Search Lights versus Torpedo Boats.

1t is stated that one of the most effect
i've means of protecting ship in these
days of torpedoes (the grouping to-
gether of number of stationary search
lights, each illuminating its own section
so that the ship is surrounded by an I'M
broken circle of light, is to be adopted
in the new American warships. This
has been suggested by very pronounced
defect in the usual search light practice.
In order to afford sufficient time for a
careful examination of the waters sur
face at points removed from the ship,
the beam of light must be revolved very
slowly, and hence during great por-
ton of the time any particular section
of the water is left in darkness. AS it
takes only five minutes for torpedo
boat to run distance of two miles, it
will be seen that the conditions are all
in favor of the attacking force. Before
the revolution of the search light is COM
pleted there is plenty of time for the tor
pedo boat to run up and discharge her
deadly weapons.-New York Telegram.

Some Nigh mare Tales.

The Rev. John Campinus, Il Swedish
preacher who came to America in Feb
ruary, 1912, and landed at THE Rocks,
within the present limits of the city CT
Wilmington, Del, was either troubled
with the nightmare or was the worst liar
ever produced by the Scandinavian ma
ton. Below | give a few samples of his
able yarns:
''There is a kind of fly here which the
natives call 'cucuyo, and which in the
night time gives SO strong light that it
is sufficient when man is travelling to
show him the way. | have often trav-
eled the darkest nights with no torch
but one of these flies made fast to my
cap.
Further along, in his ''New Sweden"
the Rev. John says, There is here also
a serpent which has head like dog
and can bite off mans head as clear as
if it had been cut off with an AK
There is also serpent which has little
seeds in a pocket in his head, and by
wagging the same the rattle may be
heard 100 yards.
A species of crab which he mentions
had "a tail an ell long and made like a
three edged saw, with which he saws
down trees. st. Louis Republic.

Novel Application of Water Power.

A most interesting application of
water power to electric lighting and
heating purposes has been made at a
shooting lodge in the west highlands of
Scotland. A dam was built across a
small mountain burn some 800 feet above
the lodge. The water is led for some
distance past the dam in an open drain
to a point about $50 feet above a turbine,
to which it is conducted in closed pipe.
The waterfall thus made is the highest
that is used for electric lighting in the
British isles.
The current is conveyed from the tur-
bine house to the various buildings, the
lodge about 200 yards distant, the stables.
laundry and head staller's cottage. some
400 yards away, by means of insulated
conductors laid underground in tarred
wood troughing and completely pro-
tected by melted bitumen run into the
troughs. In all there are some POP cleo
trio lamps installed. A special feature
of the installation is a system of electric
stoves, which are used for warming and
keeping dry the cellars and various other
parts of the buildings York Tele-

Importance of Nice Gloves.

Many person goes out With shabby.
ripped, soi1ed gloves and tries to believe
that no one will notice. At one time
some very young ladies started the re-
mark that soiled light gloves were the
style. For time others followed what
they supposed was the fashion, but lost
self respect by so doing.
No woman is we'll dressed unless she
is we'll gloved and we'll shod. No mat
ter how fine the other raiment may be,
if soiled or ragged gloves are worn the
fine effect is ruined There was wom-
an on Washington street one day who
who wore black velvet dress and man
tie heavily trimmed with jet. There
were diamonds like headlights in her
ears. The black gloves We're ragged and
the color had worn off, her shoes were
down at the heel and most of the but
tons were gone. The two items of her
attire that should have marked the lady
were wanting.
Gloves are abused not only in the care
less wearing but in the way in which
they are kept. Pulling them off wrong
side out and leaving them SO or winding
them up i'll punches does not improve
them.
When the glove is taken off carefully
it should be pulled into shape, and if the
hands are inclined to moisture they
should be blown full of air and hung up
to dry for few minutes, then should be
put in a box. Evening gloves should be
put in tissue paper, suit gloves should be
worn only with the dress which they
match. -Indianapolis Journal.

FRANCES Alpine Chasseurs.

There is probably no more robust body
of men in the armies of the world than
Frances Alpine chasseurs. The raw
material of their organization comes
from the rugged mountaineer popula-
ton of the districts where they are sta
toned. This material is nodded and
hardened almost constantly, winter and
summer, by some of the most competent
military disciplinarians in the great
French officers corps. The result of
this happy combination is a force which
even German authorities in military
matters acknowledge would be able in
war to maintain the passes intrusted to
its defense against doubly strong forces
of Italians, Austrians or Germans
