Or. Nathanisl Bowditch, the famous
mathematician. made four voyages in
the ships Of his merchant friend. Mr..
Derby Of Salem. Although l,octor
Bowditch knew little about actual
seamanship, writes Mr.. r. e. Peabody
In Merchant Ventures Of Old Salem"
he was one Of the worlds greatest
authorities on navigation. At sea he
used to instruct the crew In navtga-
tion, until all hands. even down to
the cook. understood the art. Rev.
Alexander Young. In his memorial dis
course on Bowditch. tells an amusing
incident of the voyage Of the Astrea
II. to the Philippines.
AT Manila. . scotchman named
Murray asked Captain Prince how he
sontrivsd to keep his course, In the
face Of the northeast monsoon. by
mere dead reckoning. without the use
Of lunars. It was . common notion at
that time among British seamen that
the Americans did not know how to
work lunar observations.
Captain Prince told Mr.. Murray
that he had . crew of twelve men.
every one Of whom could take and
work . lunar observation as we'll. for
all practical purposes, a. old Sir
Isaac Newton himself. Murray was
perfectly astounded at this. and actu-
ally went down to the landing place
one Sunday morning to see this know
ing crew come ashore. Doctor Bow
ditch was present at this converse
ton. and As Captain Prince says. sat

but held his slate pencil in his

To quote again from Mr.. Young:
Captain Prince says that one day
the supercargo said to him. Come.
captain, let us 60 forward and SEQ
what the sailors are talking about,
under the lee Of the long-bos 1t They
went forward accordingly. and the
captain was surprised to nnd the
sailors, instead of spinning their long
yarns. earnestly engaged with book.
slate and pencil, and discussing the
high matters Of tangents and secants,
altitude, dip and refraction. Two Of
them in particular were disputing
very zealously. One Of them called
out to the other, We'll. Jack. what
have you got?
"'I've got the sine,' was the an
swer.
"'But that ain't right said the
other. I say 1t is the cosine.'"
At Salem 1t was considered the
highest recommendation Of seaman
that ,he had sailed in the same ship
With Doctor Bowditch. That fact
alone was often sufficient to procure
for him an officers berth.-Youth's

The heating of buildings was a
well understood art several thousand
years ago. In the palmy days of
Pompeii's early existence, before its
burial under volcanic ashes, the old
Roman baths were heated by steam,
and in a better and far more scien-
>tific manner than is followed at the
present time. The walls of the build
ings were double, and the steam, at
atmospheric pressure, was carried up
through these walls, all around the
room to be warmed, bringing them
to a temperature apprONmating that
of the steam, and the occupants of
the rooms were thus exposed to a
radiation of warmth from all direc-

Lady Churchill. But not all the

and with tears said, why do YOU
persist in marrying my son when
he is younger than your own son.
Lady Churchill replied. I'VE love
each other and will have MANY
years OF happiness together"
Ihen Mrs. CCrnwalli West, the
mother-in-law, played her trump

We are an old family. 1t is I'M

And all this time the Princess
OF Pless and tho girl, Shielagh
CornwallisWest, who was to be-
come the Duchess of Westminster,
carried on their warfare against
the match. The Boer War was in
progress. George Ills West
was an officer; he was home on
leave when his love affair with
Lady Churchill was under way.
His mother, as a last resort. ap-
pealed to the Prince Of Wales and
all at once orders came for him to
return at once to his regimenN
He had to go. The day he
marched through the : streets Of
London on his way 10 the station,
Lady Randolph stood on the side
walk and wept. and the young
soldier wept too. He looked then,
and still looks, ten years younger
than his real age. This made his
iiancee look all the more mature.
Blond. slender and rather weak In
expression, even to-day, although he
is now in the late thirties, George
Cornwallis- West is taken TO be but
twenty five.
But the Corvallis Vests and the
Prince Of Wales reckoned without
their host If they thought that
their battle was won.
Before the transport with the
sad lover on board reached Cape
Town, Lady Randy was sailing for
South Africa on board the hospital
ship Maine, and her lover was sick
IN bed with curious disease that
the doctor on board could not cure.
When the Maine reached Cape
Town. Lady Randy found that her
lover. supposedly i'll from a sun
stroke, had been invalided home
and that she had passed him on the
way over. Score again for the
Princess OF Pless and the Prince
OF Wales
But there could be but one end
for this romance and this end was
marriage. The Lady Randy re-
turned post haste to England and
AT once the lovers fell into each
others arms and the wedding took
place in July. 1t was plain even TO
the War Office and the Prince Of
Wales that the young officer could
not return TO South Africa IT, was
found out that instead Of suffering
from sunstroke, young Corvallis

than the woman he married. Her
prophecy has been fulfilled He
has grown to hate the woman who
is sixty years old to-day, but VINO

During the three years that Corn

sue for divorce, but he has wanted

wrong.
1t was as though he said to her,

On March 8, therefore. Mrs.
Cornwallis-West instituted restltu-

sci ordered that her husband re-
turn to her and resume conjugal

her to enter suit in the Easter

woman named is one OF no i'm

Mrs. Corvallis West on winning
