In a iittlo book entitled "Culnni- j
bas Chitdonc" Captain William A. <
Andrews, who has acquired fame by J
crossing tlie Atlantic in small boats, j
tells of his adventures in the little !
14 foot boat Sa polio, in which lie j
crossed from Atlantic City to Palos, '
Spain, in 1S'.<2. The voyage occupied j
69 days, including a stop at .the j
Azores islands.
During nil of bis four voyages lv
never tasted warm food. II - i
"stores" consisted mainly of canned
beef, condensed milk, ship Vi.-cuiK
beef extract and canne<Vk'ans. Near-
ly all his meals were eaten while he
bad one hand on the boat's tiller.
Alone on the ocean for >vt<cks at a
time, without sighting a ho
sailed day after day. «'olumlu- him-
self would scarcely have venturi'd
on such a trip. America's di-e.rrer
had three good sized v. --i!- ! ■ ;
men, the best equipment^ of th >
times, and in addition tlio 1>1<-—i':^ of
the church. Captain Andrews bad
nothing but a coffin shaped boat I t
feet long, a little store of provisions,
an old quadrant, a compass and a
chart. But through all his dani/cr-
and lonely Lours Captain. An<lr>- •
cheerfulness never ilesi-rtwl him
"She looks iiko a coffin,tai.l ,
many who gazed at tho littlo craft j
before she started. "'So she does, i
rej)lied her captain, with a grim j
smile, "and as I built her .myself I j
will be my own undertaker if she j
sinks."
Onoweek after leaving port, when
tho little old tub was leaking badly
and death stared Captain Andrews j
in tho face, this entry was made in
tho log:
"Nomail today. Can't underhand
why my best girl don't drop me a
lino." '
Another entry describes a bath t he
captain took and comments on tho
fact that "when you're traveling
this way no bathing suit or bathtub
is necessary."
One dark night a big sea nearly
swamped the little cralt. and this is
how tho log describes the event:
"Ihavc just turned in, 1 have just,
turned out again. As soon a- 1 eJo-.-d
my eyes a big sea came over and
slapiwd me on the 'eoeoaiiut.' As I
bail her out I am singing that
old .song so popular among tin; Hi-
bernian gentry of the pick and shovel
w ho reside near Harlem, New York:
'Work, ye terriers, work! Hail, ye
terriers, bail! "
Three weeks ou! this chivy ap,
pears: "Sighted lots.of little fishes
swimming about my boat, waiting
for a dolphin to come along. Then
they will go away on tho inside of
tho dolphin."
A novel way to keep hoots from
wearing out is thus mentioned in
the log: "Have discovered a new
way of keeping boots from wearing
oat. Don't put them on. Haven't
had mine on for a week. They are
wearing splendidly.".
And so on goes the log. day after
day, nearly every entry containing
some attempt at humor, showing
the fearlessness and buoyant dispo-
sition of tho lone mariner.

seriously. They were seized with a
passion for philosophy, for philan-

They embraced the deism of Vol-
taire, the materialism of Diderot

Helvctins, or they dreamed with
Rousseau and fet.Pierre of a renovat-
ed humanity yielding to every im-
pulse of nature, and by that means
returning to its pristine innocence.
It is not only Walpole who grum-
bles that the French were no longer
the same people; that they had lost
their vivacity and wero forever dis-
cussing. "They talk philosophy at
balls," says Segnr again, ' and moral
science in boudoirs." These people
of quality, "who know everything
without tho trouble of learning,"
established clubs for the study of
natural science. They attended tho
most learned discussion.^ at theactul

The Statesman says: It has been
suggested that Austin recover from
the State the encampment grounds,
which now materially revert to the
city because of the State's breach of
contract to hold annual encamp*
mints there, and that then these
grounds be given to the Missouri,
