FATE OF A suNkEN SHIP.
,...royed by the Myriads of Hungry
Creatures in the Ocean.

....,oyed by the Myriads Of Hungry
Creatures in the Ocean.
=, looking at the ocean, the mind
.,most instinctively turns to the fate
% the ships which find their resting
oioce upon its floor. II the reader were
ppnnoInted to inspect the bottom OF the
drained sea, he would be sure to look
~ once for some remnants OF this kind,
overwhelmed by storm and battle.
roncy has depicted these vessels as
an,ckly strewn over the bottom of the
Goa and at times hung in the depths,
unable. on account Of the density Of
the water, to find their way to the
earth. But all we know Of the condi-
tjon of the deep leads us to believe
that the sunken vessel finds it way
nuickly to the foundation of the sea.
In a few hours at most it reaches its
everlasting grave and is ready for the
swift destruction which awaits Its form.
At the stroke of its fall it must in part
sink into the ooze, which everywhere
ia deep. Quickly the creatures of the
sea. who by long existence In fields
where food is scanty have learned to
avail themselves of every chance of
subsistence, seize upon all the organic
matter which fortune has sent them.
Even the masts and the other wood
work will shortly be honeycombed by
living species and weighed down by
encrustlng forms. Thus before long
the masts will fall and the decks will
share In the ruin.
If the reader could traverse the Geld
whereunto came the shot-riddled ships
Of Trafalgar he would probably. says
a writer in the Youths Companion, be
surprised at the slight effect they
would make on the landscape. Each
wreck would most likely appear as a
low mound of debris, in which 1t would
be difficult to trace the semblance of
the stout craft which waged the great
est sea fight of all time. Ships of
European people have been for CEN
turtles finding their way to the floor of
the ocean. Probably over hundred
thousand vessels have met this fate
since the time when our race began to
find It's way around the world. Yet by
far the greater part of these have fallen
upon the shadows near the sore, where
the swift currents and rapidly moving
debris are likely to aid in their de-
struction and burial. How swiftly
they disappear in these conditions may
be judged by the experience Of a diver
who has sought for suken treasures.
Almost invariably, after a hundred
years or so has passed, they find that
the craft is quite lost to sight. Far
more money has been spent in such
explorations than has been won from
them. CUriously enough, the most
permanent records of mans empire of
the seas are being written In the ashes
from the coal-fed fires of the steam
ships. This waste Is in its nature in
destructible. and the mass of material
contributed in any one year to the
ocean floors is to be reckoned by the
million tons. In time all the great
ship routes will be paved with this
debris, which will be built into the
rocks. to remain as the most enduring
physical monument of mans sway up
on this sphere.

George Grossmitb,s Railway

George Grossmith has a railway all
TO himself-it is called the Dorset
Square Railway. The line, it seems.
runs through the popular entertainer
residence, from the main terminus 0he
reception room, through the hall to
the stables, the other terminus being
the coach-house. Mr.. Grossmith is
rather reticent about this, his pet
hobby. Nevertheless, a newspaper rep
resentative learned that the engine
which is a perfect working model,
stands three feet high, and is capable
of attaining high rate of speed-with
tender and railway line, cost the orig
inal owner about $500 Mr. Grossmith
says that he bought it at a sale for a
mere song, as the machine was too
small for use and too big for toy. One
of the most humorous sights magma
BILE is to watch Mr. .Grossmith as, seated
in the tender in company with one or
two juvenile friends, he starts the
train, peering anxiouslyin front, in order
to avoid any possible accident, turning
on and shutting off steam, as occasion
requires. and invariably arriving at the
journeys end with passengers and
train intact.-W estminster Gazette.

Women and Their Lovers.

