A Painter of Fame.

In these days of very personal jour
nalism, Rudolf Lehman, who attained
the age of 81 on Aug. 10. can not be
said to be very well known to the man
in the street. Yet the veteran is the
most illustrious portrait painter liv-
ing, and the number of distinguished
people who have sat to him is simply
amazing. For example, there is the
Prince of Wales. who smoked a great
deal while undergoing the ordeal; and
other sitters have been Mr.. Gladstone,
the Duke of Cambridge, Pope Plus
TX, Lord Tennyson, Cardinal Man
ming, Browning, and the present Lord
Warwick. who was then 2 years old
Mr.. Lehman also painted Lord Leigh
ton, when the president of the Royal
Academy was about % years old. Lord
Leighton was born II years after the
veteran artist and died four years ago.
Mr.. Leamann was born at Hamburg,
and it was not till 1866 that he set
tied in London. For 16 years previous
ly he had lived in Rome, where some
of his pictures had become we'll known.

Worker. Attacked by Women.

Hazelton, Pa Oct Slight Italians
employed on the night shift of the
Calvin, Pardee & Co., colliery at Latti-
mer, were attacked on the public road
leading from that place to Hollywood
by twenty-five women who had
marched from Minesville. At quitting
time another attack was made upon
the mine workers. About fifty of the
men in a railroad car drawn by mine
engine were attacked by about 100
strikers. Stones and rocks were
thrown at the men in the car, and two
of the workmen were severely cut
about the head. Sheriff Harvey, who
was on the car, ordered the engineer
to stop, and as he and a few deputies
stepped from the coach the attacking
party scattered in all directions. Two
pistol shots were heard, but which side
fired them is not known.

Searching for a Dinosaur.

Bones of a huge dinosaur will
shortly adorn the archaeological de-
partment of the Field museum, if the
explorations of Assistant Curator E. S.
Riggs are successful. Last summer,
whileon an expedition in Wyoming Mr.
Riggs discovered the hind leg, the tail
and several vertabrae of a gigantic
dinosaur of the Jurassic period. These
specimens we're sent to the museum
and are now mounted in glass cases.
Two months ago the party went back
to search for the remainder of the skel-
eton. The dinosaur is an extinct ami
NAL of the lizard order. Many speci-
mems have been found in America,
some of them measuring eighty feet
in length.-Chicago Record.

SUBMARINE FIGHTER.
Mysterious rorpedo-Bost In Course Of
Construction at Stamford.

Construction at Stamford.
For nineteen months a submarine
torpedo-boat has been in process of
construction at Ware Island, of SIAM
ford, Conn. Great secrecy has been
maintained by the builder and COM
paratively little is known of the plan
Of the boat or what she is expected
to accomplish. To a casual observer
the boat looks like great cigar paint
ed bottle green. Its length is given as
fifty feet over all. The bow is sharp,
the stern rounded. The boat is fitted
with heavy ram made of maple and
tapers from six inches to perhaps
twenty-five in diameter. 1t is four feet
six inches long and fitted on the end
is steel plug which tapers to point.
The she'll of the boat is of yellow
pine, bound with iron hoops, covered
with coatings of ship felt and pitch.
Galvanized iron covers the coatings
of pitch and felt. On the top of the
craft is deck conforming to the shape
of the boat. There is%also a coming
tower, with two torpedo loops. The
machinery is connected with the con-
ming tower. Electricity is the motive
power used. 1t is said that three men
will compose the crew. The torpedo
loops are made water tight by prep
aration of rubber and copper. A rub
Der cap also screws down over the top
Of the tower outside and encircling the
deck are several exhaust pipes. The
craft will be propelled by water taken
in through openings, one on each side,
about four feet from the stern of the
craft and we'll down toward the princi-
pal keel. These openings are connect
ed with pumps which are operated by
two engines of 1000 horse power each.
From the pumps run four seven-inch
copper pipes, two in each side OF the
boat. The water forced through these
pipes passes out through two openings
in the blunt stern of the boat and,
coming in contact with the body of
water in which the boat rests, forces
it ahead. It is not calculated that q
very great speed will be attained. To
the stern is fitted cap of iron bolted
with wood to make it tight. This cap
is connected with a lever on the inside
of the boat and when it is desired to
back the vessel the cap is placed
partly over the vents in the stern.
This gives the water emerging through
the opening backward movement and
causes the boat to go back. There are
two dynamos, which are operated by
the two engines mentioned. Kerosene
is used as fuel. There are fourteen
tanks in the bottom of the boat, capa-
BILE of holding f1fty-five barrels of oil.
This 300 gallons of kerosene also an
swers the purpose of balance. When
a tank has been exhausted provision
| is made to take in sea water to refill it.
| The interior of the boat is divided into
three sections. In the rear is the en-
gine-room. in the center are the lock-
ers and apartments for the crew and
in the bow is a store-room. The in
terror is braced by an octagonal frame
of wood and iron. The craft will be
lighted throughout by electricity. Sc
| far as can be learned there is no pro-
vision made for leaving. the boat when
| it is under water.

TEN PER CENT OFFER IGNORED
strikers' Omcials Hard at Work to Close
Rest of Mines.

Hazelton, Pa, Oct. 6.-Not the
slightest notice has been taken by the
striking miners of the 10 per cent
offered to the employees by several of
the larger coal companies. As far as
is definitely known not one striking
miner has accepted the advance, but on
the other hand more have quit their
places, notably in the Schuykil region
where three additional collieries of
the Reading company were shut down.
The United Mine Workers officials are
still hard at work trying to close the
few mines that continue in operation.
All the organizers and the national
committeeman were in the same part
of the field during the day, only Presi-
dent Mitchell being on duty at head
quarters. Mr.. Mitchell did little else
than attend to the correspondence and
answer telephone calls from different
sections of the region. When he was
asked what was new in the strike sit
uation, he briefly replied;
I'VE are waiting on the operators
He says he had no information
as to the movement of the mine owners
other than that printed in the newspa-
pers. He also remarked that the call
for an anthracite miners convention is
not yet in sight.
Applications by striking miners for
relief are beginning to be received by
local unions in several sections of the
anthracite field. President Mitchell
said that wherever applications have
been made for relief, necessary sup
plies have been furnished.

Electricity in Atmosphere.

Mr.. w. A. Eddy, the famous kite

Leyden jars with kites that the atmos-

ity. One may draw sparks when there
is not a cloud in sight. Upon the ap-
proach of thunderstorm, however, the
atmospheric electricity becomes inten-
sifled. so that it is possible to judge
from the length OF the spark how far
away the storm center is.
