"That depends" was the answer, con

"Oh, it isn't much of story" said
The doctor thoughtfully. "The Incl

had been entered centuries before and no
weapons or treasure were left, only few
of the bones of the lord of the ship.
Strangely enough, with these were the
hollow bones of a peacock, probably the
trophy of some marauding cruise to the
southwark, and the remains of the skele-
ton of little dog, with some fshhooks
and some bronze ornaments for. belts and
harness. Near by were other interesting
articles. There were the bones of nine
or ten horses and dogs which had prob
ably been slaughtered upon the grave of
the ships captain. There was also pile
of oaken chips and neatly shaped
Ratchet, and piece of wood with hole
into which the shank of an anchor had
been inserted, with few bits OF iron re-
naming near by. The remains of two
or three small oaken canoes were also

Electricity Exposes Fakes.

The house surgeon of hospital onNa
Demerara (South AmericaJ sugar estate,
had good reason to believe that large
proportion of the patients that constant
ly filled his wards were malignerers.
The Indian coolies, who formed the
bulk of the labor on the estate, lost no
opportunity of Sinking their work, and
when they found that artfully simulated
sickness would at any time secure them
a temporary rest in cool room in place
of the ten hours hoeing in hot cane
piece, the general health of the working
stall, as might be expected, ran down to
q very low standard. The house sur.
gcon, however, was equal to- Che occa.
sion, and importing powerful electric
battery made rulo that any person ap-
plying for admission to the hospital
might, where it was considered necessary,
be subjected to tho influence of an cleo
trio current, the strength of which
should be regulated by the medical
attendant on duty. One or two coolies
were put to the test and the effect was
magical. The hospital wards began to
thin out rapidly, aud all subsequent in
mates could safely be regarded rs bona
fde invalids. An amusing incident has
just occurred in London, where similar
use of electricity has been made, with an
equally convincing result. One branch
OF the large army of imposters who prey
on the sympathy of the London public
consists of professors of ''soapy fits"
A distinguished member of the body,
called because of her cminencc in the
art, "Queen Anna," was met with tenn
porary check in the exercise of her call
ing. Twenty times during the last two
months has this amiablo lady been
known to fall down in the city in fits,
and on every occasion charitable people
have gathered around and presented her
with coppcrs, sixpences, and even shil-
lings, which she took in dazed kind
value-subsegucutly tested in liquor
saloon. The last time was opposite the
Mansion House, and police constable
was so touched by her distress that he
hailed cab and drove her to the nearest
hospital. Queen Anna, though very
smart woman, was no scientist, and was
therefore unaware of the properties of
the galvanic battery. But she knows
now, for the moment the doctor applied
one to her skin the fit ceased, and she
jumped up full of uncomplimentary
words for both the instrument and its
ssnanipulator.s She was promptly taken

surface to prevent slipping. A few pieces
of rope and some wooden rags, part of
the sail, were also found.
The chamber in the ship in which the
unburned body was deposited was a tent
like apartment made OF logs placed side
by side sloping to ridge pole running
parallel to the keel.
Those who have seen this vessel as
sure us that her model embodies all that
is requisite for speed, strength, and
beauty. She is no rude craft of primeval
days, but deity fashioned structure,
whose graceful lines would do honor to
Il sailing craft of to-day. She is n COM
pick structure, and must have required
the labor of several men-united and
harmonious. She is especially seaworthy,
and her broad bows distinguish her from
the smoother water galleys of the south.
Boats of q similar kind are seen in Nor
way to-day. Bow aud stern are alike,
pointed, and rise some distance out of
the water. This is the form given to
the best ships boats in use-the whale
boats, as they are called, and to life
boats and proper surf boats.

soned oak. The keel is very deep and
is made of great oak beams. To this
the bent timbcrs are fastened. The joints
of these natural growths of timber care
fully selected, are joined with withes of
tree roots, elastic and durable.
The planks are of sound, well.seasoned
hewed oak about an inch and IL half
thick. They are worked in clinker-
fashion-tkatis, overlapping each other,
and they have both their inside and
their outside edges nodded. Great
labor and care must have been taken in
selecting the timber and in cutting and
curving these plank with hatchets and

axes. They are riveted on with iron
rivets, which are clinched on both sides,
and there are few oaken bolts here
and there. She has no deck, and the
seats for the rowers are gone-probably
having been removed when the boat was
placed in the tomb. A floor made by
notchlng the sides and lower planks aud
putting loose boards therein, covers the
bottom of the boat, leaving bilgeways
beneath. There are sixteen oar holes or
row ports on either side, each about four
inches in diameter. These row ports
are so constructed that the oars can only
be thrust outwards, toward the stern,
and are covered by pieces of wood on
the inside when tie oars are unshipped.
The size of these row ports and the
absence of seats would indicate that the
short, quick, standing stroke was used

mill. 1t will be perceived that the cup
must be held in the hand TO be filed,
and retained there till it be empticd, as
then only can it be set upon the table.
The drinker having swallowed the con-
tents, blew up the pipe at the side,
which gave shrill whistle and set the
sails of the windmill in motion also.
The power OF the blow and the length of
the gyration were indicated in small
uial upon the front of the mill and also
in some degree testified to the state of
the consumer. Among the songs of
Burns is one upon whistle, used by a

blow it. The Dane conquered all corners
until Sir Robert Lawrie, of Maxwellton,
'after three days and three nights hard
contest, left the Scandinavian under the

contest took place, which has been i'm

Counting the Money at washington.

The counting of money in the vaults
of the United States Treasury at Wash.
ington is not 80 troublesome or tedious
task as might be imagined. In count
ing twenty-dollar gold pieces experience
has shown them to be so uniform that
only one pile is counted, and the rest of
the money is stacked and measured By
this pile, until the last pile is reached,
when that also is counted. In this way
the counting proceeds rapidly, Gold in
smaller denominations is always counted
or weighed. Silver is much more
troublesome to count than gold.-Chi-
cago Herald.

through which n rope passed combining
the rudder. A tiller, fastened to the up
per end of this oar, enabled it to be
turned readily by changing the angle of
the blade in the water.
The galley was fitted with one NOV
able mast, which stepped in a socket
sunk in q beam at the bottom of the YES
sci. At the pardncrs the mast passed
through lozenge shaped hole in fish
shaped piece of wood, where it was con-
fined by wedges.
The discovery of this gallery was OF
importance TO scholars, rs we'll as to
artists and amen. Its construction
illustrates many points in art, literature
and history affecting the ship. This
finely modelled craft was probably
Snekar, or a Drakarr whose carved prov
and stern, riding far above the wave,
made her resemble the fancied sea-
snake or dragoon, so much feared by the
sailors of the age.
1t would indeed be great deed if the
veritable remains of the vessel, whose
lord may have ut least venturcd to
Britain in her, should be brought half
way round the globe to the inland lake
by the newest city of the western world,
probably first made known 10y an ad-
venturous comrade to the old Viking.
AS we cannot possess the original, we are
fortunate, through the kindness of the
Norwegian Cove rnment, to be able to
have its exact fac smile, and to compare
her lines with the typical schooners OF
the great fresh-water fleet, aud with the
graceful yachts from abroad Chicago
