SINKING SHIPS.
lf Completely Submerged They Must
Go to the Bottom.

If Completely Submerged They Must
Go to the Bottom.
Answering a correspondent who
writes: 81 am very anxious to find out
whether a ship will sink Ii the bottom
Of the ocean is at great depth OF. at
least, at such depth that the weight of
the water would be greater than the
weight of the ship. 1t is the opinion
of many that at certain depth the
ship would remain suspended instead
of sinking to the bottom Please ex-
plain the exact truth of the matter
Edgar Lucien Larkin In the New York
American says:
ANY mass that will entirely sink
below the surface of the ocean will
sink to the bottom Of any sea or ocean
on earth This is because water is al
most incompressible.
Enormous pressure in hydraulic
presses has been made upon distilled
and also upon sea water, and the di
minution of volume-that Is, increase
of densiy-is only O.OO0O44 for ocean
water for each atmosphere, L e., each
addition of fifteen pounds to each
square inch. Then water soaked wood
would be increased in density by very
nearly the same amount
Hence If all of the wood In a wood
en- ship sinks below the surface 1t must
go to the bottom. The question of
reaching the bottom of the ocean is de
cided for any kind of matter of any
ship or boat by It's behavior at the sur
face. If all of the material Of the boat
sinks at all below the surface. then II
will fall to the bottom of any sea, there
being such slight increase In density
of water at the bottom of the deepest
ocean,"

If you are of the opinion that Lin
coin Beachey's loop and upside down

altitude, and that the loop comes in
some rapid whirl like the old bicycle
loop in the circus, you are badly mis-
taken. Most persons believe that they
will need field glasses to get a good
glimpse of Beachey when he loops in
the sky.
But Beachey's looping is done at so
alarmingly low an altitude that the
expression of his face is plainly dis
cernable. Nine-tenths OF the crowd
seem panic-stricken when the first
loop is made. They cannot realize that
disaster has not overtaken the In

OYSTERS LIVE AND DEAD.
And the Big Difference 1t Makes When
They Are Eaten Raw.

Speaking about keeping hotels, Sine
on Ford, who won fame and fortune
in that profession. had this to say
about the succulent oyste":
People have come ard sworn to
me that we had the finest oysters in
the world. Now, that was all tommy
rot. We had the same oysters any one
else could buy, although we always
bought the best we could. But there is
this about the oyster: When he is good
he is very, very good: when he is bad
he is very, very bad.
There Is a whole lot of difference
between a dead oyster and a live one.
When an experienced opener puts his
knife into an oyster he can tell in
second if the oyster is really alive.
He can even tell by the resistance
whether the oyster is in prime condi-
ton or only fair. If the oyster was
not just right our men would throw 1t
away, and they used to throw away
about one oyster in every four that we
bought.
"a dead oyster isn't fit to eat raw.
But the live oyster that is opened
right in front of you and stays on the
plate just long enough to squeeze a
drop of lemon on, he goes down your
throat juicy and a palpitating treat.
That's only possible when you stand
up to an oyster bar.
"Why, in some of our gilded palaces
they begin to open oysters after break
fast and you get them for dinner. Well,
you get them, that's all, and they're
dead! A corpse is a corpse, even if it
is kept on ice."-Henry M. Hall in New
York World.

HEIGHT of Waves.

Among the most trust worthy scien
tific measurements OF ocean waves art
those of Lieutenant Paris OF the
French navy. The highest waves
measured by him were in the Indian
ocean between the Cape of Good Hope
and the island Of St Paul. Thirty
waves measured during a northwest
gale there averaged twenty nine and
one half feet in height. and six OF
them, following one another with
beautiful regularity, were thirty seven
and one-half feet in height Some still
higher waves were seen. but not meas

of wave was found to be about
twenty five times its height, but In a
gale only eighteen times. London

