SHIELDS FOR WARSHlPS.
Most Graceful Devices Ever Displayed on
Such Vessels.


The artistic work of the navy depart
ment in designing shields for the bows
of the new aTships has produced some
Of the most graceful devices ever dis
played upon modern ships of war. All
the new ships now are decorated on
their gangways with highly artistic
scrollwork, sometimes bee stltnlly
carved in solid oak, but more frequent
" in brass. These are the designs of an
expert in the construction bureau at
Washington and display talent OF high
order.
In the wardrooms and cabins are SIM
liar carvings, emblematic of the state or
city from which the vessel takes her
name. On all the new ships of the navy
the American shield has displaced as
figurehead the designs carried on the
older vessels. This is carved out OF solid
brass. with the stars and stripes and
the shield proper fitted close around the
slender bow, while scrollwork extends
( backward on either side for distance
of four or five feet. The New York, TIT
| Minneapolis and the Philadelphia have
possibly the most elaborate designs

The Discovery of Ether.

The true Columbus of the ether was
Thomas Young. His discovery was con-
summated in the early days of the present
century, when he brought forward the hrst
conclusive proofs of the unduiatory theory
of light. To say that light consists OF I'M
dulatiops is TO postulate something which
undulates, and this something could no.
be air, for air exists only in inhnitesim@
quantity, If at all, in the interstellar spaces
through which light freely penetrates'
But. il not air, what thenS Why, clearly,
something more intangible than air, some
thing supersensible, eyading all direct ell
forts to detect 1t, yet existing everywhere
in seemingly vacant space, and also inter
ponetrating the substance of all transpar'
emit liquids and solids, II not, indeed, of all
tangible substances. This intangible some
thing Young rechristened the luminiier'

labor adjustments have been achieved
without strikes, as rule, and when
