Jacks Account of 1t.

One of Uncle Sans able seamen,
who was in an "OwP'' train that was
wrecked ,sthus described his experience:
1T was a little after two bells this
morning and l was smoking my pipe
in the Owls stern galley. The first
thing I knew of any happening was
when l was thrown violently from my
seat. After the pitching and jumping
had stopped. crawled out and saw
that the steering gear Of the 'OwP had
been carried away, causing her to part
an idships. The after end listed badly
to starboard and went aground, throw
ing all hands in a heap to the listed
side. No lives were lost, however,
though all were badly shaken up and
somewhat damaged. One unlucky pas
senger hunted the glass out Of port
hole, cutting her head and face quite
badly. After wigwagging the craft
coming up behind to change her course,
the forward end. of our craft picked up
the passengers and crew and continued
her voyage. AS for me, l will be glad
when | am safe aboard the Albatross
again. This cruising overland is too
rough and choppy for me-" -Argonaut

How Water Cause. q Fire.

One would hardly believe that q bot
tie Of water standing harmlessly on
q table could be the cause Of q fire.
Nevertheless such Is the case. In my
laboratory the other day detected the
odor of burning wood and, seeking the
cause. noticed a tiny wreath Of smoke
rising from the counter. Setting aside
a flask of water that stood close by I
sponged over the burning spot with a
damp cloth. Shortly after l again de-
tected the odor of burning wood, when.
to my surprise, l discovered another
burning spot on the table close to the
water flask. The flask was standing
in the sunlight, thereby concentrating
the rays to a focus on the top of the
table. acting in this case as burning
glass. A handful of highly combusti-
BILE material was thrown over the burn
ing spot, catching fire almost immedi-
ately.

Did you ever stop to think, you who
read the advertisement in the newspa-
pers. just what it means to get up the
lad" every day for a big department
store? The man in charge usually has
q staff Of assistants, who are assigned
to certain departments Of the store
each day. They must familiarize them
selves with the stock Of these depart
ments, while the manager of the ad-
vertising department himself is sup
posed to keep thoroughly in touch
with the entire stock Of the store. He
writes the general introduction to the
advertisement each day and edits the
copy turned in to him by his assistants,
Just as an editor handles the copy of
his reporters.
"Just as much care is taken with
this matter as though it were so much
imperishable literature" said the ad-
vertising manager of big department
store. You sometimes hear of a ia
nous author spending hours over one
paragraph, writing it and rewriting it
to get the best and strongest effect.
You wouldn't think that would be nee
essary in writing an advertisement,
but it is. My assistants sometimes
spend an hour over one sentence. There
is more science in writing an adver-
tisement that will bring results than
perhaps in any other form of compO-
sition." Record.

small cupola in the center. 1t has five
windows, from each Of which steps
descend. but only in one instance to the
floor, and a gallery runs round the
whole interior of the building. The
