CAP'N REUB OF TIE SOUTH STAR.
An Old shippers queer Land Craft and ITS
Nautical Rig.

One oitthe most interesting craft cruising
on the south shore Of Long Island is the
stoneboat South Star. owned and manned
by Cap'n Reub Harway.
The reader is requested to observe that
this account says cruising on the Shore
not off" the shore. The South Star is a
land craft.
For many years her master was in the
coasting trade, bringing stone around from
Rockport. Then he became tired OF the
sea and retired. but he could not give
up his nautical ways.
After Csp'n Reub had secured a patch
of land he built himself a stoneboat for use
CD shore. She is II feet long over all and
fiat bottomed. planked fore and aft. with
scow bow and stern. Her greatest free
board is six inches, her maximum and
minimum beam five feet six. She draws
no water.
The South Stars rig is a gray mule Of
the color Of a mildewed sail-a bilge water
blond, so TO speak. The traces are manila
line fastened with half bitches to eyes i'll
chain plates on either bow of the boat.
These lead to a saddle on the back OF the
mule. fitted with Delaying pins. There are
also Delaying pins for the checkline and
halter. which Cap'n Reub calls the forestry
and mooring line.
The South Star steers with a wheel near
the bow and carries a sand anchor and three
fathoms of line OF The after deck. Cap'n
Reub allows that this disposal of the
anchor is not strictly nautical. but. since
the South Star is without bowsprit or 70
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1907-07-07

checks, he cannot carry his anchor in truly
nautical fashion.
The steering line leads Through deck
pulleys to fairleaders on the saddle of the
mule and then to the iointed ~ringbolts which
are the bit in the ~headgear;, The boat
carries a ten foot setting pole of spruce.
She is not equipped with side lights.
Cap'n Reub says that automobile people
would not understand them and would be
continually mistaking him for a drug store,
and that side lights would be more bother
than they would be worth. The boat car
ries a lantern. which Cap'n Reub calls his
riding light.
It Is difficult to interview Cap'n Reub
All that is known of his thoughts and his
methods is gained from observation of the
South star under way or at anchor or from
expressions that he drops IN a casual way.
II is known, however. that while Cap'n
Reub was in his day one of the most fearless
shippers along the coast and liked nothing
better than rounding Cape Cod or Cape
Ann IN a northeast gale of wind he is NOR
tally afraid Of a gale or land. II was never
his custom to anchor in a gale of shore and
ride IL out, and IL is no more his custom
now to come TO anchor when the wind
tunes up.
He pushes on Inc takes his chances with
flying fence rails. chimney pots, tree
branches and that sort Of thing, but any.
body who has ever seen him beating against
a head wind OF the proportions Of n gale
has not failed to observe that he would
greatly prefer a gale at sea.
Cap'n Reub is well advanced in years.
but is hale and hearty. His voice Is almost
as strong as when in early years It defed
the whistle Of the vino in the rigging 70
drown IL. He has taught his mule to drive
by the word when he is not at the wheel,
and IL is a pleasure to bear him call out to
the mule in his vibrant, foghorn voice, as
IL to his helmsman:
Moth no'theast two pints. and hold her

ADAPTATION
OF PLANTS


We are in the habit of speaking of
adaptation as something entirely
apart from variation. Adaptation
stands for the slow changes induced
by the environment. II the existing
plant forms are largely the result OF
adaptation to the ever-changing en-
vironment, then we have strong evil
dence that this adaptation or varia-
tion of plants can be utilized to con-
siderable advantage by the horticul-
turist to acclimatize plants, which are
not hardy to our climatic conditions.
| fully realize that this view will be
criticized and derided by those who
have experienced losses and disap-
pointment in the growing of fruit
trees not adapted to our soils and
climate. It may. to be sure. require
longer period of time than is al
lotted a single person. but we should
bear In mind that we are not working
for this generation. but for the gem
erations to come. Further, l am not
quite convinced that the sad expert
ences of the past are of sufficient argu-
ment for us to draw the sweeping con-
cluslon that results cannot be accom-
plished within the span of one per-
sons life. The large number of old
eastern apple trees now growing in
the eastern and southern parts OF
Wisconsin are eloquent witnesses to
the kind of adaptation / have spoken
of. Not only this, but those trees are
old and have stood the test OF the
most severe winters on record. do
not mean to say that eastern varieties
can be grown successfully all over the
state, but / do say and believe that
certain sections along Lake Michigan
are adapted to many Of these var
ieties.

TO KEEP GRAVES GREEN.
The Latest Municipal Scheme to Be
Tried In Vienna.

Having bought ou. the principal
funeral companies in Vienna and as
sumed the responsibility for carrying
on the undertaking business of the
whole city, the municipality has de-
cided to go a step further, writes
Vienna correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette. by introducing a system OF
burial insurance covering not only
the cost of the funeral and of the
grave but also, when desired, the erec-
ton of a suitable monument in add.
tion.
All this is to be carried out through
the medium of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph Jubilee Life Insurance company,
an institution which forms yet an
other department to the citys munich
pal activity. The insurance cover
ing funerals and graves will be divid-
&c into ten classes, the monthly
premiums in which will range from
40 hellers (4d) to nine kronen (7s.
Cd
The insured must be between the
ages of is and so, in good health, and
not engaged in any dangerous occu-
patton. In the event of death occur
ring within six months from the date
of insurance the policy will be void
and the premiums paid will be re.
turned. Separate assurances must be
| effected for monuments, the premiums
for which will range from one kronen
G0d. to 16 kronen (13s. ADJ a month.
And finally by payment of a capital
sum the company will agree to keep
graves in order and to decorate and
illuminate them on the feast Of All
Souls in every year so long as the
cemetery Is in existence.
This latest venture in the field Of
municipal enterprise is interesting for
the various burial societies already
formed in the city. And 1t also prom.
ises to be interesting for the monu-
mental masons. AS the city now owns
extensive stone quarries, It is thought
not unlikely that its next step will
be to engage in the business of manu-
featuring and erecting funeral monu-
ment.
