dustry in Germany is very noteworthy, New shipyards are being erected, old ones enlarged, and the majority or them appear to be we'll occupied. Ac- cording to the latest statistics, which date from the beginning of the year, there were in course of construction in German shipyards an aggregate of 215 vessels, of which 175 were steamers, Is sailing vessels, 30 lighters, etc., and the rest smaller craft. Of these vessels, 25O were of steel, 20 of wood and ? of iron. There is a tendency on the part of the authorities, naval and otherwise, to build within the country what can pos sibly be built there, and private con- tractors follow the example. Of the vessels referred to, A steamers and 6 sailing vessels were intended for the transatlantic traffic. The dimensions of the vessels become greater every year. There were no less than seven steamers in course of construction of more than 10000 tons. Between 5000 and 10000 registered tons there were five, of 2,0o0 to 5000 tons eleven. An other important feature is the rapidly increasing number of fishing steamers, about thirty being in course of con- struction at the beginning of the year While several German owners have had vessels built for them abroad, score of vessels have been built in Germany for foreign account, the Brazilian, the Roumanian and other governments be- ing among the purchasers.

THE TEXTILE SCHOOL AT LOWELL.
 Germany's trade schools have done much for German trade and the idea that similar schools will be found use- here There is textile school at Low ell, Massachusetts, which is said to be the completeness, variety and excellent arrangement of it's equipment. The looms at this school include representa- tive machines from nearly all Ameri- can loom makers, and comprise besides wool goods, many for special work. such as jacquard, carpet, leno, lappet and other masterpieces of weaving ma chinery. So complete is the cotton spinning equipment that it is possible to take a bale of cotton and convert it into yarn without it's leaving the school for any purpose. The machinery is all of the most approved modern type, the motive power being electricity. A chemistry and dyeing section is one of the most important features of the es- tablishment.
 The course of instruction is divided into four sections: Cotton manufac- turing. woolen manufacturing, design ing and dyeing. Both day and evening classes are held, the latter for the con- venience of those employed by day ir the mills. In the day classes the courses overlap to some extent, a stu dent in any one branch attaining suffi l cient knowledge of other branches SC | far as they appertain to his own sec | tion, but the work is specialized so that

CAN VIE WATT FOR 4 HERCULES9 ?
 Is our old friend pr. Dibble in town? If he is we invite his attention to ma- terial for an appendix to his celebrated book wherein he shows that sewer gas is sanitary and that death-dealing bac- teria are angels of health This ma terial is all over our streets, and in some places Is four or five inches thick. If the approved theories are what they are thought to be by those who ap- prove them the population of New Haven ought to be decimated by ty- phoid fever, diphtheria, dysentery, and other decimating diseases. Goodness knows that we are all sick enough, but we really ought to be sicker, according to the books of other doctors than Dr. Dibble.
 If pr. Dibble is not in the diggings, and if he is not likely to come here soon and view the wondrous refutation of sanitary theories which is almost ankle deep on Orange and other streets, we really do not think the stuff should | be left there much longer. It is un- | pleasant to walk or ride in, and 1t is | insufferably and vulgarly dirty for a
 university city which has a Chamber of Commerce, pan-American trade and
 great conventions. And another thing If no attack is made on it now the
 work of removing it will soon be like | that stable work of Hercules. And we

The Peculiar Freak of Lone Flash in

 Yesterday afternoon there was lone flash of lighting and an accompanying clap of thunder, and then the rainstorm which was threatening blew over. But the lighting had made a record for it. self which will remain. It went into the photographing business without the aid of any apparatus except an object to be photographed and piece of sugar candy for a receiving plate.
 In the candy store of MT. Tonsmeire on lower Dauphin street was the candy that the lightning chose to operate upon. The candy was of sugar and glucose brown in color, and transparent. It lay on slab on table in the midst of the store. The article photographed was the wrapper of small American flags, then lying imbedded in some melted candy on the floor of the store, in front, of the table. but not in line of view of the candy on the table.

There's much in a name. Convey, the wise 1t call,' said Shakespeare. Borrow" our local wise men call 1t. The latest municipal financiering scheme Is to borrow some money from the famous sinking fund that has successfully resisted one well-planned attack upon it.
 When a man has two pockets, and when he puts in one of those pockets money to be devoted to the buying of flannel shirts for hot heather, or to the buying of sealskin sack for his below ed wife, or to some other holy work doth that man do wisely when he "bor- rows" from the sacred funds to buy himself cigars or toddy? And doth the man who so "borrows' usually make the sinking fund good before the con- tribution box comes around, or before his wife gets ready for her sealskin sack?
 Is a sinking fund.- something to be "borrowed" from and then made good by more borrowing, if it is made good at all?

