WENT AFTER THE MERRIMAc
Commodore Vanderbilt Eager to En-
gage the Dreaded Confederate !.
Weapon Of Warfare. !

When the Confederate ram, Merr1-
mac, burst out Of its hiding place and
made such fearful havoc among the
federal frigates in Hampton roads
during the Civil war, great consterna-
ton was caused in the nations cap
ital. Ericsson's little Monitor, arriv-
ing at Fortress Monroe In the nick OF
time, had driven the monster into his
cave, but 1t was feared he would
emerge again presently and continue
the devastation. Through Thurlow
Weed, Cornelius Vanderbilt, founder
Of the Vanderbilt millions and known
to New Workers. as "the Commodore"
made President Lincoln an offer to
stop the ram and keep It away with
one Of his own ships, stipulating.
however, that he would accept no
money for his services and that he
was to be free from bossing Of the
Navy department. It was further
stipulated that he was to have COM
mand with crew to be furnished by
the government. In So hours he was
steaming into the mouth Of the James
river. The commodore was then sixty
seven Years old, and his ship was his
namesake, the Vanderbilt. Wander
bilt promised that If the Merrimac re-
appeared he would run her down as
a hound runs down a wolf, strike her
amidships and sink her." The Mer-
rimac did not reappear.
After the immediate danger was
over the commodore returned home,
but he generously agreed to allow his
ship to remain in the service until the
war was over.-Detroit News.

The Raln,sr.a ldlem.

The painters message Is spoken in
paint, truly enough. But paint Is
highly specialized medium, the spe-
cifc quality of which Is not readily
comprehended by most people. Words,
If anything, are popularity understood.
To write about paintings properly is
as far as possible to translate them
from a more difficult to less dtficMlt
medium. Since the justification of
every art Is. It's ability to say things
which no other can, no translation
can ever be complete; but enough Of
the message Of painting can be indi-
Gated by words to arouse curiosity. to
sharpen perception, to convey delight.
So that by Interesting people In what
can be said about paintings they may
BE led on to an interest In the paint
ipgs themselves.-Virgil Barker, IN

PROPER CARE OF TIMEPIECE
Sensitive Piece Of Mechanism Seldom
Given the Attention Which Should
Be Accorded It.

On cold days many Of us are annoyed
to find that our pocket or wrist time
pieces are not behaving well.
Suspecting dirt or tired" mechan-
ism, we take our chronometer to be ex-
amined and doctored.
But how many owners Of watches at
tribute any blame to themselves when
their timepiece goes out of order?
A watch is highly sensitive piece
Of mechanism. About IS per cent Of
us, on retiring for the night, place our
watches on the cold washstand or man.
telpiece, and during the night, the fire
having burned down and out, the at
mosphere offthe bedroom becomes chill
". Now, all metals contract with cold,
yet many express surprise when they
rise in the morning and find that their
timepiece has gone wrong.
The best plan to prevent your watch
from becoming frozen up" Is to sleep
with it under your pillow. This evens
the temperature-and, incidentally,
your watch is in safer resting place
It is generally thought that 1t is
merely a matter Of convenience wheth-
err timepiece is wound up at night or
in the morning. The morning Is the
better time, because, fortified with the
latent power in the spring, the mechan-
ism is more able to Withstand the jolts
and shakes it receives during the day.

Explorer Gives Some
Facts About Eskimos

Vilhjalmur Stefansson, writing
under the title, Popular Errors" in
the London Spectator, says that Es-i
kimos do not drink oil. They actually
consume less Stood for power than
the average Scotsman or Norwegian,
and for obvious reasons, IL you forget
your theories and consider the facts.
Eskimos undoubtedly would be
fond Of fat-it is even possible that
they might drink oil-if it were true
that they were more exposed to cold
than the rest Of us. This is the weak
link in the chain. The Eskimos are
really exposed to cold less than the
average American or Britisher.
We are told that this is due to the
fact they they wear fur clothing out
of doors, and that their snug snow
huts are so warm that they sit in mid
winter naked in the overheated houses
with streams of Precipitation running
down their bodies, which they mop
continually with towels Indeed, the
only time that Stefansson, ever saw
an Eskimo shiver was in midsummer
when his clothes were worn out.

INVENTOR IN EARLY YOUTH
John Muir, When Boy, Gave Pron1-
ise of the Genius That Later
Made Him Famous.

John Muir, the naturalist, in his
youth, developed talent for inven-
ton, making his own tools out of the
material at hand. During this period
he invented an apparatus which, when
attached to his bed, not only awakened
him at a definite hour, but stimuli
taneously lighted lamp. After so
many minutes allotted for dressing. a
book was pushed up from rack be-
low the top of his desk, thrown open,
and allowed to remain there certain
number of minutes. Then the machin-
cry closed the book, dropped 1t back
into its place, and moved the rack
forward with the next book required.
Muir also constructed a timepiece
which indicated the days OF the
month and of the week as we'll as
the hours. One of his clocks kept
good time for 80 years. He also built
a self-settlng sawmill and an auto
matte contrivance for feeding horses
ut required hour. Among his tools
vas fine saw made out of strips of
steel from old corsets, and bradawls,
punches and pair of compasses from
wire and old files.

Sheiks Study the Bible

How Moslems listen to the Bible
and sheiks study the Old Testament,
IS told by Presbyterian missionary,
Mrs. FL. r. Boyes of Tripoli, Syria, in
a report to the Presbyterian board of
foreign missions:
zone sheik was in the hospital as a
patient last year and before he left he
asked for Bible We hear that he
has committed much of the New Tes-
lament to memory, and Is teaching it
also to his children. Each evening he
gathers his friends around him while
he reads to them Our colporteur in
this section of the field is selling a
great many Scriptures, or portion
thereof.
1.-Two sheiks became, so interested
that they went to Palestine to study
Hebrew, so that they could study the
Old Testament in the original. They
formed circle of friends who studied
evenings, but were compelled to move
from their homes by the Moslem in
charge of that particular district"

The lowly pickle has come into its
