The Swell of the Ocean

Nj IGHT and day, storm or calm the
IN lungs of the ocean. the heaving
bosom expands and contracts as do
the human lungs. The power of this
marine breathing apparatus no man can
measure. 1 take up my glasses and
pick up on the horizon a four smoke
stacked fore and aft, crownested, tur-
reted battleship. belching forth cubic
feet of carbon unburnt from its spa
cious stacks. leaving telltaie trail
for miles after it. And why, by the
way, not smokeless coal in the future.
now that we have smokeless powder,
and thus mask the whereabouts of a
battleship as can not be easily done
now under certain limitations
So find the ship on the horizon. and
although the sea shines in its smooth
ness and quietude like a huge slab of
polished lapis lazuli. vet see the great
ship as it plows its way along
rise and fall like cork upon the water
of zephyr disturbed millpond. Yet
the great hulk of iron and steel, laden
down with thousands of tons of yet
more iron and steel, rises and falls
upon the oceans bosom. AS if with
the effort it might involve in moving
the little finger, this mighty mass of
steel, crowded with stores and also
with human beings. is raised and low
cred. The effort of raising and lower
ing the lid of the eye could be easily
compared with the visible effort put
forth by the ocean in raising and low
ering that great inanimate fighting
mass of steel.
So. when we talk of a coal famine
and the world freezing to death be-
cause of the exhaustion of our coal
beds and forests, there vet remain the
rivers and the waterfalls and the wind,
as yet undeveloped sources of heat and
power, and then the mighty ocean car
rying in one combined pulsation of its
azure palpitating bosom enough force
to turn every machine, run every car
and light every home and cook every
meal and warm every dwelling upon
the wide EARTH and yet have power ito
burn" as it were, left over.

Little Offerings

MY offering is small said a beam to a
flower,
But I'll shine. if you like, on you just
for an hour;
For the shower that's just over has
drenched you so much.
And think you will welcome my soft
golden touch"
So the flower spread its petals to wei
come the light,
And its tint grew more lovely, and
radiant and bright.
Just to shine for an hour-twas
small gift. indeed,
But twas just what the blossom then
happened to need.
Il can't help you much said the
breeze to a lily,
But the day has been hot and the eve
is SO Silly
You are covered with dust; so if were
to blow,
think it would help you little. you
know.
SO the zephyr blew softly the dust all
away.
And freshened the lily grown faint
with the day
And it's little white cups once more
were upiift-
Just little breeze blew, yet how well
come gift.
"It is only some crumbs that must
throw away"
Said a child to robin one cold wintry
day.
But if you are hungry. of them you'll
be glad,
For you seem to be looking detected
and sad"
And the bird took the offering-'twas
simple, indeed
But it came in a moment of uttermost
need
And the robin. most grateful gave
back before long
A small stave or two of its very best
song.

An amusing incident which those

who witnessed it on Sunday morning
will not soon forget happened
when an old negro attempted to gain
admission to Independence hall, at
Sixth and Chestnut streets, on that
day.
The room containing the portraits
of the signers and relics and souvenirs
of the revolution was thrown open
for the first time on Sunday, but
only descendants were admitted by
the guard at the door.
The negro, seeing the visitors filing
in the building, endeavored to pass
in also. but vas halted by the uni
formed guard, who said to him:
