ships.
The daily papers recorded the facts
that the steamship Majestic, on q re
cent eastern trip, caught sea that de
molished her crows nest lookout, and
that the Teutonic, which caught the
same gale coming west, had one sea
which combed over the crows nest and
carried away her forward port lifeboat
as it went over the rail, says the
Marine journal. But none of the daily
papers took the trouble to mention lust
how the crows nest on these ships is
situated, and consequently how high
that sea was. Inquiry discovered that
while in men-of-war and many other
ships the custom is to have the crow's
nest in the foretop or trifle above,
the White Star ships have 1t at an alti.
tude of twenty-five feet above the main
deck on the foremast, reached by an
iron ladder from the forward hurricane
deck.
In such ship as the Majestic or
Teutonic the height of the main deck
at the forerigging is about forty feet
above the level of the sea, which would
make the height of the wave that car
ried away the crows nest in this in
stance about seventy feet. This is a
pretty big roller for the North Allan
tic, but in other parts of the ocean
such waves are often encountered in a
storm. Supposing the ship to have
been in the trough of the sea at the
time this wave swept her, the mean
height Of the wave might be calculat-
ed as not greater than forty feet, but
it was certainly body of water near
ly seventy feet high from where the
shin fioated

LONG MEMORIES,
PAR of Characteristic Stories of French
DiplomatIsts.

DiplOmatiStS.
Some characteristic stories of French
diplomatists are told by Baronne
d'Oberkirch in her "Memoires."
When Prince Stahremberg was
Austrian ambassador to France, the
Due de Choiseul was French minister
of foreign affairs. Stahremberg made
call of ceremony upon the minister,
who made him wait SO long that he be-
came impatient, and had his name an.
nounced second time. Then he was
asked to wait q moment longer.
He was indignant, and threatened to
complain to the king. When he was
introduced into De Choiseul's presence
he cried:
''Monsieur, for an hour you have
kept waiting in an anteroom the am
bassador of his majesty, the emperor,
my master. Is this in accordance
with some new political fancy2 How
shall take this veiled Insult? Were
you busy?"
II confess" said De Choiseul, smil.
ing calmly, "that I was not particular
ly busy. / was finding the key to q
rebus. But was, in my treatment OF
you, showing respect to the customs OF
the court of Vienna. There, under
circumstances similar to these, Prince
Kaunitz made me wait more than ar
hour in his anteroom. l thought ]
could not do better than to initiate
him"
The prince thought this reply SO
witty that he could not help laughing
and telling the story to all of his
friends, and this was no doubt the
most politio way to accept the situa.
ton.
About the time of the American re-
volution the French commander, De
La Motte-Piquet, met, as he left
Quiberon bay, two American vessels
which saluted him. He replied, accord
ing to ministerial instructions, with
nine salutes of cannon, an honor to
which the ships Of the American re-
| public were entitled.
The English ambassador immediate
ly asked an explanation of the French
minister, De Vergennes.
De Vergennes replied good-naturedly
and as If he hardly given the matter q
thought:
Perhaps it was the echo of the
salute that you gave to a Corsican
warship when the king, my master, re-
garded Corsica as rebel, as your
ruler very well knew"

A WONDERFUL PLANT,
The Beautiful Snow Plant of the Western
Mountains.

The Beautiful Snow Plant of the Western
Mountains.
The most remarka BILE plant found
growing in the United States is that
fragile and paradoxical wonder, the
'snow plant" of the Sierra Nevada
mountains. 1t is known to the botan.
ist as sarcodes sanguines, meaning
"bloody or blooded flesh" Nothing in
the plant line was ever more exquisite.
ly beautiful than this rosy, snow-tinted
botanical oddity, which has been
ikened to crowned hyacinth.
1t grows to height of from eight to
twenty inches, each separate bract,
sepal and miniature bell being frosted
as delicately as though done by the
ice king himself. Although the whole
translucent spike is flushed with rose
and carmine, the petals are the richest
and most brilliant parts of the flower,
which is five-parted, each open bell
plainly disclosing the little frosted
stamens and pistils.
Floriculturists of the Pacific slope
have made many unsuccessful attempts
to cultivate the new plant the bulbs
being too brittle to stand transplant
ing and the seeds refusing to grow.
Botanists once gave it as their opinion
that the plant would not survive be.
low the line of perpetual snow, but
this idea has lately been proven er-
roneous. One thing Is certain, how
ever, 1t makes its early growth while
covered with many feet of snow,
blooming as soon as the Icy covering
is Denetrated

