How Jolly Jack Tar Used to Look Upon
| the Days of the Week.
The old superstition as to lucky and
unlucky days has largely passed away.
Foreign mails start and arrive on Fri
days without any regard for beliefs
which were at one time accepted as be-
yond argument by most sailors. Some
thought otherwise, as will later appear
Generally speaking, all saints days and
church holidays were regarded as un-
lucky, and certain days in each month
were rather distrusted. In an old alma
nae Of 1915 we find that July 10, 20, "a
and 81 were noted as ''no good anchor
age :" Sunday was always looked upon
as lucky, presumably in reliance on the
maxim, "The better the day the better
the deed" and the fact of our Lord S
resurrection having taken place on that
day.
Monday had no particular reputation
for good or evil. Tuesday was the same,
except among Spaniards, who said,
Don't marry or go to sea or leave your
wife on that day." Wednesday was the
day Of Odin, the Morse god, and lucky.
Thursday was named after Thor, the
Morse god Of war, and was suspicious.
Friday was the day dedicated to Freya,
Morse goddess of love, and having refer
ence to women was not liked on this
ground The true reason for avoiding
Friday was, of course, the fact of the
crucifixion having taken place on that
day, and sentiments of special venera-
tion for the day became converted into
feeling of fear for the results which
would follow it's violation. The Span
iards, ON the other hand, had consid-
cradle veneration for Friday and be-
lieved that some occult influence enabled
Columbus to successfully clear out of
port and discover new land on that day.
Saturday was generally considered aus
picious.
The origin of the phrase, "a capful
of wind" can be traced to Morse king,
Eric vi, who died in GOT A. D. He was
credited with the useful power of direct
ing the wind to blow where be wished by
the simple method of turning his cap to
that point of the compass. His powers
were much appreciated and trusted and
resulted in his being known as windy
cap. There is no evidence as to wheth-
er he could regulate the force of the
wind as we'll as the direction; presuma-
bly, he could, or his faithful believers
would not have been so many. A "bag-
full of wind" is another common ex-
preston and indicates something like a
gale. This has been traced down to the
classical legend Of Eolus and his captive
winds confined in bags. -London Nau-

THE EELS LIGHTHOUSE.
Novel Invention of New England
Sea Captain.

Sea Captain.
Members of the United States light
house board are considering an lnven-
tion made by Captain Eels, a New En-
gland mariner, and are inclined 10 re-
gard it as the best design ever present
ed for building lighthouses in the open
ocean.
For three years engineers and scicn-
lists have been working on mammoth
design for lighthouse on the outer
shoa. off Cape Hatteras, and at last
they believe they have perfected a plan.
1t is estimated that it will cost at least
81, 900, 900 to carry it out. The design
of the New England man provides FOR
light structure as high and as capable
of displaying light of the first order
as any in the world. at a cost probably
not exceeding 100000.
In general appearance the lighthouse
looks like an inverted funnel, and when
in place the big end will be on the bot
tom, several feet in the sand, and the
spigot end is to rise 100 feet, If neces-
sary, to support the light. The draw
ing of the design submitted to the
treasury department represents light
house at least $50 feet high from The
top of the lens to the bottom of the
water, the height above the water line
to be about 100 feet. The most re-
markab BILE featur of the scheme is The
great diameter of the cylinder at the
bottom and it's comparative slender
ness at the water line. The base repro
sents circle whose diameter is at least
seventy feet. while a few feet above
the water the structure is scarcely more
than thirty feet through the center, and
from that to the top of the light it con-
tinues to diminish until at the extreme
top it is not more than twelve feet
through. The big end of the funncI
consists of two walls, one inside the

other, with a space between of about
eight feet at the bottom and gradua ting
to four at the top, where the funnel
meets the water line. This annular
chamber is to be filled with masonry,
of which enough to ballast the struc-
ture and keep it in an upright position
is to be built in before starting for the
sea. Steel composes the greater part of
the structure, the framing and planting
of the sides of the funnel being similar
to the construction of war ship. When
the structure has been completed and
tOwed out to sea and sunk, it is prOpOs-
ed to fill in the space between the inner
and outer chambers with sand and
stones, and thus weigh down the great
