COLUMBUS' FLAGSHIP COMPARED WITH MODERN SAILING VESSELS. the Wonder to the Mariner of Today Is How the Navigator Crossed the Ocean tn His Little Caravol?A Facsimile for Ihe World's Fair. Spain is now in the midst of a series of fetes in commemoration of the dis covery of America which will last till late in October. On the 3d of August, date of the saiiing cf Columbus from Palos, the jubilation began, and of all the sights the exact reproduction of the flagship of Columbus, the Santa Maria, excited most amazement. Among the sailors in the vast gathering there was a loud chorus of astonishment and unbe lief. Almost unanimously they de clared that such a ship had not done the t&isg?it was*irrpossible. THE NEW SANTA MARIA.. It is indeed hard to believe that the Mittle caravel of 240 tons at the outside ?oald have made such a voyage, and when one compares it vnth the large -sailing vessels cf today he may well be j incredulous. With the achievements of steam and practical science we are tolerably familiar., but the fact ? then (though sailing vessels antedate written history, the progress therein since 1452 is as great as in anything else) comes to one as a great surprise. Compare the little Santa .Maria with, for instance, the magnificent Shenandoah, the Ameri can four masted bark and queen of all sailing vessels, vrhich a few months ago went from San Francisco to Liverpool with 5,002 tons of wheat cn board. Consider first the big sailer. The Shenandoah. commanded by Captain Murphy, was one of the live which left the Bay cf San Francisco last-year on the famous race around the, Horn. They sailed at high tide, of necessity, as they drew twenty-seven feet of water. The weight of wheat aboard, 5.C02 tons, was the greatest cargo cf the kind ever placed in a vessel and equivalent to 168,733 bushels, cr the crop of an aver age agricultural county. An adequate description of the Shenandoah would fill a column. Sailer as she is, >he j '*makes sail by stcum,^ as sailors say? j that is, the sails are pulled into place I by a little donkey engine, and of all glorious sights to the seaman's eye there j is none more glorious than to see her J swell from bare poles to full rig cf snowy sails in less than five minutes. The Santa Maria might have been placed on the deck of the Shenandoah without adding perceptibly to her weight of cargo. She was a decked ves sel, and while the Spanish historians do not deal in exact measurements they are so minute in details cf her capacity that her size is known. Captain Gnstavus W. Fox, after a very careful calculation, declares that her length was "C3 feet over all and 07 feet along her keel,'* with 20 feet beam end 10}-i feet in depth, fier crew consisted of fifty seamen, and i in the list are found the names of one Englishman and cne Irishman. It is really a pity that this list is not certain ly authentic: it weald be interesting to know the name of the first Irish emi grant to America. This historic vessel was wrecked on Christinas eve, 1402, on the coast of Qispaniola, a calamity due to the gross carelessness of the sailing j master. Small as she was. her consorts, the j Pinta and the Nina, were coi>siderab7.y smaller, being mere barks, railed cara vels, without decks, unless the high prow and stern may bo so called, in ths TH2 S2EXAXDOAIL center such a vessel was absolutely open j end in no respect superior to the fishing ! craft and other light coasting vessels of j today. That men should have been willing to dare- the passage of the j stormy Atlantic in sue!: craft gives us a ' high idea of their courage, and as a matter of fact only Columbus. Las | Casas, the Pinzons and two cr three other mad enthusiasts were willing, j The crew consisted ehfcfiy cf desperate characters compelled to take the trip. ; Many were released from prison to go, j and some had tu en condemned to death ! and vohmtered as a bare chance for lire, j Our astonishment is but slightly miti- j gated when we read thai Columbus did : not ask for large vessels, for there were many in the Spanish ports larger than these. lie firmly beiieved that the ; voyage would be comparatively short end the sea where he was going always smooth, and he particularly requested 1 esch vessels as would enable him to run ' close in along the shores and sail up the j rivers. On his third voyage, when be actually reached South America. he complained of the size of his vessel ; which rendered coast exploration diffi cult. The Spanishauthorities declare that the Santa Maria of lv'.