BENEFITS YACHTING.

His yachting experience was of much
benefit TO James Gordon Bennett, as an
incident will show.
Whats the news this evening""
asked Mr.. Bennett one night, dropping
into the city room.
"A National liner has just arrived
with the captain, crew and passengers
of 'Amerique-nobody lost
What are the circumstances? he
asked with animation.
The French boat became unman-
ageable; the engines broke down; Cap
tain Lamaria hoisted distress signals,
and, when the British steamer came
along, abandoned his ship. Captain
Queen of the British boat put a prize
crew on the derelict. Then the French
man wanted to return to his ship and
resume command; but the Britisher
wouldn't let him. So Frenchy is not
mad and sWears he will have the Brit
isher's commission taken from him.
Mr.. Bennett listened attentively, in
ally exclaining:
That's good, Now, what do you say
Did the Englishnan do right in STOP
ping Lamaria g return? Will he be
sustained"
The city editor took an even chance
and boldly said:
Captain Queen is undoubtedly right;
the sea belongs to no man, and prop
erty once abandoned thereon goes to
the finder
You are right" promptly added Mr..
Bennett. TN tell you why 1 know

FIRST PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The city of Charleston boasts of the
first public library in this country sup
ported by public funds. In the year
1898 the South Carolina assembly ap
propriated a substantial sum OF money
for the purchase of books for a public
library. The lords proprietors supple
mented the appropriation later, and
the library was governed by officials
appointed by the assembly, under the
Oldest library laws of America.
In 1I49 officers of a library society
were elected in Charleston, and soon
had a membership of one hundred and
sixty. At the time of the revolution
this society owned between six and
seven thousand books, besides pamph-
let's and philosophical instruments, all
of which save about two hundred vol
umes. We're destroyed by the great fire
of ITS. The society, however, pre-
served it's identity, began the labor of
collection, and in 1886 removed to the
building which it now occupies. 1t was
endowed in 1900 with the property, real
and personal of the South Carolina
Jockey club, including the historic
Washington race course, now leased by
the Charleston exposition
The society's collection includes

TOWARD EARTH'S CENTER.

In the course of his experiments,
made with the view of endeavoring to
utilize the heat of the earth for COM
mercial purposes, Professor William
Hallock has discovered that there is no
fixed rule governing the increase of the
temperature as progress is made to-
ward the center.
Professor Hallock has lowered ther-
mometers into the wells near Pittsburg
and Wheeling, and found an increase
of one degree for every so feet. The
temperature of the PittSburg we'll at
the bottom is 1919 degrees. Other eX-
periments elsewhere yield very differ
ent results. The temperature at the
bottom of the Calumet and Hecla mine,
at Hougton, Mich, 1000 feet below the
surface, is not more than 100 degrees.
The heat of the 2,500-foot level in the
Comstock lode is 145 degrees. How
ever, though the increase varies IN
different localities, the fact is clearly
demonstrable that the heat of the
earth's crust grows gradually greater
from the surface inward. Professor
Hallock says:
There would be not the slightest
difficulty in obtaining steam from tine
earth'S interior, because that involves
merely a little extra labor in boring
down into the very hot area, and it is
as easy, comparatively, to bore 10000
feet as it is to bore 5000; but, in order
to give the steam commercial value a
method must be provided for dropping
the water to the hot area, allowing it
time to heat. and yet having it re-
turned to the surface as steam, with
out for moment interrupting the
flow"

NAVAJO SAND-PAINTING.

Sand painting by the Navajo Indians
is a great religious rite, says the New
York Herald Sand for the ground
which has burned through other cere-
monies is first removed and all traces
of it covered with sand.
The colors used are made from
ground pigments, sprnkled on with the
thumb and forefinger. Pieces of bark
serve as paint cups. The colors are
yellow, red and white from sandStonas:
black from charcoal and a grayish
blue, formed OF white sand and char
coal, with a very small quantity of
yellow and red sands. The eye usually
is the only guide for drawing lines, al
though sometimes a weaving stick is
used.
The pictures represent gods and god
desses. The gods carry in their right
hands Il rattle and in their left sprigs
of pinon; the goddesses carry pinon III
both hands. The rattle and the pinon
bring the rain. After the paintings are
completed the priests sprinkle them
with sacred meal and water. When
the ceremony is finished the people
hasten to take sand from the hearts,
heads and limbs of the figures to rub
upon themselves.
These sand paintings are begun at
sunrise and often not finished until in
the afternoon, although the artists
work with great rapidity. The ming
ling of the colors is most beautiful.
