GERM-PRooF BARBER SHOP.
Place in Baltimore Where Every
thing Is SteriIized Before Being

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 26.-On the
suggestion of a physician Of this city
Emily Cage has established an aseptic
barber shop here, the object being to
prevent the ravages of germs common
to shaving parlors. Sterilization IS
the basis of the plan, and the object
is that none but sterile objects shall
barber chairs. Thus are germs killed
by heat, and the shop becomes aseptic
free from living germs.
When a customer is to be shaved
he reclines in the chair and is en-
veloped in a gown" as the BARRIERS
call it. The barber then washes his
hands with soap and water and, after
rinsing them, dips them in a chemical
solution to neutralize any germs which
may be lurking about his finger tips
or nails. Previously he has trimmed
his nails short and has buttoned close
ly around his wrists the sleeves of his
working jacket.
Sterilized towels come from the dry
heat steriliZer in punches of ten in
linen cloth. One of. these is pulled out
from the bundle by the aseptic hands
of the barber and deftly tucked about
the neck Of the customer. Lather
rubbed up in a sterilized cup with a
sterilized brush, is applied, and a
the growth of beard.
The freshly shaved face is washed
and dried with sterilized towels, and
powder is applied by dipping a ster-
iliZed towel into the powder and then
busting it on the face. This does
away with germ-breeding powder
puff
Sterinzed brushes and combs are
used, so that nothing comes in contact
with the ~ 10
viously been through the sterilizer.
All the implements have aluminium
handles, SO that they are not affect
ed by heat. They are furnished In
numbers, so that as fast as one thing
is used it is forwarded to the ster-
ilizer, and does not touch another Gus
toner until its possible burden Of
germs has been removed
Back in the corner of the shop are
two copper sterilizers heated by cleo
tricity and in charge Of a young man
clad in spotless and sterilized aprAI.
AS the cups, brushes, razors and
combs come from use they are put on
marble-top table, from which they
go to the sterilizer. Each razor is
stropped before it is sterilized, so that
it is then in readiness for instant use
after remaining the specified time
within the hot precincts of the ster-
ilizer boiler
For hair cutting a sterilized gown
is used, and a strip of sterilized cot
ton is laid about the customers neck
within his collar
Another innovation in the shop is
the use of electrical annunciators.
In front of each of the twelve chairs
is a little box, in which is kept ster-
1l1zed shaving paper Metal checks
of various denominations hang on the
front of the box When the barber
has finished with a customer, he re-
moves a check of the desired amount.
In taking the check from it's hook
an electrical connection is made and
a bell sounds. At the same time a
number corresponding to that of the
chair just vacated drops upon the face
of an annunctator placed over the
cashiers desk. An electric foghorn
blows and gives notice to waiting GUS
toners, instead Of the familiar cry of
next"

diana could not have finer mark
on which to train her t11irteen-inch
guns than the massive hull Of the
Pelayo. In close quarter fight, which
the commander of the Indiana would
naturally seek, not shot from the In
dianas guns could go astraY, while the
guns of the Spanish boat would have to
be depressed to Oh awkward angle in
order to reach the hull Of the United
States vessel.
I'm the matter Of speed the vessels
are evenly matched. both being able to
steam sixteen knots an hour, so that
neither would have the advantage OF
greater speed in maneuverlng, but the
unwieldy Pelayo, with her enormous
bulk above the water line. would be
play-thing in the hands Of the Indiana,
which can be worked with an ease
that will enable her to bring her
tremendous ram in close proximity to
the Pelayo's side before the latter has
recovered from the first crushing
broadside.
1.-THE United States ship would have
the immense advantage of being the
aggressor from start to finish of the
fight. while the Spanish boat would be
on the defensive, with nothing but her
arnor to save her from being crushed
and sent to the bottom. How long this
arnor would enable her to keep the
flag flying while replying to the In
Ciana's broadside with her compare
tivelv feeble batteries, is matter that
can be easily figured out by those who
have seen the effect of thirteen-inch
shells on steel belts. 1t has only to be
borne in mind that the Indiana can