very little about the business and
asked him to tell me something Of
it. The boy had not shown part
ocular brilliancy in his school work.
But with remarkable clearness he
proceeded to tell me about the
butchers problems. "First you
have to know the anatomy of the
beef know where the bones are,
the kinds of meat, and what the
values ARE, etc. Second, you have
got to be able to cut the meat to
make the employer a profit. Third,
you have got to put up the pack
age to please the customer (aes-
thetic value.) Fourth you have to
learn a lot of things ali over in
learning to cut the hog, the sheep,
because the anatomy is different.
The school can afford to encour-
age boys in the pursuit of intere-
ests of this character.
Industry must furnish it's own
skills. The school could not intro
duce industry if it were clearly it's
function to do SO. Industry and
education may be brought into
closer agreement by such methods
suggested in this article. The in
teresting paradox we discover is
that there are some educators who
are willing to have the school en-
phasize industry, letting culture
take care of itself, and many far
seeing business men are beginning
to take a keen interest in the Gull
tural life of their employees.

THE OLD YORK ROAD.
Built In 1711, It Was the First Great
American Highway.

Built In 1711, 1t Was the First Great
American Highway.
Something over 200 years ago there
was built the first great American
highway. the old York road" be-
tween New York and Philadelphia.
The construction Of this famous road
in I'LL was an example that led the
energetic colonistS at other points
along the Atlantic seaboard to make
similar roads where there were no wa
ter routes. For the most part these
roads were built by chartered cOmpa-
MES and were called turnpikes or toll
roads Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
New Jersey had many roads of this
kind
The first macadamized road in this
country was constructed in 1892 be-
tween Philadelphia and Lancaster. In
1911 there were said to be 4,5OO miles
OF chartered turnpikes in New Eng
land and New York During the next
twenty years the government expend-
ed many millions OF dollars In con
structing great highways, but the pan
ic of 1887 and the building OF rail-.
ways and canals put an end to that
branch OF the government work.

Neither the wind nor the rain has

executes his tricks of the sky in just
blowing sixty miles an hour, or when
the rain is pelting his face, as he does
in calm. In fact, Beachey dislikes

RAISE HEMP TO RID FARMS
OF N0xi0US WEEDS

That Canada thistles and quack
grass can be eradicated by grow
ing hemp is the opinion of A. r.
stone of the oo'iege of agri ultur ),
University of Wisconsin.
Experiments have been tried on
the prison farm at Waupun and
on other farms in that vicinity
and the conclusion drawn from
these tests is that Canada thistles
can be completely destroyed by
one crop of hemp and that field
badly infested with quack grass
must be cropped with hemp for
two successive years to thorough
ly destroy the weeds.
Since hemp will grow only on
very fertile soil, heavy coats of
fertilizer are necessary to insure
a good stand. 1t is also important
that the land be plowed the pre-
ceding fall and kept free from
weeds until it freezes up, in or
der to give the hemp a better
chance in the spring.
Net profits as high as $50 an
acre have been obtained from
hemp grown in this state, but the
average profit is about so an acre
Effort is being made to develop
a permanent market for hemp
grown in this state which for a
large part, is of superior quality.

MORE MACHINERY RUSTS OUT
THAN WEARS OUT

Where is the old fashioned farm
er, who never hung up the scythe
without first daubing the blade
with tallow to keep it from rust
ing? Apparently his kind is not
as common as it once was, for it
is claimed upon good authority
that even upon Wisconsin farms
more machinery rusts out every
year than wears out.
This is the startling charge made
by a man who is familiar with
methods of handling and caring
for machinery followed upon many
farms of the state. "Far too
many expensive machines on many
farms," he declares, shave their
bearings loosened and their frame
work warped and twisted out of
shape too early in the period of
usefulness because of needless ex-
posure."
"Farm machinery is no different
than any other kind of machinery
with good care it will last two
or three times as long as when it
is neglected. On every farm there
should be a good tight machine
shed-one with plenty of sliding
doors, SO that it will be easy to
drive in and out with machines"
