SUBMARINE BOAT TESTED.
New British Boat Proves to he IL Mar
vel, and Away Ahead of the HGI-
lnnd Type of BOa.S.

Submarine boat Al, tn, joint iR-
yention of Vickers Sons d Maxim
and the English admiralty, has been
tested in deep-sea experiments in the
Irish sea. After several days speed
trials at Barrow docks, the vessel was
towed out before daylight to abouS
five miles from Walny island. Large.
casks with flags were laid down for
a long course and soundings wers.
taken for several miles in the vicinity.
heavy sea was running and thers
was a thick mist.
The boat was quickly submerged
and Travelled several miles without
returning to the surface for some
hours. A depth of from ten to Is
feet was obtained. Maneuvers in
and out the flag marks were made,
the vessel answering her rudder with
great rapidity in whichever direction
it was desired to GO. She was broug;is
promptly to the surface on several
occasions and was submerged with
equal rapidity.
The surface trials were then run,
and the speed showed considerable
Improvement over boats of the Hoi-
land type. The naval authorities
maintain the utmost reticence, maxi
ing it impossible to obtain accurate
details, but at large the Al is con
sidered great improvement over the
Holland type. 1t is believed that tha-
AZ, A3 and "A, which are now build
ing will be more formidable than
any with which trials have been made
by foreign powers.
The Al returned to Barrow aft or
dark. 1t is believed she will be fit
ted with a new petrol engine for the.
purpose of charging her electric ba.-
teries and propelIing her to the sur
face with greater speed than haa.

HORSE-MEAT FEAST PLANNED.
only Aged, Rheumatic Animals Are
to BE Cooked for Dinner
at Berlin.

Distinguished members of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals of Berlin have been invited to
horse-meat dinner by the Fleischer
Zeitung, national organ of the Ger
man butchers, which says it desires to
measure the sincerity 81 the society in
issuing it's recent appeal to the public
to eat more horse meat, so as to be
merciful to animals unfit for work,
which will be relieved of their suffer
ings if the consumption of horse meat
is made more popular. The Fleischer
Zeitung has not yet received any ac-
ceptances to the invitation. The pa-
per promises to put upas good a horse
meat feast as an accomplished cook can
produce, but the only material must be
an aged, rheumatic beast, such as the
society desires to -emancipate. No
young colts will do.

BAN ON SECRET WEDDINGS.
The Pastor of the Little Church
Around the Corner" Announces
II New Departure.

Romance has received Il deadly blow.
THE little church around the corner"
in New York, has turned its back on it.
Hereafter lovers pursued by angry
papas; overnight acquaintances smit-
ten heavily by Cupid darts; rough and
tumble tacklers of matrimony without
previous training for the ordeal; in
fact, all unconventional persons, who
want to have the knot tied with as lit
tie ceremony as possible, will have to
hunt another Gretna Green.
DR.. George Clark Houghton, the
rector, who succeeded his uncle at the
Church of the Transfiguration, has
laid down the law. The game is too
strenuous for DIR. Houghton, and, in
the language of the stage, he "cuts it
out"
This is official, for he has published
it in the Kalendar, the monthly paper
of the church. Here is what he says:
This autumn has brought me a great
many experiences and among them a
large number of weddings, which have
been obliged to decline, because | did
not know the parties. 1t is necessary
that | should know the people who
come before marriage, or they must
be vouched for by persons whom !
know, and they must have acceptable
witnesses. There is a limit to the in
depreciation of charity, and | limit
secret marriages. and marriages un-
supported by family recognition"
The little church around the cor
ner" has been famous for years as
place where any person pining for
matrimony could get the knot tied
without more bother than was legally
necessary. a great many theatrical
people resorted there for that purpose
and it came to be looked upon as the
especial church of the theatrical pro-
fession.

SPURN RHODES GIFT
German Students Unwilling to Ac-
cept Scholarships at Oxford.
Plans Being Laid for the Distribution
of the Two Hundred Scholar
ships In the United states
and British Colonies.

A commission appointed by Emperor
William, consisting of DR.. Friedrich
Schmidt, of the ministry of education
of Germany, and Prof. kielhorne, has
been at Oxford making inquiries as to
the arrangements for the reception
of scholars from Germany, under the
will of the late Cecil Rhodes. There
are constantly increasing signs that it
will be difficult to find German stu
dents of the best types who are will
ing to accept the scholarships. The
German hatred of the English seems
as strong among students as in other
classes. 1t was recently resolved at
a representative meeting of all the
German university corps or dueling
clubs, which was held at kosen, that
the members of these corporations
should have nothing to do with the
Rhodes scholarships. Anyone with a
knowledge of German universities will
appreciate what this means.
Dr. George II. Parkin, the commits
sioner who is charged with the dis
tribution of the Cecil Rhodes scholar
ships in the British colonies and the
United States, has returned to Amer
lea from England. There are some
200 scholarships to be distributed in
the 'tates and colonies" said DR.. Park
in.
Il have been at Oxford for several
weeks trying to get the wishes Of the
oxford authorities as to the manner
of distribution. There are 21 colleges
at Oxford, and each wants such schol-
arships as are awarded it to come un-
der its own peculiar rules of entrance,
and so forth. Some prefer to have
post graduate and others undergrad
uate scholarships. For the next wear
shall be kept busy visiting and CON
sulting with the leading educators of
the states and colonies as to the best
methods of selecting candidates for
the various scholarships. Each of
these scholarships carries with it
$500 year for three years. and it is
an interesting question just what
classes of men are going to apply for
them. The first beneficiaries will go
to oxford in the fall of 1904. conse-
quentIy the final awards will be made
early in that year"

MARCONI HAS A NEW RIVAL.
Receiving Messages 1000 Miles
by Muirhcad system.

The steamer Nedamore, which is
equipped with a wireless telegraph
station, has arrived at Baltimore ami
reported remarkable experiments
with the Muirhcad system. Messages
were received at distance of 1000
miles at sea, but owing to the re
strictcd power of the batteries oper-
ating the station on the vessel the
electrician on board was only able
to transmit a message for distance
of not exceeding 300 miles. Tho
Morse alphabet is used in transmit
ting the messages, and the charac-
ters are recorded on a paper ribbon
the same as a stock brokers' ticker.

BRITAIN MAY AID MARCONI.
If Present Experiments Succeed, tn G
Company VIII Get Govern
mental Powers.

1t is expected that British govern
mental powers will shortly be grant
ed to the Marconi Wireless company
which will enable that concern to work
independently. At the present time
the official regulations prevent any
commercial wireless operations within
three miles of English shores. The
signaling station at the Lizard, which,
it is said, was acquired through Lloyd's
at an annual rental of c 5000, will be
used merely for experimental pur-
poses. Before the success of Marconi
in sending messages and signals from
the Italian cruiser Carlo Alberto. a few
months ago, the English authorities
were chary about recognizing the
commercial utility of the system.
Since the recent triumphs, however,
negotiations have been carried on in
London between Ii. Cuthbert Hall,
the manager of the wireless company,
and certain post Office officials. and it is
thought that these will be successful
Messages have already been sent
across the Atlantic, and the officials of
the company are now merely waiting
for Marconi's promised telegram from
Cape Breton before announcing the
immediate commencement of CONNER
cial operations.
