WHY=======
Ships That Sink in Ocean Co
All Way to Bottom
Despite the notion that u ship which
goes down at sen does not sink all
the way to the bottom, but remains
suspended in the water because of
the increased pressure and density at
Brent depths, It does sink all the way
to the bottom.
Pressure In Itself does not enter
into the problem, because the pres
sure of a fluid Is exerted equally from
all directions. Increased density,
which Is due chiefly to the greater
pressure, is not an important factor
In relation to this question, because
water, like other fluids, Is nearly In
compressible, and the water nt the
bottom of the ocean in the deepest
places weighs only about r> per cent
more than an equal volume of water
at the surface.
Here is (lie law of floating and
sinking bodies: If a body weighs more
than Its equal volume of water nt any
depth. It will sink and continue to
sink until it reaches the bottom; If It
weighs less, it will float on the sur
face; and if It weighs the same, it
will stay wherever placed. In other
words, an object sinks in water if Its
average density, including entrapped
nlr, Is greater than the density of
the water In which it Is . immersed.
The weight of fresh water is about
02.4 pounds a cubic foot. Therefore,
since, according to the principle of
Archimedes, the lifting effect on s
submerged body is equal to the
weight of the displaced liquid, any
object weighing more than 02.4
pounds a cubic foot will sink in fresh
water.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Why of the First Joke
Found in Humor History
It Is Impossible to say with any
degree of certainty who started the
lirst practical joke. Doctor L’Est range
in Ills history of English Humour says
In his chapter on ancient humour that
the pleasure found in hostile laughter
soon led to practical Jokes. They were
anciently very common and formed the
first link between humour and the
ludicrous.
The first character In the records
of antiquity that seems to have had
anything quaint or droll about It is
that of Samson, lie was fond of mak
ing very sanguinary “sport for the
Philistines.” It is said that “he caught
3(H) foxes, and took fire-brands, and
turned tail to tail, and put a fire-brand
In the midst between two tails, aud
when he had set the brands on fire,
he let them go Into the standing corn
of the Philistines, and burnt up both
the shocks and also the standing corn
of the Philistines, with the vineyards
and olives." On another occasion he
allowed himself to he bound with
cords, and thus apparently delivered
powerless into the hands of his en
emies. lie then broke his bonds "like
Hax that was burnt with fire,” and
taking the Jaw hone of an ass slew
1,000 men with it
Why Silk Worm Keeps Secrets
The silk worm has been studied for
centuries and man has succeeded In
Imitating its product, but at the same
time there are many things about the
silk worm's habits and product which
man does not understand. One of the
unanswered questions is. why Is the
fiber spun with a triangular section?
There might he an explanation here
in terms of luster, but presumably the
silkworm does not care unduly for
appearances. Possibly it is because
there Is a higher ratio of drying sur
face to area for a triangular section
than one that Is circular, hut If so,
why doesn't she go the whole distance
and make a (luted affair, or ribbon?
Why dues she make two fibers and ce
ment them together?
Why Finns Are Sturdy
First under Sweden and then un
der Russia, the Finns have laid a
rough passage ever since the middle
ages, while the geographical position
of their country made It for centur
ies a buffer state and the cockpit of
norrhern Europe. Consequently, Fin
land has produced a virile race with
staunch qualities and well-defined
characteristics, which are the direct
result of the difficult conditions im
posed on the people from the Fifteen)n
to the Twentieth century.

HORORS OF NEXT WAR
Speaking before a large au
dience in London, Arthur Hen
derson, former British foreign
secretary, warned that the next
great war if it ever should come
will involve the wholesale kill
ing of civilian populations as
well as military forces.
He declared that the war
would be largely fought by air
craft using poison gases from
which none in the attacked
areas could escape. He also
said that it has been found im
possible to humanize warfare,

Why Linei Painted on Highways
ltlack lines such as are painted on
curves and hills on some highways
are to indicate to ttie driver that from
tlie start of the line to the end he is In
such a position that there is a “blind
spot" ahead, around the curve or over
' the hill, where an oncoming car could
not lie seen by hint. When lie reaches
tlie end of such a line he knows lie can
see far enough ahead to see any near
ing car.
Why Smokestacks Slanted

! for once it is started no power
can control it, and that the only
I way to stop such barbarities is
to stop war itself.
Mr. Henderson’s speech was
in the nature of a plea for the
| mobilizing of public opinion
throughout the world against
war.
There is not the slightest
doubt that a future war of
large proportions would be
attended by indescribable hor
rors. The engines of destruct
ion which civilization has de
veloped might conceivably de
stroy civilization Itself, after
the manner of Frankenstein’s
monster.
Whether the nations can pro
duce statesmen able to prevent
such a calamity is the most im
portant question now facing
the world.
GOLD SHIP ISLANDER .
DRAGGED NEARER BEACH
Word received from Juneau
said crews of the Curtis-Wiley
Marine Salvage Co. of Seattle
have dragged the wreck of the
sunken steamer Islander a mile
toward shore, with only half
a mile more to go to put the
hulk on the beach. The Island
er was lost in Stevens Pass,
eleven miles from Juneau, Au
gust 15, 1900, with a toll of
sixty-six lives. The wrecked
vessel was reported to be car
rying $2,000,000 in gold bul
lion when it struck a submerg
ed iceberg and sank in deep
water.
ALASKA NOTES
Leo Young, Wm. Fleek and
Emil Field form a group of
Juneau men who have taken
a lease on the Silver Queen
mining claim at Sheep Creek,
which they are now working
in the hope of making a good
clean-up.
F. E. Getos, aged 61 years
rowed into Juneau recently
from Seattle. His boat is a 15
footer with a beam of 54 inches
Getos built the craft in Seattle
and paddled out of Elliot Bay
the middle of last April.
| He had grub enough to last
him for a few days when he
left Seattle and very little
money. When he arrived at
Juneau he had a good stock of
food aboard and a larger jingle
in his pocket than when he
started. He made his money
fishing in American waters.
Miss Betty Shilton, known to
hundreds of Alaskans through
her former pipe organ concerts
broadcast over KOMO. from
the Fifth Avenue Theatre in
Seatle, made her first visit to
Alaska recently as a member of
orchestra of the steamer Alas
ka. During the past year prac
tically all organists have been
eliminated from theatres in the
Northwest, and as a conse
quence Miss Shilton’s popular
broadcasts arc heard no more.
