Maxwell Sommerville Of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania spent nearly for
ty years of his life in oriental travel
and study.
Professor Sommerville used some
times to narrate the strange error that
was once made by a French explorer
he had known. This explorer had made
q journey to Kairwan and had drawn a
map Of the country he passed through.
The singular thing about this map was
that the name "Maarifsh" appeared 30
many times on it. A river would be
the Maarifsh river; mountain would
be Mount Maarifsh; a village, a lake,
a valley, each would be called Mar
fish.
When Professor Sommerville saw
this map he laughed.
Don't you know" he said to the
traveller, what 'maarifsh' means In
Arabic"
mo" said the other. what does 1t
meanT
1T means Don't know"

Toward the close Of the reign Of
Elizabeth, when the Spaniards We're
frequently lowering about the south
west coast Of England, a party from
their ships landed in the neighborhood
of where Falmouth stands today, with
the intention Of burning the borough Of
Penryn. 1t CHANGED, however, that that
same evening some strollers had set
up In Penryn market place a repre-
sentatiOn by puppets Of certain Incl
dents in the life Of Samson, including
his victory over the Philistines.
At the point Of Samson's onset upon
these with the Jawbone Of the ass the
strollers beat drums and sounded trum-
pets indicative Of an alarm, and the
Spaniards, who were at that moment
about to rush the town, believing 1t to
be full Of soldiers, bolted for their
boats.
This probably occurred In 1895, when
there was Spanish squadron on the
coast, which landed troops and burned

The etiquette of Holland Is exceed
ingly strict In all classes. The young
girl is most carefully chaperoned, and
she never goes anywhere. even to
church, unless accompanied by her par
ents, some male relative or other equal
ly trusty attendant. At a dance the
parents sit round the walls slipping
their coffee or wine, and the young men
must make the best Of their chances
in the opportunities afforded by the
dance, for when 1t pleases the guard
ians to depart there Is no help for 1t,
but the girls must 60 too. An unmar-
ried girl always takes the right arm of
her escort. while the matron takes the
left. perhaps because 1t is nearer the
heart.

CHIPS ANCHORS.
The Change From Short, straigh

The Change From short, Straight
FIukes to Curved Arms.
The ships anchors in general use up
to the beginning Of the last century
consisted Of long, round iron
shank. having two comparatively short
straight arms or fukes, inclined to the
shank at an angle Of about forty de-
grees and meeting 1t in somewhat
sharp point at the crown. In large an
chors the bulky wooden stock was built
up Of several pieces, hooped together,
the whole tapering outward to the ends,
especially on the aft or cable side.
About the beginning Of the last cen
fury a clerk in the Plymouth navy
yard, Pering by name, suggested Ger.
tain improvements, the most impor-
tant Of which was making the arms
curved instead Of straight. At first
sight this simple change may seem Of
little value, but consideration will show
this Is not the case. The holding power
Of an anchor depends on two principal
onditiOns-namely, the extent Of use
full holding surface and the amount Of
vertical penetration. The latter quail
ity Is necessary on account Of the ma
ture Of ordinary sea bottoms, the sur
face layers Of which are generally less
tenacious and resisting than IL the
ground a short distance below.
In the year 1881 chain cables began
to supersede the hempen ones, with the
result that the long shanked anchors
hitherto in vogue were no longer nee
essary, and anchors with shorter
shanks and with heavier and stronger
crowns gradually came into use. In
consequence Of these changes, q COM
mission was appointed in the year 1888
to inquire into the holding power Of
anchors and a principal result Of its
labors was the adoption Of the so called
admiralty pattern anchor, which con-
tinued to be used in the British navy
up to the year 1850.
The invention Of the steam hammer
in 1S42 made the welding Of heavy
masses Of iron a 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 exhi-
bition of 1851, and. public attention
having been called to the models there
shown In the following year, commit
tee was appointed by the admiralty to
report on the qualifications of anchors
Of the various kinds.
Practical trials were then instituted,
and, as a result, some of the tests to
which the anchors were submitted
We're Of doubtful value-such, for in
stance, as facility for sweeping"
Nowadays, however, at all events for
deep ships in shallow harbors, it is
considered an advantage for an anchor
to offer as little obstruction as possible
above the ground.-Nautical Gazette.

seldom that really good specimen Of

nate layers Of iron and steel, so finely
tempered that the blade would bend

for looking glass.
