sTRANGEsT OF SHIP FREAKS
British Inventor Must At Least De
Credited With the Possession Of
Much Imagination.

Since that memorable day long ago
when our rude forefathers first ven
tured afioat in their dugout canoes
many very curious ships have been
built. Perhaps the most extraordinary
Of all these freaks was the steamer
Connector. which was launched in
British waters in 1863.
The Connect0r was built In three
sections, each of which was, so to
speak, ship Of itself. The bow or
forward section, which was fitted up In
the usual way. was jointed to the mid
ship section by means of huge holt
in such a manner that, as the ship
pitched, 1t could rise or fall quite in
dependently Of the other two sections.
Thus, as the ship met the waves a
kind of wriggle ran along the hull.
First the bow section rose, then the
midship section followed suit, and
finally the stern section wriggled up
ward.
The craft passed safely through
some very severe trials. and even ven-
tured out In heavy weather. The idea
was to build up ships in sections like
trains, SO that any particular section
could be dropped at the various ports
of call.

February was one of the two months
(January being the other) introduced

year into IL of these periods. It's
name arose from the practice Of re-
ligious expiration and publication
which took place among the Romans
at the beginning of this month, and
comes from februare. to expiate or to
purify. Among our Saxon ancestors
the month got the name Of Sproutkale
on account of the sprouting Of cabbage
at this ungenial season. The name
Of Sol-monatt was afterward conferred
on 1t in consequence Of the return of
the sun from the low course in the
heavens. which 1t had been running,
starting on the first day Of the month.
The following day. or February 2.

Hardin, a roll of maps under his

did not like to have women In camp.

Richard, still sleepy. asked him to
sit down.
II wanted to speak to you about

Richard resigned himself to a long
argument. 1t was three o'clock when
Hardin let him turn in.
When he was getting ready for bed
he remembered the melodramatic
scene Hardin had entered. upon. He
stared comprehendingly at the screen

din's coarse sneer--the Maldonado,
breathing fast, her hand over her

The river was low; its yellow wa.

Each day was now showing its prog.

bypass ready; the trap set for the
