Where tho Torpedo Falls.

A remarkable fact about this ingeni-
Gus and now most accurate weapon is
that down to the present war in the
Orient there had been no instance of a
ship under way being struck by tor
pedo. All its victims had been caught
at anchor, or were Otherwise station
airy. 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 sub
marine which can neither see him nor
catch him? The design certainly is
to use the submarine against ships
under way to replace the torpedo boat,
which cannot act in daylight. And it
is an open question, which experience
alone can decide, whether it will be
easier for a submarine to catch the
hare by day than it has hitherto
proved for the torpedo boat to catch
him by night. Certainly enthusiasts
will be by no means satisfied if the
submarine proves capable merely of
attack on ships at anchor.

Japs Have No Alphahet.

The Japanese, like the Chinese, have
no alphabet in the ordinary sense,
every word in their written language
being represented by separate char
acter. In telegraphlng in these Ian
guages, therefore, about 10000 words
are selected, and figures ranging from
l up to 1899 are allotted to each word.
Each word of message to be trans
mitted by telegraph in these languages
is then first given its proper number
by the telegraph clerk, by means of a
dictionary which has been prepared
under the authority of the government.
These numbers are then transmitted
by the Morse alphabet, and, when re-
ceived, the message is translated back
into the Chinese or Japanese charac-
ters by reference to corresponding
dictionary.

Science Had No Remedy.

Congressman Hemenway Of Iowa
ellis with unholy glee how an eminent
scientist was discounted while lectur-
Ing in an interior town of the Hawk
eye state. The scientific party, at the
conclusion of a lecture which he had
been delivering, announced that he
should be glad to answer any question
in order to elucidate such points as
might need clearing up. In the audi
ence was an inveterate joker-a tall,
gaunt man with an anxious, careworn
look. The joker arose and in solemn
tones announced that he had ques-
ton. The lecturer bowed. 81 shall
be only too happy to reply to it, sir, "
said he. The tall man cleared his
throat, and then, in loud voice said:
81 would take it as a considerable ia
vor if you would tell me whether this
science has produced any remedy for
warts"

figure reel through the smoke, and
they saw Morris fire again.
Like a sharp echo came an answer
ing shot from Blake. He had half
fallen, with his right knee and left
hand on the marble floor. Morris's
second shot was aimed over his head
at John Burt, who had dashed at Nor
ris and was almost over the wavering
figure Of his friend.
When Blake fired, Morris arms
went up with jerk. His revolver
fell with crash on the floor.
"God!" Morris cried.
Like a column pushed from its base
he fell He turned half over and
lay motlonless.
T've got him, john" gasped Blake,
land guess he's got me! Are you
hurt, John?"
He again raised his weapon I'M
steadily, and pitched forward into
John Burt's arms.
"Stand back and give the man air!"
roared John Hawkins, pushing aside
the morbid crowd which surged
around the motionless bodies. "Bear
a hand, John, we'll take Jim to my
room"
With bated breath John watched
the surgeon as he opened the waist
coat and cut away the blood-soaked
shirt. For a moment he laid his
head against Blake's breast. 1t SEEM
ed an age before the answer came.
"He lives" said the surgeon, reach
ing for an emergency case. He held
vial to Blake's nostrils, and the
watchers saw the faint shudder which
told Of halt in the march Of death.
Then the breast heaved convulsively,
and James Blake opened his eyes and
looked squarely into John Burt's face.
Hello, john" he said, family.
whats the matter? What's happen
ed, old MANI"
"You must keep quiet, JIM" said
John Burt, tenderly clasping Blake's
hand and pushing back the damp
locks from his forehead. "You are a
long way from being dead, old man,
but you must reserve your strength
and obey the surgeons"
# don't want a surgeon-not now, "
declared Blake, in stronger voice
and a auickening intelligence in his
dark eyes. Hello, Hawkins! You
won't be offended, will you. Hawkins,

