TO KEEP STRANGERS OUT.
cladiRE from Coast Defense
Fortifca tI0ns.

Strict enforcement of the policy of
excluding from the coast defense
Notifications persons not connected
with the military establishment of
the United States has been decided
ON by the war department. There Ia
a regulation which prohibits any per-
son from visiting the paraPets and
emplacements without special au-
thority from the secretary of war. A.
some artillery posts this has been
rigidly adhered to. while at Others
its laxity has been the cause of con
siderable comment. At the present
time it is aimed more directly at Wis
itors and military attaches of foreign
governments.
At some posts visitors are permitted
to visit the quarters, the parade
grounds and other places Of interest.
but an armed sentinel bars the pas
sage to the newly mounted guns. At
Fortress Monroe a number Of guns
of obsolete type are kept on view for
the benefit Of visitors, who are ad-
mitted to the post under certain re-
strictions. At Fort Washington, near
the national capital, the rule is strict
~ enforced. and no one is permitted
about the post unless on official bust
ness. This In equally true OF nearly
all the recently equipped coast de-
lenses and particularly so of the forts
about New York. including the Sandy
Hook proving ground.
Notwithstanding this, a peculiar
condition was discovered at Fort
Wright, where several guns of large
caliber have been installed and where
emplacements have recently been con-
structed. This work about the en-
placements was let by contract and
the contractor has been permitted to
employ on the government reserva-
tiol a large gang of italians, who
have been unrestrained in their OBJ
servation of the mounting of the
guns, the storing of ammunition and
the plans of the emplacements. This
has been called to the attention of
the war department. and acting Sec
rotary of War Sanger has determined
to bring the matter to the notice OF
the proper officers with a view to
remedying the evil

ginering work Is done, will be con
suited with and the contractor mott

WILL START NAVAL BASE.
The Government negins Experiment
90 Learn what Time Is
Needed.

The navy department is now engaged
in the experiment of establishing n
naval base on Culebra island, near
Porto Rico. The object is to ascertain
just how quickly such work could be
performed in the event of hostile
emergency.
The big feet under command OF Ad-
miral Dewey, which is to perform ex-
tensive maneuvers in southern waters
next winter, will assemble at Culebra
and base of operations will be neces-
sary. The harbor of Culebra will be
buoyed and wharves for landing ma
rines and supplies will be constructed.
A large supply Of coal will be shipped
to that point and buildings for the
storage of materials, etc, will be erect
ed. A careful account OF the time con
sumed in doing this work is to be kept
and the navy department hopes to gain
valuable suggestions from the infor-
nation obtained.

ARMY OFFICERS DISSATISFIED
Complain That Sufficient Time Is Not
Given Them to Change to
New Uniforms.

Army officers are complaining that
the war department has failed to
give them a sufficient time in which
to replace their present uniforms
with the new apparel recently pR-
scribed by regulations adopted by "A
board of officers. 1t is held that the
army should be allowed year to effect
important and extensive changes in
uniforms such as is contemplated by
the new regulations. When impor-
tant changes are made in the navy
uniform that period is allowed Off
GERS in which to wear out the uni
forms they possess before they are
required to go to the expense Of
equipping themselves with the new
habiliment. Another cause of COM
plant is that some staff officers must
provide for themselves eight differ
ent headgears, and all officers must
have at least seven. The eight
pieces Of headgear which have been
adopted among the regulations are
the chapeau, which is confined to
general officers and officers of staff,
corps and departments: the full
dress cap, the dress cap, the white
cap, the service cap, the white he'll
met, the service helmet, the yellow
helmet, and the campaign hat.
This equipment and the varied as
sortment of devices and insignia must
be part of every officers uniform
by January 1. This requirement OPP
crates as hardship, especially on
the younger officers who have been
recently commissioned and who have
just purchased their military apparel,
and who must now refurnish their
wardrobe.

UNDERGO A HARD TEST.
Blue Jackets of the United States
Aiding In Giving OIL as a Fuel
a Thorough Trial.

