BATHS ON ANCIENT VESSEL
Wonders of Old Greek Ship As They
Were Described in Lecture by
Harvard Professor.

An ancient Syracusan ship--a Greek
Mauretania-that carried vast cargoes
and had a gymnasium bath, lounge
and gardens aboard, was described
by Prof. W. S. Ferguson of Harvard In
a lecture on Greek economic develop
ment.
Professor Ferguson said II was OF
the three-deck type, with 20 banks Of
oars. that required one whole year In
building, and which was manned by
a crew of 300 sailors. together with
600 marines.
In its hold 1t would carry 10000
bushels Of wheat, wool. thousands of
jars of salt fish and other fOodstutfs.
Its cabins we're decorated with elab-
crate mosaics, one set of them pictur-
ing all of the Had.
It's chambers included a gymnasium.
a lounge with a book shelf" a bath
provided with so gallons of water,
stalls for horses, gardens" or con
servatories. and. In addition to all
these Injuries and necessities, It had
equipment and engines Of defense
which gave It the character almost Of
q ship Of war.

WELL IN THE VAN.

lhe maharaja Of Bhaynagar is
evidently determined that his coun-
try. long known as "the model state
of kathiawar,' shall maintain itself
well in the van Of progress. He is
taking measures for the total ADOLF
ton Of the liquor traffic within his
eorders. A few weeks ago, it APP
pears, he ordered the preparation Of
a scheme, to take effect Immediately,
providing for the state to become
wholly dry within a given period.
The maharaja, moreover, has gone
further still. He has approached
the other states Of Kathiawar with
a view to obtaining their co-opera-
ton, "since their close proximity
constitutes a serious though not in
Superable obstacle to effective sep
arate action" Bhaynagar is sure
enough of its place.-Christian
Science Monitor.

pRoNouNclNo PROHIBITION.


One thing the nineteenth national
convention Of the Anti-Saloon
League Of America did not settle
was the pronunciation Of the word.
prohibition"
There were almost as many pro-
nunciations of the word heard as
there were speakers on the program,
and there were many speakers. Four
main variations, however, held the
boards, They proved the favorites,
the others trailing along as subvari-
ations and sub-subvariations.
In the first place, of course, 'pro-
hi-bi-tion" was heard. Many dele
gates, even from foreign countries,
pronounced the word properly, ac-
cOrding to the best authorities.
"Pro-high-bition" came next.
Those who favored this style placed
the second syllable very high indeed,
sounding it with smack and JUNCTION.
"Pro-hee-bition" was a third lead
ing variation. Probably not SO many
prohibitionists favored this, but il
held its own.
Last, but not least, "pro-huh-bi.
tion."-Washington Star.
