Uncharted Rocks Are
Terror to Mariners

Uncharted rocks and islands of the
sea have mysterious ways of lodging
and befooling mapmakers. Some
times they are dangerous.
One of the worst, Lamb rock, WAS
found about thirty years ago coming
straight up to the surface In water
200 feet deep. 1t was like catlie
dral spire and rose straight into III
middle of the Canadian liner lane ins'
the st. Lawrence river. In Calm
weather its tip was 33 feet below tue
surface. This Is a bare margin OF
safety. but in rough weather the rock
was a lurking peril to any big ship
that might come along.
The Avocet rock. in the souther'.
end of the Red sea, also stands In the
middle of the steamer lane to lndia
The steamer Avocet struck 1t and sans
In 1O4 fathoms. 1t looked like pure
carelessness on the part OF the cap
tain.
The British vessel Flying Fish was
sent to investigate. 1t could hnd no
trace Of any rock. Then another snip
the Teddington, sank at the sains
place. Another British vessel went {
investigate, and 1t, too. could find moth
ing. Then third vessel nosed about
In the vicinity for six weeks Wild

Finally Il. NJ. $. Stork made an in
vestigation and located the rock only
three hundred yards from the place
where one Of its predecessors had an

hare fifteen feet of water at low hde

The Unity of Nature

Nature can only be conceived as
existing to a universal and not par
ticular end; to universe Of ends, and
not to one-a work of ecstasy to be
represented by a circular movement,
as intention might be signifed by
straight line of definite length. Each
eject strengthens every other. There
IS no revolt in all the kingdoms from
the common veal; no detachment of
an individual. Hence the catholic
character which makes every leaf an
exponent of the world. When we be-
hold the landscape in a poetic spirit,
we do not reckon individuals. Nature
knows neither palm nor oak, but only
vegetable life, which sprouts into for
ests and festoons the globe with a
garland of grasses and vines
Emerson.

" Fairy Music" May Not
Be Mere IMAGINATION

Stories Of fairy music In the forest,
Of haunted waterfalls, and mermaids
singing near the seashore, long
thought mere Pigments of the imagi-
nation, may have sound basis in
fact. In an issue of Science, DR.. Al.
exander Forbes of the Harvard medi-
cal school reports numerous cases In
which trees seem TO have separated
discordant shouts and noises and CIV
en- back echoes in musical tones.
In every case" he says, '4the source
Of the sound-waves on beach, roar
or a river, exhaust of motor boat or
discordant human voices-was one in
which many pitches were present.
Something in the surroundings, usual
~ trees, must have separated the
sounds according to pitch, placing
those of one pitch in one place and
those of another pitch elsewhere. In
this respect the phenomenon appears
analogous to that of white light being
broken up into pure spectral colors by
prism"
This reflection of absorption of
sound waves Of different pitches. Doc
tor Forbes explains, is only rarely OBJ.
served Sometimes the phenomenon
is distinct and clear in one spot. yet
a few PAGES backward or forward only
the ordinary noises are heard.
The frequent association of trees
with these musical echoes is thought
to be due to the lack of uniformity
they present as rejecting surface
for the sounds. Each tree apparently
sends back part of the sound, and this
reflection is boken up into innumer-
able parts on account Of the varying
element OF distance.

James Fowler Of Springfield. Mass,

Prins;tiUe Customs in
Cornish Fishing Totun

A place where grown men play mar
bles with the zest of schoolboys and
where cats catch live fish among the
rock pools when the tide is out Such
place does exist, and in the quaint
old fishing town of st. Ives, In far
away Cornwall, these things may be
seen.
In the cool Of the evening, along the
broad road bordering the sheltered
harbor, numerous groups of hardy fish
ermen, with sea and sun-tanned COM
plexions, play marbles for hours at
time, surrounded by many interested
onlookers, remarks London Tit-Bits.
Grizzled old mariners, many of
whom preserve the old Cornish custom
of wearing small gold earrings, pace
the quayside in parties of three and
four, following the walk four steps
and turn" which is all they are able
to do on the clear space on the decks
Of their luggers.
There is legend about the cats Of
st. Ives, but there was surely never
another fishing town with so many
cats. Each morning, when the nights
catches Of mackerel, dogfsh and skate
are brought ashore, the fish are
cleaned on tables placed near the
waters edge. and scores of cats have
a glorious feed on the offal.

