command at Santiago, gives him
no more credit than that given to

Strange Tish Charged with Electricity in
Cuban Waters.

Strange Tish Charged with Electricity in
Cuban Waters.
Nature and artlnce approach each
other In fact, invention Is the chief
means OF their mutual approach, lnas-
much as invention Is merely the prac-
deal application Of natures laws. AZ
the same time It seems surprising TO
find that Mature has devised a submar-
Inc torpedo boat ages before man ever
thought OF building such a contrlyance.
Cuban waters swarm with these sub
marine terrors Of natures manufacture.
Torpedo rays they are called. They
constitute one OF the puzzles of science.
Ages before Benjamin Franklin first
drew sparks from the clouds they had
solved the principle of electrical stor-
age. In fact, they are living storage
batteries. They are an ancient type
Of fishes. contemporary with the
sharks The torpedo ray Is the first
cousin to the common skate which It
greatly resembles, though much larger
Each OF It's big feshy wings contains
an electric battery which is as truly
such as any arrangement of Leyden
Jars in a scientific laboratory. The
batteries consist Of a large number of
hexagonal cells, each Of which is ca
pable Of storing a certain amount Of
electrical energy.
Scientists have given a great deal of
study to this extraordinary animal,
and they assert that its batteries are
nothing more or less than modified
muscles. The back of each electric
organ is positive, while the ventral
part-that is, the side toward the belly
Of the fish-is negative. 1t has been
ascertained that current can be con-
veyed through water for a considera-
bic distance It exercises all the known
powers of electricity, rendering needles
magnetic, decomposlng chemical COM
pounds and emitting sparks.
1t is not known just how much cleo
tricity is stored by a full-sized torpedo
ray, but the amount must be consider
able judging from it's effects on hui
man beings who have been struck.
Natives in Central America are said
to make a practice of driving wild
horses into water where fishes of this
kind are. in order that the latter may
stun the frightened quadrupeds and
make them easy to capture. Only
two other kinds of animal possess
electric organs-a species of catfish
and the well-known electric eel"
Both eel and catfish have their storage
batteries located in their tails. - St.

WISE WORDS.

Results are the best rewards.
The easy path leads nowhere.
Education is greater than instruc
ton.
Calmness is the mark of true cour-
age.
Truth is not made false because we
doubt her.
A conspiracy of silence is usually
one of sin.
Daily drudgery may be the door to
divine delights.
Dark days make good background
for bright lives.
Only those whom the cap fits viii
criticise its cut.
Vice is never so vicious as when ar
rayed as virtue.
Sorrow is the silken cord that makes
the circuit Of sympathy.
Some people miss to-day's mamma in
looking for to-morrow's.
1t is not our burdens but our sore
backs that make life hard.
Bigotry kills truth and seeks to
brighten folk with her efigy.
The old man may have a greater
future before him than the youth.
When the heart is full Of faith the
hands will be filled with good works.
Some people forgive by forgetting,
but the true way is to forget by for

Woman's Elton Jacket.

Elton Jackets fill a definite need and
are exceedingly fashionable both for
suits and separate wraps. The smart
model pictured in the large drawing is
shown in etamine in black, with bands
of taffeta, stitched with corticelli silk,
and small silk buttons, and makes part
of costume, but the same material,
cloth and silk, are all used for general
wraps, while all suitings are apprO-
pirate when packet and skirt are made
to match.
The back is seamless and fits with
nerfect smoothness. The fronts are
pointed and extend slightly below the
waist line. At the neck is a square col
lar that adds greatly to the effect, but
which can be omitted when a plain
finish is preferred, or it is desirable to
reduce either weight or warmth. The
sleeves are in coat style, slightly far
ing at the wrists.
TO cut this jacket in the medium
size four yards of material twenty-one
inches wide, three and five-eighth yards
twenty-seven inches wide, one and
seven-eighth yards forty-four inches
