A few hours later the one who had received it went to sea. and on the following day lost his life during a gale in the Channel. The surviving brother apparently came to the tardy conclusion that the chain letter had exercised some sinister influence, for within twenty-four hours of hearing of his brother’s death he was found mangled on the railway. The coroner’s jury returned a verdict of “Suicide while temporarily insane.” All chain letters are not intended to circulate a prayer in more or less dub- ious English. A number aim at “gird- ling the lo " with an idiotic motto or The absurd superstition of circulating the chain prayer originated in America and its effect on some people is deplor- able.

I hope you will not only heed the warning, but do your part to keep the chain growing.” The “warning” is as follows: “Please Many people receive anonymous let- ters that mystify them, says “Tit-bits". Often these command rather than ask that a prayer be written out nine times and sent on to nine friends, with a request that each of these shall be asked to copy the prayer and send it to nine other people, and so on. The ob- ject, it is stated, is to put a chain of prayer around the world. Recipients are assured that if this is done blessings of Providence will des- cend on those who circulate the prayer; but woe betide anybody who shall break the chain.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE The making of such model ships is' not only a tery clet 01 ar;t it serves a; useful purpose in industry. Most of the big shipyards, for example. maintain a model ship department where they build models of their new ships simul-‘ taneously with the giant hull on thei stocks. 1 The famous shipping companies think nothing of paying thousands of pounds for a model. Those attractive models you see in their office windows or dis- played in the tourist agency offices cost thousands of pounds. The companies look upon these little ships as a good investment. The beautiful lines of a model have a big appeal for intending travellers, and many berths are-b00921 were sent to every warship for use in training young sailors. “Spotting” the identity of these models was a. regular training course. The models were set out on a white cloth. and though they were built to a scale of fifty feet, to the inch. they were exact in all details. This miniature Victory, for instance. is to a scale of one-sixteenth of an inch to the foot. and has been painstaking- ly carved by a. man who has never been to sea. yet every detail is absolutely accurate. Experts say it is one of the most perfect model ships ever made. No wonder it has been heavily insured. 'Qwv ‘- vuuw v ' '__ e £4,000. The cost of course. depends on the amount of detail. But always the lines of the ship are faithfully repro- duced in the model.
