OUR COAST DEFENSES.
FOrtincntions Have Been in Course
of Erection for Many
Years.

For the past 10 years the govern
ment has been erecting coast fortifica-
tions according TO q general plan, de-
vised by officers of the army, which will
cost in the aggregate about $125,OOO,-
GOETHE work to be spread over a
series of years.
Although the plan in its essential
features was adopted, the work has not
been carried on with the intended ra-
pidity. The Spanish war found the
coast cities poorly fortified. Such for
iifcations as existed were inadequately
provided with old-fashioned ammuni-
ton. The smoke from the powder
would have defined the position of the
batteries TO an enemy.
The idea that the coast must bristle
with guns is offensive to most Ameri-
cans. The country has been defended
in the past by its isolation, its nom
interference traditions, and its ships.
Even now the completion of the coast
defenses is retarded by the opposition
of navy men, who advise that the money
intended for such defenses be spent for
ships rather than for forts.
The experience of the Spanish war
certainly justifes a good opinion of the
defensive value of modern inshire bat
teries, since while our good ships were
unable to harm seriously even very old
and poorly equipped coast defenses,
they easily made way with the enemy's
ships.
Nor can it be longer assumed that the
policy Of keeping out of the quarrels
of Europe secures the American coasts
perpetually from attack. Our cline OF
battle" is now extended over the whole
world. Common prudence and ordinary
Yankee foresight admonish that the
system of defenses be completed at an
early Gate.-Youth's Companion.
A mackerel with a rubber band
around it's body was taken from q net
at Provineetown by John P. Woods.
Several mackerel banded in q similar
manner were taken by net fishermen
on the New England coast four or five
years ago, and fishermen generally
were puzzled to account for the band.
That the bands were placed upon the
fish when small was evident, for in
every instance the rubber was sunken
deeply into the body of the mackerel.
The mackerel captured by Woods has
worn its band for long time, as evil
denced by the depth of the fissure.
When taken from the water the body
of the fish collapsed at the point en-
circled by the band, the upper end
inclining at an angle with the tail por-
ton, yet the skin was not broken

sroCkMAN TO THE RESCUE.
A BIg-Hearted Westerner Relieves
the Distress of an Unfortunate.
Cash Girl.

There was q crush in the big store.
The passages about the counters were
filled with a swiftly moving mass OF
choppers. People pushed, crowded and
iostled, lodged this way and that TO
take advantage of some momentary gap
in the throng, and strove in half-heart-
ed way to obey an unwritten law by
excepting to the right" But counter
currents, eddying in from cross aisies
nj either side, COMPOUNDED all attempts
at order. The place was a chaos OF mat
ter and motion. On every side sales
women were rafting their lead pen
ellis on the show cases and calling
"Casbl" The form of n floor-walker
lowered about the struggling ruck.
Little cash girls in gingham aprons
fitted here and there, crying their
numbers in shrill falsetto.
Suddenly came crash and clatter as
of breaking crockery, followed by the
sobs of child. An absurdly small cash
girl had dropped an armful of china
ware. In her haste she had bumped
into n man, or a man had bumped into
her, just which was not quite clear.
The crowd paused to look on, while the
floorwalker listed the broken articles.
"Who stands the loss?" asked a by
stander. He was Il big man, wearing the
broad-brimmed felt hat usually asso-
ciated with stockmen of the west.
The hoorwalker was too busy TO an
swer. The child dug her fists into her
eyes and wept softly. The man with
whom she had collided attempted to
back away, but the crowd was too
dense.
"Why, the child stands it, of course"

arm.

No one seemed to know.
GLOW much do you make week,
little girl?" he asked, kindly.
"Thr - thr - three dollars" she
sobbed.
Three dollars. And the broken
dishes, Mr.. Floorwalkcr?"
-Four dollars and eighty-five cents"
The child wept more violently. Those
words no doubt dispelled all her fond
ly cherished visions of Christmas cheer.
almost two weeks wages" said the
stockman.
The man with whom she had collided
averted his face and tried to elbow his
way out of the crowd, but behind him
were many curious TO learn the cause
of the commotion, and these pushed
him forward.
There was n low-voiced consultation
between the big-hearted westerner, the
foor-walker and the cash girl. A wal
let was produced. There was the clink
of coin as change was made; the child
ceased crying and the crowd moved on,
atisfied.-Chicago Chronicle.

