SAILOR “CAME BACK”
ROMANCE OF THE SEA AS RE-
LATED BY THE WRITER.
Cupid Triumphed in the End, Despite
Effort of Father to Separate His
Daughter From the Man
She Loved.
Some 30 years ago I sailed with a
brigantine hailing from a New Eng-
land town. The skipper had an eight-
een-year-old daughter, his only child,
on board, his wife being dead.
The girl became friendly with one
of our ordinary seamen about twenty
years old, a clean-cut chap, who al-
ready had his master’s papers. One
night, when the young fellow was at
the wheel, the skipper came on deck
and found his daughter standing
alongside of him, with her arm around
his neck. The skipper became angry,
hit the boy, and sent him forward, and
would not allow him to come aft
again, although the girl told him she
was engaged to the boy.
Now began a trying time for the
boy. One day the young fellow, goad-
ed to desperation, defended himself
when the skipper struck him. This
was committing an unpardonable act,
as a skipper has almost unlimited
power on his own vessel.
The boy was put into irons and
when we arrived at Rio Janeiro, our
destination, the harbor police took
him to shore. I must state, to the
skipper’s credit, that he did not prose-
cute the boy, but of course his berth
was taken by another man when we
left Rio.
Five years passed. I was still with
the same skipper and so was his
daughter, but she was nct any more
the laughing, happy girl she was be-
fore. :
We had loaded pitch pine in Bruns-
wick, Ga., and were again bound for
Rio. Nearing our destination, we
were caught in a storm. The vessel
rolled awfully, the cargo chafed back
and forth and we soon knew that we
had fire in the hold. We took off the
main hatch te try and put out the fire,
but as soon as we got it open the flames
burst out, and we had to take to the
boats.
This happened at night. The ves-
sel burned for two hours, when there
was no more left of her. We stood
by her, thinking the flames weuld
draw some cther vessel to our assist-
ance. At daylight we saw a “fore ard
after” near by. In a short time we
were alongside. The skipper’s daugh-
ter was the first up the ladder and I
was close after her to prevent her
from falling backward into the boat.
The skipper of this vessel, a young
fellow, stood at the rail and helped
us to the deck. The girl looked at him
and he at her; then they fell into each
other’s arms and the girl cried from
happiness.
The young skipper was the boy her
father had treated so shabbkily.
Strange to say, the vessel was bound
for Rio, too, and he arrived there
once more securely bound, but not
with chains this time. The wedding
was celebrated in Rio and the bride
went with her husband on his vessel.

How Much Radium?
Efforts to determine the amount of
radium in the ocean have been few.
Prof. S. J. Lloyd oi the University
of Alabama finds that about thirty
samples of sea water have been test-
ed, taken from the Irish and English
coasts, the North and South Atlantic,
the Mediterranean, the Black sea, the
Arabian sea, and in his own deter-
mination from the Gulf of Mexico 200
miles south of Mobile. Discarding ex-
treme results, with a maximum 50
times greater than the minimum, it is
concluded that the total radium in
the sea somewhat exceeds 1,400 tons.
As rivers contain little, it is assumed
that this supply comes from uranium
in the sea, which must reach a total of
nearly 4,200,000,000 tens, making ura-
nium in sea-water comparable in quan-
tity to gold.
New Names fer Old Initials.
British soldiers at the front are ap-
plying new significations to old initials.
For instance, the R. F. A.—Royal field
artillery—is being called the Ready for
Anything. The men of King Edward’s
Horse say that K. E. H. means Kill
Every Hun.
The unkindest interpretation is that
put upon the letters R. A. M. C.—Roy-
al army medical corps. Some wounded
soldiers have complained of missing
belongings after their things have
passed into the keeping of the R. A.
M. C., so they declare the initials
really now stand for Rob All My Com-
rades.
War Influences Paris Veil Styies.
The war veil is the latest freak ot
fashion in Paris. Though quite gro-
tesque in appearance, it is popular in
the sense that it expresses the patriot
ism of the women.
The two designs most frequently
seen are those of a black cannon wo-
ven in the mesh just where it rests on
the cheek, and a “beauty spot” woven
to the shape of the Red Cross, but
done in white on a black background.
