Umbrellas will last far longer if when wet they are placed handle downward to dry. The moisture falls from the uniformly. If stood handle upward, which is commonly the case, the top of the umbrella holds the moisture, owing to the lining underneath the ring, and therefore takes a long time to dry, thus injuring the silk or other fabric with which it is covered. This is the prime cause of the top of the umbrella wear- ing out sooner than the other part. Umbrella cases, too, are responsible for the rapid wear of the silk. The econ- stant friction causes the tiny holes that appear so provokingly early. When not in use leave the umbrella loose ; when wet never leave it open to dry, as the tense condition thus produced makes the silk stiff and then it will soon crack, A STRANGE SIGHT AT SEA.