At the experimental oil fuel burning
plant esta blished by the bureau of
steam engineering, navy department,
the crews of the torpedo boats Gwynn
and Rodgers are facing duty which in
severity is seldom thrust upon blue
Jackets of the United States navy.
They are Drawing the fierce heat
caused by the burning of crude pc
troleum as fuel an experiment which
has frequently overcome engineers in
merchant ships. The result of this
test will go further than any previous
experiments to demonstrate the true
value of oil as fuel, and will, II It
meets with success, result in the in
Stallation of an oil,burning plant, first
in torpedo boat, then In a gunboat,
then in a cruiser and finally In bat
tleship. The adaptability and intelli-
gence of the American sailor Is dem
onstrated by the manner In which
the blue jackets have taken hold of
their work. Accuracy and watchful-
ness are essential in this work

NEW YACHT FOR EDWARD.
Watson Designs Racing Cutter for
King Which VIII Try Chal-
len9er of Am erfca's Cup,

King Edward Is to have now
yacht. Watson Is now designing q
Wig racing cutter for his majesty,
which is to be ready for the racing
season of 1903.
The new yacht probably will be
named the Britannia, but will bo
larger than the famous old boat Of
that name.
The first use contemplated for tho
new boat is a series of trial races
with Sir Thomas Lipton's new chal-
lenger for the Americas cup. This
report suggests an explanation OF
the unexpectedly amicable manner
in which Watson and Fife have
worked together in designing the
new challenger. The kings interest
in the Americas cup racing has been
proved by his purchase and fitting
out of the Britannia for the trials
of Shamrock l.
The building of the new yacht by
his majesty was not unexpected. as
at the beginning of Queen Victoria's
fatal illness he cancelled an order for
a similar boat.
These trials will give an immense
FLIP to the interest in racing on this
side, but curious difficulty will be
raised should the royal cutter prove
better than the challenger proposed
by Fife for Sir Thomas.

GREAT METHODIST TEMPLE.
Magnificent Structure to be Erected
In London Opposite Westmin-
ster Abbey.

At the Wesleyan conference at
Manchester Mr.. Robert William
Parks, NJ. p, treasurer of the Free
church congress, who is well known in
connection with Mr.. Yerkes' London
enterprises, announced that $1,O41, 900
had been promised for the fund Of
$5,O0O,O0O, which British Wesleyan
ethodists started to collect three
years ago for the object of education
al, religious and philanthropic pur-
poses.
He stated that the Methodists had
secured the Royal Aquarium theater
property, facing Westminster Abbey,
on which they would build great hall
which is to be called the Central
Headquarters of Universal Method
ISM"
The price paid was $1,650,0O0. The
ground comprises two and one-half
acres, and on it also stands Mrs.
Langtrys Imperial theater.
1t is probable that some arrange.
ment will be made by which the I'M
perial theater will remain where it
Is. though it may be transformed into
an annex of the church house, the
building of which is expected to com
mence early in 1908.
Since it was opened in 1876 the
Aquarium has been famous place Of
amusement for Londoners.

IN THE TIME OF PEACE.
Secretary Root Issues Address to
Army Asking 1t to Perfect IT.
self In Military Science.

Secretary Root has issued the fol-
lowing: with the reduction of the
Philippine force and the withdrawal
from Cuba, the army is called upon
to resume it's most important work in
time of peace-the work of perfect
ing itself in military science and
skill, and of promoting the prepare
ton of the United States against flu
ture wars. l wish to call your at
tention to the conditions which now
require especial effort and zeal on
your part in the performance of this
duty.
"The abandonment of the military
schools for commissioned officers,
which followed the employment of
the entire army in active military
operations, has left these 1912 new
lieutenants substantially without any
means of acquiring systematic mill
tary education.
Congress has now with wise liber-
atty made provision for the reopen
ing of the army schools, has given its
sanction to the general system of
military education embodied in the
general order of November 81 last,
including the enlargement and devel-
opment of the Fort Leavenworth
school into general service and staff
college, the establishment Of the war
college at Washington, with suitable
buildings, and the rebuilding of the
engineer school, and has made ample
appropriation for these purposes.
Every effort will be made by the
war college board, which has general
supervision and charge of the whole
system, to bring its advantages to
the new officers of the army as
speedily as possible, and to organize
officers schools at all the consider
able posts without delay"

