'Secty, Gaierj, it Backs . A F IS BIL SHIPS OF THE ANCIENTS. Facts iMt Oli-TlmB Vessels, in cluaing the Art BOATS OF HDIEHSE T0NHAGE. Soma Mighly Graft Builded by Egyptians The Modern Ship i Pat to Blnsli. the We mdderns are justly proud of the wonderful and magnificent specimen? of naval architecture that crowd the great ports of tho world. If there is anything new tinder the sun, a first class ocean steamer, it is believed, is that rarity. In our conceit we recall only the galleys and triremes of the ancients that scarce ever ventured beyond the coast line, aud the small barks in which Columbus and those who followed him conquered a new world and gave commerce its greatest field. But the ancients built many goodly sized crafts and made luxury a study on some of them. That much controverted craft, the ark, is an example of bigness. Her tonnage is estimated at about fifteen thousand tons, smaller it is true than that of the Great Eastern. No less an authority than Lindsay thinks that she was simply a raft of stupendous size, having upon it a strnclure resem bling a huge warehouse. As no means of propulsion wero necessary this description may be correct. The cargo however, was unique and prob ably the most valuable one ever car ried. The tctcription of the ark as given in tho Scriptures, makes the vessel about -150 feet in length, 75 feet in breadth and 45 feet in depth, pro portions similar to those now in use for great vessels. But'as the agnostic is not sure that this lifeboat of the human race over existed, and as the materialist is sure she never was built, let us take for ex ample of big ancient vessels some other craft vouched Tor upon the au thority of profane and not sacred writers. The Egyptians, fond of large things aud big dimensions, made the big tonnage vessels of ancient times. Ptolemy (Philopator) would have ap preciated tho Great Eastern. Ho was fond of building big boats. One of these is said to have been 420 feet long, 57 feet broad and 72 feet deep from tho highest point of the stern. Ths vessel had four ruDders, or what some would call steering oars, as they wero not fastened, each 45 feet long. She carried 4,000 rowers, besides 3,000 marines, a large body of servants un der her decks, and stores and provis ions. Her oars were 57 feet long, and the handles were weighted with lead. There were 2.C00 rowers on a side, and it is supposed that these were di vided into five banks. That this ex traordinary vessel ever put to sea is donbted, but that she wn3 launched and used at times, if only for display, several historians arc agreed. Another "ship," the Thalamegus, built for one of the Ptolemies, is said to have been 300 feet long, 40 feet broad and 60 feet deep. This was afar more magnificent vessel than any previous one. An Alexandrian his torian, Catlixenus, in describing her, speaks of her having colonnades, marble stairs and gardens. Another great vessel, historical by reason of its size, i3 one built by Hiero.Eong of Syracuse. Her dimen sions are estimated to be large from the description of her cargo and the number of her decks and houses. She is supposed to have been sheathed with lead, and accomplished at least one successful voyage. A full de scription of her would read somewhat like that of ono of our Long Island sound or Hudson river steamboats. She had three entrances, the lowest lea ling to the hold, the second to the eating rooms and- third appropriated to the soldiers. There were thirty rooms, eacn navmg four couches, for the soldiers; there were fifteen conches in the sailors' supper room, and there were three more cabins, each having three couches. Tho floors of all these rooms were laid in stone mosaic work. There was also a temple of cypress inlaid with ivory and ded icated to Yenus. The mainmast was composed of a single tree, and tho ves sel carried four wooden and eight iron anchors. As a freight carrier she would rival tho largest of ocean tramps. It is recorded that ono or two of the launches belonging to her would carry about eighty tons. This vessel is said to have earned "sixty thousand measures o" corn, ten "thou sand jars of Sicilian salt fish, twenty thousand talents' weight of wool, and of other cargo twenty thousand talents, all of which was in addition to the provision required for tho crew." These are tho notably big vessels of ancient times, but the supposition is that as rulers, whether long or peo ple, were as emulous ih those days as these, other big craft were also built. From the foregoing description the thought is suggested that the first de signers of our own river steamboats may have heard of the Egyptian and Syracusan vessels and taken a hint from them in building floating palaces.

