WRECKS AND LIFEBOATs.
Recent Happenings on the Deep and the
Lesson They Teach.

Recent Happenings on the Deep and the
Lesson They Teach.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATCH.1
In the darkness and ooze of the ocean bed
and unlighted save by the luminous deep
sea creatures, is the wreck of many ship
and the last resting place of many a sailor.
1t is appalling to reflect upon the number OF
lives and amount of property which is thus
sacrificed every year. In the last issue OF
the Liteboat Journal. just published By the
Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Is a
wreck chart OF the British Isles for the
year ending June 80, 1859. Black dots indi-
cate the points of doom along their coast,
where, during that 12 months, and in spite
Of sol rocket stations and 81 lileboats, ~
vessels were sunk or damaged, and 45I
human lives lost.
The tragic wrecks OF the Vizcaya and the
Serpent are fresh in the public mind, and
the world will not soon forget the tragic
incidents of the Samoa hurricane. 1t goes
without saying, that, but 1or human appll-
ances and inventions the loss of life and
property would be much greather than it IS.
AT times mans power and cunning avail
HIM nothing, as when in his last extremity
he and his are utterly overwhelmed by the
irresistible power OF the elements.
1t is a tribute, however, to the strength OF
undying manhood that improvement IN life
saving devices goes steadily forward. About
the latest seems to be the new steel ll:eboat
Duke OF Northumbe beriand, to which the tur-
bine or hydraulic system OF propulsion has
been applied as an improvement over the
propeller proper, which works to dlsad-
vantage, when thrown out of the water by
the force of the waves. During the coming
winter season of storm and special danger to
those who go down to the sea in ships, the
latest shipping intelligence will be scanned
by many with great anxiety. 1t is to be
hoped that the records o: fatalities may be
unusually small.

another respect. The Intervention of bodies
in the line of attraction makes no difference
III the attractive force exerted. For ex.
ample, when the moon comes into direct
line between the earth and the sun there IS
not the slightest difference in the reciprocal
attraction between the two former. Inc
enormous power of this attractive force IS
utterly inconceivable. We are constantly
reminded of the power the earth exerts In
pulling us downward, but think OF the at
tractive power of body like the sun, more
than million times larger than the earth;
And this power controls every speck OF
hight that We see in the heavens.

Electricity in the French Navy.

The French Minister of Marine has de-
cided that every military port shall send to
Paris two foremen and two working electri-
clans to study the various systems of electric
lighting. A further evidence of the extent
to which the Government of France is recog-
with the fulles. possible instruction in
electrical matters is afforded by the fact
that lectures on tine theory and use of cleo
tricity and its employment for naval pur-
poses are being given at the Brest Observa-
tory, and they will be continued for foul
months.

THE AIR WE NEED.
A Timely Suggestion as to the Ventilation Of
Living Rooms

"A 1Ducly 1uSSColAOh as " bhC fOh1AALOA Va
Living Rooms
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArCH.I
With the coming of colder and winter
weather there is natural tendency to stop
up the cracks and crevices in our homes.
For this purpose the weather strip and other
devices are resorted 10. With this shutting
out of cold air pure air is often excluded.
1t is as to this latter and very practical
view of the subject that the attention of the
average householder should be intelligently
directed. 1t should be seen to that proper
and adequate ventilation be ensured at all
times to our living and sleeping apart
ments. Otherwise injury and disease is
likely to be entailed upon those most dear to
us. This is especially true OF women and
children, who are often much more con-
tinuously confined within doors than are the
men.
The best authorities tell us that not less than
80 cubic feet of air per minute is required for
each person to maintain reasonable degree
OF purity. A family of six persons should
therefore have about 800 cubic feet of fresh
air per minute flowing through the room
they are occupying. 1t is not enough to
have provision for entrance unless there is
also adequate arrangements for exit. How
many OF our homes are reasonably provided
with natures safeguard in this respect?

The secret took to Heaven they said.

On Heavens sacred portals:

MONEY OF THE INDIANS.
wampum is Al, ways of the Same Character
Whichever it is Found.

Wampum is Always of the Same Character
Whichever it is Found.
A good deal of Indian wampum, or money,
is occasionally found in the southeastern
parts of this State, and curious feature of
it is the fact that it exactly resembles that
found in the Indian graves of New England
and Canada, showing that the same kind of
currency must have been in circulation
among the Indians all over this continent
There are two kinds found everywhere in
America, the whitei and the purple, the
former being common and cheap, the latter
scarce and costly. THE purple was made
from the eye of the clam shell. the white
from the stem of the periwinkle she'll.
The aim of the wan Pum makers seems to
have been to have Sthe beads uniform,
smooth and highly polished, though by
what means they bored a hole through so
hard a substance is unknown. The labor
expended on the shells must have been
enormous.

st. LOUIS Globe Demo mocrat.1
Dogs should be fed in accordance with
what they are intended to do. A fighting dog
should be fed with raw beef and blood. diet
that makes him savage, and which has the
same effect on fighting cock. Hunting
dogs, on the contrary, should never be al
lowed to taste blood. for it will give them
an appetite for raw flesh, and will sometimes
lead them to steal the game.
The best food for hunting and house dogs
is the beef-crackling that comes from the
rendering works. 1t is thoroughly cooked,
and contains enough oleaginous matter to
be nutritious. With some kind of coarse
bread, it keeps the dog in good physical con-
dition, does not stupefy or make him dull
and is cheap enough to make it point to
buy it for dog feed.

spend Thanksgiving with her grandpa In the

to her, and with nothing was she more de-
lighted than with the blazing wood fire in the
open fire place. In the evening she sat curled
up on hassock, looking thoughtfully into the
glowing embers. Her mother noticed her and
playfully asked her what she saw in the fire.
The wisdom of her answer surprised them all.

fore asked the tender ii he could not slip

away by saying:

Light travels at the amazing rate of 1885,,
900 miles IN second. There are visible
stars so far away that if one were blotted
out at this instant it would be seen on the
earth thousands of years hence, because rays
of light, starting now, would take so long to
reach US, even at the wonderful velocity at
which they travel. But if new star were
now placed out there in the depths Of space,
where the blotted out one was, its attractive
force would reach US instantly. That
strange force, which dominates the uni
verse, would at once be felt, though of
course inappreciably between the new star
