Christian Science offers itself to the
world as something more than a school
OF therapeutics; it holds forth for ac-
ceptance a system of belief with respect
to God, man, sin, death and the world
unseen; nay, more even than this. It laws
down maxims Of conduct and undertakes
to dot with guide-posts the map of hu-

mo doubt such sights would be much
commoner if we had better light 10
work in; but for the most part we move
in sort of shifting twilight. Often,
especially in the case of opera tons in the
interior of wrecks, we are in total dark
ness, forcing us to depend altogether on
our sense of touch and our general knowl-
edge of the plan and construction of the
ship. The wreck of the Maine was,
with that of the Viscaya, one of the rare
examples where the contrary was the
case. l could see to read ordinary print
in The captains cabin, and il wasn't nee
essary 90 stand under the hatchway to
do IT,, either. Up forward, where most
of the damage was DONE there was a de-
post of finely powdered white coral
which, on the least disturbance of the
water, would rise up in a cloud, so that
l could not see anything a foot from my
face. But by keeping perfectly still for
five or ten minutes the dust would settle;
and then l could take in my surroundings
with comparative ease. No wreck is
pretty thing. / have seen some that we
had to blow to pieces with dynamite, and

sights as any well could be, But after I

were ripped through like paper, and pom
derous steel beams had been snapped off
like sticks of glass. The forward turret,
with its two ten-inch guns, weighing in
all nearly two hundred tons, had been
torn from it's fastenings, and hurled no