This is how the late John, Buszits, the millionaire fur dealer, got mar ried. While abroad on a business trip he visited" a friend in Sweden. While in this friend's houM he Jue&rd some one in the next room playing on a piano. The pianist was a young lady from Bremen, who was visiting there. Turning to his friend, Mr. Buszits said: "KIshould ever marry I would like to marry a woman like that" The gentleman went to the door and called the young lady in. "What do you think Mr. Buszits just saidf ho inquired. Of course the lady did'nt know. Mr. Buszits struck in and said "Well, I'm not afraid to repeat it," and he proceeded to do so. The lady looked at him thoughtfully for a moment or two, and. then, said: "Well, I will accept," and" they were married. FINDING A LOST CITY. Discovered at the Bottom of the Adriatic Sea. The city authorities at Bovigno, on the peninsula of Istria, on the Adriatic sea, have discovered, a little south of the peninsula, the ruins of a large town at the bottom of the sea. It has been observed for some years that fishermen's nets were Sometimes en tangled in whatappeared to be masses of masonry, of which fraginonts were brought up from the sea bed. A vear or two later a diver declared that he had seen walls and streets below the water. The city authorities recently de cided to investigate. They sent down a diver, who, at the depth of eighty five feet, found himself surrounded on the bottom.of the sea by ruined walls. Ho said ho knows they are the work of man. He is a builder by txado and recognized tho layers of mortar. Continuing his explorations, he traced the line of walls and was able to distinguish how the streets were laid out. He did not see any doors or window openings, for they were hid den by massed seaweed and incrusta tions. He traced the masonry for a distance of 100 feet, when he had to stop; his diving cord did not permit him to go further. He had proved beyond a doubt that ho had found the ruin of a once inhabited town, which, through catastrophe, had been sunk to the bottom of the sea. Some people think they identify this lost town with the island men tined by Pliny tho Elder, under the name of Cissa, near Istria. This island cannot bejound now, and it is thought the submerged tqwn may have been a settlement on tho island that so mysteriously disappeared. New York Sun. The Dos Dlda't Care to "Walk. This story is told of one of the in telligent dogs of Auburn, Me. Mr. W. H. O. Allen lives at the north end of Goff street in that city, while his store is on Lisbon street, Lewiston. The dog very of ten accompanied him to and from the store. He was at the storo Friday afternoon, when, becom ing tired of staying there, the order was given to go home. The dog started out, going up Lisbon street to Main, and down Main across the two bridges into Auburn. At the postoffice, however, he was seen to stand on the corner as though waiting sor something. A few minutes later a horse car came along, and the dog ran out and boarded it and rode home, jumping off when the car came op posite his master's house. Augusta Journal.

Everyone knows that the dresses Bernhardt wears in her "Cleopatra" are not dresses at all, but strips of material wound around her little body and fastened with jewels. But there is as much individuality to each ar rangement as to the confection of a French modiste. The first costume which the divine Sai a wears and which has no shape save that which her body Jends it, is of sky blue, with a girdle of precious stones and a sacred serpent surrounding the coiffure made of gold and jewels. The next is a band of crepe de chine enveloping the body in pale rose color, with coiffure of wild passion robes and a golden serpent for a girdle, its head fashioned of a single emerald, its eyes of. rubies. There is a wondprful costume of yel low stuff embroidered with gold and worn with a violet girdle. The feet are bare and the toes blaze with jeweled rings like the amorous queen's slender fingers. And thero is a purely Grecian cos tume, richly embroidered, and last of all the magnificent golden Egyptian dress, embroidered all over with gold, and completed by a marvelous Egyp tian head-dress, gleaming with count less precious stones of all colors. The jeweled girdles are all that will save Sara from encountering the full jneasure of the law at the hands of the spleeny Comstock. Tho snakes are rather more troublesome than Mme. Bernhardt anticipated, but two of them are becoming very docile. Tho tragedienne declares that the sensation of cold which contact with them produces, is indescribably charming and her greatest fear was lest they find it dull. She had tried to have them amuse themselves look ing out on the boulevard, but they were not Parisian enough to amuse themselves in that way. Different Indians. Very different are tho Sioux from the- Indians on the Klamath reserva tion. The wild and lazy "Soo" loafs all spring, summer and fall on the largest and finest reservation in the United States, and in the winter he is a hun gry Indian. Tho Klamath Indian, also lives on a rich and? beautiful reserve, but in the spring, summer and fall he works at farming and stock raising, and in the winter he has enough and to spare. The Sioux have sent the cry of hunger to the "Father" at Washington thus early in the winter, while the Klamath Indians sit by their cheerful pine blaze and laugh at the storm that whistles around their well-provided dwellings and comfortable barns. Tho Klamath Indians are workers, tho Sioux are loafers. Star. If she is not taking so well as she used to with tho London public, Mra.

CONQUERED AT LAST. Confederate Killed by a Pair of Yankee Breeches. S. C. Bowen, of Nashville, Tenn., says: The true story of the death of General Ewell is known only to a few. As a young man he was quite a dandy, and continued to pay a great deal of attention to his dress until August, 1862, when he lost a-leg at the battle of Groveton., He recovered m a tew montns ana Jea iiis troops until the close of the "war, but with tho loss of his leg he also seemed to lose all interest in his. personal ap pearance, and after he went back to his farm in Tennessee was in the habit of wearing the most dreadful old. garments imaginable, saying that it made no difference how a one legged man looked. A year or two af ter the close of the war there was a sale of quartermaster's stores, and General Ewell bought a quantity of mmiary trousers ior wnicn tnere was no longer any use. He issued them to his workmen, and at last took up the habit of wear ing a pair about his farm. They wero shoddy goods, very thin and flimsy, and on a damp day in the winter Ewell took a cold, which developed into pneumonia, and from which he never recovered. A day or two before his death, when he knew there wa3 no hope, he said to a friend: "Tho enemy has killed me at last. I was in many battles, was severely hit more than once, and on more than one occasion I thought I was as good as dead. When the war olosed it seemed to me that I had nothing more to fear, but I was mistaken, for here I am at last dying of a pair of Yankee breeches." St. Louis Globe-Dejnocrat. Great-Liver Medicine.
