A Mate Tells How the Vessel He Sailed ID
Escaped Destruction.

Mate Tells How the Vessel He Sailed ID
Escaped Destruction.
While . British brig was gliding
smoothly along before good breeze in
the South Pacific, some months ago, .
flock of small birds about the size, shape
and color of parokeets settled down in
the rigging and passed an hour or more
resting. The second mate was so anx-
ious to find out the species to which the
visiting strangers belonged that he tried
to entrap specimen, but the birds were
too shy to be thus caught, and too spry
to be seized by the quick hands OF the
sailors. At the end of about an hour
the birds took the briggs course, and dis
appeared. but toward nightfall they
came back and passed the night in the
maintop. The next morning the birds
flew off again, and when they returned
at noon, the sailors scattered some food
about the decks. By this time she birds
had become so tame that they hoped
about the decks picking up the crumbs.
That afternoon an astonishing thing
happened. The flock came flying swiftly
toward the brig. Every bird seemed to
be piping rs if pursued by some little
invisible enemy on wings, and they at
once huddled down behind deck-house.
The superstitious sailors ut once called
the Captain of the brig, who rubbed his
eyes and looked at the barometer. A
glance showed him that something was
wrong with the elements. and the brig
was put in shape to outride storm.
The storm came about twenty minutes
after the birds had reached the vessel.
For few moments the sky was like the
waterless bottom of lake-a vast arch
of yellowish midland torrents of rain
fell. Why it did not blow very hard, no
one knows; but on reaching port, two
days later. the Captain learned that
great tornado had swept across that part
of the sea. The birds left the vessel on
the morning after the storm, and were
not seen again. MY idea is" said the
second mate. in telling of hecurious in
cident afterward-..my notion about it
is that if the birds hadn't been aboard,
We should have been blown away like
a feather. The birds protected US. sir
that's what's the matter" And the SUI
perstitious seaman was honest in his be-
lief, for he barred his arm and showed
where he had caused Il pictura of one of
the birds to be tattooed into the surface
in blue and red.-Golden Days.

REARING.

factory. The reasons for her great speed
are several. There is little or no friction
A yacht weighing eight hundred pounds
has been towed on smooth ice, without
wind, by two thicknesses of common white
wrapping-twine. In the greatest velocity
the heat is at once absorbed by the ice, and
no more friction is caused in running one
hundred than in running ten mites per hour.
She makes no leeway, and thus loses no
sail-push. She meets the most resistance
in air friction or in the force OF the wind
against her in beating to windward. Her
great speed changes the effective direction
Of the wind. If the wind caWe twenty miles
per hour from the south and she sailed
twenty miles per hour to the east the APP
parent source of the wind power would be
from the southeast. She can not sail with
the wind without running ahead of it dur.
ing the lulls, losing the force of the wind be-
hind and being kept back by what is prac-
tically an adverse wind. She can not 60
any faster than the wind on this course,
which is her worst one. A beam wind is
better for ingoing at right angles with the
wind, as she loses none OF it's force by her
own speed. She cuts across it, but does not
run away from it. There is some air fric-
ton here, however. She will make the best
speed on the course where there is the least
air friction, and receives the strongest push
in a forward direction. This course is the
one about as shown In the accompanying

FRYING FOOD.

