Submarine Torpedo Boat Tests.

The most excellent work yet done by
a submarine torpedo boat was execut-
ed at Newport, II. l.. the other morning
when Lieutenant Nelson took the sub
marine Porpoise out TO train his crew
with an exhaustion test" The sub
marine supposedly had been fought by
an enemy until compelled TO submerge.
The Porpoise submerged in 100 feet Of
water, then was prepared for her sur
face flight. The amidship ballast tank
was blown out and relieved of 1000
pounds of water and in less than two
minutes reached the surface and fired
q torpedo. The Porpoise then sub
merged again and again came to the
surface in two minutes and four sec
onds and was ready to fire her torpedo.
The boat went through the maneuvers
perfectly.

"SPELL OR PAY" GAME,
Details of a Fnvorite After Dinner
Pastime.

fast1me.
A brand new type of spelling bee is
the latest thing at the clubs, and it is
favorite game when party of men
are sitting around big table in the
cafe, because the losers are stuck"
for drinks or whatever form of re-
fresllli eats is most in demand, says
the Philadelphia Press. One person
takes any letter, say d." the person
next to him thinks of some word COM
mencing with "d' and announces
aloud the second letter of that word
We'll say 81" The third person takes
it up there and thinks of another word
beginning with dr. He might say
Sc" The next might say "a"
The next person is in hole, for I'M
less he gives as the next letter one
which will make part of word he
is stuck" and if the letter be gives
is the last letter of any word then he
is also stuck" He might say m"
but if he did the next man would chal-
lenge him to announce the word he
had in mind. If he said I'm" the next
man would claim a word spelled.
Another instance: Number one takes
cd" two takes ST." three takes 90"
four takes "u," five takes 50" six
takes "h"Nand seven is forced to take
''t' and loses. If seven could have
thought of any word except drought
he might have "stuck" some one be-
yond him. This new game is creating
quite a Juror and is favorite after
dinner pastime and causes much hard
thinking and fun, but it shows up the
poor spoilers terribly.

An Annie TO StanI Cold.

According to statement made by
Dr. w. Saunders, the director Of the
government experimental farms in
Canada, before the agricultural COM
mittee of the Dominion parliament it
seems that an apple tree has been
found which will withstand the rigors
tiers, says an Ottawa dispatch to the
Chicago Record Herald. 1t has been
brought about by crossing the Duchess
or Wealthy varieties with the crab ap-
pie. Although the product of this tree
will not be large, nevertheless it will be
admirably adapted for domestic use.

TO TEACH BY PLAYS.
Plan Urged by Mrs. Emmons
Blaine For Children.
TESTS BEING MADE IN CHICAGO.

Donor of University of Chicago
school of Education Declares That
the Dramatic Idea should he Car
ried Out In schools by Having Chill
dren Act Out Periods of History.
Pities the Modern Stage.
Dramatic acting in the schOolroom
as means of educating the children
in history, literature and ethical truths
is the novel pedagogical method rec
commended by Mrs. Emmons Blaine in
an article Oh 1.-The Dramatic In Educa-
ton in the April number of the Ele-
mentary School Teacher. The maya
zine is published by the University of
Chicago Press and is edited by the
faculty of the New University of Chi
cago School of Education, which Mrs.
Blaine has endowed to the extent of
nearly million dollars. The plan she
suggests is being tried in the classes
there.
Mrs. Blaine holds that the dramatic
instinct is strong in children and that
by careful training it may be made
"a power to construct in them stronger
and better men and women, with
clearer images and finer thoughts"
This dramatic instinct, however, Mrs.
Blaine would have worked out by the
children themselves in schoolroom
plays. She says that there are few
things on the stage at the present
time that children should see or hear
and suggests that the theaters set
aside Saturday afternoon for plays to
be given for the school children.
OF acting in the schoOlroom Mrs.
Blaine says: "School should be a stage.
Periods of history being studied should
be lived in and lived out for the bene-
fit of the others. Each should con-
tribute out Of his knowledge to the

Novelties In Mems Wear.

There are just two novelties in mems
apparel to be seen in the shop win
dows, writes the New York correspond
ent of the Pittsburg Dispatch. One
is waistcoat without buttons. and the
other is an undershirt which goes on
like Il coat. The buttonless waistcoat,
or corset vest, is hauled aft by strap
which buckles in the lumbar region
and gets its piancy through a bit Of
elasuc inserted at the short ribs just
above the hips on either side. This
garment was invented by Kyrle Bel
lew, which is sufficient Endorsement
for anything sartorial.

RUSSIA'S EVIL GENIUS.
Influence of BezobrazOff, Who Is Said
to Have Brought About the War.

There are many in London who de-
clare that the evil genius of Russia to-
day is M. Bezobrazoff. He began life
as an Imperial page and subsequently
went into the army, but being a man
of immense energy and ambition he
soon threw up the profession of arms
and went to the far east to make his
fortune, says the New YORK American
and Journal. Before long he did re-
alize gigantic fortune by specializing
in mines and was subsequently ap-
pointed secretary of state for the far
east From this time dates his I'M
bounded influence over the car.
In Russia it is said that the war has
been brought about entirely by the eff
forts Of Bezobrazotf. The car himself
