Depth Of Ocean Gables

Pessimistic prophets sometimes sound
sage and logical. but the unreasoning
optimist who sees better things despite
argument outstrips them.
In the days of Stephenson's early ex-
periments il was predicted that a speed
of more than twelve miles an hour by
rail would be impracticable, if for no
other reason than that the human system
would not Withstand travelling at a
higher rate of speed.
In the early days of steamboats, It was
declared that TRANSATLANTIC steam naviga-
ton would be impossible, mainly because
of the inability to provide room aboard
ship for the coal that would be necessary
for the voyage. The prophet had scarcely
done speaking when the news arrived
that ship had just finished a trip across
the Atlantic under steam.
So with transatlantic cables. Some
promulgated the belief that they could
never be laid because the density of the
water below certain depth would be Sc
great that the cable would not sink to
the bottom of the ocean. All the wise
folk regardless, however. the cable
promptly descended to the ocean bed a,
a depth Of r6,4o4 feet. and within the
last year cable was sunk in the Pacific
ocean in the vicinity of the Lukin Islands
at depth of 26.246 feet.

FADS AND FANCIES.
MINNA ScHArT CRAWFORD.

The woman who studies the import
ance of dress very quickly discovers that
it does not necessarily require rich quaIi-
ties or costly fabrics to give the magic
touch of style, but that this wonderful
Transforming quality or essence is more
closely allied with the lines and the cut
of wonlan's clothes than with the ma
tcrials of which they are made.
Color and color combinations belong to
the artistic side of dress, likewise do
lustrous and soft finish textiles; yet, let
the weave and the colors be ever SO
beautiful, if the lines of the waist be
skewgee and the skirt hang in zigzagS
the dress will make the woman who
wears it caricature, and the labor spent
upon it worse than wasted.
| Better twelve-cent lawn that is cor
rectly cut and daintily sewn than costly
silk whose every distorted line is lus-
trous, cleaning horror. The first essen
tial is well cut pattern, one cut after
French model if possible, because the
lines of French pattern differ from the
ordinary type of pattern cut in this coun-
try as the lines of an ocean greyhound
differ from the lines of canal boat,
Best of all, French models are enchant-
ingly easy to fit on every type of figure,
A good sewing machine is another es-
sential. Many who can machine fairly
well upon heavy fabrics seem, somehow,
to fail of success when sewing upon thin
materials. This is usually because they
neglect to adjust the machine to lighter
work. Always use finer thread and a
finer needle and much lighter tension
for thin fabrics than when sewing heavy
goods. Also tighten the pressure upon
the presser-foot This is done by loosen
ing the screw at the very top of the
presser bar this screw holds the presser-
foot spring. By loosening this screw you
will find that the foot will not bear SO
heavily ON the goods and the feed will
not "chew" thin or sleazy goods. 1t is
also very necessary to have the machine
thoroughly clean and we'll oiled. Keep
ing these few hints in mind, any woman
of ordinary "gumrtion" can make and
own all the pretty dresses she Graves.

A Wife's Reproach.

Admiral Capps, in an address to a
temperance society, told how drink had
once caused the downfall of brave
soldier. In the course of the sad story
he said:
Sometimes after debauch the man
would be repentant, humble. He would
promise his wife to do better. But, alas,
the years taught her the barrenness of
all such promises.
"And one night when he was getting
to be an old mana prematurely old
man, thin-limbed, stoop-shouldered, with
red-rimmed eyes--he said TO his wife,
sadly:
you're a clever woman, Jenny-a
courageous, active, good woman. You
should have married better man than
am, dear"
"She looked at him, and, thinking Of
what he once had been, she answered
in quiet voice:
az did, James,"

