Landsmen who are slow to realize the
tremendous force of the sea had an
object lesson ashore in this city the
other day, when five large tanks, built
to contain 100000 pounds of soap, but
temporarily filled with water, and sta
toned on the fourth floor of a large
building in New York city, collapsed
and completely wrecked the whole
structure, killing three men and doing
a large amount of damage. The tanks
were each Is feet high and about Is feet
in diameter, and contained 161 ,1O3
pounds of water, but the floors and
supporting beams proved altogether
Inadequate to stand the strain. \ wave
of the dimensions of one of these tanks
is not at all unusual at sea, and when
such wave breaks on a vessels deck
the force of the blow can only be es-
timated by the amount of damage it
does in spite of the elasticity of the
water beneath the vessel to ease her in
receiving the shock. When the city
firemen state that the stream from a
hose under so pounds pressure will cut
through an ordinary brick wall, the
force of the sea in a gale may be, per-
haps, better magined.-Marine JouIs

Among the early Greeks suicide was
uncommon until they became con-
taminated by Roman influence. Their
religious teaching, unlike that of their
AsiatiC contemporaries, was strongly
opposed to self-destructiOn. While a
pure and manly nation, they regarded
it as a heinous crime, and laws existed
which heaped indignity upon the body
OF the suicide. BY an Athenian law the
corpse was not buried until after sun
set, and the hand which had done the
dced-preoumably the right hand-was
cut off and buried separately, as having
been traitor to its owner.
The only suicides ever spoken of with
respect, or anything approaching com
mendation, by the early Greeks, were
those of purely patriotic character,
like those of Themistocles and King
Codrus, both of whom were considered
patriots. The latter. when the Hera-
clidae invaded Attica, went down dis
guised among the enemy with the in
tention of getting slain, and having
picked "A quarrel with some soldiers
succeeded in his object. The reason for
this ac; was that the oracle had pro-
nounced that the leader of the CON
quering army must fall; and the king
sacrificed his life in order that his
troops might be victorious and his
country saved. Themistocles is said to
have committed suicide rather than
lead the Persians against his own peo-
ple.-Lippincott's.

THE SONG or THE HOE.

Hear We the song of the hoe,
And hear ye without scorn;
The ring of my blade on the hill or the
glade
Is music to the corn.
And the old heart of the hill,
1t pulses with the thrill,
And sends its sap allow;
And it flows into the corn,
And a gladder life is born
When it hears the song of the hoe.
Hear We the song of the hoe
And what is the song l sing?
IT'S sweeter rune If your ear is a-tune
Than the harper's song to the king;
IT'S song of joy, not of tears,
How the earth for a,4nillion years
VIII bua and blossom and grow,
And still be glad and young
Whenever my song is sung,
When it hears the song of the hoe.
Hear We the song of the hoe
| sing Of the things | hear:
The thoughts down deep in the old earth
keep
Are whispering in my ear
And the corn can unFerstand
And it tells the smiling land
(F'Or doth the message goD,
The thoughts that have their birth
From the old young heart of the earth,
That are sung in the song of the hoe.
Hear We the song of the hoe.
It's an honest song and true,
And good for men again and again,
And good for you and you.
1t sings of the deep-down things,
OF the worlds first lore it sings,
The world hearts overflow;
And it tells your sallow brood
The heart of the world is good
Then hear ye the song of the hoe.
Hear ye the song of the hoe
That floats with the smell of the soil.
That tells of the wealth of the old earth $
health,
OF the meter and music of toll
And this is the core of it's song,
That the earth is made for the strong,
Nor yields up its wealth to the slow;
And that labor is love and delight
TO those who are fain for the fight
Then hear ye the song of the hoe.

1t is often said that there is iron
enough in the system of an ordinary
man to make a plowshare. The state
mcnt is exceedingly wide of the truth.
The amount of iron contained in the an
imal tissues of a man weighing $50
pounds is about 100 grains, or a quarter
Of an ounce. Yet so important is even
this small amount to the system that
a difference of a few grains more or
less may produce serious constitutional

The White MhnIe'S TniI.

Looking at the white whale a person
not familiar with water animals might
be mildly astonished to see that crea-
ture lean outward when swimming
around in a circle, instead of inward.
Seeking the cause of this the observer
unfamiliar with whales would discover
that the whales tail is set. not in "a
vertical plane as is the case of fishes,
but in horizontal plane. Set horizon
tally instead of vertically, the whale
tale is Of the very greatest assistance
to it in diving, and especially in rising
promptly to the surface. which it is
necessary for it to do at intervals to fill
its lungs with air. Going over again to
the wall tanks the observer may note
again, and this time with a new inter
est, that all the fishes there have tails
up and down, in line with the body, IN
a vertical plane; and he learns upon in
quiry that all fishes have tails in "A
vertical plane, and that all aquatic
mammals, of witch the whale is one,
have tails set exactly the other way, in
q horizontal plane.-N. Y. Sun.