>2 is an exact re production in ever}- detail of that cf ; 1492. It has the same old fashioned j shape, the same primitive masts, rig- j gings and sails, and even the same ar- : marnent of falconets and mortars, hal herds and. arquebuses. The cabin of the commander is furnished in the style of the Fifteenth century, and its table is littered with maps, documents and nan tical instruments of the period. Final ly, its mastheads are decorated with toe j royal standards of Castille and Leon, in ; exact imitation of the flags which Co- ! lunibus planted in the New World on | Oct. 12. The vessel is manned by j excellent crew, obtained from among j the rishormen and sailors of Cadiz and j tau Fernando, and placed/ under the I royal navy. At the opening of the Spanish fetes, on Aug. 3, the vrar vessels of all nations were at Huelva to salute the uew Santa Maria on her hrst vo}*age down the river, and her entrance into the Bay of Cadiz was greeted by deafening salvos. As there was almost a dead calm, however, she had to be taken in tow by a gnu boat, which marred the representation some what. Later, however, she sailed out beautifully on the route taken by Colum bus, and returned to receive renewed salutes. At this naval congress of na tions the fact was humorously com mented ?n that Columbus took with him for interpreter a scholar who knew Lat in, Greek- Hebrew, Arabic, Coptic and Armenian, in addition to Spanish; that this learned gentleman was a failure in the New World, and that the first to master any of the Indian tongues were the most illiterate sailors. But this is an oft repeated experience. J. EL Beadle. A Common Malady. **i caine into a little money a few months ago," said the sad man, "and as I had been working for others all my life I thought 1 would go into business for myself. I took a look at about fifty stores th?t "rere advertised for sale, and by the time I got through investigating I knew it all and flattered myself that the man wasn't living who could get the better of me. Nearly all the places offered for sale had a run down look about them that told only too plainly why their owners were anxious to get out of business. On the other Jiand, some of the stores had that unmistakable evidence of newness about them that I was quick to see that they were merely got up to sell by sharpers and had no es tablished trade at all. "At hist 1 bought, ont a cigar store. It was sold cn account of sickness, and no one could doubt the owners word who saw him. Ke was the sickest look ing mm I ever saw, and 1 didn't ques tion him very closely because I felt that a man who was as near dead as he was wouldn't be apt to lie. But I couldn't have bought a worse business if I had tried. During the three months I was there 1 don't think there was a single day when I didn't smoke more cigars myself than 1 sold. At last the man nest door asked me how I was making out, and when 1 told him he wanted to know what excuse the other man had given for selling. " 'It was on account cf sickness,' I said. " 'Did -he tell yon how he got sick?* the man asked. " \No,' I replied. " 'Well,' he rejoined in a low and sym pathetic voice, 'the poor fellow get sick trying to-make the place pay.'"?New York Evening Sun. TVby Rats Are Danjerous Fassengers. A most remarkable instance of the mischief which the rat is capable of do ing came to light during the proceedings cf a naval court of inquiry' held in Au gust, 1S75, for the purpose of investigat ing the cause of the loss of the bark Commodore of Hartlepool. The vessel, which was burned at sea, had been loaded with a cargo of timber, and tb_* fire broke out in the hold in a most mys terious manner. It was eventually proved, cn the evidence of the entire crew, that beyond a shadow cf doubt the outbreak was originated by a rat carrying off a lighted candle, which had stood in the forecastle and wir?presently missed by the sailors, and c rapping it among the dry and. resinous pine stowed below. The Shipping Gazette, in commenting upon this extraordinary case at the time, and speaking of the danger generally of rats on shipboard, said that "they have caused the foundering of many ships by gnawing holes in the planking or so eat ing away the inner sides of the wood a? to leave very little for the straining of the hull to do in completing the aper ture; they have been known to nibble the timoer at the waterways until the wood \v:;? so ihm as to admit rainwater through it: they will attach the bungs of casks and create leakage; find out the soft parts of the knees or lining, and j make a passage for themselves from one part to another.** So fully has the dan ger of this now come to bo recognized that such contingencies are generally provided for in the insurance of wooden built ships.?Chambers' Journal. Aii Observing Iiak^r. During a war between Austria and Turkey a baker in his cellar kneading bread noticed a slight* noise rising and falling at intervals, which seem od to couie from a distant corner of his cellar. He stopped his work, and tracing the sounds discovered that they were caused by a few marbles dancing up find down on the head of a little drum his child had left there. The majority of persons would have be<m satisfied to attribute the motion of the marbles to the rumbling in the street, cr to the occasional tiring cf guns, t :it this man was an observer. Surprised at the perfect regularity with which the marbles jumped from the dram head, he put his ear to the ground and noticed a distant tapping, lie recalled how as a boy he had heard from one end of a long log a companion scratching with a pin upon the other end, and he judged that the earth was just such a conductor of sound as the log had been. Suddenly it Cashed upon him that what he heard was the sound cf a pick, and that the Turks were doing what had so long been feared, undermining the ory. The news was carried to tho Aus trian general, examination made, r? counter mine prepared and exploded, and the Turks put to Gight.?Youth's Com panion. Too Fran?t i:xj>x<-ssi<?ns.

