IN DISASTER AT SEA
TRAVELLER TELLS OF ACTIONS OF
FELLOW PASSENGERS. !
Little Excitement, Although All Knew

Deep ThankfuIness for Preser.
walton From Death.

have often wondered how people
would act, how l myself would feel,i
In the event of disaster at sea. I
had the opportunity Of finding out, the
other night, when In the darkest hour
lust before dawn, in a dense fog, the
ship on which had sailed from South
ampton, the New York, was rammed
by the Pretoria, 400 miles from New
York.
was awakened by the stopping OF
our engines and the violent churning
Of the screw as the ship backed wa
ter. Then. out of the impenetrable
darkness was heard the hoarse shrek
Of another foghorn than our own,
which, at intervals Of minute, had
been believing for hours. knew that
mother vessel was approaching. and
avery minute drawing nearer.
Then came a shock, sharp though
not very violent, and / knew we had
been struck. Sailors and stewards
rushed past to take up their station at
the boats, and two or three minutes
later the huge bulk OF the Pretoria,
lowering above our craft, glided by 80
near that l could touch her with my
hand, while she tore away part Of our
bulwarks in passing.
Then the passengers began to pour
up from the cabins in scanty attire,
many with life preservers buckled on.
There were no Mysteries, and surpris-
ngly little evident excitement, but all
quietly awaited the end which we
thought was near, until in few min
utes the officers reported that the hole
In our side was above the water line.
II was big enough, however, to admit
two or three trolley cars abreast, and
huge anchor of the Pretoria, weigh
Ing FIVE tons, was found imbcdded in
our bow, while the iron plates OF our
ship we're twisted up like shavings.
For nearly twenty-four hours more
the fog continued with brief intermis-
sion. and this evidently got on the
nerves OF the passengers even more
than the shock OF the first moment
Of the collision. Some tried TO throw
of their nervousness by singing rag
time tunes, others by playing cards,
and not few, am glad to say. by
looking to higher power, and remem-
bering that the father In heaven ruled
the waves.
II was time when many hearts
were tender. and any appeal to their
gratitude and reverence went home.
Sunday morning. the next day after
the accident, just before reaching port.
/ asked permission OF the purser to
hold thanksgiving service, which
was readily granted. never knew an
audience to be more responsive. There
were few dry eyes In the crowded
music room as we voiced our gratitude
in song and prayer and brief words OF
thanksgiving. Tears streamed down
the faces OF many strong men, and tho
impressive service will never be for
gotten by any who attended.-Chris-

ICE CREAM IN FANCY SHAPES
moldlng Makes Dellcaoy More Appe-
tlzlng and Pleasing to tho
Little Folks.

After becoming expert at making
Ice cream, the housewife naturally
longs to try her hand at serving 1t In
fancy molds. II is we'll to begin on
the common brick or cylinder, and
then experiment on fancy shapes. The
trick lies in very quick. tight packing
Of the molds and the deft. skillful
turning out Of the shapes at serving
time. Freeze the cream firm and
solid, have a rather shallow tub over
which you can bend easily, cover the
bottom to the depth Of about four
inches with cracked ice and rock salt.
Chill the molds, pack them quickly
with the frozen cream and cover the
seams between molds and lid with
strips of cotton cloth dipped in
melted paraffin. This prevents the
entrance OF salty water into the
molds.
AS fast as a mold Is filed, pack Il
into the Ice and cover them all with
cracked ice, three parts. and coarse
salt one part. When serving, hold the
mold under running cold water, wipe
It of carefully. remove the paraffin
paper, open the mold quickly with
cloth dipped In hot water.

New Theory About Gravity.

In an extremely interesting paper on
gravity Professor McLaren considers
the universe as possessing four di.
mensions, and also retains the no
tion OF time. The universe so consld-
cred Is regarded as changeless, but
not timeless. and differs in this re-
spect from Minkowski's four dimen-
sional universe.
Professor McLaren considers that
throughout the universe there is but
one ultimate substance. This sub
stance has, however, two forms, mat
ter" and ether" which are exclusive
one OF the other.
Matter is a region where the fluid
grows or decays. This theory strong
ly resembles that proposed long ago
by Bernard Riemann.
Professor McLaren pleads for an
unprejudiced examination Of these
views. revolutionary as they are, in
view OF the widespread feeling that
there is something amiss with the
classical mechanical theories OF mat
ter.

WHEN MAKING PASTRY
SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE
REMEMBERED.
Ingredients to Be Used Should Always
Be coId-shortenlng Must Not
Be Cut Too Small-care Of
the Under Crust.

Making good pie is the test OF
good cooking; but rich puff paste is
not at all necessary. A well made,
haky pie crust will, in fact, be much
better for the family than the richer
pastry, and with a little experience
and more care even Mrs. Newlywed
should be able to produce specimen
above reproach.
Ingredients for pastry making
should always be cold. A good recipe
for family pie crust Is as follows:
Three cupfuls of -four. one of shorten
Ing, and Ice water to mix (about three
fourths of a cupfuD. Butter and
lard, chicken fat and lard or beef drip.
pings and lard In equal quantities
make a good shortening.
Always sift the -four and also chop
the fat into the -four. II flaky crust
Is wanted the shortening must not be
chopped too fine. Sprinkle the water
In a little at time and toss about
with fork to mix. Turn on Toured
board, dust with flour and roll back
and forth until the paste is oblong
and fold over In three layers. Roll
again and fold, when the paste Is
ready, though 1t will be improved by
setting away In the icebox for an
hour.
THE reason why the shortening
should not be cut too small is that lit.
tie balls Of 1t hardened by the Ice wa.
ter mixed with the -four make the
crust fiaky after the folding and roll
Ing. Fat rubbed into -four until 1t
feels "mealy" makes a short piecrust.
Three rollings are as many as this
paste will stand. To press too much
breaks the balls of fat while they really
should only be flattened. Otherwise
the paste will not rise and pun up in
the oven
Some people use little baking
powder in piecrust. In that case less
shortening is required.
Never use rich paste as an under
crust, because It soaks up the contents
OF the pie. Always cut pastry with a
very sharp knife. II 1t is jagged at all
around the edges the pastry will not
rise SO well. Cuttings and trimmings
should be used for ornamentation or
smaller dishes. Putting several pieces
together to form one large one is not
a success, although 1t will answer, Of
course, for the home table.
To give a glazed appearance to a
pie. brush over with a beaten egg be-
fore putting into the oven. Usually
meat pies are glazed.
Pastry will rise better II put ice
cold into hot oven. When the great
est heat is at the bottom the pie will
bake most successfully, because the
paste will pun up from the heat be-
fore the top has chance to get too
brown.
In making pates roll out the paste
half an inch thick. Cut two rounds
the same size and take a small round
from the center OF one. Use the ring
left for laying on the other round.
Brush with water to make It stick.
The small round is used for a cover
after filling the plate.