Heavy Guard for Morgan's Place.
J. P. Morgan's estate at Glen Cove
is still under guard and is likely to be
until the end of the war. Three men
are on duty by day and four by night.
One is on post at the bridge connect
ing East island with the mainland, and
not only every traveler, but every
package that passes can do sc only
after having been subjected to his
scrutiny. The others patrol the
beaches.
America—The World’s Granary.
When the European nations are groan-
ing under the blight of Mars the United
States has garnered the greatest harvest
in her history. Never within the agricul-
iural statistics of our nation has nature
been so bountiful, nay, even lavish, as
during the present season. The crops
exceed those ever gathered by the peo-
ple of any country, and it means plenty
for the United States, even though her
European neighbors are starving.
It has been figured that if the grain
crops of the country should be parceled
among our people, each man, woman and
child would receive ten bushels of wheat,
fourteen bushels of oats and forty bush-
els of corn. After our own people have
taken from the soil as many bushels of
grain as they will need to use this year,
there will be a remainder of 400,000,000
bushels that we could sell to those coun-
tries abroad who have neglected their
husbandry for the machine guns and the
howitzer.
In this bumper crop the wisdom of the
American farmer is seen. He realized
that the war was to” be a struggle that
could only be ended by the prostration
' of one of the allied enemies. So he gave
| his vast acres to grain alone; more till-
| age of the soil for this purpose than has
ever been known in the history of farm-
ing in this country before. If it were
| not for the war this overstimulation in
' grain would bring prices to a minimum.
| But the farmer realized, too, that the
overproduction under normal conditions | 0
| would not be apparent this season. The
i foreign demand for grain will be such
| that prices would be held at a maximum
| at home and abroad, and if the farmer
| is enabled to get his grain through em-
. bargoes and blockades he will have be-
come rich from the result of his labor.
There is but one consideration in the
| nature of an offset—the possibility that
the Dardanelles will be forced and the
Black sea opened to the export of the
great grain crops of Russia. But the
capture of Constantinople even under
the most favorable conditions seems re-
mote for some months. In fact, the
Teuton-Turk allies claim that the Darda-
nelles are impregnable and will never be
forced. That means that Russian wheat
and other grain will be held within the
Muscovite domains.—Philadelphia Press:
Spraying Fluids Have No Ill Effect, Is
the Assertion Made by Eminent
Zoologist.
Spraying fluids used on orchard
trees do not kill the birds as well
as the bugs, Prof. H. A. Surface, state
zoologist of Pennsylvania, recently de-
clared in an effort to upset a theory
encouraged in some important circles.
This authoritative statement from
Professor Surface ought to be regard-
ed as conclusive and set at rest the
doubts of many readers of this page.
“I have watched this subject with
the greatsst care in thousands of
sprayed orchards in Pennsylvania,”
the noted zoologist said, “and I am
prepared to say with certainty that
I never have known of a case of a
bird being killed by spraying or hav-
ing been found dead under circum-
stances that justify the suspicion that
this was the cause of its death.’
“We have examined the stomach of
dead birds and have found no evidence
of arsenic to which their death could
be attributed.
“I live in the midst of one of the
largest orchards in Pennsylvania,
which has been sprayed frequently,
and. it is full of birds’ nests. I am
sure that if spraying were destructive
to birds they would not be nesting in
this orchard.
“It is well known that the amount
of arsenic necessary to kill an insect
will not affect or kill a bird, and also
the birds will not eat dead insects. It
would be necessary for the bird to eat
a great many beetles to take enough
poison to affect it in the least.”
Pronouns and Genders. .
Our ability to personify a sea ship
by using the pronoun “she” and to
keep the Zeppelin in place as “it”
brings out one strong point of our
language.
It is impossible to be so subtle in
French, which has no neuter or in
German, with its arbitrary scattering
of genders. Mark Twain gave as a
typical instance of good German:
“Wilhelm, where is the turnip?” “She
has gone to the kitchen.” “Where is
the accomplished and beautiful Eng-
lish maiden?” “It has gone to the
opera.”
Mark went on to observe that in
Germany a tree is male, its buds fe-
male, its leaves neuter; horses are
sexless; dogs male, cats female—in-
cluding tomcats. By some oversight
of the inventor of the language a
woman is a female; but a wife (weib)
is not.—London Chronicle.

