The Heroism Of n Girl

CAPT. A. n. Rostron. in scibner's Magazine
We heard Of many great and noble
deeds Of self-sacrihce performed by
those on the Titanic that night: tales of
heroism and bravery Of men and women,
Of men who had everything In this world
to live for, men who were sending away
in the boats those who were dearest on
earth to them. those on the boats leaving
on the ship those most dear to them in
the whole world. Men who had 50 much
of this worlds honors and riches and yet
at the great test they showed the world
they had still greater gifts-the gift OF
great and noble self-sacrifice and self
command.
Standing out equal to each or any. and
superbly noble, was that Of q young girl.
A boat full of women and ready for
lowering was found to be too full and
the order was given for some one to get
young .woman--a girl, really-got up to
leave the boat; then some Of the others
tried to persuade her to remain
NO." she said. you are married and
have families: I'm not; 1t doesn't matter
about me!'
This giri-woman In the highest noblest
sense got out Of the boat and returned
to the deck of the ship. Those In the
boat were saved, the girl on deck went
down with the ship. From being in a
position to be saved she deliberately re-
turned to the uncertainty, and so gave
her life willingly that others might have
better chance OF being saved

How an elephant Was Weighed.


In India they often tell Il story Of
Shahji, Hindu prince who on Ger
tain occasion showed himself almost as
clever as Archimedes. A high Official
had made a vow that he would dis
tribute to the poor the weight Of his
own elephant in silver money. But
how should be 60 about It to learn
what the weight really was? All the
learned and clever men Of the court
labored in vain to construct mDchine
Of sufficient strength to weigh the eli.
phant At length Shahji came forward
and suggested a plan that was as SIM
pie us 1t was ingenious. He caused the
unwieldy animal to be conducted along
stage specially made for the purpose
into a dat bottomed boat. Then. hav-
ing marked on the boat the height to
which the water reached after the ele-
phant had weighed 1t down. he had
the animal led out and stones substitlIt-
ed In sufficient quantity to sink tie
boat to the same line. The stones
were then taken to the scales and
weighed one by one. Thus. to the nd
miration of the court, Shahji discover
cd the true weight of the elephant.
