JAPAN'S FIRST IRONcLAD
Hlr Crew Made a Brave Start, But Couldn't Stop Her Till Fires
 Went Out.

That the role of Japan as a mar itime power is a new one is brought strongly to our notice by recalling the quite we'll authen' ticated story of the first adven ture of the first Japanese iron clad, says Country Life.
 She was built in England While she was building her crew were also in England practicing, in other ironclads how to drive her. When she was finished the Japanese seamen took possession of her, bravely maintaining that they were fully equal to the task of starting her.
 And that, to be sure, they were, for she steamed out finely. The trouble only began when she came back to port again. Then, when they wanted to slow her down and stop her, they were unable to do so.
 They had to put her out to sea again and go on steaming her about till her fires went out, her engines stopped for want of steam, and she could be lowed in.
 From this to having the best mentally.equipped crews, perhaps, of any nation seems a long step, but it has been a very rapid one.

REMEMBER WOMAN'S GLANCE
Men May Forget the Color of Her Hair, But the Power of Her Eye
 Is Potent.

A woman's eyes are the first objects to attract mans attention, and they are the last things he remembers about her. Long after he has forgotten the color of her hair. the dimple in her chin and the soft. sweet sound of her voice, the look in her eye remains with him, says an authority on the sub- ject
 He may not be able to single her glove out of pile of keepsakes; he may have cast her photograph upside down into the waste basket with lot of others; the slippers she made him may have been worn out by his valet. but still some particular turn of her glance. some little trick of dropping her lashes or lifting her brown eyes will be as clear to him as the daylight Ten years after love has been lad away in his little satin-lined casket that glance will rise like Banquos ghost at the feast and startle him just at the moment when the man is lock- ing most intently into the eyes of an- other woman.
 
 which a man first observes or last re- members. Nine times out of ten a man will turn from the glance of . pair of soft brown, cowlike eyes to gaze into the green orbs of the red- headed girl on the other side of the table. and many a doll-like, blue-eyed beauty weeps because some pug-nosed. tawny-eyed woman has lured away her sweetheart.
 Ask any man the color of his sisters eyes and he will look at you blankly. "Jove." he will remark, "I-I believe I've forgotten. But they're all right. There's something about them that's catchy" And that is positively all that can be gotten out of him.
 The fact that Becky Sharpe's eyes were green or that Cleopatra's eyes were yellow never interfered with the machinations of those fascinating la dies. nor dulled their regulations as coquettes. Color, size and shape may make an eye beautiful, but they never can give it that something which so many beautiful eyes lack and so many homely ones possess. the power to make man break a bank or sell his overcoat in order to give his wife what she wants
 When the world was sentimental men called it "soul." Then they grew practical and apathetic and they called 1t character" But no man will ever know what it is any more than he will IyV ', I,n rr{o Y, ov.ki lar woman he picked out or why the cook has left.

WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young Americans with Genius for
 Invention.

A young man who at 21 had been be- fore the mast, had worked in the chemical department of mill and had lectured upon 1tious-oXide gas throughout the country patented the rotating chamber for a pistol. It was not considered particularly valuable un- til after his first company that made it had failed and fights in Texas and witt the Seminoles in Florida proved it's worth. The Mexican war made a de- mand for it..
 The same mechanic, says the Worlds Work, who did SO much for early ax-making developed details in revolver-making. The American plan of not hesitating at the cost of new appliances was never better shown than in this big armory. The owner was probably the first man to suggest the mining of harbors with torpedoes for defense, and he was the first to lay 8 submarine electric cable One day a young man from Vermont came to his works.
 What can you do?" asked the su- perintendent.
 ''I'm a machinist, a toolmaker and a 1iesinker and I can play horn in a band" was the reply.
 He went to work the next day. A few years later he multiplied by 40 the value of certain labor in another fac tory, and by another invention saved the company $50,000 on contracts ai- ready made. Later, with a sewing ma chine company, he forged shuttles from one piece of bar steel and cut previous costs in half Since that time he has made forgings by the use of drops weighing as much as ton dropping with dies sometimes six feet upon iron, steel and copper. An example of his in ventive genius is the instance of his forging offhand from single piece of copper commutator bars for electric dynamos after the electrician in charge had said that such scheme was inn possible. f{

Priest and Donkey I.

When Archbishop Farley was private chamberlain to the late Pope Leo, some 20 years ago, he was called upon to meet all sorts of persons. Many of them measured wits with him, and few scored victory. On one occasion a young Frenchman tried his best to anger the prelate, then Mons. Farley, by scoffing at religion and clergymen. Failing in this, he resorted to sheer impotence, saying@ q am informed that in Mada- gascar, whenever they hang a priest. they hang donkey along with him"
 The young man laughed, and Mons. Farley. looking at him mildly, said: Well, let us both be thankful, my young friend, that we are not in Madagas- car"

MoccAslNs FOR SOLDIERS.
Inquiries Made by Representatives of Powers at War for "Bangor's
 Golden Slippers"

Inquiries have been received in Bangor, Me-, from persons sup. posed to represent either the Rus. sian or the Japanese government concerning prices for moccasins in large quantities and the earli- est date of delivery at Atlantic or Pacific ports. It is supposed that the moccasins are wanted for sol diers campaigning in Manchuria. For that purpose they would be eminently suitable, says the New York Sun.
 The moccasin is the favorite footwear of the lumbermen of Maine, and was first made in Ban. gor in 1851. At first only one or two styles were made, but now moccasins are manufactured in great variety, ranging from slip pers for women and children soft as kid and embroidered with beads-to the stout boots and lar. rigans of the Penobscot lumber. men.
 Much of the sewing is still done by hand, being let out by the piece to French Canadian families in the neighborhood of Bangor. All moccasins are made of a specially prepared lea ther, rendered gold. en yellow by a peculiar process of tanning.
 The common moccasin is not proof against water, but it has room for several pairs of stock. ings, and that is strong point fin it's favor. For keeping the feet warm and dry in cold weather the moccasin has no equal.
 The greater part of the mocca sin leather still comes from the place of it's origin, Pawtucket, R. l., although considerable quantity is tanned in Bangor. Some years ago Bangor men es' tablished factories at Red Wing, Minn., and Racine, Wis.
 The dainty bath slippers, which are not really moccasins, but are m made from soft elk skin, are in great demand at home and abroad, aid are especially favored by the ladies of Japan, to which country Bangor sends large quantities. It ntw seems likely that EBangor's golden slippers" as moccasins are called, may be worn by the con. tending armies in Manchuria.

Insect Senses.i

Naturalists have decided that many insects have senses which human beings lack. That of loca. tion, shown by the wasp, for in, stance, is remarkable. One spe. cies builds it's nest in a sandbank that is only a part of several acres of such soil, and when it leaves in search of food it covers the nest so carefully that no ordinary eye could discover it's location. That is to say it is just like all the sur rounding location, and yet the wasp flies back to it without he's itation and finds it without mak- ing a mistake. There is another wasp ttat unerringly locates the eggs of the mason bee under a thick layer of sun-baked clay, and deposits her eggs in the same cells that her young may have food when they are matched.
