SPEED OF TORPEDO BOATS.

Depth OF Water Has Great Effect
upcn Power Needed in Operation.
The recent tests of torpedo boats in
the Bay Of Dantzig. Germany. have re.
suited in the asccrtainment Of some
facts regarding their navigation not
hitherto known. The particular object
Of these experiments was to ascertain
the influence of the depth of the
water on the speed Of the boat. II is
stated that up TO a speed of twelve
knots an appreciate influence was
observed, but from fifteen to twenty
knots the unfavorable character Of
the influence increased in proportion
to the diminution of depth. In shall.
low water-about two fathoms deep
twice as much power was required Of
the engines to get the speed easily
obtainable in deep water.
With an increase of speed, the
strange fact was remarked that condi.
tiors unfavorable TO the boats way
were no longer apparent in two faith
oms. but rather at n depth of four or
five. and better results were obtained
in shallow water than in twenty faith.
oms. In consequence of these Obser-
vations the government naval archi-
tect, Herr Paulus. at a recent confer
erce of marine engineers, proposed to
petition the admiralty to allow OF
the experiments being repeated with
considerably larger warsh!ns.

About Sleeves

The very wide sleeves that are be-
Ing worn at present undoubtedly tend
TO take away from the apparent
height of the figure. and IL you are
rather inclined to be short yourself
you will do wisely to exercise Judi
cious supervision and to forbid your
dressmaker 10 indulge in any vagaries
either as regards the shape or trim
ming Of your sleeves. You can still
have something which is quite suffi-
ciertly fashionable without adding
in an unbecoming way to the width of
your figure.

Mr.. Arthur finally grew weary OF the
delay and turned TO Mr.. Belasco. The
piece, it is said, was Immediately &C
cepted and the gifted producer de-
clares that the mounting will be the
most elaborate and beautiful he has
ever achieved. The scenes OF the
piece are laid in India in 1906. and
are in or around the ancient capital
OF Agra during the reign of Emperor
Jehangire. The scenic and sartorial
possibilities of the piece are declared
almost limitless, and Mr.. Belasco
promises to achieve something truly

Marie Antoinette Bodies.

The tendency toward the Marie An.
toinette bodice for evening wear is
marked This style is really fascinat,
ing, with its long. pointed waist line,
and very full skirt shirred into the
skirt band. In white or ivory silk,
the mode is ideal, and by next autumn
it will be firmly established. This
would not appear to admit Of any
change in the present full skirts. but
would rather tend to increase them II
