Cubnns Free on Christmns.

1t is expected at the war department
that Cuban independence will be an &C.
complished fact by next Christmas. The
next step in order, now that the Platt
amendment is adopted, is for the consti-
tutional convention to pass bill which
will provide for the election of all the
officers necessary to set up an independ-
ent government.
1t is thought that the convention can
dispose of this bill in a week or two, as
it is supposed to be already prepared,
and that will complete the labors OF the
body.
1t will probably be necessary to main
tain some United States troops in Cuba
after the new officials are inaugurated,
and until the Cubans have had time to
set up Cuban military force. The
length OF this stay probably will depend
upon the wishes of the Cubans them
selves.

A pine tree and birch have grown so
close together in Woolwich, Me-, that
one trunk serves for both sending forth
pine branches on one sic and birch on
the other. The union seems happy one,
in spite of the fact that the two trees are
as widely separated by the botanists as
two well can be, and the gnarled branch
es OF the pine embrace the birch in a
most aftect1onate manner.

Our Fastest Battleship.

When the battleship Illinois is turned
over to the United States there will be
added to the list ofheavy fighting shipsi
the navy the fastest craft of her class in
the world. Thursday over the Cape Ann
course, the bulky warship had her official
trial and her average speed for the four
hours of steady steaming under forced
draught was 17-45 knots per hour. This
breaks the record of 1901 established bv
her sister ship, the Alabama, and again
1t ecllpses the most recent record of1712
made by the Wisconsin, on the Pacific, a
vessel OF the same type, design and di.
mansions. Not only did the Illinois
prove fast, but she steered more easily
than any of the battleships ever tried off
the New England coast, and with both
engines going full speed ahead she went
whjrling around in 300.yard circles at
an angle of heel of 80 degrees, in the un-
usual time of minutes and 10 seconds.

terms as men. More than that here.
after, the sexes are to stand in an equal

FIGURES BLOCK THE WAY.
Many Pupils with Bright Minds Are
Retarded by Their Inaptitude
in Mathematics.

In countless cases an inaptitude for
mathematics has prevented child
from obtaining a liberal education in
the regular institutions appointed to
render that service. Mathematics has
been the impossible barrier that has
blocked the way and thwarted the
ambition of many brilliant mind. In
fact, it is frequently the brilliant
mind that is most incapable of that
branch of learning. Especially is this
true of highly imaginative persons.
Many a duh plodder through life
finds pleasure and recreation in the
solution of reconcile mathematical
problems, while many genius who
has gained immortality in art and lit
erature or invention may not be able
to multiply two simple fractions.
1t hardly seems just that such a
one, because of this lacking faculty,
should be debarred from the develop
ment of those other faculties in
which he may show unusual or even
phenomenal strength, says the Bos-
