WOMAN BRIGHTEST AND BEST AT SIXTY

too precious a jewel of genius to
marry what it may please her to
consider a commonplace man. A
man whose every waking moment is
given to his ambition, who has no
time for the dear interests of hons
and for genial hobbies and diver
sions, is not the one who will bring
contentment to his wife or give nor
nal children to his country.
Genius is a luxury. Give me
rather the plain man, who locks UP
his ambition when he closes his desk
at night, and takes only his own
good, beloved self home to his wife
and children and makes them the
salient part of his life. 1 tell you, -
said this wise old lady, that nature
loves the sane, the normal, the COM

GULF OF MEXICO BY NIGHT.
A Sailors Story of Beautiful PhOs-
phOrescent Effects.

A most remarkable marine phe-
nomena was observed by the steam
ship Dover, Capt. Yon A. Carlson,
as that vessel steamed to Tampa from
Mobile, says the Tampa Times.
When at a point thirty-fve miles
from Mobile light, at Z o'clock on the
evening of the oath the ship ran sud
denly in a streak of light coming
from the waters which alternated
blue and green, the colors being so
brilliant that the vessel was lighted
up as if she was covered with arc
lights with colored globes.
A half-mile streak of dark water
and a blackness that settled like a
pail over the ship followed and a
second streak of the same brilliant
hued waters was encountered. The
second streak was about as wide as
the first one, and when the ship ran
out of it the same black waters and a
night of exceptional blackness was
also encountered. A. D. MOntmol-
lian, travelling freight agent of the
line, was on board of the vessel, and
he and Chief Engineer T. j. Cole
fully substantiated Capt. Carlson s
statement regarding the phenome-
non.
Il have sailed the high seas for
tWenty-One years" declared Capt.
Carlson, and have seen interesting
phenomena, both meteorological and
otherwise in the waters of every
known ocean, but | never saw any
thing that approached this blue and
green light from the water phenom-
ena. The night was dark but clear,
and We ran into the streaks without
any seeming warning. | was in the
pilot house when we struck it, and
l ran on deck, thinking that some
thing was on fire.
The crew tumbled out to witness
it also, and it was magnificent. 1t
was SO light that it was remarked by
the chief engineer that it could be
read by, and to make sure | grabbed
paper and the finest print that l
could find was easily discernible. We
ran out of the streak into a streak
Of black water and the darkness of
the night seemed to increase as we
did So From the streak of black
ness we ran into the second streak
of lighted waters. Each of the
streaks and the intermediate streak
of black water was about half a mile
wide. The wind at the time was a
light northwest The sea was smooth
and we were bearing southeast by
east half east 80 miles from Mobile
light"
1t is thought that perhaps a phos-
phorescent condition of the waters on
the bottom of the sea at that point
suddenly mingling may have formed
a condition which brought about the
lights in question.
