issues. In these naval constructors are
chasing shadows, more or less. The
sea battle must be fought by the bat
tleship.'i
The battleship, as outlined by the
lecturer, was the epitone of sea power.
Reduced to its simplest terms, it is a
floating gun platform. AS a unit of
offense it contains, on a given dis
placement, the maximum of concen-
trated destructive power for battle on
the high seas, for which it is primarily
designed; and for coast attack. which
is its secondary and seldom used pur-
pose
The difference between the tactical
value of battleshipS and of cruisers,
torpedo boats, submarines and rams,
are those of degree rather than Of
kind, for each merely chooses some
weapon or some quality of the battle
ship. and sacrifices everything else to
it. The special tactics suited to each
are dictated by the battleships. Cruis-
ers, torpedo boats and rams must have
speed to avoid encountering them un-
willingly, or to deliver their blow in
the shortest time SO as to escape as
much gun fire as possible. Submar-
ines must be invisible.
Nothing need he said of monitors,
for their function was purely harbor
defense, and as gun platforms in a sea-
way they were wretched. owing to os-
Citation.
On the other hand, in the design of
the battleship, immunity must be Sc
cured from other classes of vessels, but
this was done, so far as equipment,
dino
cerned, by quick maneuvering quail
tiles, powerful secondary batteries,
search lights, nets and other auxili-
airy appliances; but, primarily, battle
ships were meant to fight battleships
on the high seas, and it was in this
view, gun against gun, that the ques-
ton of tactics should be considered.
Mr.. NibIack then went rather ex-
tensively, by means of diagrams, into
the matter of the increased radius of
gun fire that had been secured by
mounting guns in modern battleships.
This radius had been increased, in the
modern ship, from per cent to 10 per
cent of the arc of the circle. This is
distinct gain for the modern vessel
With modern battleships, the installa-
ton of pairs of heavy guns in the ends
of ship, and the introduction of the
ram and the torpedo have entirely
changed naval tactics
1t is these pairs of heavy guns that
have increased the radius of fire. Then,
too a raking fire has largely lost its
terrors in modern times. because the
bow and stern presentation of a mod
ern batt1eship is very strong, owing to
its concentration of heavy arnaor in
the easements, barbettes, and turrets.
In other words, at close quarters a
raking fire is not necessarily any more
disastrous than firing at the broad
side
The lecturer closed with reaffirrna-
ton of his dictum that in naval war
fare the whole thing was the modern
battleship and would continue to be
the battleship. Nothing else could
take it's place.

DEMAND RED-HAlRED GIRL
Firm Advertises for StenographeT
Who Does Not Use Perfume
Will Test Theory.

Wanted. a red-haired stenOgrapher;
one who does not wear long skirts nor
use perfume
The foregoing advertisement by a
prominent firm is appearing in Sioux
City, Ia, papers. 1t is explained by one
of the firm as follows:
1--WE wanted to test the experience OF
some large manufacturing concerns in
the east who have claimed that red
haired girls give the best satisfaction in
office work. Personally have no choice,
but we concluded that as long as we
wanted a stenographer we might as
we'll try a red-haired one.
"As to not using perfume, we think
this just as reasonable as to advertise
for a man who does not use, tobacco or
whisky. which we do when we want one.
Women engaged in business should not
spend their time in looking pretty and
smelling of perfume. They can be neat
and attractive without OVERRIDING the
thing.
ga woman who has to use one hand
constantly to carry her long skirts
around the office has only one hand left
for her employers business, and she il
lot of much use. 1t is all right to wear
swishing skirts after business hours.
and use all the perfume she wants for
social affairs, but it is not business to
tolerate these in business hours. 1t is
useless for a girl to try to transact busi-
ness when her thoughts are on herself
instead of her employers interests
Long skirts and perfume do not mix with
business in this firm"

Canada Finds Use for Dog Fish.

Instead of Offering a bounty for the
destruction of dogfsh, the Canadian
government has decided to establish
three reduction plants to convert the
fish into fertilizer and glue. They will
cost $4,000 each, and the government
will itself operate the plants, paying
the fishermen a good price for their
fish offal and for all the dogfish they
can bring in. 1t is claimed that the
venture can be made to yield a salts
factory profit. 1t is calculated that
the price paid for dogish and the de-
sire Of the fishermen themselves to get
rid of the nuisance will be incentives
enough to them to keep the reduction
works supplied with all the material
they require. Journal.

THE CONVENTION HABIT.
Together They Organize for
Business.

