VESSEL is STRUCK IN ENGLISH
CHANNEL BY EITHER A
MINE OR A SUB
MARINE BOAT.
SEVENTY-ONE SURVIVORS
PICKED UP BY CRUISER
Battleship Was Acting As a Flagship
at the Time of Her Destruction
Vessel Was Sister Ship to
The Irresistible and
the lmplacible.

London, Jan. 4.-Great Britain has
ships. The Formidable, sister ship of
the Bulwark, which was destroyed on
Thanksgiving day, was blown up in
the English channel.
1t is feared that about 700 members
of the crew of $50 have been lost. The
admiralty says that II survivors are
known to have been picked up by a
British light cruiser. Hope is held
out that at least a few others may
have been saved, but it is OF the slight
est.
Although the official announcement
said it is not known yet whether the
accident was due to a submarine or a
mine. it is generally believed that the
submarines have again scored.
Activity of Germans.
The German undersea craft have
been very active in the channel. and
along the Belgian coast for the last
month, and it has required the ut
most precaution on the part of the
British naval commanders to keep
their ships N Of danger.
While the loss of the battleship it.
self is minimized in official circles. in
asmuch as it was not considered of the
first line strength, the loss of the
trained officers and men who manned
it is mos. serious.
Just what other warships were in
company with the Formidable when it
was destroyed is not permitted to be-
come known. That they made for
safety Immediately, abandoning the
Formidable to its fate, in accordance
with the admiralty rules, is certain,
and to this is due the heavy casualty
list. The water of the channel is so
cold at present that the sailors had
practically 40 chance for life.
Pick Up n Survivors.
The text of the official announcement
follows:
The battleship Formidable was
sunk in the channel, but whether by a
mine or a submarine is not yet certain.
"Seventy-one survivors have been
picked up by a British light cruiser
and it is possible hat others may
have been rescued by other vessels"
The Formidable cost a little more
than $4,000, 900 to construct. 1t has
been used for coast guard duty and
to assist in the fighting along the Bel
gian coast since the German raid on
the British coast.
The Formidable had assigned to 1t,
according to the British navy list for
December. various fleet officers. and
undoubtedly was acting as a flagship
Mt the time of its destruction. It's
captain was Arthur n. Loxley and it's
commander Charles F. Ballard.
Captain John C. Deed was in COM
mand of the marines on board. while
the fleet surgeon was Godfrey Tay-
Tor and the fleet paymaster p. j. Ling.
The chaplain is given as the Rev.
George b. Robinson. On board the
Formidable also were 16 midshipmen.

A LEFT HANDED ARTIST.
Leonardo da vinci Even Wrote From
Right to Left.

Right to Left.
A right handed man In making a
drawing puts his shading from right
to left diagonaIly downward A left
handed man puts his shading from
left to right. This is especially mo-
ticeable In the drawings of Leonardo
da vinci. who was left handed. In
the same way right handed man,
being asked to draw a spiral naturally
makes what is called left handed"
spiral-that is. one that curves clock
wise, while the left handed man draws
the fright handed" spiral or that
which curves counter clock-wise.
In his book, 1.-THE Curves Of Life"
Theodore Andrea Cook says that a
Sherlock Holmes could tell from the
curves of carpenters shavings
whether he was right or left handed,
as right handed carpenter invariably
drives his plane little to the left.
producing right handed screws. while
the left handed carpenter pushes his
plane a little to the right and produces
left handed screws.
Screws and corkscrews are right
hand screws unless made for some
special purpose Left hand screws
can be bought from any large hard
ware dealer Coffin screws for some
unexplained reason are always left
hand screws. Man is naturally right
handed. and 1t has been suggested
that this may be owing to the position
of his heart on the left side. So all
tools and weapons have been adapted
to right handed men. This Is true of
the adze. plane. scythe, gimlet. auger.
scissors. shutters, shears, etc.
The strongly left handed man will
continue to use such tools with his
left hand, even though with incon-
venience. but he in whom the left
handedness is not a strong bias be-
comes ambidextrous through the use
of the right handed contrivances and
appliances of everyday life.
Mr. Cook mentions many customs
that have arisen through the normal
right handedness of man. Among
these is the rule of driving to the left.
which still obtains in England, Portu-
gal. Sweden and parts of Austria. It.
ally and Switzerland. This is a sur
vival Of riding days, when men held
the reins In their left hands in order
to leave their right free to use their
swords.
The most notable example Of a left
handed artist is Leonardo da vinci He
also wrote with his left hand and
wrote from right to left. So that any
one who wants to read his manuscripts
or the annotations on his drawings
must use a mirror. This, according to
Mr.. Cook. Is the natural method Of the
left handed man.

Heroic Conclusion.

The Swede knew that he was incom-
petent, but he needed the job very bad
ly indeed. The farmer saw at a glance
that he was a green hand. but he was
urgently In need Of help. So an ar
rangement was made. After dinner
the farmer sent his new hand down to
pillow a field and few moments later
followed him. Peering from the con
cealment of a clump of DISHES, he OBJ
served for some time the frantic but
futile efforts OF his hand to run a
straight furrow. Finally the Swede
came to a discouraged halt. mopped
his brow and addressed the horses
