recalls the loss of the Arctic in 1S54.
That disaster has beer i-mmortali2ed by
Henry Ward Beecher in his masterful
description Of the sea-tragedy.
The description Of the Arcric's loss,
which has been a school and household
classic for half q century. shows how
easily the wreck could have been
avoided, We're the Atlantic steamer

The Arctic |foundered within Sight of
Newfoundland. where there are now
several Marconi stations. a signal of
distress flashed by a Jack Binn would
have sent scores Of lifeboats out to the
wounded ship, and the passengers
would have been saved.
Millions have read '"The Loss of the
Arctic" and the same millions when
they read it today viii say;
IF there had only been wireless in
those days"
The description of the wreck, penned
by the greatest American pulpit orator
of his day, follows:

And slowly it headed
For Panama,
AS he bowed his thanks
With his deep Ha! Ha!
And he waved his hat.
Threw a kiss, good-by.
Which started the shouters
To weep and sigh,
Cause Taft was off
They stood there and cheered him
From eight till noon,
And begged him to hurry
To hasten back soon;
They told him they needed him
More up North,
To surely be back here
BY March the fourth;
But Taft was on!

Here is a cor that open on
A chamber darkened, fun OF gloom.
A ghostly light shines in upon
The jewellers in this spacious room.
Here Fear and Trouble pace about;
Anxiety and Woe and Grief:
Foreboding, WEAKNESS and Doubt,
And Worry that escapes relief.
This door | call "Forgetfulness"-
In letters deep the word is cut
And though the dwellers madly press,
l keep it ever tightly shut.
This other door Remembrance is.
1t opens on a cheerful scene
Past joys, and little tastes of bliss,
And happy moments that have been.
Dear Peace and sweet Content are here,
And little deeds of kindness done;
Hope and Love and Faith and
Cheer,
And blessings that my life hath won.
This door is open all the while,
Flung wide that every one may share
Possessions that make life a smile,
And put to rout all thoughts of care.

miles of docks, in addition to the two
miles already provided for. The idea is
that the additional docks shall consist
at first of three great piers built at a
distance of LIS feet from each other.
Completed. these docks will have a
frontage of $1,000 feet or about twelve
miles. The additions planned will cost
about $19,0 900, 900.

OVER THE WIDE WORLD.

David George Hogarth, the geogra-

Asia there are vast areas on which no
European foot is known to have trod,
even any European eye to have
looked. The greatest unseen area lies
in Arabia. Almost all the southern half
of Arabia is occupied, according to ma
tive report, by a vast wilderness called
generally Ruba-el-Khali, Dwelling of
the Void" No European has ever en-
tered this immense tract, which en-
braces some 500, 900 square miles. 1t
would take a bold man to venture out
for the passage of either $50 miles west
to east or $50 north to south in the
isothermal zone of the worlds greatest

miles west of Nephi Water was struck
at a depth of 500 feet, and there is now
fifty feet of water in the well. The wa
ter is of a good quality, and flowing
freely at the rate of between seventeen
and eighteen gallons a minute.
This well is a great boon to the sec
ton, as the nearest good drinking wa
ter is at Neohi The cost was about
$500, including a gasoline engine and
pump installed The board will lease
it to the person who will operate il
and furnish water for the least sum
per gallon. the cost being about half a
cent a gallon.

CYCLIST COLLIDES

Chemical Runs Down Bicycle Rider
While Responding to an
Alarm.

Riding his bicycle down Main street
last evening, Richard Boystorfer Of So
Colorado street, colHded with the cham
ical wagon of the fire department, and
was severely cut and bruised about the
face and head. He was attended by
Police Surgeon Steele.
The apparatus was responding to a
call at the Standard Furniture COM
pany. Smoke was discovered in the rear
of the store. 1t had been caused by the
fire of some rubbish in the alley. 1t
was quickly extinguished without dam
age
The accident happened in the street
near the Z. c. NJ. I. Boystorfer was rid
ing eastward almost in the middle of
the street He attempted to turn out,
and the driver of the chemical, wit
nesses said, turned in the same direc-
ton.
1t is said that the cyclist turned to
the proper side of the street and took
the right course in his effort TO avoid
the collision, though il is probable that
he became confused; and the driver also
losing his bearings in the face of a
prospective smashup, the two ran di-
rectly into each other
BoystOrfer was thrown to the street,
his wheel damaged almost beyond re-
pair. That he was not killed seems re-
markable, since the horses danced
recklessly about his head, barely miss
ing him several times.
An examination by the police surgeon
revealed that the victim had sustained
only one serious wound-a deep cut on
the head, though his face and body were
badly bruised. He was able 10 return
unassisted to his home.
