The Fate of sunken Ships.

What becomes of the ship that sinks
in mid-ocean? If it is of wood, it takes
in the first place, considerable time for
it to reach the bottom. In one hundred
or more fathoms of water quarter OF
an hour will elapse before the ship
reaches the bottom. 1t sinks slowly,
and when the bottom is reached it falls
gently into the soft, oozy bed, with no
crash or breaking. OF course, If 1t is
laden with pig iron or corresponding
substances, or If it is an iron ship, 1t
sinks rapidly, and sometimes strikes
the bottom with such force as to
smash to pieces. Once sunken, the
ship becomes the prey of the countless
inhabitants of the ocean. They swarm
over and through the great boat, and
make il their home. Besides this, they
cover every inch of the boat with a
thick layer of lime. This takes time,
of course, and when one generation
dies another continues the work, until
finally the ship is so laden with heavy
ircrustations, corals, sponges and bar
nacles that, If wood, the creaking tim
bers fall apart, and slowly but surely
are absorbed in the waste at the sea
bottom. Iron vessels are demolished
more quickly than those of wood
which may last for centuries. The only
metals that withstand the chemical
action of the waves are gold and plat
mum, and glass also seems unaffected
No matter how long gold may be hid
den in the ocean, it will always be gold
when recovered, and this fact ex'
plains the many romantic and adven'
turous searches after hidden subma.
rine treasures lost in shipwrecks.

1t was a great shock to him to learn
that Miss Pearson was lodged seyeral

didn't know it till the day he proposed
to her. She poised her tapering fore
