Sailors Superstitions.

1t is a common belief among sailors
that ship which has been sunk and
raised again is haunted by the ghosts
of those who were drowned in her.
Some years ago a large emigrant
steamer was sunk in the Mediterra
mean. and over. 800 lives were lost
Thousands were spent in raising the
vessel. She was brought home and
reftted, but has neve" since been used.
1t is impossible to keep a crew. The
men declare that every night the great
hull rings with the screams and groans
of the multitude who sank. like rats
in a trap to the bottom of sixty feet
of stormy sea.-Strand Magazine.

WHALES AS RAMS.
Cases Where These Marine Monsters
Have Attacked Vessels.

While cruising in the south seas the
whaler Essex on Nov. 90, 1920. was fu-
riously attacked by COW sperm whale
supposed to have been the mother of
calf which had just been harpooned.
The whale had not been wounded her
self. and her attack was very deter
mined At her first rush she passed
under the Essex aud carried away a
great length of hev false keel. Then
coming to the surface considerable
distance away, she appeared to take
bearings and deliberately charged the
vessel again, ramming her with such
violence that she stove In the bows,
while the ship rolled so heavily that
the captain thought she must be dis
mantled. The case is memorable be-
cause the crew had to abandon the
vessel, and one boat was never heard
of again.
A more singular instance of a whale
attacking a vessel occurred in 1895.
The singularity lies in the fact that in
the case of the Handa Isle the attack
was entirely unprovoked. This vessel,
a brigantine of 260 tons, was on her
way to Sydney with a cargo of timber.
On Aug "a, about noon, couple of
sperm whales rose very close to the
vessel and, while the crew watched
them sporting across her bows, the
pair suddenly slued around and came
straight for her. One thought better
of it and dived below the Handa Isle.
The other struck her fair and square
on the beam, crushing in her timbers.
Having rammed the ship in this reso-
lutte fashion it sheered Off. terribly
damaged about the head, and present

Fortunately there were some pack
ages of rawhides on board, and the
crew were able to keep the vessel

SUGAR AS FOOD.

to Good Health.
"There is a prejudice against sugar
which is not justified by physiological
reasoning" says the London Lancet.
"Sugar is one of the most powerful
foods which we possess, as it is the
cheapest. In muscular labor no food
appears to be able to give the same
powers of endurance as sugar, and
comparative practical experiments
have shown without the least doubt
that the hard physical worker, the
athlete or the soldier on the march is
much more equal to the physical strain
placed upon him when he has had in
cluded in his diet liberal allowance
of sugar than when sugar is denied to
him
"Trophies prizes and cups have un-
doubtedly been won on a diet in which
sugar was Intentionally notable con-
stituent, 1t has even been said that
sugar may decide battle and that
jam after all is something more than a
mere sweetmeat to the soldier. The
fact that sugar is a powerful muscle
food accounts probably for the disfa-
vor into which it falls. for compare
lively small quantity amounts to an
excess. and excess is always inimical
to the easy working Of the digestive
processes.

the supply of energy required by the

eAnd it is a curious fact that the
man who practically abstains from
sugar or reduces his diet to one almost
| free from carbohydrates in favor of
protein foods. such as meat. often
shows feeble muscular energy and an
Indifferent canacity for physical endur-

I tried the well known remedy of trying to send myself off into the land of Nod by taking long. deep breatbs.