The history of suicides presents a long array of eminent victims. The suicides of antiquity are not considered, for men were educated in those days to embrace suicide when all was lost. We do not find many conspicuous instances cf sui cide in the Middle Ages. Outdoor ac tivity and an intensely practical life was the rule with men of sensibility outside of convent walls, and suicide was not common until the Eighteenth century, when men of sedentary lives began to multiply. The Nineteenth century is conspicuous for suicides compared with the Eighteenth, and the most studious nation in the world, Germany, furnishes the largest list of suicides. Next to Germany, France furnishes the largest list of suicides among civil ized peonies. The English are not prone to suicide. Their love of outdoor sports keeps them free from dyspepsia and dis orders of the liver, and their native courage and endurance prompts them to cling to live even when life is but one long, ceaseless round of pain. Three eminent Englishmen committed suicide, Lord Clive, the founder cf England's Indian empfre; Sir Samuel Romilly, a great jurist and philanthropist, and Lord Castlereagh. a famous statesman, England's representative in the congress of Vienna after the fall of Napoleon. Clive was a hypochrondriac from youth, and used opium in his last years; Romilly was despondent over the death of his wife, and bitterly repented his act with his dying breath. The self de struction of Castlereagh was never clearly explained. Napoleon attempted suicide. Frederick the Great prepared for it by carrying poison in his clothes during his dreadful fight for his crown. No eminent American has ever commit ted suicide, although snicide is more common hi America than in England, owing doubtless to the intensity of our struggle for wealth and fame. Insane men are frequently suicides, but it can hardly be said that all sui cides are insane. The paralysis of the instinct cf self preservation may result from severe mental and bodily suffer ing, and the deliberation and seeming sanity of the suicide's preparation for death, the calmness of his last words, would often seem to forbid the theory of insanity. The hopeless consumptive, j the victim cf cancer, not seldom com- j mits suicide to secure that sudden stop to suffering that we call humanity when extended to a wretched brute. Suicide I is rare among savage tribes, probably because they are so occupied with pure- j ly material matters that they have no I time for spiritual agony or severe men tal strain, or a costly round of various vi'*es.?Kansas City Journal. Chased hy a Wild Car. *T was chased once by a box car,"' said Harry G. Moore, an ox-railroad man. "It was out in Colorado, the land of steep grades and sharp curves. We were sliding down the mountains one day with a baggage car and two coaches. I was on the rear platform looking at the road when 1 descried a box car coming down the grade at a rate of speed that was appalling. If it struck ns we were gone sure, for it would smash the entire train into kindling wood and pile it up in one cf the gorges. Our only hope was either to cntrun or wreck it. The engineer caught sight of it at the same instant that I did and put the lever down among the tallow pots, [t appeared impossible that we could hold the track 011 the sharp curves while moving more than a mile a minute, but we did, and the box car continued to saw wood. "If we could once get to the foot of the grade we would he safe, but that was soon seen to be impossible. Rapidly as we were going the box car continued to gain upon ns, and now we could seo I hat it was leaded with iron. Some thing must be done and that quickly. Add the passengers had fied into the for ward coach and were hanging on to the seats. I signaled the engineer to shut ^ff, set a brake hard on the rear coach, pulled the pin and the engineer opened the throttle. We had not gone 100 yards before the box car ran into the coach and sent splinters flying a quarter of a mile high. Both went plunging over into x chasm."?St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
