A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

Of the brightest principles OF Pythian-
ism in all its beauty is going the
rounds of the press;
Some time ago a man named Ma
this, member of the order OF
Knights of Pythias, died at Charles
ton ILL.,, leaving a widow and four chill
dren. The widow was stricken with
consumption and members OF the
Charleston lodges sent the family 20
San Diego, Cal, 10 the hope that the
mothers health might be restored.
But too late. She died, and the noble
knights out there took the matter in
charge, provided for the transporta-
tion of the body and the four little or
phans to illinois. They were placed
on the train and the X. Of p. lodge at
the first station where meals were
served was notified. From city to
city, as the train sped onward, mes
sages were sent over the wires to X.
of 2. lodges that the little ones were
coming, and in not one instance was
tie care and sympathy lacking. As
the train would pull into d city body
Of tho members of the order w0ul d
board it, searching for the little
mourners and bringing with the m
baskets Of fruits and sweetmeats;
sometimes money and presents; souv-
enirs of their kindness and attention.
When meal time arrived no passenger
on the crowded train Jared better.
Warm dinners at the best hotels
breakfast and nights rest in duwni-
est beds of the cities. Surely the lit
tie folks will never forget this trip.

things, nor did they leave them until

olLINe THE SEA.
Tho wonderful Eject ON Enormous Waves.
A Curious Sight.

The wonderful Eject on Enormous Waves.
A Curious Sight.
One of the most curious sights at sea
is that Of an oil bound ship
Every up to date ship carries oil
tanks, the quantity varying with the
size Of the vessel. For instance, o
steamer of 100 tons burden carries on
an average 60 gallons of oil. This oil is
the refuse discarded by the oil refining
factories and often consists of mixture
of whale oil, petroleum and vegetable
oil. 1t costs about twopence a gallon,
and largo sized vessel can be we'll sup
piled for 30 shillings.
The oil is slowed in spacious zind
tanks, arranged in the hold of the ship
tC cct rs ballast. Each tank contains 90
gallons of oil, and an ingenious mechan-
ical tap arrangement connects the tank
with the outside of tho vessel.
If a dangerous gale arises and the
ship becomes unmanageablo and likely
to founder, the sluices arc opened, and
30 gallons or moro of the oil is allowed
to escupe into the sea.
Tho effect is instantaneous. However
stormy the sea may be, tho vessel lies
in a gently heaving millpond. There is
no further danger of laundering, and
the oil moves along with the vessel foI
some time, often half an hour, after
which it breaks up and disperses. Tho
ship must slacken speed little, and
mere oil is let out from the tanks.
Enormous waves may bear down on tho
ship, but on approaching the magic
oiled circle they seem to melt away and
pass harmlessly beneath the vessel.
Sailing vessels arc not so often fur
nished with oil tanks as steamers. 1t i
estimated, however, that over 200 YES
sells have been saved from shipwreok by
means of the oil tanks since they wert
introduced few years ago. 1t is onl!
in cases Of absolute peril that the tank
arc rcsorted to.-LonGon Answers
