AN OlD-TlME SAILOR.
@~~@~@w@~@wwwww@~ 900


capt. Moses Brown. of Newburyport,
famous as a priyateersman during the
revolution and later an officer of the
regular army, was a man of many adj
ventures and escapes. In his biogra-
ply, recently written by E. S. Maclay,
1t is related how Capt. Brown once
came as near entering Davy Jones'
locker as any man ever did and return
aliye.'
On the way home from trip to An
tlgua he was seized with smallpox. 1t
was bad ease; the disease made swift
progress, and when still several days
from home he was pronounced dead
ny the ships doctor. His body was
seWed up in canvas, heavy shot were
placed at his feet, and he was laid
upon a board protruding from gun
port ready to be launched into the sea.
The burial service was read, and word
had been given to tip the plank and
slide the supposed corpse overheard,
when the captain thought lie saw
signs of life. He sang out just in
time:
"Be.ay, there, my lads! That man is
not deadv'
Hastily cutting open the canvas
shroud, they found him alive indeed,
and he was nursed back to health
and restored to his young bride; for
this little episode diversified the first
voyage after his honeymoon.
One would think that it could scarce
~ have been conducive to Mrs. Browns
peace of mind when her husband set
sail again; but she must have got used
to her men-folk facing the perils of
the deep, for in due time the sons fol-
lowed the father. One Of the hard
ships of the seafaring life in those
lively days is indicated when Capt.
Brown on one of his visits home notes
in his diary that it was the first time
he and one Of the sailor sons lad seen
each other in seven years, although
both still had their home together.
Capt Brown was extremely fond Of
children, and delightful postscript to
a letter written in his later years to
a daughter-in-law gives evidence both
OF an affectionate disposition and a
happy audacity in spelling:

Peculiar Rose Producing Clay is Be-
ing Shipped by the Car Load.
The soil that made Newcastle ia
nous as the American Beauty rose
city is being brought to indianapolis
to enrich the beautiful and vigorous
Indianapolis rose, which, like this
city's carnations, already has name
in American flower circles, writes the
indianapolis correspondent of the
New York Tribune. w. ]. Hasselman,
owner of the Indianapolis Flower and
Plant Company, a wholesaling con-
Germ, that has large greenhouses just
north Of Central avenue and Thirty
fourth street, shipped two car loads
CT the wonderful Newcastle rose pro-
ducing earth to Indianapolis last year
and used it with remarkable success
in his greenhouse benches. He is
just now unloading four more car
loads. The soil that is now being
shipped to Indianapolis is taken out
of one of Newcastle's streets that is
being improved. 1t is a dark colored
clay-thle kind that farmers call
white oak clay'-and it's peculiar

WHY STARS TWINKLE.
The Effect Produced Upon Them by
Air Waves.

The great aerial ocean over our
heads is made up of an infinite multi
tude of moving currents and stream
of varying density and temperature,
all in process. of continued change and
adjustment due to the heating of the
atmosphere by the sun during the
day and cooling by radiation at night,
says the Baltimore Sun. The atmos-
phere is full of little waves or stream
ing masses of air, somewhat resemb-
ling the ripples in a shallow stream
of water flowing over gravel. And il
the astronomer will point his tele-
scope on bright star and remove
the eyepiece, SO as to look directly
upon the object glass illuminated by
the light of the star he may see these
streaming currents dancing in all
their compiexity 1t is these little
waves in the air which cause the
twinkling Of the fixed stars. AS the
waves are passing before our eyes
they act like prisIns, DETECTING the
light first this way and then that, pro-
ducing flashes of the spectral colors,
and sometimes almost distinguishing
the stars, SO that mOmentarily they
appear to go out. In high, dry coun-
tries where the atmosphere is quies-
cent, these waves are generally dimin-
ished in Importance and astronomers
have noticed that in such localities
the scintillation of the stars almost
ceases. There the air is quite free
from agitating currents, and the as
tronomers can make good observa-
lions.
1t is worthy of remark that but for
the brightness of the sky the stars
could be seen in daylight. Even as
matters stand, some of the brighter
of them have been seen after sunrise
by explorers in high mountains, where
the air is very clear and the sky dark
blue. If We could go above the at
Eosphere the sky would appear per.
fectly black and stars would be visible
right close up to the sun. Astrono-
mers observe bright stars in daytime
by using long-focus telescopes, the
dark tubes of which cut off the side
light; and persons in the bottoms of
deep wells have noticed stars passing
overhead, the side light being reduced
by the great depths OF the wells.

characteristic is its adhesiveneSs
when in damp state. It can be
worked until it looks and feels ike

compact mass that holds well any FER
tilizer that may be used on it.
''The Newcastle people think that
this is the greatest rose producing SOIL
in the world" said Hasselman today
as he handled some of the clay that
was being unloaded in the green
houses, "but I am not prepared TO
say whether that is true or not. AT
all events it has given the best re-
suits in rose growing of any soil found
in Indiana and has also given New
castle national reputation as pro-
Queer of roses that cannot be sur
passed. Newcastle roses have taken
sweepstakes and other prizes in ma
tional shows. We are shipping it to
Indianapolis because it is the best
soil that we have available, and mas
much as we can get it from the streets
that are being improved in Newcastle
it is about as cheap earth as we could
get even if we sent teams out into
the country here and found passably
good clay. We have found a place
north Of Broad Ripple that seems to
have good rose growing soil, but we
have not made sufficient experiments
yet to be certain that it will produce
the results that Newcastle soil will
produce.
Newcastle has built up a wonder
full rose growing industry. Chicago
is still the rose centre of the West,
as Madison, N. j., is in the East, but
Newcastle is looming up in the list
Of our national rose centres.
"The Newcastle florists are cutting
and shipping between 100000 and
100000 roses year now, and they
go everywhere. What is it in the soil
that makes the roses grow and
bloom SO wonderfully? l don't know,
but it is there. We have very good
rose soil around Indianapolis, and it
produces a superior flower, but still
| cannot say that it equals the soil
Of Newcastle.
'All of Indiana is the best carna-
ton growing region in this country,
and possibly in the world. I don't
know why the carnatioN likes Indiana
SO well, but perhaps it is because In
diana likes the carnatiOn e0ually we'll.
Indiana has produced more good, high
standard commercial carnations than
any other part and more new species
of the flower. The State is well to
the fore in flower raising of all kinds"
HassAiiran has developed several
carnations, one of which, brilliant
red one, is as pretty a flower as can
be found in the carnation family. He
is working on several other new spe-
cies and has them in the third year
of their development stage.

Denver Has Brownie Club.

A Brownie" club has been formed
in Denver. No one will be allowed
to become member who is more than
8 feet 6 inches tall, and the shorter
the better, although the members state
that there will be no limitation to
girth measure.
The members are measuring one an
other to see who shall be president,
for the club will choose itslofficers not
by ballot, but according to size. The
smallest man is to be president, the
next smallest vice president, and so
on.
One of the bylaws of the club is to
be that member OF the club when
he becomes benedict must marry a
maiden at least feet tall.
And member joining the club who
is still growing at the time of his
affiliation is taken in only on approval.
II he grows to be more than feet
6 inches tall he will be expelled. An
official "yardstick man. is to be elect
ed, and it will be his duty to measure
all doubtful ones at every meeting.
The club will have in it's member
ship one large man. He must be 6
feet 3 inches. He will be the official
guard, and it will be his duty to pro-
tect the members Of the Brownie Club
from outsiders at all their meetings
