LiShtneSS of the Defender

The Defender is without exception the
greatest innovation in the art of ship con-
struction af1oat. The use of aluminium
alloyed with per cent of copper in the
plating of vessels is no longer IL novelty,
the material having been employed upon
the hu!s of several torpedo boats recent
~ built on the Thames. The fact, how
ever, that this material has proved quite
as sensitive as steel to the corrosive action
Of salt water has induced the designers
OF the new yacht to plate her bottom with
manganese bronze, and to use an alloy Of
aluminium with a small percentage of
nickel in her plating above the water line
only. The new alloy is very elastic, re-
covering readily from strain of $4,000

LASSOING A BEAR,
An Incident of u Chase in the Rock,
Mountains.

An Incident of Chase in the Rocky
Mountains.
After an hours weary travelling down
the winding way we came out ON the
plain, and found Il small COW outfit be-
longing to Mr.. Stevens, and under q tree
lay our dead sllver-tip while half dozen
punchers squatted about it, 1t appeared
that three of them had been working I'D in
the foothills when they heard the dogs,
and shortly discovered the bear. Having
no guns, and being on fairly good ground,
they cooled their riatas and prepared to do
battle.
The silver-tip was badly blown, and
the three dogs which had stayed with
him We're SO tired that they sat up at Il
respectful distance and painted and loled.
The first rope went over Bruins head and
one paw. There lies the danger. But
instantly number two flew straight to the
mark, and the ponies surged while Bruin
stretched out with IL roar. A third rope
got his other hind ley and the puncher
dismounted and tied it to l, tree. The
roaring, biting, clawins mass of hair was
practically helpless, but to kill him was
an undertaking.
Why didn't you brand him and turn
him loose?" | asked the cowboy.
"Well,' said the puncher. in his Texan
drawl, I'VE could have branded him all
right, but we might have needed some
help in turning him loose
They pelted him with malpais, and
finally stuck a knife into Il vital part, and
then, loading him on IL pony, they brought
him ill., 1t was daring performance
but was regarded by the 'punchers' as a
great joke.-Harpers Magazine.

Many Changes.

brought radical changes in mems attire.
Nowadays the summer young man is
fearfully and wonderfully costumed, but
his dress on formal occasions is sim
plicity itself compared with what was
considered the proper thing few gen
erations ago. This is what graduate
of the University of North Carolina
wore to the commencement ball in the
year 1918: My coat was of broadcloth
of sea-green color, high velvet collar to
match, swallowtail, pockets outside with
lapels and large silver-plated buttons:
white satin damask vest, showing the
edge of Il blue under vest; wide open
ing for bosom ruf11es and no shirt collar.
The neck was dressed with layer of
four or five three-cornered cravats, ar
tistically laid, and surmounted with
cambria stock, plated and buckled be-
hind. My pantaloons were white Can
ton Grape, lined with pink muslin and
showing a peach blossom tint; stockings
were fesh-colored silk; low-cut pumps
with shiny buckles. My hair was very
black, very long and queued. I should
be taken for a lunatic or harlequin in
such a costume now.

FREDDIE'S TRAINED Tables

to do the most remarkable performances
The little felines who make up Fred
dies troupe are called Grim, Spit, Chuck
and Scat, queer but appropriate names,
don't you think? When this quartet of
furry actors line up before an impromptu
audience, you may better believe there
is fun in store for everyone. Among all
the amusing tricks which Grim, Spit,
Chuck and Scat have been taught to do,
nothing is more remarkable than their
playing on miniature fiddles, whitfield out
of cigar box covers. You can see by the
picture here given just how funny these
kittens look in their great orchestra act.
Freddie says that some day he will
teach his little wards to talk so that they
may make their wants known to him. It
would not be fair to say that Freddie can
never do this, for he has already accom-
plished more than anyone else has ever
done in the way of training cats If
Freddie ever does succeed in making his
tabbies speak in their quuer language the
Recorder, Jr., will be the first to tell
about the matter, and doubtless Freddie
will make fortune by exhibiting his cum
ming little troupe of trained felines. At
all events, let us hope for his success