wrapper was an inscription in con- denensed gothic type, reading National Flags" This inscription, beginning with the fourth letter of the first word and part of the third letter, just so much of the lettering as was visible on the wrapper as 1t lay crumpled in the midst of the sticky stuff on the floor, was taken by the lightning and trans ferred to piece of the candy on the table; not transferred simply, but inn bedded in it, beneath the surface the smallest traction of an inch. It was a perfect reproduction, and perfectly black, inserted face front just as in the original, and not reverse as would be the order of the letters if any one should attempt to transfer them by ap- plying the wrapper to the surface of the candy.
 MT. Sylvester D. Fosdick brought the candy to this office last night for in spection. He says that as soon as the flash of lightning came and vanished, MT. Tensmere observed the printing on the candy that was before him on the slab, and exclaimed in astonishment at the sight, the candy being of his own manufacture and having had no sort or mark upon it. In the search for clue to the sudden and mysterious appear ance, the paper wrapper was discover ed on the floor with those letters ex- posed which appeared on the candy Mr. Fosdick says that there is mirror in front of the table that possibly had something to do with the photographine since the mirror is in line with the loca- ton of the wrapper; but this does moi explain anything; rather does 1t serve to deepen the mystery.-Mobile Daily icfo

 A novel fall hat is that put here by the artist. It was sketched in white felt, the wide brin stitched at regular intervals with red silk. Two spreading bows of accordeon pleated white ribbon dotted with red, four large white plumes and bunch of red cherries trimmed it in front, a red ribbon bow coming in back.
 And so we are to give up dotted wells and take to fine nets without dots. But will women do this just because the new wells" are reported dotless? Dots ruin the eyes, spoil the complexion, are expensive, don't wear we'll we are tired of the same old fashion-oh there are lots of reasons for changing, but there is little prospect of any such revolution. At the same time many women who while the condemned bang was growing out had to wear veil, are now appear ing with faces unshrouded, and very pretty the brown cheeks look, too. Not to change the style of veils, but to do without them altogether seems a good idea
 But if veil is to be worn, here are some necessary pointers. With a sail or hat the veil should be shirred about the upper edge and tied at the foot of the band right around the hat The other edge should hang free and the veil should be single width. With a small hat, gauge should be worn, and it should bag loosely over the face, being drawn in under the chin. With big brim hat the veil may either hang free at the lower edge, it may be drawn close under the chin, a little shirring al the upper edge assisting the fall of the folds, or 1t may be shirred all around top and bottom and mask the face in 8 series of soft rolls.

Russia has two commissioners at work in the great wheat growing States of the West studying the meth ods and implements of American agri- culture with a view to introducing them in their own country. The result of this official inquiry will probably be a still larger use of American farm ma chinery in Russia, where it already en- joys high favor, and a consequent bene- fit to manufacturing enterprise in this country.

MAKES A MYSTERY OF IT.
Chief Steele Comes Into Possession of
Checks in Peculiar Manner.

Sometime Thursday night a memo
randum book, three meal tickets and
two checks aggregating $274, were found
near the corner of Seventh and Van
Buren, streets.
The lost articles are now in the pos
session of Chief of Police Steele await
ing Identification. There is something
peculiar about the affair. Chief Steele
says that no one has notified him of the
loss and he thinks there will be interest
ing developments. One of the checks,
which was enclosed between the leaves
of the book, was drawn on a Kansas
City bank for $27O.The other was drawn
on a Topeka bank for something over
81, both in favor of the same person
the owner of the memorandum book.
Chief Steele will not give out the name
of the owner, but he says that he knows
of him. The three meal tickets were is
sued from Topeka restaurants and were
but partially cancelled.
Chief Steele gained possession of the
book yesterday morning in a peculiar
way and he refuses to give out any in
formation other than the above. It is
more than probable that the person
who lost the book is not particularly
anxious to make his identity known.
The checks are drawn in form of an
order so that they are useless unless
signed by him.

WOMEN MAY JOIN MILITIA.
sweethearts, Wives and Mothers May
Go With Their Beloved.

Denver, Col, April 1O.-The new militia
law known as house bill No. 323, by
Rohde passed by the house and senate,
introduces one of the most startling rev
oIutiorls in modern warfare that has been
adopted by any civilized nation, for un-
der its provisions the Colorado National
guard may in future be composed OF both
men ana women.
Colorado, always foremost in adopting,
advanced ideas, has capped the climax
after permitting women to vote, abolish
ing capital punishment and allowing Wo-
men to serve on juries. by passing a law
which will enable them in the future to
participate trz actual warfare, side by side
with man, her natural protector. In en-
acting such a law Colorado has done that
which accomplishes the widest desire of
the advanced woman.
The bill has not been signed by the gov
ernor, but there is little doubt that 1t will
be signed. Should women, however, en-
list under the new law, a change in the
styIe of uniforms that have heretofore
been furnished the national guard in Col
orado viii be necessary, but this is a
problem which can easily be solved.
