Bangles For the Ankles.

There is new fad abroad in the way
of betrothal eifts-new and novel, and
one whose origin it would lie hard to
trace, unless we 60 far LAX into the
customs Of the orient and there find its
prototype. The proper way to seal a
botrothal compact now is to give BAN
gle, but not just an ordinary bangle to
Slip up and down the arm-not the old
fashioned, commonplace bangle which
is fastened with pretty lock, the key
to which is carried next the heart, but
a gold or silver laugle just large
enough to slip up and down the ankle,
fastened with a little lock.
This is the latest the very latest, and
newest fad. The bangle may he of gold
or silver, just as the donors pocketboolz
will allow, and the little lock which
fastcns it must be secured by gold or
silver key.
The origin of the fad can only he
found in the east where bracelets and
bangles are as common on the ankles IS
on the wrists. Every one who has read
"Salammbo" remembers the delicate,
dainty, golden circlets which claeped
her pretty ankles only that Salammbo's
were chained so that her feet could only
step just SO far and no farther.
The bangle must be loose enough to
allow the stocking to he taken off and
put Oh without removing the circlet. 1t
must be tight enough to lie kept in
place above the shoe top, and many but
ton the top button of high shoe over
the bauble to keep it in place.
1t may prove an Inconvenience with
a low shoe or slipper, but W hat girl
would not put up with the slight dis
comfort CT having her pretty bangle
slip down so that it shows little just
to prove to another girl that she has a
sweetheart and Langlo, Of which he

NEW ENGINE OF WAR.
Hudson Maxim Offers to Build a Cruise
to Destroy II Whole Navy.

to Destroy II Whole Navy.
Hudson Maxim, famous inventor
and brother of the inventor of the Max.
i'm gun, has proposed to build cruiser
for the government which would not
cost more than $500, 900 and which
could sink all Of Spain g mon of war
The inventor offers his services free of
charge to supervise the construction OF
I thC cru ser.
Mr.. MAXIM, plan is to place on a
fast cruiser u "a inch torpedo gun aud
two torpedo mortars. s>le gun will
throw ton Ct gun cStton five miles
and half q ton much farther. The two
mortars can throw half ton of gun
cotton three miles. Mr.. Maxim would
heavily arnor the bow of the cruiser,
which would fight VIVA her PROV to-
ward the approaching battlesEip. The
area exposed to fire from the enemy
would be small.
a ton Of exploding gun cotton carries
destruction to anything i'll a space of
80, 900 feet about it, SO that the missile
would not have to land Oh an enemy
ship to destroy it. Shots from the APP
preaching enemy Wonld do little dam
ago to tho heavily arn0red bow of the
torpedo throwcr. Mr. Maxim says that
ten such cruisers can be built for the
cost Of one great battlesbip. These
cruisers would be capable OF destroying

YALE'S MOUNTED BATTERY,


fians Completed 30 send !. !: '.al:oa OF
40 Men To the Er.!t.
The Yale Alumni Weekly receutly
announced the completed plans for the
mounted battery viii i is in process of
enlistment at Yale Two undergradu-
ates Messrs. Parkhurst and Chapel,
have been to Washington and Hartford
to consult with the national aud stats
authorities and get their advice and ap.
prevail. They have met with success. In
consequence of the advice received by
them the plan to form a machine gun
battery has been changed to one contem.
plating a horse battery. 1t will be re-.
membered that as soon as it became an.
parent that there would be fight with
Spain the leading Yale seniors met and
asked Washington what sort of addi-
tions the army most needed and where
the hottest work would be found. The
decision to enlist battery followed i'm
mediately Oh the answer.
AS now arranged, the battery will
consist OF 175 men, with an armament
OF six 8 Z inch guns. Instead of restrict
ing enlistments to scientific and aca-
demic seniors tho rolls have been thrown
open to all undergraduates and gradu-
ates OF few years standing. By thus
increasing the number of those eligible
it is hoped to raise the standard of phys
lcal fitness. Seasoned athletes who have
fought for Yale on the athletic field
will, it is believed, make the best kind
of fierce and disciplined fighters. AS
soon as possible the new battery will
be transported to Chattanooga and then
