PERSIA does not occupy very prom.
inent position among the naval Powers
of the world. In fact, it will be news to
most people hat she possesses a navy at
all. She has, however, fleet, which
consists of one solitary ship, called the
Persepolis, and is now lying at anchor
in the port of Bombay, proudly flying
the flag of the Shah. For many years
the Persepolis was tramp steamer
famed for the extraordinary number of
mishaps which she had encountered.
But since the Persian Government has
acquired her and fitted her with guns
and with ram, which, being only inse.
curely fixed to her bow, has knack of
it's moorings and diving down
ward, she has become very powerful
and magnificent man of-war-that is to
say, in the eyes of patriotic Persians.

SPECIALISTS in the nervous diseases of
women, and doctors in general who have
an extended practice among the more
gay and wealthy classes in this country,
and especially in New York and the big
cities, are expressing much surprise at
the startling popularity that absinthe Is
acquiring. Girls scarcely out of board
ing school as sometimes slaves to ''the
absinthe habits" Women Of the gay
world are particularly given to its use.
It's woeful effects are soon seen. Indeed,
it is evident that those who succumb so
readily to it's seductive horrors do not
know what the fearful drug is that they
are taking into their systems.

The experiments of Lieut.. B. Baden
Powell with military kites have been
sufficiently encouraging to give interest
to the curious suggestion in aerial navi-
CATION made by him to the British AS
soclation for the Advancement of Sci
ence. He pointed out that the wind is
nearly always stronger at an elevation
than near the earth, often blowing at
1000 yards with three times it's velocity
Just above ground. He proposes TO take
advantage of this difference by connect
ing two kites by long line and sending
them up to different heights, the weight
carried being attached to the line near
the lower kite. The lower kite would
thus supply retarding medium to the
upper, the effect being the same in prin-
ciple as if the upper kite were held to
the earth by string and the lower kite
were lowed through the air by boy
running with the string IN his hand.
Both kites would be kept flying, although
not held to the earth by string in the
usual way, and it is quite possible that
they might be navigated considerably
out of the winds course.

enormous plates and cups and saucers
of the commonest china, heavy and
coarse, decorated with blue and in the
center bearing his initial with crown
and cross. The China of Alexander H.,
who was asSaesinated by the Nihilists,
was little better in quality, but of a
similar 'esign, only it bore the initial A
and an agile with outstretched wings.
That Of The present Gar is Of the same

The horse logged along after the wheel
with his head hanging dejectedly aud

degradation, but was too hopeless and

OLD JOSE is the busiest man in Ha-
vana these troublesome times. He goes
to Jail for the journalists when they
offend General Martinez Campos. While
the papers know the folly of ever giving
voice to any downright rebel sentiment,
they cannot help getting in ''sly dig"
now and then. Then comes an order
from the scourt. The editor never
thinks of going himself. He sends for
old Jose. If Jose isn't incarcerated at
the time, he promptly goes to the Judge,
says he is the owner of the paper and
wrote the articles in question and gets a
sentence of ten days. His invariable
charge for acting as substitute is 81 a
day.
