Loud Telephones For shipn.

One Of the most important instru'
ments on modern vessels is the 80.
called loud talking telephone. Ex-
periments have recently been made
with it in the German navy. and have
proved so satisfactory that instru-
ments are now being placed on most
of the large seagoing ships. The spe-
cial value of this telephone lies in the
fact that a captain standing on the
b idge can easily hear any words that
may be spoken to him from the inte-
rior of the vessel, even though vio-
lent storm may be raging at the time,
and can in turn transmit without
straining his voice his own orders to
officers or men in any part Of the YES
sell
Bad accidents have occurred through
misunderstanding Of orders given at
critical moment, due to the fact that
the words were not distinctly heard.
and it is only reasonable to assume
that casualties Of this kind can be
avoided in the future through the use
Of this talking telephone. - Elec-

OF some other way"
AS soon as Marjorie reached home
she hunted up Jack and told him all
about her visits, not failing to mention
her hope Of getting the things that
were needed. Now Jack was just two
years older than Marjorie and some
times he was pretty cross and GLOSSY"

sister, and nothing pleased him better
than to be consulted about things, SO

Kodiak. Not K0diAk.

Off the coast Of Alaska. near Cook
Inlet, is a large island which has had
trouble with it's name-trouble with its
spelling, trouble with its pronuncia-
ton.
The spelling now adopted by the
United States Board on Geographic
Names is Kodiak pronounced Ko-di-
ak, this being a reversal Of the decis-
ion Kadiak made by the same Board
about ten years ago. The universal
local usage as to this name is Kodiak.
Such, also, is the general usage on the
Pacific Coast. 1t is this widely ex-
tended and firmly established usage
which has led the Board to discard an
alleged correct form and adopt an
alleged corrupt form which local
usage has firmly established.-National

A Romance OF the Football Field That
Comes Out All Right.
This is tale, vouched for by more
than one person. although for obvious
reasons the names Of the hero, the
heroine and the grim and hard-hearted
rich old papa have been necessarily
left out. A certain prominent member
Of a Frankford athletic association,
along with other young men Of the
town. was enamored Of the lovely
daughter of one OF Frankford' S
wealthy business men.
Now, this young man is not particu-
larly burdened with this worlds good,
and among the other suitors were men
of considerably more wealth. Yet the
young woman, with the perversity Of
her sex, favored him more than the
rest. Perhaps 1t was his winning
ways or his manly. athletic proper
tions. At any rate. she gave him to
understand that, so far as she was con-
cerned. riches would not stand in the
way Of their union. Now, the parent
Is an enthusiast of the game. He
knew the young man, was aware that
he was football player Of no mean
stripe. and when he asked for his
daughters hand. intimating delicately
that it was for love alone he sought
her, the old gentleman listened pa
tiently to his story. Then. much to
the suitor's surprise, he answered him
thus: "Go and score couple Of goals
for our team; then come and see rle
again."
Highly elated, the young player
bided his time. At last came the
golden opportunity. One Saturday af-
ternoon hiS team was up against
powerful rival. Conspicuous among
his fellow players was the young man.
He was tower Of strength to his
team, and before the game was over,
in a blaze Of glory, amid the plaudits
of his friends, who were little aware
of the stake for which he was really
playing, he skirted the ends for two
touchdowns, kicking goal. He could
hardly wait to doff his uniform before
he was at the home of his desired one.
Succeeding in gaining an interview
without deicy, he Eight speedily did
make the father acquainted with the
result of the game, not forgetting to
remind him Of his promise.
"And now," said the father. "tell me
in what respect you differ from your
rivals in seeking my daughters hand:"
"That is easily explained" said tie
football player. without a moments
hesitation. "They loved for gold
while I goaled for love-"
So pleased was the magnate with
the young mans ready answer and
his earnestness that he gave his con-
sent then and there. Thus did the

Some idea of Earl Cadogan's wealth
may be gathered from the fact that
some thirteen or fourteen years ago
he expended $1,OOo.O 600 on the purchase
OF the Culford estate, in Suffolk. and
the rebuilding of the house. Shortly
after this he presented an extensive

From that time on there was much

large attic Of the Brent home. At this
