Lake Captains Will Carry Oil

Men who sail the great lakes are al
last taking to the use of oil tanks to
break the destructive effect of waves
during storms. Through the efforts of
the United States photographic office
captains have become better acquainted
with the marvellous effect small auan-
tity of oil will have upon breaking seas.
For long time lake sailors had a strong
prejudice against the use of oil, SEEM
ingly regarding it as an evidence of
weakness. If not positive cowardice. For
a time this feeling was SO strong cap
ta1ns would not admit they had spread
oil on the waters, even when It had
saved them from what might have been
serious disaster. With the coming of
fall storms this season sentiment has
changed wonderfully. A large number
of boats are being equipped with applt
ances for the proper use Of oil In storms.
The most common appliance is a bag.
from which the oil drops to the water.
This is hung from over the side of the
vessel, where it slowly empties it's con-
tents. A thick mineral oil has been found
the best. Its effect is to stop the breaking
of the waves, converting the seas into
long swells.-Chicago Journal.

that it has been suggested criminals
might be identified by procuring an ac-
curate tracing of their thumb marks.
There is remarkable and noticeable
difference between the hands even of
members Of the same family; observa-
tion OF dozen types of hand, even
among the circle of our own acquaint-
ances. might lead US to consider that the
old idea which represented the hand
even as more expressive of character
than the face was not mistaken fancy.
No portion of the human frame has been
by ancient superstition 80 particularly
placed under the protection of heaven
as was the hand. Every joint of the fin
gers on either hand was formerly dedl-
Gated to particular saint. st. Barna-
bas, st. John and ST. Paul guarded the
three joints Of the first finger Of the
right hand; while st. James, st. John the
Evangelist and ST. Peter were invoked
for the three joints of the left forefinger,
even the little fingers of each hand pos
sessing their triple dedications to saints:
while the right and left thumbs were
dedicated to the Blessed Trinity and the
Virgin. Our Saxon forefathers gave sep
arate names to each of the fingers of the
hand; the first finger being entitled
TOUGHER" because "therewith men
touch, 1 wis.," the next "lorgman," "for
long 1t Isl" the third "leechman," be-
cause doctor or leech tasted everything
by it, and also "ringman," because upon
this finger rings Especially the be-
trothal and bridal rings) were usually
worn. There was an ancient supersti-
tion that the pulsation Of the third finger
was directly in connection with the
heart. "Littleman" and "thumbkin"
were the names arciently given to the
little finger and the thumb. These titles
are still preserved in the old nursery
| rhyme. Dance, thumbkin, dance" In
one form or other, "the imposition of
hands," as a sacred or mystic rite, oc-
ours in most creeds ard mythologies.
Superstitions are rife regarding not only
the fingers of the hand but even the
nails. Hhe white speckS often percepti-
BILE upon the finger nails have as pro-
phetic meaning attributed to them as to
the markings on the palm and fingers;
while it is often considered unlucky to
cut the nails at certain dates, or under
| certain aspects Of the moon. 1t Is said
| that the growth of the nails on the hui
man hand is strangely variable, being
more rapid in children than in adults
and slowest in the aged; also varying
greatly in winter and summer; the same
nail which renews itself in 1872 days in
winter performing the same feat in 116
days in summer. Nails grow faster upon
the right hand than ON the left; most
rapidly upon the middle finger, slower
upon the little finger, slowest of all In
the thumbs.-London Evening Stand

Alderman Lunt introduced an order per-

arrangements with the Germans this
with the understanding that there is a
possibility of an arrangement being made
between the two arrangements. by means
of which the Food fair may have the BEN
