TILLAMOOK FAIRIES IN IRELAND. Simple Acts That Are Too Difficult For gimisne to Loam. A Boatman’s Story of the Antics •* the Little People. Where the Fore and After Beata th« Square Rigger. Here la a modern fairy story from Ireland: “One day about tweuty years ago," writes a correspondent. “I was fishing from a boat on Lough Derg. I Inquired of my lioatmen if they bad ever seen fairies. At first, fearing to be laughed at, they scouted the idea, but one of them told the following: “On a Sunday he was returning after mass and stood with a friend named Sullivan on the bridge of Killaloe. Looking toward a potato field on the elope of the rising ground to the east of the town, a field which he was able to point out from the boat, he saw Issuing from the Uss a troop of ’little people,’ one being distinctly taller than the rest. At first they seemed rather blurred, then took distinct shapes and began to play the national game of hurley among the bare potato rigs. He called Sullivan’s attention to them, but for some time his friend could not see them, then said he could, and they watched the game together for a time. Then the sun went In. and the fairies, moving toward the liss, as If return ing to It, vanished. Lisses are rough places, sometimes hillocks, sometimes depressions, often bushy, but never cultivated. I have been told they are left as doorways for the fairies when visiting the earth’s surface.”—Chicago News. The ability of the schooner to mee< the requirements of preBent day con ditlons, while the square riggers have been found wanting, can be readily understood when we take Into consid eration the numerous advantages pos sessed by the fore and aft rig that are essential to the ideal carrier. Operating expense, that prime factoi In all transportation problems, Is here reduced to a minimum, for there Is nc motive power so cheap as the free winds of heaven and no other craft so well adapted to utilize and control this force. The sails are of bandy form and can be readily handled from the deck by a handful of men or with steam power if desired. The schoonei can sail several points nearer the eye of the wind than a square rigger Is able to do. Built on the old clipper model, they sail like witches and owing to their peculiar constructions can be readily loaded and discharged. They require but little ballast and having no heavy top hamper can, if necessary to the trade, take on immense deck loads In the lumber traffic of the Pacific northwest we find these vessels leav ing port with bu,^ deck loads tower ing ten to fifteen feet above the rail. Occasionally they get caught in a blow and have to sacrifice a portion of the deck load, but where one meets such a mishap dozens reach their deslgna tions safely and land their cargoes In tact.—James G. McCurdy In Outing Magazine. THE BLACK SEA. Its Waters So Badly Poisoned That Life Is Practically Impossible. Few persons, probably, other than those engaged In the pursuit of sci ence. are aware that the Rlack sea presents an Interest of Its own to the zoologist and the geologist shared by no other part of the ocean at the pres ent day. Throughout the greater part^of the oc“an the bottom Is the dwelling place of a number of creatures whose busi ness It is to consume the bodies of the members of the surface fauna which after death sink to the bottom. In the Black sea. however, says the Field, ow ing to special geological events, such scavengers are totally wanting over the greater part of the bottom, so that the carcasses of the creatures which fall from above are left to decompose, which they speedily do at the com paratively high temperature of the water. Ry their decomposition two soluble compounds, carbonate of ammonia and sulphurated hydrogen, are developed tn enormous quantities, while no free lime, except such as Is Introduced from the Mediterranean. Is left. The vol ume of sulpbureted hydrogen Is so great as to poison the water from the greatest depth (1.227 fathoms) to within about a hundred fathoms of the surface to such a degree that life, ex cept for a few bacteria, Is absolutely Impossible. The circumstance has a double Inter est-first, that It Is absolutely unique st the ptesent day. and. secondly, that it seems to offer an almost exact paral lel to the state of affairs that existed at the Inconceivably remote epoch wbeu the oldest known sedimentary rocks were laid down as mud on the ancient sea bottom. ------------------------ I Pat Was Surprised.

It would be a very simple matter for a fourteen months old child to learn to pull In. by means of a very light toy wooden rake, an object which it could not reach with its bands, and yet Jimmie, a very tame Rhesus monkey of mine, writes John B. Watson In The World Today, spent many days in trying to learn this simple act and had not learned to manipulate the rake when our patience ran out. Jimmie was kept moderately hungry at the time of the experiments; he was teth ered Just out of reach of some very tempting food (malaga grapes). A light top wooden rake was given him. In stinctively he grasped it, bit it. then dropped It and began straining at his tether and reaching out as far as possl ble with his foreleg, making vain ef forts to scratch In hfs food. The rake was then put around one of the grapes, and the handle extended toward Jim mie. Instantly he grasped the handle as before and Jerked It, and the grape rolled within reach of his paw. The rake was dropped and forgotten and the faithful paw utilized for the com pletion of the act. Now what happens when the grape has been eaten? The rake Is still with in his reach, and the grapes are still outside the pale. Does he perceive the relationship existing between “food out of reach, rake will lengthen paw, ergo, use rake?” Not Jimmie. And he Is the brightest of six. As long as you will kindly hook the blade of the rake around the grape and extend ttye ban- die toward him be will condescend to pull in the rake and consequently the grape, but he has never yet both pushed out and then pulled in the rake of his own Initiative. ) ¡f HEADLIGHT.
