but perhaps with more reason. A new
thing cannot possibly be accepted I'M
til it has proved itself better than that
which it displaces. The first cannons
were possibly rejected, and the Chris
tan inventor took them to the Turk,
who used them at the siege of Con-
stantinople The first firearms were
bitterly opposed because they destroy
ed the soldierly bearing Of the troops.
The British navy stTenuousiy objected
to the first large guns because one
charge would cost as much as one OF
Nelson's broadsides. Ericsson's Mon

LIVING Liahts Of the Sea.

One of the marine curiOsities fished
from the bottom of the Indian ocean
by a dredging vessel chartered by the
Calcutta Society of Natural History
was a mammoth sea crab, which con
tinually emitted a bright white light,
similar to that seen in the spasmodic
flashes of phosphorescent luminosity
kindled by the common frefies The
oddly was captured in daytime and
placed in large tank, nothing pecul
lar except its immense size being no
ticeable in the broad glare of the
tropical sun. At night, however, when
all was in pitchy darkness, the crab
surprised the naturalists by lighting
up the tank so that all the other sea
creatures, great and small, occupying
the same tank could be plainly seen
When the luminous crustacean was
prodded with pole he emitted flashes
of light, which enabled the expert
mentors to read small print, even
though otherwise they were in total
darkness. -London Chronicle.

Luck In Golf.

Luck, as will readily be understood,
Is factor that enters very largely
into golf Perhaps the most notable
case on record is that of Jamie An
derson when competing for the cham
pionship at Prestwick in 1878. He had
Just teed his ball for the seventeenth
drive when a little girl standing
among the spectators remarked that
he had unconsciously placed it just in
front of the proper line. Although
nobody else had noticed the fact, this
proved on examination by the referee
to be correct. Thereupon Anderson
teed his ball again in fresh position
well behind the line and made drive
which landed him in the hole and
eventually enabled him to win the
match If, however, he had played 1t
from the original spot he would have
been penalized a stroke and have lost
the championship Clearly then. luck
