The English Destroyer WIPER"

There has been some lively smashing
OF ocean records lately, but the per-
Torrance of H. NJ S. Viper represents
an epoch in the history of marine en-
cheering. That boat at one fell
swoop, knocked five or six knots from
the best record, when she attained a
speed of forty-three miles an hour.
The Viper is 210 feet long, twenty
one feet wide and twelve feet nine
inches deep, and she has the usual tor
pedo and gun armament for vessels of
her class. She carries four screw shafts
in all, and on each of these there are
two propellers. She is therefore driv-
en- through the water by eight propel-
lers. The Turbinia had nine propel-
lers, a larger number of these than or
dinarily are required to make use of
the high power developed by these
engines.
Down below the Viper carries two
distinct sets of engines on each side,
directly coupled to the propeller shafts.
Two shafts on one side are driven by

Dorothys illness is running the
usual course Of scarlet fever. And in
the ten days that have elapsed since
the disease was first positively recog-
nized the Governor and Mrs. Yates
nave had the anxious sympathy of
many friends. Inquiries have been
numerous from all over the state as
to the little ones condition-inquiries
which Mrs. Yates has been only too
happy to answer hopefully because of
little DOrothy's own favorable reports
OF her condition. Beside their imme-
date personal friends Governor Yates
and his wife find that the public has
shown their anxiety over the little
ones condition. For days reports or
bulletins were issued by the doctors in
attendance, for the public information.
But Dorothy in some way learning OF
these, has taken the issuing of the bull
letins into her own hands, and last
Saturday night announced that she ex-

mother show that she is in far better

are fairly elated over her improvement.
They feel that Dorothy is recovering
rapidly and hope to have her with
them again soon-but not until all
danger of infection has passed. This
precaution is all the more necessary

all parts of the state who visit the

Meantime both Governor and Mrs.
Yates declare that the device of plac-

would otherwise have been compelled
to undergo. The plan is new one
and of course can only be put into exc
cution by persons of means. 1t is be-
lieved in Springfield that in Dorothys
case it is the first time it has been
put into use anywhere.

Plan for Oily mpian Games.

BUSINESS men and members of the
faculty OF the University OF Chicago
who attended dinner at the Chicago
club recently, strongly urged the effort
to secure the Olympian games for Chi

question of expense was discussed and
the location of stadium seemed to
be the only apparent drawback. The
lake front was suggested as a good
site and the committee instructed to
see if ground could be secured there.

Their nor mother is permitted to visit
her, for the child has scarlet fever.
Thus only has the quarantine been

how strictly quarantine is enforced in
other homes, cannot conscientiously
resist enforcement in his own. Thus
he and his wife are barred from the
bedside of their child, but they may
talk to her nevertheless.
The disease was diagnosed as scarlet

A Well-knOwn insurance company once

COLOR OF GOLD COINS.
Warm, Deep Tinge Of Yellow in Present
Day Coins.

Warm, Deep Tinge Of Yellow in Present.
Day Coins.
Some time ago Frenchman placed
together a number of gold coins of
French mintage of the beginning, mid
die and end of the last century. He
was much surprised to see that they
differed in color He set about finding
out the reason for this difference, and
the results of his investigations have
been published in La Nature. There is
a paleness about the yellow of the ten
and twenty franc pieces which bear
the eftigies of Napoleon l. and Louis
XVIII. that is not observed in the gold
or later mintage. One admirer of
these coins speaks of their color as
beautiful paleness' and expresses re-
greet that it is lacking in later coins.
The explanation of it is very simple,
says an exchange. The alloy that en-
tered into the French gold coins of
those days contained as much silver
as copper, and it was the silver that
gave the coins their interesting pale
ness. The coins of the era OF Napo-
leon III. were more golden in hue. The
silver had been taken out of the alloy.
The gold coins Of today have a still
warmer and deeper tinge of yellow.
This is because the Paris mint, as well
as that in London. melts the gold and
copper alloy in Theoretically sealed
boxes, which prevents the copper from
being somewhat bleached, as it always
is when 1t Is attached by hot air; SO

AN APPRoPRIATE NAME.

Allied Party is an appropriate name for the aggregation just formed in Kan sas. All the odds and ends of politics, or which Kansas Is the breeding place; all who oppose Democracy and are at outs with the Republican organization as It now exists, are members in full fellow ship of this combination. While they are not at present held together by the cohesive power of public plunder, as some old statesman expressed It, they are banded together for the purpose and with the hope of controlling the offices If they fail in that design their party will disintegrate and wait for another chance.
 Kansas has always been the home Of freaks, animate, inanimate and political No human being can forecast Kansas politics further than that it will not be like anything else anywhere. The air or the climate seems to be favorable to the production of abnormal objects and the politics of it's inhabitants keep pace with its material monstrosities. The party as they call it, may succeed in securing the offices, and that is all they care for.
