The bank clerk looked up little sur

expect to see SO much enthusiasm on the
part of his pastor. But he replied:
Yes, indeed, he is a grand old man,
and. as you say, he plays every point in

young choir singer so well posted on
English politics and thought to expand

This mystified the minister little and

slang speech on the part of his young
member. But he said quietly:

Sailors yarns have always been celc.
brated for their imaginative character.
Those of today, however, have no oppor-
tunity for favorable comparison with the
stories told by mariners Of antiquity.
The latter were able to count upon an
ineNhaustible public credulity, nothing
which they could possibly invent being
too monstrous or unusual for belief
Their tales presumably did much to
augment the fears of the sea which were
commonly entertained In those days,
giving birth to many Of the myths of
ocean. They told about the strangeland
inhabitated by fotos eaters, who fed upon
the fruit Of forgetfulness and lost all
memory of country and friends. Hey
ond was the terrible land Of the one eyed
giants, called Cyclops, they said, while
elsewhere were to DO found the strange
islands where tho enchantresses Gree
and Calypso lived. These islands Were
in tho narrow western Mediterranean,
and beyond was the Cimmerian land,
whoro the people lived in darkness al
ways, inhabiting gloomy caves.
There were Tie Sirens also, whose song

out stopping. Ulysses accomplished this
by putting wax in his ears. So they
were changed into rocks of Sorrento,
where they still exist terror to mari.
ners. Tho Sirens typify the surf, whose
/ harmonious mulanurs are often the death
music Of the sailor. In like manner the
Cyclops represent the Storm Fiend, as
their names show. Brontes is the roll,
Steropes the fash and Argis the white
ness Of lightning.
Likewise tho snaky Gordons are
j thought to be figurativo representations
of the white capped and angry waves.
Not less to be feared were the dreadful
Symplegades-hugo moving rocks which.
were tabled to crush ships passing be.
tween them. 1t has been surmised that
the tradition respecting these rocks was
derived from the floating icebergs, which
during the glacial period must have
issued from the Black sea; but this seems
hardly likely.-Washington Star.
