Our Luxurious Navy.
From the Plttsburg Dispatch.

Rear Admiral F. 7. Bowles,
chief constructor of the navy, has
figured that the larger warships
carry about three hundred and fifty
tons of bath-tubs, radiators, ice
machines and other luxuries which
have no proper place in battle
ship. He points out that whereas
II ward-room officers use one bath
tub the Admiral has two, one for
himself and one for a guest, used
about once year; that is, the one
for the guest. The necessity for
avoiding the use of woodwork as
much as possible has also led to
the designing and installation of
much special metallic furniture and
other fxings tending to beautify
the officers apartments. If these
luxuries were removed Admiral
Bowles believes that the radius of
action of every battleship would be
increased over 80 per cent by carry
ing $50 tons instead.
1t is something of a shock to find
that General Won Waldersee's idea
OF making a campaign with a seven
roomed house and bathtub has
permeated the American navy. But
now that Admiral Bowles has shown
the necessity for reform there can
be no doubt that his suggestions
will be patriotically accepted and
personal comfort sacrificed for
steaming capacity. 1t may even be
believed that if the matter is pre-
sented in a proper light the II
ward-room officers will allow the
Admiral and his guests to use their
bathtub when not engaged.

Good Roads in Reach.
For Every Dollar Contributed
by the Township and County
The State will add Four Dollars

By the enactment of the new road
law the state has made it possible
for any township to have good roads,
and with the principal cost on the
shoulders of the state. Whenever
the people of township are willing
to pay 81 for good roads, the county
may be required to pay an equal
amount, and the state will add 81
for every 81 provided by the county
and township, and in addition fur
nish the help of the state highways
commissioner in making the roads.
There is hardly township in
the state that cannot put up few
hundred dollars for good roads. If
half the money that is wasted in
throwing mud OH bad roads could
be made available for good roads,
along with what the state has ap-
propriated, the highways of Penn
sylvania would be so much better
in three years that no further argu-
ment would be needed in favor Of
road making on sensible plans. The
state has put it in the power Of any
township to commence good road
making. 1t is the main road Of the
township that costs the most money
to keep in repair. If the township
will start petition for the improve
ment of the main road, and get it
once in shape, the annual cost for
repairs will be materially lessened
and each year money will be avail
able for improvement OIL other roads
until all are fit to travel at all sea-
sons of the year. Concerted moves
should be started in every county
in Pennsylvania to put this law into
commission. 1t is the opportunity
of the rural neighborhood and its
earnest adoption by the townships
will change the whole character of
rural life. The township will now
determine whether they will have
good roads at the expense of the
state. e.-dIilfoR Record.

CROWDS AT THE OIROUS.
"Loopinq the Loop" in an Automobile A
Feature Out Of the Oroinay-Rlng
Display and Menagerie.

Whether or not John Robinson
has incorporated "ten mammoth
shows" in his production, which open
ed Louisvile's circus season at the
Horse Show building yesterday, it is
enough to know that he has at least
furnished the public with Zone good
show"
Notwithstanding the fact that the
weather was not OF sort conducive
to circus going, there were two large
crowds in attendance at both perfor.
mances yesterday. An indoor circus
is a novelty to Louisvillians, hence
the weather is not taken into account
so long as the spectators have roof
above them.
Those who saw John Robinson's
offering yesterday are willing to attest
that he presents what is technically
known as a "true show" In other
words, he shows what he advertises.
81 was skeptical about that auto
mobile looping the loop" said we'll
known citizen as he emerged from
the Horse Show building last night;
81 thought that was all on paper, but
when that daredevil they call the
man from the moon shot around the
loop in his engine, was willing to
take off my hat to John Roblnson's
show"
Another feature which, from
spectacular standpoint, is truly mar
veous, is the gorgeous spectacle of
King Solomon's reception to the
Queen of Sheba For barbaric splen-
dor of ensemble, for impressive and
majestic movement, this scene is
easily a triumph of spectacular art,
and one of the strongest features of
the show.
"Tiny," the pet monkey, was easily
the favorite from juvenile point of
view, aud his associates, though less
interesting, are splendid specimens of
the monkey tribe. Other beasts and
birds and reptiles, more or less famil-
lar, make up an interesting menagere.
The circus proper, consisting of
three rings, is fully up to the high
standard of the modern ring show.
The performances include noted bare
back riders, gymnasts and trapezists.
These performances close with
series of hippodrome races, which are
up to the average. The afternoon
performance begins at o'clock and
the evening entertainment at 8 o'clock.

