Ship Barnacles,

One of the worst nuisances that
sailors have to put up with is bar
nacles. Barnacles abound in almost
all seas, attaching themselves in
great numbers to logs of wood, the
bottoms of ships and other floating
materials.
The common or ship barnacle is a
species of shellfish It Is distin-
guished by a long, flexible stalk that
is provided with muscles by means Of
which the creature can elongate or
contract itself at will. Upon the end
of the stalk there are five shelly
valves, the principal organs Of the ami
NAL being closed within. These valves
open and close to admit of the bar
nacle spreading out and drawing back
its net, an apparatus by which it OBJ
tains food.
Ship barnacles congregate in such
numbers on ships that the latter's
sailing powers are seriously impaired.
The creatures grow rapidly, at the
same time undergoing such wonderful
transformation that they are objects
Of interesting study.

BERT ZABnSSKIE WELCOMED
BY HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS
AT M0NTvILLE, N. J..
Long Absence Seemingly Only
Had Made Hearts Grow Fond
er-Share of His Fathers Es-
tate Waiting for Him, With a
Welcome From the Grand
daughter He Had Never Seen.

ONTVILLE, N. 1.-THE row.
AH Ing fever had got into Bert
Zabriskie's blood, and it made
AvA him f1dget. He dreamed of
the wide-stretching prairies,
and the valleys lying snug and warm
at his home here, became pitifully mar
row; he thought of the lofty peaks Of
the Rockies, and the wooded ridge
back of Boonton shrunk to an ant
hill; he pictured the distant great wa
ters reaching down a thousand miles
to the sea, and the prattle of the
Roekaway river winding in and out
among the swales above the old mill
sounded like childish mockery.
These were symptoms.
All the thirty-odd years of his life
Bert Zabriskie had lived in one neigh
borhood. There he had married.
There two daughters had been born.
But the fever reached it's height, as
all fevers must, and he struck out.
He didn't take his family with him.
Other men have struck out that way.
Boonton and Montville gossiped. 9th
er towns have done that, too.
And this ends chapter one, except
TO say that some Of our best doctors
have been trying for years to find
some sort of blood purifier that would
allay the rowing fever in country bred

thing yet Dosing doesn't seem to do

Deal That Meant Wealth.

Jersey City was down in the Rocka-
way river country to establish water
system and bull" a great reservoir. Ia
briskie owned the water rights on the
river and Jersey City had to see him
first. There's more money in water
rights than there is in grinding neigh
borhood corn. Zabriskie drove a
harp bargain and became rich at just
the time of his life when he wanted to
knock off work for good. 1t looked
then as If he would live out his years
in contentment, but you never can tell
bout such things. Son Bert took the
fever and struck out. Months passed
and nothing was heard from him.
One day Lawyer Nelson S. Kitchell
was summoned opposite the mill. He
found the old man rather poorly and
anxious to have his worldly affairs
set in order, for he felt that his end
vas fast approaching.
A will had been drawn dividing the
estate into three parts, but as the
rover's whereabouts was unknown, a
odicil was added providing that Bert s
hare should be held in trust by the ad-
ministrators until his young daugh-
ter should reach the age Of "a. II
the absent son should return before
that time he could claim his share;
af not the two granddaughters were to
divide ii.
Done With Earthly Troubles.
This provision being set forth In
detail to his liking, the miller scratch
ed his name to the document and wit
nesses appended theirs.
There being no further call to the
grist bin. and enforced idleness having
added its burden to the weight of his
four times twenty years, the miller
fell into a rapid decline and in mid
January, four years ago. Grape flut-
tered at the door Of the homestead
and the death hush was in the spare
room.
The rover did not return for the fu-
neral. He sent no word. His where
abouts remained unknown to Mont
vile. Years had piled up since he had
strucil out. The old mans viii be-
came operative.
And this brings the second chapter

Estate Duly Divided.

Estate Duly Divided.
In the orderly way of probate law,
Mrs. Cora Van Duyne and Mrs. Eliza
beth Ball, the immediate women heirs
to the miller's estate, got their con-
siderable shares, and the Court Of
Chancery in and for Morris county,
upon application, directed the execu-
tors to apply the income of the rover's
share of the estate to the mainte-
nance of the stay-athome wife and
mother and daughters, the latter now
having grown out of, shoe-top frocks
and passed from the braid-down-the-
back period into the early stage of
young womanhood.
Upon the settlement of the estate
Mrs. Van Duyne and her husband, the
latter's health requiring a change, re-
moved from Montville straight across
the country to Pasadena. CAL, where
they settled.
Long-Lost Brother Found.
One day last winter, while motoring
about in the new country, Mrs. Van
Duyne visited Los Angeles. She was
driving her car along one Of the ave-
nues toward the suburbs when troll
ley crossing at an angle halted her.
The motorman, capped and coated
in blue, turned his head in her direc-
ton. She recognized him at once.
The motorman was her long-missing
brother.
AS soon as possible she arranged
to meet him. 1t was a reunion with
out formality.
And what a lot of things there was
to tell-the death of the good old faith
err just as he had rounded out his
eightieth year, and of how up to the
very last he had had only the kindest
thoughts for the absent son; of the
will and the codicil thereto, which
safeguarded the one-third share; of
his own loyal wife and the daughters,
and of the marriage of one to as likely
a chap as there is in the valley, and
of the new baby with eyes like it's
mothers, and just learning to toddle;
of the fire which had reduced the old
homestead to ashes-all these things
and more there were to tell in a rec
ord of the years that had come and
gone since he had struck out.
Rover Arranges to Go Home.
There was some telegraphing and
some letter writing on the part Of the
sister, and some hesitation on the
part of the rover, all of which was
quite natural, and as matters of the
sort are bound to be settled if only
they are helped along in the right
way. Bert Zabriskie finally decided to
return.
Bronzed from life In the open, with
hair Just little thin at the temples,
but otherwise looking much as he did
when the fever attacked him, Bert
Zabriskie arrived back in Montville-
back to the valley which was no long
er pitifully narrow; to the sight of
the wooded ridge which has resumed
its normal, and to the river, which
now prattles welcome.
How quickly the news jumped from
farm to farm and from town to town,
Why, in less than a week everybody
for miles around knew about it, and
pretty everybody said he was mighty
glad Bert'd got back, for he was a
lot better than some folks that had
talked about him.
Old friends drove around to see him
and say hello and get line on what
the far west was like as far as he had
been. Some acted Just as If they were
on the verge OF the fidgets, too, for
when a rover returns to his native
