SHIP BUILDING BY ANcIENTs
Trade Was Old in the Days of Jacob
-PalatiaI Yachts for Hero, Cleo
patra and Leo.

Some curious records of early ship
building are found in ancient history.
We read in Genesis that ships were
old on the Mediterranean even in the
days of Jacob.
Eighteen hundred and thirty years
before Christ, Ammon built long and
tall ships with sails on the Red sea.
Ninety years later the ship Argo was
built-"the first Greek vessel which
ventured to pass through the sea with
ou: sight of land-being guided only
by the stars"
The wonderful vessel built for Hero,
king of Syracuse, excited curiosity and
wonder. The craft was constructed
under the direction of the celebrated
mathematician, Archimedes, by ship
builder at Corinth, from wood cut on
Mt Etna.
Her decks were paved with small
and odd tiles, on which were depicted
with wonderful art scenes from Ho-
mer's uiad. On the upper deck was a
gymnasium, containing gardens plant
ed With many kinds of shrubs, with
walks between them overshadowed by
vines and ivy, the roots of which were
nourished in moistened earth.
Near this apartment was a dining
room dedicated to Venus, paved with
agates and other precious stones. The
walls and ceiling were Of cyprus and
the doors of ivory.
Near this was library, the walls
being Of lockwood and the ceiling rep
resenting the sky by night, with the
consultations embossed upon it.
We read also of the gardens of the
barge of Cleopatra, of the domones of
the Romans, long ships first used in
sailings matches, in which Leo, the
emperor, used to sail from Constanti-
nople to the Asiatic coasts-and which
the sultan continued to use to a late
day-of the feluccas and the gondolas
of the Venetians, and a variety of
pleasure craft common to eastern coun4
tries in early times.
Turning over the leaves of early An
glo-Saxon history, we find that about
1000 A. D. Harold sent to Athelstan a
magnificent ship, with "a golden beak
and purple sails," surrounded by
shields Internally gilt.
In this ship the wild northern mon-
arch doubtless cruised the seas in com,
fort, though the Morse vessels of the
period were but great unlocked boats.

every way an admirable document ano
must warmly commend itself to every
true American. 1t justly arraigns the
Democratic party for its tariff fiuke, its
Mexican blunders, it's Post Office bung-
ling; and above all, for its cowardly, un
patriotic surrender of national rights.
Its rousing declaration of the funda-
mestal principles of Americanism, the
Americanism of the great Fathers of
the Republic, will strongly appeal to al
citizens regardless of party lines. Con

inscribed upon this superb document
