Book reviewers are all accomplished
linguists. The fact is easily discovered
by gIancing over their criticisms of
books that have been translated into
English. They almost invariably wind
up by congratulating the translator

the original in all its freshness and
beauty, or grid at him for having COM

IT Can Point Back to Your Grandfather

The fact that the hand looks shape
lier and more graceful when the middle
and third fingers are slightly curved in
and away from the index and little
finger is shown by the models in the
glove store windows, and while it is
affectation to hold the hands in such
position, yet this exercise, to make the
pose natural, should be practiced."
writes Katharine Eggleston Junker-
mann in the course of an article on
Physical Culture for Girls" in the
WOman's Home Companion, which
discusses how to secure pretty hands
and to retain a natural grace Of mo-
ton. Some one has said somewhere
that the number of cultured genera
lions back of an individual may bs
judged by the degree of curve in the
little finger. Observation will prove
this more or less true. When one
sees a person holding a glass or cup
with the little finger thrust out and
curved until it resembles a hook,
little investigation will almost invari-
ably show that the desire for culture
has only just awakened in that partic-
ular family, and in it's newness is
somewhat overstepping the mark AZ

Some of the old painters understood

Of the women whose beauty they have

Our Warships Equipped with a New Set

The present war between this coun-

val vessels with a new signaling sys-
cem. The apparatus of the TelephOtos
company of Buffalo, has been approved
by the United States navy department,
and several sets are being made for
American warships. The telephotos is
considered the most rapid, most power
full and effective night signal system
yet invented. 1t consists of a series of
four double lanterns. lighted by power
full groups of incandescent lamps, the
four double lanterns being hung YER
tically on strong wire cables. the upper
end of which can be run up to mast
or yardarm. while the lower end is in
tended to be fastened to the deck Of the
vessel. The upper half Of each lamp Is
white and has within it a group of three
lamps surrounded by powerful magni-
flying lenses. The lower half is red,
and has four lamps, in order to make
the red beams the stronger, which are
surrounded by heavy red lenses. The
carefully insulated cable connects the
lamps and passes from the lower one
to the deck or bridge. where keyboard
enables the operator to spell out the
code signals about as rapidly as a type

that another cannot be accidentally