1t is said to be trait of the Anglo
Saxons that whenever few of them
come together they elect chairman and
proceed to business. A modern humor-
ist had this tendency in mind, says
Youths Companion, when he proposed
the organization of q League for Letting
Things Alone.
During the vacation season just closed
when men and women have had time to
crafty their taste for talk, the papers
have been full of the reports of the meet
ings of congresses of all sorts. The
delegates have gathered from various
parts of the land, have "swapped" eX-
periences, have elected officers for the
ensuing year, and then have gone home
Their pleasure in attending the con-
ventions has been mingled with a modi-
cum of profit. Pleasure ant profit, ad-
vantageously blended, are none too
common in this scrambling world; and
he would be a mean-spirited philosopher
who would grudge them to the purchas-
ers of special convention tickets on
the railroads, or to the patient audiences
Of those who indulge themselves in the
sati5factions of public discourse
The convention-goers, in the heat Of
debate, are still aware that many things
are likely to occur, even in their OWE
field of effort without their constant aid.
They know that the forces OF nature will

seed which has been planted.
Although the AngloSaxon knows
this, he will continue to organize, to talk
and to listen-to the good of his soul ana

member that Emerson once reported ma
ture as looking upon the man who has
just rushed from place Of discussion

ATTACKS DARWIN THEORY
Holland Professor Electrifies Congress
of Arts and Science by Denounc-
ing Popular idea.

Combating the theory of Darwin aa
a theory Of his own which revolution
ICES all ideas of biologists and phyolo-
gists, Prof. Hugo De Vries, professor
Of botany in the University of Amster-
dam, Holland, electrified $50 members
of the congress of arts and science w1p
gathered at the meeting of the section
of phylogony in convention hall at ST.
Louis recently.
His address, which gave for the first
time to the scientific world in detail
the results of a lifetime research,
reused immediate interest, and follow
ing the eminent European Prof
Charles o. Whitman, of the University
of Chicago, took instant objection to
his theories. President David Starr
Jordan, the most noted of the defend
ers Of Darwinism, and biologists from
all sections of the world participated
in the hot debate which followed.
Prof De Vries does not wholly dis
credit Darwin. On the contrary, ne
rather emphasizes some of the main
essentials of that renowned scientist.
but in such a manner that if the
thought of the Eollander becomes rec
ognized as a basic principle Of evolu-
ton Darwin must necessarily be rele-
gated to the ranks of those who for a
time have occupied the stage Of ac-
ton.
In theoretics language the thought
of Prof De Vries is in this strain:
Natural selection is only a seine and is
no force of nature, no direct force Of
nature as has so often been asserted
Artificial selection consists of two
main principles, called variety-testin9
and racial improvement. Species as We
see them in nature fiuctuate within
fixed limits which are not seen to be
transgressd.

THE MULE AS A KICKER.
There Are Those Who Profess to Be-
lieve the Animal Is Sian
dered

It has become an everyday assertion
that nothing, or hardly anything, is
sacred in this generation, says the Phil
adeIphia Record Traditions which
have had the sanction of uncounted ages
and which were never before questioned
are now glibly and contemptuously de-
MED by the confident present. Perhaps
the most appalling instance Of icono-
clasm is that Of Col Jenkins, of the
Nebraska national guard, who protests
that the mule is the most maligned Of
all amiable creatures, and that it has
never, in any circumstances, kicked
man.
There could be no more striking proof
Of the incredulity, the rank agnosticism
OF the time than this attempt to set
up the mule as gentle, affectiOnate
and fOrbearing beast, which bears no
malice and would allow man to tack
a placard on its rump without kicking
out. But it is not mainly because of
it's significance in this regard that the
denial of the mules kicking DISPOSE
tion is mischievous. Should Col. Jen-
kins' estimate of the mule accepted,
vast amount or profanity which has
been looked upon as excusable or neces-
sary must be charged against mankind
as both wanton and cruel Even the
army chaplains were induced to con-
cede the blamelessness of the passion

lieved, required of it's driver-whether

accepting the statement of the incred-
ulous.

KOREA QUIET IN THE INTERIOR.
Y. 8. Consul Morgan Says the Stories
About Bandits Are False.


About Bandits Are False.
Edwin v. Morgan, the United States
consul at Port Dalny, who has arrived
at Seoul, is the first American official
to journey from Fusan to Seoul over
land. The trip took 10 days.
Mr.. Morgan says that contrary to
the stories that are constantly circu-
lated in Seoul to the effect that ban
dts are active in this section, he found
the country people to be quiet, con-
tented and peaceably pursuing their
vocations. There is promise Of good
crops.
There are many Japanese small trad
ers along the railroad line as far as
Taiku, but none north of that point.
AS far north as Shoken, Sc miles
from Fusan, the railroad is new and
well built, and the trains run smooth
ly. The SO miles of road to Mitsuyo
are open to regular passenger traffic.
The IA miles to Seido are traversed
only by construction trains. This Sec
ton has stone and iron bridges, the
culverts are faced with masonry and
the cuttings are complete. On the last
section Of the line, to Shoken, the
bridges are not yet finished. The 1000
foot tunnel south Of Taiku is not COM
pleted. A switchback is being built to
Croso hill. The engineers in charge
of the construction work hope to con-
meet with the branch being built south
from Seoul by the end Of this year.
Leaving the railroad at Taisu, Mr..
Morgan followed the main Japanese
telegraph line into Seoul. The tele-
graph line is patroled daily by bodies
Of from IL to 20 gendarmes, who are
stationed at intervals of 80 miles.
Mr.. Morgan was treated with great
courtesy by the Japanese officials.
