Morgan Says the Kaiser Is a
Great Mans In Sympathy

New York, July 81. Pierpont Nor

Herald When Mr.. Morgan, accom-
panied by his daughter, sauntered
through Inter den Linden he was easily

Asked about his meeting with the
kaiser. Mr.. Morgan said:

with the relations between the Trans
Atlantic Shipping company, which Mr..
Morgan has formed. and the German
kaiser is acquainted with ali the de-
tails, and shows a marvellous grasp OF
current affairs.
while we were on board the Meteor
he assumed charge and directed like
a lifelong seaman; in fact, he would
have led the Meteor in as a winner of
the first prize except for the large
handicap given the boat.
The kaiser sympathizes with our ef-
forts in doing away with unnecessary
competition between the various trans
Atlantic lines and effecting economy
II have no doubt the kaiser is be-

of Iong-continued differences between
husband and wife. Mrs. Yates was shot
in the forehead and in the upper lip.
Both bullets were fired from the side,

CHANGING THE ROSE.

armored, protected and unprotected. The difference between the three classes Is in the armor plating and the weight of the guns. The armored cruisers have heavy plat ing of steel to protect their engines and am- intuition. The protected cruisers are of light | CT weight and greater speed, but less heavily | protected by steel The unprotected cruisers | have to depend upon their coal supply for protection, as they have no steel covering. They carry lighter guns and have d much greater speed.
 The duties of the gunboats are various They are built to withstand the high seas and also to ply the rivers. These may be sent to all parts of the world. Gunboats are divided Into two classes-dynamite and pow der--being named for the kind of ammuni. tion they carry.
 Then there are the little torpedo boats that in former years have done such good serv. ice. These little boats, as their name i'm. piles, shoot or lay torpedoes. They are not built to withstand shot and shell; therefore they must do their work under cover of darkness. The use of the searchlight has caused the work of the torpedo boat to be. come very difficult and dangerous.
 The heavy fighting Is done by the great fighting machines which we call battleships, which are also divided into classes, called first, second and third class. One of the best known, and therefore easiest de- scribed, Is the Indiana, which has a dis placement of 10,2ss tons, an armor belt IS inches thick and carries 1,599 tons of coal; i; 1t has a speed of 15.5 knots. This ship Is supplied with guns of the largest size, be- sides rapid-fring gatling guns and two tor pedo tubes There are other ships of this size and many but little smaller.
 Then there are the great battering rams. These are built to bump with terrific force into any unprotected part of the enemy's ships. The ram Katahdin has a ramhead of cast steel extending back Il feet In verti- cal line. This Is supported by numerous braces. blow or ram from the Katahdin at full speed is said to equal blow from a hammer weighing 20o0 toaA

be a spur, so that the 100-yard dash could be run without turn. Provision was made for Jumping, pole yaulting and weight throwing.
 In the center of the field a seven-foot cir. cle was marked in whitewash for contest ants In the hammer, shot and discus events At the side of the track the boys made two jumping pits by taking up the sod and l0osening the earth. One of the pits was for broad jumping and the other for pole vaulting and running high jump. About eight feet from the broad-jump pit beam three feet in length was placed in the ground for the "take-off," or start
 The track itself required great amount of labor. After marking out its distance and breadth the sod was taken up and the entire surface graded, leveled and rolled. The corners were banked slightly to make them easier to take at full speed and to pre- vent accidents in the bicycle races. The track was then covered with a coat of cin- aers and thoroughly rolled. At the sides of the track the boys placed long strips of wood, upright and half buried In the ground, to retain the sod and mark the edges of the track. All this work took nearly a week, In spite of the fact that the entire club, 20 boys in all, spent three hours every afternoon at 1t. contractor was hired to cart away the refuse sod and earth and to supply the cinders used on the track. His services, the cinders and other expenses brought the cost of the track to nearly $S5. However, the track was well made, and would last many seasons with proper care.