Why Perfect Frying Can BE Considered
the Perfection OF Cooking.
Grease of every description is capable
of being heated to a very much higher
temperature than water; in fact, it can
be made almost three times as hot as
boiling water. When fat is at its boil.
ing point it is so hot that any article Of
food brought in contact with it il
actually burned. and this is precisely
the reason why, for purposes of frying
fat should always be boiling hot. Fol
any article of food, a doughnut. for
example, dipped into boiling fat, ID
Immediately covered all over by thin
crust of burned dough, which prevents
the fat from penetrating further in and
enables the rest of the doughnut to be
exposed to greater degree of heat
than can be applied to it by any other
process. without coming in contact
with the fat, and the natural chemical
processes go on inside with greater
degree of perfection than can
be obtained by any other method.
Perfect frying is the perfection OF
cooking, but so soon as the fat is not
sufficiently hot to create the burned
crusts around the article fried, the fat
penetrates. it and absolutely prevents
cooking from taking place at all. Il
the fat is not boiling, bubbling hot, the
process that takes place is not cooking,
but simply drenching the food with
tepid fat and rendering it totally indi.
gestible. 1t makes no difference how
hot the fat is afterward, the mischief ID
done the moment the fat penetrates tbs
inside.
All perfectly fried food has thin,
crisp, brown outside crust (Which has
in itself relishing taste) and is per.
fectly free from the suspicion of fat in.
side, except what was intentionally put
there by the cook. All housekeeperi
know that to fry well their fat should
be hot. But they do not attend to it az
scrupulously as they would if they un.
derstood the true philosophy of it.
Boiling, bubbling fat can not penetrate
anything, and cooks to perfection:
tepid fat penetrates everywhere and
does not cook at all, but actually pre-
vents cooking. Any housekeeper who
reads this and chooses to profit by it.
need never put any greasy, fried, half
cooked and indigestible food upon hel
table The whole secret consists il
having the fat boiling hot before ths
things are put in.-HonsekeepeT.

4 COMFORTABLE SAIL.

is q fund OF wholesome sport, especially in
the latter, and a source of enjoyment be-
yond the ken of the person to whom the
idea OF amusement is realized in an evening
at theater or bout at penny ante under
the lea of some glowing base-burner.
Ice yachting is what may be termed safe
sport. With proper precautions it is safe
enough, but the faint flavor of danger, the
overcoming suggestions of disastrous
possibilities, adds to it's attractiveness and
lends a charm width removes the drawback
OF tameness. Accidents were common
enough in the early days of yachting, ow-
ing to imperfections OF construction and in
experience, to satisfy the most sanguinary,
but a decent regard for safety of life, limb
and property has changed this and the
sport is as safe as the nature of it will per-
init. Experienced yachtsmen need not hest
tate to take their families along under rea-
sonable conditions of wind and ice. The
chief drawback to the many would-be
yachtsmen is the lack of a stretch of ice
which can be relied on each month. Abso-
lutte smoothness of ice, such as skaters need,
is not necessary, though desirable. The
presence OF distractions, while preventing
great speed, frequently makes the sport all
the more interesting by bringing into play
all the nautical skill q yachtsman may
have. Going over rough ice and cracks re-
quires the exercise OF GOODNESS, promptness
and skill. The yacht must be brought up
so as to spill the wind and relieve the strain
and then headed so that the runners will
not get caught in the cracks something
which usually causes the rigging to all 60
by the board if not securely stayed, but
more frequently results in wrenching off the
skate.
In sensations and effect ice yachting is
the nearest approach to flying that has
been invented. Ballooning has been
ikened to flying, but it is only by those on
the ground that the likeness is appreciated,
for in balloon sense of motion is lost. It
is the acme of egotism. To the balloonist
his gas ball is stationary, while the earth
drops away from him. In ice boating the
sense of motion is ever present, sometimes
painfully so; as when one Is bearing down
on an ice hummoc or the black stretch OF
open water at the rate of thirty-five miles
an hour, with apparently thirty seconds
between one and disaster or drowning.
The inexperienced passenger, clinging to
the weather shrouds with grip which
would start the tar from the frozen rope,
can not help devoting a second or two to
wondering what the imperturbable gentle
man in the stern sheets is going to do
about it. The speed OF an ice yacht, under
favorable circumstances, is something to
take away the breath of one who has only
Travelled at the speed which may be got
from an ordinary locomotive.

