cablegram to the Evening World from
Sylvester Scovel, under today's date of
Havana, via Key West. says:
The consensus of opinion of those
who have studied the wreck closest
now is that the explosion was caused
by submarine mine. The forward
magazine, it is now generally supposed
is intact. also the forward six-inch
magazines.
This leaves only a few saluting
charges and few small calibre shells
In the pilot house which could possibly
have exploded aboard the ship.
"At the same time the fearful dam
age is too big for any but an extremely
large torpedo. If it were a torpedo the
divers will find the torpedo fragments;
but If 1t were submarine mine, no
traces will be found.
"All the American officers are inter-
nally boiling. There is not one of
them, from Capt. Sigsbee down, who is
not fairly convinced a government sub
marine mine did it.

officials Annoyed.
The officials of the war department
are annoyed at the circulation of ru-
mors that seem to connect an activity
now observable at the sea coast de-
lenses with the Maine incident The
attention of Acting Secretary Meikle-
john was this morning called to several
such stories, coming from widely sep
arated parts of the country. He prompt
ly declared that this movement had no
connection with the Maine affair.
There had been increases of the gar
risons of the seaboard posts. But this
had been going on for six months, and
only marked step in the development
of the scheme of coast 6efense planned
by the fertilization board some time
ago. Said Mr.. Meiklejohn:
1t is the following out of the policy
pursued ever since the ordnance de-
partment turned over to the engineers
the modern guns which they manufac-
tured. When these are placed in the
coast fortification, 1t becomes neces-
sary to have them carefully protect
ed, ard this work has been going on
for six months. Guns have been sent
the Delaware Notifications Firms
Point, Fort Moultrie and other defenses
on the Atlantic coast.
Congress has been aware of this. and
the department has called it's attention
to the need of at least two additional
regiments of artillery to man these
posts and take care of these guns as
fast as they are installed

Ethics of Sleep.

The ethics Of good sleep should
form part Of household morality. 1t
is hardly an extravagant assertion
that comparatively few people, after
childhood has passed, know by ex-
perience what perfect sleep is, and
satisfy themselves with poor apology
for this most perfect refreshment.
Rising tired and weary from a dis
turbed, imperfect sleep, they proceed
to summon up lost energies by strong
tea or coffee, which in its turn again
interferes with perfect rest at night;
and this process of life, more than
mental or physical labor, wears wom-
en- out and makes them prematurely
old.
81 have been reading myself to
sleep after retiring" said a lady the
other day; "and when I have done
this for two or three nights l can see
that I look five years Older"
It is an experience that any woman
coz verify, and, conversely: she can
see that sleeping in a perfectly dark
and well-ventilated room brings back
the contour and the roses of childhood
or early youth.-New York Ledger.

Rock That Changes Colors.

"While doing some work up in
Eastern Kentucky and Southwestern

I'D civil engineer.

said he didn't know what caused the
rock to change its color, but his father,
an old woodsman, had attributed it tc
