LUCK in speculation SOME REMARKABLE INSTANCES ON RECORD. Small Fortune* Have Been Made From the Purchase of Wreck* That at the Time Seemed to Have No. Value. Expert* laughed when a well-known firm of Melbourne grain merchant * paid £368 for the wreck of the Jean Bart, a French barque which, while j on a voyage from Antwerp to W alia roo, ran aground in Spencer gulf. South Australia. Her bold quickly ; filled, and it va* soon impossible to ' float her. For two months she was in ! this condition, and the owners in- ! structed the captain to sell the wreck iby auction. A number of Austrian I firms sent representatives to inspect j the wreck, but none of them thought it worth while to buy. The merchants I In question, however, made a bid and I 'he wreck w*as sold to them for £368. They engaged a diver to inspect the vessel. It was then discovered that i the damage to the barque was Blight. , and that a hole about a foot in diami eter, which had been torn in the | bows, could easily be repaired. The I •verb was begun at once, the water i pumped out of the hold, and ultimately i the vessel was towed to Melbourne, where it was found that the value of , (he shin and cargo was over £12,000This instance of lucky speculation in a wreck is by no means Isolated \ Some time ago a man bought a steamier which was wrecked off Yorkshire ; for £3OO. It was not a big ship, says the Standard, but she had a valuable cargo on board, and it was feared that I the bottom had been ripped out of the '■ ship and the cargo lost. In the cargo I was » large number of pictures. Few firms- cared to touch the business, and the underwriters let it go for the sum stated. But the ship was inspected and raised and then, to the surprise nf everybody, the cargo was discovered to be little the worse for its immersion The property sold for nearly £lO. W 0 Another lucky speculation was that iof a man who bought a ship which was wrecked with a valuable cargo off the coast of Africa. She had been given up as hopeless, and he secured her for a mere song Ultimately he succeeded in raising her and towing her to Gibraltar. The ship is still sailing under another name and the owner has made a fortune out of the deal It is pointed cut that there are a number of wrecks round the shores if Britain which would prove very profitable to an)one with facilities for raising them The vast amount of Iron and wood in some of the holds would pay for the cost of salvage From the Lltard one can see quite a number of wrecks on the coast line, and it has often been suggested that if these wet* salved systematically a profitable business could he built up in this way.—lxindon Tit Bits.

FEW REASONS FOR LAUGHTER English Physician Advances Opinion Which Many Will Be Slow to Indorse. An English physician. Doctor McDougal. ha* advanced an entirely new theory as to the cause and reason fol laughter. He starts with the admltte fact that we laugh easily when a man sits down on hi* own hat. or doe* some other equally painful thing 1 difficult for us to restrain our n * ,b ties when a person tumbles down, even though in the next moment »e may be very sorry for the hurt that be or she has suffered. From these instances the <iocto conclude* that laughter is really »» invention of nature to serve as an an tidote to sympathy, which Is painful. If we could not laugh, we would cry much more frequently, and the nery ous excitement would be most baneful. But when we laugh the circulation '« increased, the respiration is deepen and the system is generally toned up If we did not laugh we would become so depressed in the course of a short time that death or insanity "ould supervene. The smile and the laugh, he holds, are different, even in kind, for he points to the fact that babte* smile when three weeks old, but do not laugh until they are at least three months old or more. If this be true, it will change the views of many psychologists. who have long believed that smiling was only the earllett manifestation of risibility, sad that it flowed from a sense of well being If laughter be the antidote to sympathy. we must always laugh at and never with any one, which is hardly likely to prove true. The doctor may be a keen observer, but he will hardly be credited with any great psichologleal jiower, for every one else would be wrong and he alone right. If he be correctly reported, be has omitted much that goes to make up laughter, which is not always the result of trying to avoid pain In fact. It is much more frequently a sympathetic act. and is well known to be an imitative action, for we often laugh when others laugh Sneezing. “It is worth remembering." says the Woodbury Reporter, "that a sueexe may always be suppressed by a firm pressure on the nose shutting off the wind” It is better worth knowing and remembering that though a *neexe may take the form of an unseemly disturbance of a dignified occasion, it Is too beneficent a provision of nature to be suppressed. The Greeks, we know, accepted a sneete as a favorable omen For a long time we called them superstitious and laughed at them for thinking so. If we use our modern knowledge a* to nature and purpose of a sneexe. we shall stop calling them superstitious and deem them prophet* Physiologically considered, a sneexe is a spontaneous action by which nature ejects a fpreign substance, such a* dust, from the sensitive nasal passages. In these days we are coming to understand that what we used to think merely irritating dust I* often a compound of many harmful germ* Let alone, they enter the human system and do Injurious or deadly work Ejected by a sneexe—they are often passed on to somebody else. Mothers' Pensions. Criticism of the mothers’ pension law during the first few months of It* operation may very easily be premature and unfair. The fact that counties are finding the payment of these pensions a burden may account for a great deal of it. This, however, does not dist>-b the fact that the law was passed In response to an alleged pub’lc demand, after full dlscutulon The frequent statement is made by couaty officials that the law opens the door to fraud and Improvidence The same statement was made regarding the industrial insurance law The same criticism is characteristic of a|. most all effective legislation of a paternal character It is not ths fault, however, of the law that attempts are made to impose on ihe generosity or bounty of the public purse.—Spokane Spokesman-Review.
