First Great Warship.

The first real advance In securing
stability and great carrying power in
a ship was made by British architect,
Phineas PETIT, who built the Sovereign
Of the Seas, to carry 100 guns, in 1887.
After launching he found that her
enormous upper works, in which no
had followed the fashion and In
cidentally, the shipping defect OF his
period, made her somewhat unstable.
SO he took her back, boldly swept
away all the eumbrous upper fittings,
increased her length, gave her two
decks instead of the original three, and
rehoated her as the Royal Sovereign,
Under this latter title she re-
NAMED for 60 years the finest,
staunchest, and most easily handles
vessel In the British navy, far in
advance of any other ship Of her kind
In the world.

Tinted WRITING Paper.

0culists have often called attention
TO the fact that the eyes are easily
fatlgucd by the reflection from white
paper, especially when the surface is
under strong light. Since green is
known to he the color most restful to
The eyes, 1t is common practice 10
use wall papers and draperies of that
color in libraries and private studies
For writing paper, however green is
an unsatisfactory color. 1t inparts a
reddish appearance TO the writing and
makes 1t hard TO read. Yellow writ
ing paper is not open TO the same oh
lection. In strong daylight 1t is softer
than pure white paper, and in artlf-
cial light it is not too dark. Black
letters on yellowish background
show clear and distinct Many mathe-
maticians use yellow paper i'll figuring
long and difficult calculations, and
many writers have adopted it for man
uscripts. 1t has the additional merit
of cheapness.

STREAM A FREAK OF NATURE
But Phenomenon in State Of Washing
ton Seems Simple---After It Is
Explained.

A small stream called Bear creek
flowing from, the glaciers of Mount
Adams, near Husum, Wash. is freak.
1t plays hide and seek along IFS course
through the forest, slipping into cave
here, creyice there and reappearlng
below full fedged rlvulet. It's bed IS
Ice coated nearly the entire year; on
the surface rocks float and in the
water logs sink
The water is bright yellow In one
place, rcd In another and light bluing
when It flows into the Columbia river.
Bear creek, differing from other
streams, freezes at the bottom first in
stead Of the surface. This Is caused By
rocky formation, similar to CORFU
gated washboard, retarding the move
ment of the water, forcing the surface
TO move swlfter In this way air bub-
bles are shot downward, carrying
freezing temperatures, and ice forms.
Often IN winter the stream flows while
the bed IS solid Ice.
This stream also contains more
water in one part of its system than
in another. A 4-foot depth quickly
becomes q tiny brooklet by the water
disappearing into the porous Volcanic
bedrock Later It reappears and re-
sumes IT'S course.
The logs that readily sink are a
species az black jack pine with a
specific gravity heavier than water.
They are carried into the creek by
! landsideS
Rocks seen floating are sort OF
pumice or lava clinkers released by
melting glaciers.
The yellow color Is directed from the
glaciers, the red caused by red clay
bluffs, and the blne by a deposit Of
copper quartz through which the
! stream has cut its bed.

Mytholooical Birds.

The Australian thick-headed shrllie
Is about six inches long, rlch-yellow
below, with a jet-black collar and u
white throat, black head and partly
black tail. 1t is sometimes called the
black-breasted 1yeatcher and white
throated thick-head, and Ii has also a
variety Of French and New Latin
names.
In the mythology Of some low tribes
such as the Cards, Brazilians, Har-
vey Islanders, Karens, Beclunas and
Basutos there are legends OF a Hap
ping or flashing thunder bird which
seem to translate into myth the
thought OF thunder and lightning de-
scending from the upper regions Of
the air, the home Of the eagle and the
vulture.

near Lincoln. They were walking when
apprehended, the Ford car in which
they made their getaway having been
abandoned in Monkton mud. 1t was