for the club winning the relay race and banner to the team winning the greatest number of points. An entrance fee of % cents was charged for entries in each event, which partly paid for the prizes.
 The trial heats of the 10O-yard dash were run first. As there were 20 entries, four heats of five men each were run. The four second men also ran heat the winner of which qualified for the final with the other heat winners.
 At the same time the trials for the shot put were held. The field narrowed down to Alfred Davidson, George Graham, two of the Dauntless boys, and Dick Ives, of the lnvincbles, all of whom had bettered 2S feet. In the final puts Dick Ives won the event, at 34 feet inches, with George Graham second, at 31 feet.
 The mile run was won by Jones, of the Golden Knights, Jack Henderson securing second place by a desperate spurt. The time was minutes 32 seconds.
 The trial heats of the 75-yard dash were run of in the same manner as the 100yard event, leaving five men to run In the final. The quarter-mile run was won by Wilbur Wheatley, and Robert Van Voort, of the Golden Knights, secured second place. Time, 5S seconds.
 The 120-yard hurdle added two more points to the score of the Golden Knights, one or the Rangers being second. Perse- Verance failed to score in the 12 pound ham, mer throw also, and both places went to the Knights. (First place counted two points and second one.)

THE SKY FAMILY: A Nature Lesson.

Take front seat in an open car after dark and ride up town. We see the street lamps stretch far ahead till they seem to almost meet In the distance. Watch these distant lights and we see that they appear to spread apart as the car advances and then to pass on each side. We look out behind and see that they appear to be drawing closer and closer together as the car leaves them be hind. This curious spreading apart in front and closing together behind can be seen any night on any long, straight street. We see the same thing from a steamboat on the river, the shore lights separate in front and move together behind. If we were on car that moved so smoothly and silently that we could not decide whether 1t moved or not we could tell when 1t moved and which way 1t moved by looking at the lights in front and behind.
 We live on a big star called earth, and + is travelling at tremendous speed and yet so smooth Is the motion we can hardly be- lieve we move at all. We look of at the lights In the sky, and then we see the stars travelling from left to right, which shows that we are moving from right to left. We are also travelling at the same time swiftly round and round the sun. We say the sun stands still while we spin around him in giant oval path and all the other planets fly with us round him, each in Its own great path.
 Now comes a most curious matter Men who have been studying the stars tell us that certain groups of stars In the neighborbood Of the North Star appear to be spreading apart. More singular still they think that other groups of stars on the very opposite side Of the heavens appear to be moving

mile. The figure ahead of him grew nearer and nearer, and when the last lap began Wilbur was hardly yard behind.
 Soon It was the last hundred yards, and Wilbur was still unable to pass his op- ponent. He could see the spectators rising In their seats and he could hear their shouts of encouragement. He felt that he must and should win, but somehow 1t seemed that all his strength was leaving him. He felt q dull, dead pain In his legs and his breath came in short gasps. His throat was parched and sharp pains shot through his head.
 It was the last 20 yards now, and the Invinclble runner also was showing signs of exhaustion. Wilbur threw his head back, grltted his teeth and plunged forward to the tape with an almost superhuman effort. for his strength had left him and only his nerve was keeping him up. Just at the finish he passed his rival and threw himself across the tape into the arms of his friends, who were waiting to catch him. A scene Of wild enthusiasm followed.
 Wilbur did not hear the jubilant cheers of the Perseverance crowd for he had fainted nor did he hear the voice of the announcer declaring that Perseverance had won the meet by one point: that the Perseverance relay team had won the silver cup, and that Wilbur Wheatley had won the special medal awarded to the athlete winning the greatest number of points!
 Wilbur came around nicely in few min utes. feeling weak but happy. He smiled faintly when he heard of his clubs triple victory. After a hearty supper and good nights rest he was all right again.
 The banner was hung in the clubhouse and the relay cup was put in glass case in one corner. The boys naturally felt proud to have defended the trophies against all corners.
 As the clubhouse was situated on the rivers edge the boys recognized its advan- tages for aquatic sports. They accordingly built a pier and floats for boating and swim ming and even organized racing crew.