NEAR TO SOUTH POLE
Borchgrevink's Record Broken by
"Discovery" Expedition.
Comm nder Scott Succeeded In Get
ting Three and One-Ha1f De-
grees Further south Than
Norwegian Explorer.

The Morning, the relief vessel to the
British antarctic ship Discovery, has
returned to Lyttelton, New Zealand,
and reports that she found the Dis
covery on January 30 in McMurdo bay,
Victoria Land. From the record of the
expedition brought back it appears
that the Discovery, which left Lyttel-
town about Christmas, 1901, made Cape
Adare on January 9, and coasted along
the great ice barrier which runs east
ward from Cape Crozier as far as longi
tude 1890, where an extensive gla-
cial land with lofty peaks was discov-
cred. Returning westward, good win
ter quarters were found near Mounts
Erebus and Terror and the ship was
frozen in on March g.. When winter
had passed sleighing began on Sep
tember 2, 1902, and number of sledge
journeys were undertaken in various
directions, the most important being
made by Commander Scott, Dr. Will
son and Lieut.. Shackleton, who trav-
eled south until they reached latitude
S2.17 and longitude 163 west, and es-
tablished a worlds record for the fur
thest point south. The trip was made
under very trying conditions, and the
party had to drag the sledges back to
the ship, the dogs having died on the
the outward journey. Lieut. Shackle-
ton burst blood vessel in one of his
lungs, and almost died from exposure.
He returned on board the Morning. An
other party, which included Lieut..
Royds and Mr.. SHELTON, visited Mount
Terror, and travelled along the ice bar
rier, which is believed to be afloat,
though fed from the land ice. Lieut..
Armitage made a sledge journey to
the westward, and attained an altitude
of 5000 feet. On the return journey
he fell into crevasse, and if he had not
been roped to the others would have

Woman Has Money to Bprn.

Mrs. Ann Law, of Spring street,
Trenton, N. j., cooked a 30-cent steak
the other morning with roll of green
backs worth $500. Mrs. Law was 60
ing to Philadelphia on shopping tour
and drew $500 from the bank. She laid
the money, which was inclosed in an
envelope, on table in the sitting room.
She decided to breakfast on steak be-
fore leaving home, and, gathering a
handful of paper, kindled fire in the
kitchen stove. When the steak was
cooked it dawned on Mrs. Laws mind
that she had used the greenbacks for
ldndling. She gathered the ashes and
took them to the mint in Philadel-
phia to find out if she could get her
money back.

fallen 1000 feet. Symptoms of scurvy
appeared among the men on the
sledge journeys, but disappeared on
their return to the ship. Though look
ing aged by the hard life and having
experienced some privation, owing to
part of the supplies being bad, the Of
ficers and crew of the Discovery looked
well and cheerful, and they have de-
termined to spend another winter
among the ice. The most important
geographical discovery made by the
expedition is that Victoria Land has
been found to extend at least as far
as latitude $500 south, and it is
thought that the greater part of that
region is vast continent which
stretches away to the pole in a series
of lofty mountains. The lowest tenn
perature recorded by the expedition
was 81 degrees below zero.
Almost nothing was known of the
south polar regions until 13O years ago,
when Capt. Cook circumnavigated the
earth in latitude so degrees, and proved
the absence of the great southern
continent" which, until then, had been
supposed to exist. The antarctic cir
Gle was crossed for the first time by
Cook in 1878, when he succeeded in
penetrating to latitude II degrees ten
minutes, a record which was not
broken until 1922, when Weddell at
tanned to latitude 74.15. In 1S42 Sir
James Ross penetrated to latitude
1910, and this remained the highest
southern point ever reached until
1900, when Borchgrevink pushed he
way to latitude 7S.40, and constituted
another record, which has now been
| broken by Commander Scott, who sue
ceeded in getting three and a half de-
grees further south, or to point only
$50 miles more distant from the south
pole than Nansen's furthest point was
from the north pole.

