that n of it's employees was called on
% JOIN the reserves, at once volunteered
to pay half his wages to his wife in his

But great is the resistance when the

Sad to say, the French avant-historian

In Dublin the republic is proclaimed.
Queenstown turns out en- masse to

SHAVED WITHOUT ARMS.
FeIu the ArInIess Belgian Artist,
Was Handy with His Toes.

49,
American men think it a very merit
orious and remarkable accomplishment
to be able to shave themselves. Yet
Charles Francis Felu. the armless Bel
gian artist, who has just died in his
SEVENTEEN year, performed this ardu-
Gus office every morning for himself,
and did not consider that he was doing
anything unusual.
Felu related how, when a baby, he
used to sit in the garden with his moth
er during the long summer days, while
she taught him to pluck with his little
toes the bright-colored flowers with
which their garden abounded. Forti-
fed by this practice, his baby feet be-
came daily more flexible and useful to
their little master, and when he had
reached the age of six he could do al
most as much with them as his little
companions and playmates could do
with their hands.
In later years, when he commenced
the study and pursuit of his favorite
art, painting, it was a wonderfully in
teresting sight to watch the gifted boy
at work.
He always held the palette with the
great toe Of his left foot, and manipu-
lated the different brushes, crayons and
percils with the toes of his right foot.
Always when at table he skilfully man
aged his knife and fork.

SUBMARINE A
Easily Detected by Balloons Soaring
Directly Above Them.

lastly O0tOCtSu ny balloons soaring
Directly Above Them.
Should the submarine boat take the
place in naval warfare that some ma
tions expect, one of the chief precau-
lions taken by the worlds navies will
be an immense increase in the num-
Der of balloons, with duly trained
stats to work them, carried by war
vessels. The balloons carried by these
battleships are of exactly the same
material and pattern as those in use
in the army, only smaller. They have
a use far in advance of any mere long
distance ~observational purpose, for,
though the wake of a submarine boat
sunk deeply in the water can only be
traced with difficulty from such an ele-
walton as that afforded by a ship, both
such wake and the boat itself can be
seen with absolute and undertaking
clearness from a captive balloon. This
is the result of a scientific and optical
law, and when ship balloons were first
put to the practical test in regard to
this matter, the results attained were
of the most surprising kind. Even
where the water is distinctly cloudy,
objects of a much smaller kind than
a submarine boat, and painted of neu-
trail color, could be seen from a balloon
with the utmost clearness at a depth
of five fathoms, or thirty feet, though
the surface was rough. No submarine
boat could in the daytime get within
striking distance of a threatened ship

served.

The fever Of war is abroad in France.
The public prints show it and the tenn
per of the people on the boulevards
is not a whit less martial. The most
remarkable illustration of this, how
ever, is found in the last issue of LIE
Monde Illustre, a Partisan magazine
which might be compared to Harper's
Weekly in this country. The Paris
publication contains a story headed
"The End of England" 1t Is a plaus-
able and circumstantial account Of a
great war, begun by an overt act of
England, and resulting in the downfall
of the empire. At it's end Ireland is
freed n becomes a republic, the Brit
ish are hemmed in in England, her
possessions are divided among the
ADowers, and in this way, the author
asserts, universal peace is assured. To
further simulate reality, photographs
and Photographic illustrations accom-
pany the article, which Is from the pen
of Henri de Noussane. Living sol
diers and statesmen are the person
ages of the story. There are Roberts
and Kitchener, Rosebery, Sir Charles
Il B~eresford, as we'll as Gen. wMarchand
Of France. The preface of this political
cataclysm is laid at Kouck (Koushk),
on the Afghanistan frontier. It's date
is July 16-for the story is circumstan-
tial even to dates as we'll as to places,
atmosphere and the names of living
men. Thus, on July 16 a band of At

in Russia two days later. At the same
moment the ministry is informed that
tie ameer, Abdur-Rahman, has been
slain by his nephew, who has been ele-
waited to the throne. 1t is known that
the dead ameer was about to sign a
treaty granting Russia permission to
extend the Trans-Caspian railroad
