Final Arguments Made In the Jamaica
Ease

The final arguments were made Friday
afternoon in the case of H. G. Barber
guardian for Mrs, Unity Sanders of ia
maica, against the town of Jamaica and
Others, in the office of Haskins IL Schwenk
before O. f. Butterheld, special master in
Chancery.
The principal claim of the guardian is
that when the tax collector sold portion
of Mrs. Sanders's property to satisfy a
tax bill of S32 So Mrs Sanders was
greatly wronged inasmuch as the assessed
valuation OF the property sold was 500
The property consisted of a two-story
house, a barn 40 by 20 feet and a half acre
of land.
The guardian also claimed that the tan
collector was notified before he gave no
tice that the property would be sold that
application would be made for the appoint
ment of guardian and that the GaX
which is only short time past due, would
be paid as soon as the appointment was
made.

Young women who assume the title
of bachelor are considered especially
modern. Yet the term was applied
customarily to them in the time Of
"rare Ben Jonson." The poet him
self so used it in his plays. Bachelor
is derived from the Welsh word bach,
which means small, little. young.
The kindred Welsh word baches
means a pretty little woman. There

day do not ape their brothers, but 60

Georgia has gone successfully into
stock-raising, and the industry has in
creased rapidly. During the last
eight months the farmers of the south
western part Of the State have shipped
65. 900 head to Texas and the Indian
Territory, getting from $40 TO sl2 q
head for them, which is considered a
rcmunerative price in comparison
with that Of other farm products.
The Atlanta Constitution says that
efforts are now being made to obtain
direct communication with the mar
kets Of the North and East, thus saw
ing to the Georgia farmers the profit
now gained on their shipments by the
Western oattlemen. II is said that
cattle can be fattened about as cheaply
in Georgia as in the Indian Territory.

Many are the hobbies Of the adult
princes OF Europe, and science has
claimed several as her disciples. The
prince of Naples has chosen electricity
as his favorite study. For many years
he has been interested in the applica.
tion of electricity TO light. sound,
motive power and ofrshoots OF such
studies, such as electric rays in con-
nection with photography. Since the
discovery of the x rays he has been
most fully occupied in experiments,
and has been most successful opera
tor in this direction. His home in
the Quirinal was more like scientific
laboratory than a royal residence in
his bachelor days, but doubtless this
has been altered recently.

from the dynamite guns on these two
ships is shaped like the head of a
rocket and is about ten feet long
Spiral vanes guide its flight and the
explosive charge, consisting of from
900 to 500 pounds of nitro-glycerine,
is in the head and middle OF the pro-
jectile. When loaded the entire af-
fair weighs 1000 pounds. 1t can be
set to explode either on impact or by
O time fuse. A range OF 1000 yards
with entire accuracy is attainable.
As said before, the question is
whether q ship carrying these guns
could get near enough to attack an en-
envy. To approach an alert ship Of war
close enough . use the dynamite gun
the Vesuvius or the Buffalo must steam
for several miles under fire, for the
ordinary powder guns of any warships
will throw shot at least three or four
miles, and the big guns will carry
seven miles with fair accuracy. The
dynamite throwers must rush OF the
enemy under storm of shot, there
fore, and this, at the rate of speed Of
either these ships, would mean that
they would be exposed to it for fifteen
minutes at the least before they could
reply. But if they survive this fire
and drop one projectile within fifty
yards OF the greatest battleship ahoat,
the result will be the enemy's annihil-
alton. No craft can withstand the
shock OF an explosion Of the amount
OF gelatine or nitro-glycerine which
their proiectiles can carry.
It is somewhat misleading to speak
OF dynamite guns when referring to
the dynamite battery on Sandy Hook.
What they are really is torpedo tubes
that discharge aerial torpedoes instead
OF the submarine variety. The tubes
are mounted like cannon, and 10 an
extent look like them; but, exactly
speaking, they are torpedo tubes, and
nothing else. Like the submarine tor
psdo, they are Of use only at close
range. or what is considered close
range in these days Of high power steel
cannon which throw shot ten miles.

With the incorporation Of the Brazil
ian cruiser Nictheroy into the United
States Navy under the name Of the
Buffalo that branch OF the service will
have two ships that are unlike those
Of any other navy in the world-de-
stroyers on huge plan. These two
ships-the Vesuvius and the Buffalo
are throwers Of dynamite. The ex-
plosives which they throw do not de-
pend, as do those thrown from the tor
pedo tubes Of ordinary warships or the
missile sent from torpedo boat, on
any mechanical continuance inside OF
the missile. They travel through the
air, and their propulsive force comes
from compressed air, which is stored
in tube that is more like q gun than
tube. The shots have ranges far SUI
perior 10 those Of the torpedo and ac-
curacy which is almost perfect.
The one question is whether large
ships like these can get near enough
to an enemy TO reach him with their
shot. They are not like torpedo boats
or torpedo boat destroyers. They are
large and noticeable objects, and while
the Vesuvius is armored, the Buffalo
has little defensivepower. Butif they
do get near enough to an enemy 10

THE CUBAN WATER MONKEY.

One Must Be an Expert to Drink From
It Gracefully.
The Cubans have o domestic utensil
called "water monkey, that is TO be
found in houses, hotels and offices. It
answers the same purpose as the OLA
in Mexico and the clay jugs Of India.
1t is made OF gray porous clay and is
manufactured in Malaga, "where the
raisins come from" BY absorption
and evaporation blanket Of cool air
surrounds the jug continually and
keeps the water almost as cold as if it
contained ice. In IA country where ice
is both scarce and expensive these
jugs are indispensable.
The water monkeys have two aper-
lures, one about the size of a dollar,
through which water is poured into a
glass. On the opposite side is a pro-
tuberance with q small hole running
through 1t. From this the experienced
Cuban drinks without touching it to
his lips. When about to drink he
holds IL two or three inches from his
mouth, into which the tiny stream OF
water pours. Gradually and slowly
he lifts the Monkey away from him

The consolidation Of New York made
no radical difference in the ratio
naturalized voters bear TO the native
born, says the Sun. Relatively, II is
true, there are fewer naturalixed voters
in Kings County than in New York,
and fewer in Richmond County than
in that part Of Queens which includes
Long Island City, and which was con-
solidated with New York on the LIST OF
January, but the differences are not
great. A clear majority Of the male
INHABITANTS Of voting age Of New York
are foreign born, as the last national
census showed: New York, native
white male l7O,997. foreign white
male 266,747; Kings. native white

476; Richmond, native white male
8275. foreign white male 6802; Queens
(vhole county,, native white male 49,
8ls, foreign white male 1909. One
curious result Of the consolidation Of
the three cities Is that tho present city
administration is, more largely perhaps
than any of its predecessors in recent
years, under the direction Of native
born citizens, while the representa-
lives of cosmopolitan New York" are
few aud far between. Mayor vsa
