women are eligible for appointment
to many branches of the government
service upon precisely the same condi-
tons as men," writes Barton Cheyney,
in the Ladies' Home journal. "The
question Of sex does not enter into the
matter when there nre vacant positions
which are open TO women. At the pres
ent time there are one-sixth as many
women as men in the service. The
prejudice that formerly existed against
the appointment OF women is disap-

In olden times, when European kings
were as plentiful as Kentucky colonies
are to-day, il was not an exceptional
occurrence for a king to disappear and
never be heard Of again. In recent
times, however, the people have been
more careful Of their kings. So when
King Sebastian Of Portugal disappeared
in battle July 20, 1878, while fighting
the Moors at Alcazar, there wa great
connection. The Moors surrendered

The surrendered body wa buried with
royal honors at Belem, but the faithful
Portuguese persisted I'm waiting for
the return Of their king. Long after he
would have died in the course Of nature
hi. c%oumtrymen longingly awaited his
coming, Even up to this day the legend
~ the return Of King Sebastian is be-

oredulous Portuguese citizens will
wrap their cloaks about them and go
outside and watch the storm, thinking
that the king may appear in a cloud Of
fire and again rule over his people,

The prince OF Wales, while shooting
in Austria, caused temporary trouble
and ultimately made the fortune Of the
nearest ladies' tailor, 10y stipulating
that all ladies' receiving invitations to
shoot with him should come IN correct
shooting costumes. This, in Austria,
consists of a short skirt coming half

The celebrated mathematician. Sonva
kovalevski, went through the marriage
ceremony with a student whom she
then saw for the first time, and who
afterward became her husband.
The education of women in Russia
stands better than in most European
countries, owing TO the persistent ef-
forts of the Russian women themselves.
BY 1856 they had managed TO get four
university colleges for women. with

with 500 students, and numerous inter
mediate schools. There are 700 women
doctors In Russia, OF whom nearly one-

roRPEDoEs WITHOUT WIRE.
Deadly Explosives Are Steerod b.
Means of Electric Wire.

Deadly Explosives Are steered by
Means of Electric Wire.
From the London Mail: Contem-
poraneous with the sitting Of the peace
conference comes the announcement OF
new invention by which torpedoes
are to be rendered more deadly in mod
ern warfare than heretofore. The in
vention. due to Walter Jameson and
John Trotter. ec-sists in utilizing the
ethereal" or '"'artzian" waves. which
are tht OF wireless telegraphy. as
meas Of steering and controlling
torpedoes on their deadly missions.
The apparatus Is made In several
forms. which differ principally In the
means by which the current induced
BY the waves is applied to the steering
mechanism. The best arrangement
consists Of coil or iron wire, or
"solenoid." that becomes magnetic on
receiving the ethereal waves, and Is
thus rendered capable Of sucking into
itself a magnet, the motion of -hscb
brings about any required change In
the steering gear OF the torpedo. The
latter is fitted with two rods, which
project above the water and serve as
receivers is, means Of collect
ing the waves. Each Of the rods is In
connection with a coil Of the type de-
seribed. one on the right Of the tor
pedo and one on the left, and. accord
ing as the right-hand or the left-hand
rod absorbs the waves, so the torpedo
Is guided to the right or left. The
means adopted In using the apparatus
is as follows: Suppose that the tor
pedo is fired in the usual manner and
that its course is seen to swerve from
its proper path. From the torpedo
boat electric waves are Immediately
dispatched by the processes used In
wireless telegraphy, In such q manner
that they only affect either the right
hand or left-hand coil controlling the
helm, which is thus turned in any re-
quired direction, and the original
course of the torpedo reproduced.
When this is accomplished The elec-
trio waves are stopped and the helm
flies back to the midship position
Large models Of the apparatus have
been experimented with, and 1t is saie
that perfect success has been obtained
under all possible conditions. Since
the new method Of guiding torpedoes
Is greatly superior to the old, which
made use Of electric wires, 1t is evident
that the new invention will be an i'm
portant factor in future naval warfare

Boston Special Chicago Tribune: A
now scheme 10 defraud the banking

covered through the officials OF the
Massachusetts, National bank. The Of
ncials are assisting the police In this

force in unraveling the matter. Ths

lows; A man enters bank and pur-
chases draft, at the same time tell
ing the cashier that he is going abroad
and would like to have duplicate
drawn. He takes both OF the drafts
away, and the original Is either taken
or sent TO Europe by the swindler.
Some bank In London eashes the origi-
nal drast and the duplicate Is oaAhed
on the continent by some unsuspecting
person. In this way the swindlers
double their money. Paper issued by
the Massachusetts, National bank was
used by one OF the swindiers to secure
$1,000 from bank In Switzerland. The
man who had the transaction with the
local bank told the cashier that he was
going abroad and that he would like to
have the drafts in two parts. He pur-
chased two drafts Of 81, 900 each. These
were drawn on a London bank. Re-
Gently word was received from London
that one Of the drafts marked dupli-
cate had been cashed there. A few
days ago letter was received from a
banking house in Switzerland, stating
that 1t had cached the original draft
for the party to whom Miller had in
dorsed it. The cashier of the Massachu-
sets National bank wrote to a bank
ing house in Troy. N, Y, and asked
that Institution TO look up a man CIV
ing the name of J. P. Miller, who had
bought the draft in March. The bank
ing house replied that 1t found three
people Of that name, all reputable bus
mess men. No one of the three an
swered the description Of the Miller
who bought the drafts The SwitEer-
land bank will be the loser in this
case, as the person who cashed the
draft should have demanded the dupli-
cate as well as the original before CASH

search, which II eminentiy Is by virtue
Of the extremely low temperature at
which alone II can exist, and which
low temperature 1t, by Its presence or
contact, enables other substances APP
proxlmately to reach. The liquid was
exhibited in a state of gentle ebullition
in vacuum tube immersed In liquid
air, the latter serving to impede the ac-
cess Of heat. The hydrogen Is a trans
parent liquid, and besides being the
coldest is also the llghtest liquid
known. A cork drops Immediately to
the bottom OF It. At the bottom Of the
vessel containing the liquid there ap-
peared a whitish substance, which was.
In fact, solid air. or air ice. 1t is Inn
possible to avoid the air Ice at the bot
tom of the vessel. as the air at the
surface Is, by the intense cold,
condensed, lIQuehed. and subsequently
solIdifed, and. being SO much heavier
than the hydrogen. 1t sinks and accu-
mulates at the bottom. To show that
the liquid was really hydrogen, light
was applied to small quantity. which
at once burst into brilliant flame. Sol

to attain the same temperature were,