of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, That
the following is proposed as an amendment to
the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Penn-
sylvania, in accordance with the provisions of
the eighteenth article thereof: —
Amend section eight, article nine of the Con-
stitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
which reads as follows:
Section 8. The debt of any county, city, bor-
ough, township, school district, or other munic-
ipality or incorporated district, except as herein
provided, shall never exceed seven per centum
upon the assessed value of the taxable property
therein, nor shall any such municipality or dis-
trict incur any new debt, or increase its indebt-
edness to an amount exceeding two per centum
upon such assessed valuation of property, with-
out the assent of the electors thereof at a public
election in such manner as shall be provided by
law; but any city, the debt of which now ex-
ceeds seven per centum of such assessed valua-
tation, may be authorized by law to increase the
same three per centum, in the aggregate, at any
one time, upon such valuation, except that any
debt or debts hereinafter incurred by the city
and county of Philadelphia for the construction
and development of subways for transit pur-
poses, or for the construction of wharves and
docks, or the reclamation of land to be used in
the construction ‘of a system of wharves and
docks, as public_improvements, owned or to be
owned by said city and county of Philadelphia,
and which shall yield to the city and county of
Philadelphia current net revenues in excess of
the interest on said debt or debts, and the an-
nual installments necessary for the cancellation
of said debt or debts, may be excluded in ascer-
taining the power of the city and county of Phil-
adelphia to become otherwise indebted: Pro-
vided, That a sinking fund for their cancellation
shall be established and maintained,” so that it
shali read as follows: —
Section 8. The debt of any county, city, bor-
ough, township, school district, or other munici-
pality or incorporated district, except as herein
provided, shall neyer exceed seven per centum
upon the assessed value of the taxable property
therein, nor shall any such municipality or dis-
trict incur any new debt, nor increase its indebt-
edness to an amount exceeding two per centum
upon such assessed valuation of property, with-
out the consent of the electors thereofat a public
election in such manner as shall be provided by
law; but any city, the debt of which on the first
day of January, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-four, exceeded seven per centum of such
assessed valuation, and has not since been re-
duced to less than such per centum, may be
authorized by law to increase the same three per
centum in the aggregate, at any one time, upon
any such valuation. The city of Philadelphia,
upon the conditions hereinafter : et forth, may in-
crease its indebtedness to the extent of three per
centum in excess of seven per centum upon such
assessed valuation for the specific purpose of pro-
viding for all or any of the following purposes,—
to wit: For the construction and improvement
of subways, tunnels, railways, elevated railways,
and other transit facilities; for the construction
and improvement of wharves and docks and for
the reclamation of land to be used in the con-

thereof at a public election to be held in such
manner as shall be provided by law. In ascer-
taining the borrowing capacity of said city of
Philadelphia, at any time, there shall be excluded

sulting from any previous expenditure, for any
one or more of the specific purposes hereinbefore:
enumerated shall be yielding to said city an an-
nual current net revenue; the amount of which
credit shall be ascertained by capitalizing the an-
nual net revenue during the year immediately
preceding the time of such ascertainment. Such
capitalization shall be accomplished by ascertain-
ing the principal amount which would yield such
annual, current net revenue, at the average rate
of intergst, and sinking d charges payable
upon the indebtedness incurred by said city for
such purposes, up to the time of such ascertain-
ment. The method of determining such amount,
so to be excluded or allowed as a credit, may be
prescribed by the General Assembly.
In incurring indebtedness, for any one, or
more of said purposes of construction, improve-
ment, or reclamation, the city of Pniladelphia
may issue its obligations’maturing not later than
fifty years from the date thereof, with provision
for a sinking-fund sufficient to retire said obliga-
tion at maturity, the payment to such sinking-
fund to be in equal or graded annual instalments,
Such obligations may be in an amount sufficient
to provide for and may include the amount of the
interest and sinking-fund charges accruing and
which may accrue thereon throughout the period
of construction and until the expiration of one
vear after the completion of the work for which
said indebtedness shall have been incurred; and
said city shall not be required to levy a tax to pay