cracked ice are thrown up astern like litt,e
fountains Of diamonds The object over
the bows that looked a moment
ago like a small black stick in
the ice - now boy waving his
hat at the yacht, and before second look
can be taken he is dropped astern, and one
only knows he is shouting his salute from
the TACT that his mouth is open. But it il
advisable Tor the passengers not to pay too
much attention to outside beauties and in
cidents. The cratic movements of the
yacht are such that unless pretty strict at
tention is paid to hanging on to the par.
ticular stay or rail which supports him he
is liable to be cast adrift. The yacht an
swers her helm SO readily that it is very
perplexing to man accustomed to handle
boat in the water, and sharp turns are
frequent Until the ice yachtsman becomes
accust to the superior sailing quail
ties Of aft on runners. But the most
exciting period is when in a stiff or gusty
breeze the yacht is skimming along on the
helm and the ice runners about half the
time. 1t is then the sense OF buoyancy is
akin to flying and the ice sailor makes
flights through the air which causes the
less nervy many q cold shiver.
The whole machine can be compared to
nothin but great white bird fluttering
along the surface, alternately attacking
and lodging some invisible enemy.
Next to rearing or heeling over the
most exciting feature is
JUMPING A CRACK.
When the crevice is wide this becomes genu.
inely dangerous, for should runner fail
to strike the top OF the ice on the further side
it involved wreck and menace to life. Oc-
casionally the actual danger is in q meas
ure obviated by building low incline OF
wet snow at the edge Of the ice and allow
ing it to freeze, so that the ice-boat is given
an upward impetus when it strikes the little
hill, which carries it over the crack in q
graceful fight through the air.
The greatest danger is when one yacht
is following another closely. An accident
or poor icemanship is quite liable to bring
them together, in which event wrecked
boats and broken limbs are not uncommon.
The bystander on the ice is in about as
dangerous a position as any one, especial
ly if seeing boat bearing down on him he
attempts to dodge it. The advisable way
is to stand still and let the skipper do tho
lodging.
Engineering and sporting papers have
treated the subject of the yachts speed ex.
haustively, but the explanations are con-
fusing to the average reader, and purely
scientific explanation would not be salts.
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1886-03-06

When the wind blows thirty or forty
miles an hour it is gale. A sixty-mile
zephyr is hurricane. When it gets above
that it is cyclone or a typhoon, and yet
ice yachts will average mile minute in q
twenty mile wind for comparatively long
distances; and when it is considered that
on the Hudson where these tests have been
made, the ice presented distractions in.
volving frequent maneuverings, and that
the speed at least half the time was under
twenty-five miles, it will be seen that dur
ing a part OF the time, to make up the av-
erage, a cyclone rate Of speed must have
been attained. An ice yacht is the fastest
machine on earth. The first ride is an ex-
perience to be remembered
Passengers and crew are stationed on
the windward side for the purpose Of bal
lasting her and relieving the strain on the
leaward runner. The first impression is
that one win fall through the spider-lke
the boat, and be slid of on the surface like
q shiny ball. Look downward a moment
and it appears that the vast carpet Of ice

cracks and bubbles blur and patches OF
snow look like little comets with tails which
streak away in the direction you are trav-

is making very creditable time. In the box
astern lies the ice skipper with eager eye
and nerves braoed, giving neither talk or
looks except to the business in hand. The
breezes may cut and sting, but he makes
40 sign. A dash through q window" OF
snow may throw up a cloud and momen-
tarily blind all hands. The man at the
helm may wink, but he does nothing else.

Sport Which Leads the World for
Speed and Puzzles Scientists-Sixty Miles
an Hour In q Twenty-Mile Breeze-The
Dangers and Pleasures Of tho Pastime.
There are two things in the physics of
sport which scientists do not understand,
and not understanding, deny their exist
ence. One is the possibility of "curvinR" a
ball, and the other is the fact that an ice
yacht will continuously sail faster than the
wind which propels it. Classroom philoso-
pliers have furnished demonstrations galore
that ball could not be curved and that it
was utter scientific nonsense than an ice
boat will race with and beat the wind, and
yet there stands the brutal and inconsider-
ate fact that both are done, and what is
worse, done by men who don't know the
difference between a logarithm and pump
handle. To a scientific mind these rock
ribbed, pyramidal facts are something
bazarre, inexphcable, Flanniganesque. But
there is more amusement in ball-playing
