NAVY WITHOUT ENGINEERS.
Peculiar Condition Which Appears to
Threaten the Gov
ment.

II the opinion of John Edward jerks
be correct, the United States is threat
ened with the peculiar condition OF
being without naval engineers, and
this at q time when modern navies rep
resent the highest mechanical develop
ment, when ships of war are floating
bulls of machinery, and when those
who operate them must know more
about engineering than about naviga-
ton. The situation Is not deliberate
blight, although it might well have
been a wreck Of personnel and system
accomplished by the enemies to the sue
cess of the naval establishment. 1t Is
a foreboding illustration OF the calam
itous compromise which follows tire
less controversy. 1t is the result OF the
protracted and pitiless warfare OF line
and staff in our navy, and it constitutes
not only fatality of naval engineering
but O. distinct menace to the service.
The controversy was a hot and bitter
one. and it interfered with contem-
plated legislation intended to correct
the evils and inconsistencies OF naval
nersonpel. This obstruction to the en-
actment of corrective laws finally ter
minated while Mr.. Roosevelt was IS
sistant secretary of the navy in the or
oanization of board with that official
as its head, to formulate a plan for the
increase Of the navy and the reHet OF
its personnel. The branches affected
mainly were the line and the engineer
corps, and the approved measure. as In
corporated on the statute books, pro-
vided for the amalgamation of the line
and engineer corps. Officers below a
certain grade were to be transferred TO
the line. Other officers were to elect
to remain as engineer officers or to be-
come line officers, and still other en-
gineer officers, those Of the highest
grade, were to continue on engineering
duty, but all Of them were TO have line
titles. The course at the naval academy
has been changed in accordance with
the so-called personnel law so as to at
ford the cadets knowledge of steam
engineering, while the special course
in that study has been abandoned.
With the amalgamation of the line and
the former engineer corps, there will
be eventually and at an early day no
engineer officers on board ship who are
trained in the rapidly developing and
constantly broadening specially OF
naval enginering.-N. Y. Independent

Regularity In the Order OF Injuries,

Regularity I'm the Order or Injuries
A queer fact, we'll known by medical
men connected with hospitals, is that
the doctors can tell with almost abso-
lutte certainty which classes of fatalities
and accidents fit in with given days
and even hours. One of the doctors
connected with a leading hospital in
the center of the city said the other
day: I'VE will begin with Monday
That day furnishes by far the highest
proportion of mishaps to work people,
but l must say that this proportion
Is rapidly diminishing. Nearly all the
attempted suicides come in during the
very early part Of each day, and the
first accident patches early in the day
have a large number Of men who work
on scaffolds among them. Hardly
morning goes by without q scaffold cas-
ualty case. After II o'clock in the
morning most of the cases arise from
street accidents, and when evening
comes cases arising from drunken rows
and deliberate assaults begin to come
in. Nearly oil the domestic cases
where wives have been assaulted and SO
on-are late night and Saturday ones.
1t would take me a long time to group
the regular order of accidents as they
come in day after day."-Philadelphia

According to its natural meaning it
would seem that a cold was an affection
produced by exposure to low tempera,

very we'll be farther from the truth than
this. Colds are not nearly so common

The Cave Of DionyKIus.

One Of the most remarkable caves
IN existence is that in Sicily, not far
from Syracuse, which is known as the
Ear of Dionysius. 1t is said that it
was constructed by Dionysius the
Elder in the fourth century, B. c. 1t
was shaped in the form of a human
ear, $50 feet long and 80 feet high
and so arranged that the slightest
noise made at any one part was trans
mitted to the central part correspond
ing with the drum OF an ear. Here
the tyrant was accustomed to inn
prison all those of whom he was sus'
picious and he would sit in the cen
trail room and listen to the talk of the
prisoners to ascertain if his suspi'
cions were well-founded. The work

cave are Observation-Disclosures Free

GLASS AND CHINA.
A Few Suggestions Concerning the
Selection of Table and
Pantry Pieces.

One of the first things to provide for,
both in the kitchen and pantry, and in
fact everywhere else in the house, is
place for everything and everything
should be kept in its proper place;
there should be no little corners or
shelves where broken, cracked or
Clipped glass, china or other debris
could be stuffed away. The next es-
sentiabi&H list should be kept OF
every possession. This list should be
gone over twice year, especially that
portion of It which pertains to the
china and glass, and when necessary
added TO at such times; an appreciate
quantity need, however, never be add
ed should each article be replaced as
soon as il is broken.
To-day there is no excuse for ugly
china or glass good and pretty things
can be bought for as little money as
bad and ugly things. In selecting china
the plain white is most serviceable and
elegant and has this advantage that
should one or more pieces become
broken or chipped-nOthing detracts
more from the appearance Of table
than clipped china-they may be read
ily replaced. With decorated china this
is next to impossible and many n hand
some set is spoiled beyond redemption
because the vegetable dishes or other
important parts of the service are
broken and must be replaced by odd
pieces that in no way fit or harmonic
with the major part Of the set.
Plain white china insures cleanliness
and one never tires of 1t as one does Of
elaborate patterns and colors.
The glass for everyday use should az
as inexpensive as possible, for while
there is no need of best" china serv-
ice there certainly must be some "best"
glass held in reserve for special occa-
sions. For a small family dozen
tumblers for everyday use is generally
ample to leave out at one time--with
but O few glasses and little glassware
generally to look after at time there
| is less likelihood of breakage.
There is no reason why with even the
smallest expenditure the table APP
pointments should not be attractive
Nice things do not necessarily mean
expensive ones.-Housewife.

