An act Of the time OF Queen Eliza
beth ordained that Migrants were to be
stripped from the middle upward and
whipped till the body is bloody" Four
pence each was the recognized charge
made by the "whipmanr for every
male and female migrant who passed
through his hands. but on special occa-
sions this sum was exceeded. Says the
constable's account OF Great Staughton,
Hundngdonshlre: May. 16o1.-Paid IN
charges taking up a distracted woman
watching her and whipping her next
day, 8 shillings pence" After whip
ping people according to the statute
the authorities sometimes gave them q
letter recommending constabIes and
others ''to be as charitable as the law
permits"

nOnena known 70 seamen 3 that caEl-
ca by Norl5 egian sailors dead water
which, without any visible cause,
makes a vessel lose her speed and re-
fuse 70 answer her helm The saiior's
only definite knowledge Of its origin =
that It exists solely where there Is q
surface layer Of fresh water resting
upon the sait waters Of the sea. Sew
eral explanations have been advanced
by the captains OF ships of the effect OF
dead water, the commonest OF which e
that the two water layers move In dif-
ferent directions. The true explanR-
zion, however, recently offered by Swe
dish navIgators and verified by mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation and direct expert
ment, is that in addition to the resist
nnce waves at the surface the vessel
creates a second line Of subaqueOus
waves between the two strata Of wa
ter.
The experiment carried out to dem
Onstrate the truth of this theory was
an exceedingly pretty one A large
plate glass tank was first mounted on
a wooden frame. The tank was then
oiled TO n certain depth with salt wa
ter, and q layer OF fresh water was
carefully poured on to the surface, %
that two separate water layers were
obtained.
The salt water was blackened Win
liquid Chinese ink before the water
layers were prepared, and in this way
the different layers were made clearly
visible. A boat model was then lowed
along the tank and silhouette Of the
y7r1f1Tn1a1 vr-ocs ohio fT1ad nv Mac
Ing a white screen at short distance
behind the tank. The waves were also
photographed by dashlight, and the re-
suits showed conclusively that waves
actually were set up at the boundary
line between the two liquids.
Further experiments were made to
verify the sudden loss of speed due to
dead water. The boat model was
drawn acSoss the tanl< and the towing
string suddenly slackened when the
boat was about halfway across, In
cases where the tank contained salt
water only the boat stopped gradually,
moving some boat lengths after the
towing string had been slackened.
When the tank contained n layer of
fresh water resting on salt water, on
the other hand, the boat slackened
speed quite suddenly and moved only a
very short distance.
These experiments, carried out on
small scale, grove conclusively that the
difficulties encountered within n dead
water zone are really due TO the re-
sistance experienced by the vessel in
invisible waves at the fresh
water salt waSer boundary, although in
some particular cases the influence of
must also doubtless be
taken into accnunt.-New York Herald.

occasions when in n specially good

said: Now, young lady, is your

she is not so black as she has been
painting herself all week. When

Otto Oretto was also sailor,

very good account of himself.

act an excellent picture of the Erie
canal at Syracuse, n. Y, was
shown. Looking across You could
see Weiting's opera house. Moored
to the dock was the old "Prairie

the performance.
The last act showed the well
