CARRIED FIRE FROM POWDER
Bravery and Presence Of Mind Of
British Soldiers That Averted a
Terrible Disaster.

On the taking of Siudad Rodrigo, in
1912. by the British army under We'll
lington, Captain William Jones Of the
b2nd regiment, having captured a
French officer, employed bis prisoner
IN pointing out quarters for hts men.
The Frenchman could not speak Eng
lish, and Captain Jones-a fiery
Welshman, whom 1t was the fashion
In the regiment to term Jack Jones"
knew no French; but dumb show
supplied the want of language, and
some Of the company were lodged in
a large store pointed out by the
Frenchman, who then led the way to
a church, near which Lord Wellington
and his staff were standing But no
sooner had the guide stepped into the
building than he started back, crying.
"Sacre bluel" and ran out in the ut

ever went on. and perceived that the
church had been used as a powder
magazine by the French; barrels
We're standing round samples of their
contents lay scattered on the pave
ment, and in the midst was a fire,
probably lighted by some Portuguese
soldiers. Captain Jones and the ser
geant entered the church, took up the
burning embers brand by brand, bore
them safely over the scattered pow.
der, and out Of the church, and thus
ayerted the most terrific disaster.

T0MBS OF SAND.
Cape Gods Treacherous Shoals Are
the Burying Ground Of Many
a Ship.

Secrets of the sands of Cape Cod are
constantly being disclosed by the sea.
In the many storm tides that food the
desolate beaches the hulks Of stanch
ships lost along the coast on the half
hundred miles of beaches between Mo
nomoy at Chatham and Wood End at
Provincetown are frequently exhumed
from tOmbS of sand.
Sometimes a wreck appears that has
been buried a century or more, as in
the case a few years ago of the bones
OF the British frigate Somerset, whose
tjmbers Of oak were disclosed to view
back Of ProvincetOwn, near the life
saving station in Dead Mems Hollow.
The Somerset was lost on Peaked Hill
bars Nov. 2 or 8, 1878.
Once a vessel is gripped by the sands
the process of entOmbing her goes on
with great rapidity, the craft appear
ing TO sink steadily in the yielding
beach. All around the doomed vessel
the sand piles up in great drifts, like
snow. Every crevice of the hull is
quickly filed. The sand rises in a solid
barrier outside it and flows about ii
as the tides flood the shelving beaches
Finally it sweeps over the wreck, and
the process of entombing goes on until
the entombed craft is covered many
feet deep.-BOston Globe.

but used the word ''blOw" and made
it rhyme with snow and flow. When
they wished to sing of the beautiful

they called it the ''bIOwth." This

Weatheruise Birds and Fish.

The seaguH makes a splendid living
barometer. If a c0vey Of seagulls fly
seaward early in the morning sailors
and fishermen know that the day will

haze hanging out toward the sea to

folk know that the elements viii be
UnfavOrable. Of all weatherwise fish
the dolphin is the most remarkable.

The Peanut.

The common peanut originally came
probably from tropical America. Pea
nuts were introduced into the United
States in the days of the colonies. BO-
tanically the peanut belongs to the
same group Of plants as beans and
peas, but the peanut natures its fruit
or nut under the surface of the soil,
not above ground, as do most other
leguminOus plants. Properly speaking,
the peanut is a pea rather than nut,
the term nut" having been added on
account of its flavor. which is similar
to that of many of the true nuts. The
peanut is known under the local
names Of goober, go0ber pea, pindar,

DEAD SEA WATER.
Il Contains % Per Cent Of Solid Mat
ter, or More Than Double That
of the Red Sea.

The Dead sea contains % per cent
Of solid matter and is bulk for bulk
heavier than the human body.
Many believe that it is impossible to
swim in this sea, and even in Jerusa-
lem ridiculous fables are told as to the
impOssibility of bathing there and that
nc animals or vegetation can exist
near its shores.
SO far as swimming is concerned,
the excessive buoyancy of the water
simply renders it difficult to make
much headway, but a swim is both
feasible and enjoyable. Care should
be taken, however, not to let the water
get into the eyes.
Indeed, did Palestine belong to any
power but Turkey probably the north
ern shore Of the Dead sea would be a
popular bathing station. No doubt the
chloride Of magnesia which enters so
largely into the composition Of the
water would be found to have medici-
nal and curative properties.
Perhaps a better idea Of the density
OF the water Of this inland sea may
be realized from the following statis-
tics: In u ton Of water from the Cas-
plan sea there are eleven pounds OF
salt; in the Baltic, eighteen pounds; In
the Black sea, twenty-six pounds; in
the Atlantic, thirty-One pounds; in the
English channel, seventy-twO pounds;
in the Mediterranean, eighty-five
pounds; in the Red sea, ninety-three
pounds: in the Dead sea, 49, pounds