What Dewey is Doing

what has become of Admiral George
Dewey, and what is he doing now?"
Taken all in all, there is perhaps nc
man in the United States, in the service
| of the government or out of it, who i:
in more enviable position than Admira
| Dewey. Congress has given him tho
| rank, pay and allowances of an admira
of the navy, reviving the rank for hi:
benefit. He is absolutely independent ot
the Secretary of the Navy and of the
President Of the United States.
He cannot be retired and he cannot b.
disciplined by reduction in rank or an,
of the other usual means employed The
place gives him an annual income oi
SI5,5oo.
If he chose to do so, he could close
down his desk, go home, and never turn
his hand over in the way of work, either
Tor the navy or any one else, and his
pay and allowances would go on as long
as he lives; but the admiral prefers to
work and to work hard
He is at the head of the navy general
board, charged with the duty of devils
ing general plans for improvement of the
navy, the management of the ships, the
handling of officers and men, and the
control of the great government ship
yards. Every day when he is not at sea
for the maneuvers he is at his desk in
his office or attending the meetings OF
the board.
Admiral Dewey is ruch loved and
much respected. He Is dapper little
fellow. not much more than FIVE feet in
height. His clothes fit him like the naval
uniform, without crease or bag any.
where.
hsA,, do t,att t1,o
valet has no less than twenty new suits
of clothes and ten pairs of shoes to take
care of at time. The admiral is not
dude, merely we'll groomed man with
out seeming to have any thought of his
personal appearance.
He has but one fad, if fad it may be
called, and that is his love for animals.
He has one OF the finest teams of driv-
ing horses in the city and also an ugly
looking English bulldog The dog went
through the battle of Manila Bay with
Dewey, so they are real bunkieS.
When the admiral was making tour
of inspection of the feet the dog went
along, and was allowed the run of a
vessel while his master was aboard. On
one ship the admiral returned from the
mems quarters just in time to encounter
the dog sailing in most hurried fashion
from the officers quarters with the toe
of an officers boot in hot pursuit.
Admiral, Dewey was white with anger
and surprise. In q second, when the
c7ptain appeared, following the direction
of the toe of his boot. the admiral, con-
trolling himself as best he could. de-
manded:
"Sir. what do you mean by kicking
my dog in that manner?'
The captain came to a swift salute.
and his face, ii was noted, was as pale
and drawn with suppressed anger as was
that of the admiral
Sir" he said, Il would have kicked
that dog if he had been the personal
property of the Supreme Being; but. sir.
! would not have kicked him, and did
not kick him, until he had chewed the
legs out of. two SIS pairs of uniform
trousers and ruined de luxe edition of
the Naval Regulations. as well as killed
the ships feline mascot"
Then they both laughed.

Supersitions of Sailors

All sailors are superstitious, and the
legends of the sea are legion, ranging
from phantom ships to spectral lights
and suddenly cleaning from yardarms
and mastheads. That many of these leg
ends are very ancient may be proved by
the fact that sea harpies are described
by Homer and Hesiod, while according
to Virgil they plundered Eneas during
his voyage to Italy. The beautiful 81
rens, too, are of classic origin.
Weird, indeed, are the tales of haunt
ing spectres, fit to send ones nerves
a-shiyering after a hearty supper, well
suited for Christmas-time ghost stories
There are the four COLLINS OF Dunter's
Ness, not ghosts, but evil water spirits,
who appear twice a year, only in mid
winter, but bring bad luck in very short
time to the ship from which they are
sighted
We must mention Adamaster, the
dreaded Ghost of the Cape, that used
to be seen in a halo of cloud and mist
over Good Hope, and also the silent
man of Wexford Harbor, the wandering
soul of the Dutch skipper who lost his
smack on his way to Dublin some three
centuries ago.
Ghostly appartions are not, however,
the only onesto be feared at sea. In the
case of St. Elmo's fire these apparitions
take the shape of spectral lights sud-
denly cleaning from yardarms or mast
heads. 1t was known by ancient navi-
gators as Castor and Pollux-the best
omen if seen double. but signal danger
if seen single.
Jack has score of we'll known super
stitions, many of which are OF very long
descent, such as the presence of figure
heads, the blessing of ships and the
crossing of the line" And it will be
remembered that the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales both paid tribute to old
Neptune while on their journey to Aus
tralia.
