watertight Compartmen,s.

There Is nothing new brought into
the field Of invention. but what some
musty old antiquarian sooner or later
announces that the Chinese were IA
maliar with the trick long years ago.
Casters Magazine instances the fol-
lowing confirmation of this generally:
The division Of a hull Of vessel into
compartments Is of n more distant
period than is generally supposed.
AS early as the beginning Of the nine
teenth century the Chinese divided the
holds Of their trading vessels. intended
for distant waters, into a number of
smaller holds or spaces. These CON-
partments were separated by parti-
lions made of 3-inch plank, and caulk-
ed with gum that was mixed with lime
and threads Of bamboo-a composition
that readily hardened when brought
into contact with water. The number
OF compartments depended upon the
number Of owners In the vessel.
AT just what time this division of
the hull was first adopted does not an
pear to have been recorded. It may
have been very old at the period
named. The compartments were made
for commercial economy, rather than
for the safety Of the vessel.
Use of bulkheads for safety purposes
was probably first made in the West
ern rivers Of the United States.
AS early as 1920. not ten years after
the introduction Of steam vessels on
the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers by
Robert Fulton, the hull OF the steam
boat Columbus, running between New
Orleans and Shippingport, Ky. was
torn open by a snag, but the vessel was
saved from sinking by having a snag
room, which apartment alone was flI-
ed with water
The Caledonia, running on the Missis-
sippi River In 1924, also had n snag
room.
Prior. to the year 1S49, OF 738 vessels
lost from all causes on the Western
American rivers, 40 were lost from
snags and other Instructions in the
rivers. No doubt the danger In nayi-
eating these rivers Is what brought
the snag room or chamber into use.

FORGOTTEN Wealth.

In one of the old London banks box
was recently found, containing money
and valuables, which had not been
opened or called for in 100 years, and
which now remains without claim
ant. Incidents of like sort are not in
frequent In banking history, though
there Is no other recorded instance Of
n package held in trust remaining so
long Unclaimed. Some years ago the
Merchants National Bank of Balti-
more discovered box containing $1O,-
600 in bonds Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, the ownership Of which could not
be at first traced. The coupons for the
preceding fifteen years were still at
tached. 1t was finally discovered that
the bonds belonged to the Hagerstown
(Maryland Bank, and had been de-
posted as collateral.

Cleanliness begins within. Ii . pas
isn't clean inside, he Is far from 0odll-
ness. A constipated sinner IL q stencil n
the nostrils OF the Deity. A man whose
food sours In his stomach, and whose liver
Is leaden, can't help looking at the world
hatefully with jaundiced eye, and Coz
juring up evil thoughts In his tortured
brain. Cleanliness of person begets clean
illness of thought. Cascarets, Candy Ca
thartic are the missionary medicine which
purifies mems bodies and minds. Pure,
fragrant, palatable, mild and positive,
they clean out the intestinal canal, stimu-
late the liver and strengthen the bowels
Then man enjoys again feeling OF char
ity and brotherly love for his fellows and
recommends others to take Cascarets and
be as happy as he.

President Mckinley and Hermann.

fresluent Mch1niey ana hermann.
Nine. Adelaide Hermann, the wild
ow Of the famous prestigitateur, relates
the following amusing incident, which
occurred at the last meeting of Presi-
dent Mckinley and Prof. Hermann,
between whom a strong friendship ex-
listed:
When he was last in Columbus, o.,
Professor Hermann called on Major
Mckinley, who was then Governor. AS
he started to go, Professor Hermann
said:
Major, may not see you soon again
and l have never given you. anything
by which you may remember me. Let
me make you present of this"
Taking his hand, he placed fine dia-
mond ring on one Of his fingers. Major
Mckinley thanked him and admired
the ornament. Shortly after Hermann
left, friend who was present said:
'Oh, by the way, Governor, will you
let me see that ring"
The Governor held out his hand, but
was astonished to find the ornament
gone. There was no need to ask ques-
tons about the mystery. Hermann
had left as a memento, instead of the
ring, the memory of very clever trick,
of which the Major was the victim.

red.
A loop Ia the free end from a teIe-
phone wire had been left dangling over
the street. This loop caught a little
button on the top of the carriage. The
horse was moving forward rapidly and
the loop frightened about the button.
The movement of the animal jerked the
wire, but 1t did not break and neither
did the button part company with the
top of the carriage. Instead, the whole
top was wrenched off the vehicle. The
carriage was half overturned by the
shock and Mrs. Grimshaw was thrown
out. being so severely injured that she
died In the house to which she was
taken for treatment.
