TALES OF
ALONE AT SEA,

1t was Captain Joshua Slocum who
reftted an antiquated sloop, called the
Spray, and ut forth in her strange
countries for to see." He tells his ad-
ventures in a delightful book called
Sailing Alone Around the World; !"
and this was how a very big universe
looked to him when he was in the
open sea off Sable Island:
The fog lifted just before dark, and
/ watched the sun go down and out of
sight Then l turned my face east
ward, and there, apparently at the
very end of the bowsprit, was the
smiling full moon, rising out of the
sea. Neptune himself, coming over
the bows, could not have startled me
more.
Good evening, sir!" I cried. "I'm
glad to see you!"
About midnight the fog shut down
again, and continued for number
of days, while the wind increased to
a gale. I felt myself drifting into
loneliness, an insect on straw. I
lashed the helm, and my vessel held
her course; while she sailed, slept.
During those days feeling of awe
crept over me. My memory worked
with startling power. The ominous,
the insignificant, the great, the small,
the wonderful, the commonplace, all
appeared before my mental vision in
magical succession. Pages of my his
tory were recalled, so long forgotten
that they seemed to belong to a pre-
vious existence. I heard all the voices
of the past, laughing, crying, telling
what I had heard them tell in many
corners of the earth.
The lonelines of my state wore off
when the gale was high, and l found
much work to do. When fine weather
returned, there came the sense of soli-
tude which l could not shake off. l
used my voice often at first, giving
some orders about the affairs of the
ship, for 1 had been told that I should
lose my speech from disuse.
At the meridian altitude of the sun,
called aloud, Eight bells!" after the
custom on shipboard. Again, from
my cabin, I cried to an imaginary
man at the helm, How does she head
there?" and again, "Is she on her
course?"
But getting no reply, was remind
ed the more palpably of my condition.
My voice sounded hollow on the
empty air, and I dropped the practice.
Why not sing? My musical talent
had never bred envy in others, but to
realize what it was, you should have
heard me use it out there on the
Atlantic.
You should have seen the porpoises
leap when 1 pitched my voice for the
sea. Old turtles, with large eyes,
poked up their heads, but the por
poises were, on the whole, the most
appreciative. One day wien l was
humming, "Babylon's a-Fallin'," one
of them jumped higher than the bow
spirit. Had the Spray been going
little faster, she would have scooped
him in. The sea-birds sailed around
rather shy.

WILD ANIMALS AS PETS.

Despite all the stories to the con-
trary you cannot make friends of
wild animals, says Marie Louise
Morelli, trainer of wild animals in
Bostock's show. Why, I have tiny
baby lioness in my room now playing
about like a little puppy, sleeping un-
der my bed at night, or with it's head
pillowed on the stuffed breast of
Little Nell" my pet leopard who
committed suicide by hanging her.
self, but don't imagine for a minute
that because she eats Jumps of sugar
out of my hand now, she will not just
as willingly eat the same hand few
years hence when she has grown up.
Instinct is the one force in life
which man or animal cannot get away
from. You may dress lion or
leopard in a ruf1e and call him a
clown animal, but you can't change
lions claws or a leopard's spots. In
the back of his mind, seething and
soaring, is the thought that man is
his enemy, and his instinct prompts
him to kill that enemy. Nature has
equipped him with his weapons and
shown him how to use them. My
neck and arms, which are a mass
scars from wounds inflicted by my
tame" animals, will bear witness to
this fact.-The Bohemian.

The tiresome vibratory effect so
often seen when bioscope or kimeto-
graph pictures are thrown on the
screen is not due to the passage of the
film itself across the front of the
lantern, but to the shutter, which cuts
off the light at rapidly repeated inter-
walls during the motion of the film.

interposition OF this shutter from

four times the usual speed, the pain

has induced Japan to link arms with
