They went to the probate judge Blushingly the girl told the judge the story and asked to be appointed the guardian of Alfred Grayland, infant. The judge had been young himself, once, and probably in love a good many times. So he signed the papers, and Myrtle Thyme took possession of her ward, Albert Grayland, and all his property-he is we'll off. She married him right away, but, under the laws of Minnesota, she has to report to the probate judge every cent spent by her husband. All his cigar money goes into the report. When he spends 50 cents to see ball game the amount has to be inserted in a bill of particu. lars and filed with the court
 The young bride even was compelled to pay the two-dollar fee for the li- cense and the three-dollar fee to the justice of the peace. These expendi, lures she had to report to the court as marriage expenses" of her ward. Furthermore, she must keep good eye to his conduct, for in this state guar dians are responsible for the moral as we'll as the financial welfare of their wards.

Saved Sister Augnafa.

SEA CLIFF, N, Y,, July 25.--After a score or more of men bathing in the surf had disregarded her cries for help, Sister Augusta, nun of the French Orphans home here. was saved from drowning by Claude c. Huyck, the seventeen-year-old son of hotel keep CT. It is feared, however, that the shock and exposure to which she was subjected will cause pneumonia. It has been the custom of Sister Augusta. who is an expert swimmer, to take the chil. dren of the home into the water every day in summer to teach them how to swim, and about sixty were with her. Six hundred feet from shore she found herself in depth of about ten feet of water and became distressed. She was brought in after a hard struggle by young Huyck.

FUEL ROOM BOMB PROOF.
Storing of Coal at Rock of Gibraltar Accomplished with Curious
 Plant,

The storing of coal at Gibraltar is ac- complished by means of very curious plant, which has just been completed for the pumping station at Landport.
 Tn the huge rock-fortress the coal store, boiler house and the engine room adjoining, are worked under compressed air. and are necessarily airtight. The store to which the coal has to be con veyed is hewn out of the solid rock, and is absolutely bombproof. A special fea- ture is the arrangement of the coal plant in such a way that it does not interfere with the air pressure. The coal is lifted from the coal tip 57 feet below the hori- zontal traveller. This skip by which the coal is conveyed is raised by means of a steel wire rope working over pulleys and round a driving drum. The time occu- pied by the skip in travelling from coal tip to coal store is two minutes. At this end. and on a level with the motors, a sentry box is hewn out of the rock, where the man who controls the gearing for hoisting the skip is housed and has prac- tically a full view of all three operations.

New Auto Device.

Col. Renaud, of army, aeronaut and automobile celebrity, has just per- formed another service for automobil- ism. There was recently laid before the French Academy of Sciences an in- genious eontrivance invented by him for measuring the power of motors. It is an apparatus which is attached to the axletree of the motor, and as the action developed is in proportion to the cube of the speed, it is enough to register the number of revolutions in order to determine the speed and conse- quently the corresponding power. Self registering tablets are provided to ob- viate all necessity for making calcula- tions. The apparatus is capable of registering up to 150 horsepower.

DRESS fyAMiNG LATEST FAD
London Craze Taken Up Ky Wouen's Tailors Is Becoming Ram
 pant Among Patrons.

"A late London fad.'' said the girl who knows, to a Philadelphia Record man, is the naming of particular dresses in ones. wardrobe. The dress makers began it, but now the wearers of the creations are taking it up.
 The First Kiss as originally put out by maker. was of white so far as the color scheme went. with edgings and ends of the stuff tipped with rose leaf shaped bits of crimson, but whether these dashes of red were in tended to suggest lips or not I do not know. A Dream of Paradise was trimmed with filny lace, through which ran tiny threads of silver, with an occasional silver bead. Now many gowns are being named by the women who order them. sometimes after a male friend and sometimes to suggest 8 sentiment appropriate to the occasion on which they are to be worn.
 Second Thoughts. for instance was the name given to a Severely plain gray costume ordered by lively widow upon returning to London just after attending house party where the doings were so gay as to cause almost scandal The idea is that the mood of the wearer Is suggested in the name of the costume. and the name is more or less suggestive in it's style and appearance, I haven't yet heard of anybody ordering Divorce Suit yet, but that may come"

New Automatic Compass.

M. Heit, a French inventor, has de- vised a new type of compass, which is of an automatic nature, The direction of the, compass by this arrangement is automatically registered minute by minune, so that by consulting the chart the ships officers can ascertain the route traversed at any time during the passage. The compass card, instead of having at its center an agate resting on fixed steel point, is fixed on steel pivot, which rests on a fixed agate. The lat ter is immersed in a drop of mercury, which serves to conduct the current of electricity that makes the registering movements of the apparatus possible,

AN INSULT TO THE powERs.
View Taken In Japan of Russian
 Volunteer Fleets Work,


 VoIunteer Fleets Work.
 TOKYO, July 25.-The passage of the Dardanelles by the Russian yolun- teer fleet steamers, the seizures of German mail and the capture in the Red sea by Russia of the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Malacca have attracted great attention throughout Japan. The government is watching the situation keenly, but it has not given any form of expression to it's views or indication that it will take any action in the matter.
 The editors of the Tokyo newspapers have met and passed resolution de- claring that the passage of the Oar dapelles by the Russian ships is q yio- lation of treaty obligations and an in- suit to all of the powers; that the sci zure of ships by the Russian volunteer vessels jeopardizes the interests of all neutral powers and that Russia's ac- ton endangers the peace of the world.

Does Not Concern washington.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Any ac- ton which may be taken regarding by the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk is a matter for the British government. 1t is not q marter which ill the least concerns the United States. This is the view taken in official cir cles here. However, the decision of the Russian government to withdraw the authority given to the volunteer fleet to make searches and seizures simpli- fies the situation very materially. Pre- sumably in view of this new attitude of the Russian government the Ardova will be released promptly, the seizure disavowed and the incident closed without delay.
