Living Men Entombed in Sunken

From Pearsous Weekly.
a striking example of one among the
many strange accidents that befall sailors
was reported the other day from New
castle. New South Wales
The barkentne Kate latham turned tur

shut up in her hold. The survivors. who
had climbed on her keel as she heeled

unparalleled. This. however, Is by no

markabe authenticated instance being
that of Capt. Engallandt of the Erndte.
who was rescued alive after an entomb-

During this period the derelict. drifting
bottom uppermost, was sighted by the
masters of several vessels. all of whom.

taken out alive, although greatly ema-
ciated.

RAILROAD COMPANY BUYS TIES
FROM HAWAII AND JAPAN.

The striking instance OF the
scarcity of timber suitable tor
railroad ties in the United States
is seen in the recent purchase OF
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railway Company OF p
100000 ties of ohia wood from a
lumber company operating IN
the Hawaiian Islands. 1t has
been difficult for some time for
the railroads of this country to
obtain wooden ties satisfactory
both in quantity and quality,
and many of them have been
looking about for an Opportu-
nifty to purchase tie timber IN
other countries.
During a recent trip OF this
kind by representative OF the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa re
Railroad Company arrange
ments were made for the pur-
chase of ties, not only in the
Hawaiian Islands, but also IN
Japan. 1t is stated that ties
from Japan will be made from a
certain species of oak which COM
pares in lasting qualities very
favorably with the white oak OF
this country, which has been con-
sidered the most satisfactory
wood for tie purposes. About a
var ago, before the representa-
tive OF the railroad had started
on his trip, the United States
Forest Service made a few tests
on the ohia wood. The results
Indicated that, IN point OF
strength, ohia wood will rank
with the oaks. 1t was thought
from these tests that the wood
was worthy of further investiga-
ton, and the large order placed
bv the railroad indicates that
their agent is confident that Ha-
waiian wood will prove to be a
satisfactory material for rail
road ties under the conditions
existing in this country.

SOME NEW TABLE KINKS.
ROCK Candy for Coffee instead OF
Susar-volcanoe Of Rum,

Have you noticed that many host.
esses are serving rock candy CRYSTALS
instead OF sugar with after dinner cof-
feeY' inquired an observing woman.
I've tried II myself and have found
mat the prettiest effect is gained by
buying an equal amount each of red
and white rock candy aud mixing the
irregular shaped crystals in a low
glass bonbon dish.
These are served with bonbon
spoon. There's an especial advantage
IN this plan for those who want very
little sugar, as the smallest quantity
may be taken, less than an ordinary
piece OF cut sugar. This rock candy
is absolutely pure. very cheap, and
gives particularly delicious flavor
to black coffee.
Another new kink | noticed AT n
luncheon was the passing of two little
glass dishes with the salad course
one dish held finely minced green
peppers and the other tiny slices OF
nttle new onions. The guests took
what they wanted and sprinkled It on
the salad, which was combination
OF lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers.
AT the same luncheon fancy ON
elet with burning rum was served in
stead of the usual sweet course. In
stead of the ordinary river OF
fire running placidly around the
the platter the effect was
quite spectacular and reminded one OF
miniature volcanoes found that this
effect was the result of stacking Jumps
of sugar in heaps at intervals round
