CARE OF TAN SHOES.
How tho Ingenious Bootblack stin Earns

When tan shoes became fashionable
three or four years ago the bootblack
stood aghast. Some of them turned
pale, says the Washington Post, but
most Of them did not because nature
debarred them from that manifesto
ton Of apprehension. As man after
man passed their stands With his foet
shod in coverings that did not adrait

that their race was run.
The ragamutiin who mn;es his liv-

hard to down. When the second sea-
son of tan shoes came around a new
method of polishing had been devised.
II has been amplified until it has be-
come a science.
AS at present practiced by the high
priests of the art it requires first
thorough rubbing with a damp rag;
then the application of half lemon;
then some mysterious unguent that is
put on with the ball of the thumb, and
lastly a brown polish invented gsue-
cially for the occasion. This latter is
brushed with a piece of canton flan-
mel. No well-educated and self-resFcct.

himself wearing pair of new russets,

these islands without proper
passport. The fact of the matter,
as Deputy McStocker explained it
today, il, that the customs au-
thorities have nothing further to
do with the departure of a person
from these shores except demand
ing that no tickets be issued ex-
cepting to those holding passports.
The police department has in it's
power the surveillance of the de-
parture of all people from these
shores not holding such passports.
The instructions from the GUS
toms bureau to the steamship
companies is that all persons pro-
curing tickets must have pass
ports but there are stowaways for
all that can be helped.

There is a fine touch of French satire
in the remark of an officer at Paris that
II was necessary to have a civilian for
minister of naval affairs before essential
improvements could be made in the
hnildino OF war vessels Certain it is
chat the changes ordered by the French
uinister of marine %aiairs. Loekroy, who
ia Victor Hugo's son.in-law, promise to
work a revolution in naval architecture.
Judging by experiments made at lou
Ian by Trench naval officers, our own
rongress will do We'll to 90 slow in or
dering moro huge warships, or even
heavy ard bulky harbor defenders. The
experiments 1t foulon show convincing
~ that u great nunhsr Of small vessels,
travelling at the highest speed aud each
srmed with as large Il rapid firing gun
as it can carry, is the fighting navy Of
the future. AS the French officer ez-
presses it, here is the problem "To
place the most powerful ri1ed gun pos
sihle upon the smallest possible vessel,
the gun firing with full power projec-
tiles carrying large quantities Of high
explosives, and the vessel being of such
small size as to be sighted or struck by
the enemy with great MISUNDERSTANDING,
in short, a floating gun carriage"
Six such vessels will cost no more
than one Of the heavy, slow craft of tho
old type, and they will be more than
twice as effective.
This is the type Of warship to which
American naval architects now appar-
emily need to turn their attention. The
main difficulty will be to make the
floating gun carriage" which is to be
the warship Of the future. stable enough
to permit the gun itself to be aimed
with accuracy.
This, the French believe, they have
succeeded in doing. They consider tha
new type Of vessel to be the best for
coast defense Of any ever invented.
