A HOMILY FOR NoVELIsTs.
Andrew Lang on Their Responsibilities
and Limitations.
From the London Post.

tue lonuoH
Now, the responsibilities of the novelist
are obvious. His business in the scheme
of things is to entertain and amuse the
leisure of many women of some boys, of a
few men. He ought to shun all that can
lower the moral tone some;" he ought to
write grammar, he may even avoid a style
compact Of journalistic commonplaces He
should not venture on describing modes of
life and strata of society of which he knows
so little to think that coroneted guests
crowd into the "refreshment room" of
Belgravian mansion at 9:36 pm. He ought
in fact, to have an ordinary knowledge of
letters, and not to announce that heaven
spared the city of Sodom because of the
righteousness of Lot. A very popular novel
list. a favorite with preachers, does make
these errors, but he ought to avoid them,
just he should not write of undergrad
uate life without being aware that colleges
have porterS, and that medicine is not one
of the chief subjects of study at Oxford as
another novelist appears at one time to
have fondly imagined. 1 may also think
that the responsibilities Of a novelist in
clude the duty of stunning such fables as
the statement that Queen Mary escaped
from Loeb Leven into Rutlandshire on the
English border but here 1 may be pedan-
tic.
Men, voters, read the newspapers, and even
listen to political sermons in some religious
circles. They seldom read novels and still
more rarely do men take their facts and
IDEAS from novels. The novelist does not
reach the greatest audience
reach a much larger audience-and few of
the novelist's congregation accept him as
anything but a more or less entertaining
companion for a vacant hour. 1t is the
novelist, the third-rate novelist, who has
pulled himself UP with this insane conceit
about his own Importance Dickens or the
author of Uncle Toms Cabin" or Charles
Reade could give vogue to the discussion eff
the poor laws, or of slavery, jails, but
these cases are rare. and neither author
could prove anything in a novel. The hun
dred and fifty thousand readers of some
popular trashy third hand historical novel
do not believe what the author says
they do not expect truth from professed
story teller. If any are so credulous as to

HISTORY OF THE ANCHOR.
Various improvements That Have Been
Made in It's Shape.
From Science Strings.

From Science Siftings.
The ships anchors in general use up TO
the beginning of the last century consisted
of a long, round iron shank having Two
comparatively short straight arms or
fukes, inclined to the shank at an angle Of
about 40 degrees, and meeting 1t in some
what sharp point at the crown. In large
anchors the bulky wooden stock was built
up of several pieces, hooped together, the
whole tapering outward to the ends, es-
pecially on the aft or cable SIDE. About
the beginning of the last century clerk in
the Plymouth naval yard Pering by name.
suggested certain improvements. the most
important of which was making the arms
curved instead of straight. At first sight
this simple change may seem of little yaIue,
but consideration will show that tbs is not
the case. The holding power of an anchor
depends on two principal conditions, name
ly, the extent of useful holding surface
and the amount of vertical penetration.
The latter quality is necessary on account
of the nature of ordinary sea bottoms. the
| surface layers of which are generally less
tenacious and resisting than is the ground
a short distance below. t..s-.
In the year 1881 chain cables began to
supersede the hempen ones, with the re-
suit that the long-shanked anchors hitherto
in vogue were no longer necessary, and
anchors with shorter shanks and with
heavier and stronger crowns gradually
came into use. In consequence of these
Changes, d COMMISSION was appointed In
the year 1893 to inquire into the holding
power of anchors. and principal result of
it's labors was the adoption of the so-called
admiralty pattern anchor. which continued
to be used in the navy up to the year 1869.
The invention of the steam hammer. in
1872 made the welding of heavy masses
of iron comparatively easy and reliable
process, so that from this time onward the
strength of anchors fully kept pace with
that of the chain cables, which had come
into general use.
A number Of patents for anchors were
taken out prior to the great exhibition OF
1851, and. public attention having been
called to the models there shown, in the
following year a committee was appointed
by the admiralty to report on the qualifica-
tons of anchors of the various kinds
Practical trials were then instituted, and.
as a result, Trotmans anchor took the
highest place Rodgers anchor being sec
ond on the list. Some of the tests to which
the anchors were submitted were of doubt.

