A Modern Battleship.

A battleship is not only floating
fortress, but is also steam power plant
of the largest size, with greater va
riety and number of engines or ma
chimes than is ever dreamed of by the
uninitiated. OF all this com bination
there is no portion that can be pe,Sait
ted to remain in state Of repose for
any length of time without endangering
it's effective action when the emergency
arises for which it was designed. 1t is
only by constant use that they can be
kept perfectly efficient.
On an armored cruiser like the Brook
Ign Of the United States navy, taking
her as a sample of an up to date war.
ship, between battleship and an or.
binary cruiser, there are altogether 81
separate engines, having total of 156
steam cylinders.
Add in imagination to this number,
imposing in itself, the vast quantity
and extent Of steam, exhaust and water
piping needed to connect all these en-
gines to the boilers, condensers and wa
ter systems, the thousands Of valves to
be kept workable and efficient. Then
include the seven great boilers, capable
Of evaporating into steam, under forced
draft, 1856 tons Of water an hour, and
one can begin to comprehend the vast
ness of the steam plant Of a modern
ship. CASTER 8 Magazine.

The Elaborate Chinese Novel.

It is a proof Of the high degree Of
elaboration to which fiction literature
in China has been carried that most Of
their novels are thickly interspersed
with poems Of all orders of merit. No
stronger evidence could be afforded Of
the fact that whatever they lack it is
not literary finish. If anything, they
have this in excess These poems are
introduced in variety Of ways. The
hero sends one in billet doux to the
heroine, or he overhears her singing
one or perhaps poetic contest is struck
up, the fine on defeat being generally
the compulsory drinking of SO many
extra fagons of wine. Wine drinking
and poetizing almost invariably go to-
gether in Chinese novels, though wheth-
er they do SO in real life we are unable
to say. Above all things, every man
who sets up to be anything in the way
Of hero in Chinese fiction must be
prepared to extemporize by the ream in
inimitable poetry.-Rev. G. +. Cam
din in Open Court.

India Rubber. !.

Not little singular is the fact noted
by chemists that, contrary to the gen.
eral belief, natural india rubber is not
waterproof. Indeed since the article has
to be dried to be freed Of it's moisture
the conclusion is obvious that it will
absorb moisture again, and, according
to experiments mentioned by E. Schulze
in the Gummi Zeitung, it does so with
certain rapidity.
It is found that rolled rubber plates,
which by virtue Of their treatment are
in somewhat compressed condition, \
absorb from to % per cent Of water
in two hours. When the water is heated
to about 100 degrees F., at increased
pressure, the absorption takes place
much more readily, and a piece Of rub
Der, kept in a cylinder under pressure
Of 40 pounds, absorbed % per cent Of
water in five minutes.
Oils, Of course. stop the water. Vul-
canized rubber remains dry, though not
entirely So and badly vuloanized goods
deteriorate, owing to this reason.
Schulze kept plate Of the best Para
rubber in water not above 10 degrees
r., and after az months it had be-
come a hopeless, smeary mass. 4

Character In the Eyebrows.

An arched eyebrow does not indicate
the highest order Of intelligence, but is
expressive of great sensibility. Scant
growth of the eyebrows denotes lack Of
vitality. On the contrary, heavy, thick
eyebrows indicate IA strong constitution
and great physical endurance.
They are not beautiful on woman's
face, however much they may signify
either mental or bodily vigor, and
when they are not only heavy, but
droop and meet at the nose, they are
disagreeable and are said to accompany
an insincere and prying nature. Long,
dropping eyebrows, lying wide apart,
indicate an amiable disposition. Where
the eyebrows are lighter in color than
the hair the indications are lack Of
vitality and great sensitiveness. !.
Family defined eyebrows placed high
above the nose are signs Of Incidence
and weakness Very black eyebrows
give the face all intense and searching
expression. When natural, they accom-
pany passionate temperament. Very
light eyebrows rarely are seen Oh
strongly intellectual faces, although the
color of the eyebrows is not accepted
simply as denoting lack of intelligence.
The form gives the key to the faculties
and their direction Red eyebrows de.
note great fervor and ambition; brown,
a medium between the red and black.

the Modern Girl.

