LONG HELD IN HONOR
6EAMAN'S MAGAZINE OF AN.
GENT HISTORY.
Claims to Be tho Oldest Religious
Publication Of lite Kind In America
Famous for Introduction of
Hymn That Lives.

Oldest Of all religious magazines In
America is the Sailors Magazine,
published by the American Seamen's
Friend society, New York. Started in
1928, 1t has appeared without interrupt
ton ever since. Its monthly issue has
been printed by the same family from
father to son for twenty-five or TWEEN.
ty-eight years. For 60 years its cover
was unaltered-
In this magazine appeared for the
first time the world-famous hymn.
Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me-" It was
written by e. Hopper. then pastor Of
the little old Church of the Sea and
Land. its edifice still standing, but al
most unknown to this generation Of
New Workers. Colonel Roosevelt's
first speech, made when he was a
boy, Is also recorded here. Romances
are traceable through its pages-true
stories of adventure, heroism and
tragedy that make up the life of the
sea.
One such story Ia behind the brief
account of the loan libraries sent to
sea by the dowager duchess Of Aber
deem after her visit to America. The
present earl Of Aberdeen. lord neuten-
ant Of Ireland, had a brother. This
brother was the real heir to the title,
but long years ago he came to this
country from England. and shipped
from here as q common sailor under
the name Of Gordon. He rose to the
position OF mate, but shortly after
that was drowned at sea. His mother
came here and gave in his memory
the libraries that today are multiplied
and sent over the ocean to as great
q number as the funds of the society
permit.
The magazine incarnates also his.
tory of the change in the usage Of
English. 1t Is most valuable account
Of the moral tone of the past. One
Of the chaplains of the United States
navy says In an article which the
old issues hold. that he wishes "they
would fog the men forward, instead
OF aft" for the reason that it disturbed
his evening meditations.
Probably the first account of the
free churches in Sweden was pub.
lished in the magazine. These
churches are now grown to be rivals
of the State church there.
1t was started, this brave little
herald of the sailors life, with $50
subscribers, all in New York city. AT
the end of the first year, 1929, 1t had
gathered, in Boston, Philadelphia and
Charleston, s. c., 1000. Its Oldest sub
scriber today Is Asher Sheldon Of
New Haven, Conn, who has just cele
brated his one hundredth birthday. He
has been on the lists of the Seamen's
society for 40 years.

As to Amaxons.

Not a few fancy horseback riding
for women Is comparatively new. To
be sure our great-grandmothers rode
on billions, but they were of a day
when it was the fashion to be delicate.
Later the sex took up riding, sidewise
of course, but now many ride across
just as did the Amazons Of old.
Though having the Amazon river for
namesake, these doughty danes are
supposed to have come from the coun-
try about the Caucasus, their chief
seats being along a river which emp
ties into the Black sea- They invaded
at various times Thrace, Asia Minor,
Islands. of the Aegean, Greece, Syria.
Arabia, Egypt and ibya.
The ninth labor of Hercules was to
AXE from them the girdle Of the queen
of the Amazons. 1t was a very I'M
pleasant affair, as you no doubt re-
member. Instead Of showing fight,
Hippolyta was sensible to his manly
charms and gave him her girdle with
out a struggle and even went boating
with him.
Juno took alarm, warned the Anna
IONS that their queen was being car
ried off, and they descended upon the
ship. Thinking Hippolyta had been
treacherous, Hercules slew her and
sailed away with the girdle.
So much for the Amazons.

PLATINUM IN GOLD PLACERS
Process Invented for Saving Fine Pow
derry Grains of This Metal In
Oregon and Elsewhere.

The constantly increasing demand
for platinum, especially for the manu-
facture of gas mantles, has led to the
Invention of process of saving the
fine powdery grains of this metal
found in the gold placer deposits of
southern Oregon and elsewhere.
This platinum, being in a state Of
very fine division. almost In the form
of dust, will not settle in a placer
sluice 30 long as the water is briskly
stirred, says Popular Electricity. Aft
er the metal-bearing water has passed
over rifle table, on which nearly all
the gold settles, 1t is drawn more slow
ly over cocoa mat rifle, on which the
platinum settles, and is then collected
by rinsing the mats over tanks. For
merly the platinum was all wasted, at
first because Its identity was not rec
ognized, and afterward because no
process was then known for saving 1t.

The cases of Disagreement and

to close the eyes when driving and to

Metal Railroad Ties.

The scarcity of wood for general
purposes and the increasing cost of
wooden railway ties in Europe has en-
couraged the manufacture and general
use of metal ties In recent years in the
railways on the continent. About
seventy per cent of the ties In use on
the federal railways of Switzerland are
metal.
