a CaroIine I.Innd. Leeena.

The Caroline islands group includes
besides coral islands five mountainous
islands of basaltic formation, beautiful
and fertile with rivers and springs.
Among the many queer legends of
these children of the Pacific there is
none mere highly improbable than
their theory as to the origin of these is
lands and their inhabitants. They
think they themselves were very strong
in the water-in fact, they lived in it.
The story goes that a woman and her
children were floating around on the
reef when a man appeared from the
west with a basket of soil on his shout
ders. He had started out to make an
island with a mountain on 1t. One of
the children cried out to him, Give US
little soil to make a place for our
mother to rest, for she is very weak
and cannot SWIM He took out a
handful of the earth and threw it
down, making an island. AS the man
was going on his way over the water
the son slyly made hole in the bas-
ket, so as he proceeded on his way he
left trail of land behind. Suddenly
he became conscious that the basket
seemed light. and, looking around, he
saw the land. In his anger he turned
about and trod upon it, and thus the is
lands were formed.

A MUTUAL SURPRISE.
The Meeting Between an Ambitious
Hunter and His First Grizzly.

In sketches of Life In the Golden
State" Colonel Albert S. Evans tells an
amusing anecdote of an ambitious
hunter who met his first grizzly bear
in procession The incident occurred
ent town OF Monterey.
The hunter sat down to rest in the
shade of a tree and unwittingly went
to sleep. When he woke. 1T was near
sunset, and he sat up. rubbing his eyes
and contemplating a return to his hotel
several miles distant.
just then a rustling and cracking
noise from a elump of chaparral about
100 yards away attracted his attention.
Out walked grizzly bear, monarch
Of his kind. He yawned, licked his
jaws and tfen advanced toward the
tree where our hunter sat- but evident
~ was unconscious of his presence.
His grizzly majesty had proceeded
about 90 PAGES when female bear fol-
lowed him, and an instant later a third
grizzly followed her at slow, sham
bling pace.
The hunter sat spellbound with ter
ror as the. procession came toward him
until the forward grizzly was within
80 yards. Then, scarcely realizing
what he did, he sprang to his feet and
uttered frenzied yell-yell upon yell!
The effect was magical. The fore
most bear sprang into the air, turned
sharply about, knocked the female
down. rolled over her. gathered himself
up and bolted like 40 carloads Of
rock going down a shoot" straight for
the chaparral again, the other two
bears close at his heels and never turn
ing to see what had frightened them.
The hunter, seeing the enemy re-
treating, sprang to his feet and fed at
top speed for the hotel, leaving hat and
gun behind. The truth of his wild and
startling tale was proved the next day
by the numerous bear tracks of differ
ent sizes found in the marshy ground
near by. But the three bears had gone
off beyond pursuit.

SINKING SHIPS.
They Don't Linger In NIidocean, but
Go to the Bottom.

=
Go to the Bottom.
What becomes of the ships that sink
at sea? Do they go all the way to the
bottom or do they meet somewhere I'M
der the surface certain pressure that
buoys them up and holds them In equi-
librium? Somebody, we forget who it
is, has given rein to his grewsome fan
cy and pictured all the ships that have
been lost in midocean as wandering
about like so many ghosts half way be-
tween the surface and the bottom.
There is no foundation whatever for
such a notion, though many persons
have 1t. Any object that will sink be-
meath the surface of the sea viii go all
the way to the bottom. The pressure
encountered on thesway down. which is
simply enormous IN the deeper parts,
has nothing to- do with the objects
sinking, for it is exerted on the object
as well as on the water, thus equalizing
the conditions.
/. The reason why the object sinks to the
bottom is that water is not compressi-
BILE; at least it is so little so that its den
sity at the bottom of the sea is only tri-
fie greater than it is at the surface. Sci
entists tell us that the water at the bot
tom is just about as much denser than
the water at the surface as sea water
is denser than fresh water.
This slight difference in density,
therefore, does not and cannot stop the
downward course of sinking ship or
any object that is heavy enough to
sink rapidly beneath the surface. Pres
sure, as we have said, is not a factor
in the case at all.-Chicago Record.
