long before the Swede had fight on
with his watchmates. He beat one en-
tirely and fought another to stand
still and was severely mauled himself.
A week later the mate called him
down for incompetence. The Swede
answered back, whereupon the mate,
small man with a stiff leg, slapped his
face This the Swede accepted meek
ly and afterwards was kicked several
times by the same mate, but never
made anY show of resistance. And
the man the Swede had previously
knocked out was twice the mates size.
An incident which occurred in a
sailors home in England further illus
trates the seaman's fear of authority.
A new arrival at the home was
walking UP and down the corridor
when he swung suddenly around on
a man who had passed him.
Hey" he shouted, "ain't your name
Sam Smart?"
Yes" replied the other.
WAS you ever second mate on the
Typhoon?"
YES"
Remember me?"

"Well. I am Tim Smith that sailed
with you four years ago on the Ty
phoon. You licked me four times that
trip; now I am going to lick you once
as good as those four"
And before anybody could interfere
Tim Smith had knocked out his old
bucko mate. In such a case interfer-
ence would have been considered I'M
seamanlike.

a hundred feet. He landed on the
canvas tarpaulin of a boat, bounded off
and rolled over onto the main hatch.
OF course, everybody thought the man
dead, but when all hands gathered
around him he showed signs of life.
The fall on the boat had saved him.
Presently he rose to a sitting posi-
ton and rubbed his head in a dazed
fashion.
How dye feel, Johnson" asked
the captain, anxiously.
The captains voice seemed to bring
Johnson's senses back to him. He
rose slowly to his feet, glaring wildly
at the captain and at a piece of the
foot-rope he still held fast in his hand.
He deliberately Julled off his jumper
and threw it upon deck.
"Capn," he said, slowly you said
that foot-rope was all right. Cap'n,
you was a damn liar. Now you come
on and I smash your jaw. give you
all the fight you want. Come on,
now"
But for the first time on record Capt.
Murphy took water He wouldn't fight
that kind of Il man.
The Fear of Authority.
Unlike this particular Norwegian,
few sailors, no matter how reckless,
win defy the authority of an officer.
That fear is deep bred.
In one fOrecastle I was in there was
a big six-foot Swede who had spent
all his life at sea on cOasting schoon-
eTs, and consequently was not much of
a seaman on a square-rigged vessel.

Man Who CIings to Isolation.
This man is by no means a rare char
acter. On the contrary, most men who
live alone are like him. A few weeks
ago an American passed by Sombrero
Island on voyage from Trinidad to
New York. 1t is a precipitous rock on
which the British government main
tains lighthouse; and is the most
northerly of the Caribbean Islands.
What a lonely spot for a lighthouse
keeper" exclaimed the passenger. "Ie
must be miserable man."
Not at all" said one of the ships
officers "He enjoys it, He's the only
man on the island, and he never cares
to leave it. He's been there for years,
and absolutely refuses to take a wife
or mate to live with him. He is en-
titled to regular holidays, but he won't
take them. The government, fearing
that he will go mad, almost begs him
TO take a change now and then, but he
always says he'd rather stay.
"Once he was persuaded to go to An
suiiid for d months holiday. AnSuill2
is tiny island with about 1000 inhabi-
tants, and you would think it the quiet
est place on earth. But in less than a
week the lighthouse keeper said there
was too much noise and hustle, and
went back to Sombrero.
This man passes the time by tanning
the seabirds that swarm around the
lighthouse. He loves them better than
his fellow-men.
Jamaica, the Land of Solitude.
In the Island of Jamaica there are
Scotsmen living lives almost as soil
tary as if they were on desert island.
They are the planters or overseerS of
coffee, fruit, and cocoa estates. They
live in the great house" of the plan
tation, as the negroes call it, and their
nearest white neighbor lives perhaps
twenty or thirty miles away. Most of
them are young unmarried men, but
some are gray-bearded veterans of
solitude, who have lived alone all their
days and could not live any other way.
Such men as these are to be found in
all undeveloped or half-developed
countries; but Jamaica is one of their
strongholds.
During the five years that he spent
in that island. a man now in New
York became acquainted with several
of these solitaries of "the bush," as
the wilder parts of Jamaica are call
ed.
They frequently do not see another
white face for weeks, or even months,
at a time. There is nothing to prevent
them from mixing with their kind if
they chose. In the country districts

