When once notion becomes firmly

strange how difficult it is to get that
notion out again. For many years all
ships were clumsily built, with the
bow wider than the stern, because
some one had declared that II log eoulG
be towed more easily that way with
the butt end first and the tapering end
last. One day some man who was IN
dependent enough to think for himself
tried the experiment and built shin,
such as those in nse now, with the
bow the narrowest. OF course it in
creased the speed of the ship, and
since that day boats have been built
that way, and logs are towed with the
tapcring end first.