II ask you and the doctors to leave
me alone with John for a minute or
two?"
Certainly not, my boy, If the doc.
tors say So"
The surgeon turned to John and
whispered a few words, which did not
escape Blakes strangely revived
senses.
You'll probe for nothing until
talk to joint" he asserted. "Im 60
ing to live long enough to tell John
something that no one else shall hear.
Send them out of here, John, or I'll
get up and chase them out"
The surgeon administered a few
drops of stlmulant. and motioning to
Hawkins and the physician, the three
silently left the room.
"Slt close by me. John, and let me
hold your hand" said Blake. Dear
old joint"
Tears gllstened in his eyes as he
clasped the others hand.
IL don't wish you to tell me any
thing, jim" said John, soothingly.
"Just keep quiet. Jim, and make up
your mind that you are going to get
well and be the same generous old
Jim Blake that have known all these
years"

Despair Relief Came from an
Unexpected Source,
Mrs. Emma Heidebreder, of No. 1928
Joy street, Burlington, Iowa, whose hus-
band is an employee of the Rand Lumber
Co., tells story Of pitiable suffering:
"For about five years." she says, 81
had host of physical ills that keptme an
invalid and puzzled the doctors. Some
Of them thought was going into con-
sumption. At times was SO weak that
could not comb my hair or even wash
my face. Then excruciating pains ran
suddenly up my thigh and / had to be
carried to bed screaming i'll my agony.
I could no longer do my work and the
drain upon my husbands purse was
very heavy. I craved food but what l
ate only gave me discomfort. My liver
was torpid, and often I had to be carried
to the door for air to save me from suf-
locating.
"The worst was the pain which seemed
as if my thigh were being pushed out of
my body. The best doctors could do was
to deaden it by narcotics. Once they
thought could not live for more than
two days. In one of my worst attacks,
friend said Why don't you try Dr.
Williams Pink Pills? They are the
only thing that ever helped my rheuma-
ism
~ took his advice. After using one
box 1 felt better, and continued to use
the pills for three or four months with
steady improvement until was well.
For four years have been able to do all
my household work, and no longer have
% take medicine for any serious trouble.
I gave one box of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills to man on crutches because of
rheumatism and advised my market
woman to buy box when she was COM
planning of the same trouble. / heard that
he was soon able to throw his crutches
away, and she told me she had got rid of
the rheumatism by the use Of one box
and could not thank me too much"
Testimony multiplies as to the mag
nificent curative powers of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People in cases of
rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous head
ache, palpitation of the heart and all
forms of weakness III either male or
female. They are sold by all druggists

Morris gazed at James Blake and
for a moment seemed incapable Of
speech.
I'LL think you lie, Blake" he
stammered, after a long pau~e.
Blake raised his eyes and saw John
Burt and Mr.. Hawkins entering the
room. Pausing not a second to weigh
the consequences, he grasped Morris
by the shoulders and whirled hem
around.
Morris threw one arm behind him,
but Blake, scornful of his opponent,
and thinking only of the dramatic eli.
max which offered itself, took no
warning.
"Calm yourself Norris" he said
soothlngly. "Anger does not become

ris drew back in a defiant attitude.
With careless contempt Blake ignored
Morris, and his eyes followed John
Burt and Hawkins as they came
towards him.
At the call Of his name John turned
and saw Blake. His face lighted with
a smile as he stopped anG then
walked towards the group.
The muscles Of Morris face
twitched. and a desperate look came
10 his eyes. With a quick motion his
arm come from behind his back and
something glittered in his hand.
Hello. JIM" said John. Are we

"Mr. Burt" said Blake. his dark
eyes twlnkling with deviltry. and his

He turned to Morris with a mocking

Morris calmly struck light and,
holding the bright new thousand-dol-

he ignited it.

replacing his pocketbook. Must be

Did you burn your fngers-again-

money and won the woman. Keep

Blake, his face flushed with rising
anger, "but since it's to be our last