An Illustration of the Artfulness of
the Modern Girl.
1.-THE artfulness of the modern GIRL"
remarked woman who was a girl years
ago, "passeth understanding. I have,
for example, a young kinswoman of IS,
whose mother, knowing that my hus-
band was out of town, invited me to
her house to tea one day. The girl was
so sweet to me that in the end, though
I hadn't the slightest idea of doing it
when set out, I asked her to come
home with me and stay the night. She
assented-not too eagerly-and as we
walked toward the car together-she
lives on Capitol HILLSIDE began to talk
Of young Mr.. So-and.so, Commander
So.and-so's son, who was so anxious to
meet me. No woman is too old to be
proof against tlattery, so expressed an
interest in Mr.. So-and-so, and told her
she might bring him to see me some
day.
1t would be nice if he could come
over this evening, wouldn't it?' she said
thoughtful]y. Lagreed that it would.
"'You might have sent him a note if
you had known, said, for at my age
it isn't too often that young men want
to make my acquaintance.
I tell you what, she said, quite as
if the idea had just occurred to her:
I'll telephone to him and see if he has
any other engagement.
"We went into the nearest drug
store, and idly followed her to the tel
ephone box, though she called my at
tention to something at the other end Of
the store Central gave her the desired
number-the young mans brother is a
physician. -..., ..,

"Pause. ..a
It's all right about tonight she
said. 'Goodby.' IL
''That's all she said. And then, and
not till then, I realized how that inno-
cent young thing had played it on me-

modern girl passeth understanding. -

Tower, mimi.

One of the most important towns on
the iron range is Tower, nearly one hun
dred miles northward from Duluth. It
was some sixteen years ago when John
Armstrong, in the employ Of George
Stone of st. Paul, walked through the
woods and up to this point, found the
outcroppings Of iron in this vicinity, and
finally located, with the aid of others,
the iron mines which are now being
worked in this town.
Since that time more or less work has
steadily been done on the mines in this
vicinity, the principal mine being located
about two and half miles from the little
city of Tower.
Tower itself has population Of about
1900 people and the settlement at the.
mines about as many more inhabitants,
the aggregate number of people in the
two villages being about 5000.
The Howe Lumber Company, when in
active operation here. pay out from $4,000
to $4,000 per month, and the managers
of the mines disburse here about $50, 900
monthly. s..
The supposition would be that this
would greatly enrich the business men Of
Tower, but the facts are that a large
share of this money goes, soon after being
received here, to relatives of miners in
Europe. 5I.T.
Another menace to business interests
in the range towns, and in all the rural
neighborhoods, are the catalogues Of
large wholesale houses in the metropoli-
tan cities, sent out to the country towns,
offering goods to be sent at low prices
by express for examination.
In vast majority Of instances the
same quality of goods can be bought
cheaper of the local merchant, fact
which these miners should be in some
way given to understand.
Tower is reached by the Duluth &
Iron Range railway, the road extending
eastward from Tower to Ely some over
twenty miles, From Tower the traveller
can go northward across the Vermillion
Lake by little steamers from here, some
twenty miles, then CO across the country

Al Brother.

A certain curate was of a painfully
nervous temperament, and in conse-
quence was constantly making awk-

ments- the bishop and others. Hav-
ing distinguished himself in an unusual
degree during gathering of clergy to
an afternoon tea at the bishops palace,
he was taken to task for his failings by
senior curate, who was one Of his
companions on the way home.

decidedly, "you are donkey. Why
cannot you keep quiet instead Of max
ing your asinine remarks? / am speak

Where the Money Came From to Pay

''Most peculiar case l ever had,
unused the attorney who is still a favor

Tense in the criminal courts. You new
er saw finer looking young fellow. He
had good face and we'll shaped head.
He was clean and neatly dressed. He
talked we'll and looked you squarely in
the eyes. When I went to the Jail at
his request, took an immediate liking
to him. It had been my business to
study human nature and was satisfied
from the first that he had never com
mitted the $1o,O robbery Of which
he stood accused.
He told me his story, frankly and
without reservation. | was convinced
more firmly than ever Of his innocence.
He outlined his own defense by account
ing for every minute of his time on the
night of the robbery and informing
me just where the witnesses to SD bstan
tiate his statements could be seen. I
found them, and they affirmed every
thing he had told me. 1t was as clear
case as ever saw, and I went into
court with the utmost confidence. The
prosecution did the best it could under
the circumstances, but we swept the
board and the young man was acquitted
by the jury's first ballot He was very
grateful, shaking hands with the judge,
the jurymen and even the prosecuting
attorney. "
g Now, sir, he began, when we had
reached the office, what do ! owe you?
'Only what you can afford to pay
me- The saving Of an innocent man is
something of a reward in itself.
B Well, would like to pay you
more, but at present I can only afford
to give you half Of the $40, 900. Is that
fair?' ''-Detroit Free Press.
