OCEAN MYSTERIES.
SECRETS WELL GUARDED BY OLD
FATHER NEPTUNE.

Vessels Which Have Sailed and Never Been
Heard of-The Marie Celeste-An Amerl.
can Brig That Was lowed Into Port but
Her People Had All Disappeared.
When well-found ship leaves port
and is never afterwards heard from, it
is put down as mystery of the sea.
When dead body encased in an un-
identified life-jacket is lifted up by the
sleepless surf and cast on the wave
worn beach, that, too, is recorded as a
mystery Of the deep. The waterlogged
raft with the stump of distress sig
nal spar pointing mutely skyward: the
battered lifeboat with the oars drag
ging from the gunwales, and the acre
of boxes and barrels and beams and
planks floating silently on the white
crests, and in the dark hollows Of the
surging sea, these are likewise called
ocean mysteries. Sometimes these
marks Of shipwreck and death are
picked up by more fortunate craft and
are brought to port to be mysteries no
longer But there are mysteries OF the
sea deeper than the plank, the crushed
lifeboat and the dead sailor. Man has
tried to fanthom them, hopelessly at
tempted to put two and two together
that he might get at the truth. Noun
tains and valleys echo their secrets,
but the cruel old ocean never does.
There are greater secrets in Old
Neptunes care than those Of the miss
ing ship. The NarOnic went away and
never came back. So did the City Of
Boston. City Of Glasgow, Erin. Alvo,
City OF London, City Of Limerick, Pres
ident, Pacific and score Of others.
Yet the disappearance of these craft
are ordinary mysteries of the sea. A
greater mystery still is when crew
abandons its ship and is never again
heard from, while the abandoned craft
is subsequently towed into port with
out giving the least trace Of those who
had been in charge Of her.
Such case was that of the Marie
Celeste, and it Is as weird and uncanny
a tale as even the Ancient Mariner"
or the Flying Dutchman' aspired to
be. The remarkable disappearance Of
the Celeste's crew was made the sub
ject of an extensive investigation by
the State Department in Washington,
and it is from these records that the
particulars herein given were obtained.
The Marie Celeste was an American
brig of over 400 tons, and early in the
seventies left this port for Villefranche,
in the Mediterranean. Several months
after her departure she was towed into
port as sound as new coin, but her
people. numbering thirteen, including
the wife and child of the skipper, have
not been heard of from that day to this.
The name of the captain of the Marie
Celeste was Benjamin Briggs, and he
hailed from New England. In addition
to the little six-yearold daughter who
shared the fate Of the crew, whatever
it was, the captain had boy ten years
old. 1t had been his habit to take this
boy to sea with him, but on the event.
full trip in which he disappeared from
the face Of the globe, he left his son
behind. The latter has spent small
fortune in trying to ascertain what
happened to his parents and the other
people of the brig after that vessel was
deserted; he knows as much now of tho
mystery as he did twenty years ago.

ABOUT BALL0oNING.
SOME CURIOUS FACTS RELATED sYAN
OLD AERONAUT.

Men Who Pierce the Skies Fsarlsssly Cas-
not Look Over tho Edge Of an Ordinary
Building Without Terror Trouble Due to
Self-Conscieusnsss.
Few men or women who sail up to
the skies in balloons with entire fear
lessness could stand on the ledge Of q
third story window without expert
encing that faintness and nausea which
terror inspires or feeling an almost r.
resistible desire to fling themselves
headlong to the pavement below" said
the old aeronaut.
why is 1t thus!" / asked in sur
prise.
1T is, think" returned he. due
entirely to the fact of self-conscious-
ness. Balloonists are all more u less
self-conscious. It is that way with
every person who IL favored with con-
slant public notice or with supersensi-
tive, highly cultivated or Intellectual
folk. In close proximity to their fel-
low men and things Of earth their SEN
cApAAASy ~ oullOuAuIu6b 40 AuNoA
acute. There are few Of such persons
who could walk along the edge Of tall
building or who could peer down from
the brink of precipice without SUI
fering vertigo and that strange hysteric
impulse to jump of. This is because
they are too thoroughly aware Of their
own personalities, or, In other words.
because they are always thinking Of
themselves.
. Now, a person who Is not self-cop-
scious may parade up and down on tho
tops Of cliffs, climb steeples or cling to
the ridge Of skyscraping building
without the slightest degree Of fear or
Inconvenience. HIS sensibilities are
blunted; he is not sufficiently imbued
with the idea Of his own personal
worth to heed the perils and discom-
forts Of lofty position. But put that
same individual into q balloon and
send him up into the sky for couple
of miles and, most parads1ically, he
at once becomes nervous, restless and
eventually evlnces the liveliest fear.
He is liable to become sick and faint,
and manifests all those disorders COM
mon to the self-conscious man at an
eminence of hundred feet or SO.
THE latter, however, the moment
you get him thousand feet above the
earth, the moment all familiar objects
begin to reoede from his view, loses all
fear and tendency to vertiginous dis
turbances. A strange exhilaration
possesses him, and likewise an impulse
to dare and do. II there be trapeze
attached to the balloon he wants to
climb down and swing in 1t.
THAT is why professional aeronauts
ascend to great heights and swoop
down to earth by means Of the para
chute. They have lost all conscious
ness Of themselves among the clouds,
and boldly trust themselves to the n.y.
pothetical safety Of the big umbrellas
without tremor Of fear. Yet I VEN
ture to say not one Of these profession
ais would trust himself to leap from a
building $50 feet high with para
chute. doubt II many Of them at
such height could be persuaded even
to venture close enough to the edge to
peer into the street"
