MUSIC AT SEA.
Conditions Under which ships Sails
Sometimes Sing.

Sometimes Sing.
Some curious facts have been noted
with regard to the sound conducting
qualities of ships sails. When rem
dered coneaye by gentle breeze. tile
widespread sails OF ship are said 10
be excellent conductors of sound.
A ship was once sailing along the
coast of Brazil, far out OF sight OF
land. Suddenly several of the crew,
while walking along the deck. noticed
that when passing and repaSslng
particular spot they always heard with
great distinctness the sound of bells
Ginning sweet music, as though being
rung but ii short distance away.
Bumfounded by this phenomenon,
they quickly communicated the diseoS
cry to their shipmates, but none of
them was able To solve the enigma as
to the origin of these seemingly mys
terlous sounds which came IL 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 aud We're Informed that ut the
time when the sounds We're heard the
bells in the cathedral of San Salvador,
OH the coast, had been ringing To eel

the saints
Their sound, wonderful 10 relate, ia
vored by gentle, steady breeze, had
travelled ii distance of upward of 100
miles over the smooth water and had
been brought to II focus 10y the sails at
the particular locality in which the
sweet sounds were first heard

ADMIRAL DEAD
British Commander Who 0utWitted
Germans in Manila Bay.

sN~sN
GIBRALTAR, Sept. 1S.-Rear Admi-
raj Sir Edward Chichester, who com
manded the British squadron at Manila
during the Spanish-American war, died
here of pneumonia after an illness of
a few days. Sir Edwards wife arriv-
ed here from England.
Rear Admiral Chichester was chief
of the sea transport service during the
South African war. His work In trans
porting Il quarter of a million men
5000 miles to South Africa won him
great praise.
1t was Sir Edward Chichester who,
according to report, "stood by" the
Americans in Manila bay at a time
when friction between Admiral Dewey
and the German commander seemed
likely to lead to serious consequences.
n account of the affair, printed in
a London paper, said that "when the
American and German fleets were
grinning defiance at each other in par
allel lines, their decks cleared for ac-
ton, Captain Chichester stolidly steer
ed the British squadron between them,
giving indeed an exhibition of calm
ness, tact and nautical good humor
that probably saved a battle which
would have resulted in disaster to the
peace of tho ----Ir"

from the mainland in imminent peril,
while cottage. hotel and railroad prop
erty was damaged to the extent of
from eight to ten thousand dollars by
il fierce northeast storm which swept
Wrightsville beach, nine miles east Of
Wilmington, early in the day.
The storm came without warning and
hundreds of cottugers at the beach re-
ceived their first intimation of danger
upon awakening to find the breakers
sweeping clear across the beach to the
sound and rolling high up on the main
land two miles beyond. A trolley car
kept at the beach in case of emergency
took about twenty-five early risers
across the sound on the trestle by
which it is reached, and four other
ears responded from the city to n tele-
phone message and brought others
across while the waves swept the tres
tie.
Those left at the beach We're afraid
to cross the ~trestle, which gave way
Immediately after the last car reached
the mainland. The storm increased in
fury until noon, when the rescue work
was begun by a number of anxious
ones. They sent surf boats across the
channel ut great risk, bringing first the
women and children and later the men.
the last of the number being brought
over at 3 o'clock.
Sheriff Frank III. Stedman was
among those caught at the beach and
at once swore in a number of deputies,
who closed the barrooms and patrolled
the beach last night to prevent footing
of the places there.
Wire communication with South Port
has been cut off. The storm, which Is
supposed to have originated just nortf

day trip along the new lines that are
being constructed by that company in
Ward, William and Mclean counties,
North Dakota, and reports a condi-
ton of remarkable prosperity in that
section of the state. Almost every
acre Of available government land has
been filed upon and is being rapidly
broken and seeded. The advent of
these new lines of railroad insured con-
venient market and added thousands Of
acres to the cultivated area this season.
Whole townships heretofore unbroken
are now waving fields Of as promising
grain as has ever been seen in the
