Tho Phantom Ship That Shows
Itself Near the Cape.

The passage through the strait of
t Mnlro Ig not often made. Steamers
ihortei) the route by going through
he strait of .Magellan, wlillo sidling
essels usually prefer to bo entirely on
he safe side by going still farther
louth and rounding the Horn Itself.
Duly undor the most favorable condl
.Ions of weather do thoy slip through
he strait of Lo Moire on tho outward
.rip, going toward tho southwest, but
lever when bound for tho north. For
this reason many old sailors linvo
lever met the ghost ship or tho rock

Those who havo seen It glvo a ipl

usually seen.
Ono of the stories which linvo been
longest remembered Is that of tho III
fated Crown of Italy, which sighted
tho supposed derelict and subsequently
went ashore. The Crown of Italy was
Handing close to the Jagged black
rocks at the entrance to the strait of
t.e Malro when she sighted what
loomed to be a waterlogged bark
Drifting on the rocks of tho strait.
Many other ships rounding the Horn
invo seen a similar apparition, and tho
rnrlous hydrogrophle olllces of the
world havo received many reports to

.he whole thing resolves Itself Into a
onglomeratlon of block rocks. The
Jerpetuol fug of these regions helps,
if course, to befuddle the vision.
The rock looking llko n ship Is by no
ueaiis a rare natural formation. Al
nost opry sailor has seen one In some
ort of the world. In tho Cllpperton

About six or seven miles west of

Range Oetween Liquid Helium
and the Aro Light.
navo you never wondered on some
terribly void winter day, when the
falling temperature had long since
passed the zero mark. If it could pox
slbly bo any colder anywhere, and then,
when summer eoilics and the mercury
Is apparently never going to stop
climbing, you cannot Imagine how any
thing could bo hotter or more uncom
fortable? Fortunately wo live In a world where
the temperature seldom exceeds the
limits of, say, fU) degrees below zeri
Fahrenheit and 110 above. This
seems it tremendous range of tempera
ture, but It Is only trivial compared
with that found on every side In na
ture or In the laboratory. Why. this
1(10 degrees Is less than the ra'uue
through which a dish of cold water N
heated when you place It on the stove
to boll.
A moment's thought of some of these
higher and lower temperatures Is well
worth while. Liquid air at 1112 dc'
gives below zero Is cold, hut liquid
hydrogen nt 4U1 Is still colder, while
liquid helium at -mi below zero Is the
coldest thing wo know of. Going the
other way, lend melts at 0-0 degrees
above zero Fahrenheit, while gold
remains solid up to n bright red heat,
or 1,0 HI degrees. A good furnace tre
mny get several hundred degrees hot
ter than this. Platinum, one of the
most refractory of metals, melts only
when Intensely white hot at a tem
perature of 3.2.10. but even this. Is 100
degrees or so less than the tempera
ture of the Homo on your gas stove,
Tho hotter a body Is the more light
it gives, so toe tungsten lamp tllnment.
which runs at about -1.500 degrees,
gives n brighter and whiter light than
the carbon tllamcnt at '1,500. The elec
tric arc gives still more light for a
given amount of current consumed
and generates n temperature not far
from 7,200 degrees Fahrenheit. This Is
tho highest temperature we cau pro
duce artificially. No metal known con
stand this terrible heat, and even most
refractory substances, such us carbun,
are volatilized by It.
But, while the arc Is Indeed hot. It is
by no menus tho highest tempernturo
to be found In nature. Thoro uro tho
best of reasons for believing that tho
temperature'of the sun Is somo 12.000
degrees or moro, nnd It Is probuble
that somo of tho stars aro still hotter.
This great heat explains tho almost
unbellovoblo fact, found by Langley,
that sunlight Is 5,000 times brighter
than tho dazzling stream of molten
metal from n- Bessemer converter.

Symbolism Didn't Appeal.
''Cjiarlle." sorrowfully hlghed the
young lady In tho parlor of tho concrete
houso on Washington nveiliie, "it N
nearly 12 o'clock."
"Yes, Belinda," was tho brcnfhlng
response of her poetical companion,
I who was stifling on tho sofa beside,
i her, "tho minute hand is drawing
closer and closer to thu hour hand, nnd
when, the tlmo of midnight Is chimed
tho two bonds will bo even ns ono. Oh.
darling Belinda," ho continued ns lie
literally simulated tho action of the
minute hand, "may not thp coming to
gether of those two hnnds bo symbol
ical of us?"
She broko nwny nnd stood firmly on
her feet. "No, Charles Henry Smith,"
hIio retorted nngrily. "those two hands
will remnln as one but n slnglo second,
and then the mlniito bond will divorce
Itself nnd go on Its way nlouo. No,
y.r. Smith, a mlnu.to hand that doesn't
stick Isn't tho kind of symbolism 1

was surrounded, desired -ono of tho
snllors to lash him fast to somo of tho
rigging. Soon after this request was
granted tho storm increased, attended
with thunder and lightning and with
every circunistnnco that could add lo

Knife Duels In Mexico.
A duel between cattlo herders on tho
Mexican plnlns Is about as snvogo and
deadly a maimer of fighting as ono
could possibly lmnglno. Each opponent
oxtends his left arm, and a third party
who has been selected to act as ref
ereo binds their wrists together with n
thong of rawhldo. IIo then places a
knlfo in tho right hand of -00011, and
tho light Is on. Needless fb say, It does
not lost long. Every stab may bo cal
ciliated upon to do damage, and It often
happens that both duelists receive fa
