THE OLD SAILING SHIPS,
Why the Wooden Ones Were Better
Than Those Buils OF Iron,

Why the Wooden Ones Were BETTER
Than Those Built OF Iron.
The sailing ship when knew her in
the days Of her perfection was a sensi.
BILE creature. When say her days Of
perfection mean perfection Of build,
gear. seaworthy qualities and ease Of
handling, not the perfection Of speed.
That duality reached It's highest eX-
cel!ence In the discovery of hollow
lines and departed with the change Of
building material.
None or the iron ships of yesterday
ever attained the marvels of speed
which the seamanship of men famous
in their time had obtained from their
wooden, copper sheeted predecessors.
Every thing iiud been done to make
the iron ship perfect, but no wit of
man had managed to devise an efficient
coating composition to keep her bot
tom clean with the smooth cleanness
Of yellow metal sheeting. After
spell Of Few weeks at sea an iron
ship begins to lag as If she had grown
tired too soon. It Is only her bottom
that is getting foul
A very little affects the speed of a
ship that is not driven on by an untir-
ing propeller. Often it Is impossible to
tell what inconsiderate trif1e puts her
of her stride. A certain mysterious.
ness hangs around the quality of speed
as it was displayed by the old sailing
ships commanded by competent sea-
men. In those days the speed was
still matter for the seaman's care.
Therefore. apart from the laws, rules
and regulations for the good preserva-
ton Of his cargo, he was careful Of mis-
loading. Of what Is technically called
the trim Of his ship. Some ships sailed
best on an even keel, others had to be
trimmed quite one foot by the stern,
and have heard Of a ship that gave
her best speed on wind when SO
loaded as to doat q couple Of inches
by the hend.-Joseph Conrad in Har-
per's Weekly.

THE LAW OF FINDING.
Against All Save the Owner the Find.
ere TiGle Ia Perfect

Against All Save the Owner the Find
er's Title In Perfect.
In common law finding Is a qualified
source Of title to goods and chattels.
Briefly, the law Is that the finder has a
clear title against all the world, except.
Ing the owner. The proprietor OF q
coach or railroad car or u ship has 10
right to demand property found Oh his
premises. Such proprietors may make,
In regard to lost articles. regulations
which will bind their employees, but
they cannot bind the public.
The law of finding was declared by
the kings bench more than hundred
years ago (when 1t was the supreme
court Of common law In England) as
follows:
A person found a wallet containing
sum OF money OH shop floor. He
handed the wallet and contents to the
shopkeeper to be returned to the own
er. After three years. during which
the owner did not call for his property,
the finder demanded OF the shopkeeper
the wallet and the money. The latter
refused to deliver them upon the
ground that they were found on his
premises. The finder then sued the
shopheeper, and 1t was held, as stated
above, that, against all the world save
the owner, the title Of the finder Is per-
feet. The finder has indeed been held
to stand III the place of the owner.
Thus A prevailed in an action against
b, who found an article which a had
originally found, but subsequently lost.
The police have no especial rights in
regard to articles lost unless these
rights are conferred by statute Receiy.
ers Of articles found are trustees for
the owner or finder. In the absence Of
special statute they have no power to
keep an article against the finder any
more than finder has to retain an ar
ticle against the owner.
i, a finder must, however, use every
reasonable means to discover the own
er of found goods before appropriate
Ing them to his own use. It has been
declared that If the finder knows the
owner or knows that he cen discover
him he is guilty Of larceny in keeping
or appropria,ing to himself the artl.
cleS found.

Floating E8ornesteada.

On all the great lakes Of China are
found floating islands, which are enor-
NOUS RATS Of bamboo, overlaid with
earth and upholding above the surface
OF the water pretty houses and gar
dens. They are. In fact. aquatic farms,
bearing crops Of rice and vegetables.
The rich bottom mud, utilized as an
artificial soil, is extremely fertile and
yields bountiful harvests, though on
small scale. In country where there
Is such lack of available land owing
to the overplus Of population these
floating plantations are most service
able, large sails being attached to the
dwelling mousse as well as to each cor
ner Of the island whenever 1t is desired
to move about. After gathering a
,cropsof grain or garden truck from the
SURFACE Of the lake the floating farmer
casts his nets into the waters and from
their depths brings up supply Of fish
for his family. ~

