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.

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.
