day morning from Seattle announced
to the home folks that the girls
were safe. A letter was received
on the morning OF July ith In which
Miss Bessie Rourke gives an account
OF their experience as follows;
THE second night out the ship
ran on to rock about IL o'clock.
We had gone to bed but ! was not
asleep when the crash came. You
may know what excitement there was
on board when they told us to dress.
We could see the sailors getting the
lifeboats ready. We girls got partly
dressed. We could see that we were
very near land. as after striking the
rock. the boat made for the shore
az fast as possible. We were about
the first to scramble on deck and
get into n lfeboat and only got. our
feet wet. One of the lifeboats was
turned over and one woman drowned.
They brought her ashore, but she
died In few minutes Another
woman died of fright in her state
room. and these two were the only
lives lost. II was terrible. A ship
coming this way took us aboard about
10 o'clock Saturday morning. OF
course We lost everything but what
we had on. Most people did not
have hats. and many only ntghtgowns
and kimonas. We have had enough
of Alaska and will try to leave for
home Sunday morning II we can get
reservations. We have to get some.
thing to wear today. We saved our
pocketbooks and railroad tickets. Our

NORTH MAGNETIC POLE.
It Is Not Stationary Point, but Is
Constantly Shifting.

1t Is Not Stationary Point, but Is
Constantly Shifting.
Only the experts understand that the
north pole and the north magnetic pole
are two entirely different things. AS a
matter Of fact, there are few localities
on the earth's surface where the COM
pass points due north. The reason is
because the north magnetic pole or
area lies In the vicinity of King Will
liam's Land, just off the arctic coast
Of North America, in Bothnia. When
this magnetic pole is between us and
the north pole the compass points due
north. AS we go either east or west
from this line it is easy to see that
the compass is off to a certain degree.
If we We're to travel north of the mag
netic pole the needle would point
south; west of it the needle would
point east. Sir James Ross in 1881
located the north magnetic pole ap-
prOximately at point up in Bothnia.
In 1908 Captain Road Amundsen in
the ship Gjoa set out on three years
expedition, relocated the magnetic
pole and made the northwest pas
sage" for which mariners have striven
since the days Of Henry Hudson. Ter
restrlal magnetic force is different in
every part Of the earth's surface and
is not always the same at a given
point, 1t is subject to regular daily
and yearly changes. Amundsen post
ed himself near the seat of the mag
netlc power and for nineteen months,
day and night, with his party, took
readings of their instruments, both in
clination and decllnation. He also
made short excursions into the region
Of the magnetic pole and was able by
the aid of the declination observations
to prove that the magnetic north pole
does not have stationary situation,
but is continually moving. But the
general location is where Sir James
Ross first had the honor to place it

Lord Rrouaham,s oratory.

We have no orator in the least like
Lord Brougham since the close OF
Brougham's public career. Everything
that nature could do so far as appear
ance, manner and voice were concern
ed she had done to prevent him from
being a great orator. and yet a great
orator he undoubtedly was. | wonder
what the house of lords just now
would think of a peer who gesticu-
lated and beloved as Brougham was
in the habit Of doing. But it was i'm
possible to listen to Brougham and
not be carried away by the force Of
his intellect, by his torrent Of words,
by the sudden whirl and eddy of his
rapid illustrations and by the longer
and shorter stretches Of quietude and
repose into which his argument occa-
sionally flowed.-From Justin McCar-
thy's "reminiscences"

Told Who He Was.

DR.. Beadon, a former rector in Ell
than, Kent, England, one Sunday
preached from the text "Who art
thouY After reading it he made a
pause for the congregation to reflect
upon the words, when a man in mill
tary dress who at that instant was
marching very sedately up the middle
aisle of the church, supposing it a
question addressed to him, replied, 81
am, sir, an officer of the Sixteenth
regiment of foot on a recruiting party
here, and, having brought my wife
and family with me, 1 am come to
church because l wished to be ac-
quainted with the neighboring clergy
and gentry" This so deranged the
divine and astonished the congrega-
tion that the sermon was concluded
with considerable difficulty.

On Their Shape Depends the Force of
Birds WING Strokes.

2 On Their Shape Depends the Force OF
Birds Wing Strokes.
Scientists call the "wishbone" the
furcula, ard it is the union of what
are in man two collar bones. These
receive the brunt of the strokes of the
wing that turn the creature in its
fight.
Few of us appreciate the strength
of the stroke of the birds wing. A
swan has been known to break a
mans leg by a blow of its wing, and
In like manner the wing beatings of
the larger birds are dangerous If they
strike the human head or face. If.
therefore, a large bird is in the habit
Of making sudden turns to right or
left in its fight it must be fitted with
a 'wishb0ne" capable Of withstanding
the great strain of the wing stroke on
the one side when unaccompanied by
action on the other.
For this reason we find in the eagle
and birds of its class that turn quickly
q furcula that is a perfect Roman
arch, widely at variance with the
Gothic arch, which is the shape of the
"wishbone" of our common fowls. The
eagles furcula is everywhere equally
strong and lacks those points of weak
ness that make our sport of breaking
the "Wishbone" possible. - Harpers

Ringing For cofer.

Among the queer church customs in
England is the one observed at New
ark parish church, called ringing for
gofer." This custom, which has lasted
for over 800 years, arose through a
wealthy merchant named Gofer losing
himself one October night in the forest
that then surrounded Newark. He
carried much money and the forest
was infested with thieves. Suddenly
he heard the sound Of Newark bells
and was guided safely home by their
music. To commemorate his escape
Gofer left a goodly sum for Newark
bell ringers on condition that they
rang for Gofer' every year on Sun
day nights in October and November.
