DRAMATIC FUNERAL
ON BOARD ARABIC
Thursday Night. as She Was Driver
Through Terrific Hurricane =
Arrived in New York Sunday.


New York, oan. 2.+One of the
most dramatic funerals that ever
took place at sea took place on
Thursday midnight on the steamship
Arabic as she drove through hurri-
cane and snow was whipped with
stinginp force against the cheek Of
Purser Cummins as he stood with
an open prayerbook, a sailor holding
a lantern beside him, and tried to
read the service for the dead.
Three times the services were i'll
terrupted as the officer was thrown
across the slippery deck of the
plunging liner.
The sailor paifbearers, with great
difficulty, held to all that was mortal
of their dead companion. while thc
steward hastily read the sacred
lines.
Captain Finch. in charge of the
vessel, chung to shrOud with both
hands.
1t was necessary for the purser
to shout the affecting words of the
Church of England service so that
the watch about him could hear it
above the noise of the storm.
The flag Of Great Britain that
covered the dead form was MNite
with the wet driven snow. The h. u
ricane ali the while sang tie diree of
the man who persisted As he kept his
watch in the crows nest in the Bit
ing wind of Christmas night when all
the rest OF the world was merry.
The Arabic arrived in New York
Sunday. She had been, more like a
submarine than anything else all the
way over. Her decks were awash
for three days. For two 24-hour
periods she logged only It's knots,
although her usual days run is about
400 sea miles. f. %
/ The gale that came first from the
northeast shifted later to the north
west. 1t caught her on her aft
starboard quarter and then forward.
1t swung her over and made her fair
ly dance in the trough of the noun
famous waves. | ~. "' u
At times there was biting. blind
ing snow. At others it was intense
ly cold. The decks were uninhabi-
table and it was thankful lot of
voyagers who came ashore when the
boat tied up.

Casualties of the Cradle.

The burden of Prussia's military
state. not spared even to the babes in
their cradles. has proved too much for
some Of the younger members of the
royal families. In THE House of
Hohenzollern" Mr.. Brayley Hodgetts
mentions that the two sons whom the
first crown princess of Prussia bore
her husband lat the beginning of the
eighteenth century, both died in their
cradles. one from nervous shock
caused by the salute from heavy guns
with which his arrival was heralded
and the other from the burden of n
golden crown which was placed on his
head after baptism.

sALAMAADEa SUPERSTITION.
How the Reptile May Have Got sts
Fireproof Reputation.

Fireproof Reputation.
There is a very ancient belief that
the reptile known as the salamander
is proof against fire. 1t is not known
how this superstition had its rise. but
it will probably always continue to be
held by some people. although it has
been conclusively shown that the fire.
proof qualities of the creature exist
only in Imagination.
DR.. Stejneger. reptilian expert at the
Smithsonian institution. tells story
which may furnish a reason for the
continuance Of the belief in question.
"Once 1 was camping out" he says.
with a party Of friends. hunting and
fishing. We had lighted a big fire.
using for fuel several old logs. While
we were seated around watching the
progress of some cookery in which we
were engaged a young lady Mt my
side gave q little scream and pointed
into the flames. looked. and there
was a small salamander crawling
right out from among the glowing
embers. It walked away unhurt and
made its escape.
Nov, that salamander had occu-
pied a hole in one of the logs used
for fuel. Several species of its kind
live in old tree trunks. Doubtless this
one found that it was getting uncom-
fortably hot and crawled out. Being
moist and Shiny. its body was protect
ed from iniury by fire long enough TO
enable it to escape through the en-
bers. But the sight of the lizard de-
liberately making it's appearance from
the midst of the fire was certainly
very surprising. Any ignorant person
might easily have been led to imagine
that the creature was tireproof. 1t
seemed to me quite probable that the
superstition took its origin from just
such occurrences."-New York World.

Harrodsburg, Ky, Dee. 30, 1911.
Hon. R. R. Perry,
Winchester, Ky.
Dear SIR
/ have never had the pleasure of
your personal acquaintance, but
noting in the press dispatches that
you are advocating the nomination
of Col. Roosevelt for President in
1912, / take the liberty of addressing
you.
On December s, / think it was, the
Louisville Post published a state
ment from me, in which / gave rea-
sons why / thought conditions in the
Republican party demanded the NOM
inatioh of Col. Roosevelt. | am of the
same opinion now, as then, with the
additional consciousness that | am
more confirmed in them than ever.
Without attempting any argument
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of his nominal
ton, merely wish to comment on
the remarkable unaninimity which
characterizes the reasons for his
nominations as advanced by hi,
friends and admirers.
1t seems to be impressed upon
the minds of thousands of disinter-
ested and loyal Republicans that po-
litical conditions now existing de-
mand that he become our "Moses."
to lead his party through a wilder
ness of dangers into the promised
land" But his friends must get to-
gether.
Very sincerely yours,
