SAILS A RAGING SEA.
Novel Life-Saving Globe Is Subject
ed TO Most Severe Test.
Successfully Rides the Wave. on
Dover While They Are Running
Too High for Ordinary
Lifeboat.

Another test has been given the
life-saving globe invented for use in
shipwreeks by Capt. Donvig, a Nor
wegian, says New York Herald dis
patch from London. The object of
this test was to ascertain how the
craft would behave in heavy seas.
While the waves were running ex-
tremely high and a sea was running
in which 1t was declared no lifeboat
could live, the globe was towed by a
tug from Dover harbor into the chan
nek
In order that the apparatus should
be as near as possible in the same
condition as it would be If used in
case of shipwreck, it was weighted
with sandbags. which. with four
men who were in the globe. made the
weight equivalent to that of 20 men
and 80 days provisions.
The globe, without is crew. was
first towed out to sea, between Dover
and the South Foreland.
The strong wind raised terrific seas.
Several times the tug was caught in
the trough and her decks were COM
pletely swept, so that it was neces-
sary to batten down all the hatch
ways, But the globe rode over the
waves like cork. Finally it was
towed into quiet water where Capt.
Donvig, accompanied by three Dover
seamen, went aboard. They fastened
the manhole and the globe was again
t0wed to sea.
When the full force Of the wind and
seas was experienced ,apt, Donvig
>ignaled through the manhole to cast
off the tow rope.
The globe, left To itself, bobbed
about in the heavy seas. hut showed
no inclination to roll over.
After tossing about for ten or ff-
teen minutes Capt. Donvig and one of
the sailors emerged from the man
hole and, lashing themselves to the
outside OF the globe, set a small sail,
which they pulled through the man
hole with them. The air funnel was
used as mast and the queer craft
was navigated back to harbor, dis
lance of several miles.

SCHOOL ON A SHIP.
Nautical Preparatory School TO Fit
boys for Military Academy of
Annapolis.

According to a man identified with
the plan, the projectors of nauti-
cal preparatory school met at the AS
tor house, and it was decided to be-
gin work on a ship that will take
several hundred boys around the
world on cruises while they are be-
ing prepared for college or for the
United States military academy or
for Annapolis.
The name of the boat will be Young
America. William f. Winant, who
is in the bureau of naval construction
at Washington, will supervise the
construction. 1t is to be a sailing
vessel of $500 tons. capable of car
rying about 600 cadets or students,
instructors and attendants.
Mr.. Winant said that the plan of
the nautical school. which is to be
"a school on ship. but not a school
ship" was originated by Lieutenant
Commander c. IT, Harlow. L. S. n,
now executive officer of the Raleigh.
and that his plans were highly COM
mended and amplified by President
Roosevelt and Gen. Leonard Wood
several years ago.
The course of study will last four

RELIGION BASIS FOR DIVORCE.
An Important Decision on the Matter
Made by the Courts in
Austria.

An important decision was rendered
the other day by the provincial civil
court at Vienna which shows the ur-
gent necessity to american and En-
glish women who may be contemplate
ing marriage with an Austrian SUBJ
ject of first obtaining competent legal
advice in the matter. In the present
instance an Austrian named Clemens
Kolischer was married in London in
1898 to an English woman. a singer.
by civil ceremony. Kolischer de-
scribed himself as having no religious
faith, and the bride gave herself as
belonging to the Protestant church.
Kolischer recently applied to the Vi
emma courts for legal separation. and
the tribunal in its decision held that
the marriage was invalid on account of
the differences of religion between the
contracting parties. in spite of the
contention submitted by the woman's
counsel that such marriages are per-
fectly legal in England, France and
Germany.

About Missouri Senators.

Senator Thos. II. Benton served
Missouri in the United States Senate
Just 30 years from 1921 to 1851. II
MIR. Cockrell lives until March 4,
1905, he will have equaled Benton's
long term of service. MIR. Vest took
his seat i'll 1879, and will, therefore,
on his retirement, have served twen-
ty-four years, or one term less than
Benton served and one term less than
Mr.. Cockerell has been elected for.
The next longest term OF service was
that OF David X. Atkinson, who was
senator from 1913 to 1885, and the
next that of DAVID Barton, Mlssou-
ri $ first SENATOR WHO WIS III office
continuously ten years.
The shortest term ever served by
q Missouri senator was That of Geu-
eral james Shields. lie was elected
in 1879, at the same time that Sena-
tor Vest was. Senator Vest, how
ever, was elected for a tull term, while
General Shields was chosen only to
I'LL out the unexplred term OF Sena-
tor Lewis V. bogy, deceased. He
served Six weeks, beginning January
II, ana ending March 1, 1879.
Tins election gave General Shields
unique DISTINCTION OF having been
sent to the United States Senate by
three different states. lie was elect
ed to this office i'll illinois la 1919.
and served q full term. He was also
one OF the first senators elected from
