India Egypt and Caucasia fall to do, Asia Minor will hardly succeed in do- ing. The influence of the Bagdad rail- way will be confined chiefly to the, orient. If it leads to an increased out put of grain and other necessaries of life, the capacity for consumption on the part of the 15,0oo GOO inhabitants of Asia Minor will, in all probability, keep pace with the production.

Origin Of Grass" Widow.

Philadelphia Record: "Why should
a woman separated from her husband
be called "grass" widow" asked a
young man of the antiquarY. The
tenn "grass widow" the latter answ'
cred, "has nothinn to do with the
heritage on our lawns. Grass is a
misspelling, sanctioned by custom, OF
grace. In the past, when divorces
were rare, a woman separated legally
from her hu sband was called 'viduca
de gratia, by the Roman church and
the French called her a 'veuve de
grace The meaning of both terms is
the same-'widow by grace We took
the 'veuve' from the French, and trans
lated it properly into widow but the
grace we Incorporated into our Ian
qua ge, mlsspelling it in the process.
You would be technically correct in
writing grace instead of grass wild
ow, but it is probable that no one
would understand what you mean"

FROM BANKER TO CONVICT.

MARKMANsHIP OF BRITISH.
With Aid of New Mechanism Aim
is Most Accurate.

The wonderful target practice OF
the British navy, 40 per cent. hits
(which mas since been beaten two
points by our Atlantic squadron in its
quarterly practice), is said to be large
" creditable to mechanical contriv-
ance invented by Capt. Scott, of the
English navy, called "dotter," by
which small paper target drawn to
scale is caused to move in front of a
gun with combined vertical and hor-
izontal movement. While the target
is in motion the gun pointer endeavors
to train the gun so as to keep the cross
wires of his telescope on the target
Whenever the cross wires are son" an
electric connection causes pencil to
make a dot on the target, the dot re-
presenting real shot on a real target
at 1000 yards. Thus the men are ac-
customed TO train the guns under the
disturbing conditions Of ship in a
seaway.
