clined to say off-hand that the less
man knows about the mysterious ways
of woman the better for himself. She
is an adorable thing in the sight of
sensible men now because they do not
understand her. If they understood her
as well, for example, as they UNDER
stand each other, they might cease to
find In her ways and whims, her moods
and lenses, that charm which always
attaches to mystery.
A course of lectures on the psychol-
ogy of woman may result in teaching
the Northwestern university students
that popular understanding of wom-
an means the ability to understand
that she cannot be understood, and
with this possibility in view, there Is
no reason why Prof. Hatfield's idea
should not be encouraged.

1t is not mere chance that Secretary
Hay possesses those high qualities of
craftsmanship that have stood him in
such good stead during the past few
years and have been instrumental in
preserving the dignity Of the American
nation and rendering invaluable SER
vice in world affairs. Secretary Hay
served his apprenticeship in a school
where diplomacy of high character was
needed daily. 1t was only by the
greatest efforts that the United States
was kept out of trouble during the
troublesome times of the civil war.

j. w. BLYTHE.

washington Gowa) Press: j.
w. Blythe occupies the most unique
and perhaps commanding position OF
any man in the state of Iowa today
He has been called Iowa's most dis
tinguished private citizen, and this he
certainly is. Mr.. Blythe's home is at
Burlington, Iowa. BY profession he Is
lawyer and is now general solicitor
for the c.. b. & @. railroad.
He first became interested in Iowa
politics in behalf of his father-in-law,
the late Senator John II. Gear, whose
campaigns he SO successfully managed
during these campaigns he displayed
those qualities of leadership which
have made him what he is today. His
position is unique in that he has never
sought nor held any political office. 1t
is commanding in that he has as many
if not more, men looking to him fol-
direction in political affairs than any
other man in the state. Seldom has a
man who has never held political office
welded such power.
His enemies have at different times
tried to make him out political boss
This charge, however, melts into thin
air before his wise and just purposes
and his genial nature. In his intel
lectual attainments he is more the
scholar than the politician, while in
manners he is a perfect gentleman. He
is a man of few words. but when he
speaks his words are well considered
He is not the man who will ever cause
trouble for himself, his friends or his
party by cratic or unsafe propositions
Vanity and self-conceit, as these words
are generally understood, seem to have
been left out of his makeup. His self
abnegation seems almost to verge or
timidity. He seems to avoid rather
than to seek, the gaze and applause OF
the public.
Notwithstanding these facts, he is {
man of power, and his power spring.
from the evident sincerity of his pur'
poses and his desire for that which !:
best in the nation, state and his par.
ty. He has not always secured the ac-
ton which he desired by his party

An incident which occurred on the
morning on which w. H. Taft first
reached the secretary of wars Office to
take up his duties as the head of that
department, has given rise to an inter-

copied by the press of the country. In
this connection it is necessary to re-

tireless, unremitting care is neces- sary in order to keep the delicate ap- paratus in condition, and then, again, there is the ever-present danger that when the boat is making a trip sub merged the propeller will become en- tangled with some buoy rope or chain. in which event the fate of the crew might be considered sealed, since It would be well-nigh impossible to make the needed repairs.
 On the other hand, the submarine boat manlfestly has countless advantages over the automobile torpedo. Whereas in the case of the Whitehead torpedo, for instance, the opening and closing or valves, the regulation of depth, the steering, the manipulation of the various safety devices and the determination or the length of the run are all done me chanically, or rather automatically, Tn the submarine boat the corresponding operations. are regulated by hand.
 The United States Navy now pos sesses in addition to the Holland seven sfeeI submarine torpedo boats, bearing the names Adder. Grampus, Moccasin, Pike, Plunger, Porpoise and Shark. Each of these new vessels cost $170,o00 and work on all of them was commenced in 1900, some of the new craft having gone into commission last year and others this year Each of these vessels in diameter and displaces about f22 tons of water For operating the boats on the surface of the water there are pro- vided gasoline engines of 160-horse- power, which give the vessels speed of about F miles per hour. For operating these strange craft underneath the sur face of the waves there are electric motors of 70-horsepower, enabling the boats to run at a speed of miles per hour when submerged. Each vessel has one torpedo-explosion tube and carries an equipment of three Whitehead tor pedoes. The coming, or observation tower, which shelters the officer wao

The air-compressor and gasoline engine for driving the electric generator are located astern of the bat tery Above is the dynamite torpedo tube. The motor-g generator weighs two tons and is capable of developing l50- horsepower. There are also small motors for operating the pumps. the air-compressor and the ventilating ap- paratus.
 In official tests the Holland and other submarine boats have demonstrateu their ability to remain under water for long intervals of time and to quickly respond to signals ordering them to ap- proach a ship, discharge torpeoo, wheel about and return to q place or time. Indeed, 1t has been proven that one of these boats can remain SUD merged for space of twenty-four hours without the crew of six men and the torpedo operator feeeling any i'll effects from the close confinement. The boats have maintained speeds or l0 or II miles an hour under water, ana nave proven their ability to proceed contlnu- ously under water at speed or nYe miles per hour for almost six hours without the necessity of rising to the surface for fresh supplies or tuei, etc.
 Lieut. A. P. Niblack, U. s. N. one of the best-informed officers on the subject of torpedo warfare fin the American or any other navy, recently declared tndt there was no reason why the suDmarine boat should not be as successful Tn US operation as the automobile torpeoo, which has done such deadly work In the present conflict in the Orient. At the same time there is no disgusting the fact that the submarine torpedo boat has some disadvantages. For one thing,