1t is easy enough to tell man by his
friends; but it is impossible to tell a
woman by her lovers. One reason for
this is that a man usually shows him
self to his fellows as he is; but it is i'm
possible for his fellows to know how he
shows himself to a woman, SO long as
he is in love with her. In that blissful
condition the rude, off-hand man of
business becomes to his mistress a pict-
ure of clumsy courtesy; the coward is
capable of feats of valor from which a
French cuirassier would shrink; the
mean tradesmanly person will stop be-
fore the shops of jewelers., hesitate, and
at last enter; the rake will honestly re-
greet the hearts he believes that he has
broken, and, for the moment stead
tasty purpose to lead a new life But
if these men find favor in the eyes of
their respective women, it is not for
their pretty manners, nor their courage
nor their generosity, nor their pure
mindedness. The women are not re-
PEELED by their vices; that is all. They
are not attracted by their lately as
sumed virtues. Why should they be?
They are not courageous, nor generous
nor especially pure minded themselves:
and as for their pretty manners-per-
haps their maids or their children could
tell you something about those that
would astonish you not a Iittle.-Lon-
don Realm

HOW THEY FIGHT.

Lieutenant Churchill Of the British
army has been observing the war in
Cuba and describes one Of the battles,
when he accompanied the Spanish
troops. This was the action at La Ri
ferma. He declares that it was a battle
typical Of all the engagements In the
rebellion.
From this account IL is ascertained
that while the Spaniards form line of
battle and observe the usual methods
OF attacking, retreating and thanking,
and so on, the insurgents follow the
plan Of avoiding contest in line Of bat
tie; they slipping out of position in
which they would have to return the
fire Of the Spanish army in the regular
way. They scatter, fire upon all occa-
sions when the enemy is unprepared,
wreck trains, throw dynamite, make
dashes upon sleeping camps, and the
like, and are adopts at hiding. scatter
ing and taking refuge in long grass,
This style of warfare disgusts the
Lieutenant, who seems to sympathize
with the rebels and to wish them sue
0ssS He says:
The military situation is a most diff
ficult one. The rebels undoubtedly con-
tinue this policy, which will render il
very hard for Spain to suppress or harm
them TO a great extent. ! see no reason
why, If the insurrectionists would only
depend on their military strength, the
war should not end at once. AS il Is, IL
seems that it will never end.
But I don't believe that the worlds
history shows a single instance of ma
ton having won independence merely
by burning property, wrecking trains,
firing into sleeping camps and throwing
dynamite. These are not the acts on
which a nation can be founded. II was
not thus that the American people won
their independence from the English
crown. 1t was not by paltry acts of
brigandage, but by hardfought actions
in the field, which, although often de-
feated and overwhelmed by better dis
ciplined troops, manifested the sacred
nature of the cause for which they
were prepared to sacrifice their lives.
We do not think that the records of
history will wholly bear the Lieutenant

A RAILROAD INSANITY.

A learned Jewish Rabbi in the amer
lean Magazine of Civics" discourses in
terestingly of popular insanity, and
very truthfully says that insanity is
not confined to individuals but affects
communities and even nations.
As instances he cites the crimes
against humanity that shame the rec
ord of the middle ages; the frenzy about
witeheraft in the eighteenth century;
the lunacy of the crusades in several
centuries; the insanity Of attachment
to the institution of slavery that led to
the war of secession; the anti-semitic
agitations and crusades which continue
even to the present; the insanity that
af1icts hundreds of thousands of our
own people at this time as to short outs
to financial prosperity, and patent
oure-alls for every sort and kind Of
social and industrial ills, etc.
Can it be possible that the Rabbi has
in mind also the insanity of some of
our own people on these shores whose
lunacy makes them irresponsibles re-
garding railroads and railroad people,
and the treatment they should receive
at the hands Of the Government. AS
suredly the rage of the anti-railroad
agitators and their insane suggestions,
plans and policies regarding regulation
and Government ownership as means
to great good for California, would
justify the essayfst in CHASING that and
similar decisions among other popular
mental alterations.
If it is true, as he puts it, that mad
ness consists in inability to form judg-
ments on certain matters more or less
extensive in agreement with univer-
sally known and incontrovertibIe facts
Of nature and life, then assuredly the
rabid and unreasoning number slaves
of prejudice and short-sightedness,
who blindly push forward the scheme
of Government ownership as a sure and
safe means Of securing from the rail-
ways that which is due to the Govern
ment, constitute a popularity insane
class, a class by reason of its mental
perversion, unable to think and act
with regard to these matters in harmony
with facts. realities, fixed conditions