NEW COLORING FOR OLEO.
Palm OIL, for which They Clai,u
Great Nutritive Qualities,

Wonderful discoveries are being
made in the manufacture of oleomar-
garine, dairymen claim. The most
remarkable nutritive value of palm
oil, 1t is charged, has been ascer-
tanned, within q comparatively few
weeks; that Is since congress passed
the amended Grout bill imposing a
tax of ten cents pound upon cleo
artificially colored in imitation Of
butter. Mr.. Outcault, of Cincinnati,
appeared before Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Yerkes the other day
and argued at considerable length,
as counsel for the oleomargarine
manufacturers, to prove that the re-
cent discovery of the nutritive value
of palm oil was not directly due to
the fact that It's use would impart
a coloring to the product.
Dairymen, it is claimed, have used
palm oil as coloring, and are now
protesting against its use by the
oleo-makers on the grounds that it
Is a violation of the law, which inn
poses n tax Of only one-fourth cent
a pound on oleo that is not artificial
Iy colored. The dairy people insist
that the use of palm oil should sub
ject cleo to tax of ten cents a
pound.
Charles Knight, of Chicago, secre-
tary of the Dairymen's association,
is in Washington and will appear
before Commissioner Yerles to SUBJ
NIT the dairymen's side Of the con-
trogersy. He says the dairymen can
not understand how dairy manufac-
turers have for years failed to recog-
nize any nutritive or other desirable
property in palm oil, and now, after
the passage of the oleo act, sudden
ly find that palm oil, which will give
a coloring to their product, is prac-
tically indispensable, and must be
used to give the people an article of
food they demand.

DISCOVERS PECULIAR DISEASE
French Doctor Says Pupils Lose
Flesh During the Taking of
Examinations.

A new disease just discovered by a
French doctor might be entitled EEK
aminitis."
He has found that an examination
always reduces the weight of candi-
dates. He took 240 pupils and weighed
them before and after examination,
and in every case there was loss Of
weight, in some cases as much as a
pound and a half The sitter the ex-
animation the greater the loss OF
weight.
This is a proof that few hours
strain in the examination room brings
about n serious arrangement Of the
nervous system. which he considered
eminently unhealthy and is likely to
do permanent harm.

Sex and Food.

From the London Lancet.
The man tends to expend energy and the
woman to store 1t up in the form of fat;
he burns the faster. This sexual difference
shows itself in the very blood; the man has
a larger percentage of chromocytes (red
blood-corpuscles) than the woman, showing
that he needs a proportionately larger
quantity of oxygen in order to maintain
this more active combustion-a fact which
one may associate with his comparative
freedom from chlorosis; moreover, weight
for weight, his pulmonary capacity is
greater than that of the woman, whose
smaller respiratory need is further shown
by the facility with which she can, without
discomfort. diminish her breathing power
by means Of the corset. The great contrast
between the metabolic activity of the two
sexes was forcibiy brought home to me by
military display given by a troupe Of
dusky amazons, with whom were also a
few male warriors. The women. in spite
OF their daily exertions, were all rounded
and plump. some very much so. no single
muscle showing through the skin, and 1t
was noticed that their movements, though
full Of grace. lacked energy and 60 The
men. on the other hand, were spare. their
muscles standing out plainly under the
shiny skin, and they, in further contrast
with the women, displayed a truly amaz-
ing agility. bounding about and whirling
round In most astounding fashion; the
women. in short, were essentially anabolic
and the men were katabolic. / may here
apt to be larger meat eaters than women,
just as they are possibly In consequence OF
this very fact more prone to drink alcohol
and to smoke tobacco"
