WOMEN IN THE OFEssloNs.
The Great Increase In the United King
dom-Some Statistics.


The advance made by women in the
professions is strikingly brought out by
this new census paper. In the civil
service the number of women officers
and clerks had risen from less than g.
600 in 1871 to S,546 in the last census
year. In the local government of the
country, too, women are much more
freely employed. There was evidently
a return of women doctors in 1871; they
were awaiting their degrees, or had de-
grees which the census did not recog-
nize; in 1881 they were returned as 25
in number, but in 1891 they were 1O1 in
England and Wales. Women veterf-
nary surgeons appeared for the first
time in the census of 1891. There were
then two of them. Besides over $4,000
sick nurses, there are sS7 women en-
gagged in Subordinate medical service"
Under the somewhat comprehensive
heading of "author, editor, journalist"
we find geo women in 1891. as compared
with 452 ten years before and 255 in
1871. Women reporters were rare in
1851. Fifteen was the total number for
England and Wales, but in 1891 there
We're 127. In the arts the invasion of
the ladies is most conspicuous, In
1881 there were 1860 of their sex who
returned themselves as painters, en-
gravers or sculptors; in 1891 the num-
ber had risen to 3,O32. For the first
time in 1891 there were lady architects
on the census. They numbered 10.
Lady musicians and music mstresses
numbered over 10000 in 1891. They
were 1000 ten years before. Instead
of 1858 actresses, as in 1881, there were
in 1891 1906. In the commercial class
the increase of women workers is not
so striking, the apparently great aug
lnentation of commercial clerks being
explained by the transfer to this class
of hundreds previously described as ac-
countants.-London News.

SUPREME MOMENT IN LAUNCH
1t Is When the Vessel First Gets Into tho
Water.


Water.
That a launch is matter of mathe-
matics, as well as of great skill and la
Dor. is shown by the fact that the man
of science who has the matter in charge
always makes a set of ca alculations show
ing the strain on the ship and its pre-
else condition at practically every foot
of the journey down the ways. If Il
boat should get in the way, or if it
should take an unusual length of time
to knock out the keel-blocks, or if any
one of half dozen things should cause
serious delay, the scientific man knows
just how long he can wait and just how
far the limit of safety extends.
There IS always one supreme moment
in launch, and it is at a time that es
capes the average spectator. 1t is when
the vessel gets fairly well into the water.
This is when an important factorknown
as the moment of buoyancy comes into
play Ii you can imagine vessel slid
ing down an incline without any water
into which to drop, you can see that the
vessel would tip down suddenly at the
end which has left the ways, and would
rise at the end still on the incline. But
really, in successful launches, the stern
of the vessel is gradually lifted up by
the water, and this throws the weight
forward on that part of the ship still
resting On the ways. The force of the
water is called the moment of buoy
ancy,' and the natural tendency of the
ship to drop to the bottom of the stream
is called the moment of weight" Now
the moment of buoyancy must always
be greater than the moment of weight;
but it must not be very much greater,
for if it were it would throw too much
weight forward on the part of the ship
still on the ways, and might break them
down, or injure the plates or keel Of
the ship. When the great English
battleship Families was launched, this
did really happen; and so great was the
strain near the bow that parts of the
cradle were actually pushed right into
the bottom of the vessel. 1t is this dan
ger OF disaster that causes the scientific
lunncher to make the most careful cal
culations as to the conditions surround
ing the ship at every foot of her journey
into the water.-Frapk Matthews, In

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The chic

dom of labor from the thraldom Of
greed. Labor is now between the
devil and the deep sea" he continued.
Capital has monopolized the element
of production and labor is in competi-
ton with itself for the right to live.
The money oligarchy is fast wiping out
the last vestlge of individual liberty.

Mr.. Sovereign made some sugges-
tions as to the methods of strengthen

ure of the address was his appeal to
the general assembly to give to his
recent order ~boycotting national bank
notes its official sanction.
The address of General Worthy Fore
man Bishop also dealt with the attacks
made upon the Knights of Labor by
the revolving members, but contains
little of general importance beyond an
appeal for strongerlabor organizations.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Man Kills a Woman aud Child and Then
Himself.

LAREDO, Tex, Nov. IA man came
to q Laredo hotel Monday morning
with a middle-aged woman and an
s-year-old girl and registered as c.
Shuler and family, Of San Antonio.
The oma stated hat she and her
husband were from ST Louis and
more recently from Fort Worth, where
her son kept a hotel. Her husband
had a position in view, she said, with
a railway company in Monterey.
and they were to leave for that
city Tuesday afternoon. About 3
o'clock Tuesday the man procured
a horse and buggy, ostensibly to
drive his wife and child to the depot.
About 4:30 he returned the buggy and
proceeded to the hotel, ate supper and
retired to his room. Very early yes
terday morning a Mexican shepherd
discovered two bodies lying in some
brush about 3 miles northeast Of the
city. He Immediately notified the city
officials, who brought the remains to
the morgue. They were identified as
having been seen with Shuler.
When officers went to the Hotel
Shuler shot himself dead. He had I'm.
doubtedly murdered the woman ard
child. His real name is believed ~ be
William Kuntz and his home St Louis.

after the line had vanished, at 4
o'clock, he had an audience with the

was authorized by a syndicate of

The Clarks have accomplished what
has long been regarded as an imPoSd-

manufacturer Of lenses could be induced
TO attempt Thisi Is the making Of aper-

manufacturer ever thought of exceed

are In use at severgi observttores on

which Mr.. Hall discovered the long

The largest orange tree in the south
Is a gigantic specimen which grows out
of the rich soil In Terre Bonnie parish,
Louisiana. II is fifty feet high aud if
teen feet in circumference at the base.
Its yield has often been ten thousand
oranges per season.
The ''tallow tree Of China has a
pith from M inch to two feet in d.
ameter, according to thessize of the
tree, which is composed Of a greasy
wax. which Is so highly volatile that
it often catches fire spont aneously,
consuming the tree TO the very ends of
Its roots
The largest oak tree now left stand

which is seyenty-eight feet in circum-
ference at the ground. The oldest tree
in Britain Is parliamentary oak, I"
In Clipstone park, London, which Is
known to be fifteen hundred years old.
The largest apple tree in New York
state Is said to be one standing near
the town of Wilson. II was planted In
the year 1915, and 1t is on record that
II once yielded thirty-thr ee barrels OF
apples in a single season.
There are four hundred and thirteen
