years later that he had intended INC

A similar enthusiasm greets the

Lauohed Away the DANCER.

An old traveller tells Of an experiences
Of his In midocean. The day was fhg-
gy, and most of the passengers were
below listening to two eyangelists
who were holding particularly fervid
gospel meeting in the saloon. Suddenly
and without the slightest warning
there was terrific crash and the en-
gines stopped. Every one rushed on
deck. The steamer had run,into an fee
berg.
Nobody knew what damage had been
done, and everybody was ready to fly
into panic. The boats were lowered.
and then for the first time the two
evangelists, who had been forgotten In
the saloon, appeared on deck They
wore their oyercoats and their hats,
and they carried rugs and handbags.
They elbowed their way rudely to the
rail, with the evident intent of secur-
ing for themselves first places in the
boat. 1t was just at time when n
breath would have sent the passengers
panic stricken into the boats.
The sight Of the two evangelists was
about to undo the work Of cool headed
officers when pert little cockney
stepped up to the gentlemen with the
rugs and handbags.

Hats That Improve With Aas. !

"a silk hat, like wine, improves with
age" said a c!ubman. "The ofteneI
you have it ironed the sleeker and
more brilliant 1t becomes. 1t COSTS a
good deal at the outset, but in the end
1t is the cheapest hat to wear. It lasts1
you see, so long, and to iron it costs
so little. Some folks think the topper
very perishable. If 1t gets soaked with
rain, If some one sits on it and crush
es it into an accordion, they think it
must be thrown away the same as If
1t were derby. But not at all. A
silk hat can be taken apart and put
together again like watch. and If it
gets crushed nothing is easier than to
melt of the silk, straighten out the
frame and then put on the silk again.
In England, the home OF this hat,
have known men to wear the same
topper for ten or twelve years. And
the oftener the old bat is ironed the
brighter and finer it shines. It's luster
increases with time and friction like
the luster of sood antique furniture

DoCTORING LIBERTY TREE.
Trying 60 Preserve the Historic Tulip
Poplar at Annapolis.

Trying 90 preserve t1e F1isIorIo 1utiP
Poplar at Annapolis.
The old Liberty tree, the gigantic
tulip poplar, which is situated on the
front campus of st. Johns college at
Annapolis, Md. is being treated to
remarkable operation of tree surgery
10 order to preserve it, says special
dispatch to the Washington Post.
Nearly the whole of the inside Of
the tree has rotted, but the outer sur
face is still alive except one side, and
the foliage is still beautiful. The work
of preservation is being done by John
T. Withers, one of the most expert
tree doctors in the country, and the ex-
pense is being borne by James I.
Woodward of New York. The entire
inner portion is being scraped thor
oUghly, and it will be filed with con-
crete. This process has met with sue
cess in other instances. The tree is
the one under which treaty between
the colonists and Susquehannock In
clans was signed in 1852, and the re-
ception given by the people of Annapo-
lis to General Lafayette in 1925 was
under the shelter of its branches.

Waves of Water.

Waves are deceptive things. To look
at them one would gather the impress
sion that the whole water Travelled.
This. however. is not SO. The water
stays in the same place, but the mo-
ton goes on. In great storms waves
are sometimes forty feet high. and
their crests travel fifty miles an hour.
The base Of wave (the distance from
valley to Valley is usually considered
as being fifteen times the height of
the wave. Therefore wave twenty
five feet high would have base ex-
tending 375 feet. The force of waves
breaking on the shore is seventeen
tons to the square inch.

RIVER OF SALT WATER.
Curious Stream That Runs inland In

Curious Stream That Runs inland In
Grec;an Island.
One of the most curious phenomena
Of geography Is found on the southern
coast of the island of Cephalonia, in
Greece It is stream of salt water
which for an unknown period has left
the almost tideless sea and flowed In
land with a volume sufficient to fur
nish water power to two mills. For
some generations the mills were Oper-
ated by undershot wheels which took
their power from this little river Of
ocean water. They supplied -four to
the people of the island until recently,
but now they have been dismantled
owing to the competition Of larger and
better equipped mills.
The sea enters the land at four points
where the coast Is practically on lev
ell with the salt water surface. The
four initial streams unite to form the
little river that flows inland in a bro
ken rocky channel until it finally dis
appears il the limestone rock and
sinks into the earth.
This inland TOW has continued al
most certainly for several centuries.
1t is far too great for removal by evap-
grafton, chemical combination or even
physical absorption by pores or cav
ems in the rocks. What becomes OF
the water that is constantly fowil : III

The question has been tie subject or
much study, but no CONCLUSIVE answer
