A Modern AHc.
No secret seems to have been made
of the method of construction
adopted by Noah in building his ark:
On the contrary, the specifications
are given in detail in the Bible.
Imitations of it have been attempt
ed now and then in recent times
Thus, in the year 1609, a Dutch mer
chant name Peter Jansen built a
Hoorn a ship on the same model,
though not of corresponding size.
It was 120 feet long, 20 feet broad
and 12 feet deep.
The vessel was found to be remark
ably well adapted for freightage, a:i3
it is said would hold one-third more
lading than other ships of like size
without requiring more hands to
work it.
Much more recently several so
called "fleuten," or floats, were
built after the model of the ark in
Denmark.

PURSUED BY GHOSTLY SHIP
Tradition of Modern Flying Dutchman
That Massachusetts Fishermen
Firmly Believe In.
The burial of John Winters, recalled
to old-time fishermen a tradition of a
modern Flying Dutchman with its
ghostly crew that was believed to
roam the seas in pursuit of a ship that
had sent them to the bottom relates
a correspondent from Gloucester. Win
ters was the last survivor of the
crew of the Gloucester schooner,
Charles Haskell, which in a storm in
March, 1869, ran down and sank a
Salem schooner and its entire crew on
Georges fishing banks. He died at
the Fishermen's Snug Harbor in his
eighty-second year, repeating almost
to the last the tale of the ghost ship
supposed to have pursued the Has
kell throughout its career as a fish
erman. Once off Eastern point, at the en
trance of Gloucester harbor, Winters
said, a schooner ran down the wind,
hove alongside the Haskell, and its
phantom crew climbed the rigging, de
claring themselves the ghosts of the
Salem fishermen.
Winters and others of the Haskell's
crew refused to fish in the ship again
and a new crew was taken on. These
returned with a similar story of ghost
ly visitations at sea, took their dun
nage bags and quit Another and still
a fourth crew were shipped, but each
came to port with a renewal of the
story of a ship shrouded in white and
a specter crew, and the Haskell was
hauled up, unable to get men. It fin
ished its seagoing as a sand freighter,
and the Salem ship was not heard of
again.
URUGUAY RICH IN AMETHYSTS
Gems Found in "Goedes," Which . Is
Nature's Way of Storing Precious
Stones for Posterity.
The northwestern part of Uruguay
Is a newly discovered field for the pro
duction of amethysts, which occur in
"geodes." The geodes, so plentiful
that they are picked up in the fields,
are carried on mule-back or in carts
to the nearest railway station and
shipped in barrels to Salto, whence
they are transported by river boat to
Montevideo.
Naturally, it will be asked, What is
a geode? Originally, it was a hole in
rock. Water percolating through the
rock deposited silica, making a lining
for the cavity. The lining grew thick,
er and thicker, and after a long time,
if the rock were broken nr "weath
ered" to pieces, a hard nodule would
drop out. The nodule is a geode;
and if, as sometimes happens, the
silica has formed crystals inside of
it, colored by metallic salts, the goede
is a little jewel bpx containing ame
thysts. A beautiful statuette, eight inches
high, of a woman dancing, has re
cently been placed in the Morgan Gem
hall of the American Museum of Nat
ural History, in New York city. It
is carved out of a perfect block of
translucent sapphire (blue quartz)
from Uruguay.
Climate and Agriculture.
The surprising idea that an arid
climate is the most favorable for ag
riculture is explained by a report on j
the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project ;
in the state of Washington. In such a
climate plant growth is stimulated by
almost continuous sunshine, th?e is
no night chilling of the soil' following
cloudy days, and crops are harvested
promptly without spoilage by ru:n. th
products being greatly improved and
the harvesting cost lessened. The
chief advantage of all, however, is
control of the water, which by arti
ficial irrigation can be supplied at the
best time and in the quantities needed
by the crops. The scant rainfall of
the Columbia basin area has been a
preparation for the new method, for
the moisture has not been sufficient to
leach away the stored plantfood, but
there has been drainage enough to
prevent the accumulation of alkali
salts, the most soluble of the earth's
constituents.
President Obregon, of Mexico,
has ordered the return of all proper
ties siezed by past governments in
Chihuahua, Coahuila, Tamaulipas
and Nuevo Leon, including that of
the Mormons in Chihuahua, tracts
owned by Luis Terrazas and land:
abandoned by Americans when revo
lutions broke out
Despite diking and channeling

HAS NEVER SEEN
THE EQUAL OF IT
Danville Man Tells Of 'Wile's Won
derful Recovery Since Taking
Tanlac.
"Well, sir, I have never in my life
seen anything to equal the way Tan
lac restored my wife's health after
everything else had failed," said R.
B. Taylor, of 129 East Stokes St
Danville, Va.
"At the time my wife began tak
ing Tanlac," said Mr- Taylor, "she
was almost past going. For three
months she had been unable to eat or
sleep, to do any good and was so
weak and nervous she felt miserable
all the time. Her muscles ached
constantly, she could hardly walk
from one room to another and her
feet burned like fire. Many a night
she got up and sat in a chair because
she couldn't sleep. Nothing helped
her and she became very low-spirited
and I was completely at a; loss
what to do next.
"But the turning point came when
I got her a bottle of Tanlac. for she
improved right from the start- She
has now taken three bottles, is
strong and well, has gained several
pounds in jsgight, is in fine spirits
and never complains of an ache or a
pain. Actually she looks better and
says she feel better than ever before
in her life. There is nothing too
good for us to say about Tanlac."
Crusts, Silly!
In Russia, observes Mrs. Clare
Sheridan with enthusiasm, the artis
tic spirit is very much alive. How in
teresting it would be to know what
it is living on!
Lynn, Mass., has a twelve-year-old

The Facts About Rheumr.tism.
More than nine out of ten cases of
rheumatism are either chronic or
muscular rheumatism, neither of
which require any internal treat
ment AU that is required is to
massage the affected parts freely
with Chamberlain's Liniment. You
will, be surprised at the relief which
it affords.
Eighty-two per cent of the
people who died or were injured
by fire in this country last year were
mothers and children under school
age.
The farmers own and operate
half of the automobiles and trucks
in the United States, the total of
which is more than nine million.
A Chicago judge recently sen
tenced two alleged pickpockets to at
tend church regularly for six conse
cutive months.
Treatment Of Common Colds. ,
"If all who catch cold could be
persuaded to remain in bed for the
first twenty-four hours of such an
attack" says a well known physician
"there would be fewer cases dragr
ging on with distressing symptoms
for weeks and often ending in some
more serious disease." To make
sure of a prompt recovery you should
also take Chamberlain's Couch
Remedy. Whether sick or well the
bowels should move each day.