GHOSTS OF ELEPHANTSp
A Superstition Of the Natives of an
Asiatic Region.

From the Singapore Straits Budget
In the last number of the journal of the
Straits branch of the Royal Asiatic Society
there appears an interesting article from
the pen Of A. D. Machado on the supposed
evil influence of ghosts. He says:
Some years ago, when l was engaged In
certain prospecting operations in the high
lands of Pahang, on the borders of that
state with Perak. had occasion to make a
somewhat lengthy stay at place called
Kampar, on the Tue river, one of the trib-
utaries Of the Betok. in its turn a tributary
Of the Jelai the principal feeder of the Pa
hang river. l selected this spot because it
had already been cleared of large trees and
had only recently been In occupation as a
Sakai settlement from the remains of which
we reared our unpretentious little camp
The Sakais. however, strongly advised us to
go elsewhere. alleging that this place was
haunted by elephant ghosts, and that they
had been the direct cause of number of
deaths. principally among their children,
whose remains lie buried there.
1T is necessary to explain that at the
back Of this place, not fifty yards away. is
to be seen one of those peculiar muddy pools
which animals of all kinds frequent for
their saline properties, this particular one
being known as the Kubang Gajah Hantu
(the mud pool of the ghostly -elephants)
in Malay. When the Sakais refer to this
place 1t is usually with bated breath and a
mysterious and awesome gesture. These
men declared that almost nightly elephants
are seen and heard breaking twigs and
branches and waIlowing in this mud pool
and yet in the morning not vestige Of
their spoor can be seen anywhere. OF this
l am certain; the prints of deer and pigs
were always plentiful and fresh, but no
elephants could have been within miles of
the place during my residence in thai To-
cality. My mandor's wife. an oldish per-
son, who always followed her husband in
his journeys, doing the cooking for my fol-
lowers. declared that the first night we
slept there she and all my men heard con-
tinued long-drawn walls, like long wee-e-
go. which went on without intermission
until almost daylight. This noise, they said
came from those Sakai children buried
there.
This account is interesting from an eth
biological standpoint, In SO far as 1t films
trates the beliefs and superstitions of a
race OF very primitive people. As for the
number OF children dying at the time, this
would only seem natural when 1t is remem-
bered that an epidemic OF measles was then
and had been for some time raging"

ANALYSIS OF THE PEERAGE
Makeup of the British Aristocracy of

From the London Truth.

From the London Truth.
Progress is revolution in disguise and by

said: 1T is destined to make the peers DOW

scription will remind many of the phrase
uttered by Cromwell There Will never be
a good time in England till we have done

What is the value of our peerage of to-
day? Lord Beaconsfield answered the ques-
ton in Coningsby'' many years ago:
Ancient lineage, said Mr.. Millbank L
never heard of peer with an ancient lin
cage. The real old families of this country
are to be found among the peasantry: the
gentry, too. may lay some claim to old

novelty. No, no; the thirty years wars OF

Norman baron was almost rare a being
in England as wolf Is now
IL have always understood said Con-
ingsby. that our peerage was the finest in
Europe
From themselves said Millbank; and
the heralds they pay TO paint their car
riages. But go to facts. When Henry VII
called MS HTst parliament tfeTt were Oily
twenty nine temporal peers to be found. and
even some of them took their seats illegally,
for they had been attained. or those twen-
ty-nine not five remain: and they as the
Towards. for instance. are not Norman
nobility. We owe the English peerage to
three sources-the spoliation OF the church,
the open and fragrant sale of honors by the
elder Stuarts. and the borough mongering
of our own times. Those are the three main
sources of the existing peerage OF England,
and in my opinion disgraceful ones
Lord Beaconsfield might have added

wit the bestowal of honors upon the mis-
tresses of the kings and their illegitimate
children. This decorous nation. therefore.
delights to honor those who have inherited
titles from such shameful sources.
