Relics of tho Reynlmtinn.

Two old carrOnadeS We're fishcd up
from the Savannah River by the dredge
Babcocli while the deepening process
for the Hutchinson's Island terminals
was in progress, says the Savannah
(Ga) News. After the old guns were
dug up months ago there was some
correspondence with the Smithsonian
Institute in regard to them. but the
Smithsonian will not get the relies.
and it seems probable that they will
grace some spot in Savannah. Prop
erly mounted and inscribed with their
history and the manner and date of
their recovery, the guns would prove
objects of no little interest.
1t Is believed the hulk from which
the guns were recovered was the wreck
Of the British man-ofwar Rose. which
was sunk by the Continentals and the
French. The exact location of the
wreck could not be nscertalred from
the historical accounts, but it iy pre-
sumed that the hulk demolished by the
dredging force was all that was left of
the British war vessel. This belief is
strengthened by the fact that the car
ronadeS are of the type that prevailed
about that period.

.6666d Roads R0tss



Wy HERE is food for thought in
the report of the Maryland
Geological Survey. In the
{. first place we are told that
the people of Maryland have expend.
ed, during the last ten years, upon
the so-called construction and repair
of their own roads. the sum of nc
less than SG,O00,00O. II seems that the
greater part of this money has been
frittered away in the attempt TO re-
pair roads which have been poorly
laid out in the first place. and for the
lack of certain necessary engineering
qualifications can. i'm the nature OF
things. never be made into good roads.
AS an instance of this IL may be men.
tiored that many of the common
roads have no natural drainage. We
are told that the most of them are
in poor condition for n part of the
year. and some of them for the whole
twelve months.
AS the result of careful estimate
made Ivy the survey. II is shown that
the farmers of the State of Maryland
cXpend S3.OO0,OO0 more on their haul.
ing over the present poorly built high.
ways than would be necessary If the
hauling were done on tirst-class roads.
These figures are to be compared with
the information collected by the De.
partment of Agriculture in 1895. when,
as the result of data received from
over twelve hundred counties In vari.
Gus parts of the United State, IL was
ascertaincd that the average cost of
hauling one ton for one mile over
country roads was twenty-five cents:
which was just three times as much
ms the average cost of hauling over
the improved macadam roads of six
European countries If this large sum
of money represents the loss to the
State of Maryland from poor roads.
it Is easy to say that the total loss
throughout the United States repre-
sents Il figure so great that it must
have an important bearing upon the
prosperity of the country at large,
and particularly upon the farming in
tercsts as such.
At first sight ii seems incredible that
in country so progressive as ours
the condition of the common roads
should be over half century behind
that of the old world 1t is true that
the vast extent of the United States.
and the great mileage of our roads in
some States relative to the density of
the population, may be offered as an
excuse for bacliwardness; but while
this plea may hold good as regards
the thinly populated Western and
Southern States, it cannot be applied
to the older, more populous and
wealthy sections of the country-Sci-
entitic American.

Tho MYsterY of Lnrd LOYAL

One of the remarkable disappear
ances recorded in English history was
that Of Lord Lovel, in the battle of
Stoke, which took place f13 years ago.
This famous conflict was the decisive
one In the war of the roses, and is
sometimes referred TO as the last great
battle on English soil. Six thousand
men were left dead upon the field. The
forces of the red rose party were victo-
rious, and their victory established the
house of Tudor upon the throne of
England. After the battle all of the
leaders of the white rose forces were
found dead upon the field excepting
Lord Lovel, VINO was never seen again.
Many were the reasons given for the
disappearance of this leader i'm the
Norkist party, some asserting that he
was drowned while trying to escape
across the River Trent, the weight of
his armor keeping his body from rising
to the surface. Another report had IL
that he fled to the north. there living
n peasants life TO the end of his DAYS.
In 1I0S, however, an underground
room was discovered under the manor
house of the Lovel estate. In this Sc
cret chamber was found the skeleton
of man seated at 4 table on which
were books, paper, pens and so forth
In another part Of the room was cap.
moldered and decayed, OF ancient pat
torn This and other relics led the de.
scendants Of Lord Lovel 10 believe that
they had at last solved the mystery OF
his disappearance.

Edward Thorndlkc sums up his con.
clusion on the subject of mental ia.
tigue rs follows: Mental work is not Il
simple matter of mental energy, of
quantity of positive or inhibltory ner-
vous discharges, but of their dircctloc
as well; mental fatigue is not like
physical fatigue and requires different
treatment; its warning signs ara more
complicated, less etticacious and,
therefore, more often neglected; the
warnings that we do have are not
measures of the degree of inability,
but indefinite and nt present lll-under-
stood signs of danger; the degree of
mental inability does not vary proper
tionatcly to the amount of work done
without sufficient rest, but increases
much less quickly up TO y certain
amount of mental work, ard then may
increase much faster, so that ono s''aw
Of mental work may then break the
camel's back.
