ANCIENT SEA WALLS.
Punishment That Was Indicted For
NeglectinE Their Repair.

w. H. Wheeler in his History of the
Fens of South Lincolnshire" quotes
Harrison as saying, in his preface to
Holinshed's Chronicle that such
as, having walls or banks near unto
the sea, do suffer the same to decay,
after convenient admonition. whereby
the water entereth and drowneth up
the country, are by a certain ancient
custom apprehended. condemned and

main forever parcel of the new wall
that Is to be made upon them, as I

Harrison, so far as am at present
able to make out, is the earliest au-.
thority for this. and he only speaks OF
it as a report.
In paper by the Rev. F. G. ]. Spur
rell in The Archaeologia Cantiana" re-
lating to hartford, find the following,
which, though it is by no means proof
Of what Harrison had heard. tends to
make the statement less improbable
than 1t otherwise would be:

fact that it was tide wall, it Is pos
sible that the once owner of the skele

and, having let the tide through by his
neglect, was placed In the breach. thus

THE GAME OF LIFE.
Yonr Owa Resolution, and Not Fate,
Deals the Cards.

s.->
Many man has tried to Justify his
failure en- the ground that he was
doomed by the cards which fate dealt
him., that he must pick them up and
play the game and that no effort. how
ever great. on his part could materially
change the result But. my young
friend. the fate that deals your cards
Is Iii the main your own resolution.
The result Of the game does not rest
with fate or destiny, but with you.
You will take the trick IL you have the
superior energy, ability and determine
ton requisite to take 1t. You have the
power within yourself to change the
value OF the cards which, you say, fate
has dealt you. The game depends upon
your training, upon the way you are
disciplined to seize and use your OPP
p0rtunities and upon your ability to
put grit in the place of superior advan-
tages
Just because circumstances do some
times give clients tessawyers and pa
tients to physicians put commonplace
clergymen in uncommon pulpits and
place the sons of the rich at the head
Of great corporations even when they
have only average ability and scarcely
any experience, while poor youths
with greater ability and more expert
ence often have to fight their way for
years to obtain ordinary situations,
are you justified In starting out with

luck in your programmed What would
you think Of the captain OF great
liner who would start out to sea with
out any port in view and trust to luck
to land his precious cargo safely?
Did you ever know Of a strong young
man making out his life programme
and depending upon chance to carry
out any part OF it? Men who depend
| upon "luck" do not think 1t worth
while to make a thorough preparation
for success. They are not willing to
pay the regular price for it. They are
looking for bargains. They are hunting
for short cuts to success.
Power gravltates to the man who
knows how. Luck Ia the tide, nothing

Electricity TO be Cheaper.

An invention of the greatest i'm
portance, which will effect a revolution
In the industrial world, has been made
by a Roman electrician, Adolph Tome,
who has succeeded in solving the prob
lem of storing electrical energy.
His invention will make it possible
to transmit an electric current with a
loss of little less than 2 per cent.
no matter how great the distance.
1t will be possible, for instance, to
supply heat, light and power for all
purposes to the city of Paris with
electricity generated by the waterfalls
of Switzerland at price that will drive
all the present electric companies out
Of business.
An American syndicate is said tc
have offered the inventor 100000
for the American patent, but the offeI
has not been accepted.
