Established in 1897
THE STRAIT OF MESSINA.
And th« Anolent Legend* of Scylla and
Charybdla.
The Sicilian and Italian banks which
border the strait of Messina for nearly
twenty-five miles to the east and west
are among the most luxuriant to be
found In a cruise of the Mediterranean.
Magnificent golden groves of lemon
and orange and orchards of pomegran
ate, with their brilliant red fruit, con
trast wonderfully with the flowers of
the almond trees which perfume tho
whole region.
The strait i* entered from the Tyrrhe
nian sea, ou the north, at the narrow
est point, the distance between Punta
del Faro, on the Sicilian shore, and the
mainland lighthouse on Punta Pezzo
being not more than two miles. Hie
whole of the Caij.brlan coast is thickly
sown with villa^s, some clinging to
the beach, while others clamber up the
sides of well wooded hills which cul
r.lnate lji the towering Montalto, ris
ing to an elevation of more than a mile
above the sea. Beyond the strait to
the southwest looms ever threatening
Etna, the highest volcano In Europe.
The most Important city situated on
the strait is the once magnificent sea
port of Messina, which boasted a popu
lation of 150,000 inhabitants before
"the world's most cruel earthquake" of
Dec. 28, 1908, tossed nearly 100,000
lives away.
The harbor of Messina is the largest
and safest In the kingdom of Italy, j
with a depth of more than thirty fath
oms. Before the great calamity It was
visited annually by more than 5.0C0
vessels, which brought cargoes of
wheat, cotton, wool and hardware and
took away In exchange lemons, or
anges, almonds, wines, olive oil and
silks. Much of Its commerce was and
still Is carried on with the mainland of
the kingdom by means of a ferry line
to Villa San Giovanni, only four and a
half miles away, while Regglo, the
chief seaport on the Italian side of the
strait and also the chief earthquake
sufferer uext to Messina, Is ten miles
to the southeast. Ferryboats ply be
tween these points too. Scllla, Fare,
Catona, Fallaro, Scalllta and Galati are
minor towns on the shores of the strait.
Homer did not accord a definite habi
tation for his terrible sea creatures,
Scylla and Cliarybdis, but mariners fa
miliar with the perils of the rocks on
the Italian side of the strait and with
the strong eddies near the harbor of
Messina saw In the mythical monsters
an explanation of such dangers. Scylla
was supposed to be a horrible creature
with six heads and a dozen feet, who
barked like a dog. She dwelt in a
lofty cave, from which she rushed
whenever a ship tried to pass beneath,
and she would snatch the unlucky sea
men from the rigging or as they stood
at the helm endeavoring to guide tlieir
vessels through the j>erllous passage.
Charybdls dwelt under a rock only a
bowshot away, on the opposite shore.
The second creature sucked in and J
blew out sea water three, times a day,
and woe to the ship caught In the j
maelstrom of its mouth!
Poets who came after the great
Greek bard embroidered the legend tc
suit their fancy. Ovid, for example, i
described Scylla as the beautiful
daughter of a sea god who Incurred
tlio jealousy of one of the immortals I
and who was changed into a sea mon- J
ster. A second transformation made
her a rock perilous to navigators. Some j
poets described Charybdls as an old j
woman who seized and devoured the
cattle of Hercules, and in punishment
for this act the demigod's father, all
powerful Zeus, cast her Into the sea, j
where her appetite persisted, but her
tastes changed from cattle to ships and
seamen.—National Geographic Society
Bulletin.
After «n Electrio Shock.
An effective means of resuscitation
after an electric shock Is said to be a
sharp blow on the soles of the feet
without removing the shoes. In all
cases, however, It Is necessary to pull
the tonsfue from the throat, as the ac
tion of the current Is to cause a con
traction of the muscles, and the tongue
Is drawn back Into the throat com
pletely sealing the air passage. Part
of many first aid equipments consist
of a device which will grasp the tongue
and hold It In a distended position so
that the throat Is open to permit of
artificial respiration.
Rhode Island and Textiles.
The first cotton mill in the United
States was built In I'awtucket in Wash
ington's first administration. The mak
ing of textiles has become Rhode Is
land's first Industry. Some 00,000 per
sons work In it, and Its output is absut
50 per cent of the manufactured prod
ucts of the state, which, little as it Is,
is fourth in the making of cotton goods
and third in the making of woolens
and worsteds.
Ready to Believe It.
A person who had got some ilttl®
smattering of Eoo'ogical lore said one
day to a novice that crocodiles were
often seen in tears.
"Oh, that's nothing!" rejoined the
novice. "I've often myself seen whales'
blubber!"—Stray Stories.
Patronizing.
"Flubdub has such a patronizing!
manner."
"Yes, he can't pass a globe represent
ing the world without patting It"—•
Louisville Courier-Journal.
A Defiant Idiom.
"Ifs me," is an idiom, says a Har
vard professor, and is allowable. It U
allowable largely for the reason that
we haven't standing army enough to
suppress it—Houston Post
A glad heart seldom sighs, but a sor
rowful mouth often laughs.—Danish
Proverb.

Hob-nailed footwear for miners was the rule, too—until The B. F.
Goodrich Company made rubber boots and shoes with soles that Outwear
Steel. Miners everywhere are finding that they do not have
to half-sole these wonderful boots and shoes—"Hipress"
soles outwear the hobnails themselves.
These boots are MOLDED—just like the
famous Goodrich Automobile Tires—INTO
ONE SOLID PIECE. They can't peel, or crack,
or leak- "Hipress" is pure white in color and
has a "Red"One 'round the Top" to distinguish
it from all other footwear. Look for that "Red
Line" because only "Hipress" Boots and Shoes
' have soles that are tougHer than steel.