UNIQUE British Island

Most of Britain's islands have their
story, which is sometimes unique.
The most striking instance, perhaps,
Is Sunk island, in the Humber-a lit
tie world that has the peculiar distinc-
ton of being, the youngest bit OF
Britain.
1t is, in point of age, mere bant-
ling, having been formed in compare
lively recent times of land carried
away by the sea from the northeast
coast. This land was swept down to
Spurn head and then up the Humber,
where it lodged and in time formed
an island. The process is still going
on, and as result the island continues
to grow. The public is enriched with
out knowing it; for this curious for
nation is the property of the Crown.

Eclipse of Sun on January
"a is Visible Here

On January "a, for the first
time in many years, total
eclipse of the sun will be visible
in the eastern section of the
United States. In Woodstock
the eclipse will be from 90 to o5
per cent complete.
The visibility of the eclipse
will depend upon weather con-
ditions on that day. The
shadow of the moon is calculated
to remain upon some part of the
surface Of the sun for two hours
and 20 minutes.
The eclipse first will be visible
here at a. m, it will reach its
middle point at 9:10 a. m. aud
will end at 1O:20a. m. The town
will be darkened by the eclipse.
While the prominences and
corona will not be visible in this
section, It undoubtedly will be-
come very dark here. Chick ems
will return to roost and auto
mobiles will need lights on the
streets. Ii Probably will be
about as dark as il usually il 20
minutes after sunset.

Ra,plinson Was Peeped

A number of good stories center
around General Lord Rawlinson, who
for 40 years was connected with the
British army in India. The general
was brought prominently before the
British public eye by being home on
furlough. While he was in command
of a column during the South African
war. Lord Rawlinson was constantly
sending in demands for photographs,
with no result. At last when drawing
near Kroonstadt, in what was then
the Orange River colony, he signaled
again to ask whether his photographs
had arrived. Officialdom, however. was
rampant, and wanted to know What
do you want them for?" Back went
the reply with caustic brevity. ITO fry
kidneys on, of course!"

Failures Caused by
Lack of InitiatiUe

One of the greatest improvements
of the automobile is the self-starter,
now found on all but the cheapest
kinds of cars, which need TO be
cranked by hand.
The device suggests the reflection
that very large proportion Of the hui
man family require something of like
nature.
They lack initiative, voluntary eff
fort; they need cranking In the form
of orders or directions before doing
anything worth while.
The men and women who succeed
best in life and get the most out Of it
are of the self-starter type. They
don't wait to be told or advised what
to undertake, but proceed of their own
accord to do things.
The great inventors, such as Edison,
are all of this sort, says the Sacra-
mento Bee. They are originators, not
mere followers or imitators, and they
rank among the chief benefactors of
the world.
So 1t is in business, literature, art,
the various industries, and, in fact, all
occupations. Success in each is de
pendent chiefly upon originality or in
itiative.

broidered at the end with the
Papal seal-red and gold Slip

we all knelt down. He paused in
the entrance. and made the sign
of the cross-then he walked to
first person and held out his
hand with the RUG on it, to be
kissed-the man kissed the ring
reverently, and the Pope moved
to the next. The thin priest and
the shabby boy were sitting two
seats away from us, the Pope
spoke to all the priests. and when
be spoke to this one he answered
him, telling him the boy was
soon to become monk, the
Pope smiled and laid his hand on

was over, the subway train that
seemed to be roaring in the back
of my head, stopped, and could
watch the rest. As soon as the
Pope had passed, the young
chamberlain behind him would
sign to us to stand up. When he
came to the Italian family The
father said Holy Father, may l
touch my ring to yours?" and
did. Then came the
two foreign priests. the tall
spoke to them and in
troduced them to the Pope, by
name.

are Brother William and Brother
Angelini, they have made long
to Rome" The Pope
spoke 10 them and they were not
a bit afraid, for they smiled like
happy children and told him they
were carrying holy medals back
their parish, when he leaned oyer
and laid his hand on the cheap
little bundles, and the young
faces shone ever brighter.
Then he walked 10 the center
of the room again, and we all
knelt over once more as he asked
blessing. His voice is wonder
full, rich and very musical then he
made the sign of the cross again
turned. his guard surrounded
him and he went out.
Everyone now proceeded to
wander about, looking at the
beautiful paintings, but the two
foreign priests cared nothing for
all that. they spread all their
precious little bundles on a chair
and admired them!
