The following years brought dozen
more mysteries OF the deep. 1t was
not until 1870 that the world was

one human beings vanished with the
ship.
Still disappearances are not the only
form of disaster to ships. But in most
instances the rule-"women and chill
dren first"-is observed On Febru-
airy 26, 1852, in Algoa bay. Cape Col
ony, South Africa, the troopship Birk-
enhead, carrying British soldiers and
their families, struck reef and went
down. Six hundred men died bravely,
but all the women and children were
saved. From this originated the
"Birkenhead drill" through which the
weaker are sent to safety first
The largest loss of life recorded in
any modern sea disaster was one on
December 81, 1911, when the British
ships st. George, Defense and Hero
were stranded during hurricane near
Jutland and 1000 lost their lives Next
In number was the Titanic, with 1895;
the Sultana. with LOO; General Slo-
cum and the Japanese steamship
Kickemaru, with 1000 each; Princess
Alice sunk in collision in the River
Thames, 700; Norge. stranded, with
700; another steamship of the same
name foundered in midocean with
about as many.
The Sultana horror was one of the
greatest in inland shipping history. II
was obscured by the assassination OF
President Lincoln, and the public,
aside from those Immediately inter
ested, paid little attention to the
catastrophe, in which LOO lost their
lives.
In all times. in all climes. the vast
depths of the sea claim their moiety

him out
We all recall the horrors of the Ii
tanic disaster. Even the burning Of
the General Slocum in the East river,
New York. with its 1000 victims, most
of them women and children, is still
fresh In our memories. But there are
other tragedies of the sea of the dim
mer past, about which time has
woven the glamour of romance. What
school child does not remember the
pathetic story Of Theodosia Burr, who
sailed from her home in the South
land to join Aaron Burr, then in New
York? What became of her-what
her fate. To this day the deepest
mystery surrounds her last hours.
Was she captured by pirates, as gos-
sip OF her day had It? Did the ves-
sci bearing her go down? No one
knows.
But there are other mysterious dis
appearances chronicled in the annals
of marine disasters. On March IL,
1871. the steamship President, the
Lusitania of her day, steamed from
New York for Liverpool with 1876 pas
sengers aboard The days passed. and
no word was received from or of her.
There we're no cables and wireless in
those days, and anxiety grew by leaps
and bounds. All kinds of rumors were
rife-she had been seen-she was safe
but to this day the only clue to her
fate was a note contained in a bottle.
The note, written by Tyrone Power,
an actor (not the comedian of the
present era), said that the ship was
sinking.
Thirteen years later, on March 1,
the City of Glasgow left the Mersey.
bound for Philadelphia with Ill sa-
loon passengers. 1893 steerage passen-
gers and a crew of rs, total of 4SO.
The days grew into weeks and April
arrived, but the steamship was not
reported. On May 10 the owners re-
ceived a message at Liverpool from
London that a ship of her description
had been sighted by an arriving ves-
sci some time previously, making for
the Azores and apparently crippled.
Hope arrived again. until exhaustive
inquiry disclosed that this was anoth-
er hoax. and that all concerned In her
safety had been subjected to cruel
and needless suspense.
Only two years later. on January %,
1856, the Collins liner Pacific left Liv.

on board, She was one of the crack

Very Little Is Allowed to Remain Use.
less In This Day Of Scientific
knowledge.

Save the useless waste! That Is
the new policy of progressive metal
and coal mining managers in the
United States; and II is based on the
theory that what is useless today may
become worth much money tomorrow.
Coal screenings, for instance, must be
carefully saved In piles, which Will be
handy for future use when inventors
perfect a practical way of getting vaI
liable heat out of them.
A Pennsylvania coal mining COM
pany Is applying the idea to the ex-
treme. From its anthracite coal mines
vast quantities Of coal have been
shipped to market, but millions OF tons
of screenings have accumulated for
many years. These culm piles were
considered to be worthless, and coal
ashes and other refuse were dumped
on them. At the present time, how
ever. the very small sizes OF anthra-
cite. down to a sixteenth of an inch
in diameter. can all be sold profitably;
so the company is digging out the
culm piles and sitting the old waste
for salable coal.
The managers know II will not be
long before even the fiue dust may do
good work under boilers and sell at a
fair figure; therefore the new culm
piles resulting from the present sitting
operations have been carefully
planned to be handy and in good shape
for selling whenever the inventors sue
coed in making 1t profitable.
Dust from the chimDeys of a cop
per smelter is not now OF much value,
as general rule, because there is no
economical way of recovering the cop
per, zinc, silver and gold in the dust;
but great quantities of this fine dust
are collected in modern smelters, In
an attempt to prevent the smelter
fumes from bothering neighboring
farmers. The dust is useless and
gathers so fast that much money is
expended In disposing OF It,
A California smelter company has
discovered just how much copper, gold
and other metals are oarried away In
fiue dust. There is enough to make
every ton valuable II somebody could

USEFUL TOOLS FOR
WORK IN ORCHARDS
Blade Of Moving Machine, Fitted
to Wooden Handle, Win Be
Found Satisfactory.

A useful tool for cutting canes OF
bush fruits is made from the blade OF
a moving machine fitted to a wooden
handle. II looks like tomahawk with
a sharp blade on each side. The blade
stands at an angle which gives it the
right slope TO cut wen without tearing
the plants. II should be made OF the
very best steel and the lower edge OF
the blade should be kept very sharp
across the full face.
Another useful tool Is made from an
old file or wood rasp. with a shoulder
or lug turned up to 1T ON a scyths
snath. The same tool works better
however. with straight handle. But
It must be kept very sharp to do ef
tective work.

SOME ESSENTIALS
OF FARM ANIMALS
Farmer Makes Mistake in Breed
ing Horses Not Adapted to
His Requirements.

Poor and worthless old plugs tug.
ging in the harness keep company
holding the lines.
Even an old plug horse may be kept
neat and clean and be afforded a suffi-
cient amount of wholesome food so
that 1t may be capable of doing sLmo
useful work.
The grade sire is a proposition we
should steer clear OF.
Prepotency is a fixed characte ristic

The average farmer makes a mis-
take when he breeds trotting horses
or other breeds not adapted to his
business.
No one point is more essential than
sound, well-shaped hoofs. The value
Of horse depends to a large extent
upon his feet
The fact that horLe has been n
ported does not add one cent to its
intrinsic value for breeding purposes.
However many horse breeders believe
that about the only requisite is that
a stallion should come from some for
eign country The facts are that
America should be and is breeding her
own draft horses instead OF importing
them.
We are fast getting over the notion
that we are dependent upon breeders

The young colt needs the best of
care on the farm, for its life depends
upon the care 1t gets during the first
few weeks OF It's life. Navel-ill in
colts requires close attention, for the
disease Is caused by a microorgan-
lam. Several bacteria have been sus-

malady. Every one OF the suspected
organisms Is found abundantly In
