NATURES LITTLE SHIP.
A Curious Jellyfsh Endowed With q
Movable Sail.

Movable Sail.
While man makes the largest ocean
vessels, nature makes the smallest.
This is a species OF jellyfish, found only
In tropical seas, which has a sail.
The part OF the fish under the water
looks like mass OF tangled threads,
while the sail is tough membrane,
shaped like shell and measuring quite
five inches and sometimes more across.
The fish can raise or lower this sail at
will
Wise sailors let this curiosity OF na-
ture alone, for each Of the threads
composing It's body has the power OF
stInglng, the results OF which are very
painful and often dangerous. This
power defends It from porpoises, alba
trosses and other natural ep&mies.

than It's sail, and when seen skim
ming bravely along the surface Of the
water II looks more like a child's toy
boat than living creature out In

SHOOTING THE SUN.
Simplest Way Of Locating . ships
Position st Sea.

The average transatlantic traveller
displays very little interest I'm the nav
!gation Of the vessel beyond watching
the ships officers. sextant I'm hand,
making observations, says a writer In
Travel Magazine. Very few have any
Idea o. the process by means Of which
the modern navigator Is enabled to ac-
turateiy place the ships position at
. stated time on the chart. Out OF
sight of land ships geographical po-
yition Is determined either by keeping
o careful record OF the course steered
and the distance run, known as dead
reckoning. or by the combined use OF
observation OF the heavenly bodies.
The operation of finding the latitude
and longitude Of observation can be
performed In a number OF ways, OF
which the simplest and most conven
lent Is by measuring the altitude Of the
sun above the horizon at noon, as Is
indicated on the vernier OF the sextant
and spoken OF ut sea as shooting the
sun" An arithmetical computation by
the aid OF logarithms Is thus quickly
made which shows exactly how far
the ship Is north or south OF the equa-
tor, or, In other words, the latitude.
Finding the longitude. however, Is Il
somewhat longer process. An observa-
tion Is made either I'm the forenoon or
afternoon, the chronOmeter time Of the
horizon contact Of the suns image be-
Ing noted. A calculation Is then made
which gives the exact time at the spot
where the ship happens to be, and, as
the chronometer carried aboard shows
the exnct time at Greenwich, the prime
meridian Of longitude, the difference
between the two expresses In hours
and minutes easily convertible into
degrees and miles the distance east
or west Of Greenwich.
Having thus, roughly speaking, found
the latitude and longitude, dot placed
on the chart Mt the exact point where
the lines Of latitude and longitude
cross denotes the ships position.

MISLEADING NAMES.
Terms In Science That Belle the Prod.
uets to Which They Apply.


uets to Which They Apply.
There are terms In certain depart
ments OF science that positively mis-
name the products to which they are
applied.
The word "oil" In its more compre-
hensive and lndlscriminate uses Is
made to include hydrocarbons, like pc
troleum, and also many other sub
stances that have an oily appearance,
like "oil Of vitriol," which Is not oil at
all, but sulphuric acid.
Strictly speaking, the mineral oils,
including all petroleum products, are
not oil, although we speak Of "coal
oil" and kerosene OIL"
The best classifications OF oils do not
include mineral hydrocarbons, like
naphtha, parafiin and petroleum, but
treat only the two well defined groups
fixed oils and fats and the essential
or volatile oils.
"Copperas" Is not copper, but sui
phate Of iron. "Salt OF lemon" has
nothing to do with the fruit Of the
lemon tree, but Is potassium binoxalate
or potash treated with Oxalic acid.
"Carbolic acid" Is not an acid. but
phenol. In structure It Is allied to the
alcohols and has only slight acid prop
critics. "Soda water" has no trace Of
soda. "Sulphuric acid' contains no
sulphur Sugar Of lead" is innocent
OF sugar.
Cream OF tartar" has nothing to do
with cream nor milk Of lime" with
milk. German silver" Is a stranger
10 silver, and "black lead" Is not lead
at all, but graphite. mosaic gold' is
n sulphide Of tin.
These misleading names have come
down from the vocabulary Of an early
and inexact chemistry. AS popular
science extends the old terms are
yielding to the more scientific nomen-
clature.

battle on yonder hill, I blvouacked un-
der yonder clump Of trees. Those OF
you who remember as l do the times
that tried mems souls will not, hope,
forget their humble servant when the
primaries shall be held
"That was n strong appeal I'm those
days, but John raised the general at
his own game. My fellow citizens,
he said, what General Tucker says to
you about bivouacklng under yonder
clump of trees Is true. 1t Is also true,
my fellow citizens, that l was vedette

he slept. Now. then, fellow citizens,
all you who were generals and had
privates to stand over you while you
slept vote for General Tucker, and all
OF you who were privates and stood
guard over the generals while they
slept vote for Private John Allen
The people caught on, took John at
his word and sent him to congress,
where he> stayed until the world was
filled with his renown."
