Ed Cook has a hen "settin"

know what to do about it. We

corn. That done, grasp the
string firmly with both hands
and draw her gently forth.

Sailor Now German Prisoner.

Men serving on the destroyer jacob
Jones of the American fleet in foreign
waters had a terrific fight with the sea
after their ship had been sunk by a
German submarine The attack came
suddenly, late in the afternoon, Al
though every effort was made to re-
turn the fight and save the ship, she
finally settled and went down. Many
Of the men got into the boats and on
the RATS and a great number were
seen swimming in the sea. Two OF
these We're picked up by the Germans.
One of these men, John Francis Muir
ply, is now held as prisoner by the
Germans. After having gone through
the ordeal of being torpedoed Murphy
made a heroic struggle to save mem
5ers of the ships crew. No further
news has been heard from him beyond
the fact that he is held prisoner in
Germany. Murphy was a ships cook.

"Hush Hush" Cruiser.

The Idea that Great Britain IL Sc
cretly constructing tremendous cruiS-
ers carrying batteries Of 15-inch guns
and travelling faster than any ma
val ships now float, has become
almost an obsession with the Ger
man press, whose naval experts
recognize that these ships present
problem that cannot be met with
submarines. The new British cruisers
are termed "hush hush cruisers be-
cause of the supposed secrecy with
which they are being constructed. Cap
tain Won Kuhlwatter, a famous Ger
man naval authority, believes them to
be $50 feet In length and probably
more effective naval units than any
yet constructed. No doubt the prime
cause of interest in their building is
the realization that complete fleet of
fast cruisers could annihiate whole
squadron of slow and ponderOus Ger
man dreadnaughts if the German fleet
ever again aspires to the open sea
In the Jutland and other fights such
unit of fast and heavily armed ships
might have cut off their retreat. That
England is constructing number OF
large battle cruisers of q new type Is
not denied by the admiralty.

The Egyptian year was divided Into
three seasons. These were Shalt, the
season of waters, being the time occu-
pied by the rising spread and recess
sion of the Nile; Pirut, the season OF
vegetation; the Shonmu, the season OF
harvest. These seasons are supposed
to have been arranged by tho god Thot.
Each season was divided into four
months and they were known In official
documents by numbers only. Thus we
have the first, second, third and fourth
months of Shalt, the months Of each Of
the other seasons being designated In
the same manner. Each month, how
ever, had Il patron god and the people
ordinarily gave to it, in their daily In"
tercourse, the name Of It's god These
deity names of the months were tran
scribed into Greek. then into Arabic
and are now largely used by the Chris
tian inhabitants of Egypt in prefer
ence to the Mussulman appellations.

jatya LAKE Is BIZ AFFAIR
Reservoir, Built by Americans, Far
Outdoes Anything Else That the
World Has Known.

A Pharaoh Of the twelfth dynasty
constructed a reservoir (kuown today
as Lake Moeris) which covered SO
square miles. It was an artificial lake,
regarded in It's day as one of the
wonders Of the world, and was de-
signed to regulate the flow of the Nile.
In its way it was the most remark
able engineering achievement of an
tiquity. But Gatun lake on the line
of the Panama canal, beats it, being
about three times as big, Its object
is slmilar-namely, to take care OF
the food waters of the Chagres river
and prevent them from doing mis-
chief.
Gatun lake is the largest artificial
body of water ever known In the
world. 1t is, in fact, the most impor-
tant feature Of the transisthmian
canal, extending two-thirds Of the dis
lance from the Caribbean sea to the
Pacific ocean.
It occupies basin that was dry
land before the canal was built; and
because the area covered by it is very
billy and geographically irregular,
1t stretches in a multiple Of arms far
up into its marshy shores.
One reason why its shores are
marshy is that in its shadows there
develops with astonishing luxuriance
a kind Of grass which sends out run
ners in all directions. On this account
Its banks are not easily accessible
even to small craft.
As for fishes, it is hoped that they
will multiply and furnish worth
