Europe and America.
From AplsIce's Magazine.
The mightiest and sWftest fleet Of
merchantmen in the world weaves its
way through the deep, but devious,
channel leading to the Narrows, New
York harbor's picturesque gate to the
sea- The value of these matcheSs
craft is close To $l50,Oo0,0OO. More than
a third of This amount is represented
by twenty-five magnificent twin screw
ships, including the Oceanic of the
White Star line, the Deutschland of the
Hamburg American line, the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse and the kronprinZ
Wilhelm of the North German Lloyd
line, the cunarders Campania and lu-
cania, and the American liners St
Louis and ST. Paul. Besides the inn
mense cargoes that this trans Atlantic
fleet discharges at the great piers of
the metropolis, it lands yearly from
l25OO0 10 liO,o0O voyagers, mostly re-
turning Americans, i'm the first and
second cabins, and from 0,O0Q to 800
600 steerage passengers, nearly all im-

On the covering there were four dark

is white siik-like and about four MILL
meters thick. zone could make a nice
winter co@t out of this" said the in
ventor, ''if it was not so expensive, but
a shield of this stuff worn under the
shirt will suffice for the purposes for
which it is intended-the protection
of rulers and public men in general.
The shield should cover all vital parts.
The head could be protected by skull
cap, and the face, if necessary, by fan
or an umbrella of this material.
"And if you want to go still further,
the cover of the carriages used by the
executive, as well as the curtains and
hangings of his box at the theater
might be manufactured of this bullet
and dagger proof material"
So sure is Szcezepanik of the invul-
nerability of the cloth that he offered
himself as target to the correspond
ent, who declined. There are more
than dozen men in the factory who
feel as strongly as 1 on the subject"
he said
"President Carnot and the unhappy
empress of Austria died by the assas-
sins knife" continued the inventor.
Indeed, at one time the European Sc
cret police gather ED Conformation to the
effect thai anarchists had decided to
abandon altogether revolver, shotgun
and internal machines for the dagger.
Hence, life protector of this kind
would not be perfect unless respond
ing to all possible emergencies.
There" pointing to drawer, "you will
findan assortment of stillettos, bowies,
butchers knives, and several other
sorts of knives. Select any weapon
you please and perforate my cuirass if
you can"
A brigand's knife was used first, then
a bowie was used, bread knife, and a
shoemaker's knife afterwards, but the
point of neither penetrated the silk ma
terial by one hundredth part of a milf
meter, even though the newspaper man
did the stabbing with all the force and
strength at his command.
AS to the why and wherefore, Szceze-
panik would only say this: "It's all in
the weaving. The method of weaving
adopted paralyzes concussion by dis
tributing the shock over the entire area
of the garment. OF course the materi-
al is especially selected for the pur-
pose"
Szcezepanik is sure that his inven-
ten will at last furnish rulers and pub
lie men with the niece ssary life pro-
rector necessary as long as there are
anarchists and other lunatics in the
world. As intimated, the price of the
cloth is great, for the present at least,
but that cuts no figure. Eventually the
dagger and bullet proof material may
become cheap enough to revolutionize
warfare, but that is long ways of.

would have to follow him and get hurt

Mandy felt a pride in her lover, and
her father had nodded approvingly.
Two hours later Abe Howard rode
up to the cabin on borrowed animal,

Sans threatening rifle had led it
away. He even stopped long enough
to cut the bride reins of Sans horse,
which stood near his own, and he also
hurled at his enemy several insulting
epithets at that time fashionable in
the mountain districts. Sam had
stood in the cabin door, his rifle point

his host had noticed a certain agita-

THOMAS GOODE JONES.
Seat on the Federal Bench by
President Roosevelt

Former Gov. Thomas Goode Jones
of Alabama, whom President Roose-
welt has just appointed United States
district judge, is a distinguished dem
ocrat, with distinctly modern ideas
of southern progress and southern
political necessities. Descended from
an illustrious family of old Virginia,
he is beyond dispute a conservator
of the south, while his free and adj
vanced opinions in the matter of ne
gro rights and promiscuous lynching
place him in the very forefront of
the newly awakened state builders of
Dixie. Judge Jones was born in Ma
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-11-07

con, Ga, 81 years ago, and was
brought up in Alabama. He fought
nobly on the field of battle for the
confederacy and received the pers on
al thanks of Gen. Lee. After the war
he took up the practice of law and
was at times a journalist, a legis-
lator, an officer of militia and an ora
tor whose eloquence thrilled those
who heard it. In 1890 he was elected
governor of Alabama, and in 1896 he
led the movement for sound money
in his state, presiding at the conven-
ton which sent its delegates to In
dianapolis. He is known as a pro-
gressive, yet conservative, and emf
nently forceful and patriotic citizen.

THE SINGING OF THE BROOK.

A little brook runs from its source,
And down a messy vale ii springs;
1t chatters on its sparkling course
And over sands and pebbles sings.
It runs beside grassy lawn,
Where loiter little children gay,
And as they hear it ripple on,
Its song to them is joyous play.
Two lovers go their happy way,
While cloudless is the sky above;
As by the singing brook they stray
1t sings to them a song of love.
A weary farmer homeward comes,
And as a deep sigh heaves his breast
He pauses by the brook that huns
To him gentle song of rest.
"A war-worn soldier passes by,
But still the brook doth never cease;
The sternness fades from out his eye
As comes to him its song of peace.
A wandering pilgrim, bent and gray,
Who DER the world is used to roam,
Beside the brook stops in his way
1t sings to him song of home
SO ever comes Dame Natures voice
With some sweet musing to impart
In language soothing, calm and choice,
To suit the thoughts of every heart.
Thus Natures grand, unrivaled lays
Doth this beguiling brook rehearse;.
II ever sends its note of praise
To Him who planned the universe.

Journal.

the people of Bulgaria have been very
