The German, Fleet society, to which
Emperor vii lam and nearly all the

through the society's monthly publ
cation, a statement of the considera-

The commu. lication deals with Ger
man trade relations there and goes
seriously into che amounts of the pres
ent capital inv .sted and the future pos
sibilities. It does not contain theleast
trace of iingo.sm, but concludes with
a carefully PIX -ased paragraph saying
that Germans must make up their
minds whethe:' the business already
created shall ] e protected and extend
ed or permitted to languish. If the
former alternative is accepted the navy
must be increased by sufficient cruisers
to adequately protect trade"

WILL SACRIFICE DESTROYER,
British Navy Trying to Break Costly
"nrship in Two to Detect Weak
ness in Construction,

Naval officials have begun expert
ments to discover why so many British
torpedo boat ~destroyers are broken in
two while at sea. The destroyer Wolf,
launched in 1897, and costing 1880, 900,
will be sacrificed i'll the experiments.
The destroyer was first balanced
across a pile of timbers, with both ends
of the vessel unsupported. 1t did not
break in two under this strain and was
next hung by the ends, leaving the
center unsupported. The destroyer
withstood both tests.
The experiments. are expected to
prove whether a destroyer's hull is SO
weak, as was suggested in the case of
the Cobra, that the backsbreaks when
a wave lifts the vessel amidships or a
sea lifts it in suchsa manner that the
wave is hollow beneath the middle.
The tests will be repeated, and if the
Wolf remains seaworthy it will be
taken out in a rough sea for further
experiments. Vessels will stand by in
case of accident.

lsPURN RHODES GIFT
German Students Unwilling to Ac.
cert 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
MS strong among students as in other
classes. 1t was recently resolved at
q 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 r. 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 states 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 81 colleges
at Oxford, and each wants such schol-
arships as are awarded it to come In
der its w peculiar rules of entrance,
and so forth. Some prefer to have
post graduate and others undergrad
uate scholarships. For the next year
l 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
$1,000 a year fer three years, and it is
an interesting question just what
classes of men are going to apply for
them. The fist benefciaries will 60
to Oxford in the fall of 1904, conse-
quently the fEal awards will be made
early in that year."

WANTS KISSING STOPPED.
Virginia Legislator Proposes Law
Requiring p~hysicinn's Certificate
Befo,c Oscillation Is Permitted.

In the Virginia house of delegates
the other day DR.. K. 3. Ware, a prac-
ticiEg physician, introduced a bill to
make promiscuous kissing a misdo-
meanor. 1t is the first measure he has
presented except by request. The act
reads in part as follows:
"Whereas, kissing has been decided
by the medical profession to be a
medium by which contagious and in
fictitious diseases are transmitted
from one person to another; therefore,
be it enacted by the general assem-
bly, of Virginia that it shall be unlaw-
full for any person to kiss another I'M
less he can prove by his family physi-
clan that he hasn't any contagious or
infectious disease"
Violators of the proposed law will
be fined not less than one dollar nor
more than five dollars for each offense.

ELECTRICITY OF TRENCH ROAD
The Motive Power on the Leading
Railway fru:n Paris Is to
he Changed.

On June 1, 1908, electricity will
take the place of steam on the fast
trains of the Paris, Lyons & Mediter-
ranean railway, and it is believed
that the system will be gradually ex.
tended until all the railroad passen-
ger work of the French roads will be
moved by the electric current.
Preparations are now making for
the putting on of fast trains, consist
ing of an electric locomotive and two
coaches, which shall make the run of
400 miles between Paris and Lyons
in five hours-a considerable im-
provement over the slow-going
steam.
These electric trains will carry at
first only 100 passengers, but as the
new system is extended larger ac-
commodations will be adopted, with
the end, it is believed, that steam
will have been entirely superseded.
