best speed today, was 3o.S. rms was

WOMEN AS GUIDES.

The woman who contemplates a trip

to remember that one institution in the
British capital is of special value to
the visiting stranger. Reference is
made to the women guides. whose ex-
press purpose is to supply women tour
lists with members of their own sex 10
pilot them safely over the popular
tours of England and the. British isles
in fact, over any part of the Con-
tinent of Europe into which the tourist
may wish to penetrate. These guides
are women of culture and must speak
French, German and English, else their
applications for these rather agreeable
berths will not be considered. They
tip the servants, pay the cabby, point
out the distinguished people met on
the drives or promenades, and COM
ment intelligently upon all places of
interest as these come into view, with
which they must be familiar. They
must also be thoroughly Eau courant''
with the gossip of the town, must ac-
company their patronesses to the con-
cert or the theater If desired. They are
expected to work six hours daily, and
they receive but 10 shillings per diem
equivalent to about $3.50 of American
money, for which small sum they save
the traveller every possible annoyance
They are always trustworthy, sober

Universities and colleges all over the
country have been invited to cooperate
in the enterprise An intercollegiate
board of trustees has been named, in
Guiding one member from nearly every
prominent university, and it is expected
that the new institution will be ready
to begin work next autumn. The gov
eminent privileges that have been grant
ed can be utilized only by limited num-
Der of specially qualified investigators,
but the best graduates from each college
wills now have a chance to enjoy scien-
tific facilities in Washington which exist
nowhere else.
This is not exactly the national uni
versity which George Washington had in
mind when he urged that provision be
made for the promotion of science ana
literature, but it is the nearest approach
to it that is feasible under present con-
ditions. 1t will be maintained by private
funds and not by congressional appro-
priations. 1t viii be at once a fitting
memorial to the man whose name it
bears and an important addition to the
higher educational facilities of the ma
tion.-Chicago Tribune.

AN AUTOMATIC GUNNER

The automatic gunner" is the latest
device to be tried in the French navy.
Experiments were made on board the
warship Valmy, a London Express
Cherbourg message says, with a new
invention which is to do away with
gunners in training and firing the
guns after the first shot has been fir
ed. The automatic gunner was adapt
ed TO a 320-millimetre gun placed il
the turret of the varship The frs
shot set the mechanism in motion. The
gun was returned to the battery, the
breech was opened, the cartridge ex,
tracted, the new projectile introduced
and the gun made ready again to fire
Thea experiments were successful, thir-
ty Aots in succession being fired
There is nothing to suggest, however
that the automatic gunner can lay his
gun accurately and can be guaranteed
to make good shooting.

A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.

Within the last few days the final steps
nave been taken In the organization of
new university for post graduate work
at the national capital, to be known as
the Washington Memorial Institution.
Both in his annual message to Congress
and in his last will and testament George
Washington expressed an urgent desire
to see the city of Washington made a
national educational center. In recent
years many friends of higher education
have realized that the scientific and other
resources ofCthe government at Washing
ton ought 10 be made accessible to stu
dents and investigators.
The prime object of the organizers of
the Washington Memorial Institution Is
to erect a building and create a respon-
sible central agency through which
students may utilize these new privileges
