There was excitement over the
alleged assault ola young woman
at Chickamauga Park and an in
furiated mob searched for a man
with fred hair, dropping sandy
moustche and mild blue eyes"who
it was supposed was the brute
who had left his victim in an or
chard near her fathers house in
an unconscious condition with her
eyes nearly gouged out. This
man was not found and conse-
quently no lynching. 1t has since
developed that the young woman
had been mercilessly beaten and
left unconscious by her mother,
who had become enraged to find
that she had some time before fal.
len from virture.

Children in the Sea.

In the Hawaiian Islands it is considered
walk. Indeed most little Hawaiians can
swim before they can walk.
The manner of teaching them the art
of natation is very simple. The parents
go down to the seashore and throw the
tiny things into the water; not into the
water of the ocean, where the surf is al
ways strong, but into the briny stiffness
of some inlet, or lagoon. AS rule the
babies swim at once, showing that the
human animal is as well provided as any
other with the natural instinct of self
preservation If the infant be too tiny
or too feeble to swim the parents, much
chagrined, dive after it and take it home,
hoping for better luck next time.
Among the Anglo-Saxons all children
love to wade or paddle by the seashore,
but some of them make q decided fuss
when expected to regularly go bathing
A mother who had a weak and timid boy
of three, for whom daily sea bath was
recommended, settled the matter skillful-
ly. At the sight of the big, cool ocean
the boy was SO frightened that it had q
bad effect on his nerves. The mother was

brought to the beach and filled with sea
water. There, except for the fact that
he had on a tiny bathing suit, he was
tubbed by the purse just as if he had
been at home. After few days he con-
ceived precocious idea that it would
worry his mother (who took good care to
be Ill the water ready for him) if he
should jump out of his tub and follow
her into the ocean. OF course he carried
his idea into execution, exactly as she
had hoped he would, and her object was
achieved without nervousness or worry.

The Sistine Madonna.

1t is interesting to watch the attitude
and the expressions on the faces of the
multitudes of people who go to see, the
Sitsine Madonna of Raphael at the great
art gallery in Dresden. 1t is perhaps the
highest example of human art. 1t repre-.
sents the Holy Virgin with the Child in
her arms appearing to Saint Sixus and
Saint Barbara, with two cherubs looking
over the balcony beneath. Half the
tourists who visit Dresden go there sim.
ply to see this picture. 1t brings hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars to the city
every year. 1t occupies a room in dis.
tant corner Of the royal gallery, without
anything else to distract the attention,
and seats have been placed around the
walls for the benefit of those who desire
to study it. Some stand rapt; others

were living being; some kneel and
cross themselves, while oGhers coolly in.

A carrier pigeon brought into the port
of Hammerfest by whaling ship, seems
to be one of those taken on the polar
journey by Nansen. The message on the
bird was dated. about noon of July 10, and
reported all well and a good voyage east
ward. The latitude and longitude given
shows that in the two days since Nansen
had left the Island of Fumsoe he had gone
one hundred and fifty miles towards the
pole. This would still leave him con-
siderable distance from the pole; and in

Public attention has of late been spec-
tally directed to the matter of dry docks
and the lack Of them in this country
has been dwelt upon. An opinion on this
subject by such recognized authority
as the Army and Navy Journal is entitled
to corresponding consideration. While
eight or ten years are required for build
ing stone or cement dry dock. it main
tains that a timber dock properly con-
struoted will answer every requirement at
much less expense. 1t is pointed out that
the timber dry docks Of su fficient size to
receive our battleships can be constructed
in twenty four months, at one-fourth
what it would cost for stone. The cost of
operating and maintenance is greatly in
favor of the timber structure. For the
timber structure it Is claimed that it
gives superior facilities for snoring and
repairing vessels, better distribution of
light and air, and owing to the greater
slope of the sides and low narrow steps,
which are impracticable In other than
timber construction, furnishes safe and
easy means of access for work. men from
any point above to the floor of the dock

One Thesis for Two Degrees.


NCdn FThuClSCO OuEOHlolosJ
A husband and wife getting two sepa-
rate and individual degrees as doctors OF
philosophy on one single and undivided
thesis is as novel a proposition as the
Berkeley young man who attends college
Rotations through his wife as proxy
and absorbs knowledge through propin-
guilty.
Prof. and Mrs. Inskeep are we'll known
in East Oakland, where the husband was
formerly professor in the California
College, Baptist institution, and the
wife has resided there since childhood.
Before her marriage she was Miss Anna
Dolman. Prof. Inskeep coached Miss
Dolman in Latin for the admission exam
nations of the State University. Miss
Dolman had been teacher for several
years, but her ambitions were for the
higher education. Her marriage to Prof.
Inskeep followed almost Immediately
upon her graduation.
For the last two years the two have
been at the University of Chicago, study
ing for a doctors degree in philosophy.
This summer they returned to Oakland
on visit, and have just returned to Chi
cago. While in California the married
students were busily engaged upon q
joint thesis, which is now finished. No
body knows quite how this thesis is to be
signed, whether "Inskeep and Inskeep'
or "Inskeep and wife" but upon the
joint product of their labor, the commu-
nifty property of their brains, as it were,
they expect to receive not one, but two
degrees. In other words, they will di-
vide the thesis as Solomon suggested d.
vlding the disputed infant, but the de-
grees are to be twain. There will be no
dispute as to which of the Inskeep family
will be doctor of philosophy. They will
be both or neither.
1t seems little as though somebody
was getting something for nothing, but
the friends of the family say they have
faithfully divided the labor.
Under the old idea, a thesis was some
thing the writer was prepared to hold
and defend against all Corners. The In
sleeps have decided that theirs is unit
ed-we-s stand divided proposition.
They will hold the fort together. Both
of them, of course, must be prepared to
stand an examination on any point in
the thesis. This they are prepared to do.
After finishing the thesis their ways part.
So far they are man and wife When
it comes to passing examinations and
receiving the crown that Is supposed to
accompany the cross they become two in
dividuals again.
The amusing part OF it would be if one
should receive degree and the other fail
ON this Siamese twin of thesis.

The old Constitution was due to arrive
in Boston yesterday, from Kittery Navy
Yard. Boston is the place of her launch
ing, she having glided off the ways there
one hundred years ago this week. 1t was
several years after33her launching, in 1901,
in fact, that Commodore Preble went in
the Constitution to chastize the Bashaw
of Tripoli. 1t was gallant fighting
time, the ship in one night throwing
seven hundred shots into the works In
the harbor of Tripon. But those early ex-
ploits were surpassed by the more glori-
Gus achievements of the vessel in the War
of 1912. 1t was then that the Constitution
made her remarkable reputation. When

way to cure deafness and that is by constitu-
