NAVAL MYSTERIES.
War Vessels of thcUnitcd states 1hnt
Have Disappeared.


Curious disappearance and accidents
to uur war>hips characterized the early
history OF our navy, and in spite of all the
efforts Of the navy department to explain
the cause Of the disasters many of them
~" as absolute mysteries today as when
they happened
When the government built ten new
sunboats to prosecute the war against
Tripuli in 1900, they were scnt out rs
soon as they were finished and before they
were named. Each one was given mum
her and dispatched to the seat Of the war
No. : sailed from New York July 20,
lSO5. under the command OF Lieutenant
Ogclvic, and after she cleared Sandy Hook
light she WAS never heard from again.
She went down with all on board before
she had even been named.
\ most extraordinary accident was that
which happened To the coryet Mononga
hcla At Santa Cruz in 1867.
Wildcat anchor in the harbor trcmcp
dous tidal wave lifted her upon its crest
and carried her clean over the town O.
Frcdcrichstadt and back again without
injuriug the town or the boat to any great
extent. The receding wave landed her on
the beach instead of in the deep water of
500, 900 to float her again. Fully as
strange was the fate of the sloop- of-war
Watcrce. she was anchored in the harbor
OF africa, Peru, in 1865, when huge ii.
dial wave swept inland and flooded the
whole city. The wave carried the sloop
several miles inland and finally landed
her in the midst of a tropical forest. 1t
WAS impossible to release her from such a

hes for nominal sum. The purchasers
turned the vessel into hotel, and the re.
main, II that once formidable war vessel
loom up in the tropical forest today as a
monument To- the power of tidal waves.
Among other cases Of disaster which are
attributed To the violence of the waves or
weather there is none more interesting
than that Of the strange fate Of the sara
t1-a. When she sailed from Philadelphia
IN October, 1850, under the command of
CAPTAIN James Young, there was no finer
or hanGsomer war vessel a1oat. That
she was IA formidable as she was attract
i've was soon demonstrated in IA practical
way After cruising around short time
she captured three British vessels in sue
ce>Sion, and then, with her prizes, sh,
started TO return to Philadelphia, but of

Care of Floors.

A vanished floor is the frequent re-
source of those who cannot afford To scop
waxed floors polished, 1t is satisfactory
unless it is stepped on. No varnish is
made that will not in time crack off un'
der the impress of tho nails in tho average
shoe or boot of the day, If vanished
floors are covered whcro the footballs OF
the household come, they will present u
fairly good appearance for some time, hut
it is usually necessary to renew the var
nish once year. An oiled floor is tho
best floor for kitchen. Such floor
should not hc scrubbed, but swept and
cleaned with kerosene at least once a
week. Once every two or three months,
according to the wear, the oiled flool
should DO cleaned and rubbed with n pol
ish made of two parts oil, raw, one part Of
turpentine and one part Of alcohol, Some
times for economy, the alcohol is omitted.
