraining vice
and crime. Where it is purely intel
lectual it restains by teaching the
truth expressed in the homely proverb,
"Honesty is the best policy"; where it
rises to the dignity of a Christian
education It teaches not only the re
straint of the intellect, but the higher
restraint of the conscience. In either
case it is a restraining force, a moral
power, over the appetites and passions
of men. Edward D. Mansfield.

POLITICAL EVILS OF WAR.
' Peculation and Dishonesty Invariable
Accompaniments.
The political evils of war are al
most as weighty as the moral, writes
Charles J. Bullock in the Atlantic.
Probably no government in modern
times has been able to carry on a
serious contest that has not been at
tended with extravagance and dis
honesty; at any rate, the United
States has never been able to do so.
From the time that the soldiers suf
fered needlessly at Valley Forge on
account of inefficient supply service
and dishonest contractors, down to
the purchase of army transports and
"embalmed" beef in 1S9S, profusion
and peculation have invariably at
tended our military operations. This
evil, however, usually outlasts a war,
because loose rnd irregular methods
of conducting public business are not
speedily reformed. After the civil
war Washington was still infested by
swindling contractors who found not
a few choice pickings: and the slimy
trail of the corruptionists led up to
the doors of Congress and some of
the executive departments.
When Wampum Was Currency.
A curious old document showing
how shells in the shape of wampum
deteriorated its currency on Manhat
tan island is found among the minutes
of the Court of Burgomasters and
Schepens, of May. 1650. at the meeting
in Fort Amsterdam, New Netherlands.
The account reads: "Whereas, we see
and for some time have seen the de
cline and depreciation of the loose
wampum, among which is found much
unpierced and only half-finished, made
of stone, glass, bone, shells, horn, nay
even of wood and broken; therefore,
we have resolved that henceforth no
loose wampum shall be current unless
strung upon a wire. Trade wampum
shall pass as good pay as heretofore
at the rate of six white or three black
beads for one stiver (2 cents). Done,
iesolvcd and decided this 20th of May,
K.f'0, at our meeting in Fort Amster-'
dam, New Netherlands."
Coincidences in Legislation.
That pure-food bill in the United
States senate has had about as hard a
struggle as had the measures of Wil
berforce in the British house of com
mons for the abolishing of the British
slave trade. Cn Feb. 13, 1S03. Wilber
force moved, "without entering into
any argument." for a bill to abolish
the slave trade after a limited time,
and for a committee to consider its
propriety. He had been introducing
such a bill almost every year for fif
teen years, although his twelve resolu
tions against the traffic were carried
in 1789 without a division. But year
after year the bill came to wreck,
either in the house of lords or the
commons, suffering defeat in 1796 be
cause several of its supporters had
gone to see a new comic opera. It
was doomed to disaster again in 1805,
but finally triumphed in 1807.
Diamond Fields in Canada.
Most of the diamond fields of the
world lie in British territory. People
generally will be surprised, however,
by the declaration of a Canadian ge
ologist that a new and undiscovered
diamond field lies in Canada, some
where between the great lakes and
Hudson bay. Men of science will not
be so much surprised. Diamonds have
been found in Michigan and elsewhere,
in the terminal moraines of vanished
glaciers. Evidently the diamonds were
carried to the spot by the glaciers and
their origin evidently was in a dia
mond field somewhere in the north,
whence they were torn by the Ice
sheets. The theory is perfect; all
that remains to be found is the birth
place of the diamonds.
Disputed Rents Paid to Sultan.
In Turkey the sultan is the supreme
landlord. If a tenant has a dispute
with his immediate landlord, he can
pay his rent to the sultan until the
dispute is settled, and in the mean
while the tenant cannot be put out
of the possession of his house or faiyn.
Owners of the 6oiI in Turkey are.
therefore, always anxious to keep on
good terms with their tenants; for
when rent is paid to the sultan it is a
matter of some difficulty and danger
for the rightful recipients of it to en
force their claim to the money.

Double Lid on Suit Case.
No matter how carefully a trunk is
racked, the thing which is wanted
first from it is always on the bottom.
by some strange decree of fate. In
this case, in order, to secure the de
sired object, it is necessary to turn
the entire contents out on the floor.
With the average man this is a simple
matter, for he would throw the things
back in the same manner, but with a
woman or a more systematic man
this is a harder task. In the most re
cent trunk architecture this has been
provided for by constructing the trunk
of a number of tills. In the more
elaborate designs these tills are
mounted on an arrangement of "lazy
tongs," by which the various traps
are spread out in such a manner that
the contents of any one of them may
be easily reached.
A recent innovation in dress suit
cases solves the -problem by building
it with two lids. If. upon opening it.
it should be discovered that one's
hair brush is on the very bottom, the
lid is closed and the case turned over
and opened from this end, when, pres

