Hence the continuance of the square rig In large vessels long after seamen knew that a schooner could head two points closer lo the wind than n ship, was speedier and more easily handled In all l>otlions except dead liefore the wind and was much cheaper to equip and maintain. Comlilnstlnn Ittua. For this last reason, however, the schooner rig was combined with the square when practicable. Small ships became barks, small barks he time liarkrnllnes. the brig evolved Into the hrlgentlne, which Is now adopting the heller features of the topsail schooner—and the original topsail schooner long ago atavistic-ally sent down her yards and relapsed into the parent type. Bui In spite of the advantage gained In apeed. convenience and economy, Ihe grad ual drift toward the schooner rig has been held in check by the undisputed necessity of dividing a large sail area Into part* small enough io lac handled, and, perhaps, also, by the one strong |*ilit of Ihe square rig-safety In running before a heavy gale and sea. Brigs and topsail schooners have about dlsapiM-ared: but ships, barks, bark enllnes and brigantines are still being launched; and II will so continue until ship owners and builders realise the su periority of the one craft yet designed which can cbmpete with a large ship In had weather Ihc- multi-masted schooner, with Its five, six or seven short masts supporting an aggregate sail area equal to that of a ship, and hut two stories high within roacn of the deck. This type of vessel can he hull! aa large as Ihe largest ship; II can be man aged by half the men required aboard tha more complicated square rigged craft; It can take to the high s-ea and keep It; It ran heat to windward in a sea that would throw a ship to leeward; It can go about —head lo wind- In a sea that would force a ship to wear; and It can wear, by mean* of Its numerous points of wind conlucA. nearly a* safely as can a ship. 1 say "nparly as safely," because the rig has a weak point which assert* Itself In wear ing; It Is. that the largest sail aboard la placed upon the mast fartheresl afl, a weakness which has bc*-ri peculiar to the schooner rig since the day wihen the large sloop drvekqied Into tha two-masted schooner Inst*ad of the evenly balanced and convenient yawl, which carries her hugest mast Just abaft, where a schoon er's foremast is placed, and. well aft, a small mast called the Jlggc rmast. That this trethe*! of betl.incliig foro-and- aft canvas Is the best known Is evidenced by ths fact that tender racing yachts adopt the rig In crossing the Atlantic. But the early builders of s hooncra, for some Inscrutable reason, per petuated the larg- mainsail; and when Ihe three-mast ed schooner was born. Instead of shift ing the twee masts forward and raising a third smaller mast aft, which would have abolished the weakness, they spirad them n|**rt and placed a mast between them of a length Intermedia's be'we n the two. still keeping th largest sail aft. and the fashion, having b n thus established, has been adhe:ed 10, even In the sparring of four, five and six masted vessels.

After the songs left these United State* they did not bother themselves with details, nor very much with rhyme. The name of a country shaped a sort of droning recita tive. the capital came after as a chorus thus— British America! British America! Klngs-ton! Klngs-ton!

Al! that remains of them ami their work Is a smattering of grotesque tradition, and snatches of sill! more grotesque rhyme. Yet behind the grotesquerlo there I* n shadow of something that may one day be worked out greatly lo the relief of a world's memory now sadly overtaxed. Dtt. IIFI.A I A K AMA DE AD.
