A Shin on Fire,

Here ON the Red Sea, for the first
time in my scvcnty-livc days and
nights OF sea yoyaging. | have taste
of what lire on Shipboard implies.
One hot, brcathlCSs day the chief OIL
Ger is having Il large kettle of resinous
liquid boiled, up forward on deck
stove. for application to certain parts
of the ship. 1t is left alone for NOM
cnt, boils over into the fire, and in n
moment more the whole mass is ablazc.
The liquid flows over the deck, and al
most before we can take the fact in.
great sheets Of flame are lcaping half
way up 10 the squmc-sailS. Thcalarm
is sounded, the sailors rush to the sand
barrels, and by the time each man has
thrown n painful of sand upon the
deck there is nothing left burning but
the kettle, Over this courageous
fellow throws a piece of sail-cloth, ard
two other men lift it to the deck. Ir
the meantime the captain has ordered
the donkey engine to work. and there
is an immense stream ready TO play
upon the deck, were such measure
necessary.
! confess that my heart is humping
away wildly, but none of the officers
or men seem any more concerned than
if such Il scene were of daily occur
renee on shipboard.
A few men have been wounded or
burned in the operation, while some
Others have lost Part of their clothing
| suppose no more dangerous form of
the fire could break out, and yet it is
handled with perfect ease and does not
create aripplc of excitement. Ia three
minutes it has ceased TO be subject of
comment
This ship has the first odomctcr in
plain sight that have seen. 1t is an
instrument for measuring the distance
travelled by the boat, affixed to the
gunwalc of poop. A long rope, with
u small propeller attached, trails be-
hind in the water and causes the clock
work TO operate. The length of the
rope has TO be altered to correspond
with the speed, or else the officers
have TO make IN allowance in their
calculations to meet the Discrepancy.
The odometcr is great improvement
on the old log system. -- Cor. NcW Or

any case of catarrh they cannot cure,
yet notwithstanding that thousands
use tho Remedy they are seldom called
upon to pay the reward, and when,they
have been so called upon they have
universally found that the failure to

The Death Rate Among Negroes.

The death rate among the negroes
in southern cities is hardly short of ap-
palling. A comparison of the statis-
ties in regard to mortality during the
month of May shows that in Washing
ton the annual death rate among
whites was but 1913 per 1000, while
among the blacks it was 273; in Char
lesion the figures were respectively
1871 and 1913; in Atlanta, 10 and 40.l;
and in Richmond, 1917 and 50.3. If the
death rate among the blacks in the ru-
raj districts reached anything like such
proportions as these, the race would
appear doomed, but the last census
showed that there is no reason to sup
pose that the mortality among them
throughout the south generally is
alarming. They die of in droves in
the cities because they are there hud-
died together in close quarters, where
they fail an easy prey to idleness and
vice, as well as disease. -- Brooklyn

William Mason, who has Just been
sentenced by an English court to ten
years penal servitudc, has earned the
title of the Prince of Coiners. He was
shrewd and sagacious enough to take
a new departure from the common
style of counterfeiting coined money.
He issued only half crowns, made
well-worn ones with dates of fifty
years back, and passed them by the
hatful without suspicion. That Is, for
n long while. But, differing from
some of our own, the primary business
of English detectives is to detect. The

tectcd. And for his old-fashioned