Since Robinson Crusoe" was written
the castaway on a desert island has
been q favorite character in fiction.
Novelist after novelist has told how
the man, on the morning after the
wreck, puts up tall pole on the sea-
shore and ties his shirt to it in order
to attract the notice of passing ships.
For months or years he lives upon
the island, utterly miserable because
he is isolated from his kind, and when
at last the long looked-for sail rises
above the horizon he goes nearly mad
with joy.
That is the way of the imaginative
novelist. The truthful novelist would
show a Robson Crusoe who grew to
love his island solitude, and hated the
idea of leaving it and mixing with
his fellow-men again.
Everybody who has Travelled in out
of-the-way places knows that solitude
has a wonderful fascination over al
most all men after they have expe-
rienced it for some little time and got
over its strangeness. There are thou
sands of men in various parts of the
world who live lives as solitary as did
Robinson Crusoe, simply because they
prefer such existence to the society of
their fellows.
A Man who Fought for Solitude.
The captain of a West Indian banana
steamer tells a curious story of an adj
venture which happened to him in the
South Seas when he was the first mate
of a British tramp.
On a voyage from Cape Town to
Wellington, New Zealand. his vessel
passed close to a coral slet Looking
through his telescope, he saw a white
man clothed in rags, standing on the
beach. Knowing the place to be a
desert island, the captain concluded
that the man was d castaway, and sent
a boat ashore under command of the
first mate to rescue him.
AS soon as he saw the boat leave
the ships side the man ran away into
the jungle, which covered most of the
islet. Thinking he was mad, the boats
crew searched for half an hour until
they found him concealed beneath
some bushes.
Come along, my man." said the
mate, gently and soothingly. why did
you run away? We want to take you
home"
81 do not wish to co." replied the
man, in an educated, refined voice. Il
shall not go unless 1 am carried. I
came here ten years ago, because
wished to be alone and quiet. 1 have
everything 1 wish for, thank you, ex-
cept solitude at this present moment.
Pardon me if l seem inhospitable, but
will you be good enough to take what
you want and go away? 1 may eX-
plain that the craving for solitude is
almost a monomania with me-"
but why on earth did you run
away?" asked the mate, in amazement.
Pm sure we don't want to take you
if you don't want to come"
You are more considerate than most
people, then" was the reply. Several
ships have stopped here during the last
ten years, and usually the captains
seemed inclined to take me away by
force. They thought me mad, which
/ am not. l only escaped abduction
last time by hiding"
Can we do anything for you? Pro-
visions? Tools? Books?' the mate
queried.
The man smiled.

CRYSTALS AND GEMS.
Beauties That May BE Observed
Through Magnifying Glass,

Through n Magnifying Glass.
From Mines and Minerals
Sketching crystals is fine and deli
cate work, requiring much study, a
sharp pointed, hard pencil and a steady
hand. First of all, having selected
your nest of crystals, it is well to
study all the books have to say about
them-their angles, cleavage planes,
luStre, etc.-then take a large ore mag
nifying glass and examine them close
ly under it. An unexpected world
of beauty will thus often be revealed.
If the crystals are in a little geode or
cavity, such as is common in the
zeolite class in volcanic rocks, you
may see the fairy-like cavern lined
with sparkling gems, from which ra-
diant tufts of fine silken hairs with
a big gem crystal set in the midst,
sometimes the caverns contain purple
gems of amethyst or fluorspar. You
will observe crystals that have been
stunted in their growth or missnapen
by the pressing against them of other
stronger growing crystals. You may
see fine striae or parallel lines or in
dications of twinning of crystals: you
will notice also the lines of cleavage
characteristic of certain crystals and
invisible to the naked eye, also crys-
tails that have been broken and faulted
and recemented by mineral matter.
Having thus thoroughly studied the
crystals place them on a piece of white
paper in strong light and shadow. Draw
the outlines clear and strong and the
angles and faces of the crystal sharp
ly. Some crystals resemble one an
other so closely, like certain forms of
col Nf To n ~
careful drawing can one be distin-
guished from the other, especially
without the use of color. In highly
colored ores and crystals some beau
tiful realistic effects have been at
tanned by photo-lithograph In colors
but many ores and crystals have no
distinctive colors; then you must rely
on form. Again, some forms of crys-
tails are identical in form with Others
of an entirely different color. Shading
especially r. transparent CRYSTALS
should be used sparingly, except when
the shadow is very pronounced, or
when the bases of the crystals descend
into the dark depths and recesses Of
the geode cavern. To bring out dis
tinctly the forms of white or translu-
cent crystals it may be well to shade
a dark background back of them.
Sometimes a row of quartz crystals
in the center of a vein is locked in
the embrace of an opposite set, like a
row of clenched teeth. Occasionally
these are beautifully tinted with anne
thystine, purple, while back of them
is layer of milky white opaline
quartz, agate or chalcedony, and back
of that a dense layer of red, yellow
or variegated jasper. In drawing crys-
tails the main point to be aimed at is
their characteristic shape or grouping,
so that any one seeing the sketch may
recognize them as belonging to par
ticular family. When crystals are very
small, as in twin crystals of tin, or
in crystals of telluride ores, it is le-
climate to magnify the crystal so as
to bring out its distinctive features.
Some ores form series of concentric
rings, like green malachite and blue
azurite of copper; they had better be
represented by their natural vivid col
ors.

II object to being sat upon about the

was smarting under a criticism about the
collection of dust on her skirt. 1T is more
'riling when the dust has been collected on

cism. Nobody seems to understand that a

AS matter of fact a skirt would have to

prove it you have but to watch little girls

their shoe tops the more they brush the
steps which are so often in a dreadful con-
dition. A walking length skirt is valuable
possession. 1t has its limitations however
and the woman who is to take in a business

will necessarily wear a long dress Another
thing. If mud spatters on mans trousers
