NAVAL FIGHT OF THE FUTURE.

to attack from above and from be-
meath by enemies which it cannot
reach.
He draws, therefore, an interesting
and thrilling picture of naval bat
tie of the future, which includes a
fight between flying machine and
submarine boat. This, he says, is
not so improbable as it seems.
The flying machine can, he says,
see the submarine beneath the sur
face when it would be invisible to
men on a vessel, just as the fish
hawk can locate it's submerged VIC
tim. AS the aeroplane can move
with celerity, it can hover over the
submarine until the latter is com
PEELED to come to the surface for air
or rises for attack. Then it can drop
dynamite bombs upon the submarine
and train rapid-fires upon it's thin
she'll
The submarine, however, will not
be quite helpless. A well-aimed shot
from its bow rapid-fres (Which can
be uncovered the moment the nose OF
the boat rises above the ~surface)
would instantly put the flying ma
chine out of business, thus clearing
the way for other submarines to
rise to the surface or for beyy of
friendly flying machines to come up.
Meanwhile, there would be no vessels
in sight.
The critic does not, however, utter
ly extingush ships. They can, he
SAYS. act in a subordinate capacity,
dependent upon the preliminary fight
ing which must be done between fly
ing machines and submarines to clear
the mouths of harbors and make
navigation safe. 1t is admitted that
a big dynamite or guncotton bomb
dropped from the air upon the deck
of the strongest warship afoat might
be likely to destroy it. Moreover, q
submarine getting home single tor
pedo upon the bottom Of such ship
would sink it.
But naval officers lever conserva-
tive and properly waiting for DEM
onstrated superiority before accept
ing so-called improvements) comfort
themselves with the reflection that
command of the air and of the sub
marine world is far from being ac-
tually achieved, and that so far as
anybody can see navies will rcmaiD
in existence for few years yet.

SUMMER MILLINERY.
HRta of Every shape and Unlimited
Variety In the Trimming
This Season.


Woman's weakness for new hats 10
traditional and she will forego many
other necessaries of dress to gain the
distinction which new and stylish
hat gives to her appearance. To wear
an old-style hat is an insult to her
taste in dress as well as her discrim-
ination in the matter of what goes
furthest in the way of improvement
in style, so the millinery department
is always source of interest to her,
says the New York Sun.
There is nothing wanting in variety
this season, for there is every kind
of shape and unlimited variety in
the trimming. The Gainsborough
hat, varied somewhat in the turn of
the brim and the mode of trimming,
is one of the leading favorites. 1t
has q fiat crown and wide brim,
which in the soft flexible straws is
capable of many manipulations, and
feathers are the prevailing decora-
ton. H}
The hat with double brim is one
of the most distinctive novelties. 1t
| is treated in various ways with or
| without flowers between the edges,
but always with the tuck of black
| velvet in some form, usually in bow
falling on the hair at the back with
u profusion of flowers also at the
back and nearly forming half of the
hat. This particular style of double
brim has the appearance of being
doubled over half from the back,
where it is separated from the
| crown.
| Loops of velvet falling over the
hair are special feature of trim
ming, but there are many ways of us
ing velvet ribbon in latticed and
crossed designs. One black crinolinc
hat with wide brim has bands of
black velvet ribbon around the crown
tied in a hanging bow at the back,
and the flowers are pink roses ar
ranged nearly on the edge of the
brim.
One of the greatest charms of the
summer millinery is the light weight
of the hats, making them so comfort
able to wear. A very pretty hat in
the, thrce-cornered shape, of white
hair braid, has a piping of black vel
vet around the edge. At the back and
sides are rosettes of velvet ribbon,
under the brim, and one long white
plume with a scarf of lace forms the
trimming.
Black tucked null is used to face
the brims of some OF the white hats
trimmed lavishly with white roses.
Shirred pink chiffon is also pretty
facing for white hat trimmed with
white roses. Pink and red geraniums
are very popular flowers, also pop
pics and cornflowers, and as for
fancy quills they are used in every
way imaginable.
Shirt-waist hats and hats which are
tailor-made show greater variety
than ever before. They are not SC
severe as formerly consequently
much more becoming. Spotted silk
| qui!ls and wings adorn them very at
tractively, but the latest and smart

hat is grass green berege yelling OF

INSECTS FOR FOOD.
Men of Science Proclaim Cocironches
and Locusts Rare Daintles, III
Properly Prepared.

A French entomologist, M. Dagin,
recommends insects rs an article of
food, lie speaks with authority, hay-
ing not only read through the whole
literature of insect eating, but having
himself tasted several hundreds of
species raw, boiled, fried, broiled,
roasted and hashed. He has even eat
en- spiders prepared according to the
following recipe: Take plump spi-
der, remove the legs and skin. Rub
over with butter and swallow. How
ever, he does not recommend them,
but this may be prejudice on his part.
He states two objections to spiders.
They are not insects, and they feed on
animal food.
Cockroaches are foundation for a
delicious soup. NJ. Dagin follows the
recipe given by Senator Testelin in a
speech delivered in the senate on Feb
ruary 12, 1878: Pound your cock
reaches in mortar; put in a sieve, and
pour in boiling water or beef stock"
Connoisseurs prefer this to real bisque.
NJ. Wilfrid de Fonvielle, the French sci
enlist, prefers the cockroaches in the
larval state. The perfect insect may
be shellsd and eaten like shrimp;
that way DR.. CASTER, member of the
national assembly of 1s4s, used to eat
them.
Caterpillars are light food of easy
digestion. Not only African and
American native races but Frenchmen
appreciate them. NJ. de Lalande, as
tronomer, had dinner every Saturday
with the zoologist, Quatremere d'Isjon-
vale. Nine. dIsjonvalle, who knew his
tastes, collected in the afternoon all
the caterpillars she could find in her
garden and served them on plate to
her guest. The most popular insect
food is the locust. 1t Is eaten fried,
Tried in the sun, ground in -four, broiled
(among the Beduin), boiled in milk "a
Morocco recipe), or fried and served
with rice as in Madagascar. The Jesuit
Father Cambou thinks that locust flour
might become popular in Europe as
condiment. Travellers opinions on To-
Gusts differ. Amics finds they taste
like shrimps, Niebuhr like sardines,
livingston like caviare.

