A remarkable fact about this ingen-
ious and now almost accurate weapon
is that down to the present war there
had been no instance of ship under
way being struck by torpedo. All
its victims had been caught at anchor,
or were otherwise stationary. And,
from the best information available,
the same thing has happened between
Russia and Japan. Now, the question
arises, If the torpedo boat, which has
power to catch the hare, cannot cook
him, how is the cooking to be done by
the submarine, which can neither see
him nor catch him? The design, GER
family, is to use the submarine against
ships under way to replace the torpe-
do boat, which cannot act in daylight.
And 1t is an open question, which ex-
perlence alone can decide, whether it
will be easier for submarine to catch
the hare by day thar 1t has hitherto
proved for the torpedo boat to catch
him by night. Certainly enthusiasts
will be by no means satisfied II the
submarine proves capable merely of
attack on ships at hor.-London

One of the first cases which Chaun.

to the bar was a civil suit involving a
somewhat complicated question of in
heritance.
In no way daunted, ) soung Chauncey
tackled it, looked up authorities all the
way back to Julius Caesar, and pre-
pared an argument of few hundred
pages which seemed to him more than
unanswerable. His only fear was that
it might be beyond the comprehension
of the court.
When the time came the young man
rose and plunged in boldly. The Judge
seemed Interested, and Chauncey took
further courage. But at the end of an
hour and a half in the midst Of the
most intricate part of his plea, he was

A YANKEE CAPTAINS NERVE.

In parallel iifty-seven degrees, in the
dog watch, 4 TO p. M, when the chief
officer came on deck to relieve the sec
ond officer, he swiftly cast his eye to-
ward the horizon in the direction of

minute to blow away. As nautical
etiquette forblds an officer in charge
to alter canvas when the captain is on
deck without his command or consent,

turn relieved the first, he also gave Il
rapid glance about, and said: Cap
tain Mather, that main topgallant sail
is struggling very hard" "It holds n
good full; let it stand" Mr.. McFar-
land" was the reply. Even the old
sea dogs among the crew begged the
petty officers to send them up to take
in sail, while 1t was held safe to do so.
AS the helmsman turned his wheel,
every turn of spoke would make the
ship jump in the water like fright
ened bird. Men were stationed at
every Delaying pin, holding halyards
and clew lines, by single turn 'un-
der and over" ready to let go and clew
up at a signal. We were making a
record passage, and sail was to be car
ried to the last minute, the utmost the
ship could bear, while every exigence
of storm was anticipated. Later in
the evening the captain could not help
asking II the crew still thought that
he had married the owners daughter.

ways, a quality of mind usually exhib.

TWO LIVES FOR A FRIEND.

"Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his
friends" These words Of the Christ
We're exemplified when Herry Weigh,
OF Newport, and George Pletz, of Har-
risburg, unhesitatingly faced almost
certain death to save the life of George
Smith, companion. Their sacrifice
was successful, but Weigh and Pletz
sustained injuries which will result in
death.
The three men were railroad labor
ers and were erecting block signal
station or the Pennsylvania Railroad,
twenty miles west of Newton Hamil-
ton, Pa. Smith was crossing the
tracks and stepped between a signal
bell crank and the rail just at the mo-
ment that block operator around a
curve was setting signal for fast
passenger train that was due. Before
Smith could withdraw his foot the
crank was turned and he was caught.
Realizing that the trail; was bearing
down upon him, he shouted for help,
and Weigh and Pletz rushed to his res.
cue, carrying with them pair of crow.
bars. The train swept around the
curve at the moment tley reached his
side and Smith gave himself up for
lost, but his comrades did not for a
moment lose their courage. Thrusting
their crowbars under the crank they
lifted it from Its fastenings and Smith
fell back out Of harms way. 1t was
too late, however, for the rescuers to
save themselves. The engine hurled
them high In the air and their injuries
are so serious that they cannot re-
cover.

ORIGIN OF COINAGE.
rhe First Inventors Of Gold aud siIvcr
Coins Ares Ago.

1t has been recently stated that Pas
tor Losmanp, of Berlin, during late
visit to Northern Syria, obtained coin
Of pure silver in n good state Of pre-
servation upon which is an Aramean
inscription OF king known to have
reigned 800 years before Christ The
name of the king is not given, and the
account is somewhat vague, but 1t has
attracted attention from the bearing
the precious metals.
The invention of gold and silver coins
has been attributed TO the Lyndians
and to the Greeks. Herodotus ascribes
the first coin to the Lydlans. and the
date has generally been fixed at about
700 Il. G. Others claim the credit for
Pheidon, who was king of Argos some
where about $50 B. c.. according TO the
calculations generally accepted. As the
last of the Aramean kings is said TO
have yielded TO Tlglath-Pilesef, of sy-
ria. between T45 and 725 b. c., the re-
,cent discussion would seem to give the
earlier date to the Aramean coin.
OF course, II is premature to conclude
that this is established until the sub
ject has received more mature inves-
tigation. We are, at frequent inter-
walls, treated TO discoveries of specl-
mems of "the shekel of Solomon" and
coins purporting TO be such are exhib-
tied. They have on them inscriptions
in Hebrew characters that were not
in use until long after the time Of Sol
omon, who lived 1000 years before
Christ. The temptation TO make these
antiquities TO order is very great, and
an extensive business Is done in them.
The new find in Syria may be of this
character, or there may be mistake
as TO its date. AT the same time, il Is
not improbable that there are silver
coins older than those of the Greeks
or Lydians, and IL so they may natur
ally be expected TO have existed in the
great monarchies of Asia. louisville

jar in which a lining of saltpeter and
gelatin inoculated with bacteria is
placed. Two days after incubation the
jar becomes Illuminated with a won

innumerable bacteria which have de-

Travelling Tree Stump.

There exists in Hickman what proba-
bly, has never been seen anywhere else
in this country, a travelling tree stump.
Not more than two years ago residents
who lived on the hill every day turned
out of the beaten path to circumvent a
large tree stump in the middle of the
sidewalk. That tree stump is now some
thirty feet from the spot where it grew,
having slid down the side of the hill
that distance. AS it gradually moved
out of the walk the hole left was filled
up, and when it eventually was clear
the sidewalk was rebuilt and no more
thought given to the phenomenon other
than they were pleased that the stump
had moved out of the way. The stump
was formerly an elm tree and meas
ured some two feet in diameter. When
it was cut down is not definitely
known. 1t is yet some distance to the
bottom of the hill, and it is altogether
likely that the stump will not rest until
It goes the full length.-Hickman (Kyo