the girl icily. ''For myself, I do not
care to discuss the matter"
"Bronner!" The man drew I'D his
hand before his eye, palm outward, as
one who has unexpectedly been shot.
When he dropped 1t he spoke I'M
steadily:
$50 It's all been a mistake, sweet
heart. Bronner loved you himself. l.
I thought he was my friend" AS his
voice broke he caught the old. tender
love in the girls eyes.
"But, DEAR" he cried, "of course it
was all lie. AMI 1t isn't too late"-
"How do you dare" cried she, rising
in hot anger as he made an impulsiye
forward movement. "Yes, it's too late
altogether too late. + am going to

"My-Clare, are you mad"

Ehey Were Not Only Doing Man,n

The elephants round US were drag

They We're harnessed for this with a
broad breast band and heavy chains.
"A native looped the chains round tho
logs, and the elephant started OF with
them and deposited them on the troll
Icy. Others were picking up the sawed
planks with their trunks and carrying
them across the yard to be piled.
A mahout sat on the neck Of every
elephant. and IL the animal picked up
too small a plank thu mahout would
hint, with his iron spike, that two
might go to that load. Then, grunting,
the elephant would pick up the sec.
ond with infinite delicacy Of balance,
turn, march over and deposit them be-
side the pile, always returning for an.
other load SO long as there were any
planks ready. When there We're none
he.would take his ease in the sun and
wait, or perhaps there were heavy logs

other, and If pushing would do, with
his trunk curled against the log. no
elephant would give himself the trou-

More fascinating it was than / can
tell to see the jungle patriarch kneel
down to heavy log, twist his trunk
round 1t, place it ON the tc.s Of the
pile and then calculate its position and
push and pull until it was square In
Its place. The oldest because the
most reasonable thing was to see the
elephant, pushing against the end of O
very heavy log, stretch out one hind
leg to give himself balance and pur.
chase. That seemed to bring him
somehow very near to us. He was not
only doing our work, but he was do.

Presently, with one accord, all the
elephants dropped work and moved In
the direction of the sheds.

A Russian Rear starx.

Here is an odd hunting tale from
Russia: A certain count was out for
bears and, tracking q dam and cubs,
shot one, Of the latter, had it slung into
his sleigh and drove for home, about
fifty miles, distant. Immediately after
his arrival his gamekeeper announced
that q huge bear had scaled the wall
of the park. The count went cut and
ahot it--the dam of the cub which he
had killed and brought home! The
faithful creature had followed her dead
offspring those fifty miles ut the same
pace ns relays of post horses and ar
rived in time to share the fate Of her
cub and to have a monument erected
where she fell.

the biggest one of them is for Mr.,

Ozark Hotel, at Creal Springs. The
hotel was purchased recently from
Mr., Jake Well. Paducah, and is be-

He Will Call Board Of Aldermen
TO Order at 1880.
FARLEY AND DAVIS ARE NAMED

City Clerk Henry Bailey will this
evening call the board of aldermen
to order, and the eight members.
Aldermen Smith, Kraus. Davis and
Durrett, on the democratic side, and
Aldermen j. J. Read, Oscar Starks.
J. G. Farley and Il. Il. Bell. the new
ly elected republican members, will
proceed to vote for president of
the board. Clerk Henry Bailey
wanted to be sure he was right in
doing the converting act, and asked
he solicitor for a written opinion.
He will receive the opinion today,
but has been appraised by Solicitor
Puryear that the opinion will be mere
ly that the presiding officers of the
legislative boards hold only one year.
and no one under any circumstances
can hold longer than one year, UNI
less reelected at the beginning of
each year, when the new members
take their seats.
1t seems to be generally agreed
by members of the board that there
is now no presiding officer. but if 1t
we're not it would likely be the same
as the solicitors opinion will guide
Clerk Bailey in calling the board to
order
II is supposed that the democratic
members will put up Alderman G. II.
Davis for president of the board, and
the republicans, 1t is understood.
will support Alderman John G. Far
ley. of the South Side. If the board
organizes it will proceed, but there
is little business on hand at present.
If it does not organize it will have
to ballot and ballot away indefinitely.
adjourning from time to time and
no public business can be transacted
in the meantime.