STARVE THEMSELVES TO RECOVER
HEALTH.
Philadelphia Press.l

Philadelphia Press.
The starvation cult" which has been
developing during the last few months is
becoming famous in the northeastern
section of the city. Already several cures
more or less sensational are said to have
been effected.
1t all started last Autumn by the in:
PRODUCTION into the hands of Henry Rit-
ter, 633 Montgomery Avenue, of a trea-
tise on the science of living. Mr.. Ritter
became interested in it, and being run
down, tried the cure on himself. The re-
suits surpassed his expectations.
He became enthusiastic and expound-
ed the theory to several of his friends,
among whom was Miss Estele Kuenzel,
S04 North Second Street. For years she
had been an invalid with form of ner-
vous dyspepsia, which had finally pro-
duced a state of mind bordering on mel
ancholia. In her case everything had
been done that was possible. Her father
had spent hundreds of dollars in doctors
bills and the doctors had failed. For ten
weeks last Summer she was a private
patient in the Friends Asylum. Last
October she made up her mind to try the
effect of fasting.
Miss Kuensel's case has become wide
ly known. For forty-six days not a
morsel of food passed her lips. By that
time she had acquired genuinely healthy
appetite, and no longer had any difficult
ty in sleeping. Since she has begun to
eat again she has confined herself to two
meals day, emitting breakfast altogeth-
err. To-day Miss Kuenze is the picture
of health.
More remarkable still in many ways
is the case of Leonard Thress, 81 years,
26IS frankfort Avenue, who month
ago was afflicted with dropsy. To-day
he is as active as he was when a COM
paratively young man. lie has not eat
en- for twenty-six days.

LORD ROBERTS LUCK.

Lord Roberts is living example Of the
hazardous nature of the soldiers calling,
the number Of narrow escapes which he
has experienced leading one almost to
suppose that he bears a charmed life.
During the fight before the walls Of
Delhi bullet struck him on the back,
passing through leather pouch for caps
which he usually wore in front near his
pistol holster. The mere accident of this
pouch having slipped round to his back
prevented the ball from penetrating as
deeply as it otherwise would have done.
AS is was the wound was rather severe
one.
In the action at Bulandshar he saw a
Sepoy taking aim at him, and was unable
to get at the man because of the crush
of soldiers around him. Just, however,
as the mutineer fired, Roberts horse
reared and received the bullet in its
head.
A month later, during the advance on
Lucknow, Roberts and another young
officer rode forward to mark out the camp,
and were cut off from the main body by
a large number of the enemy.

THE Republican State Committee will
meet at Richmond next Friday to issue a
call for a Stale convention. When the
State convention meets it should adopt
some method to prevent the State Com
mittee in the future from raising and low
ering the party flag at its pleasure. The
policy of disbaDding the party every other
year under the pretext Of giving it strength
has been demonstrated to be farce.
Hereafter the Virginia Republicans should
demand more aggressive policy on the
part of its leaders.

But while Watterson is 50 glib at fixing
the responsibility of Goebel's death on
others, he cannot himself escape his share
of responsibility for the luminosity that
had been awakened in Kentucky against
the man who was assassinated. When
Mr.. Goebel pressed his election law
through the legislature, Watterson de-
nounced him and his work in words of
the warmest hue. G0ebel was held up
before the people of Kentucky rs the as
sassin of civil liberty, and Watierson pre-
dicted that his law would lead to revoln-
ton. With all the power of his facile
pen he endeavored to make William
Goebel's name the synonym of popular
detestation; AMI there can be little
doubt that he himself started the move.
ment against Goebel which accumulated
in intensity until political fanatic, or
possibly some friend of John Sanford's,
was nerved to fire the fatal bullet that
has brought anarchy into Kentucky.
There is no man in Kentucky who is so
little entitled to be heard in this emer-
gency as Henry Watterson. lie has long
since ceased to command the respect of
reputable men in Kentucky. Goebel was
so handicapped by his support in the re.
cent election that he had to repudiate
him from the stump. A man of fine pow
ers originally, he is now reminiscence
and wreck. He wanders around the
country political maverick. lie is a
man without country or a conscience
lie talks of political convictions and he
never had one in his life lie endeavored
to betray the Democratic party in 1896,
and to rule it in 1899. lie has won the
proud distinction of being repudiated by
all wings of all parties in Kentucky and
of enjoying the confidence of none. If
there ever was a time when the public
would have appreciated an impediment
in his speech it is now. From this time
on Henry WaltersOn should be turned
over to the censor, and his gable should
be blotted out.

THE ORIGINS OF TRUE GEOLOGY.

The fundamental idea underlying geo.
logical thought is the history of the earth.
Now, until the beginning of the p esent
century the earth was not supposed to
have any history. 1t was supposed to
have been made at once, out of hand,
about GOO years ago, and to have remain
ed substantially unchanged ever since as
the necessary theatre of human history.
Changes were known to have taken place
and in less degrees to be still taking place,
but these were not supposed any law surh
as is necessary to constitute history, ard
thus to constitute n science distinct from
geography. Button, about the middle of
the last century, did indeed bring out
dimly the idea of an abyss of time, pre-
ceding the advent of man, in which the
earth was inhabited by animals and plants
wholly different from those of the present
day, but he was compelled by the priests
of the Sorbonne to retract these supposed
irreligious views.-From "a Century Of
Geology" Ivy Professor Joseph LIE Conte,
