A Story of "oId Ironsides. /"

One of the most famous of the
Constitutions exploits was during
the war of 1912, when she escaped
from Broke's squadron among which
she had accidentally fallen. The sea
was almost dead calm, so Captain
Hull had to resort to towing. All
her boats were lowered, with long
Enes attached, and in addition Hull
had ropes spiced together to make a
line half mile long, to which he at
tached a kedge anchor This was
carried in a boat half a mile ahead
and dropped, when the crew hauled
the ship rapidly forward. The com
modore of the English squadron
soon adopted the same tactics, and ii
it had not been for a breeze spring
ing up the Constitution would have
been captured.
In 1880 it was proposed by the
navy department to take her to
pieces, for she was said to be unsea-
worthy. But on account of her glori-
Gus achievements, people thought
she should be preserved. DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, then a young man
of twenty-one, just graduated from
Harvard university, wrote the fa
nous patriotic poem, "Old Ironsides.
This poem had such powerful in
auence ON the public mind that the
vessel was saved and is still in exist
ence, though nearly hundred years
old. -Harper's Young People.

A new beacon or coast light, the
invention of Professor Schir1n, of
Berlin, has been tested by the Ger
man Navigation Society of Ham
burg with cminently satisfactory re-
suits OH the coast near the mouth of
the Elbe The new method of illu-
mination is said to have literally put
the electric lighthouses in the shade,
and the cost of the light is stated to be
insignificant. The apparatus, with
all its accessories, is barely seven
feet high, and is about three feet in
diameter. In the interior part of
the apparatus, which is best adapted
for giving an intermittent light,
there is blast engine, by which ben
zine gas is produced; while air is
driven through pumice stone strong
ly impregnated with benzine.
This benzine gas is carried through
very fine magnesium powder and,
saturated Herewith, proceeds up
ward through a pipe, and is con-
sumed in a small flame, yielding a
light of the intensity of 400, 900 can
die power. The apparatus is con-
trolled by clockwork, and is inclosed
in glass with a view to protection
from wind and weather. The con.
sumption of magnesium is very
small, varying, according to the
power of the light required, from
four to ten centigrammes of magne
sium powder per flash.
The consumption in an hour would
therefore amount to from 14.4 to 81
grammes of the powder, equal for 6
ten hour working to from l44 to 36(
grammes, which would cost about
six and thirteen shillings respective
ly. The apparatus, moreover, does
not require condensers, fog arrange
ments or rehectors; but if lenses are
used the light would be still further
strengthened. Iron.

chinese vessels of FIFTY Year. Ago.

Fifty years ago a class of Chinese
vessels, now almost unknown, were
seen along the coast of China. They
were manned by the best and hardi-
est sailors, and to these vessels is as
cribed the gradual development of
an adventuresome spirit which fin
ally led many thousands of Chinese
to seek their fortune in other parts
of the world.
AS compared with ordinary junks
these vessels were marine monsters.
There capacity was equal to that of
any of the European merchant YES
sells plying in those days. They were
driven by mat sails of enormous
di1nensiops. They struck boldly out
into the open sea and visited places
as far away as Siam, Batavia and
Singapore. They were viewed by
English sailors with mixed feelings
of mirth and wonder as they went
tearing along before the breeze, their
lofty, red painted sterns and bows
high up in the air.
The vessels were known as Fokien
junks, because they came from the
coast of the Fokien province, the
people of which were called the best
sailors in China. They guided their
big vessels from headland to head
land, each of which their pilots
knew, and when they travelled be-
yond their own coasts they went by
compass or soundings until they
reached the desired haven.-New
York Sun.

An old Chestnut Tree.

There is a giant chestnut tree grow

measures nineteen feet in circum-

ANNUAL crop of chestnuts, 1t is said
that in primeval days the Indians
would gather under its branches on
a hot summers day 10 enjoy cool
breeze from the Delaware, hard by,
