having a piece of linen wrapped around
the bulb and kept thoroughly saturated
with water, especially before taking
an observation. To get the true read
ings, both instruments should be mo-
tionless, and at the same rate of speed
at each reading, SO as to obtain the
true amount of moisture present, and
eliminate a difference in, the force of
evaporation. If the whirling of tbs
thermometers did not take place the
wind force and evaporation would be
different at each reading, and it would
be impossible TO get the absolute
amount of moisture present.
BY relative humidity we understand
the condition of the air when consid-
cred in connection with the temper
allure. Thus it will be seen that humid
ity involves two elements; first, the
amount of vapor present; second, the
amount which would thoroughly satu-
rate the air at the actual temperature
when the reading is made. 1t is upon
the ratio of these elements that our
sensations of dryness and moisture are
experienced. The greater the difference
observed in the reading of the dry and
wet thermometers, the greater the dry
ness of the air: the closer the reading,
the greater the moisture. If they
read exactly the same it would mean
that the air was thoroughly saturated
and held all the moisture it was posi-
BILE to contain at that temperature, that
is, 100 per cent. When it reaches that
point, however, condensation in the
shape of rain, snow, sleet or fog must
take place, either heavy or light, to
make place for the moisture that is
being constantly taken up by the force
of evaporation. which goes on at all
times under all Temperatures and con-
ditions. 1t is not to be understood that
it is necessary for the humidity to
reach 100 per cent. before condensation
takes place; rain or snow may fall
when the humidity registers 40 per
cent, or even less, but condensation in
variably takes place in some form when
100 per cent. of humidity is registered.

When the Russians accept a ship

He went back with Red Riding Hood
and found the man just where she had
left him. The wolf was still glaring at
him and the foam from his Jaws was
flecking the mans hair and face, but
the beast had not injured him.
Now, my man, think you'd better
come along of me an learn 'ow to be-
have to ridies."
The wolf was induced to let the man
up, and then Red Riding Hood made
very characteristic offer.
IT'S very hot and you must be
thirsty. Won't you both have a glass
of milk?" said she.
Thanks, miss; / don't care If I do"
said the policeman. But l think that
my friend ERE can get along without
milk until e as explained 'ow e came
to i'll treat such as you. Maybe the
wolf would like some"
But the wolf grinned as much as to
say: milk is not for my kind" So
Red Riding Hood pumped down In the
middle of the street and drew enough
milk to satisfy the policeman's thirst.
1t was not good for the COW to be par
TALLY MIXED, but that was something
she did not know. 1t was good for the
policeman to get the fresh milk, and he
knew that very WELL and when he had
drunk he thanked her and then march
ed the man away. and l don't believ
he'll try to steal any more cows.
The wolf was the hero of the even
ing, and Robin Taylor bought him an
entire haunch of venison, and he left
nothing but the bones. So you see that
man escaped horrible fate, thanks to
the mercy of Red Riding Hoods wolf.

things about that animal, speak up and

water that lies just beyond the Five
Fathom banks, perhaps sixteen miles
off shore. Then, between the northeast
and southwest, light vessels of the
Bank, known to be just liz knots
apart, the first speed run will be made,
and when all is found satisfactory a
northeast course will carry the vessel
far away from the track of any regular
liners or coasters, and the swarthy
Russian sailors will be given their
chance to participate in the affair.
This they will do by firing each gun
at nothing but the water. first with half

pounds of the highest power smokeless
powder to hurl their $50 pounds pointed
cylinders of steel, and the crash and

than a small earthquake.

This rough treatment made him very
angry, indeed, and he forgot what Is

to Red Riding Hood and shaking his

He acted as If he meant II, too. He

big with anger.
The man saw him too late to escape.
The wolf was on him in an instant and
knocked him down like a nine pin.

The coming first trial of the big bat
tleship is called preliminary,or build
ers' test, but it is much more interest
ing, and far more important than the
final acceptance trial of twelve hours,
for it really shows the qualities of the
ship for the first time, and in addition,
every gun will be tested, feature to-
tally eliminated from United States
warship trials. Their guns keep ST.
lence until long after the vessel Is in
commission, then the firing trial is or
dered.

terry, and the big guns are novel TO
American eyes, for the Russians man
ufacture all their own heavy ordnance
at the Obrukoff works. They are really
a modification of the famous French
Canet type, and have practically the
same style of breech block, and like all
such weapons, are fired by electricity
and loaded by machinery except for
the pushing of the shell into the yawn-
ing breech.
There are four twelve-inch, twelve
six-inch, and twenty three-inch guns In
the main battery, while the secondary
group is made up OF twenty forty-seven
milliineter Hotchkiss rapid-fire cannon
Every one of these has to be tested,
NOT because the Russians fear the eff
cheney of the guns themselves, but to
enable them to learn just how the car
riages and the fittings stand the strain,
and also what sort of a gun platform
the vessel is.
Therefore the Cramps will man the
ship with a crew from their yards, all
of them skilled engineers and firemen,

commander will take aboard gun

and find out what a poor opinion peo-
pie have OF him.
The very fact that Robin Taylor al
lowed Red Riding Hood to take the
wolf along shows he must have been
a decent beast.
But whatever he may have been in
times past, when he reached London
the damp English air had the effect of
making him so good natured that Miss
Hood often let him run without muz-
zle. and one day he was able to repay
her kindness.
There was a man who owned a dime
museum in Liverpool, and he was al
ways on the lookout for curiosities. He
happened to see the cow that Jumped
over the moon one day when she and
Jack Sprat and Tom Tucker were do
ing the National Gallery, and he at
once decided to kidnap her some time
and put her in gold cage, and exhibit
her to the inhabitants of Liverpool,
together with his three-headed giant
and his calf that could play the piano
with one hoof.
The opportunity presented itself in a
few days. Red Riding Hood was never
so happy as when she was doing some
kind action for old women. She had
heard that a woman living at--well, I
can't remeber the place, but it was on
the Thames and little way out of the
crowded part of London She had heard
that this woman was very fond of fresh
milk. but was too poor to buy as much
as she would like, so after that, once a
week. she drove the COW five miles to
the old woman's house. guarded by
the wolf but not otherwise accompa-
MED, and after she had MIXED seven
quarts of steaming milk into a shiny
nail. she left It by the woman's bed
side, freshened up her pillow. and dec
Grated her room with nosegays and
then returned home, while the woman
sang her praises until she came again
next week with more milk.
This dime museum owner knew now
regular Miss Hoods visits were SO ne
determined to lay In walt some morn
ing and steal the COW. But he reckoned
without the wolf.
Red Riding Hood started out one
lovely morning, walking alongside the
COW and singing a merry song that her
grandmother had taught her. 1t did
not strike Londoners as odd that she
would walk along the streets with her
COW, nor that she should sing as she
walked. They knew that she was not
like other girls, and she had such a
sweet voice and such pretty face that
she was one of the sights and sounds
of London.
At one point she had to go through
a very lonely alley, and II was here
that the man met her.
Good morning, Miss Hood" said he.
