The greatest mistake youngmarried people can make is to live with the parents of•either,, after marriage. The first year of marriage is a year of adjustments. Young people, dur- ing an engagement, see each other at their best.

The masts are among the tallest in the world, and are twice the height of St. Paul's done.

He swam for hours, hopeless of saving his life,. but dauntlessly refus- ing to let himself give up. The icy waters chilled him to the bone. He was bruased and battered by floating debris. Again and again the waves broke over his head, or eddies sucked him under. But he swamon! kept afloat by his indomitable will -power 'and by his strength and prowess as a swimmer. At last ,after many hours, a rescue ship picked him up, more dead than alive. He recovered quickly from his hideous experience none the worse for it.

It was only in 1901 that the stupen- dous Britannia submarine mountain range was discovered by the cable ship Britannia in the Scuth Pacific. The Edward VII. range, too, in the North Atlantic, was unknown to oceanographers until comparatively lately, although some peaks rise to within 100 fathoms of the surface.
