MUSIC AT SEA.

Conditions Under which shIps' sails
Sometimes Sing.
Some curious facts have been noted
with regard to the sound conducting
qualities OF ships sails. When rem
1ered concave by gentle breeze. the
widespread sails of ship are said to
oe excellent conductors of sound
a ship was once sailing along the
coast Of Brazil, far out of sight of
and Suddenly several of the crew,
while walking along the deck, noticed
that when passing and repassing a
particular SPOT they always heard with
great distInctness the sound Of bells
Ginning sweet music, as though being
Fung but a short distance away.
Dumfounded by this phenomenon,
hey quickly communicated the dlScov-
cry to their shlpmates, but none of
Them was able to solve the enigma as
10 the origin Of these seemingly mys-
FERROUS sounds which came to them
across the water.
Months afterward, upon returning to
Brazil. the crew determined to satisfy
their curiosity. Accordingly they men
toned the circumstance to their
friends and were informed that at the
sine when the sounds were heard the
BELLS in the cathedral OF San Salvador,
an the coast. had been ringing to eel
,brate a feast held In honor of one of
The saints.
Their sound, wonderful to relate. ia
vored by a gentle, steady breeze, had
travelled a distance of upward of 100
miles over the smooth water and had
been brought to focus by the sails at
the particular locality IN which the
sweet sounds were first heard.

This man, the son OF the chief Of the

During that exile he lived h Cape

OF the British. With instinctfve genius
he saw how the idea could be adapted

divided his people into regiments, dis
tinguishing them by names and by a
special color of shield for each reSi-
ment though for time they retained
the umkomto, or throwing ussagni. as
their chief weapon. He heard the

fear Of its success which kept the
Beers continually on the run. The best
thing with which to compare it Is the

Are you Suffering
With Catarrh?

The first stage of catarrh is
aused by taking cold. Most Peo-
lie pay little attention to a cold.
In little while case of catarrh is
the result. Catarrh is a local dis
ase, caused by an inflammation OF
he mucous membrane of the nasal
and other passages. The nasal
passages being most exposed to the
hanges of the weather are the first
become affected. Each cold
aiken aggravates the disease, and it
will be noticed that colds are takn
much more easily as the disease pro-
resses. Soon the accumulation of
mucous begins to drop into the
throat, then on down into the lungs,
mpregnating both with the disease.
If proper medicines are applied
there is no reason why catarrh can
OF be cured.