WILHELM'S ODD DREAM.
Emperor of Germany Thinks He Is
King of England.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-That Great
Britain may become a republic in a
very few years is quite within the
bounds of probability A master hand
at mischief is already tangling nation
al affairs until it looks as though only
the intervention of a republic could
unravel them.
1t is rather curious to outsiders and
wholly unpleasant to the queen to-
know that the German emperor re-
CARDS himself as the rightful successort
to England's throne. This is a mat1
ter rarely spoken of, though perfectly
we'll realized at court, and it is a.
strenuous reason against her majes- /
tvs ever Indicating in favor of the
Prince of Wales. So when next YOU
hear that she meditates such a step,
do not believe it. She is safe to do
nothing of the kind. though she live
to 100 years. The erratic German
emperor bases his claim on the not
unnatural assumption that his moth
er, born princess royal and eldest
child of Queen Victoria is heir to that
mothers crown, and he her immediate
successor.
1t is said that the kaiser is wildly
indignant because his mother will not
press her claim and take her rightful
place as the future sovereign of Eng !
land. That the Prince of Wales is not
the Prince of Wales, but that the kai4
ser is that as we'll as emperor of Ger
many he has fully decided in his
own mind. When the time comes for
his contention, it is scarcely probable
that he will hold his peace. OF course
it is not for a moment to be supposed
that England would endure Wilhelm
for its king. But the case is a knotty
one upon which even tie constitutional
lawyers cannot agree
While the queen remains SOVEREIGN
this family unpleasantness is not like
ly to arise. but, when she abdicates or
dies, there is pretty sure to be an
uncomfortable time for all parties con-
cerned. Still, the English are certain
to reject the kaiser, even though Eng
land has to resolve itself into a re-
public, and then choose Albert Edward
to be its ruler. Quite as strange things
as this have happened in the history
of the world. and may chance again.
In spite of rumOrs, and raillery of the
press in by-gone times, the Prince of
| Wales is well liked in the United
Kingdom. Besides calculated q.

ing the probable outcome of a strug-
gle in which Uncle Sans battleships
could be matched, gun for gun, with
the navy of Spain. There can only be
one prediction regarding the outcome.
Spain would be overmatched so easily
that. in a very short time after the
first shot had been fired, her vessels
wOuld either be at the bottom of the
sea. or scuttling back to seek the pro
lection of the nearest fort. 1t Is not
necessary to describe the probable out
come of a fight between the combined
ships of the American and Spanish
nayies 1t is enough to take the crack
vessels of Spain and Of the United
States and pit them against each other
in a single combat to the death.
The finest ship in the Spanish navy
&c undoubtedly the Pelayo, steel Dat
+laship built in France. She would ma
q foeman worthy of her powder ana
shot in the crack United States bat
+Ieshin Indiana. A naval expert, 10
whom was submitted the question OIL
the probable outcome of fight between
these two formidable fighting machlhes'
has. after careful considerations slFeH
his decision as follows:
"Only by hauling down her nag WIFI
in a. very short time after the opening
of the engagement could the Pelayo
hnne to save herself from being sent
To the bottom Of the sea under the Ter
rife broadside that would be prought
to bear upon her from the powerful
batteries of the Indiana. The
doomed Pelayo would have to
face q storm Of shot and shell fired
from four thirteen-inch, eight eight
inch and four six-inch breechloading
rifles. which constitute the main bat
terry of the Indiana. When not stag
gering under the crash of this enor-
NOUS mass of metal she would be pat
tered and hammered by the twenty-slH-
FOUNDER guns of the secondary pat
terry, while the men composing her
crew would be shot down by the dead
" hail poured>in from six one-pound-
er rapid fire guns and four gatlings.
True, the Pelayo is protected by an
armor belt seventeen and three-quarter
inches thick, or only onequarter OF an
inch thinner than the armor OF the
Indiana, but this will avail her little.
The Pelayo's weakness in a contest OF
this kind would be that, although prac-
tically the same size as the Indiana,
she can throw only two-thirds as much
metal in one discharge of her forty-eight
ton and thirty-eight ton breech-load-
ing rifles.
1.-The contest would be a brief one
for another reason. The Pelayo is a
plug-ugly looking fighting craft, and
very terrible so far as appearances go,
but appearances in her case are worse
than deceiving. Her very ugliness is a
source of weakness, for it is due chief
1y to the fact that she looms big and
high out of the water, seeming to be q
great deal heavier and more terrible
than the low-lying Indiana. The In
