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

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.

dropped It and began straining at his