WORLDS PETROLEUM SUPPLY
Scientist Declares That Deposits of
the Globe Are of Volcanic
Origin.

E. Coste, the president of the Cana
dian Mining institute, recently read an
interesting paper before that body,
says the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser, setting forth his reasons for
believing that the petroleum deposits
of the world are of volcanic origin. He
points out a number of facts which
render the theory at present generally
held by geologists-that it has arisen
directly from the decomposition of or
ganic remains, animal and vegetable
untenable.
He calls attention to the fact that
no such process is at present under
way; that all organic decomposition of
animal matter is so rapid and COM
plete that there is no opportunity for
the entombment of anything but
bones in sedimentary rocks; that as
the oil deposits of the lower silurian
limestone of Ohio and other fields are
below the carboniferous beds and as
it is generally admitted by biologists
that previous to the latter age there
was very little vegetable life on the
earth, these enormous deposits could
not have arisen from organic remains,
because there were few organisms at
that time, and, finally, that if petrol
cum was due to the destructive distil-
la ton of coal, there would now be no
coal beds, all having long ago been
transformed into petroleum and a
cokelike residue.

Yet Men Drink 1t.

A molecule of alcohol is composed of
two atoms of carbon, six of hydrogen
and one of oxygen; so synthetical al
cohol is obtained by uniting these
atoms accordingly. For long time
it has been known that by direct COM
bination of carbon and hydrogen in the
electric arc, acetylene can be obtained,
Sufficient hydrogen must be added to
the acetylene to produce ethylene, a
constituent of Illuminating gas. In
combining water with the ethylene al
cohol is obtained. Thus, alcoholis pro-

DIVORCE IN ROYAL FAMILIES.
The House of Besse Has n Record
That Was Abborred by
Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria disapproved very
strongly of morganatic marriages, al
most as much as she did of divorce,
and she dealt very peremptorily with
her son-in-law. the husband of her
favorite daughter, Alice of Hesse,
who took unto himself morganatic
wife shortly after the death of the
grand duchess.
This lady was the Grain Hutten-
Szapska, with whom Duke Louis
lived only one week, so vehemently
did his mother-in-law let him hear
her mind on the subject, says London
Sketch.
The Hesse family, indeed, are some
what addicted to both divorce and
morganatic marriages.
Wilhelm of Hesse was divorced
from Princess Elizabeth of Schaum-
burg-Lippe; and his sister, Princess
Maria Augusta, divorced her cousin
husband, Prince Won Hesse-Phillip-
stal, very shortly after her marriage
to him.
A generation ago Prince Alexis
Won Hesse, uncle of Ernst Louis, was
divorced by his wife for cruelty, as
he used to drag her about in the cor
ridors of his palace, Mon-Bijou, in
Berlin, by the hair.
While out of the recent ancestors
of the family, Wilhelm Ernest Fred
erick of Hesse was actually married
four times and divorced twice!

ed a lecture before the Henry
George Association of Chicago
Monday, in which he said: Men
catch trade unionism, speculation,
combination, as they catch the
measles or the mumps. Capital has
caught the fever of combination
until it has gone mad over corpora
tions and trusts. Likewise labor
has caught the fever of trade union
ism, and without knowing what it
means or realizing how it may be Of
real service to the world, has turn
ed its power and energy in the di-
rectlon of building up organizations.
Unless this force is turned to politi-
cal power or to substantial methods
for bettering industrial conditions,
rather than gaining temporary or
personal advantages, then all this
great movement must be for
naught." The whole lecture of
