NAVIGATION ON THE LAKES.
Sailing Vessels Long Held Sway, but
Now Yield to Steamers.

From the Detroit Free, Press.
1t was early in the spring of 1870 that
sailing vessels were first seen on the great
lakes. They were constructed according
to European design, the first one being
known as the Griffon, a vessel whose tom
mage has been variousy stated at from
forty-f1ve to sixty. 1t was built by La
Sale at the mouth of Cayuga creek, near
Niagara, and was the first vessel other
than a canoe that ever navigated the De-
trcit river. Its arrival, August u. 1879 at
the little lake now known as Lake st.
Clair, was on the day devoted to a festival
in that saints honor, and those early navi-
gators thought it was but right that the
success Of their first effort should be mark
ed by bestowing on the body of water in
which they anchored their new boat the
name of the saint commemorated by the
day of their arrival. AS is well known,
their suggestion at that time has found
favor and the name thus bestowed re-
mains the same today.
One hundred years after the launching
of the Chiffon the shipbuilding industry
became part of the commercial pursuits
followed in Detroit and in 1869 the Enter
prise was launched, and two years later a
boat of forty-fve tons, called the Angelica,
was built. Then followed a steady access
sion in this regard until the lake COM
merce was thoroughly established.
The passing of the sailing vessel is d.
rectly attributable to the use of tugs on
the river and lakes From the construc-
ton of these aids in the progress of navi-
cation was gradually evolved the steam
boat of today. Briggs. schooners and sloops
held sway on the lakes from the time of
the building of the Enterprise until August
p, 1918, when the Observation-Disclosures, the
first steamboat to appear on the lakes, ar
rived in Detroit. Its arrival was greeted
enthusiastically and for nearly three years
1t was the only steam vessel navigating the
lakes. 1t was wrecked near Buffalo No
vember ], 1891,
The following year the Superior appeared
and was the only steamer to navigate the
Detroit river and Lake Erie until 1895,
when six other boats were placed in SER
vice. From that time on the steamboat
service was gradually Increased and one
by one the sailing vessels were displaced
until at the present time. SO far as Detroit
is concerned. but one appears to give pres
tige to the mighty power Of long ago on
the lakes. This change, marking as it does
the passing of the sailing vessel In this
vicinity. has taken place within the last
ten years.

show how they do this, Mr.. Spencer the
other day touched with stick the tentacles
of one of the large ones, which were trans
lucent and resembled the petals of a Japa-
nese chrysanthemum in shape. Imme-
diately the anemone, which had the appear
ance of a white turnip, folded it's tentacles
inward and drew the whole bunch down in
side of its mouth. Soon it thrust them out
again.
1t is necessary to feed the sea anemones
at the aquarium, as the water is still, and
they therefore have no opportunity to catch
food for themselves. To these large turnip-
like anemones, which have muscular capaci-
ty for contracting themselves from a length
OF six or seven inches to length of one or
two inches, is fed piece of clam as large
as finger nail. This is put on the tenta-
Giles and poked into the stomach body of the
animal.

He Didn't Say 1t.

He was good little boy, and he
lived not many miles from Boston He
never disobeyed his mother, he never
called her names when her orders were
not his wishes, and he had the face OF
an angel. Next door lived little Rosy,
girl who proved the proverb about
small pitchers One day Harry was
allowed to go over to play with Rosy,
but with strict orders not to take off
his hat and coat to go in the house if
Rosy could not come out into the yard.
Rosy could not come out, but would
not Harry take off his things and play
inside? Harry quoted sadly his moth
er's injunction.
"Your mamma is silly" said Rosy
GROSSLY.
Harry went home and told his mother
what Rosy had said ''She is very
naughty little GIRL" his mother de-
clared. you must never say such a
word"
mo, mamma, won't" said the duti-
full Harry.
A few days later he was again for
hidden to do something which he great
ly desired to do. Mamma" said he.

remember what Rosy said about your

Origin Of Old GLORY.

In the "reminiscences of Lord Ronald
Cover is found story of the origin OF
the stars and stripes.
The "star spangled banner of the
American republic has its origin from
an old brass on the floor of Brington
church, in Northamptonshire. The
brass covers the tomb of one Robert
Washington and is dated 1922 On II
appears the Washington coat of arms
consisting of three stars. with bars OF
stripes beneath them. On the first day
of the new year, 1916 the thirteen
united colonies raised a standard al
Washington's headquarters.
This introduced the stripes of the
present, but retained the crosses of st
George and ST. Andrew on a blue
ground in the corner In 1777 the cross
es were replaced by stars, as the Dec
laration of Independence rendered the
retention Of the English element unnec
essary and inconvenient. In thus adopt
ing the arms of his ancestors as his
own distinctive badge Washington nc
doubt intended the flag merely as .
private signal for his own personal fol
lowing. but it was at once adopted az
national emblem. Probably there Ii
not another case In the worlds history
In which the private arms of an OBJ
scure family have attained such world
wide eminence and repute.

A scotch Ring.

The traditional history of the Scotch
regalia ring is of the most tragic, not
to say melancholy, character. 1t Is be-
lieved that it was the favorite ring Of
Mary Stuart and that after her judicial
murder in Fotheringay castle it was
transmitted to her son. From James it
descended to Charles l., at whose coro-
nation at Scone in 1858 1t played a dis
tinct part. Once more did this i'll fated
ring figure at an untimely and Ill merit
ed death, for, with almost his last
breath upon the scaffold at Whitehall,
Charles bequeathed it to Bishop Juxon
in trust for his son.
In due course of time the ring came
into the possession of James II. and
was carried away with him on his
flight to the continent When, however,
he was detained by the fishermen at
Sheerness, the ring, which had been
secreted in the kings underclothing,
only escaped robbery by the luckiest Of
mistakes on the part of the sailor who
searched him. Thus the ring was pass
ed on uninjured to James descendants
till by the bequest Of Cardinal York it
became the property Of the reigning
dynasty once more and was by them re-
placed among the royal jewels of Scot
land from which it had been separated
for many long year.-GOod Words.