LIKE TO GO TO FUNERALS.
Many New York Women Make Prac-
tice of Attending All the sory-
ices They Can.

Undertakers aay that hundreds of
people make practice of going around
from church to church to attend the
various funeral services. 1t is a no.
tion of recent 81 Iowth, but it is becom-
ing very popular, says the New York
Sun. IaB uHilefttf
The special attraction in the case OF
Catholic churches is said TO be the fine
music which usually attends the cele-
bration of a solemn highmass for the
repose of the soul of the dead. Who're
the services of more than two clergy
men are employed the'attraction is all
the greater, the undertakers say.

how it was that the same faces were
to be seen at SO many church funerals.

number of women make it rule to
scan the death columns every morning
to pick out what promises to be fash

"Some of them go to Brooklyn and
Jersey even to satisfy their craving
for pomp and sweet music. The mere
| fact that in many church funerals q
card of admission is required does not
seem to keep them away either. The
sexton Of one of the biggesf churches
on Fifth avenue told me that he knew
more than 500 women who make q
practice of attending church funerals.
He added that it would be impossible
almost to drag these same women
to church wedding. There is some
thing so magnetic in church funerals
as to be simply Irresistible to them
Why ii is l can't say" l1' t4i
The pastor of one of the biggest
churches in Brooklyn was asked to
! give an opinion as to the influence
which induces women to attend church
funerals indiscriminately, and he re-
piled that it was weakness to seeand
be seen, rather than any desire to lis,

service. ..f s..

man, "that some of these women attire
Themselves in mourning whenever they

Linuid Air for nInctine.

In the new Smplon tunnel expert
ments have been made with liquid air
for blasting purposes. The cartridges
consisted Of wrappers filed with par
afIin and charcoal soaked with liquid
air. When placed in the shot holes
they were detonated with guncotton
primers. The use Of these cartridges
was discontinued because they had to
be fired within a few minutes after be-
ing taken out of the liquid, else their
power was gone. But the problem OF
adapting liquid air to blasting is still
being studied in Germany.

Planted by Martini. Washington.

One of the Interesting things at
Williamsburg, is a yew tree, one Of
the few in, the United States, which
stands within the grounds of the Vir-
ginia state insane asylum. 1t was
planted by Martha Washington IN
the day she became engaged to her
husband, and symbolizes devotion
and constancy. The asylum occupies
the site of her mansion, which is
called "The Six-Ghimney House" and
was one of the finest in Virginia, but
was burned many years ago. All that
remains of it is the cookhouse, which
was detached, and thus escaped the
flames. 1t is now used as a Toulouse
for the gardener. A pasture adjoin-
ing the grounds of the asylum is
strewn with charred brick which are
said to have been from the walls OF
Martha Washington's house, and
many of them have been carried way
as mementoeB by curious visitors..--

GOD kNoWETH BEST.

The world is as we find 1t,
whether for good or Ill;
Ihe path is oft-tlmes stony,
Leads oft-times up the hill;
hut when we reach the summit,
And find there peace and rest,
we, then, forget tie journey
And feel, God knoweth best.
The world is as we take It,
Whether for Ill or good;
Ine path lies through the brambles,
And often through the wood;
But If we look beyond II.
Where shines the light OF day,
Wen braveiy journey onward;
God knpweth best"-we say.
The world is as we make It;
We reap both good and Ill;
The seed we sow In passing, e
Up-spring from wood and hill;
Before we reach the summit,
The flowers may be but weeds.
Unless we tread with gladness
Gods path-He knows our needs.

New Time Card.

A new time card went into ef-
feet on the Wabash last Sunday
by which No. Is, formerly due
at Keytesville station at 1929 p.
M, now arrives at 1:21 p. M,
and is made mail train, but still
does local passenger work be-
tween Moberly and Kansas City.
This train meets at Brunswick
with the afternoon Dude for
Triplett, Pattonsburg and other
points on the Omaha division of
the Wabash.
"The Dude,'' which formerly
ran from Pattonsburg to Bruns-
wick in the morning, now
comes down the Omaha division
in the afternoon and connects
with No. 6, the st. Louis train
which leaves Kansas City at $40
p. m. and passes Keytesville at
8:15 p. m.
There are no other changes of
which we are advised.
The chief objection that the
Keytesville people have to the
new order of things is that the
west bound and the east bound
day mail get in on the same
street car, there not being suffi-
cient time between No. IL, due al
this place at 1857, p. M, and
No. 13, due at 1 :21, for the car to
come up town from No. IL anc
get back to No. 13.
By the present arrangement
Brunswick is made the southern
terminus of the north line of the
Wabash from Brunswick to
