London Reports IndiCdteSteam-
 CT COIIided With Mine.

An accident. believed to be an eXplO~ sion. on the Holland American liner Ryndam killed three of the engine room force and injured several others The steamer. which sailed from New York Jan. , for Rotterdam. via Fal mouth, put in at GrHvPSend with a heavy list. All passengers are safe. ac cOrding to wireless reports.
 X the New York offices @f the steam ship company it was cOnipcturpd that there had been some sort of rXploSiOR in the engine room The possibility 0F q bomb having been placed in thp Ryn- dams coal supply was also suggested.
 The accident is believed to have hap pened while the Ryndam was emerg- ing from the strait of Dover or off the mouth of the Thames, since siie head ed into Gravesend. Both these are heavily mined. and it is possible the Ryndam struck a mine. It is possible too. that the liner may have been tor pedOed
 Advices, from sources of unqueStiOnPd relia bility were received in New York to the effect that German submarines are again operating in British waters and that the British liner Hurpnian was tOrpedoed and badly damaged off the Irish coast.

Wtsen began the custom fer indivi6;- uals and audiences; to be standing wher. the Star SpanGEad Banner' was sung or played?
 II iS ;a fair question. It was adopted by the aIsny and navy long ago. but the army and navy did not originate the very appropriate and patr5otic GUS tom.
 Many years ago when JenDy Lind. one of the sweetest singers the world ever produced. was tue chief attrac tiCn at a Boston cOIE- est Daniel Web ster. the great senator, secretary of state and patriot, was present.
 Jenny Lind sang tLe Star Spangled Banner as only that song bird could sing it. The audience called her back several times. and she sang d verse of our, present national anthem. Each time one man stood Up and at the close gracefully bowed to the singer. That was Daniel Webster It was q good example to set. needed custom to establish. and one that hls been an important factor in impressing patEi- Otie leSSOns.-Milwdukee Sentinel.

The Beavers Tooth.

No carpenters chisel can do4 more effective work than is turned out with ease and ncatness by the beavers tooth. This is the principal tool with which these patient, clever builders construct their dams. The outer sur face of the tooth is a scale of very hard enamel. while the body of 1t is Of softer dentine. AS the softer sub stance wears away in use. the. end of the tooth takes a chisel-like bevel, leaving a thin. slightly projecting edge of hard enamel as sharp, as any car penter's tool fresh from the oilstone. The thin scale of enameE gives keen ness, the softer dentine supplies strength, and thus the combination forms a formidable tool, which ac- tually sharpens itself by use.
