THE EGYPTIAN MAZE.

out no solution to the great puzzle OF
human existence. He tried to solve
the mystery of death, but the nearest

whatever he has discovered is only
what every one must discover for
himself without any assistance from
the dead.

them except as long as they bafhed

the fashion of the puzzle blocks. The
other morning he left his home and

Ice Tor Almost century,
but seven years the second war with
Great Britain broke out. The boat
was then owned and commanded by
CePt. Jeduthan Upton. a patriot, who
fitted his tiny vessel up with cannon,
put on board an armed crew of 20
men and started out as a privateer
to prey on British shipping few
months after the Polly was captured
by his British majesty's ship Phoebe,
Of Al guns. The captain and his men
were taken to England, where they
were imprisoned for seven months.
the prize crew placed on board the
Polly, however, revolted and went
over into the. service of the United
States.
At the present time the Polly is
owned and com handed by Capt Nc
Earland, of Calais, Ne. For 90 years
It has been known as one of the fast
est sailing vessels on the north coast,
aud it can still show clean pair of
f-sels to many of its more modern
rivals. It has been a long time since
the Polly made regular ocean voy-
age. It is now employed in trading
between ports on the Maine coast

The recent storm on the Atlantic

one of the. more fortunate of the
coasting feet. The Polly is older
than most men. for it was built in
Amesbury. Mass, in 1905. If the hull

Philadelphia Man who Invented the

II. A. Mahood. of Philadelphia, the
inventor OF many puzzles, killed him
self recently one week after he had
worked two solutions to the "Egyp-
tian maze" which experts declared
was not capable of being worked out.
Mahood had invented the puzzle
himself, then he solved it just as ne
has solved hundreds of other puzzles.
There was only one puzzle which he
seemed unable to solve, and that was
the puzzle of life. He worked out
solutions to "the fifteen" and the

Testing warship..

The naval authorities have recently
completed in the navy yard at Wash
ington a wonderful experimental basin
for testing the behavior of.model war
ships.
Few people are probably aware that
when a new battleship is proposed a
model is first made In wood o. wax and
subjected to a series OF tests before the
keel is laid. The idea. Of course, is to
first ascertain whether the proposed
craft will fulfill the claims of It's de-
signers before the contract Is given out
for It's erection.
BY this means many thousands ot
dollars are saved every year, for ideas
which look very we'll on paper are
found to be impraeticable when SUBJ
jeeted to actual experiment.
The basin at Washington, which has
been built at a cost of 81, 250, 900, boasts
of many interesting appliances for test
ing these curious little models. II is
40 feet ong, AZ feet s inches in width,
while the water in the middle OF the
tank is IA feet 8 inches deep. A mil
lion gallons Of water are required To
fill the huge basin. Although II takes
a week TO I'LL the tank, 1t can be pump
ed dry In four hours by a twelve inch
centrifugal pump. electrically driven.
The filling occupies 30 much time be-
cause the water passes through a series
OF filters. and before reaching the lit
tie lake is treated with a minute guam
tity Of alum, which coagulates with any
mud present
