CARGOES THAT SAILORS FEAR Either Sugar, Coffee, or Cotton Are Considered Far More Dangerous - Than Dynamite. , . At first thought It would seem that dynamite was a cargo to be carefully avoided, but from a sailor's point of view there are . far more dangerous cargoes. ..He dreads, for Instance,, a cargo of sugar. Put hundreds of tons of cane sugar In casks in the hold of a vessel and let the ship-' steam through a spell of hot weather, The odor Is sickening. The sailors cannot get the sweet taste out of their mouths, and crave vinegar or lemon juice anything sour. They lose their appetites and are always glad when a voyage on which the" cargo was sugar is. over. Coffee Is as disagree able as sugar, in addition to being very dangerous. - Cotton Is a really dangerous cargo. ii a ntue on happens to toucb raw cotton the result Is spontaneous com bustion. A single bale of cotton sat urated with such an oil as boiled Un seed and lying at the bottom of the hold can be compared only to a slow match attached to a bomb. Acids ' nhd other chemicals form dangerous cargoes. Carbide of cal cium, for example, Is more dangerous than dynamite. Acetylene s gas a i made from this chemical, and ..the gas Is constantly given . off If the product Is exposed to air. Gerking Flat George Gerking and wife spent Friday in Freewater. L. M.

The naturalists say. frankly, "We do not know." It Is thought that these eye-spots may have some utilitarian application. They form one of the most Intricate of all nat ural designs. .The fact that butter- flics have been captured with their eye-spots pierced, as if from the at tack of birds, has been used as an argument In favor of the view that they must be "protective markings," Imitating eyes because birds strike at the eyes of their victims. But this suggestion Is hardly regarded as satis factory.. Among butterflies the most striking examples of eye-spots are found on the ' under surface f the 'ylngm, -.- ,. .. .... . .
