FEET AND CHARACTER.
What the Pedal Extremities Reveal to
One Who knows.

o'e w nv AhhpWot
Tbs person who had his character
read by the palmist must now go to the
first cousin of the chiropodist in order
10 learn whether the markings on the
foot agree with the representations of
the hand.
According to the adopts, small I'M
step denotes religious temperament,
while if it is high it suggests self con-
seriousness. If arched, it indicates love
of luxury, while if it is thin in addi-
tion it not only demonstrates the desire
for apprc baton and applause, but the
possession of honor and lofty ideals. A
thick, heavy instep, which the boot
maker would describe as rather high, is
the mark of the individual who is ca
pable of great exertion continued over a
long time, the instep, in fact, of the
worker
The heel is another Of the great dag
nostic points If it is smooth and round
and without any prominent outlines, it
declares the individual to belong TO that
commonplace order which never achieves
distinction and who, though pleasant
enough in his or her way to live with,
is yet devoid of any special talent. If it
IS small, it shows that the owner is Ca
pable of going heart and soul into any
work that he undertakes.
Long toes suggest artistic capacity,
just as do long fingers Of a certain
shape, while short toes indicate selfish
ness. If they are crooked as well as
long, they demonstrate the possession of
good common sense and no little bust
ness capacity, while toes separated by a
distinct interval, in spite of the COM
preston in which fashionable boots COM
pei them, are indicative of emotion. If
they curve downward, they indicate an
amiable turn Of mind, and different por-
lions of them denote different character
istics as do the so called mountains
and valleys" Oh the palm.
In addition to all these characteristics
the markings on the sole must be care
fully considered, for they may modify
certain other peculiarities. 1t is impos-
sible. however, to lay down any laws OF
self guidance in these minutiR, but the
broad facts will no doubt furnish suf-
fcient stimulus for farther investiga-
ton at the hands of the wise women OF
the world, for they must be indeed wise
who can read, as in an open book, char
acter which may be formed by the con-
strictions of fashionable boot.
Whatever else may be done, howev-
er, it is safe to say that great toes
which are pressed out of the straight
line, and which are therefore in hide
Gus contrast with the beautiful feet OF
Trilby, bespeak an egregious vanity in
their possessor and proclaim belief IL
tho proverb which states that "to be
beautiful one must suffer. This, how
ever, was the old fashioned idea, which
it is hoped the vogue of Mr. du Mau
rier's heroine will have done grea
| deal to counterfeit. - Philadelphia;

NAVAL GUNNERY.
Kind of Warfare Into Which Luck En-
ters as an Important Element.


The degree of accuracy attainable i'm
modern naval gunnery in actual warfare
Is something yet to be determined. With
the exception of the battle of the YaIu
during the Chino-Japanese war there had
been no opportunity for finding out what
might be accomplished at long range by a
modern gun mounted on SO unstable a
platform as the deck Of rolling vessel.
and the value of the Yalu fight as an OBJ
ject lesson in this respect was impaired bv
the relatively unskilled character of the
gunners. Certain it Is that while death
and destruction were metcd out all around
in that encounter an enormous amount
OF ammunition was used up in the work.
The bombar'lmcnt of Alexandria by the
British fleet in the early eighties afforded
none of the conditions of sea fight since
the vessels We're at anchor i'm practically
smooth water and their target certainly
was immovahle enough, and even there
tho expenditure of powder and shell was
out OF all proportion to damage inflicted
The point has recently been made, how
ever, that, after all, it is astonishing that
ship is ever struck by a projectile from
a gun and that there is probably moro
luck than cunning in the art of modern
nav W tAA AtiN' III % lcCl Nv INC OllteU
States Naval War college at Newport Pro
fessor Alger n short time ago stated, for
example, that at a convenient fighting dis
lance, say 1900 yards, modern battle
ship like the Indiana of the United States
navy appears to be of the same size as
picture of her-cight-tenths Of an inch
long, held at the point of clear vision,
about II inches from the eye-whilc the
outlines of the real ship will be much less
clear and distinct than those of the pic
ture. The height would, of course, APP
pear TO be still less, SO that the difficulty
of hitting such target, even with the
ship at rest and the gun in fort, instead
of both moving more or less rapidly, can
be appreciated at least to some extent.
The element of luck truly must enter
largely into effective fire under such con.

The Barometer.

That tho barometer should be so impor-
tant factor in indicating meteorological
conditions is 60 many an unsolyable mys-
terry There should, however, be no diff
Guilty in understanding that the simple
principle underlying the construction is
that the free and unfettered air balances a
column of mercury varying in height, &c.
cording TO the circumstances of the mo-
ment, whose average elevation at the level
of the sea is 30 inches. 1t is known, be-
cause directly ascertainable, that 80 cubic
inches of mercury weigh close upon 10
pounds avoirdupois, and therefore, as com
monty expressed the pressure of the at
mosphere is, under normal conditions, 10
pounds on every square inch-equivalent
to nearly ton on "a square foot, more than
50 tons on square yard and of 100 tons
on square of 10H feet side. Scientific
calculation also places the aggregate
weight of the atmospheric envelope sur
rounding the world at about 5000, 600,
600, 900 of TONS and this may be represent
ed as the weight of IA solid lcaden ball hav'
ing diameter of 90 miles. Such figures.
says writer in Longman' Magazine, are
really beyond human comprehension.

Electric Protection of Safes.

The latest idea for the protection Of
money and valuables is to have the
safe which contains them secured in
side cabinet. Where the safe is kept
in a vault the vault serves the purposes
of a cabinet. In either case an electric
lining is used, consisting of strips of
metal mounted in connection with thin
metal sheets so arranged that even
pin thrust through the cabinet and pen
etrating the lining will sound the alarm.
The door of the vault cannot be opened,
nor can the curtain of the cabinet be
raised, until time lock has disconnect-
ed it from the alarm system. In order
that the alarm box may be proof against
molestation it is made of steel and
placed within hood lined in the same
way as the cabinet. Any attempt at
tampering will cause an alarm to be
sounded, as in the case of the cabinet.
The door is held closed by heavy lag
bolts, the partial removal OF any OF
which will give warning signal.
There are several of these lag bolts, and
before tie door can be opened they have
all to be removed, which requires con
siderable length of time.