Statistics Via Machinery.
The census department of the Unit
ed States has a machine that compiles
statistics, and this machine has been
copied by the census departments of
many governments. The machine re
cords upon specially prepared cards
certain facts, and then tabulates them
mechanically. This device has proved
such a success that it has been adopt
ed by many of the great railway sys
tems for the classification of their
ft eight business and for calculating
and classifying accounts. The cards
are punched with small holes and
they are fed into a pin box. Each
hole is of a different size unless the
classification is the same.
When the cards are fed info the
pin box the automatically governed
pins find their way into the proper
hole and the facts on the cards are
registered and the figures put down
automatically. These cards are fed
it.to the machine at the rate of one to
the second and the machine never
makes an error. If the wrong card is
fed into the machine it stops, refuses
to accept the card, and runs up a lit
tle sign announcing a mistake.
New Telephone Microphone.
The new telephone niie rophone of
M. Schecr of Brussels is to be known
as the "isophone,' and it is claimed to
give a much softer and more accurate
reproduction of the oice. music, etc.,
than the ordinary transmitter. It is es
sentially a hollow disc sounding box
inclosing a simple carbon system.
Combination Vise and Wrench.
Many of the inventions that are
patented relate to tools for all pur
poses and although very few are put
upon the market for sale, they gener
ally conain some attachment or im
provement that would be useful for
the purposes designed. Combinations
of tools that can be used by practi
cally everybody seem to claim the
attention of the inventors and the re-
suit is that we have combinations of
all kinds and for all purposes.
In the illustration will be found an
article of this kind, a combination and
convertible wrench and vise.
The details of construction are such
that the wrench, which is of the ad
justable jaw type, can be converted
tiuickly into a vise, either tor manu
al use or as a fixture upon a support
and also permit the exchange of parts
of the implement to again convert it
into a sliding jaw wrench, as occasion
may require.

Boy's Valuable Discovery.
Van Erpecum. a boy student in the
high school at Batavia. Java, has dis
covered a new law of physics. He no
ticed that when a glass is filled to the
brim with water and floating ice there
is no overflow on the melting of the
ice, and two years ago he called the
attention of his principal. Dr. C. M.
Van Deventer, to the fact. Other
physicists were notified, who brought
the matter before the Royal Academy
of Amsterdam. It has now been shown
that the water neither rises nor sinks.
and the proposed "law of the perma
nent level" teaches that "when a ves
sel contains a solid floating in its own
liquid, the level of the latter does
not change by the melting of the
solid."
Phone Records Messages.
Perhaps one of the strangest de
vices turned out within the last year

market. This device consists of a
combination of the ordinary telephone
and the phonograph.

Before a single flower seed Is sown
we are going to take pains to see that
the .soil is in gcod and proper condi
tion. It must be rich, deep and finely
powdered, without a lump in it. It
must not be wet and sticky. If it is.
we had better wait a day or two so
that it may dry out a bit.
When the tinn comes we are going
to take the seeds in order: but with
the understanding that there are to
be two sowings in any event, sinco
some of the seeds from tropical
countries will rot in the ground if it
is too cold for them.
When we are quite cure that the
weather is pretty well settled and the
ground is beginning to get warm, wo
shall take for our first sowing the
seeds of alyssum. calliopsis. candytuft.
Chinese pink, coreopsis, delphinium,
larkspur, mignonette, pansy, phlox,
sweet William and verbena.
In ten days or so you may plant all
kinds of aster, and cosmos, hyacinth
beans. Japan morning glory, marigold,
nasturtium, petunia, salvia, sulpiglos
sis. scabiosa, ten-week stocks and
zinnia.
Packet Also Gives History.
Every packet of seed tells the
height of the plant, when it begins to
flower. Study this well, and sow the
dwarf kinds in front, the medium
kinds behind and the taller kinds at
the back, or where it is desired to pro
duce the tallest effects.
Care must be taken not to sow tho
finer seeds too deep, and this is partic
ularly true of such seeds as those of
alyssum. petunia, poppy, salvia, sal
piglossis, ten-week stocks and tobac
co. The ground for these seeds must bo
unusually fine and smooth; the seeds
should be sown evenly, thinly covered
with soil, pressed down firmly with a
smooth piece of board, and slightly
sprinkled, either with a watering can
having a fine rose, or vith a whisk
broom from a bucket.
Excepting sweet peas, almost all the
other seeds need to he covered with
from a quarter to half an i ch of soil.
Sowing Sweet Peas.
Sweet peas should bo sown in a
trench about three inches deep. In
which the seeds are to be placed one
and cne-half inches apart. Hyacinth
beans and nasturtiums should be
planted an inch deep.
Be sure to press everything down
solidly, either with a board or the
foot. Thin boards will make the best
possible shade for the finer seeds, tc
be laid over the spot while the sun
is up and taken off at night until the
joitng plants appear.
As soon as the plants are largo
enough to handle, if tney seem to
be too thick, they may be thinned out.
The thinnings can be transplanted
and saved. This is best done in the
evening, the plants watered, and shad
ed from the sun for a day or two,
though this last is sometimes dis
pensed with.
It is probable that by this time the
gai doners enemies will appear in the
form of insects and other ills. A sep
