A SHIP IN A STORM.
The Peril When Wind and Water Rage
In Opposite Directions.

The Peril When Wind and Water Rage
In Opposite Directions.
In q storm at sea, with a gale blow
ing in one direction and the sea run
ming in the opposite direction, it takes
a stanch ship TO stand the water pres
sure on one side and the contrary wind
pressure on the other.
Stability is one of the greatest prob
lens to the constructor OF a steamship.
Naturally the center Of gravity should
be low The hull must be Of such a
form that when the vessel rolls to one
side the center OF buoyancy shall move
sufficiently far to that same side for
the forces of buoyance acting upward
to right the vessel.
A badly designed ship is liable to
many dangers II light in the stern the
screw may come out OF the water. race
and be snapped Off. If too low in the
stern when running before a storm
breaking waves may fall on board and
so tend to swamp the vessel. 4 ship
may be topheavy; there comes a mo-
ment when the upward force Of buoy
ancy no longer tends to right the ship,
but instead exerts its force in pushing
the ship still farther out of perpendicu-
lar, with the result that she capsizes.-

Making Ip an Actnr-

In making up an amateur actor
should remember that as little paint as
possible should be used, for, while ii Is
easy to disguise by a thick mask OF
pigment. the heavier the makeup the
more difficult it is to convey sensitive
emotional variations by the changing
expression OF the face. II It is posi-
bic TO arrange ones own hair in a way
suitable to the cfSracter so much the
better, for. though it may in no way
seem more real than a wig. it will
prove infinitely more comfortable
When the actor looks as much like the
part as he possibly can without the aid
OF artificial disguise he begins TO apply
