EoAH'S ARK.
The Successful Modern Vessels Built
Along Lines Of Ancient Craft.

@ALA
Along Lines Of Ancient Craft.
AS ia the case of the story OF
Jonah and his brief but intimate
acquaintance with the whale.
questions have been raised about
the authenticity of the story of the
trip OF the first hOusebOat, the
ark. Was it possible to construct
a vessel having the reputed capac
ity of that famous craft? What
were its dimensions, anyway:
These questions have buzzed in
the head of more than one "old
subscriber" and constant read
er." The editor of "The Syren and
Shipping" has undertaken to an.
swer these questions and to lay
for all time any doubts as to
whether the writer of the story OF
the DelHge was ignorant of the
subject Of shipbuilding.
"Within the last ten years" he
says, "the general dimensions Of
the ark have been closely followed
by cargo steamship builders for
deep sea and the American great
lakes service. According to the
Bible, the ark was 4SO~ feetlOng, 80.
feet wide and 4s feet deep. Her
tonnage was lab, and she had
plenty of room for pairs of all the
distinct species of animals that
are classed by BuffOn-244-and
she could have accommodated a
thousand persons, and then have
plenty of room for the storage OF
supplies. In the seventeenth cen
fury Peter Jansen, a Hollander
built a vessel of the exact proper
'tiOns of the ark, and she was sue
cessful, as records of the times
show, in making money for her
owners. Noah, the Father Of Ma
val Architecture is held in pro.
found respect by naval architects
Of today, who know how immeas
urahlY the PhOenicians, Greeks
and Romans and all other ship
builders fell short Of the excel
lencc Of the ark as a co%mmodious,
safe and economical vessel"

can Hands Black Faces

One of the most curious orders
given in the British royal navy is
"All hands black facesm And in
order that this may be adequately
fulfilled each of the warships car.
Iries amongst its stores a supply OF
such pigment as is used for the
same purpose on the stage. This
order is only given during the
maneuvers az a rule, for when a
night surprise is intended it is not
only the vessels that are made as
little visible as possible, but the
faces Of the men must be black
ened, for when powerful night
glasses are used the showing Of a
whIte face Is far more palpable
Gan any Iandsman would sup.

POISONOUS sHELLFIsH.
Case of Enteric Fever in England
Traced to Eating Mussels.

Traced to Eating Mussels.
The recent scare concerning the
pollution of certain oyster beds
has caused many persons to re-
frain from eating the toOthsome
bivalye, and the trade, says Cham
bers' Journal, has suffered to a Sc,
rious extent. 1t would seem from
a report of the London medical Of
ficer of health that similar care
must be exercised regarding mus
sells and cookies. A case of enteric
fever was traced to mussels sold
at Billingsgate market, and these
were found to have come from
Leigh, near the mouth of the
Thames. Samples of both cookies
and mussels from the same beds
were submitted to archaeological
examination, and were found to
be polluted, some to a dangerous
extent, with sewage. The Fish
mOngers' company have therefore
prohibited the sale in the London
markets of these Essex cookies un-
til they can render a better ac-
count of themselves. 1t seems
from this report that there is n
minimum period for which these
shellfsh should be boiled before
being eaten. and this precautions
airy measure has been disregarded.
