Tillamook SHIPS AS THEY SINK. Hfadliglit, November 1 7. 1912 .1 FEASANTS OF RUSSIA. : I $ I » I Their Trip to the Bottom and What Happons Afterward. Vtoy Can’t Road and Hava to 8» Aidad Wiut becomes of tbe ship that sinks In midocesn'r If II is of wood it takes, tn ibi first place, considerable time for it to reach the bottom In a buudred or more fathoms of water a quarter of an bou. will elapse before tbe ship reaches bottom. It oinks slowly, and whc> tbe bottom la reached It falls gently Into tbe soft, oozy bed. with no crash or breaking. Of course If It la laden with pig Iron or corresponding substances or If tt Is an Iron ship It sinks rapidly and some times strikes the bottom with such force as to amasb tn pieces. Once sunken a ship becomes tbe prey of tbe countieu Inhabitants of the ocean. They swarm over and through tbe great boat and make it their borne. Besides this they cover every inch of the boat with a thick layer of lime. Thia takes time, of course, and when one k '•«• atlon dies another continues the wur* until finally tbe ship is so ladeu with heavy incrustations, corals, sponges and barnacles that if wood the <-r--(klng timbers fail apart and d<>wil lint surely are absorbed in the ■ rhe sea bottom - easels are demolished more it ink k(j than those of wood, which may last for centuries. Tbe only met I als that withstand the chemical action . of tbt waves are gold and platinum, i and g*asa also seems unaffected. No j matter how long gold may be blddeu In lire ocean, it will always be gold I when recovered, and this fact explains I the many romantic and adventurous hsaom after bidden submarine treas I ures lout In shipwrecks. All Russiau abups bave signs Indicat ing tbe business carried on within them Most of them have painting» describing tbe articles sold. For ex ample. outside tbe fishmonger's 1» a large picture of fish; outside tbe butch er’s. of meat; outside tbe poulterer* of chicken and game; outside the tea shop, of teapots, glasses and saucers Houses sre painted red. green, yel low, blue, so tbat the peasant» may easily differentiate them or explain the way. Trains are Bent off by bells st the station because tbe peasants cannot read tbe time tables. Tbe first bell, one cbime, is a quarter of an hour before tbe train starts; tbe second, two chimes. Is five minutes before, and tbe third, three chimes, means tbe train Is EARLY COLONIAL HOUSES. Some Had Inner Stone Welle to Resist the Indian Raiders. in Amerlcu tbe early colonists had little use for tbe mason's art, except in tbe construction of tbe huge chimney ■tacks which In any dwelling of con siderable size and any pretensions to comfort formed a very considerable part of tbe structure. The great kitch en fireplace and oven, with smaller hearths In from two to four rooms on each floor, required a very considera ble part of tbe material and skilled labor bestowed upon a colonial home stead In the more northern colonies. In some sections where tbe dangers of an attack by Indian raiders were Imminent, tbe wooden walls of the lower story Inclosed a stout wall of brick or a kind of rubble masonry. Rome of these buildings are still stand ing and Inhabited, although dating back (at least so far as tbe lower stories are concerned) over two cen turies. A very few brick buildings have wholly or In part come down to us from tbe first years of colonization, and until within tbs last half century some that preserved tbe peculiar fea tures of Elizabethan and Stuart types of dwelling and business structures Much of tbe brick and about all tbe great flooring tiles and ornamental tiling were at first Imported from Eu rope. but lime and brick of good qual ity were soon produced In almost every community.—Charles Winslow Hall in National Magazine. ,r Lev» Will Find a Way. The young couple hastened into the union station. It waa very patent that they were not married. They were alto- g.'iuer too chummy for that They went out onto the platform and stood and talked for a minute, when he took her In his arms and kissed her fondly and agnln hurried «way toward a train. “IVhat do you think of that?" In quired one of tbe attaches of the sta tion "That looks nil right Why?” "They do that three or four times a week They thluk that everybody else w ' i think that lie Is golug away on a ; -uruey. but he has never got on a truth yet He simply walks around back of the train aud disappears. He gets bls kiss all right, though.”—Louis ville l'lmes. y ■ Minuteness of an Atom. J4 Kir Oliver I-odge once gave a striking Illustration of tbe minuteness of tbe ■ tom Tbe amount of gold In sea water, although very small, seems con siderable when stated In atoms, for a single drop of sea water contains BO,- ( mw . iioo atoms of gold. That figure, however. Indicates merely one-fiftieth •t a grain tn a ton of sea water, and n would take 100.000,000 atoms to be vtolble under a mlcroecope of the high cm power. j A Bad Spill.

Some of Them Are as Quaint as Th»ir Orrgina Ar» Queer. Many explanations have been gl ven The of curious signboards for inns. ! Goat aud Compasses Is supposed to be a corruption of n motto set over Inns during the Puritan period, "Good en compasses ns;" Bag of Nalls of "Bac chanals." Why Not and Dewdrop Inn are described as Invitations to tbe wayfarer: Bird In Hand and Last House, or Final, suggestions that be should not waste his opportunities to Imbibe. The Bull and Mouth Is said to be a corruption of Boulogne Mouth, captur. e<l by Henry VIII. Bull and Gate, It Is suggested, may possible be a similar vulgarism for Boulogne Gate. Great battles fought and fortresses taken are commemorated by Gibraltar. Waterloo, Battle of the Nile, and Tra falgar Admirals range from Blake to Napier, generals from Marlborough to Wolesley, Wellington, Nelson and Kep pel being the most common. It Is surprising how many of tbe Nel son Inns are buildings three or four centuries old. "»bowing tbat the Inn keeper was prepared to sacrifice the sign under w bleb he had hitherto done business and trusted to make a new reputation under tbe aegis of the popu lar hero.”-Westminster Gazette. Onion Soup and Fame. Membership In the French academy, the hoped for reward of Gallic writers, waa once closely associated with onion soup During the restoration In France a club was formed under the title of “Diner de la Soup a I'Onlon “ Thia or ganisatlon contained twenty members It met every three months, when the dinner waa o|ieued with an onion soup The club was to endure until every as soclate was elected to tbe academy This waa accomplished In 1845, when tbe laat banquet was bold. “Capa." aMld Jacky, “would you like to have tn» give you a birthday pres •otr “Yro.