ARTISTIC AND SERVICEABLE.
A Variety of Useful and Ornamental
Tribes for Lovers of
Finery.

A dainty pincushion is made in the
following way: Make a cushion about
four inches wide and eight inches long,
stuffing the bran or sawdust in very
tightly to give round appearance.
Cover with light blue satin; over the
upper part lay piece of boiling cloth
on which flowers or jewel pattern has
been embroidered in colored flo. The
edge of the cushion is finished with
double ruffle of satin, cut on the bias
and wide enough to conceal the lower
part of cushion. Over the rufiie should
fall frill of flmy white lace.
To make a pretty shaving pad, cut
two pieces of green felt into the form
of a maple leaf, somewhat larger than
the natural size, and place between
them leaves of tissue paper cut the
same shape as the felt; hold in place
by a narrow ribbon passed through the
base of the leaves and tied with bow.
A nice lamp mat Is made of square
of green felt, with maple leaves of the
felt fastened to every corner. The
leaves are veined with yellow silk, and
green ribbon an inch wide conceals the
edges of the felt.
4 pretty toothbrush holder is made
of long piece of white linen turned up
at the bottom to form pocket, This
holds the brushes and is lined with
oilcloth, the outside being ornamented
ty a design worked in pale blue and
pink flo. The upper part of the piece
of linen is rounded off and folded over
so as to conceal the slightly protrud-
ing ends Of the brushes, and has the
word, "Toothbrushes" worked upon
It. in light blue flo. The edges OF
the toothbrush holder are finished in
button hole stitch or bound with mar
row light blue ribbon.
Auseful and pretty fancywork apron
is made of white art denim and is
about half the length of the skirt
when finished, being turned up about
nine inches at the bottom to form
three pockets; In these are kept
thread, scissors, etc. On the pockets
Is stamped some conventional design,
to be worked with colored flo. The
top of the apron is finished with hem
half an inch in width, with draw
string nserted.-Housekeep

Docking Horses.

Docking horses took its rise in the
dark days when bull and bear batting
were honored by place in the category
of sport, rightly now RELOCATED by law
to the catalogue of outrage. This Gus
;om of docking was once applied to
English roadsters, hunters and harness
horses. The only useful purpose it ever
served was in the Peninsular war, when
British dragons could be most easily
distinguished from French by their
cocktails. It fell into disuse with the
decline of road-coaches, and we owe
its uuwelcome revival to their partial

The Wonderful Hydra.

These are the pleasant ways Of the
freshwater hydra: If you cut him in
two, each half promptly lengthens
into a complete hydra. Turn him in
side out and in few hours his skin
is his stomach and his stomach is his
skin, and he is ready to do business as
before The hydra is scarcely more
than a bag with feelers about the
mouth of it. 1t can replace a feeler
in 90 hours. 1t makes somewhat
longer job when its body is cut in
two, but is equally successful. If cut
in two lengthwise the cut sides OF
each half sack close up, forming a
complete one. If cut in two crosswise
each end matches itself more slowly,
with a new head or tail as may be
needed.-N. Y. World.

PAYING INVESTMENT.
steel Roadway I'm Spain PAID tol
Itself In Two Years by Saving
In Road Repairs.

The American consul at Valencia,
Spain, reports these facts to the state
department at Washington: The ROAD
between Valencia and Grao is two miles
in length, and an average OF 3,2OO We
hicles pass over it daily. Until 1877 II
was constructed of flint stone. The
annual cost of keeping it in repair was
about $4,000 pesetas. AT the rate OF eX-
change at that datS this amounted TO
$5.47O. The construction of a steel
roadway was determined on, and the
annual cost of keeping in repair the
central zone of road thus relieved from
heavy trafic-which proceeds over the
steel rails-is now only $500 pesetas, or
about $3.50 at the present rate of eX-
change.
The tota! cost of the road laid was
6O,95O pesetas ($9,5O6). The expense in
detail was: Steel construction, 44,1OO
pesetas (s6,S9O); transportation and
LAYING steel construction, $3.50 pesetas
($5O); binding stone construction be-
tween rails and lateral zones, 1860
pesetas ($2,1OO; total, 60,95o pesetas
($9,5O6).
The rails, during the seven years they
have been in position, exhibit wear OF
1-25Oth of an inch yearly, and have not
required repairing.
Ample room is allowed between the
rails for two horses to walk abreast.
Horses do not appear to slip on rails OF
this construction. At each side of the
rail are layers of binding stones, the
paved road being higher than the face
of the rails. The municipality OF
Valencia is of opinion that the saving
in cost of repairs through a road of this
description pays for its construction in
a short time, and other and similar
roadways are in contemplation.
From various parts of Spain in
quiries have been made concerning this
road. / learn that similar construc-
ton was decided on at Alicante in 1898,
but was temporarily abandoned when
events caused exchange to increase. A
toll of (about) eight-tenths of cent
is charged each vehicle passing over
this roadway.