Supernatural AntIdotes.

Most ancient kings and nobleme n
relied, to some extent, at least, on
supernatural and magical means to
protect themselves against poison.
One kept peacock always near him,
because that bird ruffled up its feath-
ers when any kind of poison was
brought near, another had cup and
plate set with opals because this gem
was supposed to turn pale when
touched with poison; another rhi-
noceros horn, which caused poisonous
liquids to effervesce. One wore ring
as charm, another bracelet, third
an amulet.

up6IlHutlluenG DGGWdTU, WHO
answered the query in the alb
sence of his chief, tells him
that appointments must be
made by ballot and the vote of
each member recorded on the
minutes. He gives the sec
tion and chapter of the
school laws governing this
matter, and it is the same part
as the people who objected to
the directors voting secretly
based their claim of illegal APP
pointments upon.
The school board is certainly
composed of men of intelli-
gence and it is not probable
that they are standing by their
work of July 5 without good
grounds to support their secret
ballots, but it is not very easy
for common folks to under
stand their way of doing bust
ness when all other boards of
the state are compelled to fol
low the school laws. If for no
other purpose but to make GER
tain that the appointments are
legal the board should bestir
itself and look the case up.
In justice to the teachers who
will commence their term on
Monday the directors ought to
see about it. Should the ap-
pointments be illegal objec-
tions could be raised against
paying the teachers salaries,
and there is no telling but
what such objections may bob
up. | am making these things
public so that the directors can
get themselves righted ere it
is too late, thereby avoiding fu-
ture annoyances to the board
and the teachers. If they will
take a bit of friendly advice
they should give their reasons
for making the selections in
the manner they did or else
have reappointment by open
ballot and end all controversy.
That genial and popular coal
region graduate, Bill Estelle,
of Newark, N. j., was in town
Monday afternoon and made
brief calls upon several of his
former friends. His time was
limited and he did not have an
opportunity to give much in
formation upon the subjects in
which he has interested himself
the past few years. He is
heart and soul in the tariff re-
form movement and is con-
stantly at work advocating
this doctrine. Like many of
his co-workers throughout the
country he is pushing tariff re-
fOrm( (Which is now understood
by everybody to mean free
trade) as the advance guard of
something still more important
and greater-the single tax
theory. AS a writer and a
speaker upon economic ques-
tions Estelle has earned his
way to seat with the best in
the nation, and in joint debate
during and since the campaign
more than one of his opponents
has felt the force of his irwin
chile arguments. He is now
in the employ of the New York
Reform Club. Bill has warm
spot in his heart for Freeland,
for it was here where the light
of Georgism first dawned upon
him and made him an active
and earnest disciple of the
single tax. SAUNTERER.

At the meeting when the Sc
lections were made the board
voted for the teachers of the
different schools by secret bal
lot. This, several people al
legged, was contrary to the
school laws, and while only a
few made any objections to
the fortunate candidates for
schools, the majority of the
people seemed to think the di-
rectors ought to have voted
openly. So far this is not news
to TRIBUNE readers, but [ am
now informed that one of the
members of the board at the
last meeting objected to the
minutes of the previous session
on account of this method of
selecting teachers. My infor-
mant tells me that a letter from
County superintendent Harri-
son was read there by another
member, and the superintend-
ent stated that the appoint
ments are perfectly legal.
