Where was there a Drawer man, |
wonder, than Sir Richard Burton?
Once, though, his face paled and his
breath came in gusts. a ghost did it, of
course, and this was the manner of it:
Burton was told of a house in London,
quite a poor sort of house, by the way,
which was said to be haunted. 81 do
not believe it" replied Burton. Then he
was told that it was Il specially terri
Bile kind of ghost, and he said he didn't
believe that either. He would go and
see. To the empty house Ghe three last
tenants had been found dead in bed,
and such things get talked about went
Burton with a friend and Il dog. Come
up With me- said he to his friend, and
at his own request the companion
locked Burton in the room and took the
key down with him. II shall be all

again and Up those stairs he rushed,
two and three steps at time, you may

| work of an instant. and then into his
arms reeled Burton, almost dead with
terror. THE place is accursed,' he
gasped. "What have you SEEM" begged
the friend. Burton's head shook. mo,

seems probable. Such boards were used
at an early period by the Greeks and
Romans, and We're frequently covered
With wax, which was of course more
easily written upon than the bare
wood. Where wax was used errors were
readily erased by rubbing with the
blunt end of the piece of metal which
served for 4 pen. To make the writing
more visible it appears that some black
substance was smeared over the sur
face of the white wax and remained in
the scratched marks.

ANCIENT MARINERS.



The landlocked Mediterranean, which
was the only sea known to the Romans
and Greeks of twenty odd centuries
ago. was filled with mysterious terrors,
while the more distant lands bordering
on it We're the abodes OF wonders and
strange peoples. Gods of monstrous
shapes ruled the waters, enchanting
sirens dwelt on the islets and rocks, and
on the dry land beyond We're to be
found weird enchantresses, fire breath
ing beasts, fierce pygmies and dreadful
cannibals. Adventurous voyaGers who
got as far as the pillars Of Hercules,
now called the strait of Gibraltar,
ocean beyond was not navigable. 1t
was part of the mighty river which
flowed around the fiat earth in an un-
ending stream.
Tradition says that there was in those
times at Gibraltar a stone pillar 100 GU
bits high, with brass statue on it and
an inscription stating this to be the linn
it Of navigation. Beyond was 'sea of
darkness infested with terrors beyond
the power of the imagination to con-
ceive. Occasionally a bold navigator
did, nevertheless. venture outside into
the Atlantic, but was compelled to turn
back very quickly. A whirlwind would
arise and threaten to swamp the vessel
or, more alarming still, a gigantic hand
supposed to be that Of Satan, would
emerge from the ocean of eternal gloom
and warn back the mariners.
Not merely on these accounts was
the ocean impracticable for ships. II
was reported to be so dense with salt
ness and so crowded with seaweeds ant
huge beasts that Roadway could not be
made through it. Even up to the time
of Columbus such beliefs prevailed
and his crews were terrified on entering
the Saragossa sea by the weeds anC
