The Possibility of Collision in Magellan
Waters Discussed.
Rumors have been current of late that
Chill, in case of war with the United
States, would concentrate her feet at the
Straits of Magellan and Cape Horn, and
thus cut oil all communication between
American vessels in the Pacific and the
Atlantic \ strategic move Of this kind
seems plausible at first sight, but as a
matter of fact it could not but prove dis
astrous, as the Chilian men-of-war would
be exposed 10 attack on both sides. II is
one of the greatest advantages the United
States have over Chill. that having sea-
shores on both oceans they can reach that
country from two different sides for the
concentration OF their feet
But suppose that the American vessels
In the Atlantic on their way to Chill found
the passages through the Magellan strait
blockaded. Il Is very likely that the com
mander in chief OF the feet would rather
force mis- passage through the strait with
those vessels which do not draw too much
water than sail around Cape Horn at this
time of the year There can be little dou bt
that the Gushing would be- among the
American ships, and tina; she would have a

access is gained by secret panels and in
which conspirators once concealed their
weapons, how conveniently these do lend
themselves to the uses of fiction America
is too new to be rich in such materials but
she already has some very interesting old
houses.
In Newcastle county, Del, within a
mile of Port Penn on the bay and in the
richest farming region in the state, stands
the oldest habitable dwelling in the United
States north of Florida. 1t is of brick,
with walls thirteen inches thick and won
derfully solid, is at least 200 years old and
seems good for 200 more. 1t is the home
and property of Thomas F. Dnworth, who
holds all the deeds, including an original
not now decipherable. The oldest deed
that can be read is of registry March 4, 1886,
and is from Gala johnson to Hendrick

name. In 1895 Robert and George Crow
sold land and dwelling to William Hill,
great-grandfather of the present owner,
and they have been in the family ever
since.
The tradition then was that the house
was built in 1881 by Dutch settlers left
there by Jacobeen Mey, the navigator who
gave his name to Cape May. The shingles
were fastened on with cedar pegs instead
of nails, the latter being too valuable for
such uses. Captain John Aldrich, another
ancestor of the present owner, was born in

One sided.

Of all the eccentricties which have been
recorded as belonging to men of genius,
perhaps none could be well considered
more amusing than that which was dig
played by the great musician Frederick
Chopin, at one period of his career.
This was the time when Chopin was
young, and not too fond of taking trouble
about anything except music, His per-
sonal appearance was the last thing to
which he gave thought; and yet, the pub
lic' made certain demands upon a per-
former which he reluctantly conceded.
The way in which he reconciled his in
dolence in regard TO one matter of his
toilet, with his regard for the audiences he
never failed to charm, he tells in a letter
sent to his parents from Vienna in 1891.

ton at Port Penn that William Penn first
landed there. There are several other old
mansions Whereabouts, but none SO old as
the Dilworth house.
Another curious structure is the hull of
an old whaler which has been made fast at
the foot of Thirty-sixth street, Brooklyn,
for many years. On it chapel has been
constructed, and its bell three times every
week calls To worship the sailors from adj
jacent vessels. In this Bethel" as it is
called, the Rev. Timothy Lane has preached
for twenty years. All that time he has
been saving money to buy a lot for q
church, and having accomplished it at
last will soon sell the hull, and as it is in
good preservation it may pillow the seas
again.
The original bark was built by Captain
John Tam, who is remembered only by the
oldest whalemcn. For many years he
commanded 500 ton brig, but she was
struck by a whale and sunk He then
built this bark of live oak and hackma-
tack at Belfast, Me. He and his crew
made fortunes in their new vessel and re-
tired, after which the bark was changed
into propeller and ran some years in the
India trade. Then the vessel was changed
to a Bethel" and lay for seventeen years
at Pier H. on the Hudson, and in 1886 was
moved to her present place.

RED HALL

TO go is the old Elizabethan mansion at
Bourne, in Lincolnshire, which must be re-
moved TO make way for railway. In Red
Hall, as it is called. the notable gunpow-
der plot of l605 was arranged, that plot
which made Guy Fawkes immortal
1t IS the very irony of history that this
poor servant and private soldier is the only
one OF the conspirators generally remem-
bered, while Catesby, the organizer, and
Everard Digby, his chief assistant. are
comparatively forgotten. The old hall
was then the home of Digbv, and the Soci-
ETY. for the Protection of Ancient Buildings
has besought the railway company to put
a curve in its line to save the old structure.
