What has most struck me III my
many experiences Of shipwrecks mas

which the passengers acquit them

Women cry. faint and cling to each

act very strangely l remember one
man throwing into the lifeboat a neaNy
trunk which he wanted to save, but
which we promptly heaved overheard.
Some men become quite panic stricK-

| I've known others who became SO
stupefed with fright as to resist all al
tempts at rescuing them, begging TO DC
left to die and having to be forcibly

| sons frequently become half demented
and I've known several cases where
they have in a frenzy committed sui
eide by positively jumping headlont
into the sea and drowning themselves
and one man to insure his sinking
filed his pockets with coal.
Some years ago another passenger
hearing the ship had struck, went an'
drowned himself in the bathroom, an
ticipating his fate, as it were.
I remember another case where

Asked For Prayer.

The Hon. John Langley, who comes
70 the next congress as a representa-
tive from Kentucky, used to be ap-
pointment clerk Of the census bureau.
He knew how not to make an appoint
ment when he didn't want to. A story
Is told of an excellent old clergyman
from Pennsylvania who called on
Langley to urge the appointment or Il
Young woman from that state. Inc
appointment clerk talked In such man
ner as to lead the clergyman to believe
that his young woman would get the
appointment. 1t didn't materiallze'
however, and the man Of the cloth
asked one of Langley's subordinates:

PhiIadelphia's Negroes.

There has never been q time In the
history of philadelphia when there
were no negroes here, but when they
first came or how we may never know.
In the first laws for the government
of the province of Pennsylvania black
servants are mentioned along with
white servants. plainly showing their
presence in the colony during the time
of William Penn. Indeed, there Is evil
dence that they were in Pennsylvania
and Delaware before the proprietor
came to this country. Today Philadel-
phia has about per cent of its popula-
ton negroes, which Is two and hair
times as great percentage as In New
York or Chicago. Philadelphia has the
largest aggregate negro population IN
the north and the fourth largest In the
whole country. Our negro population
for numbers is only exceeded by Wash
incton. which in 1900 had S6,7O2; Bal
timore, 1928, and New Orleans, H.
ia. Philadelphia had 62,613 negroes
in 1900, and at the present time the
colored population Is nearly $1,000

Mental Photography.

A member Of the Photographic socl-
ETY. has been trying the new mental
photography which has been making
some stir In Berlin. This local expert
menter took a blank Photographic plate
into his dark room, bound it to his
forehead and for thirty minutes con-
centrated his thoughts on the face or
q close friend of his. The developed
plate, which he says is the Identical
one that he bound to his forehead,
shows family traces Of face that has
many points of resemblance to that OF
his friend. Such, at least, is the opin'
lon of some who have seen the plate,
though others declare that It's mark
ings are indeterminate and look like
nothing In particular. The point raised
by the experiment is whether or not
an image on the human brain can be
photographed, since the X ray can SO
cure an image Of the arteries of body
OF Of something iDclosed in a solid
opaque covering.-Philadelphia Record

After four inch boards had been tax
en- off an oak log at James WeDbs
sawmill in Greenfield, Ind, walnut
peg an inch In diameter was found,
where 1t had been driven into the log.
The peg was foot long and reached to
the heart of the big log where, 1t IS es-
timated, it had been driven seventy
five years ago. At the end Of the peg
was q coil of black hair, long and silk
en-. Mr. Webb endeavOred to learn T. o

people In the neighhorhOOd are of the
opinion that the coil Of hair was placed
there in accordance with prevalent
custom of pioneer times. This custom
provided that when man and wife
could not get along or agree instead Of
separating, as in these days, the neigh
bors cut a lock Of hair from the head
of each. A hole was then bored III a
thrifty tree and the locks of hair were
driven to the heart by a walnut pin.
