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

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.

The young couple hastened into the

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

He simply walks around

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.
