squadron approached the entrance to
the harbor. 1t was shortly after 8
o'clock in the morning and most of the
officers and members of the crew were
at breakfast on the flagship. Vice Ad-
miral Makaroff was eating in his cabin

officers, who were on watch, examining
the narrow entrance preparatory to en-
tering it.
At about $50 o'clock there was a
terrific explosion of the boilers, fol-
lowed a few seconds later by a detona-
ton from the we'll stored magazines.
Huge gaps were torn in the hull of the
ship and the water rushed in. The
center gravity having gone, the ship
rolled on it's side and sank.
All information tends to prove that
a mine was responsible for the de-
struction of the Petropavlovsk.

In its answer to the county's action to

the state board of equalization had no

not on a percentage basis, as the law
requires. Formerly the company made a

ANTI-SITTING DEVICE.
Central American Inventor Idea
for Making Bfddy Forget Her
Dream of Maternity.

When a hen gets a notion into her
diminutiye brain that it is her mission
to lead a bunch of downy-covered chicks
over the garden it is a very difficult
thing to convince her otherwise. There
may be many excellent reasons ad-
vanced by the farmer why it is not de-
sired that she should take upon herself
this unselfish duty; but no matter how
many or excellent are his reasons, they
carry no weight with the hen.
Being chased from one nest, she will
take her place on another, and in the
absence Of eggs she will set on any
thing, from a load of cobblestones to a
watermelon. Fooled at one effort, she
VIII make another, and cling to the OBJ
Ject OF her ambition with a persistence
worthy of a greater cause, until the ag-
graVated farmer is almost ready to
wiring her neck.
The means of preventing a hen from
setting seems like a very humble prob
lem to occupy the throbbing brain of
an inventor, but the matter has been
recently attacked by a genius of Brit
lsh Honduras, who is so sure that he
has found the solution of this mighty
matter that he has gone to the trouble
OF taking out patent papers in this and
other countries.
The apparatus consists merely of a
loop of wire adapted to fasten to her
leg and encircle the limb il such a man
ner that the fowls freedom of foot is not
interfered with in her ordinary rambles
about the barnyard in search of food;
but the moment she tries to locate her.
self on a nest she finds a yawning chasm
between them.
She may hover around and over the
nest, but it refuses to receive her ro-
tund form. This is because the wire
loop which has been fastened to her
prevents her from bending her leg, as
is necessary to assume the setting pos
ture. 1t is said that after repeated eff
forts to find ~hospitable nest she gives
up her task and forgets her dream Of

Advantages of Incubators.

Among the numerous advantages of
the incubator over the hen may be men
toned the following: The incubator is
always ready for business while a hen
only sits when she feels like it. 1t is
less work to care for an incubator than
for a sufficient number of hens to hatch
the same number of chickens. The
greater the egg capacity used, the more
time is saved yer that required for the
care of the hens. The chickens are so
much more uniform in size and age that
they are more easily cared for, more
cheaply fed and present a much more
attractive appearance when fitted for
the market. Again chickens Matched in
%incubators are always free from lice and
generally remain so till they are large
enough not to be much injured by them.
a thing that can rarely be said of hem
