60 down to the sea in ships need to
lreshen up their memories on the sub
ject of signals to be used in case the
ing seafarers must be hailed and asked
for assistance. When the freighter
British King sank in midOcean short
time ago eleven men went to their
deaths because a signal had been mis-
read. There were Twenty-Five surviv-
ors of the wreck, but all on board
might have been saved had a certain
signal been read correctly when help
was first requested.
Signaling according to certain gener-
ally understood systems has been In
use by seagOing vessels from time i'm
memorial, but in recent times many
Improvements have been introduced,
and there Is now regularly accepted
international code of signals. 1t was
such a code that the officers of the
British King used when they found
their vessel in peril In the middle of
the Atlantic during a violent gale and
sighted the German tank steamer
Mannheim. The British King at once
flew the international code signal
meaning Help; please stay with me;
l am sinking" The Mannheim replied.
II will not leave you"
Then the British King officers made a
mistake. They flew a signal which
in six hours" This did not tally with
the first signal and puzzled the captain
of the Mannheim, but he decided to
stay near by and flew the signal mean
ing "Stop your engines" The captain
Of the British King misread this sig
nal and thought it meant ''Stay on
board;" consequently his vessel kept
moving, and it was impossible for the
Mannheim to put lifebOat alongside.
The Mannheim kept near by the dis
tressed vessel during the night, and
when dawn broke a hurricane was
blowing and the British King was
pitching and rolling in the giant seas.
She flew the signal Am sinking; send
lifeboats," and the Mannheim and an
other ship, the Bostonian, which had
been hailed. responded. 1t was almost
impossible to get lifebOats alongside in
the high seas, but at last Twenty-Five
men were taken off. By that time
night had come again, and no more
trips could be made. During the night
the British King sank to the bottom,
carrying eleven men with her. But for
the delay caused by misleading signals
all, it is believed, might have been TAX
en- off in safety.
The new international code of day
signals for merchant vessels went into
effect in 1901 and consists of nine
teen square flags. two swallowtail flags
and five pennants. besides the code or
answering pennant. With the excep-
ton Of the last named signal, all are
assigned to different letters Of the al

tally. also adds that his grandson,
Gladstone, was educated at three uni
versities, including Harvard, and will
never be anything" Gladstone may
well feel that it is waste of energy
to "be anything" as long as father can
pull money right out of the air. Be
sides this, a young man who has ex-
hausted three universities, including
Harvard, naturally feels that he has
earned a slight period of mental re-

will be re.arranged 10 the form of
cross, inclosed in square.
Above this cross in th center will
be constructed wire cages or
flying pens large enough to contain
fifty or sixty pigeons. A premium
of ten dollars will be offered as the
first prize and one of five dollars
as second prize to the exhibitors
who fill their pens with the great
est variety of birds of beauty aud
quality. The award will not turn
on the greatest variety of pigdons
shown alone, but more upon the
beauty and quality of the varieties
shown
Among the homers the blue
barred and the checkered are the
favortes, the other six or seven
varieties of homers being
raised for their beauty and plum
age, The white and black dra
goons are handsome birds, good
breeders and fine for squads, but
slower IN maturing than homers.
And so it goes on through the list
like it is with chickens, one breed
er declaring this variety is the best
and another swearing by that,
when in fact the best is the one
you like best-for you.

Col. Landrum in Frankfort
Getting Encouragement
For the Road.
TO HOPRINSVILLE FIRST
We Are On a Direct Line
From River to Ocean
Survey Made.

Mr.. John w. Landrum seems to
be in dead hard earnest about the
Cairo and Cumberland Gap Railroad.
Hewas in Frankfort last week and
the following is taken from Satur-
days Courier.Journal:
Railroad for Western KY.
John w. Landrum, of Mayfeld,
has spent two day in Frankfort, get
ting signatures to a petition to L.
w. Goode to push the Cairo and
Tennessee river railroad to compile
ton. He has secured the names Of
practically all of the State officials,
headed by Gov. Beckham, assuring
Mr.. Goode of, the States interest in
the project. Mr.. Goode is Virgin
ian and nephew Of ex-Gov. Lowry,
of Mississippi. He has become I'M
terested IN a project that has hung
fire for fifteen years, but which Mr..
Landrum now says bids fair to be
realized. The road, as projected,
runs from Cairo, ILL.,, to Norfolk,
Va, passing through Allen, Ballard,
Galloway, Carlisle, Christian, Chm
ton, Graves, Logan, Marshall, Nor
roe, Simpson, Todd, Trigg. Wayne
and Whitley counties, and follows
a survey secured by B. A. Neale, of
Mayfeld, some fifteen years ago,
when Kentucky and Tennessee
granted charters to the company.
Mr.. Landrum said the road was
Neale's life dream. If the project
goes through most of the credit for
it will be due to Mr.. Neale's persist
ence and abiding faith.
1t is believed that within the next
year the road will be built through
Mayfield to Hopkinsville, at least,
The proposed line. it is said, is 1877
miles shorter to Newport News thar
any other of three proposed lines.
