A Matter Of smokestacks

The smokestacks Oh ocean vessels of
recent years have been made to slope
backward more particularly to give the
steamer d rakish air. the masts also
being given the same slope. AS to the
effect on the draft. there is a slight
one, as the wind pressure on the front
OF the stack slipping up and over the
top of the stack is more apt TO draw
the smoke out than TO cut it off. but
from all we are aware of this seems
to have been held of secondary con-
slderation. The shape Of the smoke
stacks also is changing from round TO
oval so as TO present less surface at
the front. If you compare the steam
ers with the sloping and straight
smokestacks. in one case the former
while motionless, still appears to have
life. while the rigidity of the other
gives it an appearance of stiffness

AN ARCTIC RESCUE.
The Feeling When the Relief Ship
Came into View.

Very often during the months OF
daylight we stood on the cliff straining
our eyes TO see the longed for relief
ship. AS the summer of 1908 slipped
or we almost despired. but one day
in July. when hope had almost aban-
doned us. we saw one of the boys
jumping up and down and supposed
that at last his brain had given way
under the strain. In fact, many of us
were almost crazy with the mOnotony
and anxiety that were upon us day
wondered which of us would be the
next TO go off his balance
When we went TO him and saw what
he saw. the long looked for relief ship.
] don't know whether we all jumped
for joy or what we did, for we have
no memory of our actions in that hour.
Quickly each man gathered his little
kit, ready to rush to the boats and
leave forever that island where death
had stared us in the face for sixteen
months and where we had almost
given up all hope of ever again look
ing upon the faces of our loved ones.
In our frantic haste to be gone many
of us left behind relics and records
which we priced and later regretted
the loss Of. AT the end of sixteen
months the relief ship Terra Nova had
arrived, and we steamed TO Norway
where our party divided, some going
to London and others to Germany

Origin Of These Devices Buried IN sl,e
Remote Past.


Scholars have delved IN vain for the
origin Of dice. which in various
shapes. have Deeu used IN forms Of
worship and religious ceremonies since
the dawn OF history Their earlier use
was for the forecasting of events and
obtaining OF divine guidance. Their
adaptation to game OF chance was
comparatively quite recent.
There is a surprising number OF
varieties of dice. but they may be di-
vided into two general classes. The
most familiar form Is the cube. With
two exceptions-the Korean ana Etrus-
caR-cubical dice have the spots so ar
ranged that the six and one. i've and
two and three and four are opposite.
making the sum of the opposite sides
invariably seven. In all ages the num-
Der seven has been regarded with par
ticuIar awe and as having much mys
tic tEaport.
The dice just described are not only
proper to modern Europe and Amer
ica. but to classical Greece ana Rome.
ancient Syria. Persia. India, China.
Japan and Siam. The other form is
the long. square prism sometimes
found amid prehistoric ruins in Europe
and existing today in India.
A most interesting form is the top
or spinning dice. with four or SLY
sides. which was twiried with the
thumb and second finger, of which a
specimen was discovered In the re
mains of Naucratis, Greek colony OF
GOO B. G. Two specimens of dice have
