MARINE
MARIE HACNELDs EXPERIENCE

MARIE AAGAtL- = EXPERIENCE
The Hamburger Fremdenblatt pub
fishes an account Of the voyage of the
German sailing ship Marie Hackfeld.
which was in Honolulu on her last
trip, which arrived al Ipswich on June
6 from Portland, Ore, with cargo Of
grain, and which was spoken near Cape
Horn with her cargo shifted. On
March 70, when the vessel was hove-to
on the starboard tack with goose
winged lower naaintopsail, the cargo
shifted 10 port, and the vessel got
list TO port Of more than 40 deg. The
lee rail was constantly below water,
and If was feared that the vessel would
turn turtle. Il was impossible, after
taking in the lower maintopsail, TO get
the ship before the wind, and the vessel
drifted under bare poles, shipping
heavy seas constantly, which carried
away everything movable from the
deck Sometimes the lee arms of the
lower yards were dipping in the sea.
At last. when the crew started TO jet
tison cargo. the vessel was righted.
For sixty hours the crew worked to
save the vessel and themselves from
destruction On March q the glass
went down as FAR as 600 millimeters
IN a northerlv hurricane, which shifted
10 the west after the center was pass
cd The vessel vas then hove-to on the
port tack, and drifted again under bare
poles after cutting away the lower
naintopsail, when the cargo shifted
second tinle 10 the starboard side. and
vas righted this tine by trimming
cargo IN the space on the port side
made by the previous jettisoning Of
cargo. On March > the vessel had to
run before a soatherly gale, during
which it was impossible to heave her

force Of the gale may be imagined
bv the fact that the ship during four
hours under her lower maintopsail
made II knots Per hour When the
Marie Haekfeld was close to the Burds
wood Banks the gale decreased Some
days later the ship, in 48 s. lat, met
twelve large icebergs. The rest of the
passage was made without accident.

Writing on THE Romance OF the
Diamond" in the North American Re-
view" Sir william Crookes refers to
the theory advanced by some scientists
that the diamond is gift from heaven
conveyed to earth In meteoric showers,
and he confesses that the theory is not
without support. His description of
the Kimberley diamond mines Is inter-
esting. The writer says:
"Many circumstances point to the
conclusion that the diamond Of the
chemist and the diamond Of the mine
are strangely akin as to origin. 1t Is
evident that the diamond has not been
formed In stu In the blue ground
where it is found. The genesis must
have taken place at vast depths under
enormous pressure. The explosion of
large diamonds on coming to the sur
face shows extreme tension. More dia-
monds are found in fragments and
splinters than in perfect crystals. and
1t is noteworthy that. although these
splinters and fragments must be de-
rived from the breaking up Of large
crystal. yet in only one Instance have
pieces been found which could be fitted
together, and these occurred at differ
emit levels. Does not this fact point to
the conclusion that the blue ground Is
not their true matrix? Nature does not
make fragments of crystals. As the
edges Of the crystals are still sharp and
unabraded, the locus of formation can
not have been very distant from the
present sites. There were probably
many sites Of capitalization differing
in place and time or we should not see
such distinctive characters in the gems
from different mines nor indeed in dia-
monds from different parts of the same

Inappropriate Songs.

sOur Sunday school superintendent
once gave a lecture on inappropriate
songs" says a musical director Of an
uptown church, Sin which he told Of
visiting the primary room to find the
infants Justify singing:
my latest sun is sinking fast.
MY race is nearly run.
@And our presiding elder used to tell,
with great glee, of a bishop who at a
general conference retired with his
committee to the anteroom to finish
an important report. a song service to
fill the gap. AS the returning clergy
men fled down the main aisle, headed
by the bishop, the chorus came out on:
''see the mighty hosts advancing
Satan leading on.
''But the most amusing incident that
really came under my own observation
was while assisting in revival serv-
ice in a small western town. The
evangelist seemed to find in very
successful doctor of that place a sub
feet for special and unusual effort.
One evening, while he was earnestly
exhorting with the medical gentleman
to come to the altar, an enthusiastic
sister began singing:
''The great physician now is near.
"a smile ran through the audience,
the doctors eyes twinkled, and the
divine himself with difficulty maintain
ed straight face. 1t is needless to
add that there was no conversion that

PATENT MEDICINES.
They Were Known In Japan as Early
as the Year 1882.


Though Americans have got the ides
INTO their heads that this country takea
the palm for the use Of patent medis
cines. it appears that it falls far be-
hind Japan.
A report by one of Great Britain's
'eonsuls In Japan shows that the yam
KEGS of the east began to develop the
patent medicine business long before
the United States was more than a
few little Atlantic coast hamlets-that
is, in the year 1852.
The business had it's origin at Toya-
ma. on the west coast. Its founder
and patron was Prince Seiho Mazda.
While daymio of the province his max
ing of medicines for the poor attracted
such attention that Bandai Jokan, a
physician of Katakami, brought sup
ply of Han-Gon-Tan C'medicine that
calls back the dead to life'D. This was
distributed from door to door, to be
paid for when convenient, and from
that time has been a popular remedy.
The industry took root and flourish
ed. Medicines were distributed in the
last century by thousands of agents,
who made collections once year. tax
ing back unused supplies.
The medicines-none being In liquid
form-are usually given suggestive
names, like "brain healing pills" and
"heal everything powders" Toyama
