It;s a survival OF 4 oarbarlc custom
whom sacrifices were made to the soos
and some living victim or Offering was
hold up and its throat cut so that the
Mood flowed over the PROV Of the ship
hainr launched. The vessel was bap-
tied in warm blood. Now sparkling
wine or pure water is used, and the
change has many advantages, though
the symbolism remains.
There is another curious custom
aboard ship that is interesting in the
way it has been handed down TO US.
When dignitary visits foreign coun'
try, the moment that his ship enters
port a formal salute is fred as q slsnal
of welcome. This custom was ooserV-
ed years ago, when it was considered
the correct thing for port to IRE us
guns to show the visiting stranger thal
the citizens and authorities placed such
confidence in his friendliness that II
was not considered necessary to keep
the guns loaded, so all the shot was as
charsed.-New York Herald.
